Same I know him from The Boys and never thought of him as the nepo baby, but now I’ll always be reminded of that. Didn’t know he was Meg Ryan’s kid either.

I would be grateful to be in a position to be called a nepo baby. That means my life is pretty good and I wouldn’t want to struggle unnecessarily if I don’t have to.

Depends on the industry. Degree based ones like medicine or accounting and or trades are easier to get into the industry to make a comfortable living for the average perdon. Now upper tier is another matter, and that does heavily benefit from relationships if going for like high management level positions.
But, the art and performance based ones like movies and music is one where relationship definitely is heavily shifted to being important, and talent and work ethic guarantees nothing. And financial security is very unstable and hard to attain for the average person, so every advantage matters.

If I were him only thing worse than being called a nepo baby would be my mom coming out publicly to tell people not to call me a nepo baby. That’s like further drawing anything to the issue and as embarrassing as a student would be of their parents loudly telling everyone in school to not be bullies.

Haha yeah it actually shows what a huge initial advantage it even is to be able to get a chance to act in the industry, and highlights how they could have not been in the industry without nepotism. There’s a lot of talented people but only so many people the industry is willing to give a look, so relationships really matter if you don’t want to rely on lottery type luck. Industry doesn’t have a shortage of people.

I think I’d have preferred an anime Mad Max.
- Comment on Fallout - Teaser Trailer | Prime Video 11 months ago:
I have no hopes like I had no hopes for Halo. When it comes to games it is more in the territory of prove you don’t suck as opposed to I believe you’ll be amazing.
- Comment on The Boys – Season 4 Official Teaser Trailer 11 months ago:
Problem with a lot of shows is that they start off strong then get worse and worse. Kind of felt like it is headed that way with how the last episode ended feeling like a sitcom of everything just returning back to the status quo with some slight changes to up the stakes, but it really remaining the same. So I feel like show should be coming to and end soon anyways.
- Comment on House of the Dragon Season 2 | Official Teaser 11 months ago:
Only reason I gave it a chance was that the source material was complete and considered well written, and having read it after season 1 I can confirm show should be in good place. Even if it isn’t I don’t care, since unlike Game of Thrones the source material is actually available.
- Comment on House of the Dragon Season 2 | Official Teaser 11 months ago:
Pretty good and then it ended on a cliff hanger so I finished it through the book instead of waiting around for 2+ years. Book was very good.
- Comment on Deckverse Video - 1200p Screen Replacement 1 year ago:
I’d go for high fps but same resolution. There’s some rhythm games that benefit from higher frames with it mostly being just scrolling notes so run on potatoes.
- Comment on I Spent More Than I Saved on this Refurbished Steam Deck 1 year ago:
His union stance was what made me start viewing him less positively. What is good for the company and the founders is going to be different from what employees consider beneficial for them. But, taking the stance of the benevolent dictator of how he would consider it a failure on his part if a union formed while trying to sell it off as though it wasn’t really profit motivated but concern for the workers made me roll my eyes.
Of course it would be profit motivated with impact on payroll, hours, and benefits being impacted and him having less control over what he considers to be fair compensation.
Linus having his podcast and having a platform to start going off the script made me start not liking him much. Lot of his takes gave the impression that if Linus were an ISP he’d be completely for caps.

Wait for a sale for products that you want that have gone on sale before. Saving money is the coolest.

Standalone VR!
- Comment on Steam Deck: KontrolFreeks with Capacitive Touch! 1 year ago:
Conductive fabric tape is brilliant.
Cleaned up the Amazon url since it is crazy long
- Comment on Done with the shell swap! Took 5 hours 🫡 1 year ago:
Every time you play on the deck it’ll be rewarding, since you’ll see it every time you use it. Unlike some cosmetic mods.
- Comment on The steam deck feels very heavy 1 year ago:
The thickness is especially nice. I used grip attachments with the switch which at that point made it nearly as long as the Deck. They did not design those joycons for regular hands. If the controls were detachable on the deck I’d be using it as my main controller. I really want a comfortable joycons style wireless controller.
- Comment on The steam deck feels very heavy 1 year ago:
You’ll get stronger as you keep using it and then the weight will be fine.
- Comment on Probably the worst Deck 2 design I've seen 1 year ago:
And typing.
