  • To clarify a point I haven’t seen brought up yet; lead actor contracts run the gamut on how they’re paid. If I recall correctly, Scarlett Johansson sued Disney for breach of contract when it offered the movie Black Widow on its Disney+ streaming service while it was still showing in cinemas. Johansson’s lawsuit argued that Disney violated her contract by debuting the film online and in theaters, which cost her up to $50 million since her salary was largely based on box-office performance.

    So essentially, this is covering the “creative accounting” studios use to pay their actors as little as possible.





  • I honestly don’t know where I fall on this spectrum. I went to college for Musical Theatre, becoming an accredited actor. On the other hand, I am a huge tech enthusiast. But I feel like an idiot savant. I have experience with raspberry pis, creating mods for pc games, building my pc, and some elementary Python understanding, but my understanding is very paint by numbers. If there’s not multiple articles with information on a project, I’m probably not going to be able to solve it. So like, right in the middle maybe? I’d make for a good rubber duck.

  • One thing that hasn’t been mentioned yet is how these games redistribute resources/tear down existing power structures. Fallout and Grand Strategy games all start with the tone that everything is starting over, ie nobody in Civ starts with all the land and wealth. A fair slate instinctively fulfills a comrade’s ideals, while allowing the fascists the opportunity to BECOME the power structure and make everyone else submit.

    Fallout specifically touches on leftist libertarianism in how many of its civilizations operate, but generally speaking all of these games allow you to see and build political power as you see fit.


  • Okay, I’ll bite:
