What is this meta drama?

Disney paid them off again like with Captain Marvel and the Sequel Trilogy.

Joke of a website

They can do all they want. People are not going to watch woke trash anymore. People have had enough. They will fail where it hurts them most, in their pockets. Flop after flop, it won't be sustainable anymore. Wokism is dying

Not the first time they do this and won't be the last. They usually "fix" the audience score and fill it with bots reviews. It's in their interest to defend any woke show. Rotten tomatoes is owned by fandango media which is owned by Comcast. And Comcast largest shareholders include Vanguard Group Inc, BlackRock Inc., State Street Corp, Capital International Investors, etc. They are all cut by the same cloth and they want the same thing. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CMCSA/holders/

Sorry not sorry, but it's the truth. I have been in the dating scene in and out for the last 14 years and starting to realize men have become super weird and creepy these last 23 years ( post covid depression maybe?) with lot of them trying to groom young women and becoming more misogynist with lot of them straight saying dtf and unmatching if I refuse ( at least before they used to TRY by messaging/going out to dates).

Y'all really need therapy because that ain't normal and need to lower your expectations/learn how to socialize.

Men are getting weird

BG3 was in EA for almost 3 years, worked out ok for that game. (-1)

Maybe not so much “not ready for EA” from a gameplay perspective (which is still completely debatable), but price for games going into EA is a different story. (2)

The price is a little steep, but it pays for your box price when it launches. So it's not like you're only paying for EA access and have to pay the box price again later. So whether you play now, or play in 1 year+ you'll have to fork up the $40 🤷‍♂️ doing it now just lets you experience the development cycle. If that's not your cuppa tea, and only prefer to pay for finished products, then you can wait. All up to you really (-1)

one game out of how many? Unicorns are not a basis for expectation. (1)

Unicorn? Yeah, that's what the AAA Devs want you to believe it is, "Don't judge us by that standard". BG3 is how it should be done, without having to cut corners just because the publishers want to hit deadlines. (0)

Hi, you're incorrect. If a game hits EA in a state which players deem "unplayable" it's going to get flamed with down votes cause people don't fully understand the point of testing. PD is currently still in an alpha state imo with a lot of its systems unpolished, combat being a big one. I'm personally a bit nervous that the game is going to get hurt because of this. I have played so many early access games as well as closed alpha and beta tests and the amount of people who don't understand the purpose of these phases is vast and have hurt a lot of games. I'll be there for the EA test and give feedback, help find bugs and all that, but the people who don't buy an EA game with those intentions, the ones who for some reason want to give bad reviews to a game just cause they "cannot recommend it in its current state" are cancerous.

I really really miss the old way steam used to do it. The Green Light system was so much better. The games had to be vetted and meet several requirements before it was allowed to be green lit. But now people argue over what early access is, what the requirements should be, and games fail before they were even meant to be released. Furthermore, every day there are at least a hundred trash games that just appear out of nowhere with zero vetting... (3)

This is a crazy story with a lot of twists and turns that starts in New York in the late 1950s

Our story starts with a lawyer named Burt Pugach becoming infatuated with a girl named Linda Riss. He takes her on dates, buys her fancy gifts , and gives her rides to work every morning. And this courtship works, and Linda and Burt start dating.

All goes well for about a year, until Burt drops news no gf wants to hear -- Burt is already married, and has a kid. Linda is pissed, but Burt tells her he's in the process of getting a divorce. Linda still is not happy. But Burt doesn't give up, and shows up at her house with divorce papers in hand to show he's serious. The problem? The divorce papers are FAKE.

Understandably, this is the last straw for Linda. It's bad enough to have a secret wife, but fake divorce papers? She breaks it off, and soon starts dating a new man, Larry Schwartz. After just a few months of courtship, they get engaged. Burt is not giving up, he sends letters and flowers and gifts and asks her friends to pass along messages. When that doesn't work he starts threatening her, throwing rocks at her window, tells her he'll have people kill her. As you might expect, this doesn't work either.

Furious at Linda, Burt hires 3 guys to go to Linda's house, ring her doorbell, and throw lye in her face. She's rushed to the hospital and spends 3 months there receiving surgeries and other medical care for the caustic burns caused by the lye. Ultimately, she is left totally blind in one eye and partially blind in the other eye.

Even worse, shortly after this, Larry and Linda call off their engagement, either because they fear Burt or because Larry doesn't want to deal with a blind wife. A few months later, the police track down Burt's hitmen, who immediately rat out Burt. Burt gets sentenced to 15 years in jail.

This is where a lot of these stories would end. But Burt is still madly in love with Linda and starts writing her love letters from prison, speaking fondly to her. And Linda, she's broke, living alone in Manhattan, she's lonely, so she starts writing him back and they become pen pals. And when Burt finds out about her financial struggles, he starts sending her money he's been getting from doing paralegal work in jail. This arrangement continues for 14 years, and eventually Burt gets out. And when he gets out, they start dating again!

Burt is kind of a celebrity for his criminal act and gets invited onto TV to do an interview, where he pulls out a ring, turns to the camera, and proposes to Linda on TV. And she says yes, and they get married just 8 months after Burt gets out of prison. They co-write a book cashing in on the drama called "A Very Different Love Story"

At some point over the next 20 years, Burt starts cheating on Linda with multiple women. In 1997 point one of his mistresses comes forward and claims that Burt has started harassing her and threatening her with violence, just like what happened with Linda. Unlike Linda, this mistress takes Burt to court. And poor Linda, she appears as a character witness in the trial for Burt! And Burt beats most of the charges.

Linda dies in 2013 of heart failure at 75. But the drama still isn't over! Burt must have felt some remorse for what he did for Linda, because he wrote his will to leave most of his $15 million inheritance to a foundation for the visually impaired he set up in her honor, with some longtime friends also getting some. But when Burt died in 2020, his updated will left most of his money to his caretaker Shamin Frawley, and nothing for the foundation. Shamin is accused of coercing him into changing his will after he had a stroke, and withholding food and medicine until he died. But that's still working its way through the court system.

No really drama but I get an LOL at freelancewriters crying about not making any money. Then some gems turn up and thought this is funny since it's likely one of these stories got posted to rdrama. He wrote some on AITA too.
