Minority MindsetOn April 30, Zoltan Pozsar, founder of Ex Uno Plures—an empire of wisdom, or at least opinions—shared prophetic words on how the West and East are trading tariffs like children trading blows, each convinced destiny sleeps under their flag.

LeventeTheGamer’s post explores the familiar contrast between hopes and experiences, particularly in the context of family relationships and creative pursuits. As novice game developers, we may fantasize about grand celebrations and acclaim from our immediate family, who represent our initial audience, supporters, and even critics. Given Levente’s ambitious dreams, it’s not surprising that the harshness of reality stings more than a sharp pixel-art sword. Such high expectations can be difficult to let go of. In his words, he imagined his brother and parents commending his efforts, but the pain of unmet expectations when faced with indifference is palpable. Many artists find themselves setting themselves up for disappointment by assuming their creations will captivate their closest loved ones. However, this longing can often turn into a dangerous path littered with the “indifference bombs” of disinterest.

If you visited a movie theater this weekend, you might have thought you were time-traveled to 2005. The place was filled with Star Wars memorabilia, Darth Vader helmets, costumes, and fans engaging in mock battles with lightsabers on the screen. There was excitement and tears as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi engaged in their epic duel on Mustafar.
Adding Bailey, right after inviting Eric Trump in March (presumably to curate the board’s hair product recommendations), means Metaplanet’s boardroom now resembles the afterparty of a mid-tier cryptocon: a whirlwind of enthusiasm, dubious ties, and probably at least one PowerPoint rendered entirely in Comic Sans. Together, will they guide Bitcoin to glory—or just drive up the price of local sparkling water?
Featuring Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence playing Maddie and stage sensation Andrew Barth Feldman portraying Percy, the cast of No Hard Feelings breathes a delightful retro charm into the nearly extinct genre of racy romantic comedies. The film honors the romantic comedies of the ’90s and 2000s by incorporating them with a profound emotional bond between Maddie and Percy’s developing romance.
