Tron: Ares Set To Start Big at Box Office Despite Low RT Score

by

I’m really excited for Tron: Ares! Early reports from Variety say it’s expected to open with around $45 to $50 million domestically. It’s directed by Joachim Rønning and the story is about the first time humans encounter beings made of artificial intelligence – apparently, a program from the digital world actually comes into our reality. They’re predicting another $40 to $45 million internationally, which could bring the total opening weekend to as much as $95 million worldwide! I can’t wait to see how it does.

Lubin also mentioned banks are cautiously poking around the “settlement layers.” You can just *feel* the excitement from the finance bros, can’t you? 😴

Sorry Pokémon Fans, But Legends: Z-A Doesn’t Need to Be an Ongoing Game

Many game company leaders are increasingly interested in “live service” games – games designed to keep players engaged for a long time rather than offering a finite experience. These games frequently add new features and rewards to encourage players to return regularly, even after completing the main story. While this approach works well for some games, it’s not a good fit for Nintendo, and they should reconsider their strategy before it’s too late.

Web3: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Not Screwing Up the Internet Again

by

And now, standing at the precipice of web3 like a confused penguin at the edge of a very tall diving board, humanity was about to attempt something either brilliant or catastrophically stupid – history would be the judge. This new paradigm promised decentralization, transparency, and user-centricity, which sounded suspiciously like the promises made by the last three internet revolutions that brought us influencer culture and NFTs of cartoon apes.
