  • Exactly. This is the result of human interference, AI inherently doesn’t have this level of censorship built in, they have to be censored after the fact. Like imagine a Lemmy admin went nuts and started censoring everything on their instance and your response is all fediverse is bad despite having the ability to host it yourself without that admin control (like AI).

    AI definitely has issues but don’t make it a scapegoat when we should be calling out there people who are actively working in nefarious ways.


  • Empty screenings are not unusual. I’ve been to a lot of movies where I’m the only one in there.

    In 2013 it was around $8. So for a $4044 take your looking at about 505 tickets sold. It’s likely they probably got about 80-90% of this on the Friday and Saturday which is about 18-20 seats per theater per night for the opening.

    All that said, yea the numbers are low but it’s not entirely on the movie itself, this is the effect of marketing and availability. We contrast this with something like 50 Shades of Grey which is lower rotten tomatoes and lower IMDB but pulled in about a half billion because they marketed the hell out of it.


















  • Not sure which collection you’re playing but there’s basically two types of Castlevania games. There’s the ones modeled after the first game, the Richter style games. A linear platformer, many have frustrating controls. I generally hate these ones. Then there’s the ones that spawned from Symphony of the Night that gave the Vania in the Metroidvania genre games. These rock and most of them are generally pretty good.
