The gambling/random number generators for players in packs in 2K is brutal. They barely update the game year over year as is, but then add in that you have a less than 1% chance of getting the top players through packs. It sucks so bad.
Often, these gamblers told us, video games with gambling features drew them in.
The three I heard most often: NBA 2K (with its gacha-esque packs), Fortnite (through wagering) and CS:GO (with its skins market).
Many gambling streamers got famous with these games, especially 2K.

Ive been messing with having this on/off. For some playlists, I don't mind the feature, except for the fact that it causes some songs to weirdly skip/pause for a brief second, which drives me up an f'n wall.
Having said that, having this "song transition" thing for an album is a big nope from me.

new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

I always thought “scromiting” was hurling on your nards. Guess I was mistaken.
It was a pain worse than childbirth, said a TikTok mom as she described bouts of uncontrollable vomiting after marijuana use.

Assuming she signed a multi-book deal, I can't wait for the follow up to this where Olivia Nuzzi does, in fact, visit the WWE Hall of Fame in Saudi Arabia.
Can someone who has read Nuzzi's book let me know if this is actually a thing in it? Or is this one of those "JD Vance bangs couches" things? x.com/bryancurtis/...

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

This reminds me. I’m going to the next AEW PPV in December. Might have to brace my wife that I’ll be gone for a fortnight when all is said and done.
The crowd reactions have reached full "when do we have to leave to catch the train" mode for the fans from NYC and Philly. #AEWFullGear

I have a masters degree in journalism. I realized that wouldn’t pay shit, regardless of how noble and good a path it would have been.
Now I’m a VP at a PR agency and frankly don’t known what the hell I’m doing most days.

I have a hard time listening to a lot of Scott’s music. But the Owl John album still hits in ways I can’t explain. Lots of good memories associated with it. And some of my favorite songs he’s written.
