Jacobsen says he was a bit disappointed to learn that his daughter was right about his beloved Chilkat robe. But he and his wife Gretchen now no longer thought of the robe as theirs. Bruce Jacobsen asked the curators at the Burke Museum for suggestions of institutions that would do the Chilkat robe justice. They told him about the Sealaska Heritage Institute in Juneau.
When Jacobsen emailed, SHI Executive Director Rosita Worl couldn't believe the offer. "I was stunned. I was shocked. I was in awe. And I was so grateful to the Jacobsen family.”
previously if you wanted to make some kind of video media you'd need to clear some rather high barriers with distribution companies
but, when you did like, everything was agreed to, you have contracts, you have rules
nowadays you can distrubute nearly anything you make to anyone with internet access for free, but there are no rules and it's subject to the whims of whoever's in charge of your platform
and you can't really just go self-distribute, I mean you can but the distribution channel remains just as important now as it did then
big money always wins, and now they're winning even harder
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

One of those HGTV/TLC/Whatever shows is interested in using the bar for one of those rennovation shows
I hope they do it, we need it bad.

I still think mp3 is my favorite Rockstar story if only because it kind of attacked the character of max from the first games while still respecting it. Its weird to describe, but at the end of the game I felt exactly like the main character did.
I really enjoyed mp3 but I never finished it. Also I was in a real weird hazy place in life at the time so I can't tell if I was relating to it on a superficial level and if I'd feel the same way on a revisit.

Its pretty amazing the guy bought an historical actual piece. Sounds like neither he or the person who sold it to him had any idea how old it was.
I can just see the grimaced look on his face when they confirmed it had tremendous monetary value. In my fiction as he is standing there in the ceremony handing it to the museum someone says
"It could have easily paid for all of your daughters college tuition and more. Thank you!"
when he relented in the face of his daughter's continued... gentle encouragement, he emailed another museum, who confirmed it as a true artifact of great value

In all three games, Max can't save anyone no matter how hard he tries. That's unique and Max may be the only character in all video gaming to have such rotten noir luck.
Well the real issue is max struggles to save himself. Through 3 games he throws himself head long into death hoping to basically end up dead. Spoilers for the end of MP3.
It's why I like the sitting on the beach ending to mp3, he's basically relaxing having finally come to terms with who he is and what he is. He's not healed, but he doesn't hate himself as much.
You can criticize malfunctioning capitalism without hitching yourselves to that legacy
Well, if you're interested in a serious discussion of this it seems obvious that the implementation of the Communism was very poorly executed and resulted in something closer to a fascist state.
Which means one could argue in favor of the politics while recognizing the history, similar to how someone could recognize the trend towards monopolies and inequality that inadequately regulated capitalism leads to that we are experiencing now.
I just feel like
By an accident of fate it took in Russia / China and not Germany, right? IIRC Marx thought it would spring from Capitalism.
And we've decided it's too far to meme about Nazism. Why? Because enough Jews survived to tell? Memes are okay about Communism because they were so effective in their killing that we can't as accurately quantify it as we can Nazism, and because those people didn't emigrate here to escape in the numbers the Jews did? Because there is no Elie Wiesel or Anne Frank of Communist purges assigned as school reading to American kids?
But i see communism memes and my skin crawls because it's like a hairsbreadth away from a bunch of Rare Pepes, and I cannot figure out the dissonance between people hating Nazi meme culture but embracing Communist meme culture.
bit late but it seems obvious
one advocates, in it's theory, the genocide or at the very least forced deportation of various minorities and groups and has a fundamentally racist outlook on humanity. Hitler was a bad man.
the other doesn't. Marx and Engels weren't bad men.

This is untrue. Max can save someone, which bucks the noir theme a bit.

Yeah I was super glad they got the voice from the first two games. It would have been easy to switch him to keifer sutherland... But they didn't and I appreciate it.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Why did anyone think they ever were? They're a business, not a charity
Because certain people think businesses are the end all be all of what's good for us. Or believe the hype put out by "moral" companies.
Trust the big company, they will do the right thing etc.
Now a lot of us know that this isn't true. But there are a lot of folks who still think that many businesses aren't trying to actively fuck them as hard as possible.
I tend to put more stock in companies that charge money for their services and offerings, because they are at least up front with their profit mechanism.
Google and Facebook are my least trusted companies by a fucking mile. As much as I like Apple's offerings and I trust they aren't doing fuckery with my data, I don't think they have my best interests at heart or anything - they are trying to make a buck.

Youtube is practically a monopoly for many forms of streaming. Monopolies abusing their massive market power is pretty much what you expect them to do.
MP3 also had a really cool section I haven't scene mirrored anywhere else where they played a song that adjusted the music to how far you made it in the section. Effectively trying to sound track a video game shooting to actually match up with gameplay. It was rather awesome.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
I'm not sure it was ever people thinking youtube was benevolent
but like, it democratized things somewhat and opened access to people who would never be able to produce the content they do now
so I think people just thought of it as good because it had some good effects

All companies sell your shit. Some just mask it more than others.
I disagree with this standard in which all companies are bad. Some engage in much worse practices than others and lumping them all together is just intellectually lazy.
Some companies use hyper-targeted demographics of who you are, what you like, and what you believe, and have such lax policies on tracking ad buys that they allow access to these demographics to foreign political adversaries.
Some companies offer pretty much all their flagship services for free because it lets them gather said demographics.
Some companies engage in flagrantly illegal activity, ala Enron, etc.
Some are massively incompetent, like Equifax.

all of the youtubers that were making their fortunes of youtube moved to twitch anyways
most of them admit they make way more now on twitch, and they can make more involved content
though I guess you have to police yourself more if you're a toxic gamer/nazi (I GOTTA RIDE THIS MEME OKAY)
Twitch is still mostly live streaming gaming and recordings of previously live streamed stuff, right? The non-gaming video creators or the non-live streaming video game creators are still reliant on Youtube to get their eyeballs on their videos.

This is why that Boston Antifa account got shut down so quickly and people can still be racists pretty much all they want on twitter.

People absolutely think corporations have their best interests at heart. I mean, look at Dan Ryckert, the taco bell wedding man.
