I just don't trust tencent. They are to China like Facebook is to America in terms of casting large nets for data gathering. I agree Hasbro should let dnd go to a better care taker, but if it's Tencent I don't know if I'd be able to trust any official dnd software.

Luckily, dnd is well established as a physical medium, so the impact wouldn't be too big, but the principal still stands

China buying up everything

That's a good stopping point. I would like to see Children of Dune on screen too, but beyond that I think it would be difficult to successfully translate the themes of the rest of the books onto screen for a broad audience like he's managed to do with the first one.

Discipline

EDIT: I wasn't trying to insult anyone with a one word reply, but OP was describing discipline, "to train or develop by instruction and exercise especially in self-control"

Motivation is nice, but the biggest difference between a published author and an unpublished one is that the published author sat down and wrote something.

This is a great real life example of discipline. The published author has disciplined themselves to sit down and write, even when they don't feel motivated to.

Don't remake it like FF7. Keep the isometric view, add quality of life features, optimize the grind for modern audience, update graphics, add voice actors if desired.

Not every thing needs to be remade to look like modern Final Fantasy. I love the sprite age of FF games and think there's a good opportunity here.

I've been binging on For All Mankind and it's been a great reminder of how difficult space exploration actually is and how quickly things can go wrong.

The fact that they accomplished their goal of pinpoint landing within 10 meters of their target should be the lede.

I bet people in the industry are amazed by this accomplishment.

Wtf is up with the proliferation of "slams" in social media headlines? Hell, the article in question doesn't even say "slams", it says "condemns".

It'll be a far cry from the 700,000 one guy is estimating (guessing).

I'm only following this story to see how hard it falls flat. I'm guessing between 50-100 cars total.

I think OP was asking about young kids who are still learning to pronounce words correctly.
