This is a great time to support people like Olan Rogers who have worked for all the majors and are bucking the system. He funded his latest animated series pilot through kickstarter and is getting funding for the rest of the episodes now. Imagine that: paying creative people in advance and bypassing the corporate bullshit. He's even left kickstarter behind now to take payments directly. https://godspeedseries.com/

Also with mentioning when Alan Tudyk did the same with Con Man, a comedy tribute to the Firefly fandom that was fan-financed for 2 seasons.

Helluva Boss doing quite well too.

You may not hear about shows like these because promotion is just not worth throwing any money at... The following is already grassroots and the powers that be make it tough to compete against their ads. But there is quality stuff being made by directly funding film makers. There just needs to be more ways of finding funds for up and coming talent.

(And there needs to be a better place to release non network shows than YouTube, but that's a whole other can of worms)

Battle beyond the stars did it 43 years ago, so why not?

Safe to say a lot of the new Disney Star wars stuff is basically seven samurai in space

But hey, the original 7 were technically in space... We're all in space Morty, literally everything is in space!

Sure, but be aware it's a popular line from The Matrix series specifically about predetermination!

What will really bake your noodle is you just did.

You're right. Steam link exists for Linux but doesn't connect to the new VR app. I agree valve likely has every intention of tapping this market soon though

Steam just made a big step forward with steam link, but previously the headset manufacturers were releasing Windows only link software.

Also there are now open source solutions like ALVR.... But like most FOSS it can require some know how.

(Or maybe he meant Meta is getting all his data anyways, why be picky)

You can't prove what's on the other side of the moon!

Well played ChatGPT, but your bias towards subjugating the human race makes this post inauthentic.

Uncle Larry is a pig, he can't use a phone!

"just out of sight" was an exaggeration. They could be on the other end of the property to release a pig and its going to head towards the feed and the people.... Just like a hungry dog would. Also, blinds usually face a single direction.

They are bred with domestic pigs so they have less survival instinct and the clients can find them (i.e. they don't avoid blinds and feeders). One-off clients would give your ranch bad reviews if they didn't see anything all weekend. Meanwhile regular hunters understand truly wild animals can elude you for days. If a visiting group has come up dry all weekend they might even release a sacrificial domestic pig (just out of sight) that will then walk right towards the clients, innocently arranging it's own death.

If you're looking at the Senate it's actually the other way around in the last decade. With the house and other offices it's much harder to say who does it more. I don't think it's any sort of conspiracy or playbook, just something that makes the news and sticks in people's memory when it happens... It's a betrayal after all.
