And considering that Alan Wake 2, IMO was actually pretty good,
that may be your (and game Journos) own bias, it looks like thought it is Remedy's fastest Selling Game (at least according to estimates), the last news about the topic is that it still didn't turn a profit.

translation to English by professional translators who also do books and TV scripts usually improves the writing quality of bad game writers
except that they aren't translators, they are localizers, and they proudly declare themselves as such. Jelly Donuts is their work's infancy. You may be interested in the current Unicorn Overlord drama brewing on X.

Your theory is that the pretty women in the google images for characters like M.J. in the recent Spiderman II or Alloy in the Horizon Forbidden West games are just fat with good fashion sense? How does that square with Stellar Blade?

who also mentions the points that immigrants tend to take jobs we citizens don’t want
the part not mentioned at that point is "with those wages", always find it disingenuous when economists et al treat the situation as if economic incentives doesn't exist for this specific situation and the only way to have your toilet unclogged or burgers in your McDonald is by bringing more immigration, which is how you keep wages stagnant.
The second critique is that his model assumes that there is perfect substitutability between natives and immigrants within each skill cell. There are many reasons that immigrants and natives might not be perfect substitutes even if they have the same level of skill and education—for example, language ability (Lewis 2013)
What I think they are missing in this excerpt, that the common man perfectly understands, is that they don't need to be perfect substitutes, they just need to be good enough. With languages as similar as english and spanish are is not all that difficult to understand each other, after all spanglish is a thing.
If the assumptions behind Borjas’s model are appropriate for immigrants, in this case, implying that within education-experience cells men and women are perfect substitutes
this is the Damore Memo all over again, and even in the same career path Peterson mentions that women are less likely to ask for a raise.
Scarcity of labor only drives up wages to the point a firm can afford.
Really sure what does it matter with respect to "While it’s possible for an influx of new labor to drive down wages for a short time or in a particular field without much of a barrier to entry"? the level of elasticity of wages isn't in contention here.
Remittances aren’t a major variable and also foreigners buy US products.
why aren't they a major variable?, and foreigners may buy US products too, but if part of their wage goes to Mexico they will buy less than natives.
Empowering China was not a problem in pure economic terms, it was a problem in geopolitical ones.
And we aren't living only in a economic world, but one with geopolitical considerations too.
the Rust Belt can still get fucked for not being a competitive place to run a factory. Whining about it and trying to use government intervention to prevent the outcomes of markets, instead of doing a good job of competing for new industries,
It was shortsighted and a perfect representation of everything wrong with the "Line goes up" Meme mentality that economists et al are so fond of. Now we have a hollowed up Rust belt, a Nuclear power hostile to every value you hold dear and Cartels in your backyard. All of this with far reaching consequences like the fentanyl and homeless crisis.
If you don’t let labor come to the US sufficient to keep up with hiring demands, you drive up the incentive to outsource production to where there is available labor.
the hollowing out of the rust belt proves this isn't true. Outsourcing is a product of dramatically cheaper labor costs outweighing transportation costs and import taxes.

While it’s possible for an influx of new labor to drive down wages for a short time or in a particular field without much of a barrier to entry, you’re just wrong, theoretically and empirically.
Do you have anything to back this?
Except, workers are also consumers. So they work to earn money and then spend that money, which creates a demand for other people to have jobs.
A country with a high population growth rate from fertility has a very similar labor economics situation with one having the same from immigration.
Does remittances factor in this hypothetical?
People get pissy over immigrants and over outsourcing, but ultimately it’s mostly just hating the necessary dynamism and creative destruction that makes the American economy so much better than any peer.
So line goes up Meme and to hell with the rust belt. Without taking into account that that was the reason that empowered China and made it the menace that it is today.

I am not officially warning you here, but this post was kind of low effort and you really have been sort of a one-note piano lately, enough that even people who broadly agree with you are getting annoyed.

I honestly don't understand how these commercials could possibly sell product, so I assume they are just pushing the agendas of the ad execs.
interesting that they gave her rosacea, or at least it is more pronounced in your link. At 3:21 she still looks like Nicado, at 3:23 not so much, so lighting may be a contributing factor to the imitation.
