hi all,

for the past while i've been building a browser game for my friends and me, and somewhere along the way i got a bit obsessed with it. it's called The Gilded Ledger.

you start with 1000 dubloons and buy shares in companies like Dragonfire Mutual Assurance (they insure against dragon attacks), Hogsworth Royal Pig Futures, and a goblin courier service i would not trust with anything. prices move every minute. there are nine nations that go to war, make up, and make proclamations that may or may not mean anything for your shares. nobody tells you.

other stuff you can do:

• bless or curse a stock until a date you pick. the further ahead you dare to look, the stronger the spell. if

I got curious which champions Riot has been sleeping on, so I built a tracker using the skin release dates. The top of the list (as of today):

1. Kennen: 1,309 days (Astronaut Kennen)
2. Kled: 1,268 days (Kibble-Head Kled)
3. Udyr: 1,241 days (Inkshadow Udyr)
4. Shyvana: 1,136 days (Immortal Journey Shyvana)
5. Dr. Mundo: 1,108 days (Street Demons Dr. Mundo)
6. Rumble: 1,066 days (Cafe Cuties Rumble)
7. K'Sante: 1,052 days, though HEARTSTEEL "Live My Life" K'Sante is on the PBE now
8. Kassadin: 990 days
9. Riven: 975 days (she used to get one almost every year)
10. Graves: 946 days

Some fun ones: Mundo and Riven both used to get skins roughly yearly, so they're at around 3× their normal ga

His last skin was Astronaut Kennen, in February 2023. I got curious and built a tracker for every champion, and Kennen is #1 out of 173 for time since his last skin. We used to get one roughly every 398 days, so this wait is more than 3× longer than usual.

I’ve always found this to be some of the most bizarre rhetoric on here. Is this a zoomer thing? Is everyone so inundated by slop twitter journalism that only reports on garbage like this daily that they’ve resorted to actually caring about release earnings themselves?

Why do we care? Do you work at the company making the movie? Do you have shares there? Does earning a few million more or less make any difference whatsoever?

Money does not and has never equated to artistical merit. So why bring it up? A movie can either be good or not good in the eye of the beholder. What does it matter if its profitable?

I’m so tired of this American capitalist brainrot infiltrating pop culture discour
