For EA to go from the loot box, microtransaction dumpster fire that initially was Star Wars Battlefront II to a no microtransaction "for the hard-core game fans" Star Wars: Squadrons is quite the transformational triumph. Well done EA. Well done polygon.com/reviews/2020/1…

Polygon: "Star Wars: Squadrons is the total package. If all you have at your disposal is a console, a decent TV, and a working controller, you’re going to have a wonderful time ... And, if you happen to be able to afford VR, you may never want to take that headset off again."

I copy, Gold leader! Wow, the giddiness online right now is intense. May be just all the 40-year old+ Star Wars nerds. This game is going to sell a lot of Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets

Lol at FinTwit bashing David Tepper this morning. Tepper's default settings are long and way super net long, so when he is shorting the market it's a big deal barrons.com/articles/stock…

David Tepper on CNBC: "People think too much." "It's going to be difficult for things to go up right now." Fed and ECB "are going to keep rates high for a while."

The Tepper subtweets on here are ridiculous. Here are just a couple examples: 1. Tepper had one of the all time great macro calls buying banks following the financial crisis. 2. He told everyone through Jim Cramer he was getting nervous about market on COVID right before meltdown

A few hours since the new Twitter Blue has gone live: I’ve been followed by an Onlyfans blue check mark (follow spam), the Verified mentions are now filled with meme stock accounts, and my feed is filled with stuff like this

The silly thing is more than 1,600 people RT-ed the fake blue check mark Nintendo tweet on purpose. Blue check marks for all are not ideal for brand advertisers' safety

This reads like a parody, but it’s on the Sequoia website. What a joke sequoiacap.com/article/sam-ba…

Sounds like Sequoia partners were mesmerized from beginning & had blinders on. If I found out a founder was playing a videogame at same time while raising money, I would say that’s a red flag that he didn’t care about investors capital - def not something to get excited about

Nah, I'm good.

Ladies and gentlemen, the new blue checkmark!

@StephenKing

The big question is, however, will @StephenKing get an "official" label?

Can we be clear now in ALL our writeups when using the word "verification" for Twitter Blue stories, the readers know it is NOT identity verification? The word itself is super misleading probably on purpose. Thanks. Big pet peeve.
