The Lit Bitch

If dating apps feel random, it’s often because you’re not tracking what’s actually happening. A tiny bit of measurement turns “hope” into strategy—and strategy reduces burnout.

This works across top dating websites and apps because the funnel is basically the same: views → likes → matches → conversations → dates.

It has become common to see literary works adapted into video games, arguably more so in recent years as the gaming industry’s ecosystem has expanded. Developers need content, intellectual property and stories to base their games on. It’s a hook, if you will, providing both a platform for the video game to be built on, as well as something eye-catching to attract crossover fans. 

Of course, not every book is suitable for an adaption into a video game. You are not likely to see Marcel Proust’s seven-volume masterwork À La Recherche du Temps Perdu (In Search of Lost Time) adapted into a video game anytime soon.

Casinos rarely feel like places designed for losing, because glowing screens and frequent wins create a steady sense of progress. Many players leave sessions remembering excitement rather than expense, yet long-term results usually reveal a quieter pattern.

People keep asking why casino players lose money because everyday experience often contradicts financial outcomes. A single night may feel successful, while longer records show steady decline.

This article explains why people lose money in casinos through math and perception, showing why gamblers lose money long term even when wins appear often.

It might seem strange to talk about it today, but there was a time when playing the Super Bowl was no big deal. In the 1960s through to the 1980s, the Halftime Show was effectively the domain of university marching bands, with the odd entertainer, such as George Burns and Chubby Checker, making an appearance. It was always fine, part of the Americana on offer, but the ‘real’ Halftime Show only became a thing in the 1990s. 

Technically, the New Kids on the Block performance in 1991 (Super Bowl XXV) was the first time the gig went to a pop act, or at least one that was currently trending. And it was, unfortunately, one of the worst. Even if you have a bit of nostalgia for NKOTB, the Disneyfied performance that featured sing-alongs with kids was a bit weird. It often ranks near the bottom of Super Bowl performance lists.
