Easy solution, replace the help desk with LLMs too and make it impossible to reach a human.

Stupid question: if you think it’s a good idea but don’t know when the price will go up, you just buy stock and wait. But if you think it’s a bad idea and don’t know when the price will go down, is there any long-term alternative to shorting that doesn’t require betting on the date?

Speaking of irrelevant

Come on, it’s not like anybody can just create a unique selfie of a kid. They’d have to be artists or something. /s

I’m not boycotting them because they’re shitty. I’m boycotting in solidarity with their union.

If they cave to the union and make this right, then I won’t care how nice they are. Them being forced to be nice matters a lot more.

A company with a union that has been tested is better than one with no union. I have no faith that other companies would be better unless forced.

This is literally the only way I’ll ever buy another Rockstar game.

I’ll at least hold them accountable, by being that jerk on the internet who reminds people of union busting every time someone mentions Rockstar or one of their games.

Why yes I am still boycotting Sony over that time they booby trapped their CDs. Businesses might not go under when they do amazingly evil stuff, but they’re dead to me.

It’s a good way to show us that they’re hardened criminals.

Patient gamers always win

It’s extremely difficult for me to pay $80 for a game already!

I’m not sure I could even enjoy it anymore - the satire on the radio will hit different after this. And my non-gamer friends would just see a scab.

Same thing as return to office. It’s not even about the money, it’s about power and control.

The most profitable decision for MS is to leave the golden goose alone.

IIRC seasons as we know them started with D2C with no new content. Endgame items had become commonplace, and it was hard for beginners to trade. Everybody missed what it was like when the game first started.

Of course, some parts can never be repeated. I was following the story and got legit surprised by Duriel.

This actually makes me more likely to buy more Diablos.

I get that - I’ve got two myself - but Roblox is literally dangerous for them!

What do they think you’re going to inevitably cave on next, letting the kids ride around without seat belts? Jfc just tell the kid no.

I got a console when I switched to Linux. This has been a problem for decades now. So I’ve got one corporate game box that works with my friends, and one computer that I actually control.

The Cult of Consumption

There’s still plenty of people who don’t watch TV.

ITT: gamers are basically forced to buy this game.

I was surprised it was so low! Doesn’t Australia have a lot of open sunny area?

Edit: it’s not low, they’re #1 per capita

Maybe we can find some kid who’s really good at it, and doesn’t even know it’s real!

I just assumed game companies had been doing that since the 1800’s.

As an optimist, I expect more expansions like Gay Tony and for them to simply make fun of microtransactions on the radio.

I just plugged a keyboard into the Xbox.

Akchually, NFTs don’t even burn CPU cycles to enforce ownership. At best it’s all created and sold by a central party, and at worst the whole thing runs on his laptop.

No, that’s a church in every sense of the word. That is a normal thing for Christian Churches to do.

Never forget when they put a rootkit on their CDs that automatically installed malware.

Nope, and now I figure it might as well just wait a little.

Morrowind

Waiting for Skywind to come out

Honestly I just read Ubisoft and pass on it. They’ve been too hostile to customers for too long for me to consider.

“Actually this disc is defective. I’d like to exchange it for a new one.”

This trick will be useful if you ever go back to 1999.

I would have enjoyed it a lot more if they had kept making good games!

Who gives more fucks - the man who gives a fuck, or the man who gives a fuck about the giving of fucks?

I’m warning potential readers about the scam you’re promoting. If you don’t care, then stop.

If a cryptocurrency involves trusting a central foundation at any point, it’s a scam. It’s an unnecessary security hole, and one would be damn foolish to invest in it just because the hole remains unused.
