Real ads in games and movies are instant immersion breakers for me. Seeing al the product placement was one of the first things that told me Ralph Breaks the Internet was going to be bad, but it was hardly the last. But I wasn’t prepared for how bad it would get.

The only problem is that then ALL you see are Energizer Batteries and Verizon signs.

(I always thought this was odd because the batteries in this game run out in a matter of minutes. Seems like a bad way to advertise your product.)

As these ads were my single biggest complaint about the game, I am stoked. It actually ruined the immersion for me

Announcing a game is game news gamers are likely to be interested in, so it gets covered by game news outlets.

Even bulk classic LEGO come in around $0.05 to $0.08 per brick depending on the pack. Yes this is a micro build so there are a lot of smaller pieces.…

At this point, I guess I gotta tap out from Blizz’s games. It’s really unfortunate, because I love their stuff. I shrugged off the Hong Kong protest response with “No ethical consumption etc.” and “I’m just one person, so I guess whatever.” But at this point, it’s just like. What are you doing?

Sucks, because after a…

Corporations are Anti-Human. We need to be able to break up these corporations that abuse human rights and destroy the lives of their employees. We need to end legal bribery where corporations can give large payoffs to politicians. Fuck corporate America. Unionize.

90s anime was so amazing. The art, the moods. Man, take me back.
