I’ve worked at bad companies that were successful, and I’ve worked at good companies that were successful. The latter show that this kind of thing is unnecessary, unprofessional, and counterproductive. And frankly, it’s professionally incompetent. When your subordinates respect you, you get happier employees and…

I see. Guess I’ve been fortunate. My work mice are Logitech and I love them. The MX revolution was my favorite mouse of all time. Started double clicking after ~6 years of use. Then finally stopped charging.

I picked this up on sale, and I was really pleasantly surprised. I’m a really harsh critic, but I found to my surprise that there was a lot to like here, and actually quite a lot of innovation on some fronts. It was a real blast to play with a friend. Maybe it sucks a lot more alone.

And that’s why I like them. :)

Damn that sucks. Madcatz um... wasn’t the best for a long time, but they revolutionized the home arcade stick when they finally released a stick that, prior to that, you could only really get by going custom. I always respected them for that, and a few other, products.

One of the wisest things I ever heard was in a move preview that I no longer remember what movie it was for.

Sometimes the possible reward is literally not living on the street. I’ve been there.

Last time I looked into it, their mice really were top of the line. I’ve had mine for like six years I think. Maybe the industry’s shifted since then.

Why is it ridiculous to care about whether the people in charge of companies treat human beings like shit?

I think you did a fine job. You can’t please everyone. And, hey, some people will hate you for no reason at all no matter who you are! :)

Sometimes you need something that is technically food, and a Subway sandwich wins out over a gas station hot dog or a cup of ramen noodles. :(

Interesting. I have never seen a Subway that serves a shake. What part of the country?

Bravo.

Please don’t get my hopes up that there might be some kind of Berserk news. :(

It’s bound to be super interesting. Japan takes an extremely dim view of copying artwork, at least in the manga and animation industries. Like, almost too dim.

No Disco Elysium, eh?
History’s Greatest Monster.

I like Monster. But I also can’t help but think that narratively speaking, it’s kind of overrated, for one simple reason: The plot continually relies on coincidence to patch the holes in itself. There must be twenty times where plot threads wouldn’t connect in this show if not for coincidence — if not more. It’s lazy…

We’ll be right near Dotonbori. Will definitely check both out, thanks!

Hey, I’m pretty sure I know that exact spot. IIRC I bought a pair of Inari statuettes a little ways down that street on the left. T- 4 months to going back, though we’ll be spending more time in Osaka this time.

Saying I’d buy the game out of spite is a joke, but yes, most of the reaction I’ve seen around this has struck me as quite childish.
