Bootleg Betamax? Are you using hyperbole or did you live somewhere where you couldn’t get DVDs or VCDs?

Just a reminder:

I’m not really sure if this little teaser is going to be much like the show, but if it is, I agree that the tone, and Faye’s characterization, is somewhat off from what I’d expect.

Okay. I’ll bite. Where are sexism and homophobia promoted in the book? 

Like the fact that Paul is not a messiah and that his empire was just as fucked up as the one that came before

Employees not getting credit for all the work they do—It’s almost like every other job in the world.

This should be correct. 

Streaming, despite any on-paper appearances, isn’t an easy job. You’re not just “playing games for fun.” You’re on camera eight, nine, twelve hours a day.

So I’ll start by saying that I’m not a person of color, however I’m a tattoo’d person that occasionally shops at Walmart looking like I just got done playing an 80s punk show and I was once treated similarly at a K-Mart.

I don’t keep track of Disney much but it seems to that it’s an odd interpretation simply because I though Disney has already released a couple of of movies recently (past year or so) with predominately (or all?) Asian/Asian-American casts. Maybe I’m wrong?

I haven’t played the game for a long time, but it used to be the case that most vintage tournaments (non-DCI/Wizards; but those were rare to begin with) allowed cards on the restricted list to be used as proxies. Is that still the case?

Yeah. This really is a case of “who?”

Being entitled to the free access of media is arguably one of the oldest human rights’ initiatives in history and, perhaps ironically, one of the principles behind the creation of the internet itself.

By these standards, anyone you meet in Japan would be pretty much the same. We aren’t talking about a diverse society of critical thinkers. It’s one of the most conservative and rigid in the world.

This comment didn’t age well. :)

For example, during one mission, the game “only” forces you and your evil squaddies to destroy a certain number of civilian escape ships, giving you the option to ignore the rest. But you still kill civilians either way. Other times your Imperial squadmates might voice concern over how terrible everyone’s acting…

“...with the board responding that it would take responsibility, though it’s unclear what that would mean.”

A 25% on an ethics audit survey is actually the low end for something like this but it’s somewhat odd that they would lump experience/whiteness together. It’d be nice to see their methodology and who conducted the audit. If it was internal, that’s not very promising.

That’s not how this works. These corporations grab up critical thinkers in order to control them; not learn from them.

I’m not sure why everyone fails to mention one of the the biggest reason this behavior exists: return policies. It makes the scalping business completely risk free.
