“after he uploaded footage of a Breath of the Wild multiplayer mod he commissioned and released to the public”

The guy should have made an anonymous leak on the usual forums. Also, Fuck gamestop.

Off-the-record means off-the-record. Mike probably got his supervisor in hot water too now.

Yeah that’s the real lesson here. If he took even basic precautions re: his identity, he’d be fine.

If you’re going to leak your employers confidential information, maybe at least try to cover your tracks, even just a little.

Screw GameStop for paying and treating their employees like shit but like...don’t violate company policies and leak shit should be really simple, basic, easy “How to not get fired 101" shit. Especially if you leak things through accounts that are in any way, shape, or form traceable back to you. Especially if it’s…

“Have Star Wars fans overtaken Star Trek fans as the worst, most annoying fanbase in all of media?”

She’s going to finally take the test she’s been studying for

Purple just means “Bad Mother fucker”

Turns out when you actively attempt to subvert and weaken government for years, your ability to take on a large corporation is limited.

Honestly Rowling has done a pretty good job of evening the reputations of the four houses, if you ask me. Back in the day if you claimed to be a Slytherin, people might assume you were bigoted, or at least too self-centered to recognize oppression. But nowadays you can pretty reasonably assume that of adults who still…

What really turned me around on my views of Slytherin was the sequel book/play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which did take place in a post-Voldemort world. I was introduced to my two favorite characters of the series who were both sorted into Slytherin and it showed that kids from other houses can be just as…

It’s not just pulled from their play book, but it was pulled off without cutting corners. As a registered independent, one thing that keeps popping up is the GOP skipping parts of the protocol to ram things through. The “inadequate notice” part seems particularly false, as there were two, publicly advertised and…

That’s insulting to Lex Luthor. He never tried to bring back the Confederacy.

If ever a grouping needed to recreate the “are we the bad guys?” meme/sketch, it’s the modern Republican party. Don’t especially like Disney’s corporate manoeuvres over the last few decades, but DeSantis by accounts really does come across like a total piece of shít. Not even an especially clever or successful PoS,…

Yeah, putting aside the “cheering for mega-corps” angle, Desantis was literally just trying to retaliate because his fascist policies weren’t liked, and install stooges on these boards for the sole purpose of blackmailing Disney into altering its content by holding hostage the things that council controlled. That’s *li…

If this goes to court, Monster will lose, because cases like this depend entirely on reasonable confusion. Nobody buying something called Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals would reasonably expect that it had anything to do with Monster Energy drinks. If the game title actually had the words Monster Energy in it, then…

I don't think this is fair to Promised Neverland. The manga gets pretty radical in its back half. Not necessarily socialist, but definitely embracing a radical veganism meets Murray Bookchinian social ecological approach to freedom and solidarity. 

Terrorism is a tactic. It's fairly common in a lot of movements.
