Of course there’s fucking stock buy backs.

In other, completely unrelated news:

100%. I work for a fortune 500, and it is the same cycle every time. Our economy is dependent on the myth of unlimited growth. When you lay off all of these people, it frees up reporting cash for shareholders to see. Which means when they actually do have growth, they will need to re-hire anyways and have massive…

Give me more.  All of it.  More of it.

These are videogames. The point of this medium is not to efficiently get thru a plot, it’s to interact and play with things.

This is a pretty silly take. No one complains that a novelization has more content than a film. The difference here is its really only as long as you choose to make it.

This. FF7 was the first game I put over 100 hours in getting everything before finishing. I remember golden Choco breeding taking a massive amount of time  and probably have a couple hours alone in watching Bahamut Zero’s animation

“never meant to be this long”?
I spent about countless hours in the original FF, doing all kinds of quests, grinding to lvl 99 before the final confrontation, trying to get every Materia possible, golden Chocobo breeding... the list was endless.
How can a remake be “too long”?
I mean - it is FF7, most people who buy…

What a weird takeaway.

His popularity is from people who are doing better than others to listen to how bad they have it.

Dude literally made his money selling common sense or other people’s advice in books to people with money trouble who are trying to get out of it. His popularity is from people who are doing better than others to listen to how bad they have it.

Straight, cisgendered folks who think that this has nothing to do with you: Please understand. These same folks will come for your birth control. They will come for your ability to hook up with randos. They will come for you.

I mean in WV their govenor is a former coal exec, and they vote GOP who consistently attack unions (other than police unions).  Their ancestors literally paid in blood for a lot of worker rights and to dismantle those company towns.  Meanwhile Musk and other billionaires are planning company towns for workers who will…

Wait, you think Fox hates Russia? You mean the same broadcaster who defended Trump buddying up to Putin, blackmailing a democratic country (Ukraine) with weapons intended to defend against Russia, and who constantly argue since the war started that we should just let Russia roll up Ukraine because who cares about them…

wow so much FOX-fuelled Russia-hatred in the comments.

Buying either of them funds scumbags...

When did this trend of hating on Hideo Kojima start? Sure the dude is a bit eccentric, but I’m not so sure I’d agree that he is “insufferably pretentious.” You might just be someone who doesn’t really like his games. The dude knows what he is. Is his exhaustion self-inflicted? Yes, most likely. But he also admittedly…

Why? People who supports fascists, scam artists, fraudsters, and con-artists are paving the way for more of the same, making the world a worse place.

Anyone acting like Musk isn’t visibly an incompetent egomaniac at this point is clearly just a troll trying to get their little squeeze of dopamine from negative attention.
