Kinda surprised they didn’t try to get into the Destiny/Division/Anthem, mmo-lite loot shooter (whatever we call that genre). The basics are there: lots of guns, different classes. Not disappointed, since those games aren’t for me. Just surprised.

I could be way off here, but it’s weird to think that the only guy who may have escaped that was Bill Gates of all people. I know back in the day he was pretty cutthroat and would get angry, but it seems like the work he’s done with his and his wife’s foundation, and the fact that he doesn’t seem to shoot his mouth…

It’s possible that his sudden wealth and increased isolation has been the largest contribution to his cognitive decline.

Let this be a warning. Don’t EVER - even as a joke - put a fedora on your head. It will instantly shrink your brain by a magnitude of ten and transform you into an insufferable duckweed. Also, you’ll look like an idiot wearing a stupid ugly hat.

As he spiraled downward, he gave at least one interview talking about how the money made him feel completely alienated from society at large.

On the other hand, the Gates, when confronted with that problem, decided to cure malaria instead of turning into the absolute worst sort of person.

It’s weird, because he always seemed like a pretty normal guy back in the alpha days. Then one day he just... snapped and started posting absolutely wild rants on Twitter. I wanna say it was around the time he made the news for outbidding Jay Z on that giant mansion.

Yeaaaaaah, it’s definitely a marketing prerogative to not be associated with Notch’s rhetoric. or risk alienating people who aren’t big fans of dickery.

I gather he was called a conspiracy theorist there to be lawyer friendly, so I’ll just go out and say it; he’s a billionaire loner Nazi

Meanwhile Notch has become a conspiracy theorist

I never thought that Minecraft being bought out by a multi-billion dollar corporation would end up being a good thing.

As much as I love this, I feel like it’s insulting Donkey Kong. I’m pretty sure even a gorilla can spell “hamburgers”.

I disagree with the “step back” comment. I thought Black Armory was kind of sleazy. Gave you maybe an hour of new content that was locked behind a completely pointless grind of “run around and kill these specific enemies because we need this to take far longer than it is” and that was really annoying. Plus to eget to…

In this case I think the CEO should have a more detailed explanation as to why these layoffs have to happen.

In Paris, though, they don’t have Tetris. So it’s called “Royale with Cheese”. 

People with car insurance also get into crashes, but that’s kind of why you wanted the insurance in the first place. Unions are the same.

This is precisely what I mean, yeah. Unions are a tool to get workers a seat at the table, not a magic wand to make everyone rich.

Last year, Gizmodo Media Group editorial had layoffs. But because we’re unionized, we were able to get a seat at the table to ensure that we were all kept informed, and we convinced our parent company Univision to instead offer buyouts, allowing those who wanted to leave the company to leave by choice (with 4 months…

“Why even try to fight back when there’s a chance you’ll lose?” is not an argument that has ever served anyone well.

Everyone needs to unionize. Everyone. Every single person needs to be in a union.
