Great flagfucking Jesus, man.

Our thoughts and prayers need to go to the victims here. We shouldn’t rush to make laws at this time. We can’t use this crisis to write legislation to single out law-abiding citizens. The guy was just a normal neighbor, no one would have thought he could have done it. It’s just an isolated incident, we can’t use it to…

That looks like the horror story of a non-unionized industry, probably not what you intended to say.

“I have it bad so I don’t care if other people have it bad” is not a productive attitude.

Sounds like some people need a Union.

I know of no other industry where 100 hour weeks are the norm and the burnout rate is less than 5 years.

...uh huh.

hey asshat, how about no one should burn themselves out to work in any part of the tech industry? this isn’t the goddamn burnout olympics; if it’s true that 75 hour work weeks are normal in the IT industry then they need to get their fucking shit together the same as the gaming industry.

Rockstar management described the situation differently to Kotaku, saying that overtime was not mandatory but was part of a system in which the overtime was requested and scheduled by the bosses, but that employees could say no to it

This seems to be about the right read.

“You don’t have to do this, but you’re more or less fucking your career here if you don’t.”

I don’t work in the games industry—never have—but from the outside looking in, I’m interpreting this whole kerfuffle as being similar to the Greek life system in college.

You don’t have to…

Not to mention “Expect to be the first chucked out on the rubbish heap when the inevitable post-release downsizing happens”

As well as make yourself look better for progression

Look, I can’t get involved. I’ve got work to do. It’s not that I like the Empire; I hate it, but there’s nothing I can do about it right now... It’s all such a long way from here.

I feel like this all would have been a better premise for the sequel trilogy than what we’re getting.

It’s not believable though — who in 2018 would want to rescue the President?

Really? It definitely inspired or in the ballpark. It’s hard to deny the similarities. It can’t be coincidence

I disagree. I don’t think that Charlie Hunnam would make a good Idris Elba at all.

I’ve always said it's a movie that should never be remade. It's a perfect 80s time capsule of weirdness that shouldn't be fucked with. Carpenter not being remotely involved is also a huge reason to not see this out of protest

But that’s precisely why it all feels small now. Everybody knows everybody. In WWII, every soldier knew OF General Patton and General MacArthur. But even the most celebrated of war heroes were known only because the Stars & Stripes trumpeted their names via a specially delivered newsletter directly to the troops…

With the DCEU, that’s good enough of a sell for me...
