Yes, a lot of blame is on the repubs, since, well, Trump repealed Obama’s train safety measures regarding breaks—though we still don’t know how much of a role that played here. But Biden could have pushed to get it reinstated, and Biden rolled over on the Union that was calling for safety improvements and better sick…

Wait.....whoa. Rental car companies can purchase Whoops Our Software Sucks, Sorry You Got Tased, Choked Out, and Cuffed insurance? There’s insurance for wrongful arrests? I had no idea.

If only there was a way of knowing that this boring company project was a scam.

That’s not quite the correct take here—there’s more nuance than that.

Nintendo has never licensed events in the past, and has taken a hands off approach to competitive events until a year ago when they partnered with Panda Global and started hosting officially licensed competitions through that partnership.

Nintendo seemed willing to work with Smash World Tour initially. In the time…

IP law is so irreparably broken. People are going to these events to see your game specifically, it’s not like a movie; they are going to see the high-level actions of the players.

Nintendo once again showing that they have no idea how their community actually functions.

Another one of these articles means it’s time for all the weirdos to log on and explain how Nintendo “has every right to protect their IP and who even cares about this old game anyway?”

Pretty safe to assume the cop’s body camera is turned OFF. And since they have been proven to delete evidence...

You also have to recognize most police agencies already have body worn cameras and squad cameras which presumably keep everyone accountable in traffic stops.

These are the people who run lights and speed without consideration. I assure you that they are just as dangerous as the asshats in Altimas.

What’s the over-under on this being a NYPD employee or relative of one?

Another worthless cease and desist. Trademark doesn’t work this way. Ikea is not competing in the videogame space.

“None of us are that stupid.”

““None of us are that stupid.””

oooh, slow down there for a moment, hon.

I don’t understand what Platinum was expecting to do, here. Jennifer Hale is SAG, which means they generally get paid $1,000 an hour while non-union actors get $250/hr (probably less, given that $4k was their second offer).

So.... they threw Hellena Taylor under the bus to roughly pay someone else four times as much? I…

“We held auditions to cast the new voice of Bayonetta and offered the role to Jennifer Hale, whom we felt was a good match for the character,”

There’s no way they paid Hale 4k, she’s union and extremely experienced, she could basically name her own price. Kamiya in his typical asshole fashion is just saying Taylor is lying without any facts. This is Platinum lowballing the fuck out of Taylor expecting to get away with it because she’s non union and hoping…

Some things to take away from this a little bit extra:

What were the terms of that offer? If you don’t know the exact terms you can’t use it as a sign of goodwill or whatever you want. You should know that regardless of what happened here that, generally and it’s safe to say GENERALLY, those offers are bullshit.
