I don’t see how it’s that different from people getting bullied for wearing generic brands of clothes or shoes. Luckily, I just didn’t give a shit as a kid about clothes brands. There’s always going to be “better than thou” peer pressure as a kid (and as an adult TBH), all that’s changed is what thing it’s focused on.

“In fact last night I installed Chiaki on my ROG Ally and streaming from my PS5 is flawless.”

And that’s exactly the problem with the Portal...handheld pcs and any android/ios device running an open-source app handles streaming better than the dedicated 1st party hardware Sony build specifically to do that one thing…

If people care about physical media, then they should BUY physical media. This isn’t some grand conspiracy by the media companies. They are simply phasing out physical releases because they aren’t profitable enough.

makes me wonder if this is connected to the snoop cereal issue as well. seems like walmart might be playing games.

I’m all for hating on YouTubers but this is common in Wal-Mart and other grocery stores. Vendors (which he likely can sell himself as as he owns the product) are authorized to go back and help to find their merch and pull it to sell. I used to do that all the time for multiple merchandising companies.

Helping people stock shelves, i.e. finding it and putting it out for them, is not “forcing” anyone to do anything. It is the exact opposite, i.e. doing their work for them so they aren’t compelled to do so because of their job.

Have you ever worked in a grocery store? You are supposed to periodically stock throughout the day, and especially if there are hott sales, products, or essentials. I frequently had to stock sale items and whatnot.

What the hell are you talking about? I have no dog in this fight, barely played the first game, don’t care about the movie one way or the other. But there is nothing, absolutely nothing in these TWO still pictures that would indicate the movie is bad or good. JFC.

Came to say exactly this - its two stills. As long as they aren’t just awful, which they aren’t (to me at least), then I am ready to see more whenever that comes. Not sure what one could have been expecting from a couple screenshots.

I also consider myself to be a Borderlands fan. These photos look about like what I was expecting. It’s not clear from the article why they disappointed you. The vibe of the solo shot is “Lilith has an attitude,” which we all knew. And the vibe of the group shot is, “There’s something in that hole.” They’re not the…

I have seen some twitter discourse about this and FUN FACT: either people get this movie, or they’re just cool with fascism and don’t realize that’s what they’ve been conned into understanding as a good way for the world to work.

Like almost 12 million people watch Yellowstone; 10 million people watch NCIS. Nine million people watch Ghosts, and even shows like Fire Country can pull 8.3 million.

“Isn’t the mere existence of this unique Official Xbox Podcast episode feeding into the problematic nature of console allegiances? Doesn’t it, at least implicitly, condone the behavior of those pushing the backlash by dignifying it with a response?”

What’s funny is that past the obvious, that she thinks that she should be allowed to be antisemitic and transphobic online as much as she wants and otherwise say whatever she pleases without her non-government employer being able to do dick about it (let’s get Roseanne in on this while we’re at it), is that she wasn’t…

I’m completely in support of this move; watching Musk find fresh, dumb ways to burn money is a newfound hobby of mine.

The invasion of Ukraine is an openly genocidical war. Usually the genocidal aspect of wars is understated, but Putin has been quite clear the Ukraine should not exist, that the Ukrainian identity is supposedly “made up” in a fake way different to all otter identities.

It’s disturbing and a pretty deliberate social engineering project by would-be authoritarian rulers. And they have enthralled half the USA. It took less than a decade for the far right to bring us to the brink of having a sham president who decided to ignore the results of an election. The last of our checks and…

Oh hey, it’s today’s reminder that fandom is inherently toxic.

Alright, who let Recoegnitions out of the grays?
