Last weekend we did a major system move and migration of one of our ticketing systems. As part of the move we also updated the frankly way out of date software and migrated it to the latest level. After months of testing we were prepared to move the tool over and upgrade it with zero change to how end users worked…

The problem a lot of people seem to be unable to fully grasp is that an unfaithful adaptation isn’t necessarily a bad one. The Witcher Netflix series while not faithful to the source material is a great series. The same is true for the video game series.

John Carpenter’s The Thing is completely unfaithful to the source…

Welp, there goes any sympathy I had.

Yeah I’m trying to ignore the “I was just asking for a fair, living wage” part of that statement because while it’s true all VA’s deserve to be paid more, she wasn’t exactly going to be living off instant noodles after those sessions. 

And that’s why you should just cut your loses, decide to never work with them again and walk away without stirring the drama pot

VAs are increasingly talking about the shit pay they get, I think it’s good for her to continue to add to the conversation. 

corporate malfeseance should always be called out.  this isnt “stirring the drama pot”, its about workers’ rights!

If you feel you wasted 210 hours on the game, those hours weren’t enjoyable in the first place.

I honestly hate these takes. “see how nice it sounds when he has a REAL Italian accent like in the video games!” when the video games accent was racist as fuck and really shouldn’t be getting a pass at this point.

We’ve heard literally:
“what is this place?” and “Mushroom Kingdom here we come.”

That’s 9 words out of a…

I have zero desire to start noticing that, I like being able to enjoy things.

Hmmm, I don’t know, if they do introduce Gandalf this early, it would really go against the source material… Gandalf and the Istari arrive in the world very late in the Silmarillion.

Just gonna put this out there, but... Why does everyone need to be fluid? We are going in the opposite direction now and trying to convince people that they should be fluid in their attraction and I don’t think that’s the right way to go.

Boys can be pretty and gorgeous too :)

There's nothing wrong with fluid notions of attraction/sexual orientation, but some people are just hard wired certain ways. Just like you can't choose to be gay/bi/pan/trans, you can't choose to be straight either. The rules of attraction don't work the same between different people and that has to be respected. It…

As Discordian said, social conditioning—or, perhaps, indoctrination is the better word. I assume much of this nonsense is America-centered; if so, then what Wargreymon said factors into it.

THis was super interesting thanks for explaining all this :)

No, they donated to MSF.  If you reversed a charitable donation to a good cause because some asshat did something stupid for attention, you’d be an even bigger asshat.

They raised fucking six million dollars this year, no one gives a shit about you and the other five crybaby edge lords who don’t like them because you’re butthurt that they actually enforce “don’t be an asshole.”

Mad because GDQ banned someome for using a homophobic slur and because they try to be inclusive.

1) France has much harsher language laws than bill 101 and bill 96. To wit, unlike Québec, there is no way to obtain legal documents in english, or any other language than French.
