Exactly. With Apple products, there’s a definite sense that the company has decided there is a right way to use their products, and that it is constantly annoyed that customers refuse to comply.

VR porn aside (because... why?), this is the attitude that makes me not like Apple. They just fundamentally don’t think that the devices you buy are really yours. They still see them as extensions of their own marketing.

I am sure it will do well at the theaters as those characters are still popular. But I don’t think Disney will learn much from its success. And future Marvel films will not be guaranteed to bring in the results.

Can't wait for the 'Bad Apple, but it’s bacteria eating a literal bad apple' PhD thesis.

Apologies if I was quick to judgment, I didn’t think of it how you said it either when I posted.

Yeah; Twitch and Youtube aren’t really my style, I only stream on microorganisms.

I’ve often wished there was more Jewish representation in video games (other than BJ Blazkowicz, Johnny from GTA IV, and almost all of the Bioshock characters). Now I’m glad there isn’t!

When my wife, a Muslim, gave birth to my first child I texted a large group of friends and family to tell everyone the details. A former friend of mine decided to respond to the entire text chat “Did he come out with a bomb?”

She’s just not for us. No need to insult her or her success just because we’re not into it.

She’s pretty and seems attainable for teenage boys (at least early on).  But yeah, not sure how she made herself stand out so much from all the other pretty girl streamers.

because you care so much about Europeans, Irish, Italians and southerners

I don’t know what tool is being used here, but it looks like it was trained on icons from free-to-play mobile games.

These all read as exaggerated caricature to me.

Unofficially at certain game studios, there’s the TTP or “Time Till Penis” metric regarding user content. It’s going to happen, but how easy is it for them to do it will decide how much you need to moderate. heh.

This is called “shitty moderation.” When they concieved of this game and it’s ability to incorporate user-generated content, did they not pencil in “lots of moderators?” What is it with these game companies firing thousands of people and flushing good in-game Game Masters and other sorts of moderation to protect their…
