That’s ok, Twitter should finish imploding under the weight of all the nazis (including the one at the top) later this year.

Wow. Fuck this kid.

People don’t seem to get that the purpose of these agencies isn’t to just stop monopolies from happening, it’s also to prevent monopolies from happening. Yeah, cloud gaming isn’t a big thing right now, but as time marches on, everything that can is going digital, eventually it’s going to be big, that’s inevitable.

“Natural” monopolies are still bad. Microsoft is already so large it should be broken up into a software company, a cloud service company and a gaming company.

The main problem is and remains that if you are really good at something, and that something rewards you with fame, power, and riches (or even just their appearance!) many people immediately assume those skills transfer over to literally everything.

How fun it is to watch a man who has no better idea than dumping obscene amounts of money to make his PC game launcher somewhat competitive lecture us about meritocracies.

I think most people wouldn’t give a fuck if they weren’t also trying to play the “this is totally apolitical” card. People don’t like being bullshitted.

I mean, you play as a cop that goes into a building without announcing themselves, and immediately pulls a gun on the first person they see, and begins shooting. This rendered in police-cam footage often associated with police murdering people without due cause.

I think a lot of peoples stomach churns whenever video game violence starts looking too realistic. Last of us was controversial for how it portrayed in game violence against humans.

I cut boot leather out of my diet.

Well, I mean he’s still Frank Miller, but yeah, in 2018 he apologised for all the Islamophobia and the weird-ass comments he made about Occupy Wall Street (which basically boiled down to more Islamophobia), saying he was going through a very dark period in his life, and wasn’t thinking clearly. He certainly seemed…

A lot of folks feel like this is partially a move from Rowling herself to eliminate the main cast of the movies as the “faces” of the franchise because all three of them (Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson) have all come forth to say that they support trans rights and disagree with Rowling in her stance on trans people.

Also the fact that his whole agenda for doing it seems to be clout among other racist meme-makers?

The movies aren’t even old enough that a remake of any kind is justified. This is purely WB and Rowling realizing that their attempts to milk this franchise with new material won’t work because Rowling is not a good enough writer and to big of an egoist to let actual talented writers take over for her when it comes to…

“describing trans rights as “a very online conversation” is so wildly off base”

She said, spurring a very online conversation.

“It’s really hard to do this well so why bother trying” is a pretty shit mindset to take, dude.

Just as with Hogwarts Legacy, Harry Potter is too big a brand and unfortunately, most of them don’t care enough about that kind of stuff to sacrifice their being a fan. They may as well just say, “screw it, nobody cares, so why even try that much to pretend?”.

Exactly that. “This isn’t the forum to discuss this... because if I do it might cut into my profit margin.” I’m so sick of hearing about Harry Potter and I’m a children’s librarian.

guess i’ll repeat what i always do;

The difference is that Lovecraft is dead and his works are out of copyright. No one’s enriching him by engaging with his stories.
