Australian media is focusing on not just the typical vapid “influencer” but other largish accounts that were hacked. An endangered bird rescue and sanctuary that got most of its donations from its Insta. An ecotourism business just managing to rebuild from Covid shutdowns. People’s whose home businesses kind of rely…

Its laughable to believe Microsoft wants anything to do with Bobby Kotick or honestly the vast majority of staff at Activision.

“Obviously what I did is wrong,” JiDion said, “but how am I supposed to do better the next time if I can never get a next time?”

It’s worth noting that in the gaming industry, tons of positions are terminated when a studio/publisher is between games. Most of those are contracted positions, but it happens fairly often to full time employees as well. And likewise, many positions only open up when a developer is past a certain point in a game’s…

I totally get not using their position to enrich them in the private sector.

The law was undoubtedly created for that purpose, and then as with most laws meant to place limits, only the “little people” have it applied to them while those the law was meant to target find other ways.

An investigation was launched due to an anonymous tip that “there may be a firefighter who might be moonlighting on YouTube

This law seems made for like politicians to keep them from becoming too much of a celebrity or profit off the fame they get as a public official. So it’s kinda dumb that it applies to this firefighter imo. 

Image is a publisher focused on creator owned work though, founded to resolve that problem.

Ok, this is the second time that this kind of accusation has been made about Kirkman, and a suspiciously similar one, at that. Something’s clearly up, there. I really hope that the people working for him at Skybound have really carefully read their contracts. 

I’m in a similar position with a friend who’s got, you know, two toddlers in the house; as such, he tends to be able to play in short, really aggressive bursts... for a week or so, about once every four or five months.

It’s actually just a wired headset that gets a total of 300 hrs of life before it must be replaced.

Well, as long as I have to have PS+ to go online, I’m glad it gives me a game every so often (I maybe want 1-2 each year, of the ones offered).

Add Kelly Marie Tran to the “wasted” section, and the list is pretty much complete.

There’s a certain mindset among some people that they live in an 80's crime movie where roving gangs and criminals battle it out under orange skies full of pollution and the only thing that can keep the world safe is one (white) man with a gun who plays by his own rules and isn’t soft on crime.

anyone that goes on about personal freedoms has never been challenged in his life and is an entitled jackass.

I guarantee that if these vaccines weren’t being given out for free these same people would be pissed.

No. This take is right in line with the notion that all women have to support each other. If any male congressman was wearing novelty ties or bizarrely casual, loud outfits to vote bills into law we would be making fun of them. We made fun of Tucker Carlson’s bowties and trump’s suits. Sinema is here for all of the…

1) news coverage about the fashion and hairstyles of Boris Johnson and Donald Trump are numerous. If these three authors didn’t know that, which I doubt, then they’ve got bigger problems. Susan Collins herself mocked a GOP House Member for being physically unattractive and dressing like a slob, which was true. 

He’s saving that for the next Joe Rogan appearance.
