I like how you complained about potentially finding something of interest in this article but not being able to immediately have it

Closed Gold Mine:

Goddamn artists insisting on being compensated for their work. Someone should really put them in their place.

Jim Sterling had a few good videos recently discussing this, and I tend to agree with his view: no corporation will ever choose not to make ALL THE MONEY. It’s just how they view the world - their CEOs are literally afraid they’ll be fired if shareholders suspect for even a moment that they’re not trying to make ALL…

You had me at “Toby Fox-made soundtrack”

The reaper one is designed the same way so its fair for everyone. If you’re feeling really adventurous pressing right on the D-pad also presses his crotch.

“On the tail end of a controversy surrounding its publisher, Blizzard.“

Routing power to forward barrier, indeed.

I get you had to review the game for your job, but did you really have to buy the controller to and give Blizzard even more money in light of the Hong Kong fiasco? 

I like it and kinda want, but also, fuck Blizzard. No more money from me, unless they get their shit straight.

Eh, I kinda just expected a little more from kotaku, reading the room doesn’t seem too hard at this point 

Gamers: *rise up*

Maybe now isn’t the best time to be supporting blizzard for a product that’s virtually the same as another product but with a fresh coat of paint and an even fresher coat of bowing to the Chinese overlords.

Ooooh not quite what I wanted to hear haha. Luckily I have my rental coming in a few days so I can try it and see before deciding to buy it or not. 

Can’t wait to have Witcher 3 on the go. It’s going to make peak season at my work bearable. 

Of course he doubled down. Cook’s a CEO like the rest of them. And always has been. I don’t think anyone thought differently. If the laws were slightly different in the US he’d be handing over the keys to iOS and iPhones without a blip of hesitation because it would allow him to keep his profit margin going.…

Yeah, that’s a pretty common line in authoritarian regimes. It’s not one of the worst cliches, but I’ve definitely seen “this app/group/person targeted law enforcement/officials” quite a few times.

according to the German Socialists, deliverance lies in the very success of Capitalism—by giving it rope enough it will hang itself.

Cook won’t do anything that hurts his Chinese supply chain. China is key to Apple’s fat profit margins, so it’s not surprising that Cook will bend right over for whatever the Chinese government asks for.

Fuck China, Fuck Apple, Fuck Tim Cook, and Fuck any other person or organization that bends knee to despotic regimes in pursuit of money. Also RIP Splinter.
