They’re fighting back against a shitty move. Publishers need to know which lines to cross and which not to. Would you have wanted EA to have had no push-back from turning Battlefront 2 into a Pay-to-Win game with lootboxes? The majority of gamers didn’t want their product to be that way so they pushed back.

Fortunately tattoos on your palm aren’t exactly forever. You use that part of your body with such frequency that the tattoo, especially one with such fine line work, should become a smudge of its former self in no time. So it’s meaning will be lost over time. 

In Siberia, kerosene road burns you!

How old is this technology? It can’t be all that old, or else every 80s metal video ever made would have featured it somehow.

For what it’s worth, those burns in the switchyards (in the ABC tweet) are gas burners, not kerosene ropes. Actually quite nifty (and if you’re a particularly daredevilish drifter-type, you can heat up your can of beans on them).

They could just warm up the tracks by sticking their tongues on them

Alternate method for setting fire to railroad tracks:

EA apparently didn’t want to spend any of that wonderful revenue from microtransactions and loot boxes to adding more servers.

Amazon has a “Prime Household” system, so you and your husband can share a single Prime annual fee, while keeping separate his & her accounts.

Black Panther 100% deserves every one of those technical nominations, but Best Picture? Get the fuck out of here.

That release statement literally says nothing about the actual situation. It would have somehow been just as good as not saying anything at all.

Massive conglomerates trying to monopolize literally everything that gets posted on the internet and becomes moderately successful NEEDS to stop.

Fucking this. Massive conglomerates trying to monopolize literally everything that gets posted on the internet and becomes moderately successful NEEDS to stop.

“Hey, guys, you know that massive source of ad revenue we have? Burn that shit to the ground.”
