Here’s a helpful reminder to never settle for less than you’re worth and to always stand up and fight for the respect that you deserve from your employers

Good for Disney - one drop in what is becoming a rainstorm of condemnation and boycott for Russia’s unprovoked war. I guess those with weak minds can find some of pootin’s propaganda talking points as to why Ukraine *did* provoke a has-been superpower to send 150,000(ish) soldiers and their assorted weaponry to invade…

Thanks for the info!

Basically. Gizmodo and a bunch of its sister sites went on strike

The bigger money issue is that the international sanctions are going to make doing business in Russia a lot more difficult (and difficult = expensive). Makes sense that a lot of companies would skip the trouble.

Starters have always been cute. What the heck is this article even?

All starter Pokémon have been cute, why is it only a problem now? This seems like a really weird hill to die on.

Putin’s well versed in torrents, just look at all of those missiles.

Haven’t they always been cute? I picked Charmander as my starter purely because he was the cutest one. He was a terrible starter for Gen 1.

You know literally nothing about that project or how much work has to be done

Yeah, this feels pretty clickbaity, especially since the headline reads like a reaction to some news and the article image is a big Zelda screenshot.

You don’t have to. I already did.

They go back even further than that!

This is dumb. There are still uber complicated Transformer toys, and they started making the simplistic ones back in the 80s. Both have existed for decades, and both still do.

You do realize this is almost certainly an accessibility thing, so that those kids (and others) who do not possess the dexterity to actually manipulate the regular Transformers can still enjoy them.

It’s not the first “handful of steps” Transformer to come out and it won’t be the last. They’ve been doing this since G1, with the minibots. (Then there’s the Jumpstarters, Battlechargers, and Autorollers that came later, which had autotransformations to them)

We’ve still got both Generations toylines (Studio Series…
