Personally, I’m happy when domestic violence victims are given money and resources to ensure a full and satisfying life away from their abuser, and I’m glad someone was able to do that for Siragusa. Even though Siragusa is already, by her own admission, making millions a year

Depending on how rich you are, it could literally be the same thing. If you have $5,000 in the bank, then giving someone $20 is the same as giving them $70,000 if you have $17,000,000 in the bank. Expenses are relative. As you go up the scale of wealth, money increasingly just becomes an amorphous pile of green paper…

I once gave a retro streamer $20 to help pay his cat’s vet bills. Pretty much the same thing.

This is the “Capitalism eats itself” phase of Late Stage Capitalism. Prices go up, wages go up, purchasing goes up, employment goes down, profits skyrocket, and a bunch of rich dudes in suits think the only way they can capitalize on this huge expectation of massive corporate profits and afford their third yacht is to…

i walked into one today, and the employee running the store had to put a sign on the door that he will close for 30minutes to get lunch.... Gamestop has him alone, in December... what a scummy place.

Judgments from foreign countries aren’t immediately enforceable or valid in a US court, they can be used as evidence if they’re from a judicial system that is known to be legitimate.

I don’t think (?) that foreign judgments have preclusive effect over here, and this verdict is not going to be thrown out because of a venue issue (I don’t think, although that quote from Depp’s attorney is pretty damning on this issue). But yes, that this case ever even got to a jury is patently absurd.  There is…

You’re so edgy

Looking profitable for Q1 is way more important than QA.

It’s also why so many companies fire people during Q4. The financial books suddenly have an increase of funds.

Sound to me you’re an idiot.

Sounds to me this is going to be a 3 waits game:

I honestly believe GameFreak gets away with it just because this is Pokemon. Because of course, who doesn’t love the idea of exploring the world and finding a Jigglypuff in the wild?

I think the main problem is that Pokemon stayed on the Gameboy/DS for so long and stuck to the same formula for so long that the devs at Game Freak had no incentive to really keep up with new developments and technology in the broader gaming world. Now they’re in a position where they’ve massively lagged behind the…

My wife plays the Nikki games and they have some of the most insane monetization I’ve ever seen. Basically most of the ‘special edition’ outfits can cost over a hundred dollars.

I’ll never understand you Nintendo fans. This is a company that actively hates you. They’re not just telling you they’re showing you. They’ve been showing you for minute now.

.... Nintendo, the company that literally hates its biggest fans.

This article is laughable. It reads like it was written by Jim Ryan himself. The hypocrisy and lack of self awareness just leaps off the page. What this “argument” basically boils down to is “I like Playstation and want to play all the games there. Microsoft exclusivity bad, Sony exclusivity good and natural”! That…

The goal is to grow the Game Pass sub base, which can be accessed on multiple devices. MS will happily take a hit on overall unit sales if they can entice even 5% of people who’d play on PlayStation to instead access Game Pass via PC, mobile device or streaming, and they know a big Bethesda SP RPG is the kind if…

In summary of the collective internet consciousness:

The company also points out that the last Elder Scrolls game was released in 2011
