If you still play the game then you’re not boycotting shit

I’d love to know how she got locked into a NDA for a game she didn’t work on.

I mean, the moment the first trailer opened with Bruce Wayne saying ‘if you’re hearing this message, then I’m dead’ it was screamingly obvious that he wasn’t dead

If anything, I’m amazed at how *infrequent* these leaks are.  For example, the fact that the winner of, say, Survivor doesn’t leak every single season is amazing to me.

Online ordering can really put stress on a restaurant simply because the people ordering have no sense of how busy the restaurant is. If you walk into a restaurant and it’s totally packed with a line out the door, then you know going in that you’re going to be waiting a while to get your food. Online ordering carries…

Wow, that would be quite the controversy if it turned out an NBC show was sneaking promotional content into one of its shows. Now let’s all watch the Office episode with an entire subplot about Kevin playing with a Staples paper shredder.

“Someone here” seems to think women are helpless weaklings who meekly hand over $269,000 just because a man yelled at them. This woman, in particular, strikes me as being tough as nails and utterly unafraid of a fight.

So?  Tell him to fuck off.  They’re in a hallway (one that’s almost certainly filled with cameras), not a dark alley.  He’s an angry gambler, not a mugger.  He’s pissed off, not holding her at gunpoint.  Since when do gamblers just give back a pot because the guy who lost is mad about it?

I’m inclined to say that Lew just made a batshit play, had a gut feeling, a hunch, whatever, and it paid off.  Except... she paid back the money?  What the hell???  Why would you do that if everything was on the up and up?  Why would you do that under ANY circumstances, frankly.  That’s the part I can’t get past. …

This is welcome news.  Once (and this was years ago, I’ll admit) I actually went so far as to call Netflix customer service asking if there was a way to turn it off and was told no.

I hate autoplay so, so much. JUST GIVE US THE OPTION TO TURN IT OFF. THAT’S ALL I ASK

And even a bad episode can still have a quality cutaway or two. A bad Simpsons episode is just lukewarm and sad.

We still watch every episode of both Simpsons and Family Guy and let me tell you, 2020's Family Guy is a million billion times funnier than 2020's Simpsons - and that’s not me heaping praise on Family Guy.

Are we sure that the feature shuts off negative commentary?  It could also be cutting off critically important commentary.

But that doesn’t explain why YouTube can’t draw an audience for livestreams. YouTube is one of the most popular sites on the internet - Heck, it might be THE most popular site in the HISTORY of the internet. Every single Twitch viewer visits YouTube, probably on a daily basis. Yet YT’s gaming livestreams draw like 10%…

It baffles me that YouTube can’t pull the same viewership numbers as Twitch, but it just plain doesn’t.  Some of the biggest streamers in the world tried to switch, and most came crawling back.

Nobody said it wouldn’t have an effect - we said they were trying to turn a planned Christmas vacation into a ‘strike’ for clout. I still think that’s what it was, sorry. And nobody was proven ‘wrong’, because this Christmas ‘strike’ never even happened.   Twitch likely would have changed their gambling policies -…

An NDA is a pretty big ethical difference. You’re entering a written agreement that you will be given privileged information in exchange for not revealing it. It’s effectively fraud.

They’re not talking about a boycott starting Black Friday and running through the holiday season. They’re talking about striking the week OF Christmas, when the shopping is done and the holiday sales boom is mostly over.  Coincidentally, also the time of year when a streamer is most likely to want to take a couple of…

It reminds me of the old radio stunt where a morning show would get ‘suspended’ over some on-air prank then go on vacation for a week.
