These people just can’t handle anything, just anything, not being exactly as they like it, and if it isn’t, it has to be some sort of conspiracy.

“Disney had more or less trained audiences to expect big, hot Pixar content at home,” explained Brandon Katz, an entertainment industry strategist at Parrot Analytics.

I agree with the point but not necessarily the reason why.

Pixar movies used to be “can’t miss”. They were a cut above everything else, and incredibly unique. Now they’re just.. Disney Pixar. They’ve watered down so much of what made them great before.

And of course Disney is cutting staff due to lack of box office success without taking an inward look that their imprinting on the company might have something to do with its downfall.

The best part was not feeling like I should be doing something else.

I felt like sitting my lazy ass on the couch watching movies and eating popcorn was exactly where I was supposed to be for once.

The original Kratos was basically one big long revenge story. Almost all of it justified and satisfying, but basically wiping out the Greek Pantheon was his ultimate goal.

His actions were reckless and fury driven, but often went over the top, both in violence and in actions.

My favourite example is from GoW: Ragnarok, when certain characters are reflecting on Kratos’ past, and how the one story of him killing the Sisters of Fate must truly be myth, then he corrects them saying it was true and how they deserved it. The third character then shines a present light on the fact that he did that in the past and says, “that’s the most dangerous and irresponsible thing I’ve ever heard.”

I think that sums up Greek Kratos in a nutshell.

Microsoft is a wonderful success story that being one of the first, and being parasitic, anti-competitive and anti-consumer, all while failing upwards by having some of the buggiest production releases out there on increasingly bloated software, is all that really counts to Wall Street.

And most of the world is too afraid to split off from it because it’s what they know.

How? Human error.

Why? Microsoft is just that kind of company and always has been. Their t’s aren’t crossed and i’s aren’t dotted, and people buy their shit because they’re used to it.

The only thing these companies care about is money. These fines need to have teeth to actually make them change.

Not to mention that we’ve been living in a business and economic environment where Fortune 500 companies have been getting it easy both ways. They’re able to work with impunity AND they lobby the hell out of governments to leave them alone.

This money could actually start to swing stuff towards the consumer again, rather than this new world where regular people seem to be fighting against the rich, corporations, and governments all at the same time. Although it could be said that those three entities are one and the same.

And it’s a million times better for people trying to troubleshoot.

1 forum post can solve many problems, rather than having to have each person ask in a support chat that’s not searchable.

Fuck everyone else, you got yours, right?

FOH

He’s out of line, but he’s right.

I hate the shit slinging, but it’s about time PP got some his way, as he’s about as clean as the bottom of a portapotty. He’s a leech, he’s ineffectual and he’s not going to make anyone’s lives better, if anything the opposite.

He also mentions in the article that also due to this and their nature they’re very flighty, and have not become return customers, while scaring away regulars.

It’s about the post not about the enjoyment.

I know I moved off the Xbox version because it was so far behind. Heard how difficult Microsoft makes it to upload and push updates too.

Guess you just have to be an incredible success of a video game to actually get attention from them to work with you.

Unfortunately that’s a very subjective and naive point of view

There’s no way they’re this stupid, right?

You can piss off the rich folks, but most regular people won’t care most of the time, especially since people don’t give a flying fuck about their data privacy anyway, but this is the point where you really put a target on your back.

Stick to casinos, finance and market makers, the general public won’t bat an eye. Go after kids at a non profit? Well good luck, no one is even pretending to be on your side anymore.

Corporations aren’t your friends, they aren’t going to give you any preferential treatment that they aren’t seeing the better side of.

Capital flight is also not a thing, it’s a bogeyman set up by conservatives to avoid raising taxes.

Businesses also won’t leave. Their remarkable treatment in Canada will go down to slightly less remarkable. They moan and groan and set up a whole ad campaign about how this is going to hurt the consumer but that means it’s working. And if you mean “small business” there are so so so many way ways to create exceptions or offer grants to Canadians starting or operating small businesses, where the target is larger oligopolies and conglomerates.

We allowed and continue to allow the rich and the corporations to vacuum up our money at increasing rates while more people become marginalized.

In a post-scarcity world on the brink of climate ruin, how have we let them let us think this is an ok normal?
