Dan Olsen on Folding Ideas talked about Fortnite and a bunch of the dark patterns that they do in regular mode until you pay:

He called it “manufactured discontent”.

I think right-wing talk radio has been going for quite a while as well.

Okay, maybe sub-genre is the proper phrase I was thinking of. Thanks!

The headline isn’t telling a full story

Some of these include free fruit and beverages, fitness coaches in the gym, a sabbatical after four years with the company, and the grounding of the Intel Air Shuttle that flies between California, Arizona, and Oregon.

When Terry Crews came out about his sexual assault. So many men publicly derided him. I felt so bad for Terry.

For the record, fifty cent, Vlad from VladTV, DL Hughley were those that made fun of Terry and some even insinuated he was possibly gay.

I remember working in the London UK office and we curse non-stop over there it’s great. Whenever our colleagues from SF would visit they would always be surprised how much we swear. I’d see them do the turnaround like, ‘what just happened?’.

It’s a cult. They have people denying COVID ever existed. Heartily rejecting vaccines.

There’s just too much to list but it only ever makes sense if you take whatever he’s doing as right and readjust everyone around him to work does it ever make sense.

The fact that this election is even close is absolutely insane to me.

lol, it’s alright, it’s cold communication on the Internet. I also genuinely thank you for both replies!

I mean I think I understand the argument for your distinction. I don’t play either games, I just watched VFX artists reaction and saw Snoop Dogg in it so I was wondering why it’s such a big deal with Tencent. As he does seem to “dance” in CoD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhPvXhXoUM.

I may take slight issue with your last statement. To be clear, I’m not trying to have a “dishonest discussion”, I genuinely don’t understand the distinction and there isn’t really an article or anything here for me to clarify.

Thanks for your reply on it though it does clarify a bit more to me.

Isn’t he already in Call of Duty?

You’re only saying that because it’s true.

I mean did Usher, Beyonce or Taylor Swift start up an illegal lottery for government kickbacks?

I’m not sure but I don’t think they started Super PACs either.

The entire post of yours is dishonest but the Usher thing is especially stupid as well. Usher endorsed Kamala, not the other way around 🤡 .

The Beatles are undoubtedly a huge part of music history and a huge foundational piece of rock and roll. That being said, listen to what you like and like what you like.

I have trouble watching a lot of classic movies and find them boring. I’d like to think that’s fine!

I’m gonna guess the hard drive and RAM are still not upgradeable by us?

For those like me that had never seen this before: https://www.vogue.com/article/paris-hilton-debunks-stop-being-poor-shirt

This apparently never happened.

The joke only works if you understand that it’s not true and that no one can obviously believe it.

If it’s done where you and everyone thinks it’s true, you’re at a Klan rally or probably at the comedy mothership or something.

Cat was the person’s name, come on now.

I don’t think any console that did releases annually would be worth buying and I think you have a solid point.

That being said, it is slightly different insofar as console games are not implicitly available across generations. What I mean is PS4 games are playable on PS5 but WiiU aren’t on Switch or what-have-you.

I think most people are crossing over PC/laptop updates with game consoles and the walls are being broken down a bit.

I think Steam doesn’t want to muddy the waters with “Steam Verified” and everything just yet. They’re eventually going to with an upcoming refresh of the system, but it’s easier to get devs and consumers on the same page with Steam Deck verified and the software and such if they don’t iterate every year.

What do I know though, I’m an idiot.
