Whoo boy, it’s this poster again. People who disagree with Frickineh’s assessment should go through the OP post history and some of the replies. Though this will get you branded a “stalker” by the OP. It’s the extended family now? Last time they were on c/all it was a cop ex husband. That and the cat being “shot” saga, ya know, despite it looking nothing like a GSW. Still got a chunk of change in donations though.
Yeah as much as I dislike the individual mentioned the news article has an overwhelming Texas flavour to it. I can almost bet the writer or officers statement to the writer lead to the “pair of lesbians” assumption.
You know, I had this really odd thought a couple months ago. That Israel kept fucking up in continuation with how they have been. To the point that US had to play world police again and invade Israel to enforce a dmz around Palestine. Much to the “excuse me, fucking what?” of the entire Arabic world. This headline is in no way aligning with said odd thought but here we are.
That could be it but text certainly doesn’t help, since it’s difficult to convey and interpret tone. It’s a widely acknowledged issue with text based communication. I think the correction plus the to the point structure of the correction might have been it. Even just prepending a padding statements like FWIW are the social lubricant needed to ease the tone into friendly/neutral territory. That’s just my opinion, if that communication style works for you that’s fine too.
Given your other reply I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re being genuine. Curt, rudely brief, emphasis on the rude. There are only a multitude of ways to correct someone politely; especially if the correction changes practically nothing about the original comment. An easy example is “hey just so you know…etc”.
Also, I think if you’re going to reply with a correction an attempt should ideally be made to actually engage the comment rather than just driving by with a list of corrections. Also, a personal preference, avoid the list. You’re not my employer or my lecturer and those are one of the few people I’m enthusiastic to receive an unsolicited list of corrections from. Tone doesn’t travel great over text so it did come off a bit catty. Certainly wasn’t the worst I’ve been spoken to on the internet so it’s whatever.
Yeah and then you read on a sizeable site that your fathers murderer wants to “support and empower minority inmates at all cost”. Guess marginalised civilians don’t count. What a joke of an article.
Nah fuck this dickhead. How anyone can read the prattle of this guy and not be sickened by the hypocrisy is beyond me.
My principle is to support and empower marginalized inmates at all costs so none will be victims of genocide and none will become extinct.
Said the bloke, who went on a robbing spree and murdered two people. Murdering one man unnecessarily (even his accomplice thought this) and then failing to kill another; leaving him permanently blind in both eyes. Bet he was super concerned about their rights before it impacted his life right?
Fuck his opinion on anything. He may be right that prisoner deserve basic rights and not to be abused in prison but I have zero interest in hearing about it from a murder, especially one so utterly tone deaf to write like that.
Lmao wat. How the fuck does a company making gaming peripherals rack up a $70 million dollar debt? Pretty rough though, the CEO who ran it for 25 years got stood down over it so maybe he got complacent.
It is for national security reasons. One of the perpetrators over stayed a student visa by a year. That individual also appeared in a promotional video with a visa providing company which the university stated it has no affiliation with. Student visa are conditional and requirements must be met or you will be deported. This is common in many countries.
The article emphasises this idea hence why the people accused of state sanctioned murder are having their visa/background scrutinised.
From what I read it outsold forspoken and got around $6 million in the first month? That’s small change to a billion dollar publisher. Especially when you can close a bunch of studios(probably claim some losses for tax reasons like WB with catwoman) and reshuffle. Doesn’t need the individual studio to do poorly in this instance I’d guess. Just didn’t make the selection for “who do you want to keep going forward”.
Because these corporations presumably think they’ll buy a talented studio, get it to make something its isn’t used to making, force a bunch of shit into it for monetisation and/or launch early in order to keep schedule. All this to keep investors/management happy. Then when the combination of the aforementioned (repeatedly) blows up in their face; usually by pissing off customers, they lose money. Finally you start layoffs and rehires if needed because you’re running into money problems.
They couldn’t care less about the talent. It isn’t rare for a lot of the talent to bail when these studio get bought up. Especially since it feels like you’re just going to be crunched the second you get the first job post acquisition. Found this while checking this assumption, a bunch of them left early for Arkane specifically.
I always viewed it companies like EA take a gamble. Either the investment pulls off the unlikely, convoluted shit you ask and makes you money or you take it out back and try with another studio.
I think I largely agree with your broader point. The analogy I go to music. The difference is between drawing your largest possible audience within a niche versus trying to reach the largest possible audience with whatever has worked before. Very few people are actually creating or using them creatively. Most are just recreating or sharing what appeals to them.
Just because they want to be the first one to say it
Or rather because they want to be the first one to take part in the comedy ritual this time.
Not a fan of memes or jokes in titles/general for semi serious publications. Not entirely because srsbusinessonly but more clarity in communication. Leave the excessive meme usage for the science communicators in order draw the groans that sustain their life essence.
