Fair! The og was about Square "shooting themselves" in the foot over releasing FFXIII on the 360. It's one of my favs

It's a 15 year old copypasta lol

Their move would be to astroturf sentiment that these are actually the corporate 1% we hate.

Sony just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want PlayStation+, nor will they purchase any of Sony's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sony has alienated an entire market with this move. Sony, publicly apologize and cancel your 30% price hike for PS+ or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I hate OOT!

This is insufferable

It's only Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Do not expect, nor hope for, literally anything else.

Nope

It's not paywalled.

Is home assistant a piece of software? Do you have a link, it's not a very searchable name

Can I just send them pictures of my asshole and be done with it?

$9.99 for a month of gamepass PC, or $10.99 for console (ultimate you're paying for cloud access or online play, so it's a disingenuous comparison) You can play starfield for a month, then buy it for 20% off through gamepass, so $55.99. $55.99+10.99 = $66.98.

So you basically get a $11 month-long trial, then $2 off the full price if you decide you like it enough to keep.

A downvote isn't "I don't think this should be here". It's just "I don't like this", don't agree, thing it's bad/wrong, whatever. Up/downvote systems work under the process of the wisdom of the crowd, and as a result, works under the assumption that while the ways in which people use these tools and the reasons may be different, having a simply up/downvote system means they'll average out into something more useful. It doesn't work all the time of course, but it does work generally.

People just found it not unfunny or distasteful. This post is getting downvoted because it comes off as whiney and annoying.

Blockchain is a tool for scammers used for scamming, and has almost exclusively been used for such.

1 day old now, so pretty new. Sales data doesn't release on August 1st, it needs to be compiled from its various sources, sorted, and composited together.

No, this is already solved without scam shit tied in.

I believe that I've put forward my own desire for understanding, as well as my own perspective to try and be understood. If you do not wish to achieve understanding, or to help me understand you, then there's no discussion to be had. All you're doing is hurling insults.

What the actual hell? I hate this so much. Google won't touch right-wing extremist content, yet they'll just poof your bookmarks? Bullshit.

No, he's saying that the product is ineffective at what it aims to do.
