I thought the begrudging tone would make it obvious but I was joking. so was hbg by the way; he clearly said it because it would be ridiculous, not because it would be smart. it’s fucking dumb.

if hbg had anything to do with it I have no choice but to retract my objection

we finally found a slogan.

“care for a shart in bed before you sleep?”

we can call them sharts. it satisfies all the criteria.

it’s like someone looked at the word tweet and thought “how can i make this infinitely worse?”… i hope it never catches on. I don’t know why people want their posts and announcements to sound like farts.

after careful consideration of the management decisions that brought us here, we concluded that 1600 layoffs of low level employees is the solution. those who stay will crunch harder for the same pay to make up for any lost labor so we can keep churning out slop that definitely has nothing to do with our crisis.

this is great. i thought they kept making slop because it’s giving them a return but I’m glad people are catching on.

wow didn’t even know that. they certainly are hiding it well.

can you educate me a bit about what’s wrong with that?

oh. going through their profile certainly suggests that way. it’s weird to call that “diverse IP”… but weird is pretty on brand for that crowd i guess.

what do you mean by diverse IP? Ubisoft has notoriously done the exact opposite by eliminating every distinguishing characteristic of their games and converging all of their designs into assassin’s creed with another name. Ubisoft has one of the least diverse portfolio of any AAA company, and that’s saying something.

the only good (and diverse) things that come out of Ubisoft have been from a small team inside that somehow missed all the rituals to sell their souls to Asmodeus so they keep making bangers like Rayman and the recent Prince metroidvania.

Hades - The Painful Way

and the sequel that references it: Hades II - The Silver Sisters

obviously fake. in reality no one asks and the conversation just starts with the voice message

playing it on my desktop. the game is gorgeous.

assuming you’re genuine, you’re wrong. it is Nazi talk. maybe you’re too young and wasn’t aware of anything back then, or you were in a coma… i guess there are scenarios in which you wouldn’t know this.

words don’t have inherent meaning. they have meaning in context. even the n-word wouldn’t be offensive without the history that comes with it.

Nazi talk is not “i am a Nazi and i hate Jews and so many other minorities”. well i guess that would be too, but usually it’s more coded. sometimes literally.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren_(mythology)

there are different depictions of sirens. most commonly they are depicted as creatures similar to harpies. the mermaid form is second most common i think.

i think proton is getting shittified as well but you should make a post listing all these alternatives for different services, rather than peppering them in the comments.

internet explorer, yahoo mail, myspace, icq… things change. unfortunately it’s mostly due to a huge company having the resources to promote their product to convince people to migrate but still. people can leave old giants.

have I said anywhere that Firefox should cease to exist or Mozilla shouldn’t do security patches or whatever because i thought we were talking about having a good browser experience.
