I used to work at Walmart. For a long time I thought better pay would make the suffering worthwhile and for a while it did. But eventually the complete breakdown of management (salaried to be exact, I was an hourly supervisor) and processes due to an over focus on Online Grocery Pickup, made me even more miserable. I left for a more fulfilling job where, for a while, I was making less money (more per hour, but less due to not working a full year).

No amount of money would ever sway me to go back to retail, but if it was just a money issue, I may not have left.

I read this really wrong and thought Saints Row: The Third was getting an expansion.

To the Trump’s committing crimes is as natural as breathing, it may not be that easy.

The wizarding game upsets me. I grew up with that series and it is literally a game I would have loved to play as a kid, but I don’t want to support the TERF. Low-key hoping it comes to ps+ so I can get it without giving them money.

A child’s… game? Kids often at school or sleep overs will spread and test the rumor of summoning Bloody Mary. In a dark room, while looking at your reflection, you say “Bloody Mary,” three times.

The low light of the room and the human brain’s tendency to use short cuts makes your eyes perceive a distorted reflection of yourself after you stare at the reflection for a while.

That is a great argument for knock-off movies and shitty licensed games because they’re cheap. You’d have to be living a pretty comfortable life to cluelessly buy a console.

Was there even any short-term gain this time? Next company to try this will probably give much less notice if legally allowed.

I can understand woth this information companies wanting to charge more, but I feel like standards need to be higher and refunds guaranteed. They can’t ask us to spend 100’s of dollars on half-complete, buggy messes of games AND also want to charge for DLC and have micro-transactions.

I mean, I know the pandemic felt super long, but 5 years is not exactly what I would call ages.
