The person claiming this is @TheBestFigen. And who is that? Why are they reporting this? You don’t trust random sources on twitter for news.
Idk but they have more than a million followers. If someone with that reach posts misleading information it’s good to correct it.

I’ve heard of a club in my country where you put on a colored bracelet based on whether or not are you looking for a partner. Seemed like a cool idea but I think it didn’t catch on.

It does kind of have “We would have gotten away with it, if it hadn’t been for you meddling kids!” energy to me.
There’s no way they thought the PSN thing would’ve been a well-received update.

Not our fault the entire tech industry keeps engineering new ways to give people trust issues.

These reviews will have a lasting effect on the game even though the drama bubble has now popped.
Steam has a specific thing that appears when you keep playing a lot on a game that you’ve negatively reviewed asking if you want to change it. I think a game is rarely impacted long-term by review bombing for a resolved issue, unless the reviewers actually dropped the game and went on with their lives.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 6 months ago:
This is why Steam reviews should be taken much more seriously. This was impossible to avoid due to the enormous amount of bad press and devs themselves jumping on the hate train, but I’m betting that a lot of review bombing attempts have been quietly offset by the company just paying people for fake reviews. It’s especially obvious when the game has relatively low reviews for months and months, then suddenly bad stuff happens and along with the justified dump of negative reviews, positive ones also skyrocket (99% of which composed of “good game”, random memes or ascii art).
- Comment on Anon has nerdy hobbies 6 months ago:
Yup, been there done that. I’ve just resigned to the fact that the whole social cues thing is too much for my brain and I’ll just stick to the hobby and be friends with them unless I get really lucky and get to know a girl that’s simultaneously interested in me and willing to make the first move.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 6 months ago:
Neither the site nor the author point to any of this being satire, unfortunately.
They’re just that much detached from reality.

Safari allows you to install adblockers, btw. Apple is overprotective but this isn’t really their fault.
- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 7 months ago:
Well yes, maybe going that far back it was kind of a shot in the dark, but the late ‘90 to early ‘10 period was a time where you had internet (or at least tv/magazines) to know which games were “popular”, most of those were actually well done, and you’d rarely have an AAA title launch as a bugridden mess.
Reviews are also a hit-or-miss because they’re highly subjective. The Steam review system sucks as well, being only positive/negative and with troll reviews always at the top.
- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 7 months ago:
The difference is back in the day the great games were the highly advertised “big ones” and the “stinkers” usually fell flat. Now you have a mountain of AAA stinkers and have to go scavenging for indie gems.

Whoops, you’re right, my bad. I’m not a native speaker and mixed “grifter” with “griefer”.

They wanted those kids to go at a concert and “spread the gospel” to people who paid to be there. Not sure about you, but I know I wouldn’t take that well.
- Comment on Merry Christmas 10 months ago:
Well, they’re right in the sense that Internet is very unforgiving about anything that anyone ever did, no matter if they stopped or not.
Doesn’t mean it’s a good practice and they should be justified in doing it as well, though.
- Comment on I knew it all along! 10 months ago:
In the U.S., education is mostly about being able to regurgitate what you’ve been told.
Wait, are there places where it’s not?
- Comment on I knew it all along! 10 months ago:
More about the Time Cube (warning: you’ll probably end up with more questions after reading it)

Ah yes, my favorite movie Image

Yeah “faithful” isn’t what I would call it but your comment is a huge exaggeration and I hope you know that. I’d struggle to find western adaptations that change less stuff than what the OP LA did.

That’s why the “then” was key.
I’m just talking because there’s probably no realistic way to make it possible at this point, but assuming countries could “buy back” houses from landlords until they have enough for everyone, I wouldn’t mind people having more than one house as long as everyone has at least one.
- Comment on We've invented some silly concepts 1 year ago:
My take is everyone should be entitled to one, then do whatever you want with what’s left.
- Comment on Redditor when women 1 year ago:
Because that’s virtually the only place where you can do that and not get banned. So obviously all the nutjobs flocked there to do it.
Doesn’t change that there’s still fun discussion sometimes on the site, although it’s hardly worth it when it’s so full of misogyny and alt-right propaganda. I admire the people that manage to stay sane in there.

He did a couple stage plays actually! I don’t think he’s interested in it as a career but I could definitely see him as an actor.
- Comment on Redditor when women 1 year ago:
4chan isn’t really that bad honestly. It’s just the epitome of “FrEe SpEeCh”, and as a consequence it attracts a crapton of social outcasts who finally have a place to vent their horrible opinions.
The 10% of the site that isn’t talking about women or politics is actually pretty nice.
- Comment on Redditor when women 1 year ago:
I had a friend who roleplayed as Napoleon on Facebook for multiple years. You just need dedication (plus they told me it was pretty entertaining).
Not that it has anything to do with Ms. Robbie here, obviously.
- Comment on Redditor when women 1 year ago:
But like, how is a human being possible without penis and balls? Where does the pee come from? Where do they store it?
I don’t know man, seems a bit too surreal to me.

Then come to Italy (or rather: go to France or Austria near the border so you can enjoy Italian food without actually dealing with living in Italy)
- Comment on Think anyone would notice? 1 year ago:
NO GOD PLEASE NO
Being in the EU is like the one good part of the Italian government, if you take that out I guarantee we’ll somehow manage to be even worse neighbors than Florida

Not sure, but quick googling says this is at least 3 years old so it would be kinda hard to find.
- Comment on Shrinkflation is out of control 1 year ago:
The thing that pisses me off the most is “””eco-friendly””” companies doing shrinkflation. My guy, you can tell me it’s recycled plastic or whatever, if the portions are smaller you’re still pumping out more plastic than before, asshole.
