be me average 4chan user love reading and sharing greentext stories take screenshots of the best ones to save for later notice one day that a screenshot seems slightly tilted think it’s just my imagination days pass, more screenshots seem off angles get worse, barely noticeable but there try rotating my phone, doesn’t help open screenshots on my computer, same issue post about it on /x/, get mocked and called a noob start getting obsessed, checking old screenshots they’re fine, only the new ones are tilted spend hours comparing, measuring angles no logical explanation start losing sleep, seeing the tilt in my dreams one morning, wake up entire room looks tilted try to walk, stumble and fall everything feels off, can’t tell which way is up go outside, world looks upside down panic, try to grab onto something stable people staring at me like I’m crazy feel like I’m in a nightmare rush back inside, lock the door look at my screenshots, they’re completely upside down can’t take it anymore hear voices whispering from my computer see my reflection in the monitor, it’s me but inverted screen goes black, then a new message appears: Welcome to your new reality scream, try to shut down the computer power button doesn’t work, can’t unplug it everything in my apartment starts spinning fall to the floor, clutching my head voices getting louder, can’t think straight world fades to black wake up in a padded room nurses say I’ve been here for weeks try to explain, they don’t believe me only allowed a pen and paper draw greentext arrows on the walls, but they all look tilted

I met a cleaning lady in London who couldn’t speak English.
It happened last year in a nice hotel, and I found out as tried to ask for a towel.
Tbh it was kind of funny to think about it later, the one place you would not expect this to happen is London, yet it’s the most logical place that this would happen due to the insanely high demand for workers for these jobs.

Yeah that was abslutely disgusting. Business conflicts happen, and sometimes you must make unpopular choices, but blatantly misleading people and publicly throwing somebody under the bus is not acceptable

That looks like the 90s. Gulf War setting maybe?
Still, I will hold of for reviews, recent games have been absolute shit, and BO CW was very weak compared to the old BO games.

- Governments should only allow big merger in exceptional circumstances

They are bad for the workers, and bad for the consumers. Half of the time, aklso bad for the shareholders (according to an old McK study). Lives are being ruined for billionaires to gamble for more billions.

- Comment on Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo 5 weeks ago:
Things like these make might heart warm. They remind me of a time when video most games where about making a good experience for the users, not about endless MTX and soulless always online games that all try to be the same thing. Good to see that there are still some people in the industry, who carry own these principles.

You say you don’t go on reddit out of principle. Now can’t you understand someone not wanting users sit through a 2 second pointless marketing animation, out of a similar principle?
- Comment on Montrealer who dumped water on unhoused man's face issues public apology. 1 month ago:
Also, homeless is far from a slur in my opinion, and a similar term is used in many language. Using unhoused doesn’t change anything, the people you talk about still don’t have a place to live, but now you can feel better about themselves by using a different word.
Good article on the topic, highlighting the origin of the word, and the reasons many try to use it: theguardian.com/…/homeless-unhoused-houseless-ter…

- Comment on Suicide Squad Cost Warner Bros. $200 Million In Revenue 1 month ago:
This is a very good point. It also shows the delusion of the executives, thinking that their next shitty looter shooter will become the new Fortnite, not understanding the oversaturation of the market. People have limited hours to play per day, the only way they can play your game is if they stop playing something else.
- Comment on Suicide Squad Cost Warner Bros. $200 Million In Revenue 1 month ago:
Good demonstration of the current quality of journalism. Cost X in revenue” doesn’t make any sense, as cost and revenue are the exact opposite things, the difference of which (if I simplify) make up the EBITDA that the quote from the company actually referenced for the 200 M USD negative impact.
I’m not expecting a game journalist be an ACCA certified accountant, but should be at least able to write an accurate title based on the available quotes and information.

- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 month ago:
The most depressing thing I’ve seen related to this topic. A small team that worked incredible hard were lucky enough to achieve the impossible, and now they watch without any control as it is taken from them, for no other reason than greed.
Due to to unchecked neoliberal capitalism, big companies like Sony already cover so much of the developed markets, that they have no way to naturally grow more. So they are forced to squeeze more out of what they already have, as stagnation is not accepted in this hellish system.
The line must go up, whatever the cost!

- Comment on Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries 1 month ago:
Yeah, I understand that sales funnel logic, but still argue it’s direct financial impact would be marginal. It’s wishful thinking from Sony, that just because you got your claws into a PC player by making a PSN account, they will start buying PS stuff. The data monetization is much more direct, but still, not much additional money to be made by a few thousand extra registrations (especially as they had to be aware of refunds happening). These are definitely valid upsides, but I don’t they are big/certain enough to make this call, and compensate for the negative consequences.
My gut/experience tells me this is mostly about the PSN account numbers, and some execs getting a gazillion dollar bonus if they can push it above certain target by the next report, even if they damage the revenues in the process.
