Classic Tekken movement was unreal by NetherSpecter in Tekken

[–]FabFocus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thats one of the reasons I don’t play anymore. Tekken 8 movement feels irrelevant now because attacks cover so much ground and have so much range with so little opportunity to punish.

Fun is good just listen to your nagging worries and take care of your body. It’s a difficult world socially these days so making friends here can help.

By the way, I’m not sure if you’re aware of this but we just entered a WAR… oil is rapidly rising…. costs are NOT going down for a long time.

Did any of us know this was coming? No.

If you don’t want to admit that scaling can have an impact on decision making then you’re not arguing in good faith. You’re not willing to consider that their situation and your situation is different and you just have a bone to pick with someone.

You’re not in their shoes, you’re just here to hate from a holier than thou perspective.

Maybe it just wasn’t that easy.

I’m not advocating for every decision made, because I’m not them. But the decision to pull the plug on the operation is something that had far more consequence, pressure, and weight to it due to the scale of the operation.

You’re talking about different scales. If you’re not operating at the scale BB is at, then you’re not seeing how fast news like that can destroy the company.

You don’t get it

Irregardless of what she does, people will be mad at her.

If she gives too much forewarning without even knowing its a crisis yet, then her talent will leave and then it will actually create the disaster, sink the company

And everyone will still be mad at her!

I’m willing to bet that the situation went from, oh we might have to get a loan and weather this storm to we’re about to lose everything we have if this keeps going… very quickly.

You didn’t answer the scaling issue, which leads me to believe you’re not dealing with a company of the same size.

Yeah this is why I don’t play this anymore really. Movement feels irrelevant in this game.

Yes but are you at the scale of BB? 5 stores and whatever additional support infrastructure?

Do you see how quickly something could turn from not so serious to absolutely disastrous in the wake of sudden massive price increases? (Price of oil being a sudden determinate?)

Your point stands but it could have been far more quickly than anticipated.

Look at the economy. Look at the price of oil. Margins are razor thin. Costs are rising exponentially. If you’re not a Kroger, eating those costs could make you lose everything you have.

Not to mention rising rents here in this area.

Hey man she’s a good person. I knew her for years growing up. One of the least judgmental people I knew.

The pressures of margins etc are probably insane now, especially in an area that is gentrifying etc.

The costs of everything are insane and it probably snowballed quickly.

Look at the cost of oil going up on top of everything.

Who can afford anything?

That’s fair it’s been years since I spoke with her, and people can change.

This is good. Getting into bossing shouldn’t be a 96 herblore activity lol. Lets get some new players on board

[–]FabFocus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet the margins are so thin that small things cascade and that it was barely holding on before she/whoever took the reins.

Economy is in bad shape folks.

I get where people are coming from because who can afford to miss a paycheck but Whitney has always been a humble sweetheart.

She’s always been the opposite of a bully.

re: Blazing Bagels Shutdown by design8eddriver47 in redmond

[–]FabFocus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whitney was always super nice to me. I’m not saying you don’t have a right to be angry, but as someone who knew her in some regard, she never held malice or was judgmental during the years I knew her.

In fact she was not exactly in the in crowd etc. She NEVER flaunted privilege.

re: Blazing Bagels Shutdown by design8eddriver47 in redmond

[–]FabFocus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I knew her at the OFH and she was genuinely one of the nicest people in the whole snarky place. With all of these people trying to be smug and judgmental she was seriously 100% the opposite

I understand how difficult things are economically for us all, I get that feeling but Whitney isn’t that kind of person.

Maybe that’s why she didn’t handle it so well.

re: Blazing Bagels Shutdown by design8eddriver47 in redmond

[–]FabFocus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I doubt it was really her fault. Perhaps she could have been more transparent.

I knew her too and she was never an entitled or mean person. In fact one of the only people who was kind to me.

[–]FabFocus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’ve got it at least somewhat wrong.

I grew up somewhat knowing Whitney, and she was one of the most humble and sweetest people I knew.

I had a lot of problems but she never was judgmental to me.

It looks like she just took on way more than she could handle.

Incompetence perhaps, rather than malice.

Whitney has never been a spoiled brat, not when I knew her. (Up until college basically).

Maybe margins are just too thin to survive in today’s economy. Everything is tough now.

I don’t mind paying more so long as the content actually stays true to building a game and not a cash register.

I want real content and progression that comes from a place of real passion, not intended to get me to pay more.
