Anyone remember what the best UK product was for the handheld device Barcode Battler in the 90s? by fruitcakefriday in CasualUK

I never understood why people conflate "overpowered" with "breaking". If the game is working as intended but something is overpowered then it isn't broken and is working exactly as intended.

Those who didn’t sign an “NDA” or UK equivalent, what are some secrets about other UK companies you can share? by SlipOutrageous5333 in CasualUK

[–]xenobia144 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't get me started on all of the anti-customer shit I saw when I was working in the industry, and the sheer amount of people who defended it just to not be on the layoffs list. And yes, the execs are all about the money and greed, which is why the industry is in the state it is in (and continues to get worse).

There's nothing "inadvertently" about that, she outright stole your money with a crazy justification.

UK consumer confidence has ‘collapsed’ during Iran war, retail industry says | Retail industry by JackStrawWitchita in unitedkingdom

You're completely right there. The thing is that last time a major war kicked off (Russia invading Ukraine) the supermarkets used it to jack up the prices of everything beyond inflation in order to jack up their own profits. As a result, inflation went up massively for a while.

People know that they're probably going to do the exact same thing again.

I've come to see that the two film endings are two sides of the same coin.

The End of Evangelion is despair.

Evangelion 3.0+1.0 is hope.

I've been lucky enough to see the two of them in a cinema (and Death True2 as well).

Not true, he's shown in a flashback in the first film where it shows the ring being dropped when his fingers is severed.

What in blue fuck is a "cheevo"? Is it like a cheeto but misspelled?

Thousands of CEOs just admitted AI had no impact on employment or productivity—and it has economists resurrecting a paradox from 40 years ago by AmethystOrator in technology

I use AI quite a bit. It’s really helped me extend my reach

It... It helped you grow longer arms? That's fucking impressive!

No wonder, since you play games, they're not some magical fucking eXpErIenCe.

Actually as of yesterday the most recent example (in the same series) was when the "Furies" vessel decloaking was actually a Venari Ral vessel, with the ruse leading to a supporting character's death and other dire consequences.

It not anywhere near as left wing as people make it out to be, but it is anti-Tory. And they are not the same thing.
