There are literally 9000 hidden object games on Steam

I see skipping cultural literacy to focus on “real” subjects has paid off nicely for you

Are you okay? Do you support the war on drugs too and think that that lowest-rung enforcement is actually effective? Instead of whackamole vigilantism, how about a blanket ban on companies paying children to become brand ambassadors instead?

Mistaking structural factors, like the profit imperative amidst an enshittogenic regulatory environment, for moral failings is unhelpful. For-profit companies will do what they can get away with, which is why these lawsuits are so important.

Do you think all the sellers to whom Amazon put exactly the same ultimatum have a victim complex too?

And do you seriously think Valve doesn’t require discounts that are as deep or greater during its own seasonal sales? Did your brain really think “Hey, I saw a sale somewhere once!” and instantly conclude from it that you could somehow disprove an antitrust lawsuit based on internal communications from Valve employees doing exactly what they are accused of?

“Those bullies are meaner, so you’re not actually get bullied” is some abuser-grade gaslighting there, pal

Jim Beam, Amazon, Tyson Foods…the list of companies that monitor employee bathroom breaks is not short

Yep, Valve is pulling the exact same “most favored nation” move that Lina Khan and Rob Bonta sued Amazon for, and it has the exact same anticompetitive effects, hurting suppliers and and raising prices for consumers economy-wide

Bless you bruce, out here doing the lord’s work educating chucklehead Gaben simps on basic concepts like market power and anticompetitive practices that we somehow manage to apply to every tech monopoly except Valve

Who’s there?

Do you even hear yourself talking like a conspiracy theorist while defending a billionaire’s innocence?

Thank you for posting and compiling this.

What languages did they speak in the Iron Age?

All taken, sorry!

Sent! I haven’t seen the new series, but you might be interested in what happened in real life when a group of schoolboys were shipwrecked in a situation very similar to the book!

There’s just a couple left, so if you don’t have one of them already (since you’re a collector), it’s yours!

Got Dead Island, thanks!

I already DM’d them one, but hopefully someone else can grab this one!
