The problem lies in noticing them in the first place. If you make a thousand legit edits to various articles and then make some slight changes on some rich clients page chances are nobody will register this. Then again we’re on the internet so there’s always at least one guy who’d hyperfocus on monitoring something like this. The hero we need.
Ah it’s a <make up weird quotes that don’t reflect the general feedback and then react to that> episode. I too remember people in the street shouting “you never should’ve tried something new BioWare!” after making that memory up.
In truth the biggest criticism they got was when they released it unfinished, promised a bunch of content and then let it die because they smashed the numbers into a calculator and came to the conclusion it’ll not be worth it. No fucking shit. Fixing the mess you sold people for full price won’t make you a lot of profit, it’s something you do to make up for delivering unfinished crap in the first place.
Imagine a plumber who does pipe work in your house and when you call them because they did a shoddy job and it’s leaking they say “Nah, wouldn’t be worth it to fix this. I’ll rather go do a different project for more money.”
Fuck right off.
I can make this worse. The Katy Perry song Hot N Cold starts playing full blast every time you turn the shower on.
“How much to let me poop on your chest?”
“I’m sorry I don’t so this kind of t-[he pulls out 4 32GB DDR5 RAM sticks] …OKEYDOKEY!”
That’s some horror movie ending shit right there. The villain is defeated and the heroes escape but the camera pans over and you see a small turd in tacticool gear and a mask crawl out of his butt.
You’re not wrong but it still feels bad.
My nieces’ favorite video game of all time is dead or alive 3 on the original Xbox. There’s a switch with new games and fancier graphics connected to an OLED tv but at the end of the day they just want to kick people as simply as possible. Old ass console connected to an old tv in a guest room.
Nobody is better at sniffing out what’s actually fun than kids. They might get tricked by marketing here and there but once they get their hands on things it’s a simple process for them. Does this spark joy?
True but we can’t just put random women in a room with him. She chose this. She volunteered as tribute.
You should do a new study on this. If you need something entirely dry as a reference try Ben Shapiro’s wife while he’s in a room with her.
It’s like a rewiring through new experience. Back in the day games were improving in looks and gameplay rapidly. Then the latter started deteriorating for many big studio titles.
You tell me some new AAAA Ubisoft game is coming out and my gag reflex starts to tingle.
A new pixel graphic indie title with great reviews? Sign me up.
The fruit that was once sweet has become poison.
While this is most likely rage bait this isn’t far from human self perception.
There were multiple studies on this with similar setups. Eg they’d have students play monopoly and give one of them significantly more cash to start with. Not secretly either. One would think this student would understand that this is an insane advantage but the study found that most of the participants believed that they won by playing well.
So even with the most obvious advantage humans will think that it was their own merit that lead to their success.
Dummy thicc collectors would pay top dollar for this.
10 years is not a long time and once the cat is out of the bag it’s rather difficult to get it back in.
It was the same for other manufacturing. You can’t manufacture most commercial items at a competitive price not just because the difference in labor cost but because there’s simply nobody left that is capable of doing it at scale in the US or Europe.
We’re just trying to help those nerds spend less time on their PC, you see? Yes, we produce memory but at our core we’re a grass touching company.
What an absolute ghoul.
First they came for our neighbors and I didn’t say anything.
Then they came for family members and I didn’t say anything.
Then they took my chicken tendies and I was mad but didn’t say anything.
BUT…when they take my PC I will REEEEEEEEEEE
Yo, when the new groceries droppin?
Yeah, go ahead and have a laugh but he did deliver on the monkey brain torture device so joke’s on you.
Couldn’t think of a way to go out of business faster than having a competent-customers-only policy.
He was just out there spreading the word of boobah but yeah this stuff can go under the radar for a while.
