James Stephanie Sterling after she started doing the stupid “ad spots” in videos for pogs and other memorabilia. They aren’t real ads, but they were so damned obnoxious.

Lucy Pyre after she stopped doing FFXIV videos and went full on brainrotted degenerate.

They may not have to maximise profits but the shareholders will question every decision that doesn’t maximise profits so the result is the same. That’s why activist investors that push companies to more ethical behaviour are important.

And the tankies on lemmy wonder why those of us with Chinese descent don’t like mainlanders. This. This is why.

Parasites running unregulated hotels driving the smaller operators to list on airbnb as well.

Lost a lot of my hobby subs and spend more time posting political crap now.

Oh they were on Reddit. Before I left, you could find them on ChapoTrapHouse. After the Ukraine War kicked off, you could see them all over world news, Ukraine, noncredibledefense, credibledefence, and the various war update subs.

Yagami Tetsuya assassinated Abe Shinzo, former PM of Japan, while he was drumming up support for a candidate from his party. The motive was his mother draining the family savings account to donate to a Christian cult known as the Unification Church, aka Moonies. He actually wanted to kill the Moonie leadership but deemed it unrealistic, so he went after Abe who had ties to the cult. After the assassination, it came out that a lot of Japanese leadership had ties to the cult and there was a bit of a witch-hunt.

FFXIV.

Not sure about ESO and SWTOR. I know WoW has the token market that technically counts as turning money into power by selling tokens and buying clears.

The game started as the musings of an old gm/qc/dev from Asheron’s Call. The early days of the game were more like a sandbox for the dev and the players. He was throwing different systems at the wall to see what stuck with the players. I remember it being full of place holder assets and jank.

But unlike g-sync and freesync, FSR2 isn’t good enough to match DLSS3 yet.

If twitchthots and onlyfans have taught us anything, it’s that thirsty nerds will buy anything at any price from a pretty face.

If you’re into the anime aesthetic: Nier Automata, Atelier series, and Recettear. I think FFXIII is fun but people would argue otherwise.
