  • In all honesty it seems you just hate stories and I mean thats ok because gameplay, ascetic, and community are all features that become reasons for people to love games and usually its a combo of multiple different features that cause that game to be a favorite but why are you being condesending about basic plot lines? A good story needs a template in order for it to grow into something more and i honestly cant think of a book that doesn’t fall into these catagories even “House Of Leaves” falls into it IIRC

    Yes tropes exist and can be a sign of bad writing but, tropes can be done extremely well and create more then what was there before which is a sign of great writing.


  • Its difficult personally to believe its a myth due to my memory of the Twitter buyout where I recall the main struggle being that the CEOs of Twitter couldn’t deny Elon purchasing Twitter due to the threat of lawsuit from their shareholders, and after announcing his plans to purchase Twitter for the inflated price Elon couldn’t back out due to the same threat however I am open to the idea that I could of been misled on that situation.

    As for the why of a myth like that circulating I doubt its due to malice and more due to misunderstanding as Ive always understood that any wording made on a legal case could be used as precedent. It could also fit well with people rationalizing why companies seek record profits while underpaying workers for their labor.

    If anyone could clarify the Twitter situation without sucking off elon it would be appreciated















  • Its only the first major wave of people, the Reddit blackout should cause more people to head over here and we have an active group creating content for the next few days hopefully. Reddit has another major wave when Apollo and RIF shut down, but we only benefit from that if the site is alive for the next 2 weeks after the blackout but that last wave should be the largest due to a lot of people really not wanting to use the official app. There’s a chance this kills reddit and spez did not do his AMA well at all
