Yeah I would love to find something better. Back in the 90s we had a book that you could look stuff up in. It was designed more as a shopping guide for groceries but it was super helpful.

Wish there was something that provided insight without cost.

www.Goodsuniteus.com is a start to seeing where your money goes. Still looking for a better alternative.

The good news is as the giant evil corporations buy up everything it gets easier to just stop buying shit in general.

this kills the erection

That would be nice

As someone who worked in the industry, I can say you often had to FIGHT to get your name in the game credits. And you were lucky if you got a copy of whatever you made, if you did it was months later (likely long after you went and bought a copy because you wanted to play with your friends).

You certainly would not get any free digital content. Maybe a shirt or baseball hat if there were any left over from the launch party (that you weren't invited to because it's only for upper management and investors).

You meant illegal right?

Yeah, I couldn't even get photo ID because the state I was born in used a "certificate of birth" and the state I was living in required a "birth certificate".

It took months to resolve the issue and I only got it fixed by doing a surprise 3 way phone call between offices in both states and had to listen to them argue about it for nearly 20mins. Even then I think I only got my ID because the person in my state was fed up and just wanted to go home for the day.

It's not just political disinformation. Watch a few how to videos on something you know a lot about. You'll find the same wrong information repeated over and over.

All of these 'content creators' are really just 'regurgitationists'.

If you want to know how to do something wrong, watch a you tube tutorial.

Seaman on the Dreamcast when it launched was pretty crazy.

It came with the mic when you bought it.

I was in the industry for nearly a decade and have witnessed so many similar situations. Hadn't heard about this one though, thanks for sharing. I was around in those days and was super excited about the Kinect but we didn't make anything in house with it so I never got the opportunity to see it function properly.

They look like jigsaw killer!

They're for convenience!

Imagine you want several trenches dug. You could spend all weekend doing back breaking work. Or drive down and grab a load of day labor guys and spend a few hundred dollars to be done by lunch.
