Is this bait?

Do you know where you are?

The really impressive thing is seeing gamers whip out the Uyghur genocide line to complain about not being allowed to make political discussion in their games.

Yes china is so powerful that suddenly gamers will abandon their no politics talk when a Chinese developer asks to not discuss politics in their sponsorship deal. Something I'd imagine most developers/publishers put in and nobody cares. But suddenly china does it (not really because this is one developer from China) and well now we have to bring up the bad evil china genocide and Hong Kong and Taiwan and just reveal we have the intellectual depth of napkin soaked in our own piss.

And the developer should be dragged for trying to hide their politics and their abuses to women in the studio, but of course gamers and libs cannot actually complain effectively because they only have blinders for china itself is bad.

Well let's be clear about the tech they use. It's too slow to dynamically change based on who is shopping. The labels typically use eReader type displays which only update periodically for price updates. Need a 2450 cell battery that can last about 6 months with a single price change a week. Changing the prices more often drastically drains the battery life. And they require constant vigilance to make sure they haven't just randomly turned themselves off (seriously sometimes they randomly forget what price they should be showing).

I guess what I'm saying is if you want to ruin one of these stores those labels are expensive as fuck so bring a small jewelry kits and destroy as many as you can to fucking ruin a stores bottom line because no way in hell head office will approve sending out another thousand labels so they'll be forced to go back to paper labels.

If you don't piss off Matt Walsh then you've truly created nothing of value. He's like the lowest barrier for entry to figuring out if something has the potential for being interesting.

First blames the game for being single player, "if only she had played with the chuds online they would have shamed them into never coming out of the closet". Then says their daughter did set up a multiplayer server but because the game has no moderation (a complete misunderstanding of the game's infrastructure and how such a task could even be accomplished short of banning all chat directly, which wouldn't even work because out of game chat and voice clients still exist) and now "oh no the trans activists were waiting for a random Minecraft server with innocent child to pollute their minds with the thrill becoming a woman, and no I never supervised their play sessions, I was busy watching my own shows".

The whole thing screams the child is my property how dare it make decisions that I disagree with for their best interest. No I will not even talk to my child about what their going through they should just suck it up and get over it like we did in my day.

Yeah but now he has merchandise... So everything he does is just a promotion to sell more of the crap that makes him money. Like his shitty chocolate bars that sell for three times the price of a Nestle or Cadbury chocolate bar. Chocolate is like the ultimate sin food. It's bad for you if you eat it, and the production of it was likely bad for everyone involved, and the money goes to ghouls who just want more money.

This is where my brain went to also. It would also give us all drug glands so we can get high whenever we want.

It reads like they're trying very hard to justify cutting all the "unimportant" episodes where we slowly have the characters better understand each other and the world was better fleshed out. All so that the new show can be 10 episodes a season.

Remaking things has never appealed to me, I don't get it, I have the original good thing on my shelf, i will watch it as I want. Your new thing seems like yoy wanted money but didn't want to risk making something new. Cowardly producers want more money but are so afraid of producing a thing that isn't instantly popular.

Yep my Canadian history classes in the late 90s also conveniently excluded the Korean War genocide, said it was a just war and that almost none of the good guys died so such a success for Canada's military prowess.

The most positive I've heard is that it is a by the numbers Bethesda rpg game. It doesn't try to be anything more. If you liked fallout 4 and skyrim odds are you'll like this.
