Buzzfeed felt that way. A lot of people in Silicon Valley or Boise feel this way.
So much of that work can be automated or done remotely. So many companies are a giant bureaucracy and one guy making the actual product.
I was on the fence on the matter till I saw a friend crying with joy. I had forgotten he was Venosolano, and realized what it meant to him.
I once asked my Dad why Evita was so big in Argentina. She was extremely corrupt and self centered.
"Compared to everyone else, she was a saint"
South America has had to deal with Saints like that for a long time. Just having hope of a normal life is good enough for them.
Also, the war was all of thirty minutes long. Very few if any commoners were killed, and the leadership was taken down quickly. That's probably the biggest fear by the powers that be, their entire control could end in 30 minutes. Boots on ground won't even be a thing. The grand parades and battles will be only in history books. All attacks will be direct and quick. They want this power, but also realize it means it will be used against them.
Compare Biden's Ukraine war with Trump's Venezuela war. Which would you rather have?
Those are my thoughts on the matter.
Sorry to read of your personal woes Dom. I wish you the best on that.
Welcome new mods. Good luck. I wish I had something clever to say but most of you have at least some respect from me, and the weird work ahead will not always be pleasant.
The president of SeGa Amusements recently passed away, and companies like Wahlap have definitely stepped into the arcade market. Gambling and gacha games are doing well enough. At one point SeGa had a theme design and building company. They worked with Universal to create GameWorks. There were semi theme park areas even as recent as 2019 in Japan.
We tend to look at consoles only and don't realize how big the market actually is. But even then, SeGa is not up to its glorious self.
It's like a mad scientist experiment inside of them.
SeGa created stuff like

And more. They dominated the late sixties and early 70's to become the big name in arcade. The company even made a semi standardized box with viewer so games could be right next to each other. This was early JAMMA stuff. In Japan, SeGa was king of the arcade.
It's amazing what you can get if you serve in the military. They have an entire fast track system for it. I suspect it was originally for gate girls becoming wives.
Yes, yes it does.
SeGa is short for Service Games. Japanese initials include the next vowel sound when written. A lot of the arcade and videogame scene in Japan was Servicemen importing stuff so other servicemen could have stuff from home. Jukeboxes, games, speaker systems, and more arrived in random Japanese bars. It proved lucrative with the Japanese themselves and grew from there.
SeGa was the king of arcades in Japan for a long time. Old electro mechanical stuff was their pride and joy. The arcade cabinet started from the idea of the moveable EM machines. SeGa designed that idea.
Arcades and gambling often go hand in hand. The various organizations often worked together or were straight up from gambling companies. SeGa, Konami, Capcom and others all have a Gaming division, a console department, and an arcade department.
Sadly, a lot of that history can't be fully told. SeGa had no problems using mob tactics to get what they wanted. It was easier to say which companies didn't do that. Anyone interviewed often went by anonymous sources or wouldn't name who threatened them directly.
The 90's console wars were on the backs of the arcade wars, and SeGa was king in arcades. I still love their more modern games. Rosen was just a guy who got out of the service and started a company he probably had been running unofficially beforehand.
We owe him and his company a lot.
He just filmed locked doors and said it was a daycare!
That's what all the responses say about the evidence.
I'm watching it again, and anyone good is seen as evil. If they aren't evil, they will be killed. Barbara was the first person, but her pattern shows. Anyone trying to do good or be good is hurt or damaged in some way. Only the bad people who are ready to kill are going to survive.
Also, they put the D&D away because they 'grew up' in the end. The board game was just an allegory to their childishness.
Teenagers aren't much better
Where's my tie I don't know You're wearing it
Add that to reasons why I don't live in Washington anymore.
I had family in Dresden at that time... As far as we can tell, none of my relatives survived. Either that or they really didn't want to write their relatives and took on new names.
The problem with this plan is that when they run out of ideas for big tiddy anime girls, someone will write a side story about falling in love. The women will watch that, and evil will say it is the only reason.
Says she isn't part of the dfl, so that's good.
True story, Pike's Street Market says they have the first Starbucks. It's actually on 65th, and looks pretty normal, but we never tell tourists that.
Yeah, I sort of figured. Guess where half my left leaning stuff comes from.
It's becoming a branch language. There have been classes on Hawaiian Pidgen and Ebonics.
Heck, my family speaks in a German ENglish Spanish mix that hurts everyone else's head
Step 2 I guess.
Pretty much
Sonic can be pregnant, which is why I don't go near his fandom.
But enough about Penny Dreadful.
Different initialisms all trying to infiltrate the organizations they've all propped up to infiltrate what they thought was something big?
