It goes back even further. BioWare was criticizing JRPGs as far back as 2009. I briefly spoke to Casey Hudson about it on the sidelines of E3 2010. Social media wasn’t as much of a thing back then but folks were still upset.

That’s what bothers me the most about the current day: talking to us as if we’re children. “Inflation Reduction Act.” Sure, ok bro, thanks. There’s zero sophistication or nuance in any sort of discussion. I might as well be watching WWE, at least that’s nakedly fake.

Good eye. I think it's missing music, for one. Also: nothing here looked super glamorous. Taking the bus in Chicago during the winter isn't quite the same as sitting poolside in some sun-drenched resort-style building.

I've always wondered how that works. Let's say you're picked for a jury and you just straight up tell the prosecution, "Yeah, no matter what evidence you show I'm not convicting this guy." Not sure if that qualifies as nullification lol.

One criticism that was off for me was the "selling things they don't make."
Do Toyota or Honda or Ford have the ability to sell directly to consumers? Do you buy your butter from the Land O Lakes store or from a grocery store? Even Rolex uses dealers. Retail is a skill!

I swear to God my mom used to tell me "A hero ain't nothin but a sandwich." I think there were a lot of good samaritan types who got jacked in the late 80s/early 90s in NYC. Message received: Mind your own business. To this day one of my most used phrases is "not my problem."
