What's the connection between Blizzard and Lust?

[–] Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

A "boys club" scandal a couple years ago where the male higher-ups only hired women who would tolerate being sexually abused. Some ex-employees described it as "company culture" that propagated for a decade or more. There was an investigation after some women spoke out that led to a lawsuit, several top level managers being fired, and a couple CEOs being scrutinized really hard.

All of this is off the top of my head and maybe somewhat inaccurate, but that's the gist of it.

Edit: Here's an article for you

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Multiple sexual harassment claims and lawsuits, including incidents of stolen breast milk.

  • Alleged cubicle crawls where drunk employees go cubicle to cubicle harassing females.
  • Multiple C suites resigning due to personal indiscretions.
  • A "Cosby" suite
  • Suicide due to extreme harassment
  • Multiple allegations of breast milk missing from office fridges.

You can't make this shit up.

Maybe like Overwatch and sexualized characters

[–] Trilobite@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

This was obviously made by a Sony fan boy

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Wouldn't EA be more Pride? Y'know, Pride & Accomplishment and all that jazz?

[–] TheCannonball@lemmy.world 138 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is actually pretty accurate.

[–] Rokin@lemm.ee 42 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I'm surprised how much it fits

[–] kurwa@lemmy.world 114 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Greed applies to all of these companies let's be honest.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 67 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Greed could encompass most of the 7 sins.

Lust - Greed for sex

Sloth - Greed for relaxation

Gluttony - Greed for food

Envy - Greed of others stuff

The only two that don't really fit under greed is pride and wrath

[–] Googlyman64@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Greed, the character from FMAB, has an interesting take on this concept. He extends the concept to call the idea of the heroes winning completely (i.e. they get their bodies back, defeat the bad guys, no one dies) to be a form of greed, and the idea of greed is independent of morality.

You could call this unhelpful broadening of the concept of greed, but I think it's an interesting reframing of something people usually think of very negatively.

Greeed

YOU COUNT THE MEDALS ONE TWO AND THREE...

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 47 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Pride - Greed for attention

Wrath - Greed for violence

[–] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pride could work but wrath is a stretch

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

Wrath - Greed for control

There should be a memorial for victims of EA (all the studios they have acquired and then shut down), similarly to the Victims of Communism memorial.

[–] paperemail@links.rocks 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Damn I didn't know they killed hangouts

All four people who used it must've been devastated

Why does so much of the text look so AI-smudged

[–] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The original is very low res that's why I upscaled it:

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

Probably the AI-smudging

I get all of these but lust for blizzard, anybody care to explain it to me?

[–] thisistricky@lemm.ee 79 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sexual harassment cases at Blizzard.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Oh yeah now I remember...

I love how they responded to that by changing McCree's name (I'll call Robotnik Eggman before I pretend Cole Cassidy isn't the most generic shit I've ever heard) and then censoring the hell out of World of Warcraft

Two things that didn't really need to happen... and I love how basically no one, not a soul, honors the new name of Jesse McCree

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Maybe because their Overwatch models are used heavily in porn.

[–] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So THAT'S why it's always so high-quality.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Nonsense. The porn has way better quality models than the game.

Or so I heard. I don't play Overwatch.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

Overwatch is an amazing porn series that has an incredibly shitty game based on it.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Who examines their porn that closely....and where

Why is the Nintendo logo AI generated?

[–] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s not AI generated, it’s AI upscaled because the original was very low resolution and I was to lazy to remake the meme

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

Maybe to avoid copyright claims

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably so they have a defense when Nintendo sends a cease and desist order for using their logo.

can anybody explain the konami part to me? I am out of the loop.

[–] Hector@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Konami published a lot of games that had potential but they didn't really take them anywhere.

did you ai generate every single one of those logos

Sloth should be Bethesda.

Slutty slutty Blizzard
