Don't be Evil

- How much I missed this. The brands are gaining too much confidence again, we gotta start bullying them
  
  bluesky fellas did manage to send adobe reeling, that's something we can all aspire to do
  
  We do, regularly. Especially here!

”Hello fellow kids” vibes
- This describes it perfectly. The account handler probably doesn't even game.
  
  My bet is that it's an intern who believes marketing/advertising is a great thing and sees games as "waste of time". Or a 50yo manager who fired the almost-competent PR team and asked their nephew how games worked.
  
  So it's Elons account?
- I also consume the nutrients at the dinner time.

Shut the fuck up, brand!

I really hate it when corporate Twitter accounts try to be quirky. Wendy's trolling McDonald's was funny for a bit but even that got old and I blame it for making this sort of thing common.
- They realized that cringe increases engagement via hate-sharing.

So... my phone was out of battery, so I pulled out my power bank and connected the cable to my phone, but then I was feeling like I'm connecting two parts of an explosive device, I instinctively said, loudly:
"BOMB PLANTED"
Now the entire plane is staring at me like I'm some sort of criminal.
- No wonder airport guards started to break into the toilet after I gave birth to a fist-wide log screaming the same in a sudden mix of terror and glee.

I don't think any video game character YELLS their active effects at us...

I actually cannot stop hearing the MGS exclamation sound effect everytime I type a !

Parody account
...Basically indistinguishable from any regular Twitter account. Why did Elon want these accounts labeled, again?
- What exactly is it supposed to be a parody of?
  Just because someone uses it to try to be funny, does not make it parody. It doesn’t make it sarcasm. It doesn’t make it ironic. People love to use all of those incorrectly.
  
  Rick Ashley I assume.
  I guess they were a parody account of him earlier but they changed their mind later.
  
  That’s a lot of schadenfreude you have there. Maybe work on your cultural literacy.
- You know why

My life is like a video game, trying hard to beat the stage, all while I am still collecting coins!
- !outside@lemmy.world
- I battle with the evil ways
  I travel far and try and save
  Sorry, but your princess isn't here

I can almost see the grey face of the marketing intern shuffling out of another pointless meeting to write this, debating whether their health insurance would cover jumping out of the building window.
- They tried to say this wouldn't work, but Bob the PM thinks its great and has ordered you to put it through. His only concession to your warning was "well, add an 'lol' or something to make it sound gamery".
- This is the real reason they're so obsessed with AI... Let the computer write this shit.
  
  And fire the intern and let them die uninsured.

"lol"
- Absolute value of o

Ever since the 80's, I can't close my eyes without seeing falling tetriminos 😔

No. But I do sing the victory fanfare tune from final fantasy every time I do some small thing. Wash dishes? Victory! Laundry? Victory! Cook dinner? Victory! Take a shit? Victory!
- Oh. Oh I'm not the only one. I'm not even an avid FF player; I just played some of the remakes on DS.
  The victory tune is burned into my brain, as well as the Chocobo theme.
  
  Ohhhh man I love the Chocobo Theme, and have also played like zero FF games besides XV, which was dogshit. But one of the teammates sings this cute little in-game ad jingle that uses the Chocobo theme, so I hear him singing it in my head every now and then.
- This is awesome. I still remember that tune from when I played it. Funny how some people think positivity and imagination aren't excellent things. You keep doing you! And I'm definitely going to be copying your idea!
- Ok, if you have a lot of dishes to wash by hand, you deserve a fucking fanfare from final fantasy. That shit is hardwork.
- That’s lame as fuck dude
  
  Feel free to keep your soggy opinion to yourself
  
  I'm curious as to why you think it's "lame as fuck". Does it harm you? Does it harm them? Does it fucking harm anybody? Does it just seem like a quickly little weird thing that you don't do but others might? The answer to one of those questions is, "Yes".
  
  As is your existence.
  
  Haters on here but yeah, it's lame.

10 health from dinner? Unless my max health is like, 40 or less that's just rude.

TFW someone posts "don't be evil" on a thing with the author credit scribbled out.
- I didn't find the original. I'm glad you did, I'll edit the post!
  
  Very cool of you! Thanks.

I take "Thing that didn't happen" for 500, Alex.

For a proper plate of pasta you should at least get +40. If you cooked it yourself maybe even +1 skill point. If you fed someone, "you are now friends".

(cricket chirps, but halfway through stops, sees who’s talking, and quietly leaves.)

No, but now I'm half the Wolfenstein chicken dinner sound in my head...

remember that sonic thread?
- Are those the MSCHF boots???
