A strike is chanting and begging for more from pig-dogs who don't give a fuck about you or I. Halting the meaning of production and disruption, is another ballpark, it has an actual consequence to society. Being the people who have the power to shut areas of society down and whining about life being unfair is pathetic.
It's because people don't know how to do it from the inside. They only know how to scream and chant they don't know how to organize on a level that would disrupt anything.
But now people want them back..... It's not like people didn't enjoy them. They fell out of fashion because of the niche audience that kept using them and because eventually everything went digital and selling things like action replay and code breakers and game shark was a hassle to load the codes onto at the time because the cables were very specific but now everything has been transferred to Type C, computers are cheap, wifi isn't shit there's two young generations at play and digitally adding in mods is harder than using an sd card with a preloaded cheat code system ready to hack your games or plugging in a cartridge to a flismy cartridge that if you bumped it your game would fuck up (action replay 2006). The n64 game shark destroyed games. For any online system, if you got caught online with cheats you were still subjected to potential bans.
I get why they, "fell out of fashion" but they're a niche thing that is still oddly enough an enjoyable part of gaming.
Not if it's blood is smiley faces, you fall down you land on a roof, your head gets bigger, omg you can fly!, everyone has a clown nose, you reveal a hidden set of armor that has no actual stats but is purely for looks.
If it's, it skips you ahead, defeats a part of the game, unlocks achievements and has an effect on the online servers then I understand not leaving them in. If it's fun garbage Easter egg bullshit, then it should be left in.
I thought about this the other day. We can only hope that genius people keep making ways to pirate games.
If the back end programmers weren't getting paid as much a they did, do you think they'd stage a mass shutdown? If farmers, construction workers and anyone who gave a fuck about ending data centers really gave a fuck, wouldn't they just get all the construction equipment and start knocking them down? The means of production can be halted with good ol' non-conformity and destruction.
It's still super scummy for them to raise the prices after a bill passed to help struggling families went into effect
Then 9/11 happened and suddenly we have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth competed with infrared before it dominated. Bluetooth's wlan not getting good is still sad to me.
I learned about
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_of_Settlementand after reading that; It seems like the Russians just didn't wanna get taken over by Germany and didn't give two fucks about the jews and that Israel is a forced settlement that's pretty much a world agreed upon sanctuary state that wanted more land and used colonization tactics to forcefully remove Palestinians for a few generations and now we're here actually giving a fuck. But yeah....... Let's all not say that....
