You people must not have office jobs because Funko Pop figures line every cubicle, desk, and shelf. They're bumper stickers for the office: tell everyone in the workplace you like a thing they may or may not have heard of with this valueless tchotchke.

e: They are at least less offensive than bumper stickers. I would rather pass a million dead eyed dolls than another "abortion is murder" or a quote from historic racists.

Why would you ever advertise anything about yourself that you could be judged on, let alone doing it at work?

Hey man, sometimes you're desperate for any kind of human contact after staring at a computer screen for 8 hours.

If Office Space is ever remade it will be sponsored by Funko.

When I did cleaning work in an office 2 years ago I didn't see any Funko Pops :shrug:

Most of the people there had art done by their kids in the cubicles which made me smile.

Maybe its because as a Red Mage he'll just never be able to reach the same heights as a White Mage or Black Mage not because he doesn't choose to, but because its just mystically impossible at his age now to change jobs into a career that's a better long term investment.

Well, Brahne's austerity cuts over the last decade means there's now less of a market for spells and as a mage he's working for the Queen as an indepdendent contractor so he's losing out on his worker's rights which means he can't take time off work to look after his rheumatism so it's getting harder and harder to support his wife and two kids, they're having to rely on Alexandria's food bank once a week, they can't even afford a holiday to Treno this year and he's got no idea how he's going to keep his family going. He knows he should have chosen a different mage type like his mother always told him but it's too late now, he's ten thousand Gil in the hole with the Qus and he's just can't see a way out.

Not even being the only profession certified to use the Lightbringer and Deathbringer swords is worth the sunken cost into that career path.

He could except the introduction of the Treno Airship Service has opened up the audience to include all the Treno nobles meaning that ticket prices have suffered from heavy inflation over the last five years, pricing the Alexandrian working class out of the market. At this point the only joy he gets is from knocking back an ether or two at the end of the day except he's starting earlier and earlier and hell, he's not working most days and he's not got any other plans so he might as well start drinking in the morning. After all, where's the harm?

if anything the mid level destruction of Alexandria following the escape of the Prima Vista will allow him to work a bit as a street healer, using low level White Magic to heal cuts and burns. The pay may not be great due to most of his clientele being the peasants who were watching from the roof when Queen Brahne's own Bomb went off, but hopefully through this act of altruism, he'll find out why he fell in love with magic at all

I’d probably react to a row of Funko dolls the same way I’d react to a row of amiibos tbh.

I mean not exactly because one is better than the other but you know, it’s all clutter that makes the owner feel good in some intangible way

Those Funkopops with the cereal look small enough to be a choking hazard, does that count

Also I wonder how that cereal falls under the terms of this contract, do you subtract the value of the food or
https://twitter.com/juchemane/status/954058032039768064?lang=en

Is it just me or is this contract so permissive it seems more or less meaningless? I guess the purchase is where most of the "fun" is so once that's over there's not much left but to buy more.
