I have a copy of Ms Monopoly (beside my copies of Monopoly for Millenials and The Game of Life: Quarter Life Crisis edition, both also real board games) and it's truly insane. Female players earn more when they pass go as some kind of in game affirmative action

The insane Monopoly ad makes perfect sense because Monopoly itself doesn't understand the point of its existence: to be a horrible, lovely game about how much capitalism sucks. Which was also invented by a woman, who was of course ripped off.

So, really, it's 100% on brand

Apparently the Twitter post is edited to make the ad seem weirder according to my wife. The original is weird but not as bad

Wrong, that's the original ad, there's just more afterwards (Hasbro gave them 20k)

Yes and it will if you refresh it a bit. It's a very hacky work around to get things going and like all hacky work arounds there is jank to deal with. Still less jank than actually twitter these days but you need to accept a certain amount as part of the cost of doing business with less Musk in your life.

It worked after I refreshed a few times. Not worth it imo, unless there's something to the joke beyond "piano notes can't increase in volume like bowed instruments/woodwinds/reeds lol".

Isn’t that the whole point of the pianoforte? Sounds like a skill issue.

It's a single whole note that is meant to increase in volume. Pianos can't do that because once a note is played it has to be replayed to change the velocity the hammer hits. That's the whole joke.

The second part is "guitarists can't read sheet music".

Neither one is very funny or original tbh, it's more so people can point at it and go "I get that!" hth

You could switch to 20 posts or something. Or- if you really want to put your forums experience into overdrive- you could get a weirdly compelling av of some description.

They had notable layoffs in 2018 after Toys Я Us dissolved but I'm not finding anything notable in 2020

They definitely did, of course, it's just all I can find is "but what about their stock price!?" reactions to toy factory shutdowns in July 2020
