FF7 Rebirth

What they're mad about with FF7 is that with the release of Rebirth they also released a patch for Remake that adds a sports bra under 15 year old Tifa's top to cover her cleavage. Because they realized that it's bad to sexualize minors.

Pervs are losing their poo poo because they got to see it for four years and now it's gone.

Twitter made a way to hide it after too many people complained about getting shunned for it. There's Chrome/Firefox extensions that can tell though

By now is there actually many advertisers left that would be driven off if it just become a full on porn site? Seems he managed to drive off nearly all the big ones already, and crypto scam advertisers probably arn't the most concerned about reputation as long as they keep getting click throughs.

Hell might even make out back some of the lossess from the mass advertiser fleeing by taking up porn ads. I'd say that would destroy the reputation of twitter, but at this point what reputation.

Speaking of Zitron, dude started a podcast under Robert Evan's Cool Zone Media banner, Better Offline that's basically Behind the Bastards for the tech industry and it's REALLY goddamn good.

I am a big Zitron fan but I am pretty meh on the episodes of Better Offline I've listened to so far. Ed doesn't really have a conversation with the guest, he just kinda monologues a repeat of his articles and occasionally asks the guest what they think. 15 minutes in hell was much better. But maybe he will improve. (very IMO, I want some parasocial fun from my podcasts.)

Also EZ was a guest on The Distraction recently and that was a delight because the Defector guys are a well-oiled machine.

15 minutes in hell was great because it was so time limited. Could just get some quick info bites then good to go. Any podcasts over 20 minutes get exhausting for me.

I thought that was for Rebirth and it was a day one patch. My backlog of games(including Remake) is insane.

Seriously, any gamers rise up movement was dead in its crib because you just had to show normal people this thing



screaming into the void about the words "they" and "them" and it instantly deflates any molecules of credibility that might have been there at any point.

Okay, I love dunking on Twitter, but you have to admire the optimism in seeing the wave of porn bots sweeping across the site as an untapped pool of business partners instead of an apocalyptic plague devouring an already blighted site.

Hell, they've already got a porn site's name, may as well have their business model too.
