I’m pretty sure OP is one of those people who thinks “meme” means any picture with text with absolutely no further defining characteristics.

There’s always one.

EA rarely makes good use of the devs it consumes and destroys, unfortunately. This isn’t even the first racing team that I was a fan of they’ve destroyed. Hell, it’s not even the first British racing team they’ve destroyed. They’re truly a plague on the industry.

While I definitely hope the people laid off all land on their feet, having a handful of people from a large team show up at another studio doesn’t really do anything for us. We’ll never get another DriveClub or OnRush or Dirt 5 because the magic that team made has been scattered to the winds.

In a perfect world, sure, but I only know of one time when most of a team stayed together after being laid off and that was when Sony shut down Evolution Studios and around 80% of them were picked up by Codemasters. It’s not likely to happen again and the Nacon has multiple fully staffed racing teams, including the one that made the WRC games before EA bought Codemasters and destroyed them.

Why is the pretzel upside down in #2? You don’t wear pants on your head.

I wouldn’t hold your breath. Word is, those recent EA layoffs hit a lot of the Codemasters people, including the teams working on their rally games. They mostly kept the F1 team because that series inexplicably sells tons every release (never been an F1 fan myself, but there does seem to be an appetite for those games). Anyone not on the F1 team was moved to another internal EA team whose name escapes me at the moment and they’re working as a support team for others.

I’ve never understood xtian and xmas. Jeebus supposedly got nailed to what they call a cross, but was really a lowercase t. The abbreviations that would make sense to me would be tian and tmas. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Pretty sure that’s the exact premise of a Black Mirror episode.

Don’t worry, they’ve got a cream for that now.

I’ve had a OnePlus phone during that time and they had the same option.

It looks the same on my 2024 Moto G Stylus. In fact, the battery icon with the percentage next to it has been an option on every Android phone I’ve used for the past decade or so, at least.

I feel like you’re trying to set us up the bomb.

Eldritch, but you’re absolutely right. These people are literal monsters in any meaningful definition of the word. I can’t conceive of any human having a void where their empathic sense should be, yet here we are, with a disturbing number of such assholes running around.

What kind of pizza are you making from powder?! And what kind of powder are you using? Baby powder? Talcum powder?
