How much I missed this. The brands are gaining too much confidence again, we gotta start bullying them

110

Unfortunately it is ineffective, since most brands don't bother with such fringe communities, like here.

They already begrudgingly pay minimum wage to have someone write cringe inducing comments on the big platforms. That is, if they aren't just using ShatGPT.

Besides, to be able to bully them, it would also mean they are spamming their crap here, and I don't think it's worth it.

This describes it perfectly. The account handler probably doesn't even game.

My bet is that it's an intern who believes marketing/advertising is a great thing and sees games as "waste of time". Or a 50yo manager who fired the almost-competent PR team and asked their nephew how games worked.

I really hate it when corporate Twitter accounts try to be quirky. Wendy's trolling McDonald's was funny for a bit but even that got old and I blame it for making this sort of thing common.

No wonder airport guards started to break into the toilet after I gave birth to a fist-wide log screaming the same in a sudden mix of terror and glee.

Parody account

...Basically indistinguishable from any regular Twitter account. Why did Elon want these accounts labeled, again?

What exactly is it supposed to be a parody of?

Just because someone uses it to try to be funny, does not make it parody. It doesn’t make it sarcasm. It doesn’t make it ironic. People love to use all of those incorrectly.

Rick Ashley I assume.

I guess they were a parody account of him earlier but they changed their mind later.

Rick Ashley will give you up, he will let you down and he most definitely will run around and desert you.

That’s a lot of schadenfreude you have there. Maybe work on your cultural literacy.

I can almost see the grey face of the marketing intern shuffling out of another pointless meeting to write this, debating whether their health insurance would cover jumping out of the building window.

They tried to say this wouldn't work, but Bob the PM thinks its great and has ordered you to put it through. His only concession to your warning was "well, add an 'lol' or something to make it sound gamery".

No. But I do sing the victory fanfare tune from final fantasy every time I do some small thing. Wash dishes? Victory! Laundry? Victory! Cook dinner? Victory! Take a shit? Victory!

Oh. Oh I'm not the only one. I'm not even an avid FF player; I just played some of the remakes on DS.

The victory tune is burned into my brain, as well as the Chocobo theme.

Ohhhh man I love the Chocobo Theme, and have also played like zero FF games besides XV, which was dogshit. But one of the teammates sings this cute little in-game ad jingle that uses the Chocobo theme, so I hear him singing it in my head every now and then.

This is awesome. I still remember that tune from when I played it. Funny how some people think positivity and imagination aren't excellent things. You keep doing you! And I'm definitely going to be copying your idea!

Ok, if you have a lot of dishes to wash by hand, you deserve a fucking fanfare from final fantasy. That shit is hardwork.

I'm curious as to why you think it's "lame as fuck". Does it harm you? Does it harm them? Does it fucking harm anybody? Does it just seem like a quickly little weird thing that you don't do but others might? The answer to one of those questions is, "Yes".

It has nothing to do with harming anyone lol it’s just my opinion. I’m allowed to have that. I think doing that is lame as fuck.

What I think is hilarious is people going out of their way to say some pretty brutal shit to me over one of the lightest insults ever. People love talking about how lemmys do great but I swear it’s no different than browsing 4chan sometimes hahahaha.

I’m not worried about it as this is the internet and I can take if I’ve just genuinely never been told some of the shit these people felt the need to call me for calling someone lame lol. Fuckin wiiiiild

You're allowed to have your opinion, but you are not protected from the consequences of your speech. That's literally how free speech works. It's just a dick move to come in for no reason whatsoever and rain on somebody's parade. Like you read that comment and decided that you HAD to insult them. It's free to not be an asshole. If people are saying absolutely brutal shit to you over your comment, then they are also being assholes.

My favorite reply I got is “sO iS yOuR eXiStEnCe” as if that disproves how fucking lame someone is lmfao. Edgy fucking losers

For a proper plate of pasta you should at least get +40. If you cooked it yourself maybe even +1 skill point. If you fed someone, "you are now friends".
