That was my read too. It seemed too nonsensical to mean that they’re not doing it at all because consoles can’t handle it. If that’s really the case, well, another thing to hold against consoles.
You realise chemicals is just a scary science word that doesn’t need to mean anything bad? You can make your point without making it sound like some scientist is deliberately trying to poison you. Water is a chemical for fuck’s sake.
I’m left wondering one thing though, if the game was going to require PSN then it was arguably never supposed to be available in these countries in the first place? Seems like a pretty big fuckup that it was, then baiting a ton of people.
Those episodes were so good. I was at my gfs place and made her watch it. When he got to reading the manual pointing out prewash, she shouted “oh my god” paused the video, went into the kitchen. “Oooh”. Hers did indeed have that :D It’s not easy to find powder around there either so she’s taken to mortaring tablets and using a bit of that.
Honestly being bullied for a weird name just feels like victim blaming. It’s just someone else’s shitty behaviour we’re expected to dance around? That was the one problem with the name.
I’m sad to report it’s very much not limited to America. My local university had these things pop up to some considerable height because one of the buildings was condemned due to mold. Condemned about three years ago and is still standing. There’s also a number of schools using these things because they burned down or got condemned or whatever, I’m not entirely sure. At least one of those has been going two years longer than it was supposed to.
Yeah your anecdote doesn’t catch the vast majority of people that this shit exploits though. Seriously, blaming the whales isn’t a useful argument to convince people this shit is cancer, it’s just a oh we can’t do anything about it cop-out.
