Why aren’t more people freaking out about the new Venezuelan labor law?

You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?

It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

This new photo from The Elder Scrolls Online shows just how hard Zenimax is destroying the Morrowind lore in only one picture >http://rpgfanatics.tumblr.com






Okay I did some research and the only source I can find for this post is an angry user posting it on a random forum. It contains font that’s not original (TES games have always had an original font) and the text is significantly lower quality than the rest of the image. Between that and the original location, I can say with almost 100% certainty that this is faked.

Great. The font definitely looked suspicious, not to mention the dialogue window being the exact same one as Skyrim. Name not standing out, little difference between dialogue and possible answers, etc…
Now we can go back to having fun wondering how Mr Curio got his hands on a TARDIS.

Okay is this legit? I can’t find the original.

I certainly hope it’s not. The font used, and the same “background” as Skyrim’s dialogue look kind of suspicious to me. But given TESO’s take on the lore so far, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was legit, sadly.

I thought to myself when I saw this, “no. This has to be some one being silly. This has to be something some one fabricated to make microsoft look worse and people just aren’t checking the source.”
NOPE. IT’S REAL.
AND IT GOT WORSE:

WHAT.

I want everyone to think long and hard on this information.
This means that you are not buying your games.  You are paying 60+ dollars to rent the games from Microsoft, and they can take their game back whenever they feel like it.
You will not own your game.  You will not own your console.  Essentially, Microsoft is saying “We can disable your games and cut you off from accessing your console whenever we choose to.”  Because a ban that locks your XBox Live account means that you will be locked out from all non-game functionality of the system, and by revoking your ‘licenses’ on all your games associated with your account, they can then disable each and every game you own for the system.  Leaving you with a five hundred dollar cable receiver.  Or, in the case of most users of the console, a five hundred dollar paperweight.
All because you accidentally walked into some online glitch and the rest of the players rage-report you for cheating.
This is unacceptable.  Buy any console but an XBox One.  Do not support Microsoft’s sudden belief that they own everything despite our purchase of it, and we have to prove we’re worthy of being shared with by paying exorbitant fees and jumping through constant hoops and hoping someone doesn’t report us for cheating because we made them mad in an online game.
Tell Microsoft ‘No,’ and do not give them your hard-earned money for what amounts to a video game subscription service with a $500 starting fee and $60+ dollar purchases.

Signal boost

It’s like they love shooting themselves in the dick.

This only solidifies my theory on Nintendo and PlayStation hypnotizing them
