Trust google at your peril

It really is that simple: No one trusts Google. It has exhibited such poor understanding of what people want, need and will pay for that at this point, people are wary of investing in even its more popular products.

The wake-up call was when google killed google reader, but it was ignored by a lot of people cos it was a free service.

Then there was G Suite (Legacy Free). They got a lot of people to rely on google services and then proceeded to straight up betray them. People still didn’t care cos it was also “free service”.

But now with Stadia people will care cos the cost of this cancellation won’t be paid by google— they already wrote off the money. The cost will be borne by developers who trusted google with their games.

I’m somewhat safe as I do pay for some google services but I am looking for alternatives now. Microsoft is not a particularly viable option.

The best/funniest way they could respond to the backlash is to just replace crisp rat’s voice lines entirely with Charles Martinet making his standard Mario gibberish noises and change nothing else.

Just play it completely straight, leave all the other dialogue exactly as-is

Peach: And so, brave heroes from beyond, I implore you to save our kingdom. You are the only ones who can.

Luigi: What? No… no, that’s crazy, we’re not heroes, we’re plumbers! Tell her, Mario!

Mario: HEEPITTYBIPPITYBOPPITYBUNO

Luigi: You.. You don’t really mean that, do you? You can’t, not after everything that’s happened!

Mario: WAHOO MAMMA MIA

*Mario straightens his hat and grits his teeth as the camera zooms in on his face*

Mario: YIPPEE

I promise as soon as the Mario movie comes out in a format where I can load the video into my editor, I will re-edit it so all of Chris Pratt’s lines are replaced with Mario 64 noises.
