Believe it or not, I'm actually a very positive dude irl, just not a fan of pride. Manni's positivity bothers me because it feels disconnected from reality. Stating that a canned set of loadouts for a game that -should be- balanced and diverse, are a sport, is perverse. You too can practice with this hangar, at the low low price of 10B Ag and 6 months of your life for each, or $1000 a pop. |

I'm optimistic in the "everything has a solution/I don't believe in the no-win scenario" sort of way, but I absolutely loath marketing/sales. That element of disconnect with reality is exactly what sets me off. I think what keeps me engaged with the forum is the dissonance between homo economicus and Joe Average. Rational man sees components, upgrade costs and matchmaker; recognizes a hysteric undergoing a psychotic break and says "Thanks, no. I don't sex up crazy." Joe Average turns into Kevin Bacon, hits Random and screams "Thank you sir, can I have another!" Combine that with trying to parse out Pixonic Doublespeak (god bless 1984), and the whole thing is compelling entertainment. Of course that probably labels me as a bit kinked. |

I'm in sales/marketing lol I'd never work for some big time sack of crap on a corporate level though. Effective sales and marketing is when you're promoting a product/service to meet a need. For things that are highly competetive, such as games, whatever niche or genre it fills is only successful if it surpasses, or at the very least, lives up to, the actual demand and need set by the consumer base. I -can- sell fire in hell, but that's just one irked customer added to the lot that isn't going to trust me if I start selling Ice after no one buys the fire anymore. It's why I've been ranting and raving for the last two years at how we're all getting 「fluffernutter」ed for the money we put in. Nah, trolls and morons might try to compare you to a cringey "edgelord" or keyboard warrior if you partake. Honestly I've stuck around for the same reason. I know US's doublespeak, and how the majority of the population here functions, these forums and Pix's brand of bull「dookie」 are just learning opportunities and fun 「dookie」 to dissect. |

...I absolutely loath marketing/sales... I'm in sales/marketing lol That made me laugh. A good salesman is priceless. I just wish more of them had the attitude of an educator or facilitator rather than a carny. |

Give the people what they want/need, but make sure they're cut and dry sure of it. Sales/marketing these days is just numbers and selling the least for the most. I'm too young to feel this old when I say quality product and service are the only things I'm willing to push. The ones that I know fit a consumer need effectively, and that keep people coming back BECAUSE of that eficacy. It's also why healthcare and law services shouldn't be for profit, but that's a campfire discussion. Even a simple phrase like "I know what you need/looking for" is bullcrap jargon in the business world these days. I work in the way that to keep a hundred customers for a thousand transactions, over a hundred-thousand transactions from a hundred-thousand customers that will sneer at the mention of my employer, my business, or my name. |

It's Manni, bought and paid for by Pix, you can't really trust anything he says as it's largely 'free advertising' for Pixonic.
Imagine how long it takes him to sift through videos to cut in the ones that make him look good and make the piss poor weapons look good at the same time.

He works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
He works hard for the money
So don't try to beat him tonight.
He works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
He works hard for the money
So don't try to beat him tonight.
He's out there shilling hard, on the web.
And He wonders where He is
And it's strange to him
Some people seem to have everything
Nine a.m. on the hour hand
And He's waiting for the bell
And He's looking real pretty
Just waiting for Pixonic
He works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
He works hard for the money
So don't try to beat him tonight.
He works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
He works hard for the money
So don't try to beat him tonight.
Four years have come and gone
And He's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need him.
It's a sacrifice working day to day
For youtube monitization, just donations for pay
But it's worth it all
Just to hear them say that they believe him.

Wait, Lloyd Lamar is ace thunder??? Yep. He just started an "Acethunder" channel like a month ago for branding reasons. You didn't know this? ._. |

Yea, he made an announcement on his LlM Youtube that he made a new channel under his Acethunder tag for notoriety's sake. He didn't start uploading on it until a bunch of his subs actually moved over though.
As for here, Ace doesn't come around here anymore.

He's been forbidden to use his license to kill except at Her Majesty's pleasure. Now if she were to be as pissed off at Pixsuckit as the rest of us, well, who's to say what could happen? |

Well...I have been waiting for a new movie... Supposedly they're working on one. What's to come after that one though? We now have a female Doctor Who. Is a female Bond also in the mix? Perhaps a non-white Bond? Off topic, I know. But I just couldn't resist stirring the pot. |

But I just couldn't resist stirring the pot. Idris Elba for James Bond 2022. Idris' name has been brought up several times, but there are at least two problems: 1) Idris is very busy with other projects, 2) He's starting to get a little long in the tooth for Bond. He would be near to 50 years old in 2022. True, Roger Moore was 45 when he started playing Bond, but casting a 50 year old now wouldn't be the best marketing ploy in today's youth oriented market. David Oyelowo is a little younger. Who knows? After this one, the next Bond movie won't come out for a few years. By then, John Boyega might be considered. |

With all of the gritty 「bum-bum」 movies the US has been releasing, he could be a tired old 007 that MI6 hasn't been able to find an adequate replacement for. Charming and suave, but in the "Old" direct and "tired" manner. |

Charming and suave, but in the "Old" direct and "tired" manner. Look at "Never Say Never Again". Although not released by UA and the Broccoli family, it wasn't a bad outing for Sean Connery. |

War Robots an eSport?? Ha!! Even if they push it it dies ignominiously due to Shocktrain, Hellburner and Mercury. What kind of moron is going to want to watch players using magic wands and push button proximity explosions in a player vs player combat game?

As far as War Robots as an E-Sport is concerned, that ship sailed and then sank. Perhaps in the pre Mail.ru days - late 2016 or early 2017, but not now.
