Crash a 44bil company - speedrun any%

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I know what a speed run is, but what’s an any%?

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

It's how they categorize different run types.
"any%" means you just need to "beat" the game, you can use glitches and whatnot.
"100%" means you need to collect all things, unlock all of the things, or hit all checkpoints, whatever "doing 100% of the game" means for that game.

There are also "meme" categories for some games like "sex%" in Baldur's Gate 3, where it's the fastest time to have sex after starting a new game. Right now it's just over 2 minutes.

or nipple% in mario odyssey, where you have to buy the swimming shorts as fast as possible to show mario's nipples.

Wait so they have sex on the Mind Flayer ship? How‽

Edit; Nope, it apparently just takes 32s to complete the ship level….

Any % just means that you wouldn't have to collect all collectibles or complete all side quests.

I can’t believe x is not gonna give it to you. This is just unbelievable.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guess you do have to go get it on your own...

[–] Huschke@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So what you are saying is that X is not going to deliver on their own?

[–] bloopernova@programming.dev 33 points 1 year ago

Did he think everyone was going to just say "ok :(" and walk away?!?

X marks the spot of Musk's downfall.

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 year ago

He's fucked up almost as many times as the orange douchebag, somehow they slime their way out of consequences.

[–] ram@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

One of these suits, filed earlier this year, invokes an arbitration clause in employees’ contracts that, according to Mashable, leaves Musk’s company on the hook for $1,600 in arbitration fees per two-party case, but only requires that former employees pay $400. With over 2,000 cases, the social media network’s arbitration bill alone comes in at nearly $4 million.

X has reportedly refused to pay those bills, either—arguing that it hasn’t required the former employees to move their disputes to arbitration. Now, ex-staffers have filed another lawsuit demanding the company pay the fees associated with their original filing.
