The problem with games based on movies and stuff is that they make barely any money. Not alot of people really play them, and the game developers have to pay a huge amount of the games revenue in royalties to whatever music is used in the games, along with the multiple companies involved with the movie.

[@BroZilla-vh3tu]

Also the fact that Disney shut down their video game division, IIRC they only help with KH games nowadays

The biggest flex in primary school as a girl was showing up with a yorkie, we were so sad as children that we had a 'yorkie club' where we'd take turns to bring them in and share 😭 fuck knows how we got away with it for so long with all the bloody healthy eating policies but truly was the highlight for my six year old self

[@ravenscarlettanis13]

Yeah, screw Jamie Oliver. The man who took turkey twizzlers from all British schools. (I must’ve been really young around then, so I don’t fully remember it. Though, when I went to my first secondary school, they used to serve a supermarket-brand Coco Pops, but then they stopped bc they went under FRICKING JAMIE OLIVER)

[@ShigadyShigadyShwey]

Yorkies made guys think they were manly for eating it and girls think they were breaking down sexism by eating it. The marketing was pretty smart honestly.

Those Christmas savings companies were absolute scams. You'd send them money every month, and they'd give you back about 60% of it at the end of the year to buy your Christmas stuff. Loads of them went bust as well, keeping everyone's money.

Oh my god pontins! I went there a couple of years ago and ended up not staying there. When we got there none of the rooms ready and they were filthy. They basically got everyone in a hot room for 2 hours for them to say we were going to wait for another 3 hours before keys were going to be handed out. We ended up leaving and got a refund and wasted a day driving 4 hours there and back. At least got the chance to go to some national trust places on the drive.
