If I'm following the logic from the other guy, I think that it would be "Microsoft ecosystem", not "XBox ecosystem", since they're removing the specific platform, and adding the company. Which I think works.

Narrator: She did, in fact, take no for an answer.

Have you checked the authors? Maybe it's just one, really exhausted, parent who's super done with the whole thing :P

Oof... I forget how hard Frost can hit sometimes...

Ah. Account I read must have been a simplified version, probably for kids. Or I just forgot. Pretty sure I got it from D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths

I thought he was autosexual/romantic, if anything. This is the "stare into the water admiring his own face until he dies" guy, right?

Fairly certain that it's gonna be a CFO of like... A car company. Within the realm of sovcit stuff, I find this one to be rather coherent, but maybe I've just been reading these for too long. He's basically saying: in order to pay the "John Doe" debt, grab the money from the super special secret money account of "JOHN DOE", and do that every month until it's paid off. Relatively normal stuff, except that he should probably be asking the credit department instead of the CFO, and also that the super secret money account never existed.

While I do agree with what you're saying, and it's a way of reading it I hadn't considered, I don't think the distinction is clear from the meme. Then again, it's just a meme, so my expectations can probably stand to be lowered a bit.

This might be heresy, but I feel like saying that "science isn't truth, it's the search for truth", and "if you disagree it's not a disagreement, you're just wrong" is internally inconsistent.

Archangel mentioned once or twice in canon, probably a couple more times in the apocrypha

It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).

Depends on the bear for me. Black bear? I'll take that over a man any day (am a man). Polar bear? Yeah, no. I don't want to be within 1000 miles of a polar bear. Grizzley? Haven't decided, probably leaning towards wanting the bear, unless it actively hates me for some reason
