I know it’s extremely uncool to like Ubisoft open worlds, and I understand that they’re formulaic. But man, there aren’t that many devs out there just putting out games with bottomless pits of content (for single player games). And I really like a space where I can just kind of turn my brain off, maybe throw on a…

you are comparing the companies as a whole and not explicitly their gaming business. 

I believe they are referring to the video game market.

I’m talking specifically video game market not total company revenue. including total company revenue would make comparisons inaccurate. for example say google opened a single hot dog stand. if you just go by total company revenue google then becomes the biggest hot dog company in the world even though they only own…

I am basing it on Video Game market share + revenue. when looking at a market you focus on the market itself with any additional utility tools the company has outside that market. in this case the primary outside influences Microsoft potentially has is Bing and their cash on hand. including market share for Operating…

Sony is still making more money than ActivisionBliz and microsoft combined currently. this deal makes microsoft the 3rd largest in the gaming market. blocking this merger is really just providing Sony an opportunity to solidify a monopoly they have been barreling towards since the xbox one flopped.

So he needs to be a controlling asshole? That’s not the vibe he was selling when he endlessly posted about her. I think her point here is that he’s the opposite of what he wants the public to see him as. I think we also need to know the difference between boundaries and rules. They’re not the same. 

Nah, it’s typical deranged misogyny. Imagine following a professional surfer’s Instagram, liking a bunch of her surfing pics, then once you start dating her, going back through all of her pics and sending her specific ones to take down because you think they’re too revealing and pretending that she violated your…

She’s a surfer and she’s not allowed to surf with men or post photos in a bathing suit? Are you kidding me? That goes way beyond boundaries. He’s asking her to change who she is so he doesn’t feel insecure.

Nobody’s getting their money back on that one, Chris isn’t going to sell the yacht his backers bought him.

The mermaid emoji is a Peacemaker reference, right? Particularly Vigilante, IIRC?

If he is throwing down a mermaid emoji it’s gotta be someone from Peacemaker. Maybe he got Freddie Stroma to play Jimmy Olsen?

I was perfectly serious. Thanks for the explanation.

Also a very good argument against smart houses. A strong contributor to my refusal to allow a Nest thermostat in our place.

Shout out to Demon Seed

I was looking for The Demon Seed but it apparently missed the cut. Perhaps it’s an artifact of when I saw it, at around 6 or 7, but it was utterly horrifying to me.

It’s extra laughable because Sony has spent millions making sure the Xbox and PC versions of CoD (and other multiplatform games) were inferior due to missing features and content included with the PS versions. Right now PS+ members get exclusives skins for CoD: Warzone.

Sony is insufferable. They lead Xbox in marketshare 2:1 or better in almost every market except the US. Hell, it’s more than 95:5 in Japan. They’re just being pissy about a game that has already been guaranteed to be on their platform for more than a decade into the future. All this does is make them look weak,…

Rock will continue to do anything for attention
