Oh sure, but your argument is that a simultaneous release would have guaranteed a bigger sale and not only have you not offered evidence of that, you’ve omitted PS from your post completely aside from the number three, which is kinda weird, no?

It wouldn’t have made a difference to PC players maybe but I was extremely hyped to get my hands on it as a PS player who did NOT get to mess with early access. Delaying it for PS players because the Xbox version had issues would have annoyed me.

okay

Some of this stuff is just... okay? And? Like I see Xbox folks talk about Quick Resume a lot and is it really that big an imposition to wait the half a minute longer for a game to start up? Are you really ever playing three games simultaneously such that it’s a big deal to have to wait while one closes and the other…

And I wouldn’t make that argument. My point is only that the arguments about feature sets tends to ignore VR. And even though I 100% acknowledge how small the audience is for that, it still IS an audience and still IS a feature set argument in favor of PS. If Xbox had decided to get into that realm my decision would…

All due respect to everyone in the continuing Console Wars and with all recognition that I am borderline if not fully a zealot:

I will say that I don’t particularly love the other end of that spectrum, though, where any kind of qualitative discussion of art (obviously I’m mostly talking about film/TV since that’s my area) gets boiled down to “art is subjective”. You can apply critical standards to your analysis. I recognize that standards…

You’re just wrong. Look into it even a little bit. The most common consequence of a dog bite is a lawsuit. IF a dog bites MULTIPLE people, is found to have rabies, is determined by local law enforcement to be a danger, THEN it gets put down. It’s just not “Oh, that dog bit someone? BLAMMO!”

I know. It has been pointed out to me that this was a very unfortunate abbreviation decision. I have regerts.

Tell that to the idiot who used a dog metaphor.

So the vast minority of dogs that are euthanized are because of violent behavior. Of the dogs that exhibit violent behavior, what percentage are taken to a shelter for treatment? (Hint: not the majority) In point of fact, the majority of violent dog attacks result in lawsuits, not “getting put down”.

Cool. Take a breath while I explain to you that the reality is we *rarely* just put a dog down for attacking someone. In the majority of cases wherein a dog attacks someone, the dog is quarantined while a determination is made about why it happened, including the possibility of rabies. Now maybe you live in a part of…

Uhhhh... Do you have a thing about dogs? Cuz that shit is unhinged nonsense. When a dog bites a child you absolutely DO ask questions.

I’m just gonna do the Jon Stewart in Half Baked thing for all of these.

Holy shit, how did I not catch that??? hahahaha...

Yes, I hear myself. Sesame Street was always a clever show that didn’t talk down to kids. I personally found that Elmo introduced an element of talking down. Research suggests I’m wrong, but I’m okay being wrong. I’m not okay with your unsavory implications so you can fuck right off but otherwise (shrug).

I read something similar. That Elmo was closer to how a child would act at the age of children watching the show. And I’m not about to argue with research and science. I will only say that anecdotally when I was a kid I tended to not like characters “my age”. That did eventually change, probably when I got into middle…
