I’m kinda curious what their non-Xbox gamepass numbers are. Everyone knows that console hardware profits are a bit of a wash. I wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft thinks it’s positioning itself to have strong leverage over next gen Cloud-Delivery gaming.

Basically, I’m really curious if Gamepass through Samsung TVs is…

FWIW, you gotta extinguish this nonsense when you can, even if innocent numbers and symbols get caught up on it along the way.  If they include that reference, knowingly or not, and a bunch of fascists buy it anyways, it emboldens developers and anyone privy to the sales numbers to keep doing the thing.  Gotta burn it…

I’d assert that the profit isn’t as important as the market position. Playstation is pretty dominant with their exclusives, and without counterpoints in their own stable, MS might struggle to be seen as a valid console competitor.

[I’m gonna speculate here that the perception of Microsoft might trend towards underpower…

A lot of the criticism in the comment section targeting auxiliary features ignores the context of the times. The big one being the rabid success of the Wii. A massive effort was put into keeping those non-gamer consumers in the market and trying to appeal to them.

I mean, Ariel is still Ariel. If you can’t get over a character representing a person due to specific physical traits, then I recommend against watching Hamilton. It might have been hard to follow Thomas Jefferson being played by a black dude all in a musical, but, I mean, that’s what ACTING is.

*Acting* should be able…

To add on to what was said above, here’s an article with numbers that aid in comparison for the release week(end) of Little Mermaid

Real Talk: how much of Hamilton were you able to sit through before you walked off in disgust?

Were you even able to follow the plot, considering the abhorrent dissonance of representation?

All the same though - deviating completely from how the laws actually are - what good are societal structures if they produce more harm than good for society. Private property ownership is a good concept because applying the same rules across all people makes for a more-harmonious society.

Same deal with the artist…

I think one reading here is that Goku’s relationship with food is virtually always humorous and never deprecating. On the flip side, Bridgitte, one of the few non-traditional female body shapes in an industry has a personality that is partially-if-not-mostly defined by her relationship with food where it’s framed as a…

In fairness, both her parents had successful careers in finance.  Betting that’s the differentiator here.

I mean, if we’re honest with ourselves, none of the Diablo series have good storylines. Some might disagree, but, for the first two, at least, all you’re doing is squeezing a plot out of a handful of cutscenes. That’s barely a novella’s worth of lore, a trope-y one at that.

Rather, no one’s playing the Diablo series…

Pattern-less means that if you tiled an infinite bathroom, essentially, if you traced a line of tiles, they wouldn’t consistently repeat themselves.

Obviously, some tiles will be in the same orientation, and some tiles may even link-up with other tiles in exactly the same way. That said, even those “Chunks” of tiles…

The question in court is basically whether Microsoft acquiring Activision-Blizzard is anti-competitive behavior. If it is, couldn’t the argument be made fairly easily that Sony regularly engages in anti-competitive behavior? With that in mind, it goes on to dominate the Japanese market and become the heavyweight in…

Or, y’know, you can read things at face value. Letting Microsoft themselves feed her lines IS probably the best tactic she can interpret since it’s very likely that they’ve done the best research for the situation and that she wouldn’t want to inadvertently undermine whatever Microsoft is trying to pull at this moment.

…

Even if she wasn’t paid to do so, as Senator, I feel like she still has an obligation to represent and support people, businesses and industries in her state. Honestly, I’d find it weird if she doesn’t go to bat for Microsoft to at least some degree - if nothing else, it’s virtually certain that the rank-and-file…

Pretty sure that the “mobility solution” is for low-flexibility drivers, especially the elderly who aren’t keen on the hand-over-hand maneuvers required for everyday driving. Especially coming out of increasingly-elderly Japan, this is what I’m betting on.

I’m personally aiming for a world where the current version of Activision Blizzard no longer exists but their IPs do. I’m fine if this comes about via the Microsoft acquisition.

To keep up nitpicking, the equivalence here would be 2:1 as 66:33 or 67:33, seeing as the previous poster was running with portions of 100

To be fair, if you are playing on Hard mode or Maddening, it might be assumed that you don’t need to get this sort of reference information from a throwaway line in a blog article.

All that said, isn’t technology to the point, now where it’s hypothetically possible to game somewhat independently of local PC hardware limitations, given a decent internet connection and Cloud Gaming capability?

An easy way to game at the office is using wireless controllers and a more-surreptitiously placed switch…
