100% agree with your message, but just for clarity's sake I believe you meant "the intolerant will eventually 'seize'" as in take, like a seizure of assets. Cease is putting an end to something.

Normally I wouldn't bother to correct someone, but the irony of the mistake is that it contradicts your intended message by saying that if you tolerate intolerance, it will cease to exist.

I would agree with your last statement, but in the case of Xbox i think it is by design. They already excitedly talk about windows handhelds being the future and its because the console market has almost always been a loss, even back to the Sega selling massively under production cost to try and take ground from Nintendo. Games were always what made the profit.

In the case of Xbox, their business model for a long time has been moving to a live service streaming model, i don't think they want to be in the console market. If they can move their app on all kinds of devices, they can skip the investment of the console and instead focus on what the real profit driver was all along.

They have some greatest hits too, like repeating that higher education tends to come with a left leaning bias. I don't think they realize why there is a correlation between education and those politics, but it certainly isn't what they think it is.

The MTX items are in game, the rumour that you can't fast travel and stuff blatantly false.

Capcom did some scummy shit, but the reason they(the press) didn't know is because even now post release the game makes no mention of them.

The limited travel, resurrections, and the currency for pawns were all in the first game and they all feel just as common in my experience.

So fuck Capcom, but the game does deserve the reviews it got imo. However, they also deserve all the backlash they are getting, because they intentionally kept it quiet. They knew players would be upset. It's gross.

Ironic calling it suyu given the context, no?

I've been saying this to my friends for a good while. I would take it even further than that too.

My prediction has long been that since they were thinking about getting rid of it anyway, and they are shifting focus, that what you predict will happen and that eventually either Xbox will not exist or the Xbox of the future will just be a streaming dongle like the firestick. Just a little app store with controller and you stream all of your games over wifi.

They sell it for dirt cheap and no legit console can compete for basic gaming. Sony will still have a hardcore market, especially with vr and their first party titles, but most of the casual crowd would buy a 50-100 dollar "Xbox" so fast and just pay for game pass. It is a no brainer for Xbox, consoles are always a major loss of money and they don't want physical media anyway.

Edit: "We have a different vision for the future of gaming. A future where players have a unified experience across devices. A future where players can easily discover a vast array of games with a diverse spectrum of business models. A future where more creators are empowered to realize their creative vision, reach a global audience, unite their communities, and succeed commercially. A future where every screen is an Xbox."

While they announced new hardware they were real hush on it, just that it would shake up the industry. While I'm sure they would say that regardless and a lot of people say a handheld, either way I don't think it's just a console. A handheld would allow exactly my prediction to be possible but it wouldn't be as cheap.

That quote feels like it nails exactly what I expected though. It might be some time but I do think it will happen and their whole narrative seems to be moving away from Xbox being a console.

I think you could benefit from having this explained.

"Leopard Eating People's Faces Party refers to a parody of regretful voters who vote for cruel and unjust policies (and politicians) and are then surprised when their own lives become worse as a result. It has been commonly used to parody regretful Brexit and Trump voters."

It has nothing to do with Caitlin's actual face and it is a perfect example of what type of content is relevant here.

I'm an American living in Denmark. Everyone here knows how to drive them even if their current car is automatic. They are becoming more popular, though.

Pretty much as you would suspect. In the late 30s they changed over to manufacturing for the war effort, business was booming for them, turns out war makes a lot of money. Eventually they were making bearings and tools for Germany. Allies found out started targeting their factories and they moved them. Got bombed again after moving.

I don't see anything wrong with being gay or a pervert. Might just be me but I'd put my money on most people being "perverts" by any definition a delusional prude could come up with. Nothing wrong with coming onto anyone either, actually. I've been hit on by men, and while I'm not interested I was flattered. Respecting their response to your flirtation is what matters.

The only real thing that could be an issue in this fever dream of a comment is if he repeatedly did come onto him but I have to say there is no shot I'm going to take anyone with all of your bias seriously. Jobs had a few screws loose and I would be willing to believe that the reason he would turn anything down is because he believed his alternatives would cure him. However I'm also willing to acknowledge my own bias, because I don't think the man deserves the respect he gets, he seemed to do nothing but take advantage of others around him to get what he wanted.

Step back and ask yourself do you really think that being gay or being a pervert is an issue or are you just told to think it should be? Is it really a thought point you came to on your own? Or maybe when he came out the article you read on it was written by a journalist with homophobic undertones and you internalized the homophobic response, after all it's going to be easy to do if you already believe that gay = bad.

It can be scary to think for yourself, especially if the people around you do not try to do so and be open minded themselves. You'll feel lonely and isolated by the people closest to you, I've been there and it was hard. I hope you can change for the better and maybe you'll be a little less miserable, in my experience I grew to be happier and less lonely in the long run.

Ah man, I feel like I'm coming down with a video format

Yeah I think you're right, and it was apparently actually random. The longer it would play a loop the more it would iterate. Such a cool thing to exist
