For those that don’t know there are 4 major news papers in NYC. Two are read mostly by people outside of NYC. Those are The New York Times and the Wall Street journal. And two are read by New Yorkers. Those are the NY Daily News and the NY Post. And wouldn’t you know it, two of them are left wing and two are right wing.
Pointing to this paper is like pointed to the Village Voice or some other faggot paper. And I’d imagine most of the people who read this story were thinking “wow that nutjob chopped off his dick,” and not “yassss slay queen.”
Microsoft is not leaving the console space. They are a dominant force in work and home offices. The Xbox acts like a Trojan horse and grants them access to the living room.
They have hinted that they view the future of consoles to be like cellphones. The come out with a new model every year, you buy one and, it has forward compatibility for a few years. With consoles becoming glorified X86 prebuilt PCs, they are right about to achieve their vision. And you think they will quit right at the finish line?
What people miss is that the CEO was going to spin off Xbox because Microsoft had to keep supporting it. Phill Spencer convinced him that they can reverse the direction of support and have Xbox prop up Microsoft.
So what does that mean for the future? It means that the Xbox console isn’t going to be the center of their world. The game pass/cloud gaming system will be. Xbox the system will stick around and be a leg of the stool. It acts like an easy on-ramp into their ecosystem.
They think the end times are right around the corner. They think, “fuck it, let’s slit America’s throat open and drink the blood.”
It’s the national equivalent of quitting your job, taking out credit card debt, and waiting for Jesus to show up 5 Sundays from now.
As an adult I count game play hours as this:
Total number of fun hours - total number of bullshit filler hours.
Once you think of game length like that you realize most games are wasting you time. I’d rather play a 10 hour game that is all fun than a 20 hour game that has 15 hours of filler.
What do you mean there is no where and no one to train draftees? Just train them like regular sign ups. Every branch except the marines is missing their recruitment targets. We have the capacity for them. Yeah we can’t draft like WWII but that doesn’t mean they won’t just start snagging kids to fill in the gaps.
Don't be so blackballed. Sri Lanka's government was literally overthrown over this issue. We aren't talking about some small issue here. Fertilizer is one of the most important things for a farmer. This is literally a life or death issue.
If they pushed this through anyway the farmer would have nothing to lose.
