Microsoft sees Sony with many in-house developers who create AAA hype and profit, like Naughty Dog or Guerilla Games, and they want the same. But instead of growing their own teams, like Sony did, they are buying any reasonably sized developer with the hope that the purchase doesn’t affect the final product. Microsoft has been very hands off with the studios that it buys, except Bethesda because Todd needs a babysitter, which reflects this approach of owning but not controlling the studio.

Microsoft doesn’t seem to think that firing the people who make the games we love, like Tango Softworks and Arkane, will cause any harm to their brand because they are the monolith Microsoft.

Yeah, but that boy’s family is a joke and he barely has any supervision at home except for his physical abusive father.

Don’t walk around the block, using public sidewalks that would evade trespassing. That would look like prey being circled and the resident of Berwyn IL doesn’t want to be nervous. Crowds saying one name circling the block would be too much for them!

Vivek does all the work and Elon will take all the credit.

They had a flag! Why call them anything other than Nazis protesting outside Anne Frank theater performance? Corpo-fascist apologists.

Like the cream of the crop, the loftiest turds float to the top.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this, like others, and found one kernel of hope to hang onto: the only way to know a democracy is safe from internal threats is to test that democracy. This is that test. This is the tyranny of the minority that the founding fathers were worried about. This is the stress test for democracy and I pray wiser men have stymied the most malicious people in American history.

If we get through this, and are faced with another Reconstruction period, we must be diligent and exterminate bigotry and corporate undermining of government bodies.

Real justice is only applied to non-right wing extremists. We live in a time where actions are allowed if it moves the politics of the people - in this case being a left wing activist who is peaceful will get you out in a watch list and have covert government agents infiltrated to monitor the next march while being a right wing extremists who tries to actually murder government agents will receive a visit by the sheriff for recruitment. The left is being actively subdued while right wing actions are encouraged or given leniency.

The most dangerous thing to a right winger is having actual justice applied to them.

She may get a bill for all the money she has received thus far for her social security payments.

I am safer by not giving my information to a company that can’t stop hackers from revealing all the details about the people who have PSN accounts. Sony just throws our data and privacy into the void and doesn’t actually care about the loss. They either need bigger fines on a more consistent frequency levied against them or they need to drop the PSN account requirements and learn how to make money like they did before PSN.

The CEO explanation is why I haven’t purchased any Sony games since Helldivers 2. The first time they were greedy with customer data was enough to know that one of the most hacked companies in the world isn’t concerned with the safety of others. They want all that juicy usage data and are losing money by not having a team compile the insights and selling it by the first weeks after launch.

Sony is a parasite.

There’s a couple parts to it. It’s black and white, there is no grey area or mixed results. The Yes is white.

These look like they are after Palworld was released. Was Nintendo just sitting on the patent since Pokeman red/blue? What an unintuitive legal system they have over in Japan.

Why are there dates in the corners?

My daily driver is Lipton Orange Pekoe. It’s fantastic and priced right for what it is. My rainy day sipping tea is a Taiwanese Fujian black tea.

Or visited Mar A Lago and asked to use the bathroom.

Maybe they just want a quick handy? Jeebus, the prudes are so focused on butt stuff.

Give us the names of the people responsible so they can be barred from the community. This is too many times the DNC has followed the appeasement strategy by crossing the aisle and trying to sway R voters. Their ideas don’t work. They cost us our rights and freedom each time they are wrong so they can’t afford to be so consistently out of touch with what works.

Let me take a different angle: good, the FBI found someone who is both stupid and willing to be stupid against other people. You know who doesn’t blow up infrastructure? Literally every sane person. The FBI did a service by catching this far right terrorist. The terrorist was stupid to accept flying bombs and then broadcast their intent to do stupid shit. They deserve to be arrested. The FBI can’t make a person act stupid, they just lay out the tools and let the idiots hurt themselves.

The United States has a few chip fabs that are capable of making military grade hardware. It’s helpful that the defense industry uses chips which aren’t the most advanced possible - they want the reliability mature tech provides. Micron, Texas Instruments, ON semiconductor - there are a few domestic chip companies with stateside fabs.

Intel is also a valuable collection of patents and a huge number of companies would love to get them. Someone will want to step in before the government takes over.
