Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations. Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes. Protect mail-in voting at all cost.

This, but also, note that most of the coverage is framed as tit for tat, when in fact it is āif TX gerrymanders *even more*, maybe CA will decide to gerrymander *at all*ā. As if the status quo is some kind of tabula rasa.

As the lawyer who helped lead the effort to defeat Donald Trump's bogus lawsuits after the 2020 election, I try to imagine how different it would be right now if Fox News had said at the time that Trump lost, period. We wouldn't be dealing with election deniers staffing the White House and DOJ.

and run. For example, California actually has the numbers to pass a state driven African American Reparations Act but they wonāt do it If you wonāt pass tough legislation in California then there is no chance you will take up these positions on a national scale I will only vote for Gavin 2 of 3
I am a moderate born in and live in San Francisco and even I know Gavin is a āCorporate Democratā He has ZERO core beliefs. He takes seemingly progressive positions when there is no resistance, which in California is often easy to do But face any resistance or possible backlash he will cut 1 of 3

Any attempt to arrest, remove, or replace lawmakers who are doing their job ā whether you agree with them or not ā is a dangerous effort to replace the will of the voters with the will of President Trump.

I'm not sure 65-69% of Americans would agree the sun is hot and night is dark, but they apparently agree on this: Americans who say Trump is "very" or "somewhat dishonest" = 69% Americans who say Trump is "very" or "somewhat corrupt" = 65% www.umass.edu/news/article...

This is no time to go high. If GOP states redraw maps, then Democratic states should redraw maps. Give the same energy. They will never play fair or by the rules. Ever.

Them putting all those games on Steam didnāt clue you in on this? Oh wait putting games on PC doesnāt mean your 3rd party publisher in some bizarro world of the media creation The only reason this is news is because the media characterized this business model as bad when Xbox did it Otherwise š¤·š¾āāļø

Anyone who lends credibility to this current corrupt gaming media and their editors deserves the bias coverage they get The gaming media has been actively trying to sabotage Xbox with negative coverage while ignoring negative PS news And by putting PS news and business in a positive light 2 of 2
It isnāt looking into it, it is in fact expanding it. The media has just been covering for PS, when anyone with eyes could see PS was FOLLOWING Xboxās business model just at a slower pace But the media spent all of this time trying to demonize Xbox and ridicule their strategy 1 of 2
Corruption out in the open once again.
Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname āPedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.
tribalism and who have zero interest in objective truth. It either adheres to their preconceived notions or itās rejected And these folks want to point fingers at corporations for acting coldly in their self interest š¤£ Iām sorry but the stench of hypocrisy is just too strong 5 of 5
people that work for them. We have seen the two faces of this community and it aināt pretty. Gaming is burdened with a games media whose goal is merely to chase advertising dollars A content creator community consumed with chasing fame at any and all costs. And gamers who are driven by 4 of 5
they donāt care about canceled games, closed studios, or layoffs. We have seen this very same community, for simply not liking a game personally, wish for a gameās failure We have seen this same community cheer on and wish for the closing of studios they donāt like, with not a care for the 3 of 5
community (hardcore) draws my contempt because they are toxic, tribalistic, uncurious, uninformed, and fervently on one side or the other of the ideological spectrum They arenāt interested in the details of your post, or the nuance of your position. And if we are really being honest 2 of 5
Iām not even trying to broach the subject of malfeasances within the gaming industry I have issues with: - Unethical media coverage - Weaponization of the editorial page - How misinformation fuels ideologues - How critical examination has been defeated by ideology The gaming 1 of 5
Yeah you are allergic to facts. Whenever an ideologue is confronted by them they become nauseated and light headed as the narratives they have an emotional investment in begin to crumble like foundations of sand Donāt worry, most ideologues for a cure just bury their head in the sand at their feet
being dictated by Xbox leadership. Well no shit Sherlock š¤£š¤£š¤£ You and the rest of the gaming media need to just be quiet already Wait let me guess your next video is how Sony and not PS dictated the game cancellations, studio closures, and change in CEO for a 3rd time And water is wet 2 of 2
š¤£š¤£š¤£ Alanah you along with the rest of gaming media donāt have a clue about what is driving MSās decisions about staffing, investment, and or reallocation of resources And this is proven by the fact that you think a video is necessary to explain that recent layoffs by MS is not 1 of 2
There's understandably a lot of justified anger and angst about the state of the industry right now, and a lot of super shitty corporate profiteering, but it would still be great if people could read and think through things a little more carefully before jumping on clickbait.
Virtuos is an art outsourcing/co-dev studio. Their financial reward for a game remains the same whether the game does well or not. They are not the publisher. The publisher would receive the upside, unless the co-dev studio negotiated otherwise. This is about mismanagement more than greed.
I see people up in arms about this story, as an example of corporate greed. The headline itself is irresponsible journalism. Yes, there is a ton of shitty corporate greed right now, but f you write about the game industry, first learn how the economics work. www.eurogamer.net/studio-behin...
I commend you for not pandering to the usual suspects on this app and in the gaming community Iām so tired of media and content creators pushing misinformation for clicks and virtue signaling Some of us just prefer the facts and sound objective analysis š š
Itās also difficult to get a man to understand something when he is emotionally invested in the opposite being true
Nobody bought their PS2 for the dvd player either, but they damn sure used it My Xbox friends list is filled with people on using YouTube, Netflix etc etc But myself I personally donāt use multi media apps via my Xbox. I use them from my tv and my PC
The device used for multi media depends on the end user. If you are always on a PC you probably use that. If you are always on your console then you are probably using that. My ex girlfriend was quite young compared to me and she only watched tv on her phone which I could never get
Loaded question. It just doesnāt matter what you call it. It may matter to Xbox for legal, tax, and tariffs purposes but to the consumer it doesnāt matter The experience and ease of use is what will matter
You are posting on a public platform and are cryingā¦ā¦āprivateā conversation And you are calling someone a weirdo? Does this app have a search engine and whatās its purpose? š¤£ Oh itās dawning on you that yes you are truly an idiot
And you shot yourself in the head Xbox doesnāt own this studio and doesnāt have anything to do with this Are you ready for the talk Dread? Are you ready to examine your bias and personal hypocrisy? š
It still does. You are acting as if Xbox doesnāt have every 3rd party movie app on the known earth
They have tons of 3rd party apps for movies. There is no need for Xbox to have their own.
Gamers use their console constantly for things not related to gaming: Netflix YouTube Spotify Search engine Gamers use their consoles as a multimedia device, so actually gamers who pushed that nonsense about they only wanted a console, simply lied
and most gaming consumers should stay away from them because they do not offer a good value proposition If you have the money to burn then and only then should you consider those devices But smart gamers who value their $, will stay away from most consoles and handhelds 4 of 4
What gamers should be concerned with is streaming cuz servs like that can nickel & dime a subscriber The smart gamer will buy a PC, buy their SP games on deep sales. While the casual gamer will āALLOWā themselves to be nickel & dimed to death Consoles & handhelds will always be over priced 3 of 4
a ācheaper versionā for what I think $600, which is about $100 more than a Switch 2 but with far more versatility But the reality is gaming hardware is no longer cheap. Those days are over and done with. Modular PC hardware is the best way to go, as there are lots of ways to control costs 2 of 4
What does what consoles use to be have to do with what PC handhelds are today? Consoles beginning with next gen wonāt even be mass market devices. They will cost $700 for a base console Stop being stuck in the past and cover the industry from the present. Also Xbox is giving you 1 of 4
The Z2 Go is a budget performance chip so of course there is a difference Doesnāt make it a bad chip
They arenāt for the mass market š¤£ Like this has NEVER been in question Do you honestly think ROG, MSI, Razer, Lenovo, etc donāt know that their $650-$899 devices are not mass market devices? Really bruh? You think they donāt know this?
The Steam Deck does not use the Z2 Go chipset It uses its own custom AMD chipset. The Z2 Go chipset is launching this year alongside the Z2 extreme You mistakenly took some peopleās opinion that the Z2 Go will be on par in power with the custom AMD chipset in the Steam deck. This is not confirmed
The Buddha doesnāt know that. Iām coming back as a Gecko
