MS reputation when it comes to gaming ain’t that bad. They scored some wins over the last two years with lots of decent titles available day 1 on GamePass while Sony is stuck doing remaster after remaster. Nintendo isn’t doing all that hot either reputation-wise. So maybe not great but the bar is set low.

Honestly it’s freaking weird how bad XSX is doing compared to PS5 - both are about the same performance-wise unlike previous generation, games are cheaper thanks to GP and there’s such an overabundance of games that lack of exclusives doesn’t hurt that much. I guess that’s just inertia from previous gen but even then Xbox is a budget conscious pick so you’d imagine they’d sell better.

I no longer believe you can make crowds move just with propaganda without serious underlying issues affecting societies as a whole. CIA probably helped it, China probably did something similar. Both are pretty crappy in terms of civil liberties so I don’t have favourites.

Uh, HK protests weren’t that peaceful.

The true lesson is that a protests won’t amount to much if you expect elites to step down on their own.

This is a Hori product, official Nintendo camera is much better (but also kinda overpriced).

It’s not a dog whistle if everyone knows precisely what it means.

If you don’t want to see their faces you have to stay in the lead.

I like muted looks since it goes into a living room. Bought XSX over PS5 for this reason (among others).

As to usefulness, it’s a toy. Making faces while overtaking someone in Mario Kart for all to see is pretty funny.

If I had to guess it’s to differentiate itself from the biggest „Europe” community that is pretty Zionist and to make Zionists feel unwelcome here, which is very based endeavour.

They see all the money Valve and EA is making on gambling, they’d be stupid not to try it too.

EA is considered to be relatively okay place for devs to work at - no crunch, okay salary, predictable environment. It won’t be automatically replaced by a better one.

I’m not sure how that solves the problem.
