Honestly... they don't. I think Microsoft will eventually go to a PC pre-built with a OS on it. "But isn't that a Console?" I mean I had an alpha, On my alpha I had a versions of windows that immediately booted into the Alpha program for ease of use. I stopped the alpha program and my wife uses it as a work computer (a weak one so she can pull up documents).
I don't see a future where Microsoft makes a different OS than Windows, makes a hardware setup that isn't off the shelve parts. MAYBE a specialized motherboard with a chip set. But ultimately, I think IF they make a "Console" it's going to be a Windows machine with set specs that don't change, and an OS that is just for gaming, maybe with some way to dockerize the software so you always get the same experience every time you run it.
Sony and Nintendo will keep making Consoles, for sure, but Microsoft has no benefit in making a console. And before someone says what I described is a console, Xbox can't play PC games, what I'm describing is a windows machine playing windows software. When you make Xbox software currently you make software that ONLY can run on an Xbox... but why? You already are making a Windows build so you can ship a Windows version, so why not only make the windows version and have your console just be a windows machine in an OS that will giver players a consistent experience.
Ooof. I wonder if she was going to try to be a doctor.... and I wonder how ethics boards and such will view actions like these. Probably just blew up her entire career with some stupidity.
I know most people want "New cars" and fine, go chase that over priced luxury, but I'd rather a car that's 1-2 years old that's dropped more than half the price, and being passed over because new shiny thing came out.
People shouldn't have to drive beaters, but buying a car for 10k isn't a bad decision unless you're extremely well off our only care about status symbols.
Like there's a reason I was able to buy a house, and a good job helped, but also my wife and I lived with in our means, which is something I feel that isn't talked about in the consumerism age. (You can buy something new, but for most things you don't need a yearly iphone/car/or anything. A good 50 inch tv works well for a tenth of the price of the newest one. ) And yet I see people complain about not having a lot of money yet they're always talking about the newest graphics cards, newest tvs, and newest tech.... I wonder why.
I just can't remember exactly. I did find http://c64clicker.com/ which is an old one (And a good one) There was a great game called Pixel This or Pixel That like that where you drew art, but apparently it's been lost to time (source code might be out there, but doesn't seem hosted)
Hope that helped, and if you find it, let me know because I remember it was a solid game.
If you were devoted to democracy and the constitution, then you're remember that in this country there's a presumption of innocence, as well as right to a trial. But I mean you must know that since you're so devoted right?
And thinking I'm a Trump supporter because I simply want him to legally be found guilty before we bar him from public office... I guess if you aren't completely on your side, then you must be an enemy, kind of a shitty way to live your life, but you do you.
It is. I'm sorry your opinion of this shit doesn't matter. Legally he's allowed to run for president, the minute he's not he should be stripped of it. It's not your decision it's the courts.
Trump is, along with many co-defendants, disqualified from holding any civil or military office.
Want to prove that? Last I checked he's not been found guilty of any crime?
Would you support this if it was Biden or Hillary in the same legal situation? How about we respect the judicial proceeding and stop trying to jump the gun, before it's made into a political maneuver?
Though I think the core reason cable sucked was that it was a subscription with mandatory minimum periods, like a year or whatever.
You can "think" anything, but that wasn't a thing for most places I lived, nor a big problem. But if you're going to make up your own problem and say it doesn't exist now, ok.
UAW has been around for almost 90 years, they should be collectively bargaining for all their workers. 80 years, and they still are overworked... considering that's the point that everyone seems to agree they think a union is supposed to solve, they probably should have figured something for that in all that time?
There's a lot a union does, but if their purpose is to avoid letting workers get fucked over, I think most people would agree 60-70 hours a week is getting fucked over.
Netflix was awesome, but we've returned to the age of cable. The good news is now you CAN choose ala carte. The bad news? All the channels suck, and almost none have what you're looking for.
Wait over worked that bad? Every time someone is overworked people say "Unions are the solution".... UAW is one of the most powerful out there, so why are they being overworked if a union is supposed to solve all these problems?
I wonder if this is just a Hail Mary to try to stop the fear that the merger will make Microsoft the most dominant face in streaming.
Even if it's agreed upon, it just means in two generations once internet speeds reach where they need to be for streaming to be feasible, Microsoft will get those rights back. Streaming means next to nothing today, but the fear is in a couple generations, that's going to be the future of gaming, especially seeing how much publishers want to stop gamers from owning anything.
