I am still waiting for a day of no frills EVs or just more no frills cars in general. Less crap in the way to repair and whatnot. But all I see passing car lots are bigger vehicles that look like they have so much stuff in them.
We need like a Kirkland brand EV. Unless I am an idiot and people don't want stuff like that.
I thought I read over a decade ago the main strategy in Republican campaigns is to convince young people to just not vote. As it's easier to convince someone not to do anything than it is to convince someone to do something for you.
Sad, I had a list of candidates I wanted to see on both sides. Which probably wouldn't have mattered as I would have been leaning towards Tulsi likely most of the time compared to others in my list
That sounds like a fun job being the Game Pass negotiatior. That must be a rabbit hole no one will ever know about of all the weird wheelings and dealings and language used.
If you ever want to dig up a hot mess I recommend the deals with Hasbro/EA/Fantasy Flight Games.
One example is FFG could make any star wars product they wanted as long as it wasn't classified as a board game or video game. So they made "miniatures", "cards", and "apps" but no board games or video games despite them obviously being so 😆
The other weird deal was vendors had to buy Star Wars products through third parties for some reason but not direct from the maker
I do run a game store nowadays and it's interesting to see diehard board games on message boards get confused why their favorite games sell so poorly compared to more mainstream titles. 😌
Isn't Diablo 4 one of the top profitable games this year (if you include extra transactions), and are there deets on how much Overwatch 2 makes in a month?
Naturally gamers here don't care, but I imagine much like Madden or Fifa the mainstream buys tons of Blizzard stuff.
When I did in home jobs decades ago there were quite a few people who played Warcraft and not even remotely familiar with other games let alone how to use their PCs
Has any info been leaked about how much money Xbox pays companies to have their titles on game pass?
I have trouble figuring out what keywords to search online.
In the past I recall Microsoft paid $10 million for a one year exclusive to GTA 4 DLC, and in that court case it was revealed Epic paid $1.3 million for the Batman games for the free week.
I can only imagine MS pays From Software Monthly, and I can also surmise MS knows how many digital downloads sell so they have leverage in negotiating a price with From Software.
Unless no one cares enough about thos to dig, or the info is public on their shareholder financial statements and I'm too dumb to find it.
The most pleasant surprise I had with my 8bitdo pro 2 is it works with my switch, PC and Steam deck with a flick of the dual. So in less than a few minutes I can switch from MK8 with 4 controllers, to Sonic All Star Racing on PC, then to Trine on the deck with the same 3 controllers.
It would be interesting to see it all lead up to some master plan like Elon gaining some hug political favor or something with all his actions with someone.
At least she landed back in Gotham City to help Batman in TAS (she voiced the doctor)
