I think the writing is on the wall at this point. Console sales aren't great, and are losing their relevance. Most consoles share the same architecture and it looks like Microsoft is focusing more on making content much like Netflix does. That's probably why they bought (and will keep buying) big game studios and publishers.

Weird, I think the whole PC console game war was relevant when I was a kid and everything was new and cool, but I think at this point the whole "who's winning the console war" feels immature and is holding the industry back.

Like others have said, I don't really give a shit what content runs on, so as long as it runs. Better if things run well and I can take them with me like the deck.

You can make the argument about why it's better to play content on a PC but what's the point of the comparison? Why does it matter who is better? In an ideal world, everything would run great on affordable PCs that everyone has access to, but I don't think we're at that reality.

Wow you wouldn't think so with the way video game employees have been culled

I don't know why our stupid ass congress and judicial system gets a pass on all these issues everyone is so passionate about. I'm not really a Biden fan but what do you want the man to do? Run a gulag? Trump started caging kids and we hated that, so what's the magical solution that exists outside of our legislative branch?

I'm arguably good at a lot of those things but didn't want to persue a PhD because you can see the writing on the wall when you're deep enough into academia. There's a system in place and boy it can get dark and shitty in a hurry.

We paid over $320m for this water bridge that is sensitive to ocean waves because our allies won't let us ship stuff somewhere? Why are we sending these people money again? Is everyone dead fucking broke when they want to do military stuff? Ffs our military complex is a bad joke.

Ah yes, better training for police officers, that ought to fix it.

Bend the knee

Sorry what? You know you can make Mac and cheese from scratch right? It's not too difficult.

Some new competiton would be nice too. I remember when companies like Palm made their own competent OS. I wouldn't even mind if Windows mobile made a reappareance. What do people even need anymore except a versatile browser and the ability to play games?

I don't care for rich folk but the cops definitely got over zealous on this. The police are everyone's problem.

I wonder how my man Gordon is doing...

Grow up

I think these execs are trying to pump up the numbers then cash out. The pandemic and shift to remote work really scared the upper class when they realized people work just fine without them physically breathing down their neck every day.

Not at all, take a deep breath and start assuming best intent or you'll stress yourself out.

Are you OK, son? Nobody said all that.

For people that may be confused or possibly surprised, although MV3 is a shitty Google thing, Firefox should still implement widely used APIs so developers can still write code once that works on (most) any browser. Having to write a "Firefox specific" Web app or extension would cause friction and limit adoption.

If you read this comic and the first thing you're concerned* about is how men feel, you're part of the problem.

Nice to see someone say this out loud. At the end of the day no platform is immune to hive mind thinking or ignorance, but hopefully there are solutions for open platforms to enrich people's lives some.

Now the plug can carry abortion pills instead of just fent and meth.

Did we not learn anything from prohibition?
