… Wensleydale?

They basically endorsed Trump with their latest stunt. Pretty sure they’re shouting the “quiet part” right now.

You can’t turn your TV sideways without a lot of headache and potential damage, though.

I mean, I get your overall point, but the initial analogy doesn’t quite work.

You mean like how Steam does with the Steam Deck?

Consoles these days are basically just PCs with limited development criteria. But a much much narrower library.

Ironically I stopped drinking soda because Pepsi got rid of the only soda I really liked.

This has been a joke since before anything resembling the modern “AI” boom. Basically since murderous future AI was a think in popular media, at least since Terminator if not earlier. People would joke about treating their appliances kindly so that “Skynet” won’t kill them in the future.

Being able to bring your console to someone else to play couch co-op with them makes developing that style much more appealing.

What are the pros and cons you’re considering, and how do they compare to the pros and cons of a Nintendo console?

Partial backwards compatibility, based on their asterisk, at least.

To be fair, it wasn’t especially popular with anyone.

Or, like their entire business model for the last decade or two, they’re focused on competing at a service level rather than trying to push everyone out of the market by force.

Microsoft has made sure to make their library of games available on Steam for a reason. They know they can’t… or won’t compete at a service level.

Some people have been trying, sure. But most just choose to try and prove their superiority by being as obnoxious as possible.

And no, saying what you believe to be right in a condescending matter is not “trying to explain facts”.

Yes, because we haven’t been calling them fools for years, maybe we should try it! Maybe it’ll work and not just drive them further and further away from sanity out of spite!

Playing by someone else’s rules means they dictate the conversation. You have significantly less power. If you want people to act like adults, like reasonable people, try treating them that way.

It may not work, but it’s far more likely to do so than constantly talking down to them.

Do you habitual judge people entirely on their fuckability? I mean, I have little opinion of Asmongold except what I see other people saying about him on the internet, but that seems like a weirdly sexualized take on things.

Which one?

Literally means figuratively now.

Yes, language changes, that is why you don’t rely solely on individual words to define your argument.

The reason people might argue despite agreeing outside semantics is that they never bothered to go beyond a very basic explanation of their argument. If your sole disagreement comes from a differing interpretation of a word… then do your best to define your argument better. Otherwise you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing.

If you like one loud shrill unchanging tune, sure.

We’re always redefining words, that’s how language works. This isn’t even close to the most egregious within the last couple decades.

Can it be filled with… things?
