I agree with the old man. That cat has a big pair of fuzzy ones.

Cats will square up with a bear like they’ve got something to prove, but the minute the vacuum comes out, they act like the end of civilization is here.
That cat looked back like, “You boys got this on tape?” 😂🐈‍⬛

@IsaiahLCarter Legal bias.
I defend my home and kids, it's 2 years of legal bs and a DA that tries running the account dry.
Yet Mr scholar 12 year old killer uses a PD, gets out in 6 months.
Thats done all over on purpose for a reason. Breakdown tactic.
I'll take the 2 year Bs. Others will not.

@ALegendaryDrops I check the discussion board. Seen reviews get botted.

In there you see what's currently the issue with players. After muting the representation posters and hitting refresh that is.
I'll check the reviews after if ever.

@davepl1968 That's ok. In a few months though you'll meet a real friendly intern.
My only advice would be avoiding the agent named Cigar.

An indie game called Spanking Exorcist has been delayed after running into issues with Steam’s review process.

The game, a comedy-horror title about exorcising ghosts by spanking them, was supposed to launch on July 24.
But dev says Steam has repeatedly questioned whether some of its content is too sexual, delaying its approval.

Instead of just posting an apology, the developer took the joke further and released a free mini-game where players can spank the developer’s own butt as an apology while they wait for the full game.

@PirateSoftware Yea just tried. Have a guy i bs with on his morning runs before i start and instantly went looking in the same place when the link was down.
Too many eggs in one basket.

[SvegetaX @SvegetaX]

Both should of been on an asic/fpga daughter card using the available 4x/8x pcie lanes thats vendor agnostic.
Dev's need to also refuse using single vendor only features not part of the DX/VK feature set.

The problem for Jensen is he thinks people still want a single winner.

Ray-Tracing had ruined and held back gaming for the last 8 years. Since then, the meager visual improvements have been met with the astronomical performance and costly hardware requirements. Tanking FPS and making games crawl.

Physics were the future, and everyone dropped it for shiny puddles and lights that looks pretty much the same.

@HVACSEO @ecobuildhvac You and i both know AI hasn't come up with this kind of stupid on it's own. Only man has.

Only thing you can do about this one, is crack a cold one with a work partner, sit on a ledge together, and pat eachother on the back.

@shitpost_2049 Yea. Between 2007-10, we had to deal with the "not in my backyard" nut jobs. They would shoot at towers with Climbers on it.

@EndWokeness Well thank god they had a camera in the "bad guys" car.

[SvegetaX @SvegetaX]

@davepl1968 @OrgChaosForever Long Kiss Goodnight with Geena Davis is another good example. I don't even think I've met a guy who dislikes it.

She (actress in SG) also pulled a zegler. They do that on an expected 500mil movie. Take 250 off the top.

@nut_history To be fair looking at flush, blush, and body language.
Dude looks like he got caught cheating, knows he's in trouble, while she still emotionally processing it.

On the flip. She did, he's done, and this is her Olive Oil from Popeye.

Direct from the horse.

[ASHA @asha_shar]

This is an important email I sent today to all employees at XBOX:

Team,

We are beginning the most significant restructure in XBOX history. After careful consideration, I've made the difficult decision to reduce our team by approximately 3,200 throughout FY27. This will include approximately 1,600 role eliminations today, and in addition, four studios will leave XBOX to new management. I recognize that a year-long restructuring creates additional challenges. Unfortunately, it is not possible to make all the necessary changes in a single day, and I wanted to be direct about the scale.

I know this is painful. These changes will directly affect people who have poured their creativity into building XBOX. Many joined us through acquisitions, while others were recruited here, or sought us out because they loved this industry and loved XBOX. Today's decisions do not reflect their talent or dedication.

Our business today is not healthy. We are operating at margins that are 3–10x lower than comparable platform and publishing businesses. We entered Gen 9 with a smaller install base and a higher cost structure. To grow, we bet on Game Pass, multi-platform, and a broader portfolio of content. While those businesses have created meaningful value, they did not grow at the pace we expected. As that happened, our core business weakened, and we added more teams, more investment, and more time, hoping for a better outcome. And now the industry is facing the most severe hardware crisis in its history. We must reset XBOX.

First, we will reset our content portfolio.

Since 2018, we have aggressively expanded our studio portfolio while the number of games created each month across the industry now outpaces the last ten years combined. We now find ourselves competing not only with the largest publishers, but also with smaller independent studios. It is neither possible nor desirable to own every great independent studio. We have also learned that we are not the best home for every type of studio; in a typical year, we lost 64 cents for every dollar we invested. As we reset XBOX, we will help independent creators succeed by providing open development tools and audiences to realize their vision.

Compulsion Games and Double Fine Productions will return to management and transition to independent studios with their IP, catalog, and runway for their next games. Ninja Theory and Undead Labs have entered terms to join new ownership with funding to complete and grow Senua and State of Decay 3. In France, Arkane’s management is beginning required consultation with its Works Council to review potential strategic options.

We are also making reductions across other units, and in some cases, shifting investment to focus on higher priority projects. These changes vary in size across Activision, Bethesda/ZeniMax, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and XBOX Game Studios. None of our first party publicly announced games or projects are being cancelled as part of these reductions.

In addition, Mojang and King will now report directly to me. These two studios have increasingly become platforms and are our largest by monthly active players. They bring critical geographic, demographic, and differentiation to XBOX.

Second, we will reset our platform.

We know that great technology gets better when it gets simpler, not bigger. Today, in some parts of the company, work passes through as many as 14 layers of management. Our platform teams are 40% larger than they were at the start of this generation, even as our player base and playtime have declined. That complexity has slowed decisions, blurred accountability, and made it harder to deliver for players. As we reset XBOX, we will simplify.

We will reduce management layers to no more than 5, and where possible, 3. We will deliver success through a flatter organization that is built around makers (individual contributors focused on building), player-coaches (leaders who remain deeply involved in the work while developing their teams), and directly responsible individuals (DRIs) who own key decisions and outcomes. And we will streamline how we work across our tools, with a cleaner code base, shared services, and 50% reduced vendor spend.

Third, we are resetting how we operate.

As XBOX grew our headcount, we became more fragmented. Teams, studios, and functions often operate independently, and it became harder to work towards a shared goal, make the right tradeoffs, and get things done.

For the first time, we are establishing a Chief Operating Officer with end-to-end P&L responsibility across content, hardware, platform, and services. Helen Chiang has been promoted to this role and will report directly to me. Over nearly two decades at XBOX, Helen has helped build some of our most important businesses, from XBOX Live to leading Mojang and the Minecraft franchise. She will bring our businesses together under one operating model, making sure we make clear investment decisions, learn from our successes and failures, and hold ourselves accountable for results.

Thank you, Dave McCarthy, who is retiring after 17 years with XBOX. Dave has played a defining role in building the platform that millions of players rely on every day and has been a trusted partner through many of the biggest moments in XBOX's history. We wish him all the best.

These changes are about a bigger future for XBOX, not a smaller one. The next decade of gaming will be larger, more global, and more creative than anything we've seen before. This year, we'll invest as much in XBOX as we ever have, but we'll invest with greater focus, greater discipline, and greater clarity, all in service of making XBOX where the world plays and creates.

I want XBOX to be one of the few companies that entertains more than a billion people each day and gives everyone the opportunity to create and connect. I know we can achieve this goal. XBOX has many of the most beloved franchises in entertainment history, talented studios around the world, and we will return to growth in 2027.

History is full of companies that mistake longevity for inevitability. We will not be one of them.

@EndymionYT Funny they flooded a market thinking they had something special under the belt, only to be treated like day laborers.
Instead of rare talent with few to pick from, multitudes of grads gave them a 3rd party engine buffet.
