…so what exactly is the appeal of the next gen supposed to be when:
1) The current gen barely has any games
2) You won’t own anything you buy
3) It costs a mortgage payment
Xbox is reportedly planning for their next console to release in late 2028.
Microsoft is internally projecting that the console could cost consumers between $1,200 and $1,800, unless they decide to subsidize the cost.

This could have substantial ramifications.
Based off primary votes, Scott Brown in 2010 would not have made the top four.
Republicans could essentially be locked out of many Massachusetts elections.

New York Times says that Nintendo is weak for making Super Mario 64 and that they are squandering the power of the Nintendo 64 by making something so lame like a Mario platformer.
@VelvetBarstool@charlescwcooke You have a greater chance of being struck by lightning in the parking lot than you do of having anything resembling an injury in one of these coasters.
@bdquinn Drawing Louisville like that is a choice, because the Louisville metro isn't that blue. These five counties would have enough people for 2 reps in this 9-member map but only backed Harris by 3 points
Really grim stuff here.
Thankfully Laika is owned by the Knight family, who have an unlimited amount of money and seems to be more or less okay with keeping a studio like Laika alive
Only one stop-motion film in history - Chicken Run - has grossed even $200 million worldwide.
Unfortunately it’s just very hard to get people to go watch stop-motion films.
@Michaelrbn Trump would net ~33k votes in Wisconsin and lose ~33 margin in Michigan.
Wouldn't impact 2024 or 2016 at all, but Trump would have won Wisconsin in 2020.
Delmarva would lowkey be a fairly competitive swing state.
Recent presidential results:
2024: Harris+3.5
2020: Biden+7.7
2016: Clinton+0.4
Dems win it by about 5 points on average most cycles.
the asteroid that formed the Chesapeake Bay gave us the most obvious natural borders for a US State in history, and colonists still cut this into three states
Unify Delmarva!
@torisu845@SpiderLynk@ShinMarvelous@ChenG03721819 What Luke did was the equivalent to putting your hand on the holster of a gun, which you might instinctively do if you get a vision showing the person in front of you will be responsible for billions of deaths.
Fans also incorrectly attributed Kylo Ren’s “last the past die” line to Rian Johnson.
Ren is the villain of the movie! He’s also wrong and is depicted as having crossed a moral event horizon by the end.
The big lie about The Last Jedi, from fans and haters alike, is that Rian Johnson wanted to subvert expectations. Every decision he made was a natural continuation of each character's arc, based on their flaws.
It is just that fans created baseless theories after it was written.
South Carolina has one of the starker divides of any state out there.
Western/Upstate SC has around ~2 million people and voted for Trump by 34 points.
The rest has ~3 million people and voted for him by 7.4% and - 0.5% in 2020.
@DesperateChem@LakeEffectBro@DavidZavac Luke instinctively turned on his lightsaber after seeing a vision of Ben causing billions of deaths.
He never once attempted to kill him. This is pretty clearly shown in the movie.
Disney had a Star Wars movie with a 91% critic and “A” CinemaScore that was the highest-grossing film of the year and had a lower 1st to 2nd entry drop than ESB or AoTC.
They got so freaked out by online comments that they pivoted the next entry to be safer and respond/retcon most major complaints.
One of the reasons why Disney has pivoted to playing it safe is because damn near every single risky idea they've put out in the last 25 years has bombed out right or underperformed.
If Hexed goes down, they'll play it even more safe.
