5 Years since #DeathStranding came out?!

Time flies. Arguably @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN 's best work.

I had the pleasure of meeting the legend AND the other legend that is Yoji Shinkawa at the DS world Tour back in 2019 (UK). Great times!

Here's another one for ya:

They found him not guilty in one singular case and in specific conditions and spaces.
The jurors were unanimous on the verdict, but not unanimous on Michael Jackson’s behaviour or innocence.

Two things can be true at the same time:

1. They acquitted him because the Prosecution's case was fairly weak.

2. Several jurors openly expressed discomfort with Jackson’s behaviour. The jury foreman said they were “very troubled” by Jackson’s admitted sleepovers with unrelated children. Another juror said members “came in with our personal beliefs, and some of those did differ” - meaning they did not all view Jackson the same way, even after the verdict.

Juror 1: Said of the multiple books of fully nude underage boys found at Neverland (in his locked Cabinet in his bedroom) was "the most disturbing evidence we saw." “Those books were troubling. Very troubling.”

Juror 8: “I had to look away. I didn’t want those images to sway me.” when talking of the nude boy books found at Neverland.

Eleanor Cook (Juror 5): She went public shortly after the trial and said: “I thought he was guilty, but they didn’t prove it.” She also said she felt pressured by other jurors and regretted the verdict.

Ray Hultman (Juror 10): “The evidence wasn’t strong enough for a conviction, but I didn’t think he was innocent.”

Jury Foreman Paul Rodriguez: “We were very troubled by some of the evidence and the sleepovers. ”

3. The verdict only applied to the Arvizo case - 14 charges from that single family. It did not rule on the 1993 case, the books found at Neverland, or any of the other double digit accusers who have allegations. So yes - the jury agreed the prosecution failed to prove that specific case beyond a reasonable doubt. But it’s simply incorrect to claim the jurors walked away believing Jackson was unquestionably innocent or that there was “nothing ambiguous.” Even the foreman said they were troubled by his behaviour, and several jurors said their personal beliefs differed. That is ambiguity defined.

[HouseQuake @jay_quake]

Nice, calm question here, so I will answer it no probs.

I've never claimed he was outright guilty anywhere. Not once. My point is - ask questions without blind-faith.

Like some of the Jurors said also, my turning point was the Nude boy books and then adding them into everything else. It's just unacceptable and very questionable.

Initially, I envisioned these books to be akin to Michelangelo paintings, Cherubs and things like that...it wasn't until I was actually shown those books that I was truly, truly disturbed. They are outright Child Er0tica with disturbing history behind them.

Then when you get into double digit accusers, not including people like Terance George who claimed MJ had phone sex with him, it just gets troubling.

June Chandler's accounts are disturbingly believable, the conflicting reports on whether Jordan's sketch matched his penis, Jordan's interview with detectives is extremely believable coherent and has moments where he just simply couldn't have invented that, Latoya's impassioned initial views (with knowledge about things that wouldn't surface until decades later ala Safechuck), evidence found, his complete lack of interest in women and/or a relationship (with man or woman), and on and on.

Just hanging with multiple Boys in a hideaway, locked in their room for weeks, sleeping in the same bed in any capacity - this alone is completely unacceptable and bizarre. Not proof of a crime, but absolutely unacceptable.
If your neighbour had all this on them or about them, you'd burn their house down.

I have seen all the other side too. Like I said, I was a gigantic fan and within the circles, seen Square One, Read the GQ article on the 1993 case, seen T-Mez's cross examinations, etc.

What I am left with is big doubt on his character - not proof of guilt, but huge doubt.

[HouseQuake @jay_quake]

You completely ignored my logic and reasoning because you know it is completely sound. You are blind-defending.

And nowhere, ever...anywhere...have I said "guilty".

I am very fluent in this case and MJ in general. I used to be a hardcore fan on all the forums (MJNI, KOP, MJSTAR, etc) and go to all the gatherings. My research is done.

And because you asked and have clearly not done your research, ironically - Other books found (taken straight from Court Docs and omitting Boys Will be Boys):

-Evidence Item #509. Book with pictures of nude children.
The hard cover book is titled Cronos, by author Pere Formigeura, contains images of nude children of both sexes, as well as adults.

-Evidence Item #505.  Books with pictures of nude children.
Three books, containing ‘photographs of nude and partially clothed children’.  The investigator noted that the books contained images of partially clothed or naked children, as well as images of nude adults with children’s faces morphed on top (WTAF?!).

Evidence Item #365: Pornographic books, including images of naked children.
‘The Christy Report’, nude images from the 1940s, some described as sadomasochistic.
‘Robert Maxwell Photographs,’ various images, including those of children.

-Evidence Item #303.  Three books containing nude photographs, including those of teenagers and pre-teenagers.
Naked and semi-clothed images of women ‘in sexually explicit poses,’ as well as naked men as filmed by a gay photographer.  One book contained semi-clothed or fully-nude teenagers or pre-teenagers, according to the report.

-Book: ‘In Search of Young Beauty,’ containing pictures of children, boys and girls, some nude.

-Book: ‘The Boy, a Photographic Essay,’ containing images of boys, some nude.

-Photograph: Noted in the document as ‘believed to be Jonathan Spence; fully nude.’

-Photograph: young boy holding an umbrella, with bikini bottoms partially pulled down.

-Evidence Item #366: Several books, containing images of nude men and children.
Nude images of a nude male couple, another contained nude images of men from the 1800s.  Photos of teenage males nude, images of adults with childrens’ faces morphed on top, some nude photos of children (again - WTAF?!).
Another book, Man: A Sexual Study of Man, described as a ‘graphic primer for homosexuals,’ including pictures of masturbation, oral and anal sex, homosexual erotica.

@jxckconch @Blackorhwhite @midtown_spidey Translation: This guy uses logic and unbiased thinking which doesn't always equate to the worshipping of our God. Therefore banishment is the only punishment for him.

[HouseQuake @jay_quake]

I have been injured. And that does cater to why it's seen as an absolutely flawed accusation from MJ.

Here he is demonstrating BOTH arms cannot go past his chest height, yet after leaving the station, fresh off the alleged injury, he is frantically waving and blowing kisses with BOTH arms, and rotating one shoulder as he moves it up and down the stair railings.

That's hard, clear cut evidence to the contrary of his claims.

1. If ONE of the MULTIPLE books were a gift in 1983...he chose to keep it, rather than throw it out with disgust like a normal human would. He instead chose to keep it and moved it from Hayvenhurst to Neverland and to his locked Cabinet in his bedroom along with the rest of the similar and even more offending books found there (even more were found around his home)

2. I would only say to that - I personally wouldn't have those sick and disgusting books in my home in any capacity...but DD has never been accused over 10 times of CA nor admits to having sleepovers with children. Also, if you think she should be investigated for having those books, you are in-turn admitting the books are disgraceful.

End of the day, you are doing mental gymnastics in order to defend someone who owned multiple books of this type, accused over 10 times, would rather hang out with young boys and have sleepovers with them which sometimes leads to weeks of being alone with them in a room...rather than simply say "this isn't acceptable". You don't even have to say "guilty!", it's just basic human sense should make you say "this is not acceptable". But you choose cult-like idol worship instead. Maybe that should be investigated.

[HouseQuake @jay_quake]

@OnimushaGame It ran absolutely beautifully.

Not one stutter, no frame-time spikes...butter smooth.

Triple digit frame rates at 4K, max settings, ray tracing with DLSS.

I don't know if me using "Xbox" mode on Windows has made things smoother for me, but regardless, it ran with zero issues.

[HouseQuake @jay_quake]

I literally just shown you the clip of MJ showing BOTH of his arms could not be raised past his chest. That's your leader, in his own words and actions, showing you that.

The mental gymnastics is incredible here is astonashing.

And now you have moved onto a different segment because you understand that the shoulder claims he made were absolutely debunked by basic evidence.

[HouseQuake @jay_quake]

You've literally just denied basic visual evidence. Click the clip I just posted to hear AND see MJ show BOTH arms cannot go past his chest height.

So in summary...MJ shows us that both arms allegedly cannot go past his chest height. Yet he is seen shooting one arm straight into the air, waving it back and forth and the other arm is tightly gripping the Rail and moves back and forth as he moves down the stairs, which requires full shoulder rotation as he leaves the station, fresh off the alleged injury.

Further more, in the footage of him leaving the station, he is shown waving with his right arm and blowing kisses and doing the peace sign above head height with his left (at the same time as rotating his left arm back and forth along a rail)
So both arms where shown to raise above head height, fully operable, as he left the station.

That's undeniable evidence and that is right smack in front of your face.

@Blackorhwhite @midtown_spidey This link will start at the specific part in question

https://t.co/9000I0KmPY

[HouseQuake @jay_quake]

@Blackorhwhite @midtown_spidey In the interview - he shows one arm and alleges he cannot get it past his chest height...then he says "same with this arm here" and raises his other arm to chest height.

[HouseQuake @jay_quake]

Do you realise what you are defending? Let me remind you...

The books contain page after page of *FULLY NUDE* underage Boys in sexually suggestive poses with their FULL genitalia on show (bent over with buttocks to the camera, sat with their legs spread wide and full genitals on show, etc).

They were created by convicted pdfs designed to circumnavigate the law in the 60s and sold via pdf organisations.

"He inscribed it only for the cover" - do you know how much that is reaching? You are saying he thought "I love the cover to this book it is so inspiring...but I won't look at the rest of the book, but instead, I will store it in my private cabinet in my bedroom along with the other similar books regardless".

The same applies to The Boy - if it was a gift, you would throw that shit out with a disgusted look on your face, not store it in a private cabinet in your bedroom.

[HouseQuake @jay_quake]

He inscribed the worst offending book (although they were all disgustingly offensive and sick). Kept them in a locked cabinet in his bedroom. The rest is defensive and wishful speculation on your part.

You would accept NO excuse for your neighbour, not only owning multiple types of these books, but then going onto routinely hang out with young boys, spending days in a bedroom together, sleeping together. You would burn that neighbour's house down for those things alone.

Does it not get tiring having to defend his action after action, behaviour after behavioural choice? The fact that you do defend it tells me you know it is wrong.

The moment MJ's possible illusion is shattered in-turn shatters your own identity - so on a psychological level, I do half understand the effort to constantly defend his constant inappropriate actions. It's cult-like behaviour.

[HouseQuake @jay_quake]

This is ironic because it is you that is being manipulated and manipulative.

Boys Will Be Boys and The Boy (and other similar books found in his home) are outright Child Er0tica. They were designed by convicted Pdfs to navigate the law and get CE into the hands of pdfs by disguising them as "art books". Today, they are widely unavailable and found disgusting by normal people.

They were sold on the NAMBLA (pdf organisation) website. They are routinely found in convicted CA cases as evidence.

The books contain page after page of FULLY NUDE underage Boys in sexually suggestive poses (bent over with buttocks to the camera, sat with their legs spread wide and full genitals on show, etc).

Multiple types of these books were found in his home and locked in his cabinet in his bedroom.

Do not gaslight and manipulate folks just because this is extremely damaging to your god.

[HouseQuake @jay_quake]

I think your “open PC vs closed PC” framing makes sense from a Sony‑centric perspective, but it doesn’t really map onto how Microsoft’s business works. A closed PC (Xbox‑only store) would absolutely be niche, but an open PC doesn’t mean Microsoft loses. Steam taking a 30% cut doesn’t outweigh the fact that Microsoft still earns money from every layer of Windows gaming: Windows licensing, DirectX, Azure, Xbox services, Game Pass PC, controller ecosystem, and now ABK revenue. Steam is a tenant on Windows, not a competitor to it.

If an Xbox player moves to PlayStation, Microsoft loses them. If an Xbox player moves to Windows PC and buys everything on Steam, Microsoft still keeps them inside the ecosystem. That’s retention.

The market has also shifted. Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go, and MSI Claw prove there’s demand for PC‑based gaming hardware. Microsoft isn’t choosing between “open PC” or “closed PC” - they’re building a hybrid Xbox that runs Windows, Xbox OS, Game Pass, and Steam together. That’s not a closed PC; it’s a console‑first PC, and the market has already validated that model.

Their recent moves - ABK acquisition, Xbox OS integration with Windows, Series X refresh, renewed focus on (potential) exclusives under Asha Sharma, and investment in hybrid hardware - don’t look like a company preparing to go third‑party. They look like a company shifting from console dominance to ecosystem dominance.

So while I agree Xbox won’t win the traditional console race again, I don’t think the evidence supports the idea that Microsoft wants to abandon hardware or push players away from Xbox. The strategy is to unify Xbox + Windows into one ecosystem where hardware still matters, but not in the old “100 million consoles sold” sense.
