These videos of twenty-something-year-olds staring blankly into the camera, reciting obvious& unimpressive thoughts in a performative monotone wouldn’t exist if they instead sat in front of a mirror, pretending to be interviewed, realizing mid-sentence how uninteresting they are

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

Kylian Mbappé responds to racist remarks from Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla:

“You are a despicable woman and unworthy of your position.
You do not represent Paraguay, that country which has sweated passion and honor throughout the competition. Through your recklessness and your brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and the historic effort that your players accomplished during this World Cup, making way for an incompetent woman who gives the worst possible image of her country.
I will never allow people like her the freedom to spread their hatred and racism across the world.”

it is genuinely insane to me how many people (especially Americans) have zero cultural awareness for other countries

yes Radiohead is indeed a niche band to listen to among Japanese teens, that really shouldn't be surprising for anyone

PlayStation quand c’était dirigé par le pole japonais :
-PS1 à 4, PSP, vita
-Rétrocompatibilité
-Aide au dev

Depuis le pole américain :
-PS5
-hausse des prix
-Fin du physique
-Fermeture de Japan Studio

Si vous vouliez une raison a la mort de PlayStation, elle a eu lieu en 2016.

A ‘MR. TERRIFIC’ series is in the works.

Allan Heinberg (‘The Sandman’) is writing the pilot.

TLDR: Playstation fudged the numbers and their own PS5 exclusives sell more physically than digital lol

I really enjoy the setting of Cyberpunk as it represents a future where the bourgeoisie totally and utterly won. The closet they have to opposition is Johnny fucking Silverhand. A man who is primarily motivated by narcissism, not genuine liberation.

I'm talking to people - Sony is currently being inundated with emails and messages behind the scenes from smaller publishers and devs voicing their displeasure over the end of physical games.

I'm actually kinda shocked just how much internal backlash there has been to this.

Doubt it'll make a difference, this was apparently a decision made by the money men within the last two months, is 100% influenced by component costs & manufacturing (AI ruining everything again)

They know nobody will buy a $1000+ PS6

They have calculated that the only way the PS6 makes business sense for them right now in terms of margins is to kill both the retail and resale market. Furthermore, they figure people are invested enough in the ecosystem that they're locked-in for life.

They fully expected a huge backlash and took it into account, but they think the anger won't amount to much in terms of real financial losses and are willing to take the PR hit.

Of the 15% of the current PlayStation audience that buy physical, they expect only 2-3% of people not to move over to fully-digital upon being forced.

The money saved by getting rid of the retailer cut, and lost on the reseller market eclipses that 2-3% and makes up for their miniscule profit expected per PS6 sold. (they will not sell it at a loss, but are willing to only make as little as $50 per unit sold)

The only way they'd ever reverse this decision is if the 2-3% of physical audience they expect to lose is instead around 8-10%+

As much as i'd love to see everyone come together and somehow force their hand with a mass boycott, I doubt it will happen.

They have been wanting to kill physical since around 2020, the AI RAMpocalypse has forced their hand.

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.

Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.

Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.

A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.
