You say it was an echo chamber but remember how much Donald Trump used it? Everybody used it.

Granted that was falling apart by the end of Trump's term and he was banned for comments relating to Jan 6.

The hackers I mean. Stealing has consequences.

So he has something to distract his constituents from why he fled Texas when the people were freezing to death due to Abbott's and Ercot's incompetence.

Also, because the Wikiepedia article about the battle at the Alamo explicitly states, "About one hundred Texians, wanting to defy Mexican law and maintain the institution of chattel slavery in their portion of Coahuila y Tejas by seeking secession from Mexico, . . ." To him, telling the truth is "liberal" bias.

Look how twitter got destroyed as a common medium for communication, with no replacement. X (right) and Bluesky (left) together are not a replacement for what twitter used to be. Now wikipedia as a store of knowledge goes the same route? Can't we just have one reality, but have different opinions about it?

Oh fuck off. The headline is exactly correct. Something was worth X yesterday and today it's worth Y, where Y is substantially less than X.

If you had to sell right now, you would get far less than for the product than if it you sold it yesterday. Hence, erased market cap.

It's used every single day in the financial industry and is regularly quoted in headlines when a company's stock plunges.

Some people make real money in this "market," or try to. Check this out:

I Spent 24 Hours with CS2 Millionaires

I'm not saying any of this is real, but I bet some sizable purchases have been driven by dreams of such.

Cockroaches!

Already 100 million years old when those johnny-come-lately dinosaurs came along.

I guess Pokeman cards were just too tangible.

On this page they identify 1.5C as the initial "tipping point" of specific bad things. There is a fairly wide uncertainty around that estimate, but it's considered the best estimate so in that sense it wasn't picked out of thin air.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

"Which means that we're going to have a period, bigger or smaller, with higher or lower intensity, above 1.5C in the years to come"

You cut off the conclusive part - we're going 1.5C above baseline. How much, being open in part to what we do now.

ok I'm going to wave the white flag on this one.

So long as Trump and his minions have the same done to them, deal. Fauci has given decades of his life to help people so if he has to be sacrificed to get rid of a larger evil, so be it.

What I'm saying is the new goal to target 30% profit margins (sure, why not?) might or might not be accomplished through further price increases. I know they already did raise prices, and I there's been some pushback and even reductions of announced sky-high prices for upcoming games by other companies. Microsoft doesn't dominate gaming and they don't have the power to arbitrarily increase profits by jacking up prices.

Congratulations. You have reverted to the way things were written 2,400 years ago.

What a great improvement. Certainly better than writers no longer using the Oxofrd comma in sentences.

I can't read the paywalled article, but the summary doesn't say anything about raising prices. What it does talk about is reducing costs by cutting languishing projects. For games to be in development for 7+ years is no way to run a business.
