Xbox Console Sales Continue To Crater With Massive 42% Revenue Drop - Slashdot
  • Yes exactly. A large number of their older titles exist on other platforms like the Switch and of course, the PC, where gamepass lets people play those titles for a very affordable price.

    All the more reason then to make games like Starfield and Halo infinite the absolute best games they could be

  • Riot police on standby across England and Wales for further far-right protests
  • Indigenous population scared about their wellbeing? Wellbeing from what? What possible threat has the indigenous population faced recently that you need to be all up in arms about it?

    This is a report on Gov.uk

    In 2022/23, white individuals accounted for 78% of arrests, 8% were of black individuals, 8% were of Asian individuals, 4% were of mixed ethnicity individuals and 2% were of other ethnicity individuals

    In 2022, 77% of all males prosecuted for indictable offences were from the white ethnic group, compared to 86% of all females prosecuted

    Since 2018, white defendants have had a consistently lower average custodial sentence length (ASCL) than all other ethnic groups combined for indictable offences.

    Black prisoners served the greatest proportion of their original sentence in custody.

    What is your point? What are you up in arms about exactly?

  • Xbox Console Sales Continue To Crater With Massive 42% Revenue Drop - Slashdot
  • Halo Infinite - failed
    Starfield - failed
    Forza Motorsport - terrible launch
    Redfall - failed

    Out of curiosity, I googled exclusives for Xbox series exclusives. They've got things like Forza Horizon 5, sunset overdrive and Ori. Like, sure, but you can't say proudly that your console is being held aloft by 4+ year old titles when the competition is releasing banger after banger!

    They just missed the mark. You can spend billions on R&D and marketing for a new console, billions on buying up game studios to make new games, but if your games suck on launch, people won't play on your console.

    What XBox has done this generation is borderline suicide.

  • Elon Musk shares manipulated Harris video, in seeming violation of X’s policies
  • Trump promised he won't open the Epstein files if he gets re-elected. Suddenly Musk started throwing money at him and breaking any rule to censor the opposition party and smear them.

    This has little to do with the lying orange Turd. Musk cares about his own pedo past and is desperate to not have that info leak out.

  • But can it run Crysis?
  • Can you imagine your own mind having unskippable ads?

    Can you imagine buying products you don't want because you're suddenly compelled to do so and you have no idea why.

    Neuralink is going to be hell, purely because the person in charge of it is Elon Musk.

  • "He couldn't even remember me": Trump has "severe memory issues," says author who interviewed him
  • He wants the presidency to exonerate himself. That's it. He knows he's going to prison if he loses the election.

    He has zero care or motivation to further the country once he's in power. He wants to save his own ass and his properties.

  • It looks like Turkey will give up on the European Union
  • I mean, it does look like a sensible option. BRICS countries are growing in number and their combined wealth is nothing to sneeze at.

    Turkey was never really allowed to be a part of EU and therefore will join the cool new club while the rest of Europe grows in far right rhetoric, and generally anti islamic sentiment.

  • Biden Claims Israel Isn't Starving Gazans. Rights Groups Say 'It Is Clear as Day'
  • To all those people who keep saying that in order to not have Trump back in 2025, everyone must suck it up and vote Biden, this is why that just can't happen.

    Sure Trump is bad in many ways but Biden's insistence on helping Netenyahu no matter what will lose him the election.

    I'm not making a case for Trump, btw. Both things can be bad at the same time. For people who are seeing Gazans die for no reason, Biden cannot come back into office again. Does that mean we want Trump? Of course not, and that's why voting for anyone else makes sense.

    If voting for anyone else means you're voting for Trump, so be it!

  • Israel sharpens its tone to Spain: "The Inquisition is over. Those who harm us, we will harm them"
  • On September 11, some Saudis attacked the World Trade Centre. America retaliated by going to war with Afghanistan, found they had nothing of value, and then Rumsfeld said since Iraq has oil, they should go after them instead. The unprovoked attack and illegal war that still, to this day, has had zero repurcussions against Bush, Blair and the rest who started it, and caused individuals from militant faction groups to rise up and attack those nations in the form of terrorist attacks, perpetuating a cycle of hate and loss.

    More than twenty years later, uneducated people still fail to see the distinction between individual terrorists and an entire people who follow Islam. Islamophobia is on the rise right now simply because people are protesting the war in Gaza, and still equating those protesters to the terrorism from years prior.

    I say all this because I can see how hate, and in your case, antisemitism lingers. Your actions are not that of the IDF, your words are not the same as aggrevators like Ben Gvir and your policies are not the same as Netenyahu's, but because you're Jewish, those things are all the same now in the eyes of many uneducated people.

    It was the same with idiots attacking random (elderly!?) Chinese civilians on the street as a result of COVID lockdowns. The blame lies chiefly with the media and its incendiary bias towards all things that don't align with their backward views, and allowing people like Trump to stand on a podium and address millions of people with lies and baseless claims.

  • YouTube videos are skipping to the end for users with adblockers
  • From this link:

    "I do not want the administrative workload that comes with donations. I do not want the project to become in need of funding in any way: no dedicated home page + no forum = no cost = no need for financial support. I want to be free to move on to something else if ever I get tired of working on these projects (no donations = no expectations).

    Have a thought for the maintainers of the various lists. These lists are everything. I can not emphasize this enough."

  • YouTube videos are skipping to the end for users with adblockers
  • While the developer doesn't accept donations, they do encourage donating to the people maintaining the block lists. I've contributed in the past and would happily keep doing so.

    It would be a shame if the devs maintaining the block lists stop doing what they're doing because it's not sustainable enough for them.

  • Joe Biden Condemns International Criminal Court Prosecutor’s Pursuit Of Arrest Warrant Against Israeli Leaders: “What’s Happening Is Not Genocide”
  • If you're implying Trump should lead America again, you're literally insane. Anyone who believes that man should be let near a position of power - let alone the highest office in the US - is either ignorant or has vested interest in the decision.

    If you're convinced that what's happening in Palestine is par for the course, and that Israel's actions are justified, and that the people protesting around the globe for Palestine are being over dramatic, you're ignorant, blind and truly deluded, or, again, you've some personal bias towards Israel which fails to allow you to accept reality.

    If you don't agree with both of the above statements, then you cannot disagree with my comment. I said Trump cannot win because he isn't fit for office. I also implied that Biden is tarnished by the Israel conflict to be seen in a positive light by his voters. If the Dems want the win, they can't possibly go into an election with a president who is actively leaning into his "Genocide Joe" moniker. They need another candidate.

  • Joe Biden Condemns International Criminal Court Prosecutor’s Pursuit Of Arrest Warrant Against Israeli Leaders: “What’s Happening Is Not Genocide”
  • With protests as rife as they are across the world, and sentiment against Netenyahu at its lowest as he begins murdering innocent people in Rafah (and crossing Biden's own red line as well as many nations red lines in the process), the last thing Biden, already dubbed genocide Joe, had to do was throw his full weight behind Israel and drag the US down with him.

    We all know that Trump will be disastrous for the US, and a self-proclaimed dictator with followers who literally worship him as the Messiah will turn the US into a nation akin to what we've been deriding and attacking for decades. Trump cannot win, of course he can't. But to expect voters to back Biden when he's this brazenly in support of a genocide is delusional.

    If dems want to win the vote, they MUST front a new candidate. Biden simply has too much blood on his hands this time. Dem voters will most likely abstain, and if not, then they'll split the Dem vote. Tell Biden to sit down and let someone else run.

  • What's new in the Huge New ‘Starfield’ Patch
  • So what am I remembering then? Was that fallout76?

    They had a new game coming up and said they'll be using their engine and there was a huge backlash, and they then responded that they'll be working on a new one.

    I could've sworn my worst enemy's right arm that that's how it happened... Internet's slow right now on the train but I'm keen to do some sleuthing on this now

  • What's new in the Huge New ‘Starfield’ Patch
  • They need a Cyberpunk 2077/ No man's sky level overhaul and that simply won't happen.

    In Cyberpunk's case, CDPR within months of the terrible launch, had a clear vision of what they want to fix and how they want their game to feel in 2.0. They gave us a roadmap and plenty of updates and they delivered on what they promised with an incredible 2.0 release and DLC, that honestly propelled the game into my top 10 of all time.

    No man's sky basically released a new game in the decrepit shell of their initial release. Multiple decent DLC's later and it's one of the best success stories in gaming history.

    With their Elden Ring title on the horizon, there's no way Bethesda is going to devote so many resources to fix a broken game. They also promised that Starfield will run in a new engine following backlash when they said it'll run on the same one. There's very little confidence now in Bethesda that their next game won't be a buggy mess. Fallout 4 sucked until mods fixed the game. Starfield sucks to this day and their next title probably already has significant development done to it that they likely can't scrap lol.

    If they honestly thought this patch would bring people back, then they're as deluded as the diablo 4 devs are

  • You Can Now Jailbreak A PS4 With An LG TV
  • Unfortunately LGTV's can't be jailbroken unless you were lucky enough to jailbreak it back before they patched it.

    I got mine last year and had no idea the security on it was so tight. I'm just hoping smarter minds than mine can figure out new exploits for the LGTV now that there's demand with the ability to jailbreak PS4s

  • Probably should've invested in some anti-virus program ...
  • I tried to download a music video on limewire once. I was pretty computer illiterate back then and around 13 years old at the time when a friend at school showed me how to download things.

    That music video turned out to be a woman being murdered at point blank range. It was ~5 seconds of my life but that video has never left my mind. It was far too early for video editing and far too 'amateur' to be a movie production. The way she begged for the guy to stop before he pulled the trigger, it was definitely real.
