I use this too on android. Works great for streaming, but you can't download tracks to listen offline afaik.

Honestly, I'd be interested to see MachineGames do something with the IP after how they handled Indiana Jones.

It's true that the PS5 has basically no exclusives, but the PS5 also has over double the market share of Xbox. Plus, porting to Xbox is a huge lift since the hardware differences between the Series X and S is like making two ports. It sounds like this studio would rather focus on a single good port to reach as many players as possible before moving to other platforms.

Also, Microsoft definitely has been losing favor recently after mass layoffs (even for studios that have been successful like Virtuos) and multiple game cancellations like Perfect Dark (shuttered the whole studio) and Everwild. Zenimax supposedly had a game in early dev that Phil Spencer could barely put down, but the game was cancelled a few months later.

Some folks are now wondering what the point of them buying up all these studios has been, if they're just going to cancel their projects years later after giving a thumbs up the whole time. From what I've read, it seems like this has been more so Microsoft fucking over Xbox to divert resources towards investing in AI 🤮

Canned peach, maybe?

The guy was kicked out of the club a few minutes before the crash for being an intoxicated nuisance. Based on what the investigators are saying about the footage, he drove into the crowd intentionally by manuvering around a bus to get onto the sidewalk. No obvious terrorism here, imo.

I'm a bit further north, but I noticed that egg prices at the local health foods co-ops that source eggs from smaller farms stayed pretty consistent while prices at bigger chain stores that source from mega farms doubled for a while. I assumed the difference was due to increased animal density requiring culling for the mega farms, price gouging, or both.

Wow, this reads like the mad ravings of an addict losing their fix. They really are terrified.

I don't think they are different? Here's what the phone, messaging, and contacts app icons look like on my pixel 8.

Edit: I'm a dummy. I just realized you meant the contacts' icons in each of those apps. I just confirmed those colors can vary between each app. I agree, that does seem like an oversight.

I'm in agreement with you, though I still think it's a fair suggestion for people putting the world before themselves to find another line of work too. I'm not saying that's the only reasonable suggestion. I'm all for trying to mitigate the risk of abuse and trauma in the first place. I took Optional's comment as an intended show of support to folks that might be struggling with similar abuse in their life.

If your job is causing you enough mental anguish to go through with suicide, it's reasonable to suggest you find another. That goes for any job.

Two things can be true at the same time!
