Phew, managed to book a space on an event whose first set of spaces filled in 90 seconds after bookings went live.
I was not expecting a tense adventure getting a spot on the tense adventure event

Steamed Hams and the Loss meme never fail to get me.
In other news, leaked internal Microsoft emails show that for some reason they are trying to buy Nintendo.

Again?
That always ends so well.
The last line of the email:
At some point, getting Nintendo would be a career moment and I honestly believe a good move for both companies. Itâs just taking a long time for Nintendo to see that their future exists off of their own hardware. A long timeâŚ
Unbelievable.
Wild guess without reading anything: Itâs about console market things
Edit: yeah
they fumbled xbox, time to just buy someone else I guess
phil spencer is just desperate to have mario as the xbox console mascot
microsoft canât even buy blizzard how do they think theyâre gonna buy nintendo lmao
they also want valve
why donât they just buy sony and make it a full house
Oh to be so rich that any run in with the law doesnât even startle you out of just repeating stuff.

For the best in both cases.
It is in the nature of the capitalist system to consolidate wealth and power, concentrating it in the hands of the individuals with the most successful predatory practices.
The big fish will always want more and more, and the logical end of the road threatens democracy itself. The fiction of healthy competition in a free market, voluntary participation and meritocracy thus becomes a shackle to weigh us all down.
When the working class has nothing to gain and nothing to lose, people find themselves already disempowered and dissent made into a threat to the bottom line. What are they going to do? Organise an illegal strike and face lifelong economic penalties for costing their benefactors a dayâs worth of projected income?

Itâs from 2020, so i think thatâs gone an passed
Absolutely insane though that the FTC âaccidentallyâ leaked Microsoftâs entire business strategy, Zenimaxâs whole release lineup, etc for the coming years
I think the FTC kind of torpedoâd their case against Microsoft the last couple of hours actually
owned, hope they do it again
The email seems to suggest a long play, with them devouring Nintendo shares at every available opportunity and trying to turn them around to the idea. It still likely wonât avail them though, Nintendo are sitting very pretty and the idea that they need to exist off their own hardware is laughable.
Although Iâd be down with Microsoft acquiring them if it finally meant they would give me Wind Waker HD on Switch.
bizarre statement, I donât think anyone should be fond of a government organisation doing some of the largest corporate espionage because theyâre losing their case (and TES6 on their PS5, I guess)
personally i like my consumer watchdog organisations to not be firmly on the side of one specific corporation, and comically poor at handling any sort of concept of confidentiality at all, i think thatâs bad for the consumer in the long run actually

i like the conspiracy that someone did this just because theyâre salty about not being able to play starfield/elder scrolls 6 on their ps5
the console wars are alive and well
