"liberals are the real sexists" - people who spend money to threaten women's healthcare

it's more "both main political affiliations are full of sexists"

that democrats are slightly better doesn't really make it okay either

iirc the Klingon language was made up as a challenge to write a constructed language that had no verb "to be"

this was then ruined by Star Trek 6

don't know if this is technically bubble but I'm not going in the games thread

quote:

The big news from last quarter’s earnings report was that in the trailing year, EA’s sales on digital platforms like EA Origin and the App Store had narrowly eclipsed those in retail stores like Walmart and GameStop. In the fourth quarter, a whopping 67 percent of the company’s revenue, $602 million, came from digital sources. Packaged good sales were down 19 percent versus the same quarter last year.

Digitally delivered add-on content represented about 40 percent of those digital revenues, with mobile now marking nearly one-quarter of them, and 17 percent of the total. Full game downloads were flat year over year.

Almost all of EA’s $150 million in mobile revenues, 94 percent, came from free-to-play rather than paid-download games, Jorgensen said.

Sales on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 combined were up 23 percent versus the same quarter in 2014, from $305 million to $376 million, while sales on their predecessors, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, fell 33 percent in the same time frame, from $246 million to $164 million. PC game sales fell 17 percent, from $207 million to $172 million year over year.

consoles will continue releasing for as long as theyre profitable which means probably long after any convenience or practicality associated with them is gone
