Or get it second hand for cheap lol, it's not a big deal to me at least.

I have ublock origin on desktop and revanced patched youtube and I don't have any of this issues. So it might just simply be YouTube being YouTube.

I mean I don't like Tesla either and I agree that they should use Lidars but how is a Lidar supposed to solve this issue? It's still a solid surface and the Lidar will still pick it up.

Maybe I'm generalising it a bit but it does seem like the main issue is the lack of open mindedness, compassion and an inclination for aggressive responses rather than simply agreeing to disagree.

Which unfortunately is a difficult thing to achieve since you need both sides to have the same mindset for any healthy discussion to happen. The moment one side decides to be antagonistic, it quickly derails the tone of the conversation regardless how open the other side may be. Heck this happens all the time here. It's called no stupid questions but people will still flame others for asking questions lol.

The scissor statement just serves to accelerate whatever problem already exists.

I can't say I buy this fully. From a marketkng standpoint, it seems like a huge win: "Subscribe to game pass ultimate and you get thousands of games old and new, up by thousands from last year". From a financial standpoint, running those emulators should be a lot less compute heavy than current games so it should be cheaper.

The only real issue I see here is legal. Licensing the rights to distribute the games via streaming for their entire back catalogue can't be easy.

Unfortunately there's plenty of people who are perfectly fine with that. When given evidence of it happening before, they'll go oh "it won't happen here" or "it won't happen again". How do you convince people like them that simply don't care for the value of life? Of course a number of these are also "pro-lifers".

Bringing a ton of their games to PC and the PC game pass has been pretty great. Guess it's not so nice if you're on the consoles or Linux I guess.

I'm surprised you disliked Syndicate story yet adored Unity's. Sure Syndicate's story isn't anything to write home about but I found it at least consistent and coherent. It's a typical, evil mastermind needs to be taken down story. Is it amazing? Not really but it's serviceable. Unity on the other hand, is... To be honest, I can't even remember any parts of it other than Arno being a miserable prick for most of it.

Unity definitely had the much better gameplay though. Parkour, co-op, assassination missions and the beautiful rendition of Paris were all great.

I'm assuming they mean authorized by the resort rather than the government.

They actually have quite a bunch of programmes to bring foreigners in. That's not to say that the cultural issues aren't there but that's a separate problem regarding integration rather than immigration.

As someone living in Asia, the US losing influence is a really scary thing. China has been increasing their aggression in the region and the US's presence has always been the counter to that. It was a good balance but a weaker US will tip the balance to China's favour. Not to mention that the US has been a key factor in getting Korea and Japan to work together on security matters. Unfortunately, there's no EU or NATO equivalent for us to rely on.
