Achy Breaky Heart.
I'm not playing to win.

I suspect I'm pretty much the only market for this thing. I can play while in bed, which is where most of switch gaming currently happens. The price is probably reasonable for what it cost them, but they need to explain why anyone besides me would want one.

Divorce doesn’t protect your personal bank account. That money doesn’t suddenly becomes yours.

Yes, but no. If you are married and only have joint accounts, you can't do much to prevent the other person from withdrawing from those accounts until you get into see the magistrate. At a minimum, you should have a separate account if you are paid by direct deposit.

Meh, hate the game, not the player. I've spent half a life and my whole career adjacent to MS, my anger about their products and practices has long since turned to cynical acceptance. Yes, they have over stepped the bounds of fairness and good taste many times, but I've seen other vendors do so much worse. If you don't like Microsoft products, advocate for something else. The bottom of the bottle is that Microsoft has a duty to pursue profit for it's shareholders, and some of that will be ugly. These days there are workable alternatives for everything they sell, which wasn't always the case.

If containerized, scale horizontal and load balance.

Agreed, fellow human. Ejecting excess hair fluid is a normal way to maintain buoyancy.

I guess my cutoff would be actual conversation. Unless they specifically ask to be eaten, ala the bit from Hitchiker's Guide, in which case I guess the sky is the limit.

I think there are a lot of "meat is an accent, not the whole dish" recipes out there, from all over the world. Adapting flavors to a more western palette is going to be tricky, but it can be done. So long as they are presented as good recipes instead of "here is a half step step to vegetarianism", I think people would dig it.

Without putting too much emphasis on it, showing people how to find fresh veg/fruit/herbs outside of a grocery would be useful, as would some tips on how to buy ethically raised meat/dairy. Having to make trips to different places seems like a chore (and certainly can be), but showing how it can be a pleasant social experience would help a lot to build a larger community of like-minded foodies. Spend local, reduce waste, encourage a local market for superior produce, network with like-minded people, etc..

I would love to see a show about how to adapt traditional meals to vegetarian or reduced meat dishes, but absolutely not presented by a vegetarian or vegan. Existing presenters can't seem to stop talking about vegetarianism/veganism. I would appreciate the information, but I can only abide their purity spiral attitudes briefly.

Source? When they proposed to do this for blood donors, it got shut down in a hurry.

He makes fun games, but he over-promises beyond his abilities. Ignore the hype, play the game when it’s marked down.
