This whole Xbox ally thing really feels like a wiiu style marketing blunder.

Except the wiiu could still play your wii games and also cost half the price

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing

The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

Just imagine the fun of explaining to future generations that the reason AMD is the only computer company is because their competitors invested all their money in AI chat bots

Whenever I'm with anybody and they ask what movie to watch I always recommend this movie. My favorite movie of all time, it's so fucking depressing.

Every History Channel show on the nazis be like : "They were building a super weapon that would have singlehandedly ended the war..."

"It was a big gun that didn't work, and it couldn't fire, and it couldn't move, but imagine if it did???"

Seeing so many people here wondering why there's a new tron movie if both Tron movies were flops.

Its because they weren't flops. They both very handedly made money. Also tron 1 made a ton in merchandising.

I think this guy is actually president imo

Trump is a doddering old man, barely aware of his own surroundings, getting worked over by underlings.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

There's always been this idea that turn based rpgs, and RTSs and other sidelined genres stopped selling as well. But i think what actually happened is they were only selling worse relative to the boom of action games. In reality they sold as well as they always did.
