Yeah they won’t even discuss it, we’ll just get the same boilerplate response we got last time.

Surely the opposite should be true. It just shows that countries cannot leave the EU because it is far too damaging to their economy

The hostility from the EU about the UK rejoining (especially from France) tells me that’s not likely to happen.

The UK petition ends before the EU petition so my guess is that they’ll give us some canned response before the end of the month. In their heads that will end the discussion.

It was extremely clear what the previous petition was, it was just they weren’t interested in doing anything so they intentionally misunderstood.

Who? I seriously have no idea who you’re talking about.

I honestly think that the main reason this has kicked off is that up until about a week ago it wasn’t really advertised. I didn’t even know that it started the petition up again, I knew the original one failed because parliament closed and for some reason that meant the petition had to end.

The ego on this guy is just unprecedented. It’s Borderlands, most people can take it or leave it.

I have Teams (New) as well as New Teams

Teams (New) is the next version of teams except I literally don’t know what they’ve done because I can’t see any difference.

New Teams appears to be a totally different project except again it looks identical but the calendar is different, they’ve actually managed to make the calendar worse, which is impressive since it was pretty goddamn unusable to start with.

I don’t understand why they have two development strands going on simultaneously.

There’s also Microsoft PowerBi. Just a wonderfully descriptive name.

360 was a big hit because everyone wanted to play halo. Honestly outside of that I don’t think there was any other exclusives. At least none that I can remember

He didn’t make any moves so I’m not sure if I should be insulted or not.

I ended up buying ours from the local priest. Still don’t understand why he had one when all the stores were out of stock for months on end.

Well yeah because they screwed up one of their main franchises. All they had to do was leave Budgie alone to make Halo games, but no.

Everyone knows developers only have one good game in them.

No that would probably make money. Microsoft don’t make sound business decisions.

I literally have no idea what generation of console any of those names are from.

Microsoft suck at naming things in general. It’s a problem across every single branch of the business, people keep calling Office 365 0365 because Microsoft insists on calling it O365 and people think that’s a zero. Also the name makes no sense anyway, why not call it Microsoft Office Online?

Then we have Microsoft Azure, except they renamed that to Entra despite the fact that both names are stupid. Then of course there is the entirety of the Windows OS lineup.

I can’t see streaming games being anything other than a niche market. It puts the burden onto the streamer, in order to be competitive they look after constantly be upgrading their offering, they will have to have multiple server centres around the world, they will always be beholden to crappy ISPs who just don’t upgrade their infrastructure.

With local hardware you shortcut all of that, upgrading of your hardware is done by the user so they’re not going to complain if it’s out of date, you don’t have to have any server centres, and the ISP issues either don’t matter for single player games that were massively reduced for multiplayer games, now they don’t actually have to send video over the connection. .

What are you talking about you can buy the PC for less than the price of a PS5 and it will be better than the PS5. The advantage of gaming consoles has always been that it’s plug and play. You just turn it on and there you go.

Sony aren’t going to create a revolutionary GPU that’s only available in the PS6. They might try and charge $1,000 for it but they will always be other options. Where do you think they get their components from? They don’t have their own fab.

I guarantee that Naughty Bunny makes sex toys.
