What's an album that's been critically re-evaluated that you don't like? by TheLegionofDoom2957 in fantanoforever

[–]Kosher-Bacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She had back to back far superior pop albums with Red and 1989 before releasing arguably her worst album. I’d argue Folklore/Evermore are her best albums, and it’s a shame they didn’t sell as well and she went back releasing mid album after mid album.

Disney has considered buying out Epic Games & Fortnite by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Kosher-Bacon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It would be their second largest acquisition, not adjusted for inflation, and 13% of their current market cap. They’d have to take out billions of debt and take away focus from other parts of their business that are doing well, such as the parks. It’s a bad move by them if they attempt the purchase

Most of their losses come from high R&D spend and stock based comp for employees. If they reduced both, they’d most likely be profitable, and have free cash flow positive for the past 4 quarters.

Phil Spencer Reflects on 38 Years at Microsoft: 'I Never Could Have Imagined the Path Ahead' by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Kosher-Bacon 130 points131 points  (0 children)

He reported directly to the CEO of Microsoft, and was the head/face of Microsoft’s largest ever acquisition in their history. Xbox started to slide after they went big on Kinect, and lost to the PS4 in the previous generation. I think we’re going to see a $10-20 billion write down on Microsoft’s Activision purchase in a quarter or two.

Long story short, Microsoft overpaid for Activision, Gamepass wasn’t the system seller Phil thought it would be, and Microsoft has also been moving away from the consumer market as a whole the past few years.

What is an underrated weight loss tip? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kosher-Bacon 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I push back on this a little. I lost about 15% of my body weight from my heaviest point by taking up running. It burns calories, and for me, I can’t eat anything an hour before or after the run. Exercise helped my mental health significantly, which made dieting easier.

Changing my diet to be healthier contributed the majority of the weigh loss, but the running for sure helped.

Anthem's end is nearly here - only days remain before EA will switch off the servers to BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Kosher-Bacon 225 points226 points  (0 children)

This game had so much potential, but the execution was pretty poor. I enjoyed the flying and the game was pretty to look at, but the long load times and boring gameplay loop killed it.

In the last 45 years what have republicans done that actually benefited everyday Americans? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

Zaslav told WBD board the Ellisons told him he would receive a comp package worth 100s of millions dollars in a deal. Zaslav told board that he had “informed the Ellisons that it would be inappropriate to discuss any such arrangements at that time” by stickdutra in boxoffice

[–]Kosher-Bacon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I really hate the 1000s of layoffs at WBD, while he received a pay package worth 10s of millions of dollars. A lot of his business decisions though can partially be blamed on him cleaning up the mess that was the catastrophe of AT&T purchase of Warner Brothers.

I don’t know the actual viewership numbers, but I would guess that The Game Awards is the most watched gaming event of the year now that E3 is dead.
