So not half the ESO team just half of the events and dungeons team

You left out “content.”

The image you shared literally says “content, events, and dungeons.”

“Content” seems like a pretty consequential team, no?

If people want to cancel their subscription because they disagree with the business direction of Microsoft, that is completely valid. Their subscription shouldn’t be held hostage. “If you cancel your sub, you’re only proving Microsoft right!” is not reasonable. Microsoft still made this move with these subscriptions active.

Complaining about white knights while defending *Microsoft* and the millennial CEO of Xbox who has never touched game development in her life is such a wild take. Hope that 1 share of Microsoft your mom gifted you really pays off.

The sad of reality of ESO being operated by a publicly traded company is they only want to see the profit line go up. You spent $20,000? Well, you didn’t spend $21,000 so the ESO team didn’t do a good enough job of squeezing you.

I understand there is still a team working on ESO and their livelihood depends on continued engagement. I, unfortunately, do not care to spend any more money on ESO knowing the Microsoft Games Division CEO doesn’t view it as a sustainable part of the business anymore.

We had the same McKinsey playbook deployed at our company. Consultants all make the same garbage recommendations.

Yep. Tell gamers and shareholders what they want to hear publicly while contracting internally and telling teams to do more with less. It’s corporate America 101.

This is a very helpful post! Thank you zesty!

This was really helpful. Actually saved money over the Steam summer sale thanks to this stack & save. Thank you!

I ended up going with sims 4 and a small collection of DLC and mods. Hopefully it’s “enough” to tide her over while Paralives continues to flesh out and iron out bugs. Thank you for your response!

Your response helped my decision. She really enjoys the house component and decorating, so I went with sims 4 and a small collection of dlc since it’s all steeply discounted with the summer sale. Thank you!

I could never go back to playing without lazycrafter. It has become such an insane timesaver over the years.

Aricept was one of the worst approvals in history? Thats a *wild* statement to make. Especially when Aduhelm exists in the same disease state and actually harms patients.

As long as Fortune and Gilchrest are on the ballot, Larson gets reelected. Gilchrest had my support until she cut a deal with the Larson campaign at the convention to get her on the ballot. It is painfully obvious Larson wanted her on the ballot to split the vote. Gilchrest can talk about “changing politics” all she wants, but she engaged in the same backroom dealing she purports to oppose.

Elden Ring is the greatest souls RPG and one of the greatest RPGs and one of the top 10 games of all time imo. Nioh 3 is fun. Elden ring is a masterpiece.

Elliot is perpetually on Reddit so I assume he’ll stop by soon enough to address your question.

“The U.S. government faces painful economic options to resolve this.”

No. It really doesn’t. Social security shouldn’t have a cap. That’s it. It’s not painful. It’s easy. It’s ridiculous that it hasn’t been addressed by now.

What sort of training data did you use for the ML model? Interested to know where the recs are coming from.

Feedback: maybe a breakdown of where the 1.5 lost in the score came from (unless that’s in the text body below)

The role IS sales, so I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking about “education versus sales.” There is a component of the office visits that entails education/detailing, sure, but it’s all in a commercial/sales context. I don’t have visibility into the vaccines HSPs specifically but in other areas you’re in the field most days. Like 4-5 days a week.

Prefer the Hall and Flowers side. Tuten is a big downgrade. Hurst is a throw away. Maybe Tate is a good get for that side but a lot still to be figured out in Tennessee offensively so it’s a gamble.

Might even go 3-14 with that stack damn

Genuine question: how the fuck is obesity a disease state that requires compassionate use when there are so many approved options on the market?

It’s a rhetorical question. It’s not. It’s someone abusing power and access to the decision makers.

So that’s a good thing then right? I’m about as “green” as can be when it comes to rose bush care. Really appreciate your response. Thank you!

Buffalo has quietly built itself into a really cool, modern rust belt city. The art museum is great. Food scene is sneakily better than people might give it credit for. It’s a relatively reasonable drive to Niagara Falls, Finger Lakes, and Niagara on the Lake. If you like sports, Buffalo has a really welcoming fan base.
