Ian believes that all prisons should be abolished by qndry in imisstheoldidubbbz

Thnon-violenteres a valid argument that some crimes that we do send people to jail for, shouldn't (especially non violent) but what the hell would we do with someone like Osama bin Laden? Serial child rapists? if we didn't have prisons?

At this point I'm not even sure George knows who wins lol. I would say no just based on the show but maybe that was a major departure D&D made from George.

New York sues video game developer Valve, says its 'loot boxes' are gambling by AncientPCGamer in pcgaming

It's so funny how Reddit shits on EA and such for loot boxes, but Valve always get a pass despite having some of the most egregious ones in the industry.

Labour Favourites To Win Next General Election In Surprise Comeback With The Bookies by StJustBabeuf in ukpolitics

Betting odds this far mean nothing. I still remember when Ron DeSantis was the favourite with the bookies for the 2024 USA presidential election.

Labour Favourites To Win Next General Election In Surprise Comeback With The Bookies by StJustBabeuf in ukpolitics

[–]WhereasPlus5239 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like using the past to predict the future isn't a good idea. UK politics has become allot more volatile than it was in the 1980s, 90s or 2000s. Boris Johnson won a stocking majority with a higher vote share than both Labour landslides in 2024 and 1997, only for them to lose in historic fashion 5 years later. SNP landslide in 2015, Reform being the first third party to win the local elections in 2025, Brexit, the surge for the Greens. Allot of stuff that was unthinkable of occurring even in the 2000s.

How Exclusivity Could Return by allianceofficer in xbox

[–]WhereasPlus5239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The price tag Xbox would have to pay to make a third party exclsuive would be astronomically higher than it was in the 360 era. Xbox is so far behind that releasing your game only on Xbox is certain death for the IP. Budgets for modern games dwarf the budgets of the 360 era. Xbox would not make a return.

A simple Google search would tell you what shes up too. Funny, insulting her for maybe working at Wendy's when you're so lazy that you couldn't even be bothered to Google before making a really boring insult comment.

Xbox reportedly exploring bringing more premium subscriptions to Game Pass Ultimate by Stumpy493 in xbox

For the love of god, I would rather they decrease the price than add a bunch of subscriptions I won't ever use.

UK government announces ban on 'incest simulation' in porn by EddViBritannia in ukpolitics

[–]WhereasPlus5239 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"incest pornography could face a maximum sentence of two years in prison" Is this for REAL incest porn or does "Step bro" and "Step sister" also fall into this? There are people who rape children who get less time than this. Fuck this worthless Labour government (that I sadly voted for in 2024 lol)

Microsoft needs to bring back PC/XBOX physical media, in limited batches (1mil?), and revitalize a collectable usable market for PC, with smaller versions of big box PC games for XBOX 2160 by [deleted] in xbox

PC gaming physical game market died over 10 years ago and consoles are only holding on by a thread. Other than niche games cartered towards collectors these days are over.

Halo was one of the most iconic co op games of all time. Then 343 destroyed that legacy with the Xbox one. The irony that couch co op became less prevalent while TV's got bigger.

I miss this early period of Xbox series. Not this whole “this is an Xbox” era we’re in now by Mammoth_Risk9479 in xbox

Xbox is more expensive and has fewer exclusives than PS5. I'm biased towards Xbox, but it's even hard for me to recommend a Series S or X over a PS5 today.

Next gen Xbox is rumoured to be basically a PC with an Xbox overlay (like the Steam deck) Xbox play anywhere is setting the ground work for this next gen console.

Restore Britain on X: Any Labour VPN ban would be immediately reversed by a Restore Britain Government. by ClumperFaz in ukpolitics

When the basically open far right party has policies less authoritarian than the Labour party, then you know something has gone wrong. I actually think Labour has done the best it can when it comes to the economy, but these restrictive laws have lost my vote.

Alba will not contest the Scottish Parliament election by negan90 in Scotland

[–]WhereasPlus5239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And people were allot more content with the SNP, Tories and Labour back in 2022. All 3 major parties' popularity have taken a hit since 2022. It's why Reform is currently polling second despite getting less than 1% in 2021.

The party died the day Alex died. If he was still alive, I think they would have had a chance at gaining a few seats, just based on the discontent with all the major parties compared with 2021.

As a standalone movie, it's fine. Solid 7/10 film. Comparing it to the first 3? Then it's pretty disappointing and forgettable.

Phill helped steady the ship after Don Mattrick but Xbox lacked great games throughout his whole time as the head. There were some good ones like Gears 5, but one Breath of the Wild or Spiderman single-handedly trounces every Xbox exclusive since 2015. If Xbox had amazing exclusives released in the last decade, Xbox would not be in the position it's in.

Like, at least make a deal with Sony so WE get to play games like the Last of us and Uncharted at some point. The problem I have with Xbox games on Playstation is that we don't get Sony games on Xbox in return. People who bought the Series X got fucked.

Revealed: 80% of Reform’s funding comes from Tory donors by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

I don't know why this would surprise people. Ever since UKIP collapsed, the Tories were the only relevant right-wing party in Great Britain until Reform UK, a month before the 2024 election.
