Dammam No. 7

Xbox was the only Microsoft product that I liked, paid for and used. I don’t use Windows or Office -except when mandated at work-, but I’ve had the Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox Series S. I have over 300 owned digital games on Xbox. I decided to move away from Xbox a year ago, I never used Steam before Autumn last year, and now I game on the Steam Deck more than anything else. The writing has been on the wall for a few years now though, so this news isn’t surprising. I still wanted to get an Xbox Series X to keep playing the digital games I collected over the years and was waiting for a price cut but they went and raised the prices instead.

Why even be in the video game industry?

Where’s the High Speed Rail?

In a movie from 2008, so it wasn’t that long ago. You’d think they would have known better by then. Another reminder to boycott Disney.

It has different names in different markets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_86

Isn’t this the FT86? It shouldn’t break anyone’s bank.

Plot twist: there are no phones, the whole thing is a scheme to rip off people for $64.70. Enough money to make the scam worth it, not enough for people to put in the time and effort to reclaim their money unless their credit card will compensate them.

I didn’t enjoy the Handsome Collection but free is free. Thanks for sharing.

Modern day Palestinians come in all shades from “white” to “black”. As someone who studied and argued the genealogy and ancestry of the region, here’s the gist of it:

1. Ancient Egyptians and Ancient Levantines are closely related.
2. The closest people to Ancinet Egyptians are modern day Egyptians.
3. The closest people to Ancient Levantines are modern day Yemenis, then Saudis.
4. Modern Levantines reflect millennia of migrations and conquests since the collapse of the Bronze Age.

We all knew that Microsoft wasn’t a good company. Let this news motivate you to switch to GNU/Linux.
