Was this game any good? Ghost of Tsushima seemed to remain in the zeitgeist for a year or so after release (my impression anyway). I can't remember anything about this game after it came out.

I am a sucker for games with this look!

I am curious, do you know why they can't kill it? The only reason I can think of is that "new" reddit requires access or something?

For sure. Society has moved beyond a few breaking points. I still think something what you described in your reply would help ease some of the growing wealth gap even if implemented today, but I know actually realizing such a program is a fantasy.

I followed an index fund investing method and am now removed from many pain points of capitalism. I try to share this anybody who bring up "I am worried about my future as I have no plans." Many enjoy the conversation, but if even one in a hundred actually makes efforts to follow it means at least they will benefit.

I think this map is a little dishonest and should be titled "What Offers Citzenship From Birth - Land or Blood?" I live in a country where I can absolutely naturalize after 5 years. I was not born here and my parents are not from here. This is true of many countries if you make the effort to get a work visa and show you want to be part of their society/culture.

I really agree with your comment. It is a relationship and that relationship has been tipped in favor of one side that has taken things to extreme and fails society.

You mention making the doers part-owners. I’ve always found buying broad based index funds that buy the entire stock market the easiest way to do that.

I wish we required (yes I know how people feel about that word) everybody to invest 10% of their paycheck into something like that. If we had started this 40 years ago the workers would all be owners and benefit from the raising stock market.

You’d also have to teach people to buy and hold for their career (the long-term) but some would still sell for dumb reasons like a new iPhone or PS5.

So yeah…

This also worked for me for the longest time. I recently stopped using Reddit (as we all should) but if you gotta use it at least use old.reddit.com/r/subredditname

Good. Cancel your streaming services. All of them. Just pirate shit.

I love that I finally made the move from Xbox to PS just for Sony to become Microsoft.

I want there to be a strong competitor in the console market to Sony and Nintendo, I just don't think it is Microsoft. I'd love to be wrong...

Thanks. I’ve double checked that I am on my home Xbox and tried signing in and out a few times as well as redownloading from Web store but still no luck. Looks like I’ll have to contact MS. Appreciate your replies though.

This is exactly what I thought when I read this. That funny little commercial they made back then isn’t so funny now.

 

Back in 2018 I played Spec Ops the Line on my Xbox One. I do not remember ever owning the disc version and vaguely remember I bought it for cheap digitally.

I know the game was delisted, but I remember hearing that was just bad news for people who wanted to buy it after the delisting. For those who purchased a license we could continue to download and play it.

Fast forward and I wanted to give it another go so I found it on the store. Store front Spec Ops the Line Page says "You own this game" and I was able to install it to my Xbox Series S. Install looks successful (6.1GB, etc).

When I try to launch the game the Xbox gives me a message "Do you own this game or app?" and to sign in etc. (I am signed in) Tried deleting and reinstalling, etc. Same thing.

Do I need to restore my license or something? When I look at my order history from 2018 I do not see the purchase. However I know I played it (I have unlocked acheevos) and the MS Store says "You own this game" and lets me install.

Any suggestions before I try talking to MS (and probably just being told "Sorry, it is delisted so nothing we can do...?"
