| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Speaking of Medical. | Sep 28 00:29 |
|---|---|---|
| IsambardPrince | I just filed an applciation for the Medicare Savings Program and Medicaid. | Sep 28 00:29 |
| IsambardPrince | If I get MSP they have to go back to paying for my prescriptions. | Sep 28 00:29 |
| IsambardPrince | And if I get Medicaid they'd have to pay even the small copays left after Extra Help. | Sep 28 00:30 |
| IsambardPrince | So once I havee Medicaid I plan to sign up for a private insurance policy under Medicare-Medicaid Alignment. | Sep 28 00:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Basically, Blue Cross would get money from both programs, insure me, and pay all my bills. | Sep 28 00:30 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], For now I can easily get back on Medicaid. | Sep 28 00:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm exempt from the work requirements and documentation that they use to snow people under and force them into taking bad jobs and documenting it. | Sep 28 00:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Some people are marginal, and the government knows this. They can work if they take medicine, so the government takes away their medicine so they can't work, then says they don't get medicine because they don't work. | Sep 28 00:41 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Medicaid work requirements goes like this: | Sep 28 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | The message is that "You have to go work for a rich person who is putting all their money in a tax shelter. Then the person you are making rich doesn't even have to buy you a health insurance plan. You have to ask the government for one. Medicaid. But if you stop being useful to the rich person who is avoiding his taxes, and lose the job, the government will stop giving you healthcare. Therefore, you are only valued if you can work." | Sep 28 01:22 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I applied the Laffer Curve to Payroll Tax. | Sep 28 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | My point was basically this. | Sep 28 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | The Social Security and Medicare trust funds will be depleted within 3-4 years. | Sep 28 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | In 1935, there were about 47 workers per retiree. Today there's about 2.7 workers per retiree. | Sep 28 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Real wage growth has been nonexistent since roughly 1999. | Sep 28 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Congress says they're going to "patch" the system. | Sep 28 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | One item under consideration is payroll tax increases. | Sep 28 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | But workers are already stretched to the breaking point to pay for food, rent, transportation, utilities, and healthcare. | Sep 28 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | If the payroll tax goes up, workers will probably resort to noncompliance, and so will employers, through a cash economy, under-reporting, 1099 misclassification, etc. | Sep 28 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | The Laffer Curve predicts this because at 0% and 100% tax rates, you get zero tax, so there must exist an ideal tax rate, somewhere. | Sep 28 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | But if the workers are already barely eeking by or in credit card debt and in the red every month, there's no margin to raise the Payroll Tax even a little. | Sep 28 01:44 |
| MinceR | i don't see the problem. the majority of usian voters have already declared that they want the country to become a destitute shithole, and that they themselves also want to be poor and live poorly | Sep 28 01:44 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Cook County emailed me. | Sep 28 01:44 |
| IsambardPrince | They said my ballot is in the mail. | Sep 28 01:44 |
| IsambardPrince | I can't make much difference but I can make some. | Sep 28 01:45 |
| IsambardPrince | That Raja Krishnamoorthi guy did a little too well during the Democratic Primary, but he did not win. | Sep 28 01:45 |
| IsambardPrince | He's currently in the House of Representatives. He voted Yes on a Republican resolution thanking ICE. | Sep 28 01:46 |
| IsambardPrince | So I didn't really need to know much more than that. | Sep 28 01:46 |
| IsambardPrince | There's no excuse to have voted that way on the resolution given the terrorism that ICE has subjected American citizens to. | Sep 28 01:46 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], On healthcare, Medicaid creates a benefits cliff. | Sep 28 06:00 |
| IsambardPrince | With ACA Medicaid, if you earn just $1 over 138 of the Federal Poverty Line for your household size, you lose Medicaid. | Sep 28 06:01 |
| IsambardPrince | When you lose Medicaid, you have to buy a private insurance plan with less coverage and a high deductible. | Sep 28 06:01 |
| IsambardPrince | The result is that no rational person would try to earn more than 138% of the FPL unless they could earn a lot more. | Sep 28 06:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Which is why people actually ask their boss to cut their hours or not give them a raise. | Sep 28 06:02 |
| IsambardPrince | If a small raise is going to cost you thousands in healthcare expenses, you don't want that raise. | Sep 28 06:02 |
| IsambardPrince | So the benefit cliff results in lower productivity, less tax receipts, and a disincentive to earn more money and move up in the world. | Sep 28 06:03 |
| IsambardPrince | That's not to say that the NHS is the way to go but at least you don't lose the NHS at some arbitrary income cutoff. | Sep 28 06:03 |
| IsambardPrince | I would just argue that the cutoff point for ACA Medicaid should be much higher. | Sep 28 06:04 |
| IsambardPrince | The government self-limited its tax revenue and has given employers an incentive to cut hours and keep wages low so they can dump people on Medicaid | Sep 28 06:04 |
| IsambardPrince | And let other workers pay for it. | Sep 28 06:04 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not Walmart paying for Medicaid. | Sep 28 06:04 |
| IsambardPrince | It's workers, every time they look at a paystub. | Sep 28 06:05 |
| IsambardPrince | They're paying for Medicaid even if they don't get Medicaid. | Sep 28 06:05 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | having been subjected to that | Sep 28 06:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | graveley and garrett also | Sep 28 06:37 |
| IsambardPrince | He should be sanctioned. | Sep 28 06:37 |
| IsambardPrince | They should refer him to whoever in Ontario enforces the mental hygiene laws. | Sep 28 06:37 |
| IsambardPrince | And have the police take him there because nobody like that ever gets on medication willingly. | Sep 28 06:37 |
| IsambardPrince | There's psychotic mental illness that causes pain for the patient, and so they seek help. | Sep 28 06:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | this was covered in https://techrights.org/n/2026/08/30/SLAPP_Censorship_Part_166_Out_of_200_Garrett_Wasn_t_Found_Innoc.shtml | Sep 28 06:38 |

| IsambardPrince | And there's psychotic mental illness where the patient is too far gone to seek help themselves, and they're a bother to those around them. | Sep 28 06:38 |
| IsambardPrince | That's Lozza. | Sep 28 06:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | FTA: | Sep 28 06:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "The above-mentioned insecurities relate to the fact that we sued Garrett in September 2024 [1, 2], a few weeks before his litigation buddy showed up. He is a vexatious litigant who sued his own female victims and then sued people who merely pointed out what happened, citing arrest records and such. | Sep 28 06:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Such vexatious litigants (and sometimes defamation trolls [1, 2]) are the "core business" of Brett Wilson LLP. We've been told by many people and law firms that Brett Wilson LLP was already notorious for this. They'd take/embrace the cases no other law firm would wish to associate with. Put another way, Brett Wilson LLP was like a "last resort" to objectionable litigants. Publicly, they always operate through their "fall guy" or p | Sep 28 06:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | atsy. They try to fool judges and trick them into thinking the people they attack are "racist". We've seen this time after time... | Sep 28 06:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | To be clear, I only ever sued in response to vexatious litigants trying to misuse the courts of another continent to force people to remediate (take actions) and lose money. Also, to set the record straight, we did set out evidence (e.g. Schedule of Harassment) and the judge (Master D.) sided with us on two claims initially (January 2025), the second judge acknowledged we had been subjected to abuse but wanted more evidence regard | Sep 28 06:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ing the attribution of it." | Sep 28 06:38 |
| IsambardPrince | I feel sorry for Lozza. They did the whole transgender surgery on him. | Sep 28 06:39 |
| IsambardPrince | And it did not help with the depression and psychosis. | Sep 28 06:40 |
| IsambardPrince | It made it worse. | Sep 28 06:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Everyone around him reacted negatively to that. | Sep 28 06:40 |
| IsambardPrince | And so he thinks that's their fault after he openly defied societal norms and expected it to go well. | Sep 28 06:40 |
| IsambardPrince | If I walk in somewhere wearing purple lipstick and a dress and they respond badly to that. | Sep 28 06:41 |
| IsambardPrince | That's not their fault. | Sep 28 06:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody wants to see a guy with purple lipstick and a dress unless it's some sort of bizarre comedy. | Sep 28 06:41 |
| IsambardPrince | The only people trying to say that's acceptable are politicians who are scrounging for votes. | Sep 28 06:42 |
| IsambardPrince | The Biden Administration turned out to be uniquely horrible in many ways. | Sep 28 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | From being threatened for not wanting to take 100 doses of a vaccine that proved to be defective and dangerous. | Sep 28 06:45 |
| IsambardPrince | To having to watch "Rachel" Levine in drag and seriously consider that this person is a pediatrician that some people took children to? | Sep 28 06:45 |
| IsambardPrince | If I was a parent and went to see a pediatrician I thought was a woman and that walked in we'd be finding a different one. | Sep 28 06:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i won't comment on some of what you saidm | Sep 28 06:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or endorse it, but... | Sep 28 06:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <IsambardPrince> And it did not help with the depression and psychosis. | Sep 28 06:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that goes a very long way back | Sep 28 06:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | goblin here in IRC (offline this morning) banned Lozza | Sep 28 06:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | around 2011 I think | Sep 28 06:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for abusing goblin | Sep 28 06:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and even his dad | Sep 28 06:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so attacking people and their family was a thing even 15 years ago | Sep 28 06:58 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | it's against feminism | Sep 28 07:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's something like this | Sep 28 07:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1) women had it easy | Sep 28 07:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2) they stayed home, looked after house and kids | Sep 28 07:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 3) then came feminism | Sep 28 07:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 4) now women are expected to work and also do (2) | Sep 28 07:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 5) wages decreeased | Sep 28 07:04 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | the same group says men are on the short end of the stick | Sep 28 07:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for going to wars | Sep 28 07:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i don't agree with this | Sep 28 07:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | men are in a position of advantage in many areas | Sep 28 07:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | inc. politics | Sep 28 07:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the idea that women are in power or better off by not participating assumes the goal is life is to be happily submissive | Sep 28 07:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they make up names and terms for those things | Sep 28 07:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like "tradwife" | Sep 28 07:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, twice as many workers + Globalization = Bad wages. | Sep 28 07:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody at home to look after kids. | Sep 28 07:06 |
| IsambardPrince | No money for kids. | Sep 28 07:06 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], If it were up to me I'd do a hybrid Free Trade system where the US only gets rid of tariffs with peer nations and only if it's reciprocal. | Sep 28 07:07 |
| techrights-news | We'll continue posting as usual in IRC but when abused by racists and their social control media distortions/hallucinations the Techrights team will rebut | Sep 28 07:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Cuts out the third world and Chinese sweatshops altogether. | Sep 28 07:07 |
| IsambardPrince | No FTAs with Communists. | Sep 28 07:07 |
| IsambardPrince | The reason "Free Trade" happened with Communist countries and the third world is because it's good for business. | Sep 28 07:08 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not good for the nation. | Sep 28 07:08 |
| techrights-news | Meanwhile it seems like Garrett posts Nazi era-esque caricatures of people. What are you, a racist? | Sep 28 07:08 |
| IsambardPrince | It's one of those "We're living in a post-government era." things the tech bros talk about. | Sep 28 07:08 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't see any sense in what Trump is doing. | Sep 28 07:09 |
| IsambardPrince | He's declared economic war on the UK and Canada, but also people that we should be veering away from alike. | Sep 28 07:09 |
| techrights-news | (He probably is, he's not good at hiding it anymore) | Sep 28 07:09 |
| IsambardPrince | It's worse than leaving things how they were. | Sep 28 07:09 |
| techrights-news | People should be able to openly point that out. He'll ignore the body of the message and flip out. | Sep 28 07:09 |
| techrights-news | It's quite revealing that he is a Narcissus, literally framing court transcripts to hang, much like psychopaths in Hollywood films | Sep 28 07:10 |
| IsambardPrince | The reason a FTA with Canada did not mean the death of the American middle class was that when you open up markets like that, similar wages, similar living standard, different products to buy out of each other's economy. | Sep 28 07:10 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not that "giant sucking sound" Ross Perot talked about. | Sep 28 07:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Now, you throw in Mexico and there's the giant sucking sound. | Sep 28 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | NAFTA? | Sep 28 07:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, before NAFTA we had an agreement that was only with Canada. | Sep 28 07:13 |
| IsambardPrince | I remember NAFTA and all of a sudden you went from VCRs that said "Made in USA" to ones that said Mexico, then DVD players from Mexico, then VCRs and DVD players from China. | Sep 28 07:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Like everything, it goes where it's cheapest. | Sep 28 07:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Out of all of the VCRs that survived all these years, you hardly ever see the "newer" ones that were not made in the USA or Japan, the ones from the USA or Japan, many still work. | Sep 28 07:14 |
| IsambardPrince | But the newer models that were from Mexico and China, not many of them. | Sep 28 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i think my stereo was made in korea | Sep 28 07:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i listen to 90s music on it atm | Sep 28 07:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Isn't it amazing how something made in the 70s-1995 or so still shows up at thrift stores constantly, in working order. | Sep 28 07:15 |
| IsambardPrince | But all the Mexico and China ones, gone. | Sep 28 07:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but maybe even in the early 90s ssouth korea used chinese factories | Sep 28 07:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2 days ago i assked rianne about buyying: | Sep 28 07:15 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | 2) or walkman | Sep 28 07:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | those areee very cheap and still work | Sep 28 07:16 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I noticed on my copy of Dolphin (the emulator). | Sep 28 07:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i don't know if the film won't tear | Sep 28 07:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | some tapes I have are super-old | Sep 28 07:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Nintendo Wii games often run faster than Gamecube games. | Sep 28 07:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Even though Gamecube was a much older console. | Sep 28 07:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The CDs all still work though | Sep 28 07:16 |
| IsambardPrince | I think the bottleneck causing stuttering is all those games that have to emulate the different pools of 1T-SRAM and the slower "ARAM" area. | Sep 28 07:17 |
| IsambardPrince | To get emulation working right, you have all these timing issues. | Sep 28 07:17 |
| IsambardPrince | The Wii was clocked faster, but it got rid of the separate data transfer speeds for memory pools. | Sep 28 07:17 |
| IsambardPrince | I see some piles of 8 track tapes at Goodwill. | Sep 28 07:18 |
| IsambardPrince | They're obviously damaged. | Sep 28 07:18 |
| IsambardPrince | They just sit there. Nobody buys them. | Sep 28 07:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the issue that is big is not the tapes | Sep 28 07:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but a lack of functional player | Sep 28 07:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the mecchanics of them | Sep 28 07:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | even in the 90s the engine that rotates would not last too long | Sep 28 07:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or become too weak, not sue to a lack of current | Sep 28 07:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it would be hard to find replacement parts in 2026 | Sep 28 07:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | even in ebay, i'd assume | Sep 28 07:21 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], $199 wasn't a bad price for the Gamecube. | Sep 28 19:23 |
| IsambardPrince | I'd like to see them go back to that design philosophy. | Sep 28 19:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Put a really nice ARM SoC in something of that form factor. | Sep 28 19:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Go back to traditional controls, HDMI out. | Sep 28 19:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Maybe a motion sensor in the traditional control. | Sep 28 19:23 |
| IsambardPrince | They could lower the price point a lot if the Switch 2 didn't have removable joycons, a docking station, and an embedded screen. | Sep 28 19:24 |
| IsambardPrince | You could still sell something like that for $249 or whatever if it was just a box with ports that connected to a TV. | Sep 28 19:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Even with inflation and tariffs. | Sep 28 19:24 |
| IsambardPrince | They're selling a $499 base console into a hyperinflationary recession, and they get away with it because Sony and Microsoft are like $700-800 now, right? | Sep 28 19:26 |
| parsifal | <MinceR> seems to me the truth... -> i hold a slightly different opinion on the matter | Sep 28 19:27 |

| parsifal | In principle, realistically speaking, there is no such thing as "truth," because there are always at least two perspectives on any given event, fact, and so on; absolute truth is a chimera, a mirage | Sep 28 19:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *pounds | Sep 28 19:27 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.bbc.co.uk | Xbox Series X price hiked by Β£170 due to rising memory chip costs - BBC News | Sep 28 19:27 | |
| IsambardPrince | Because the PS2 and Xbox had bad SDKs and were inefficient. | Sep 28 19:28 |
| MinceR | sure, people like to sell lies as "perspective" | Sep 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Β£670 | Sep 28 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | And priced $100 higher than GCN. | Sep 28 19:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "In the US, its basic consoles rose by $100 to $499, and the cost of a console with more memory increased by $150 to $749." | Sep 28 19:28 |
| MinceR | i still don't know how a universe in which truth is subjective yet subjects have ways of interacting is supposed to work | Sep 28 19:28 |
| MinceR | what if X believes Y to be dead but not vice versa and they meet and Y tries to talk to X? | Sep 28 19:28 |
| IsambardPrince | The GCN was better where it counted. The main pool of RAM had random read latency of 5-10 ns. | Sep 28 19:30 |
| IsambardPrince | The Xbox had a unified pool that was 64 MB, but it was just standard RAM from a PC. | Sep 28 19:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Random read latency was horrible at 60 ns or so. | Sep 28 19:31 |
| parsifal | MinceR: don't shoot the messenger; things are the way they are -> i don't determine the cosmic order Β―\_( γ)_/Β― | Sep 28 19:32 |

| IsambardPrince | The Gekko processor was a fairly powerful PPC chip from IBM. | Sep 28 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft had Intel slip them some defective Pentium 3s with half the on-die cache burned out. | Sep 28 19:33 |
| MinceR | microslop loves defective stuff | Sep 28 19:33 |
| MinceR | also, the fact that a cheap product could have a PPC in it shows what a different time it was | Sep 28 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, the GPU in the Xbox was pretty bad too. | Sep 28 19:34 |
| MinceR | nowadays POWER CPUs are underwhelming and yet cost a fucking fortune | Sep 28 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft just bought one from Nvidia and plugged it in. | Sep 28 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | It was not optimized at all for being in a game console. | Sep 28 19:34 |
| MinceR | i thought of the idea of obtaining a PPC-based amiga, then checked the prices, and that was that | Sep 28 19:34 |
| MinceR | ridiculous | Sep 28 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | It was just based on a card that was already obsolete by the time it ended up in the Xbox. | Sep 28 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | The Flipper GPU in the GCN was custom built and it had no wasted die area for things that were irrelevant for being in the Gamecube. | Sep 28 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft kept the Xbox manufacturing costs under control by essentially buying binned processors and obsolete GPUs. | Sep 28 19:36 |
| IsambardPrince | And they were still $100 more expensive than the GCN. | Sep 28 19:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft was still losing cash even with the cost controls. | Sep 28 19:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Teardowns estimated the cost per Xbox was $425-450. | Sep 28 19:37 |
| IsambardPrince | And they were selling them for $299. | Sep 28 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft just keeps raising the prices and it's just fucking stupid. | Sep 28 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | For the product they have now, I mean, we've moved past what they're trying to sell. | Sep 28 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | A discless machine that has to download all the games and store them using DRM. | Sep 28 19:42 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean, that's basically Steam. | Sep 28 19:42 |
| IsambardPrince | And you don't need a machine that's nearly $900 to do this. | Sep 28 19:42 |
| IsambardPrince | You can stream gaming now, even onto a Chromebook. | Sep 28 19:43 |
| IsambardPrince | If I was in charge of designing a console for Nintendo we'd be doing a GCN form factor, the GCN controller updated with motion sensors (like the Wiimote had, but in a GCN controller). | Sep 28 19:44 |
| *Received a CTCP VERSION from Harambe | Sep 28 19:44 | |
| IsambardPrince | And inside, the box would use an ARM SoC. | Sep 28 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | The controllers would be either wired or wireless. If wired, USB Type C. Like the Switch Pro controller. | Sep 28 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | The wireless option would run on AAA batteries not an internal one. | Sep 28 19:46 |
| IsambardPrince | the display would be USB-C to HDMI. | Sep 28 19:47 |
| IsambardPrince | It would basically be a fancy Gamecube. | Sep 28 19:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Packed full of the features that just did not exist in 2001 and with a much more powerful CPU/GPU. | Sep 28 19:48 |
| IsambardPrince | When you unify mobile and home gaming, you just end up getting the worst of both. | Sep 28 19:51 |

| IsambardPrince | One of the reasons why the Switch was so easy for Yuzu to emulate is that it was not a very powerful system. Previously, it would have been unheard of to emulate a current console with current PCs. | Sep 28 19:52 |
| IsambardPrince | A lot of the third-party stuff was ports from previous generation colsoles. They even put Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption on it. | Sep 28 19:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Because that was pretty much the limit of its capabilities. | Sep 28 19:53 |

| IsambardPrince | Microsoft was putting almost anything developers would license them on a disc. | Sep 28 20:02 |
| IsambardPrince | And msot of it was truly awful. | Sep 28 20:02 |
| IsambardPrince | And the original controller was almost the size of a Sega Dreamcast so they could put a big circle in the middle that said "XBOX". | Sep 28 20:03 |

| IsambardPrince | "Blackley thought he had the formula for a great system because all the components were there for a great system (and they are): a powerful graphics chip, a beefy hard drive, a fast processor and DVD capabilities. What he failed to realize was that just because you have all the raw material to make a great system doesn't mean it's going to be great. Saying the Xbox is a good system because it's powerful is like saying you made a | Sep 28 20:04 |
| IsambardPrince | great painting because you used the best set of paints." | Sep 28 20:04 |
| IsambardPrince | On paper it was powerful. | Sep 28 20:04 |
| IsambardPrince | But it had way too many chokepoints between the components. | Sep 28 20:04 |
| IsambardPrince | And the RAM was too slow even though you got a lot of it. | Sep 28 20:04 |
| IsambardPrince | And there wasn't enough on-die cache on the CPU. | Sep 28 20:05 |
| MinceR | "the most talented game developers in the world (here's a hint: YOU WON'T FIND THEM MAKING PC TITLES IN THE US ASSHOLE--GO TO JAPAN)" | Sep 28 20:06 |
| MinceR | wrong -- John Carmack, John Romero, Tom Hall, Sandy Petersen and some others were doing exactly that, exactly there | Sep 28 20:07 |
| MinceR | "the best in its genre (an honor reserved for Half Life as far as I'm concerned)." | Sep 28 20:07 |
| MinceR | wrong again, half life is a buggy mess that forces you to look very closely at how broken it is | Sep 28 20:07 |
