Yup this, my MIL is a pretty shitty person, cheated on my wife’s father right around the time he was dying of cancer, when he did die she kicked my wife out of the house (she was 19 at the time and just lost her father) sold it and moved 4hrs away, didn’t tell my wife where she had gone, no contact number, then proceeded to “poison the well” with her side of the family.

We recently found a letter that was supposed to go to me but never made it, from my MIL’s sister saying how bad a child my wife was and how she made her mother’s life so difficult, all bullshit, plus they didn’t talk to my wife for years after the cheating started.

Thing is, my MIL runs a facade, it wears off in a few days if your staying with her and her narcissistic tendancies come out. She is still with the man she had an affair with, and I refuse to call him family, hes my MIL’s partner if I ever need to explain it, which is often atm because hes almost on his death bed from all the alcoholism and smoking through the years

Verge has done a great job of sensationalizing this email, the actual quote is a lot less of a gotcha than the headline represents

Exactly, Sony had a great start to the PS4, they gained a lot of goodwill because they started that generation on fairly equal footing with Xbox, and MS made a lot of blunders before the consoles even went on sale. At the time, the PS4 was a better deal, and Sony was much more customer-oriented. I was mainly a 360 user, and had a PS3 but it was rarely turned on, but I went all in on PS4.

I reckon however about mid-way through the last gen Sony had enough market share to care a bit more about profits than their customers. Mainly the issues around cross-play and cross-save, some say their stance on back-compat wasn’t great, but I’m not sure I agree because it’s likely largely a technical issue.

When the mid-gen refresh started coming around, I seriously considered switching to Xbox, but PSVR helped me stay in the Sony eco-system, but I did end up going all in on Xbox for this current gen, and am happy I have done, sure I miss out on some Sony exclusives, but I certainly appreciate the user-experience more on Xbox, with things like quick-resume and smart-delivery making Xbox feel truly next-gen

Bioshock, more importantly, that scene

Git extensions, have been using it for years, and while the UI is not flashy, it gets the job done really really well.

It’s odd, most subs I frequented had votes to go dark, so majority supported the decision, wonder if it’s now the folks that remain are the minority that voted against the blackouts
