A group of investors including private-equity firm Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund could unveil a deal for the publisher best known for its sports games as soon as next week, WSJ said.

Is there a way to get a list of the top company’s involved? I’m curious who the owners would be. This implies it would mostly be Saudi Arabia, but it isn’t clear.

Plex hasn’t been getting better, but it still does what I need. I have a lifetime pass from years ago. If I was starting today I would be a lot less inclined to pay for Plex though. They keep adding things I don’t want.

The definition of pedophilia is sexual attraction towards children. So if the anime characters are all clearly representing children, then sure, why not count that.

The thing is, there is a lot of art that is kind of vague on age. The loli girl stuff creeps me out. But the older teenager / young adult anime/art feels a little more like general human brain. Especially if the user isn’t trying to seek it out. No one is perfect.

But in this case obviously sexualizing something that looks like a child is creepy. Elon’s age is not helping him either…

I have a lot of curiosity about Trans and I’m impressed your so open to questions. I fear that my questions might come off poorly and it isn’t my intention, I just don’t know how to ask these in the best light.

1. I see that you mentioned there are studies that point to Trans likely being a mismatch between the brain and body at development. But, do you think there is also a link that involves childhood trauma? Or is the science very clear?

2. I often find myself uncomfortable with Trans people in person, but I often wonder if half of that is simply that I don’t know how to treat someone. The ones that I met that had relatively normal behavior I found pretty easy to talk to and I felt for them. But ones that were more complicated, say neurodivergent beyond dysphoria, or they had a lot of emotional trauma, made me very uncomfortable. Do you think most of this issue is that as children we are taught how to treat people that are squarely female or male, rather than learning how to treat people as a whole?

I often wish the world wasn’t so hostile, but I also find that some things that were set in motion in my childhood are the hardest to change. It’s easy to change what I act on, but harder to change how I feel.

Thank you again for doing this!

Eh, enough if their content can exist fine without calling anyone out. I don’t think it’s what any of them really want to do, they prefer to focus on games. I feel like they mostly call out individual game performance.

You are right in that their consistency in what they get upset about seems inconsistent. It does feel like it might depend on what company was nice to them recently. But I still think the heart of their content works even with that issue.

Optimized settings was my favorite thing too.

Yeah, I was surprised when I realized Japan loved it so much. Them and my grandmother. I actually like it but in much smaller amounts.

I mean a lot of billionaires keep messing with New Zealand politics because it is one of their backup islands to flee to after they destroy their current homes.

It would help if there were guarantees you could download via Nintendo servers for X years as long as the company exists. They would never agree, but something like 40 years. Then if the company no longer exists it’s given to the community.

It’s true though, unless something crazy like that became normal, physical games have significantly more value. I do think that the average person cares more about price and convenience today vs whatever happens tomorrow.
