Yeah, the search space needs more competition and Google's enshitification of their own services has left a huge opening for someone to disrupt their search dominance. I already use Bing for image searches and DuckDuckGo for a lot of my web searches when Google fails me or I don't want my search for some random thing I'll never need to see again to get interpreted by Google as a new thing to try and advertise to me.
It's a ballsy move they're assuming subscription revenue from Game Pass and whatnot will offset the $70 bucks every COD-playing subscriber would have otherwise forked out for the game and then be locked into subscribing until the next COD to not lose access to it. That's forgoing a whole lot of upfront cash on the promise of subs (and the in-game microtransactions). Maybe they think it'll give them some edge in console sales vs PS5 who's users wouldn't be getting that "free" access, trying to get the benefits of making COD XB exclusive without actually making it exclusive (since they can't since they pinky promised not to in the Activision buyout). Sneaky buggers.
This show man. Nobody was expecting it to be so good. Still remember watching Fred have the worst bloodless death in the history of live action television. In a show where they know the afterlife is real and good guys go to heaven and some get brought back to life, Fred, the sweetest character, played by the beautiful Amy Acker, has her eternal soul slowly destroyed by and elder god who hollows out and takes up residence in her body for the rest of the show. Illyria was awesome but the implications of having your soul destroyed in the Buffyverse in particular was fuuuuucked up.

NSFW tag isn't allowed in this sub. But I mean it's a dolphin hole, seems like a grey area at worst. But I'll delete it if you want?
Beats me, I only use a couple AI tools and not too often.
