Here is the cipher. The question has been scrambled from its original form.
Here is the key:
The first to give me the answer to the question will get 10k MB and a unique badge. The only hint I will give is that I started with the Caesar cypher method. Badge should be ready in the next few days or so. The next 4 will get 10k mb.
!ghosts would someone in badgemaxxers mind pinging them please?

PC G*mer Link: President of Xbox asked about the closure of Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks, spends close to a minute saying almost nothing
@ 4:00 is the question
Edit: I watched the video again. If you pay attention really closely, she's just whispering under her breath the words โshareholder valueโ for 17 minutes.
I wonder does she talk in this way in all parts of life, because conversation with her would be impossible.
Imagine being her husband and asking her "How was your day, honey?" and then just getting bombarded with buzzwords and corp-speak that says absolutely nothing, let alone answer the question.
Bonnie Ross vibes (who?? )
its this everyone of these guys from Xbox are MBA drones on $500k or more none of them are g*mers, none of them have ever picked up a controller, all of them have a placeholder Xbox g*mer account with token acheivements etc. yusuf mehdi, mr. tv tv tv tv - they're all the same.... slick slimy advertising buttholes and this is why xbox is always going to be #3 i think at least nintendo and to some extent, playstation has some dedicated folks at the reins... ie. mark cerny seems to be a great h/w person and theres people like Kaz Yamauchi.... truly... savants and yet if you look at other MS alumni like Panos Panay, I'm not sure its better if you throw it to them... was it different with peter moore j. allard behind the wheel? well yeah. the current staff going back to mattrick makes me not want to spend money on xbox
She's the president? lol. Xbox is fricked
McKinsey word salad
some good fighting among redditeurs
They really have no idea what they're doing
If only they had experts like the ones in reddit, theyd be successful.
If only they had more white knights like you to guard them
I'm not claiming to be an expert, but when a studio releases Hi-Fi Rush, it receives insane reviews, great sales, and GOTY nominations/awards, is praised by the publisher, then is immediately shut down, then the publisher comes out and says "we need smaller games that win awards"... I mean yes like I said I'm no expert BUT COME THE FRICK ON. They clearly have no idea what they're doing. I'm no expert but I know that Nintendo doesn't just fire a bunch of people after their game sells like crazy, and that company has been making games WAY longer than Microsoft. It doesn't take an expert to see that Microsoft has no idea how to manage game publishing.
Did it have great sales tho? It's not like it was an indie game that cost nothing to make and it was only sold at $30.
It's hard to find hard numbers on it because it's digital only but according to the wiki it has had over 3,000,000 players between both sales and Game Pass and it's now releasing on Playstation and Switch. I'd say it's been a financial success.
I seriously doubt it had โgreat salesโ. It probably had the opposite of that for Microsoft to shut them down. I seriously doubt Microsoft were like โthis studio is making us truck load of money let's close themโ. Great user and critic reviews isn't going to save a studio at the end of the day if no one bought the game. And this is not the first game that underpowered from them. Ghostwyre Tokyo failed financially too and that was marketed by Sony and launched on Ps5/PC.
Over 3,000,000 players across sales and Game Pass. And even if sales were low that falls on the publisher for not advertising the game correctly. When all the critics and fans say the game is a 10/10 then the developers did their job flawlessly. Microsoft should've advertised it more if sales were down.
goes on and on

Another day, another MTG and Warhammer controversy. Today's episode actually begins with some YouTuber on a one man crusade to destroy Kotaku. Some jurnalist took issue with this and the YouTuber started making fun of her. In a reasonable escalation of the situation, the jurno tracks down the Tuber's wife and starts DMing her. They go back and forth slinging shit at each other and of course the j*urnaloid can't help but claim harassment. This is where the story proper begins:
Paul Scott Canavan, a MtG and Warhammer artist tweets the following:
This is absolutely the play - we should be doing this with all these weird creeps. Track down their significant others and mothers and string them up.
Surely, this was posted in good faith. Unfortunately, bigot chuds took issues with his tweet and Paul doubled down until bravely private his Twitter and Instagram.
The following threads have some good redditard discussion on it. /r/freemagic will likely go on a campaign to get him fired, and even /r/mtg seems to largely denounce his behavior.
Some choice comments:
Guess this guy has never heard of a slippery slope.
What a loser.
He meant proverbially. Like held accountable.
His wording was flagrant. But I do t think he actually meant to hang people.
It's hyperbole I believe.
It's another episode of the words we say don't mean what they mean!
I am not one for cruxifying people for their opinions, but holy shit threatening peoples family because they don't agree with this jerk offs opinion and ideology is a new fricking low.
That's not what happened here, though. If you look at the context, what he was saying is that if someone is harassing women online their actions should be shown to the women in their life.
He's not saying kill the families of online trolls, the title of this post is really misleading.
"Track down their significant others and mothers and string them up.โ
That is verbatim what his tweet said. How is the title misleading?
Several other redditards crawl out of the woodwork to explain how Paul is defending women, so his calls for killing are good, actually.
I believe unfortunately he has a history of sketchy behaviour. He is the one who posted sales of his artist proof cards and then ghosted people and scammed them out of some money.
Hmm, maybe this guy is based after allโฆ
I think you are perpetuating a bad faith interpretation of a poorly worded tweet.
โBad Faith! Bad Faith! Bad Faith!โ say the line, redditor!
Anyways, place your bets on whether or not this brave woman defender will keep his role as a Magic and Warhammer artist. Personally, I hope he gets fired because he already seems like a schizo. Losing his job would likely make him even more deranged.

The Trudeau regime has introduced an Orwellian new law called the Online Harms Bill C-63, which will give police the power to retroactively search the Internet for โhate speechโ violations and arrest offenders, even if the offence occurred before the law existed.

The Trudeau regime has introduced an Orwellian new law called the Online Harms Bill C-63, which will give police the power to retroactively search the Internet for โhate speech' violations and arrest offenders, even if the offence occurred before the law existed.
This new bill is aimed at safeguarding the masses from so-called โhate speech.โ
https://Revolver.news reports: The real shocker in this bill is the alarming retroactive aspect. Essentially, whatever you've said in the past can now be weaponized against you by today's draconian standards. Historian Dr. Muriel Blaive has weighed in on this draconian law, labeling it outright โmad.โ She points out how it literally spits in the face of all Western legal traditions, especially the one about only being punished if you infringed on a law that was valid at the time of committing a crime.

It apparently started when SNOY started mandating linking PSN accounts to steam/PC version of the game
/r/PCGaming: Helldivers 2 to require linking Steam account to a Playstation account starting on May 6th. It was previously optional due to technical issues at launch
/r/Games : HELLDIVERS 2 Account Linking Update
The revolution begins
Aftermath:
/r/steam : Helldivers 2 went from one of the most beloved Steam games to one of the most hated pretty quickly
PCGaming :

Apparently some countries can't create PSN accounts like Sri Lanka and they can't play the game they bought now because they can't create a PSN account
Just lastweek they were dunking on Tarkov, the irony

Jesus Christ, lady, I hope your book has paragraphs!
Let's chop this up a bit.
...it's in a fantasy setting, it also has a coming of age aspect to it and takes place over about 6 years, and they age from 12-18. im thinking hard about how to write them right in their early ages, like 12-14, and i feel like i'm doing it wrong. i'm putting more focus on their character and specific personalities but i'm wondering if, as a girl, maybe i'm accidentally making them too โgirlyโ and โsoft.โ
i like to make them enjoy the simple things in life, like exploring and enjoying nature, and they also like to talk about their feelings and their hurts. but is that a thing boys do? im trying to make them realistic but sometimes i forget that i was never a boy and i'll never know what it is like to be a boy. and to top it all off, it's a gay romance (it takes awhile though, so they're just friends in the beginning). it just happened to be that way, i wanted a romance that wasn't straight and i felt my story didn't fit two girls (again, there's a difference but idk what it is!)
... i just want these characters to feel real and not how i โthinkโ they're supposed to be. i can't decide if gender is just a construct and it doesn't matter if they're a boy or a girl, or if their outlook on life IS different and they should be written differently. both? what mistakes should i avoid in writing male leads when i'm not a male?
"Have you tried adding reason and accountability?"
Nah, it's a good question. Writing any type of romance you haven't been in is obviously challenging. Writing the opposite s*x requires observation skills, reading and engaging with their work (a bitter pill for moids), and a healthy imagination. You also have to be able to set aside your preconceptions about how people should work, and your desire to fix them. For example, in this case it's not just that men usually don't talk about our feelings, or that we feel uncomfortable doing so. Often, we don't want to. How do these sorts of things affect a developing gay relationship?
But as usual, /r/writing offers reassurance instead of seriously engaging with an OP who wants real answers. Many also get bogged down making very important points about gender.
It's MY SETTING, and I get to pick the gender roles!!
Actual good advice to tell a story about boys erased in real time by genderslop.
In my fictional society, sexy women with big tits are expected to throw themselves at members of !bookworms and !writecel
Of course you can write a world with different social "rules." But the farther it diverges, the less it has to say about real people in our own world, and the more it has to say about the author's own desires and hangups. Might as well say some coomer's monster girl erotica is commentary about female gender roles.
This isn't actually out of nowhere because the full OP mentioned "The Song of Achilles," but lmao
Differentiate your characters from each other. Give them flaws. Let their differences and flaws produce tension. Two guys who are just soft and sensitive and slowly start touching peepees isn't a story. Even a hack writer would make one of them the emotional one and the other the moody, silent one or whatever.
A couple more people actually gave decent advice, like here, but of course low effort "You're perfect just the way you are!" advice is upvoted while interesting stuff is near the bottom.
As a straight man, I'll never understand this trend. If the men in your gay romance act like women, why make them men at all? Reading gay erotica should be a form of escapism where you can imagine loving relationships without having to deal with women. At least, that's why I read it.

Answer was quite simple after saying the patient was incorrect about denials. She forgot she had recently gotten a flu shot and Covid booster. Checked her vaccination record because EMR stated she had these done concurrently, left the examination room to confirm dates and lined up. This led to acute lymphadenopathy of her right armpit. Patient was able to RTC 7 days later with full reduction and deemed just an adverse side effect of the vaccinations. Patient never returned but was seen by sister hospital alive and well for her yearly physical. That was WNR for everything.
