Gaming companies indirect assassination attempt of PC as a Gaming Platform

Gaming use to be a subject of ridicule and criticism few years ago where it was attached to a personality of losers who are not so intelligent or bright to do something else and still living in the kinder garden but today it is a multimillion dollar serious industry targeting people of every age and family.
Even though PC has always been the soul and the primary market of Gaming industry the appearance of consoles like x box, playstation, wee etc has given some advantages to the game studios and the companies which make such consoles. The piracy can be controlled on such console based games where as the same thing cant be true for PC and unlike wee where per game you have to buy separate toys to play a game and wee can make money per game, in pc only the studios who make the games make money. Building a gaming pc is a one time investment but with consoles they can reap money out of their customers even after they purchase the hardware and software. Now PC being the major gaming platform and they simply cant neglect it so they are trying cheap tricks to divert  the PC games to console gaming by making them feel that they are in a stage of disadvantage compared to the console based games where as it should be the other way around in reality.
The first example for this should be the Batman : Arkham City but the best example will be the recent EA blockbuster Mass Effect 3. Mass Effect 3 employs the same cheap trick of arkham city but to a whole new level. It is a common sense that since a PC has more keys per 10 fingers than a console could ever have per 2 thumbs (as almost all the consoles are used with just 2 thumbs) which might not be a good idea for the ergonomics and you might fracture your thumbs after 20 hours of gameplay like me; however EA has cleverly made sure that in PC you have a disadvantage where as a PC gamer whenever you are running around the corner or near a cover you always sit and cover even though that is not what you want to do. Imagine you are running away from a heavy fire and you want to jump a small wall and take cover on the other side but instead in a PC you will be forced to sit in front of the cover/wall and then get up and then jump over the other side of the wall and take cover where as in a console based game you will just be jumping over the wall and take cover; obviously you will get killed as a PC gamer and you see that a console gamer (x box or playstation) can easily do what you wanted to do without that disadvantage. This is all because for a PC gamer there is just one key [space bar] for running, sitting and take cover, jump, roll over to the left side, roll over the right side in-spite of the abundance of keys on a keyboard compared to a console. If you have a PC and a console like xbox then play for yourself and you will know.

stackexchange: Why do many Hindus eat meat and fish? Eating meat and fish directly violates the principle of Ahimsa

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. The meaning of ahimsa today unfortunately has been equated to non violence due to the lack of equivalent word in english. Just like atma is not sould, ahimsa is not non violence. It is a state of being. Meta is discouraged and not forbidden in hinduism. Today unfortunately meat has been associated with health and fitness. Let us have a look at the animals in the jungle. Elephant - biggest animal, most powerful animal, heaviest animal Rhino, hippopotamus, wild buffalo - big, powerful, heavy deer - fastest animal giraffe, camel - tallest animal tortoise - lenghty life horse - speed, vigor donkey - most hardworking Many of these vegetarian animals (elephant, rhino, hippopotamus, wild ox, wild bull) can easily defeat any tiger, lion. In fact no lion or tiger ever dare to do a one on one with any of them. You will notice

stackexchange: Are shudras and women not allowed to chant Aum i.e Pranava?

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. Chanting and reading are different. Vedic Chanting has two parts - Tone and Recitation (Patha). It further has four different tones - Udatta, Anudaatta, Svarita and Deergha Svarita. Pathas are the styles of hymnal recitation. So unless your are are well skilled in these and your pronouncination, enunciation is accurate, you are not supposed to chant. Chanting the same mantras in different way produces different effects, different vibrations. Many a times a slight difference in spacing, intonation, pronounciation, enunciation produces different meanings. So unless you are classically trained to chant these, one shall avoid it but can read them with sound without making a sound, silently. Ex: Many in north india swap va & ba. Ravindranath tagore becomes rabindranath tagore. Many in north india also swap ra & da

stackexchange: What does the demon kali staying in gold mean?

 since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. I think you are taking it in the wrong direction. Many of hindu texts have sub layered meanings.So the parikshit permits him to stay only in places where there is prostituion gold (riches, display of riches) Alcohol (intoxicants which will affect your moral judgement) Gambling As you might have already figured out from the story, kali is non physical in nature and omnipresent. He can not only be present in many places at once but also many kalpas at once. So for easier understanding, think of him as the biggest influencer of immorality. Wherever these 4 things are there, there is a high chance that, the place and the people in it are immoral, unethical. Here are the same 4 things in islam and how it is restricted. Prostitution is prohibited in Islam. It is considered a form of zina, or adultery, which is a major sin
