Silent Hill F Has One of Horror's Most Gnarly And Profound Transformations

Silent Hill F Has One of Horror's Most Gnarly And Profound Transformations https://ift.tt/TrkGXL0 What do you think of when you think of a woman in pain? There are no tidy universalisms here, but for many of us, even most of us, pain is private and domestic. You could think of a mother shouldering burdens alone while her husband is at work. The father in the waiting room while the mother screams with strangers. A woman going to the doctor about an ache, only for him to tell her to lose weight and deny the problem is even happening.

A day later, the FTC moved to appeal that ruling and find its injunction in appellate court, but that too has now been denied. It's very likely Microsoft will now close on the deal, perhaps as soon as Monday, July 17.

Xbox's parent company still needs to work things out with the UK's regulatory body, the CMA, as the regulators had concerns over Microsoft's potential for future cloud monopolization specifically. In an internal memo from Xbox lead Phil Spencer earlier this week, Spencer mentioned that his team is already seeking ways to modify the deal "to address the CMA’s concerns in a way that is acceptable to the CMA," so it's likely the two parties have been in close contact all week in the event the FTC's appeal was swiftly denied.
