Bad luck they've bought their way into being so successful at gaming?

They just pulled back from gaming hardware, because it's unprofitable, and went all in on software, where the profit is.
They're releasing previously Xbox exclusive games to PS5.

It looks like their future console strategy is to produce gaming PC's in the shape of a console that run any Windows game available through a 'store' like Steam or Epic Games, or Microsoft Store

According to a Rediitor https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2Fpcmas...
Using DXVK to translate DirectX to Vulkan multi-threads the CPU side of the graphics calls, lowering overhead for old games when you have cores to spare.
For newer games that are already multi-threaded in this area, it doesn't provide any benefit.

Take a small Lithium battery, like what you might find in a watch, and throw it into a bowl of water. It explodes and bursts into flames.

Lithium metal reacts with water.
Lithium salts, as used in lithium batteries, does not.
The only reaction a lithium battery will have when immersed in water, is electrical, like any other battery type.

The inherent danger of a lithium battery is thermal runaway. The reaction that causes the fire is self sustaining and doesn't require an external source of oxygen.
In fact, the best way to put out an EV battery fire is to use water to keep it as cool as possible until it burns itself out.

When did anyone justify anything in this thread?
You seem to be reading things that aren't being written.

You're also claiming that hijacking a plane and flying it into an office building is the same as firing missiles at military targets and nuclear weapons research facilities.

Have you heard of the term "strawman argument"?
