The fact that 277,000 dead Americans later we are still struggling to convince people that COVID is “real” depresses the shit out of me.

So they are only going to pay me $8 to dispose of their Cats Blu-ray? Hard pass.

When I think “sexy” the very first thing that comes to mind is...[checks notes]...a Warhammer 40K lore YouTuber.

I’m not sure exactly how Microsoft would be held liable for the Microsoft Xbox being able to run Microsoft Windows applications.

I’ve played through BOTW twice and I honestly don’t remember any of this shit.

I dealt with several RRODs on Xbox 360 but every time it was quickly replaced with no hassle. It was annoying but Microsoft owned the problems, at their great expense (even beyond the warranty period). If they were sending me refurbs, I couldn’t tell because they looked brand new.

Humans get special dialogue from NPCs in Tower, too. Stuff like, “humanity needs to look out for each other.”

If you don’t like Mario and own a Switch, you’re gonna have a bad time.

I’ve got to say Wii. It had so much garbage shovelware. I vividly remember walking through GameStop for a half hour looking for something, ANYTHING to play...hundreds of choices and maybe ten games worth playing (mostly first-party).

The Xbox One controller went through something like $100 million in development to incorporate ergonomic improvements and specific rumble in different locations (for example, the triggers). No one really cared, no one really noticed.

• Xbox Live was better for online multiplayer and downloads.

My thoughts exactly. Controllers aren’t exactly known for lasting the life of a console...I’m skeptical that adding more high-cycle moving parts is going to help that situation.

The Series S and X are architecturally similar. It does not require separate development paths to support both, more than anything it’s adjusting performance sliders.

Cool article for the 12 people who got one.

Me: “Every Super Nintendo Instruction Manual isn’t already on the internet?”

Anything with a power cap of 1060 is garbage in Beyond Light (unless you have some sentimental value for them). I thought Bungie made that pretty clear.

There is a lore supplement book shipping with the Collector’s Edition of Beyond Light, it goes into exactly what Deep Stone Crypt is and how the Vex represented the “breakthrough” in cracking consciousness uploads to Exo frames. Very interesting stuff.

This. I want a PS5 but I have no interest in this monstrosity. Xbox brings me more value at launch.

We need to address the elephant in the room.
