mine should be arriving this week. i’d very much suggest to anyone on the fence to go ahead and order asap because with CNY and restock issues it’s going to take a while to get to you. i bought mine weeks ago.

FWIW mine just arrived. It’s a really nice bit of hardware. Feels like a real upgrade from one of those $9 clip on ring lights.  Not essential by any means but if you work from home a majority of the time it’s worth the upgrade.

I hit 100 a few days ago - it’s freeing me to play the gametypes I like, which has been really fun.

agree 100%, attrition is the best game type i’ve played.  its SO GOOD.  i like that it goes faster than slayer, too

lmao the bootleg game for a crime procedural is perfect haha

Hey cool, this sounds great.  I’ve been using a dual ring light thing and it’s a janky mess.  Was just eyeballing Anker’s new integrated webcam / light but maybe this is a better bet since I’m already in logitech’s ecosystem...

same, which is super frustrating - i use xp boosts early in the weekly challenges, because they’re easy to power through in an hour.  i got a btb focused one and lost 10min of my hour trying to matchmake like an idiot

legitimately those dbrand plates are super cool, they have lights (if youre in to that) and change the profile of the hardware for the better IMO.

I haven’t played a halo campaign since 2, and honestly I don’t remember it.

I know this will make the online activist folks upset but this whole antiwork thing feels like a hostile (foreign?) entity was, at the very least, responsible for the genesis. It’s like trumpism - they tapped into a latent ‘need’ and now the movement is becoming self sustaining. The organization and the content and…

This would be legitimately cool for your kids on a road trip.  Wouldn’t 11" be pretty solid to rig up in a minivan or something?  

“In its statement, Rockstar asked its fans to stop harassing the devs behind these new remasters.”

You mean for random online matchmaking? I am pretty sure the only options right now are the quick match options: it’s either small party (teams of 4) or big team battle. And each has a playlist, so you get oddball one match, slayer another.

yeah - you have to go to play.xbox.com and add the web app

It looks like there’s a zombie blackberry line of phones with solid keyboards... is it possible to strip back android enough that it literally does nothing but email? Presumably it would be full featured enough to run office suite, load PDFs etc and that’s it.

I live ~40 miles from a microsoft server bonanza and have a 200/200mpbs fiber connection.. I’m about the best possible candidate for game pass streaming.

Would love one of these things but I’m too deeply linked to the kindle ecosystem.  Wish it ran android so I could just load up the kindle ecosystem...

This, to me, underscores what a bummer it is that apple discontinued the full sized homepod setup. That thing is huge and crazy expensive for most smaller spaces - city dwellers etc.

Does the gameplay lend itself to a touchscreen / mobile format?  I saw this the other day and thought it would be a neat iOS game for a flight oneday.

vote!
