That’s honestly the gist of the kind of articles Grayson writes here. The subject has unfailingly always been about attractive female streamers, and he’s putting the spotlight on them. It comes across as him doing it to get the attention or get into the good graces of these streamers, and combined with creepy stories…

God, I hate when people like this get more attention than they deserve.

that’s nice and all...but how is THIS going by unnoticed!

I always like clicky myself, and in fact loved how much they reduced the effort of the pressing the shoulders between the original XBox One and bluetooth Xbox One controllers. I feel like I’m going to hate the circular Dpad, never worked right for me on the 360 controllers.

That’s surprising to hear.  I think the XBox One d-pad is the best of the 3 this generation by far.  The Switch Pro d-pad is downright terrible.

the ‘cycling through’ is the problem. Gears and Crackdown and Halo will never leave Game Pass. But PS Now will snatch away their exclusives like GoW, Horizon, or Persona 5. Its a bad plan from Sony 

Rarely do you have the CEO respond to these stories. I kind of respect that Tan did.

FWIW - I lived next to him in HK during the IPO process (i.e., only two apartments per floor with common washing machine). He was always super nice, offered to grab beers, and never made a fuss when I had way too many people in my tiny serviced apartment late night. I even accidentally opened his mail when it was…

meh grow up, people are jerks. I had a boss who berated us and said we wouldnt get updates in the office unless we cleaned up after ourselves in the bathroom (they werent remarkably bad/good bathrooms). We eyerolled and went about our day, just fine.

We all applaud your heroic boycotts

Sony has a Game Pass competitor - PS Now. It started as a way to stream PS3 games to PS4 and PC (as an overpriced half-assed consolation prize for those who wanted backwards compatibility) but now also has PS4 games, which work like Game Pass. But it's more expensive despite having a much worse selection, with games…

Yeah but its also still not a worldwide service. And the fact that they are stingy with their first party titles is the real bummer. I’m having a great time on Game Pass for pc. I’m actually really tempted to pick up a X1S or X1Sade to play a bunch of titles that are only available on the console Game Pass list.

I believe their time limits on those are impractically low, though. Weren’t they only going to be available on the service for 3 months? For someone with a busy life, 3 months is likely not enough to beat even one of those games (except maybe GoW), let alone all 3. They’re also pretty old at this point, especially GTA…

Just started it last night! Supposedly I’m in public sessions but nobody has joined in as of yet. Then again, I’m almost nowhere in the game so far, having just beat the tutorial and started my first foray into the world.

Do yourself a favor and dump more time into Remnant. Especially if you have someone to play with. The game is so good but so under the radar for most people. I just beat it the first time this last weekend and me and by friend immediately started the story over again to continue the fun and feelgood grind.

The Gold to Game Pass Ultimate conversion is a killer deal. Locked in 3 years for $180 which is a steal. I always buy all the systems but Xbox will be my first next gen purchase now that I’m locked in. Played a ton of games I normally would never buy. Expanded what I thought I enjoyed.

That’s the big question. Sony is already slowly making PlayStation Now better. You can now download games in addition to streaming them, and it’s been cycling through some big hitters like Persona 5, God of War, and GTA V. 

Even if I don’t get the big awesome titles like Sony’s exclusives, games pass still has more games than I can reasonably play. I recently discovered Dead Cells and loved it, and tried out Remnant from the Ashes. This was after binging Gears 5 and enjoying the new Horde Mode.

Fuck this passive-aggressive BS. 

Pollution is a relative concept. It’s good for somethings (i.e. plants) and bad for a lot of other things. When you have more CO2 production than the plants can consume, technically speaking, CO2 becomes both food (what the plants can consume) and pollution (the excess that plants cannot sequester). You are right…
