Okay, we need to right this ship. Everyone who works on the south end of the office: get to work on optimisation. The rest of you, you're fired.

God this guy broke ToS while connected to the internet? Can't MigSwitchs run offline? I thought it was just a cart dump.

Giving Outer Wilds another go from a new save. I played 5 years ago but got stuck and gave up.

That all sounds true to me. I've been with Sony for PS1, 2, 4 and 5 but had an Xbox OG/360. I've got to say I'm surprised that M$ hasn't with all their trillions been able to create a platform yet that makes them dominate in either the PC or console space. That said, I mustn't be the only one who thinks that the PS5 generation has been such a bad sign for the future of Sony. In 5 years I've played 3 good exclusive games on the system, the console has frankly been a waste of money.

And they've had 12 live service games in development. 12 great single player or couch coop exclusives would have been fucking great, but instead they're chasing the live service dragon.

That could be compelling. I think they would want to design the OS in a way that strongly incentivises you to buy games through the Microsoft store, like SteamOS with the steam store. If they make it too flexible, they've just sold hardware at a loss to be someone's steam machine as well as making the OS potentially too complicated for a normal person to figure out.

If they can make a windows machine that can play all of the old Xbox games, run other storefronts, and do quick resume/hibernate properly, I'm interested. I was kind of waiting out for SteamOS on desktop to get a console like experience on a PC.

If you still have those messages and they prove that he knew you were a minor and pursued you anyway, you have an opportunity to take a civil lawsuit against him. Considering the age difference the value of that case to you may be significant.

Yeah, maybe. The OS will be built around Game Pass like how SteamOS heavily incentivises you to use Steam. I think they'll have a unified game launcher like Armory Crate on the ROG Ally devices.

That way, it's a PC that you can use steam on, but the choice architecture and UX will be pushing you to the MS store.

Broadly speaking, what are Xbox looking to do here?

They optimise Windows for gaming and open up the console for other storefronts, then is it just a Steam device? They won't make money from Steam sales.

Is this a cloud streaming device? Can you cloud stream games from other storefronts? It's all incredibly vague to me.

As a console I agree completely, Xbox is pretty much done unless they succeed with Handheld and "opening up the ecosystem" (however it is they are supposed to make money off of that).

As a PC/PS5/Switch gamer, I've given more money to Xbox than I've given to Sony or Nintendo the last 2 years. Steam key resellers have gotten most of my money but Game pass for PC has been compelling recently.

I'm not sure how profitable it is, but the service is currently good.

The lost crown was extremely refreshing.

Loll, people will never stop getting these confused

ah, sure

Which plays into texture. The skin doesn't fluff up nearly as much as the flesh, which means the chips don't feel as satisfying to bite into. That makes a big difference for some people.

Move fast and break things is not good when government is involved.

Gotta start somewhere!

I don't know if offgassing is the reason the water tastes better when cooled overnight. I would do this with an enclosed bottle (no off-gassing possible) and it would taste equally better.

Definitely cooling it is an improvement, I always thought it tasted different due to how our mouth/taste buds responds to the dropping temperature.

Doomguy or Gordon, for sure

Indeed. I think the last 6 months have been great value for PC game pass. Of course it goes against the OP/thread sentiment that Xbox is ripping everyone off.

I buy on steam/key resellers at heavy discount most of the time, but game pass allows me to play new release games that are in the "looks interesting, but I'm not dropping full price to try this out" category of games.

I've never seen the option to vote, maybe it's easier on desktop. I'm on revanced
