  You can’t force engagment by picking a guy whose name is Matt Booty, Microsoft.

  What does the future hold?

  Well Microsoft started shoving in copilot into more and more of their software from browser to even their notepad. And gamebar on Windows has…you guessed it…copilot.

  And then they go and hire an AI affiliated person who likely hasn’t written anything themselves relying on copilot to churn out scripts.

  The future is copilot gaming.

  It felt like Higby lost control once Gamepass started getting popular. He did great work getting the Xbox series launched but dropped the ball on the ‘both systems need to run the same.’ Concept.

  But once gamepass started raising prices and gutting itself into different tiers on both systems and they went hard into acquisitions I was done.

  She uses the same CEO speak of our team “family” will bring it back trying to insert herself into the group but when it goes to shot it’ll be the workers fault not hers as it is with any Corperate drone put in to place. I expect more downward spiral and studio closures from them. I left the ecosystem some time ago with the writing on the wall.

  She actually used the word “slop” when asked about AI.

  Huh.

    No not she. The copilot prompt told her to say that when she asked copilot make me a script that will make people think I’m not pro AI despite my background. Wouldn’t be surprised if she is a glorified newscaster reading copilot generated teleprompter.

  To literally any Xbox gamer reading this: how do you feel about having a higher Gamerscore than the (new) CEO of Xbox?

  Mine’s not worth bragging about, but I’m sure it’s over 100k. That used to mean something. Now it just means Xbox has been around for 20 years and you’ve played a lot of games on the platform. Either you platinumed 100 games, or you played a lot more (including Arcade titles which were capped at like 200-250GS, IIRC). I actually only have like five platinums. Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Oblivion, Skyrim… maybe one other? (Bethesda games are easy to platinum.) (Yes I know platinum is a PlayStation term. We all know it means to get all the achievements.)

  Achievement I’m proudest of? Rockband 2, Bladder of Steel Award. Complete the “Endless Setlist II” (all 84 songs on the disc!) without pausing or failing at any difficulty other than Easy, on any instrument. I did it on Medium Vocals (easiest way really). Regardless of instrument or difficulty, playing the ESL2 without pausing takes 6 and a half hours. It takes longer if you fail, obviously, but once you fail, you may as well stop, since you’re out of the running for the achievement.

  Until AI can game for you, I don’t think Sharma is going to get 100k GS, or do something like the Bladder of Steel Award that requires more than just casual interaction with a software title.
