I knew he was nuts, but my god, that font choice! Did he type that on a 1920s typewriter?
Also he’s a fucking scumbag.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 1 week ago:
I’d have to spend more on the ups than the ac unit. Sometimes it’s brown outs, sometimes full blackouts. As much as I hate connecting it to the web, it’s free vs at least a couple hundred for a high enough wattage ups to run more than a minute.

You joke, but I literally came across this. I HATE that I had to connect my window unit to the net, but we have a lot of brownouts in the area, and it allows me to restart the AC if I’m away, or else my pups would cook during the summer if it didn’t turn on. The AWS outage hit, and I couldn’t log in to the app that controls it to turn it on. Luckily, it’s not peak summer and it didn’t get too warm by the time I got home.

- Comment on Slightly Unfair 3 weeks ago:
I had direct connections to this incident (friend worked at the school), and this is pretty much exactly what happened. The only reason it was an issue in the first place were the zero tolerance policies in place that required action to be taken. Whether the family did it on purpose, no one really knew, but everyone involved certainly was thinking it.
- Comment on More than 60% of US game players only buy two games or fewer per year, survey finds | VGC 3 weeks ago:
I have been a massive fan of Overwatch since launch day. I haven’t spent a dime on it since the original purchase of the game. I haven’t spent anything on any Live Service game either.
- Comment on Microsoft reportedly mulls ad-infested free Xbox Cloud Gaming plan — Game Pass Ultimate subscriber allegedly catches ad during game loading 4 weeks ago:
You know, I hate ads, and I stopped my recurring Ultimate sub due to the price hike. However, I can ignore a 2 minute preroll if it means that once in a while, I can try out some random indie game.
But Jesus christ, a 5 hour monthly cap? That’s not even worth putting up with ads for. They really have lost the ability/want to keep customers.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 4 weeks ago:
I don’t have a backlog of PS games due to mainly playing Xbox for the last 20 something years. That’s why subscription services can make sense, you play through games you’ve missed out on. Kind of like sub hopping for tv streaming, you build up a back log, sub for a few months then move to the next.

Yeah I was shocked at the overlap of titles between the 2. If I had noticed that the last price hike, I might have switched sooner.
- Comment on Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up] 4 weeks ago:
Even if that was the intention, I used the platform while it worked for me, and I saw value. The minute I didn’t see the value, I left the platform. No tech company (and most companies) has had my loyalty for years. The minute they do something I don’t agree with, I’m out.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 4 weeks ago:
I know it’s not better, but it has a bunch of the catalog from Game Pass as well as a bunch of PS titles I’ve missed while being on Xbox.

Jesus, did all you people pissing on fans of Game Pass stand outside of Blockbbuster back in the day?
I paid for a service KNOWING I was renting. KNOWING the service would eventually enshitify. KNOWING it was unsustainable at past prices. I rode the wave as long as it made sense, the ride is now over. It’s just like the Movie Pass deal a few years ago, milk it for all its worth while you can.

Oh I’m sorry, did Playstation start charging 30 bucks for their service? Oh, it’s actually CHEAPER than Xbox even was? Oh and it’s a massive back catalog of PS games I haven’t played due to being on Xbox? Fuck me right?

Turned off my recurring billing. I’ll have about 3 months then it’s bye bye. I have been a customer since 360, but now will probably sign up for Playstation Network for the first time.

Are you fucking kidding? I thought I’d use up my saved points to grab a month or 2 next year. They REALLY know how to screw the fan base.

Woops… Now THAT would be a reason for me to keep Game Pass
- Comment on Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up] 4 weeks ago:
FYI - as of this posting sites like cdkeys (now loaded) have some og pricing but it’s quickly rising. Buy em if you want to get through games like Outer Wilds 2 before dropping service.

I used to be a huge advocate for Game Pass. I’ve played so many games I never would have without, and have saved so much from buying games and not liking them.
30 a month is insane. It now outpaces my buying rate and I can’t justify it. The lower tiers just don’t do it for me. They finally killed an Xbox Live customer since the 360.

I did a similar early run. Everything clicked and then took me FOREVER to get past the 2nd one again.
- Comment on Costco Confirms It's Removed Xbox Consoles, Calling It A "Business Decision" 5 weeks ago:
Your completely right. They are already headed down this path and, in all honesty, have been for years. The Xbox handheld that was rumored has been axed and they basically chose to work with Asus on the Xbox Ally. The future Xbox console is rumored to be essentially a pc with xbox software. My money is the Xbox Ally is a testbed for the software for next gen Xbox (if a true standalone console is to be made).
Even 5 years ago, when working for them, the goal is to get Microsoft service on multiple platforms. The services (365, Azure, etc.)across Microsoft are what makes the company money, not products. They make more money selling Windows license to 3rd parties than the Surface product line. Their goal is to get you using their Xbox platform on whatever device you want to. As long as you’re a subscriber, they honestly don’t give 2 shits on what device you use.

I can’t believe the devs sat there, built that abomination, and said, yeah $45 and $15 a month sounds about right…

I unfortunately am not on prescription meds for it. I have tried a handful of some from friends with not much impact. I really need to get back to the doctor and to find something that works.
