  They are upper class Californians. It would be surprising if it wasn’t left.

  It’s like being surprised rednecks from Mississippi aren’t right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox as a platform is officially dead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I, for a long time, wanted Microsoft to delete the difference between PC and Console. They are the same hardware, they can run the same software. Valve achieved this with the Steam Deck. I just wonder how Microsoft is going to manage to fuck it up.

  I’m confused by the pessimistic reactions, though.

  Microsoft has done an amazing job of destroying all good-will. And it’s why I and an increasing share of people stopped using Windows (I still have to suffer with it at work though).

  • Why is there an Xbox app in Windows? It doesn’t help play Steam games.

  • Why are there ads in the start menu?

  • Why are there two control panels? Why do I always have to hunt to find the old one because the new one doesn’t do what is needed?

  • Why are there popup ads in the notification window?

  • Why do I need an online account, or a hidden fucking terminal, just to get the OS going?

  • Why is Copilot fucking everywhere?

  • Why does the OS hoover fuckloads of data and send it to Microsoft?

  • No, but seriously, why are there ads?

  These are all questions that are relavent when you ask about why people are pessimistic about Microsoft merging PC and Xbox. All of the above questions apply, but then you get to ask, in addition:

  • How locked down will this be?

  • How many ads will there be?

  • Will multiplayer require monthly payments?

  They were pretty damn fun. Other games like C&C Generals were a blast as well.

  We have since upgraded to beer and boardgames, which still hold their charm. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox as a platform is officially dead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And that works on both Linux and Windows now. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox as a platform is officially dead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is actually one of the things that is actually just a Windows detriment. Linux, including the steam deck, can just go to sleep in the middle of the game and bring you right back to where you were when putting it to sleep.

  Funnily enough, if this new XBox is Windows based, they are going to lose this ability.

  as i tried to type smth about tech and lemmy at the end and didnt get anything useful.

  Putting lemmy on the end does suggest to the engine what you want, but you can command it to do what you want.

  It seems like it does get indexed, but it doesn’t show up very high. I’m assuming nobody is bothering with SEO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Uncharted 4 didn’t do too well on PC? Where are the PC versions of Uncharted 1-3

  Release of 4 could have pushed a bunch of sales on a 1-3 PC collection as well! Release them at the same time, put the 1-3 collection on a discount and charge full price for 4. People will gobble up both. (I would put 4 on my wish list and buy the 1-3 collection in that situation, but that is still me giving them money for a two-decade-old game.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Video Games were Brown. | Ahoy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be interested in the graphs, but with Sports and Nintendo games removed. Nobody has accused them of brown.

  Did shooters specifically get more brown? Even with this analysis I’m positive they did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to go back and read your post twice because I was getting Xbox One X and Xbox Series X confused with eachother. I even know there is a difference, but holy god are those names bad that it’s still confusing even when you know to look for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember being very annoyed, for years, that Microsoft’s flagship gaming franchise, Halo, stopped releasing for their most popular platform: Windows. For years, only Halo and Halo 2 were released for PC, and Halo 2 was almost unplayable due to Microsoft’s massive cockup with Games for Windows Live. It wasn’t until just a few years ago where Microsoft released their most popular franchise for their most popular platform.

  I’m still salty about that.

  But, it’s fine, I don’t have an xbox or a Windows computer now. And it is almost entirely due to shit decisions by Microsoft that just kept compounding for decades.

  As long as you are trying your best, don’t feel bad about using them. Just make sure you are doing your best to improve yourself and your income. Assistance programs are not meant to be permanent, they are there to help you get on your feet when you fall down.

  Never understood why people rebuy Skyrim over and over. Buy it once on Steam and call it a day. (even works as a handheld via the Steam Deck)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  alleges Valve “forces” game publishers to sign up to conditions which prevents them from selling their titles earlier or for less on rival platforms.

  Given Epic is gives away games for free. This assertion about Valve is laughable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I second bottom right as the best pictured, but the chain is still too long. Below is the correct length of chain. Maximum control and damage. Best against armored opponents that one needs to bludgeon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How/why does Microsoft teams exist?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they don’t have to. The next quarterly report is better. Copilot use is up (because it was shoved into yet another app) and costs are down (because they layed even more people off). Businesses are locked in for the near future, so sales will remain high.

  It doesn’t matter desktop Linux use is drastically increasing. That doesn’t affect this quarter. This quarter is all about cutting costs and pushing AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How/why does Microsoft teams exist?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it sucks. Windows used to be dependable and solid, the whole point of the OS was IT JUST WORKS. They had some downturns in the past (Vista, 8) but you could just skip those. XP, 7, etc. Now though? There is no skipping 11, not if you want security updates. They could have made Copilot it’s own app that you can ignore, but no, even notepad needs AI for some reason. The start menu has ads, the notification center has ads.

  Finally pushed me to switch to Mint this past year. My SO followed too. Been happier with it. Feels like I’m in control of the OS again, and it is there to do what I wish. Never going back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much RAM is in your average EV car, and is it DDR5?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Combining RAM and NAND (flash) is really annoying as they are nothing alike. I’m assuming almost all of that is NAND, with 2-4GB of it being RAM.

  Halo CE has remained my favorite, but I have always liked ODST quite a bit for changing up the formula and being an overall solid game.

  The GBA games? May I recomend EmuDeck? Works on every OS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tears of the Kingdom for $47 USD

  That’s the thing. Such being considered a ‘discount’ is why people say Nintendo doesn’t discount games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Steam Deck is the better product anyway. Got one recently and damn is it good.
