- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 5 days ago:
It’s been a sad thing to watch. I was the biggest Xbox fan in my circles in the 360 & One days. But by the time Series X came out, I was so disappointed in their games that I still don’t own it. Microsoft bought so many companies that I thought would bring games. Yet, most of them aren’t producing anything.
- Comment on Epstein arrests: 0. Nancy Guthrie: still missing. The head of the FBI: 1 week ago:
It’s super easy just start a podcast or TV show. Then you’ll be qualified for any position.
- Comment on Sony plans to minimize effect of rising PlayStation 5 memory costs by boosting software and network service revenue, according to CFO 1 week ago:
You should read “Increase PS Plus prices”
- Comment on One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off Over the Last Two Years 4 weeks ago:
I’m interested to how they make their survey. Is it people who go to GDC, People with accounts with GDC, or an survey of workers?
- Comment on Finally, the FPS I keep asking for: Deep combat, classic modes, and an honest-to-god server browser 4 weeks ago:
You’re doing the “lords” work.
- Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐 2 months ago:
I imagine most golden retrievers I’ve just are a little autistic. It’s why they are so dopey.
- Comment on SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded [the reworked Splitgate 2 relaunch] 2 months ago:
Well, I played it during beta and had issues with challenges. A week after launch, I tried it again and had issues with challenges.
I don’t think they fixed them.
- Comment on Revolutionary! 2 months ago:
This is my philosophy and reading of the Bible. I’ll open my house to everyone for board game nights, try to include new people for dinners, and get as many people for outings.
Sometimes the mix of personalities is awkward. Sometimes it’s all the same kind of people. Sometimes I get good discussions between people with different opinions. Sometimes a person is going through a rough time and I can pull in other friends to help.
But you’ll have a lot more personally with a bigger table then a large den.

You mean like a double decker couch?

Over, under
$500 USD?
- Comment on The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS 3 months ago:
What is odd to me is that these same people would make fun of any other “fan swag”. If this was all Naruto or Star Wars merch, they would be making twitter posts about it.
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Hmm, I wish organizations had public postmortems on failed projects. I’d like to know the story there.
- Comment on More Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Details Emerge, Including Who Is Making It 4 months ago:
This is my first hearing of this. With the latest Xbox news, I doubt I will consider the pruchase.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced 4 months ago:
These Full Screen ads are the reason I do not own a Xbox Series X and I’m not upgrading to Windows 11.
I’m turning on my console to do use it for streaming or gaming. Anything that gets in the way of going to be vilified.

(laughs in Steam Deck)
- Comment on Early access periods should ideally be around six months, research suggests - AUTOMATON WEST 5 months ago:
Yeah, that checks out. There’s a number of early access release games that release to little fanfare or changes. If you’re going early access, use it as a prolonged testing period. Then release the full game.
GameDiscoverCo’s Simon Carless analyzed over 1,500 games released between 2015 and 2023, […] His results showed that the longer a game stayed in early access, the weaker its full-release sales tended to be.
Probably because most gamers at this point see EA release as just a release. It kinda begs the question of when it’s useful.
- Comment on I asked 20 game developers about Stop Killing Games. [Alanah Pearce] 5 months ago:
I appreciate this conversation coming from the developers point of view. Especially, the concerns about the legality conversation. The definitions will be scrutinized by everyone involved.
- Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises 6 months ago:
Executives are getting kickbacks? I’ve gotta do some research here.
- Comment on EA CEO Says No $80 Games for Now: 'We're Not Looking to Make Any Changes at This Stage' 6 months ago:
I don’t think one ever came out. Microsoft closed their studio to make them.
- Comment on Xbox returns to gamescom next month with over 20 playable demos, including Hollow Knight: Silksong 7 months ago:
How many of the 20 demos won’t be released? I’m sitting at a solid 5, maybe 7.
- Comment on PSA on privuhcy 7 months ago:
IMO, any developer who uses URL parameters for required functionality is short sighted. They should use the path as required parameters.
- Comment on Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming 7 months ago:
If the reviews are good, I’ll spend the $20 on game pass for a month.
But only if the reviews are very good.
Or some other game caught my attention.
Or I’m replaying Outer Worlds 1
Or I’m still playing Monster Hunter.
Or… I think I’ll just pass on it.
- Comment on Reddit bought a giant ad in Paris, urging young french people to create an account 7 months ago:
This is the only advertising that listen too. I wish online reviews were 10% as useful.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 7 months ago:
This feels like an executive saying “I want to have an Xbox handheld”. Then saying to make it profitable without market research.
I feel like the Xbox brand is not long for this world.

A source for further reading.

“Bungie is making a new game based on Marathon”
Great, I’m in.

Nope, I’m out. This smells like a “Prey” situation.
- Comment on Just months after reportedly cancelling two live service games in development, Sony announces a new PlayStation studio with a live service game in development 9 months ago:
That’s what we call gambling.
Most companies call it R&D.
- Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC 10 months ago:
I get the feeling the Switch 2 is gonna be the Wii U with stories like this.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 10 months ago:
“Influence” numbers of Andrew Tate & Musk says otherwise. I’m also assuming a large following of those two are unhappy single men.
- Comment on Palworld Update 0.5.0 Adds Crossplay Across All Platforms, Blueprint Upgrading, Photo Mode and More 11 months ago:
I hope this lives to see 1.0. That assuming it doesn’t get killed by legal fees.
