- Comment on Xbox and Asus introduce the new ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X gaming handhelds 1 week ago:
I understand their strategy, I just don’t like it as a console player. I also don’t think it is a very good one from business perspective. For me it seems like they failed in the console (hardware) market, so they pivoted to the cross-platform software focus.
I know like/dislike is subjective, so I understand if others have different opinion. And business-wise, these strategic decisions will show their true impact over many years, so there would be no point in comparing current numbers, let’s see if what they plan plays off in the future.
I have a PS5 and a Series S, so I’m not partial to either of them, just to consoles as a hardware platform. I don’t like this Windows-ification of Xbox, as I moved from PC gaming to consoles around 2 decades ago, and I like my choice. I also switched to iPhone from Android, and happy to have lost all the headaches that came from the more open platform.
Again, these are personal preferences. Maybe I’m the “old man” screaming angrily at the clouds, or maybe the Microsoft MBAs are wrong. Manufacturers are going back on large touchscreens in cars, which was also celebrated as the future years ago, yet it’s just cost saving that sacrifices the safety of the driver.

Very disappointing, with arguably misleading marketing and videos.
I was so hyped watching the reveal, then only realized from comments that this only plays Windows compatible Xbox games. I was hoping for a true Xbox handheld, where I can play all Xbox games natively.
If somebody is already deep into handhelds, this might be obvious to them, but I think many buyers will be disappointed.
I saw a 10 min video of MS and ASUS team explaining, and they intentionally dance around the issue diluting the original meaning of words like “Xbox”, which is a video game console. Not a PC, not a launcher in Windows, and not a meaningless branding for MS published games.
There is a reason Nintendo and Sony is killing it in their focus segments: they make a console and sell video games you can play on it. Sony might release PS games on PC for extra revenue, while MS is trying to do that as a main focus, because they didn’t sell enough consoles. MS really shit the bed with Xbox this gen (again). Gamepass is not going to save them, they were first to the market, Sony is also selling subscription, but in addition (and not instead) of console sales.

Yes, this is what I was told in a survival course (as a company team building). You have filter out large particles, even a few layers of cloths is enough. Then you boil it to get rid of bacteria or other problematic stuff.

I never smoked, but had to hang out with smokers outside at my first job, if I wanted a bit of break and chat with colleagues. I usually brought a glass of water with me.
Happy that this is not the case anymore.

Not really, it’s the distance, mirror doubles it. Selfies of most people look horrible, even if flipped, due to the camera’s distortion from the short distance.
Any time I had professional photos taken for work, the photographer stood at least 3 meters (10 feet) away, maybe even more.

Some people bother so much with the lofe of others, instead of finding enjoyment in their own lives.
Why do you care how long someone took to finish college? How does it impact you if someone still lives wit his parents?
- Comment on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Such an amazing game. I’m not into RPGs but somehow got convinced to play this.
I don’t understand how I even had the energy to play 100+ hrs next to work. I often played until 2 am on weekdays, or woke up earlier to play.
I understand the complaints of the gameplay or controls, but the story and the characters are what makes this game special. It’s a journey I will never forget, some memories and feelings from it will stay with me forever

Just make sure to always stop before either of you orgasms, so you can retain your peak performance for the workout after.
