Just the console works is the brag here? Retro consoles are incredibly popular. Xbox might just suck
- Comment on Microsoft refund problem 3 days ago:
Find the regulator for online shopping, make your case send evidence and they can escalate directly with Microsoft.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed again to March 20 6 days ago:
It could have gone anywhere, the rumour was modern day third to close out the story.
It could have gone to settlements in space, templar industry types creating advanced cities to escape a doomed earth allowing for a cryogenically frozen Desmond to believeably do some of the stunt in space conditions.
Instead they picked random times and shoehorned in a rethread story barely expanding on the lore by walking all over it.
- Comment on Day 173 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 6 days ago:
The AC towers were fun and made sense, I never had a problem with it…its the repititions and lack of innovation that is boring.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed again to March 20 6 days ago:
Would have loved to see the original vision through
- Comment on Star Wars: Outlaws Reportedly Sold Less in 2024 than Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Did – WGB 6 days ago:
Is Jedi not considered open world? I get that it has closed off parts and progress gatekeeping but you ae free to ram entirely and travel between planets. Most planets are not linear levels and have other stuff to do.
- Comment on ‘Palworld: Feybreak’ Draws 200,000 Concurrent Players, Now In Steam’s Top 10 2 weeks ago:
Heey, I have been doing the same. Sick of all of the manufacurers to be fair. I mostly buy the games seocnd hand too because publishers suck, last ones I supported were IOI and if they push always on internet connection in the 007 game I will pirate it.
- Comment on Putin's 'sovereign' gaming console projects detailed, found lacking 3 weeks ago:
Doesn’t even make it worth mentioning when listing the crimes of current day Russia.
- Comment on Fully playable Star Wars: Battlefront 3 Wii build leaks online 4 weeks ago:
A scientist in Goldeneye was called Doak. The scientists were named after the creative team, I wonder if it ks the same guy.
Now I dont know where I got te factoid though
- Comment on Rumors Of End to Xbox-Only Exclusives Swirl As More Game Studios Embrace Simultaneous Launch Strategy 5 weeks ago:
Its a shit feeling tbh, I feel the whole industry is sliding in the wrong direction.
I turned on Hitman the other day and midway through a playthrough I got booted for loss of connection. It is a single player game. Finding it harder and harder to have a positive enough view to purchase games.
- Comment on Rumors Of End to Xbox-Only Exclusives Swirl As More Game Studios Embrace Simultaneous Launch Strategy 5 weeks ago:
Oh man same for ps5, major let down. I let my psn lapse and I am just playing mostly games that were available on ps4, except now I have a shittier looking homescreen.
Still kills that I have a 1gb/s internet and a great TV but the playstation store shows ads in 120p.
- Comment on I don't have a purpose in life and feel like a robot. This cannot be good for my mental health, but I don't know how or what to change. How do I change? 5 weeks ago:
Upsticks and leave. Whereever you are you can probaly go and do wha you do somewhere else. I would pick a whole other country, you could pick ones that align with your interests like philosophy and cooking - places where there is history or active communities in those spaces.
As for making friends, join clubs. Start running, playing board games, cold water swimmimg, etc.
If you are looking for purpose and you don’t mecessarily care about money you could make a huge impact in charitable works. If you don’t like human contact you could volunteer with animals.
You are at a crossroads in that you feel jilted and stuck but in reality you have nothing keeping you in one place. If you save 70% of your earnings for multiple years you are in a position to just stop working while you figure it out. You are in a position to take a pay cut and find something you enjoy.
I know a few people who were in similar spots and one became a data analyst for a charity - less hours and he can see changes being made by his hand - and the other travels to meet the elderly to record and archive their memories for posterity.
You could do absolutely anything.

Hated him since.
- Comment on Drake escalates Kendrick beef and accuses record label of firing allies while boosting his rival 1 month ago:
I wrote to spotify because I was a premium customer and my whole launch page was full with that cunt when scorpion released. I have never intentionally played his songs or visited his page on spotify.
Drake has absolutely done this to a headwrecking extent.
- Comment on Jon Watts Explains Demise Of George Clooney & Brad Pitt ‘Wolfs’ Sequel After Streaming Pivot: “Apple Didn’t Cancel…I Did, Because I No Longer Trusted Them As A Creative Partner” 1 month ago:
He probbaly did, he signed on with them under the impression a theatrical release was part of it and theybdidnt deliver.
Take a second to zoom out and see that you are defending a corporation, the richest in the world, for how they treated a creative in a creative space.
Id be upset if I was him too.
- Comment on I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories? 1 month ago:
Any necessary subs should be hard coded.
- Comment on Denzel Washington: Ridley Scott Is Long 'Overdue' for an Oscar 1 month ago:
Unnecessary comment given we benefitted greatly from both as consumers
- Comment on I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas? 1 month ago:
A lot of young men are sucked into this world, what you have described is exactly what I took OP to be looking for.
They might get them a membership to a gym or tools for a hobby that allows them to socialise outside of online.
Op mever called their son a fascist or mentioned they want them to believe the same thing. Fascism is harmful, thats why even the fascists call the others fascists, it is not a bad idea to want to realign someone’s viewpoint with reality.
- Comment on Will Firefox die for good if Google is forced to sell off Chrome? 1 month ago:
Which is justified in all fairness, firefox is too dependent on monopoly for support to be competitive going forward
- Comment on Netanyahu’s Arrest Sought by International Criminal Court 1 month ago:
Good. He is a fascist committing a genocide to keep himself in power.
- Comment on Nine in ten honey samples from UK retailers fail authenticity test 2 months ago:
They are making it anyway and supporting bees is good for the world.
- Comment on Todd Phillips: Movie Theaters Should Ban Commercials Before Films 2 months ago:
I enjoy movie trailers, its all the other trailers I hate. Agree to removing them.
- Comment on Daniel Craig Wants Netflix to Put ‘Knives Out 3’ in Theaters for More Than Just One Week: ‘Hopefully, They Will Push It Out a Bit’ 2 months ago:
Release them at the same time, leave it in as long as it is making moeny.
These movies are ideal for streaming, it isnt massive spectacle. Streaming epics suck I miss thrillers,comedies and dramas and that is what we need on streaming.
- Comment on "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK." 2 months ago:
“The American Experiment” amazing how full of shit this thinking is, basically american exceptionalism
- Comment on "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK." 2 months ago:
Very valid point, just goes to show the hyperbolic shit flinging that is the core of American politics.
- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 2 months ago:
Exactly whatbwas the compromise? The entire genocide/atrocity has occured om herself and Biden’s watch. She then failed to disance herself from the policy and did not take a position that aligned with people concerned about supporting a genocide.
Is Trump worse on this topic? Almost certainly.
Entitled people are the ones that felt they could speak over the valid concerns of the public because “I am the lesser of two evils so you have to vote for me.” Turned out well, the US continues its fownward trajectory and to be an embarrassment all because of…supporting a genocide. It wasnt even a difficult one, a remedial foreign policy issue fucked Kamala and she can have her shame for it.
The entitled people are those who insist the conscientious objectors should have put their concerns aside.
- Comment on "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK." 2 months ago:
They are shit but they cant be alarmist reactionaries either. They need change but trying to encourage stability and console people isnt the worst
- Comment on Last-minute PS5 Pro leaks indicate system will pack 16.7 TFLOPS GPU with 16GB dedicated GDDR6 VRAM — plus 2GB DDR5 system RAM 2 months ago:
The drive is an add on, base ps5 has a uhd already… i think.
Both versiins have their own drives.
- Comment on Last-minute PS5 Pro leaks indicate system will pack 16.7 TFLOPS GPU with 16GB dedicated GDDR6 VRAM — plus 2GB DDR5 system RAM 2 months ago:
I just got it, cant say it is even 70 bucks worth of fun. Spend more time as Miles and Peter on a bike or watching cut scenes than I do as spidey.
- Comment on Ubisoft boss says it knows players think it has an 'inconsistency in quality,' so it delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows to flip that script 2 months ago:
The most upsetting thing is that they threw out anything resembling a decent narrative to draw out the series with diminishing returns. We never got closure on the templars and modern storylines are ignored now. We could have had closure and then just had everything in animus after.
