- Comment on Microsoft’s New Xbox Strategy Starts with Windows and Ends with No Console 4 days ago:
They may very well be on to something (anyone who thought about this for a bit after the first announcement, could figure out this strategy, but it doesn’t include an important factor). Xbox is predominantly a console that lives in the living room. The most expensive Xbox series x currently available is $729.99. The handheld they modeled this off is currently $899.99. The price increase when this handheld and it’s predecessor consoles have been popular in majority US markets during a financially unstable time where there exist things like the switch 2 and the Lenovo Legion series of handhelds, not to mention ROG’s other handhelds may make this untenable to consumers. It’s a great idea for them the drop a handheld with an Xbox interface. It’s not a good time.

- Comment on Installing SteamOS on Lenovo Legion Go S 5 days ago:
Yeah. I don’t know why the downvotes. But I was waiting to see how they Z2 go chips would compare so I watched a bunch of reviews and every review mentions the difference in RAM among other things including color way.

Supposedly it’s got a newer chip (Z2).

The windows variant of the legion go s has twice the RAM so it’s not that weird.

- Comment on Microsoft Shifts Xbox Gaming Handheld Ambitions to Third-Party Windows Handhelds, Postpones 2027 Launch Plans 2 weeks ago:
The Xbox system is a windows based system optimised to run on the consoles hardware. It has been since launch. Modifying it for handhelds with the ability to navigate to a desktop environment. The addition of a desktop environment isn’t so difficult that it should take three years to accomplish. They launched windows 11 4 years ago and it didn’t take but a few months for them to start shoehorning AI into every crevice of it.
Asus has a product already in production that could be used for the purposes of test bench testing and development. The original ROG Ally is even around the same price point as a steam deck.
So all in all the only two excuses MS has are that they are bad at understanding trends and getting in on the ground floor, and they are bad at optimising windows specifically because that goes against their business plan to gather user data and weaponize that data against their competitors.
All.in all we don’t have an Xbox handheld at this point because they’re greedy and fail to act on trend analysis.
- Comment on Microsoft Shifts Xbox Gaming Handheld Ambitions to Third-Party Windows Handhelds, Postpones 2027 Launch Plans 2 weeks ago:
Will I agree that the actual code base needs to be designed and augmented (backend to make this work), that’s not really what I’m saying. I’m pointing out that they already have the visual design and working template for a handheld based OS ( navigation and so on). Just that couple with something like what they had with Windows 10 (the tablet interface for 10 was better than 11) would be fine. It could literally be an Xbox version of steam’ big picture mode (because you can launch directly into it from Windows on 10). There even already exists a slimmed down version of Windows 11 to save on resource hogging.
The steam deck has been out long enough for them to have implemented this kind of thing. They’ve had time to design it. They’ve just been using that time to deliberately figure out how to shoehorn AI and telemetry and the rest into it because at the end of the day they still want to siphon up all that data.
- Comment on Microsoft Shifts Xbox Gaming Handheld Ambitions to Third-Party Windows Handhelds, Postpones 2027 Launch Plans 2 weeks ago:
They already have the Xbox framework. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to just use that for gaming and give the handle the ability to launch a lightweight version of Windows similar to the easy Steam OS will let you exit to Linux desktop.

This is what I didn’t understand. Thank you for explaining.

Was this before or after this: lemmy.world/post/29593011
Because I’m curious why Valve would have gone to so much trouble to make the game run on Linux just to ruin that.
- Comment on Ori Studio Head Says Review Bombing Might Force Studio Closure, Then Takes It All Back 5 weeks ago:
Takes it all back because A. There was no review bombing, people who left mixed reviews had reasonable a valid complaints, and B. He reverses course as soon as people started pointing out how he was protesting quite a lot about exactly nobody calling him a Nazi.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 5 weeks ago:
Either you haven’t read into what Nintendo is doing and kept up with what’s been going on in the court case, (and perhaps meant to put a /s at the end of your first comment), or you’re blaming Pal world for something Nintendo did because they are big mad that anyone would dare make a game even remotely similar to theirs. I don’t care if you’re defending Nintendo or not.
NINTENDO LITERALLY APPLIED FOR PATENTS FOR GAME MECHANICS used in Palworld after the game was already released to the public. They invented a reason to sue. They directly manufactured it. Your inability to communicate your thoughts on the matter is not my problem.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 5 weeks ago:
So, Nintendo can file parents after years of not filing them just to fuck with an Indie company after that company put out a product with game mechanics that “infringe said parents”, but not to go after other large gaming companies like Microsoft that also infringe those same patents. Interesting take.

- Comment on Can't believe we have to say this but, don't use your work email for adult content 1 month ago:
At one point the IT department where I work were asking questions about why I tether my phone to my work laptop when I’m out of the office (working from home). I told them very specifically that I would not connect any device I didn’t have administrator control over to my home network. They didn’t ask anymore questions after that. I have a work phone and work laptop for work things. I use both only for work things. I have two personal computers, and two personal phones (one for messing with roms). I don’t need their hardware for anything in my personal life. Nope. Not even a Google search.
They also asked me if I wanted my personal phone logged into the wifi and I gave them serious side eye before saying no thanks.
- Comment on This Lemmy user's threats are mildly infuriating 1 month ago:
No. They can’t sue you for asserting that you libel’d them because you are not causing harm to their reputation. You can make assertions about anybody on the internet, but they have to prove they were harmed reputation ally by what you said and they would lose because they don’t have a reputation attached to who they actually are in real life associated with their Lemmy account. They’re full of shit and this is an attempt to strong arm you.
Report them and block them and be prepared to block and report any new account a harassing you until they get themselves an IP ban.

- Comment on Google used AI to suspend over 39M ad accounts suspected of fraud 1 month ago:
Oh the third hand, Google fomented the scam ads that then took over that they are now using their AI tool to solve, and it’s come very late to the table to do so. They shouldn’t have to rely on AI to clean up their mess. They should have been facilitating protocols to vet ads long before now. At best the AI might be faster, but those results will still more than likely need to be checked by people (at the very least, appeals will be, but perhaps most of these scam ad companies won’t try to appeal).
With the use of AI to deny or approve healthcare insurance claims etc, this is exactly why we should be pushing for legislation that regulates AI. There’s too many people who are all “cats out of the bag” and not enough people going, we should be regulating this.
- Comment on Why Are Gamers UPSET With The Switch 2?! - The Act Man 2 months ago:
It’s a bad time for an increase economically. But when you realize that we have been paying $60 USD for games since at least the 90’s and $60 in 90’s money is something like $150 in 2025 money, you realize just how good we’ve had it for a long time. And then take into account that games have become more and more expensive to make (yeah yeah I understand that a lot of the cost is down to a lot of non-game development relevant jobs), you don’t start to wonder why they didn’t increase prices before?
- Comment on Why Are Gamers UPSET With The Switch 2?! - The Act Man 2 months ago:
Some of them are just fine with the switch 2 hardware and even understand that game prices have been stagnant for some time. But Nintendo has been constantly showing us they aren’t a company we want to continue to support and if you couple that with affordability you’re gonna have a bad time.
They’re charging $90 for a game that plays better on non-oem hardware than it did on it’s original intended hardware, a game a lot of fans have already bought (who would still need to pay an additional $10 fee just to get the game running the way it probably should have run from the start).
I mean this in the best possible way, but Nintendo fans are avid collectors and they want this, but Nintendo dissuades them in multiple ways from showing support.
