Seems a foregone conclusion at this point that they’re going to brand a PC as an Xbox and allow it to run both Xbox and PC games on it. They may not even bother making the hardware themselves like they’re doing with this partnership on the “Xbox” handheld which is really just a cross branded Asus handheld.

While I agree with you in principle, they didn’t buy the Initiative. It was a studio they founded that hasn’t shipped a single game.

Perfect Dark looked cool though, this is a major bummer.

That’s the exact one I’m talking about, actually!

I have a controller that plugs right into my opener with a magnetic sensor for if the door is open or not. Running Homebridge I can see it and open and close it from anywhere. Did it all the way from Thailand a while back just for shits and giggles. I gotta see if I can configure it to auto shut if it’s still open at night, have had a couple of whoopsies there.

I should spin this game up again

I actually just found my third party gameboy color bendy worm light. It’s a shame though, the LED in it is clearly degraded after 25+ years. It barely lights up.

Well, there’s always 686 Ebullient Prism or 2401 Penitent Tangent

Was hoping for something halo since it’s #343

Truly a man of the people

I agree that people glaze up Gabe way too much (the dude has a fuckin mega yacht for Christ’s sake), but in the specific area of games pricing I don’t think Steam is much of a problem from a consumer standpoint. I still think they should give more of the sale share to the actual devs though.

Any bets on how long until this repo gets nuked?

I get the impression that the cops are about to hate facial recognition all of the sudden, for no particular reason

I may do this with my second gameboy color. Any good ways to remove scuffs from the plastic shell?

This is sad. I was a Halo fanatic. I read every book. I owned a three foot metal energy sword for god’s sake. Watching 343 waffle on what the hell to do on the game side has been frustrating. They had plenty of bright spots in their games (I actually liked warzone in halo 5…) but they lacked vision and conviction in the storytelling that I think really contributed to the fan exodus.

I hope they can turn things around with their new name and new leadership, but I’m not holding my breath.

Yeah the praise is a bit much for me. I went back to try it and I was thinking that while it runs better, I still find it janky and extremely underwhelming. Legends Arceus was far more interesting to me.

Hearing you can download as much RAM as you need on this phone too. CHECKMATE LIBS

Considering you get better items when you’re behind, it’s a no brainer

We called that game “Don’t Drink and Drive” back in college. I always just chugged mine at the beginning of the race

Do people really get hours of fun out of losing races due to catch-up mechanics?

I regularly get blue shelled and I still smoke people. There’s still lots of strategy in the game and randomization is something that keeps games fresh. At the end of the day it’s an arcade racer, not everything has to be Gran Turismo
