- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 1 day 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 There's no horses in Baldurs Gate 3 3 days ago:
Yep, and yet people do not critique it’s open world for being empty.

- 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 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.

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 People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 4 months ago:
I bought the thing. I should control want it shows at all times. The reason I can’t trust the company to futz with that is why I don’t have one.
- 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 Nobody who complains about video games costing more than $60 ever considers inflation 4 months ago:
It’s the inflation of everything else that contributes to this frustration. Food prices have risen over the same period at higher rates.
- 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.

- 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 YSK that if U.S. housing and U.S population projections hold, the Electoral College will shift further away from Democrats after the 2030 census. 5 months ago:
It took the Emperor 20 years to remove the Senate in Star Wars.
- Comment on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation 6 months ago:
Because businesses that use .NET are already paying for it with their visual studio subscription or higher Microsoft support. It’s a bare minimum product that has no incentive to improve because no one pays for it. But businesses force the use of because “we’re already paying for it”

Executives are getting kickbacks? I’ve gotta do some research here.

- Comment on Xbox returns to gamescom next month with over 20 playable demos, including Hollow Knight: Silksong 6 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 6 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 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.

- Comment on Netflix Says 50 Percent of Global Users Now Watch Anime, Reveals Expanded Slate 7 months ago:
I wonder what is causing this. Netflix being unable to buy or create shows to fill demand, Hollywood Writing going downhill, or Executives cancelling shows quickly.
- Comment on As Data Centers Proliferate, Illinois Communities Grapple with How to Supply the Necessary Water 7 months ago:
In an ideal world I think data center waste heat would be captured for use in a district thermal grid / seasonal thermal energy store like the one in Vantaa.
Yes, this would be the ideal for dealing with that issue. Re-use that heat to generate some of the energy the data center is demanding.
Imagine there’s an engineering & physics issue to be solved. But where would we find those top talent people to solve it?
