- Comment on We Finally Know How Much the Xbox Handheld Will Cost 1 week ago:
So, they increased the price to buy into their ecosystem with a second price hike this year, now they are asking a grand for a handheld, they must really want out of gaming, I know the tariffs suck but this just comes across as too much.
It’s $999 plus taxes in most places, then you need Game Pass Ultimate to stream games to this thing, something they are using as a selling point, that’s a couple hundred per year and like any streaming service subject to sudden increases. I just don’t understand where they thing people are getting this money, there are signs people have already started pulling back.
The Series S which was under powered according to a lot of devs even on release, is now 400 dollars for 500GB, 450 for 1TB, then the Series X now ranges 600 Digital, 650 Disc, 730 2TB, 800 2TB special color. As someone that has preferred Xbox since the OG, I think they’ve lost it, at least for now the PS Pro is 750 and objectively the better.
- Comment on In the olden days, when people got married a lot younger, there were probably lots of grandparents in their thirties 2 months ago:
I knew both of my Great Grandmothers, our family had a habit of starting early so to speak. One of them died when I was a teen from Alzheimer's and the one I was super close with and took for donuts and beer runs died the year I turned 21 just a couple of days after we went out for dinner, it was a soul crushing reality in how things can change without warning.

Yeah but he's a white foreigner, that's different... but you know, it's totally not racism...
- Comment on Prince Andrew must be seething that Donald Trump gets to chug along like nothing happened. 2 months ago:
Andrew screwed himself with that TV interview, he could likely have weathered it by keeping his mouth shut and just issuing a statement similar to what Donald says, I knew him, found out he was a creep and tossed him out of Mar-a-Lago. I seem to remember at one point an attorney for Guilffre claimed that had he not said he didn't know or meet her in that TV interview there wouldn't have been a lawsuit.
So if he's seething, it's his own damn fault.
- Comment on Google Plans To Combine ChromeOS and Android Into Single Platform 2 months ago:
Does this mean they've given up on Fuschia? We've been hearing that was coming for years.
I also question if this move will mean the end of those low cost Chromebooks that got so many to use them, and schools to purchase them. It'll be interesting to see where this ends up.
