- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 16 hours ago:
I went to walmart to look for a new xbox controller for my xbox one x and they had maybe 12 games for the Xbox series X and NONE of them were anything i would ever want to purchase. Also the series X is a trash piece of equipment that has constant overheating issues, you cannot replace the hard drive if it dies, and it looks absolutely horrible design wise. They also had zero consoles in stock, while Best buy had about 12 open box Series X that people had returned for one reason or another at the outlet store.
So looks like even retailers are giving up on it.
The xbox one x was the last good console xbox made and even it has a ton of heat related issues with the HDMI circuit.
Xbox just cannot make a high quality gaming system, they just can’t. It’s been 2 decades and they still can’t get 90% of their consoles to last more than a year or 2.
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 1 day ago:
I’ve been telling people to stop supporting amazon for years, but everyone seems to have their reason to keep supporting them. This hopefully will be a good enough reason for people to finally stop shopping on amazon.
I haven’t bought anything from amazon in over 12 years. I find everything on the manufacturer’s website or eBay. No need to ever use amazon for anything.

Did you hear Trump’s press conference yesterday? Dude was talking about how much he wanted to kiss this steel worker for like 2 minutes.
They are all closet homosexuals.

I mean his base is dumb enough to fall for this trick, so it will work perfect.
I really hate how the dept of education has been destroyed over the decades and now over 70% of the country is dumb as bricks.
- Comment on Favorite Mario Party... 1 week ago:
If you want it to be more skill based, turn off bonus stars and adjust the difficulty of the minigames to the harder ones. The bonus stars are notorious for ruining your run if you were playing great all game, but someone just got awarded 2 stars, and now you are in 2nd place. Mario Party 6 has these options, so that would be a good start.

As soon as i saw the Microphone options in 7, i was very skeptical.

- Comment on Snagged a 2005 Philips TV for free! 1 week ago:
Man i had a large CRT that i got for free a few years ago and kept moving it from room to room until i finally just gave it away.
Now i see them listed for $250-300 for “retro gaming” and it’s laughable. I’ve thrown away more CRT tv’s than i can count. Also the amount of people that can properly fix a CRT tube are dwindling daily, so hopefully these retro gaming guys start learning CRT tv repair if they want the prices to be that high.

I’m very smiliar. AIM, MySpace, facebook, reddit, bluesky, lemmy. I never used Tik Tok, Instagram, SnapChat, or Twitter.
AIM was a simple time. ASL?
- Comment on Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC 1 week ago:
This stunt has caused the video to get 100 times the views it would normally get. I watched it and i never catch the colbert report unless i stumble across is online.
The Trump administration is doing their best to destroy this country, but even republicans know you don’t touch the first amendment.

- Comment on Is the Xbox One X a good console/4k player in 2026? 1 week ago:
After doing tons of research on reparability, I realized Microsoft has ruined the right to repair on the Series S/X consoles with a 1GB partition in XBFS format that no OS can read and has a hardware encryption key in that partition.
All SSD’s fail, and all the Series S/X consoles use WD NVME SSD’s that WILL fail. You cannot just swap hard drives without cloning the original, but if the original isn’t readable, then your console is bricked permanently. The Xbox one consoles don’t have this partition and you can install a new HDD or SSD and just reinstall the OS1, OS2, or OS3 on it and it will work just like before.
This explains why i see at least 4 or 5 broken xbox series X for every 10 working ones i come across. This has removed the possibility of me ever purchasing a xbox series X until a modder or someone can figure out a way around this.
- Comment on 64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months 1 week ago:
Ruining the PC market for consumers on purpose so people will think it’s cheaper to rent computers than to own.
In the future, you will lease your computer and not own it, just as you are told to do by the billionaires who steal your pay.

Luckily i never understood what discord was for, so i never joined. But yet another company that will crash and burn because they hate consumer privacy.

Resident evil for N64 is mind boggling how they were able to shrink it down enough to fit on that tiny rom chip.

Ok, not good advice. You ignored the main questions I had. Also 4k players for PC’s are fucked and have tons of issues.
- Comment on Why Cops Frequently Got Caught Planting Drugs in 2017 | Look. All technology comes with a learning curve. 2 weeks ago:
Cops are allowed to break the law constantly and get off easy because politicians argue “no one will want to be a cop if we hold them accountable for their actions.”
It’s the dumbest thought process one could have. Wouldn’t you want GOOD cops that follow laws instead of just people who know how to yell and shoot?
- Comment on Is the Xbox One X a good console/4k player in 2026? 2 weeks ago:
I do have a Panasonic UB420, so i could do a comparison with a dedicated player. I did watch a video of the xbox one x vs the UB900 and honestly, it wasn’t much different. What problems did you notice?
- Comment on Is the Xbox One X a good console/4k player in 2026? 2 weeks ago:
PC parts are so expensive, that’s why i’m looking at these consoles. I can get a series X for the price of 32gb of ram, so that’s the main reason i am thinking about getting a newer xbox. I wanted to try out some racing sims and forza seems to be the cheapest way for me to get into it as my current computers only have integrated graphics and it seems racing sims need a pretty pricey setup to run well.

- Comment on Microsoft lost $357 billion in market cap as stock plunged most since 2020 3 weeks ago:
Attending those meetings must be soul crushing. The entire point of the call is to take advantage of your customers more, get more money out of them, and get more wasteful data centers built.
WE DON’T WANT DATA CENTERS, WE HATE THEM.
I hope AI dies a fast and painful death and the PC world can get back to normal.

Yeah go screw yourself Tech weirdo’s. You could help us, instead you just bleed us dry for profits.
- Comment on What a great idea 1 month ago:
People seem to get tunnel vision in the grocery store and ignore the dozens of people trying to move around them. I weave in and out of those groups of people quickly and try to mumble “asshole” just loud enough they can hear me as i walk by.
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 1 month ago:
These articles mean nothing. You have 2 options.
-
Leave ALL electronics at home and do not bring anything to the protest that connects to a tower or the internet.
-
Just deal with the fact you are being tracked and deal with it.

- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 1 month ago:
The open corruption and lack of empathy for the working class is just embarrassing. I hate EVERY company now since they only care about shares. They don’t even consider us as human, we are simply just tools for them and can be thrown away at any moment.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 1 month ago:
It’s unusable and they vibe coded the entire thing.
We had to switch back to windows 10 at work due to the issues we had with 11. Now my computer is permanently broken with many default applications that simply do not work and my IT department can’t figure it out.
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 1 month ago:
This is great news for the video game community as even Sony and Microsoft admit consoles have nowhere else to go. They are already maxed out mini PC’s. So without huge graphics cards, you will see ZERO actual improvements on a 2028 console.
Save your money.
- Comment on YSK: The pulled *60 Minutes* CECOT segment aired in Canada and is available online 2 months ago:
ONLY because they pulled it, millions of us have downloaded this and saved it for the future. CBS is in damage control mode filing DCMA requests to get all the Canadian copies off the internet, but we are faster.
This video doesn’t tell us anything new, we all knew they were being tortured in CECOT and trumps cronies picked that country BECAUSE of the torture and abuse.
Justice hopefully will be served and trump can go to CECOT as a prisoner.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 2 months ago:
I hate this timeline. We are forced to drive next to these death machines and the corporations that own them take zero accountability and just bribe the president for more welfare and to not ever investigate them.
Our whole country is bought and paid for by evil billionaires who dont care if we live or die.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 2 months ago:
If jellyfin was easier to use and had the same options as jellyfin, id switch over. But I’ll keep my Plex lifetime pass as long as I can until they make all lifetime passes null in the next 2 years and make us all pay monthly.
