they knocked down that sweet, sweet upload bandwidth per month from 20TB to 2TB last year. now, theyre adjusting prices, I cant see a way this doesnt get more expensive for me 5 years down the line…

I agree with the sentiment OP should have just googled this, but we dont know who this person is. what if they are a child? Who says basic questions arent allowed? am I missing something?
I’m neutral on this kind of question, I just don’t answer in the hopes someone else does and just move on
- Comment on Next-Generation Xbox Could Launch in 2027, Hints AMD - IGN 5 weeks ago:
this was the most underwhelming console generation ever. I feel graphical and innovative gaming boundaries haven’t been pushed at all by first party studios enough to warrant purchasing a ps6 or series x 2
I wonder what next generation consoles will do… I wish Sony and Microsoft went all-in on first party VR support and had all next next gen consoles ship with headsets, but I recoil at the potential price of this lol

Gotta go to the bathroom? Too damn bad. You’re a public servant.
you lost me here, this is an insane statement. a camera always on even when youre in the bathroom?
if i was in a public restroom with a police officer, I now have to worry about being on camera in the one place where cameras are illegal? come on…
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 1 month ago:
I feel like this is why I dropped playing many rogue-likes and am currently addicted to playing arc raiders, as you lose so many things if you die and have to self-evaluate every single time you don’t get home.
I have to get home and survive in order to actually grow my character positively, where dying punishes me for losing (almost) everything and gaining very little experience points to allocate to my characters permanent buffs.

I was neutral about this game coming out when I heard the forza guys were making this.
not to sound like a total bummer, but with everything Microsoft is doing in regards to Xbox, how can I get hype over this or gears?
