XboxEra Community Hangout |OT10| Insert Catchy Quip Here

Yeah, not for me. I tried keyboard and mouse on PC with Divinity 2 and I wasn’t sure what the heck I was doing.

Using a controller is just the better experience for me all around.

Speaking of Starfield…

My requested time off at work for September 1st, 2nd and 3rd was approved yesterday and just minutes ago, I pre-ordered the Premium Digital Edition for Starfield. Super hyped!!!

But first things first, wrap up Remnant 2 and then play through Atlas Fallen which I also just pre-ordered digitally minutes ago. Oh man, what a great day!!! :joy:

I still need to play wasteland . I wasn’t able to play because it overheated my one x

When I watched him years ago (before he turned into a wannabe Xbox fan and clickbait YouTuber), he was more into JRPGs and action third/first person RPGs (Fallout, Witcher, ect). IIRC he did play Divinity Original Sin 1+2.

I hope we’re on the cusp of another generation-defining Bethesda masterpiece. :slight_smile: I suspect we are.

Here’s how Apple did versus Refinitiv consensus estimates and on a year-over-year basis:

  • EPS: $1.26 vs. $1.19 estimated
  • Revenue: $81.8 billion vs. $81.69 billion estimated, down 1%
  • iPhone revenue: $39.67 billion vs. $39.91 billion estimated, down 2%
  • Mac revenue: $6.84 billion vs. $6.62 billion estimated, down 7%
  • iPad revenue: $5.79 billion vs. $6.41 billion estimated, down 20%
  • Other Products revenue: $8.28 billion vs. $8.39 billion estimated, up 2%
  • Services revenue: $21.21 billion vs. $20.76 billion estimated, up 8%
  • Gross margin: 44.5% vs. 44.2% estimated

Dam it seems apple will be leaving the hardware market in the coming years…or some stupid shit like that I dont know.

EDIT: WAIT MS’s net profit was $20B? Holy shet what a freaking beast MS is! they could easily buy the entire industry right now and recover their money in the next year and a half :exploding_head: :exploding_head:

On the other hand I’m really surprised to see how “small” Amazon is compared to the rest.

Microsoft has already made the money back to cover the cost of ABK :sweat_smile: it’s why they can just purchase something like that, they have so much money at the point when they bought ABK it was actually costing them money to NOT spend it.

You know, if we were douches, now it will be a good time to say, “Destiny 2 is dying because of Sony purchase!” While the coincidence is staggering with Callisto suffer layoff and Square reported really rough YoY result that technically has Sony’s stain on it, it’s wise not to think it’s their fault for the fallout.

Ryan’s Touch.

They’re also a retail company.

Perks of 80% their products being digital and services & on as many platforms/devices as possible. Satya really did some insane work, wish we had invested back then :pensive:

Basically Fallout if it was good /s :rofl::pray:

What an idiot…

Some streamer was doing a console (PS5) giveaway in NYC and of course, horde of people arrived and caused chaos among them. It’s always bad idea to do a giveaway in person. This is like posting a party day over Facebook.

Idiot. Same for people who caused chaos.

Stuff like this (among other reasons) is why I want to see even single player WRPGs go online required in thr future. That said, I dunno how well being able to say whatever you want would play out with the story lines in a game lol.
