These are the same types who think being "consumer friendly " is a weakness. Nothing they say should be taken seriously.

Microsoft spent a decade actively destroying every bit of goodwill they created during the 360 era. They only recently starting building it back up - all with zero marketing budget. It is a giant ship that will take a long time to turn around.
It does seem like Nintendo is intent on helping them steer that ship though. Sony is going to Sony Iâm not sure there is anything they can do to snap their people out of their hypnotized state.
Microsoft has been trying since Phil Spencer took over, this isnât some recent development were they decided to try to win people over.

I agree. Not all of us jumped into his warm lap right away. Just as one anecdote indicative of trends: I left circa 2012 and came back 2024. I wouldnât have come back if it werenât for my extensive 360 library and Sonyâs hilarious, disastrous summer showcase of that same year (the one where they spent 15 minutes talking about that Gran Turismo movie lolloll).
it takes a while. I wish theyâd up their budget and let people know in a faster manner.

Well, the thing isâŚ
I gave her a very cool looking (but in hindsight) too heavy/big collar of Iron Man and I remember how she had this bad state may of last year. Thatâs when I realized those two likely are connected, because it was the exact same behaviour. As soon as I took the collar off last year it was gone. I hate myself for not seeing it on day one that this collar wasnât it for her.
I always try to stay realistic and not get my hopes up too quickly, but it is going damn well for her. And thatâs everything to me. For all I care bombs could drop here (so to speak) but if my dog is feeling good, thatâs all I need, sheâs the best, truly the best. What I wouldnât give to have her grow old with me, sigh.
So best to just enjoy every single second you have with them. You had a Frenchy? They are so great, my previous dog was a Frenchy as well, but sadly had epilepsy all her life, thatâs why I got so depressed when it seemed Lara was suffering from it as well.
Knocks on wood for this situation to become 100% good again.

I have two frenchies now - the older one passed a long time ago. fun dogs but man do they have health problems. They will only get worse here in the states every other dog is a french now - you know the puppy farms are going full blast and the breed quality is very likely to suffer.
I think our next dog will be an ole workhorse - like a common lab or golden. something you can throw off a mountain and they will come back unscathed and wagging. i exaggerate

I remember being blown away with FFXV loading or even Tekken 6 (thanks Max) loading, and they were done by raw power. Good times.

Minecraft Vibrant visuals are in Preview and Beta versions on PC and Xbox.
Go into Experiments when creating a new world and tick the box. Then the new options appear in the video settings under Graphics mode. Select the Technical preview graphic mode and voilĂ !
It looks amazing.

Off topic I guess, but it repeatedly feels like weâre living in the dumbest timeline, and âinfluencersâ in any other timeline would be shunned as the fucking morons most so clearly are (it says tourist but the article confirms itâs a dumbass looking for followers and âcloutâ):

There wasnât any specific talk, but Obsidian has said they will be doing a road map, so fingers cross for DLC. Also, Pillars 1 is getting a turn-based mode in the future, which makes me wonder if Pillars 2 is already turn-based? As I never played it as I wanted to play one first (of course I skipped all the way to Avowed lol).

Nice, time for me to put in another 2 hours of Minecraft before I stop like I always do when I play it.
