There’s one section in particular when it’s just sublime. I’m hoping the sequel adds a few more in there.

I don’t know about banning it, but I’d love to see this Brooklyn 99 scene plastered everywhere

There’s some hands on previews now from gamescom but it might be closer to October that we see full breakdowns and benchmarks

I feel like the internet isn’t talking about how Microsoft is basically going to make Xbox the default gaming interface in like one swoop. The Xbox Full Screen Mode update will eventually go to all windows devices and it’s putting in a lot of work to make it so you never have to leave the experience (like letting you access other storefronts and open any app). Ever since they came out with the Xbox Launcher on PC it’s been behind the times and joke, so I’m loving all this effort that’s being put into not just the Xbox App but Microsoft FINALLY improving the user experience of gaming on windows. It already looks amazing and it’ll only continue to improve. And it should be everywhere within the next couple of years. It really feels like we’re approaching the realization of the Xbox vision we’ve been promised since Xbox Play Anywhere was first announced nearly a decade ago.

Yeah beginning to be like the standard the way we had DVD and then Blu-ray.

So much games content to catch up on. It feels like there’s more this year than before. It’s a great problem for consumers to have, not enough time to keep up with the games.

Which is really needed for Xbox. One of the biggest problems in gaming is how fragmented it is. And it’s an issue that was always a grim reaper over game consoles at some point in the far future. There’s no complete solution, but I really like the idea of Xbox expanding its ecosystem and working to push support for a more ubiquitous grander platform where purchases are natively supported on multiple platforms. AND you have a great Xbox interface on PC to use any storefront you want to access all your game libraries.

I feel like every week or 2 I see new games I want to play pop up in Gamepass that I wasn’t expecting, on top of the ones that I know are coming.

I turn my TV on and I notice this purple rectangle on the side of the screen and I’m like hell nooooo. Just my luck with TVs, seriously, I’m cursed.
I am so incredibly glad I went for five years of extra service when I bought the Sony A95K in 2023 otherwise the costs of repair at Sony would have been insane and might as well buy a new one. They will try to repair it at my house, in the case it needs to be repaired somewhere else I will get a temporary tv by them. That’s good service.

I’m pretty bad with TVs. They stay on most of the time so they don’t last more than 4-5 years. I also had a TV go bad this week, but now I’m really excited for the new one to get delivered. I went for a TCL low tier model with bad reviews. Why? Because it’s 85 inchs, really cheap, and most reviewers are kinda unrealistic about what a $600 85 inch TV should be. I feel like as long as it lasts me 4-5 years of non stop use, I can replace it with a 100 inch screen next time.

85 inch? Holy shiiiiiit, you are going for the real cinema theater experience, awesome! Nothing wrong with TCL and there was another extremely affordable brand, Vizio but I think it’s still not available in The Netherlands.
It seems the larger and more expensive you go,the more issues you get or i am just cursed, lol. Have had Samsung, Sony, LG throughout the years and they all had issues. TVs of old, like when we were still kids lasted incredibly long.
This is the issue on the Sony now

I am having more and more problems using the website on mobile… Sometimes the ads won’t close and they block the Reply button when you’re making a post. I don’t mind ads but they literally stop me from interacting with the site.

My last TV lasted me 12 years (Panasonic plasma) before it finally quit on me. I’ve had a Philips OLED since then (nearly 2 years now) and no problems so far.
It’s just scary how crap the sound is on €1000+ TVs these days. (And how stupidly overpriced soundbars are. Found a nice Yamaha one, though.)

I’ve had my Panasonic Plasma [54"] from 2008 until 2025 for gaming [16.5 years]. It saw close to 64 hours per week usage. It’s been even more since 2020 when I work from home and need some sort of background noise, possibly 14 hours a day. It’s still working. It’s unplugged and waiting for me to schedule a disposal pickup.
I’m hoping the LG G4 [65"] lasts me until 2030.
I have had some scares with the set, such as it getting stuck in HDR display even with SDR signals, so everything was purple and green tinted. Even power cycling the TV, AVR, and Streaming Box didn’t reset it, neither did having all 3 unplugged for 2 minutes. Something in the chain definitely got glitched and was surviving power loss too! After all that, I had to stream a HDR Signal then a SDR Signal to get it back to normal.

I’ve been pretty lucky, had a Panasonic LCD from 2006 to 2013, then a Toshiba from 2013 to 2017 then a Samsung till now - all still work, only changed for bigger screens / higher resolutions then shuffled to other rooms / storage.
Only TV I’ve had issues with was an AKAI I used as a 4K screen for work - after 2 years it intermittently won’t turn back on so have swapped it for a HiSense (it’s just a large monitor to me so I can have the 4 big windows open at once, one snapped to each corner, so I don’t need anything expensive or with bells and whistles, just 4K res).
Think I’ve been lucky - I’m tempted by an OLED with VRR when the Samsung finally dies but I think it heard me and is going to cling on forever lol, and I cba to spend the money when it’s still working and got a brilliant picture (while blacks may be better on my partner’s LG OLED I still find the clarity and colour better on my Samsung, it was a high end QLED LCD)
