Wow

According to these industry insiders, the global chip shortage woes now affect the chipmaking machines themselves .

Series S & Cloud will truly shine :fire:

The cloud still needs Series X chips though

It’s like people think Xcloud is some nebulous thing when in reality it is basically a Series X in a server blade. I suppose technically more people can access it, so you are able to reach more people, but you still need millions of chips.

Yikes, this won’t be solved for a good while still.

This gen will be longer than the 360 gen.

At least the machines we have are powerful unlike last gen not to mention with things like DLSS/FSR or whatever they are called, that will help massively when they start being adopted further into the gen

Which is what they deployed last year.

Glad I picked up a back-up Series X hehe.

Late last year the servers also had queues for the first time publicly. What they deployed is obviously not enough if it were to grow more and when it’s eventually out of beta

But that’s the thing - last year Microsoft threw a lot of production capacity into server blades. It was speculated around half of more of Series X blades was put into Azure blades. Also even now Microsoft puts the server blades - with cloud infrastructure in place they can provide access to the games to more people.

Thanks to Series S they can sacrifice some Series X sales in favor of Azure blades.

Nowadays they open access to more regions and a lot of people are content with the quality.

Makes me feel bad having two Halo edition consoles one I’m using and one still boxed in a display cabinet :shushing_face: to be fair I did sell my OG day one series x though.

This is the way.

If they drop a Starfield XSX I might have to get a third

A Fallout 1 Remake in Fallout 4, and apparently Fallout 2 also has a fan Remake in the work.

Ya know, if I saw this a couple years ago, I would have freaked out. But, as of late, I have begun to realize that a game is a game is a game. So I hope it’s good :man_shrugging:.

So I ugh bought a lot of Halo stuff
 I am a sucker.

Watched all of them again.

Pirates 1-4 remain great, interesting and memorable characters, great humor, interesting stories, they are just great adventures really. I really like Peneloppe Cruz in 4 too.

Biggest surprise for me was how much better I liked 5 a second time watching it. I don’t know back in 2017 why it underwhelmed me that much, but I definitely enjoyed it a lot more now. It however isn’t nearly as great as 1-4. Especial Javier Bardem just isn’t interesting as Salazar, i honestly found his acting on the cheesy side even. He certainly is no Barbossa, Jones or Blackbeard.

I heard that Pirates 6 will star Margot Robbie, I really like her and I bet she’ll pull it off, playing a interesting, quirky pirate but she can’t replace Depp. So I can see it being a fun pirate movie, but not a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Spoilers from Pirates 5

It seems Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley could be returning too, and Davey Jones as well. Wonder how he survived, but then again in PotC nobody really seems to die, none of the big ones. I bet Barbossa isn’t gone either. Big shame if they all return but Depp doesn’t. Can’t blame him though.
