Game Pass is up 70% in price year over year because Microsoft bought Activision. After Microsoft told regulators it wouldn’t do so.
Xbox One was the worst console I ever owned. Three separate OS badly packaged. It was rebuilt 3x and I finally just threw it away. Took forever to download endless updates or get games to work. And you need to download the game with a fairly limited drive and no novel compression tech.
Microsoft has been fairly shitty at anything hardware throughout its history.

@previous (B)
I think a lot of their success early on was due to their competition making bad moves. They did have Halo and the first actually good and cohesive online play for a console, which were huge. But if GameCube hadn't flopped compared to the PS2, there may not have been any real market space for a "newcomer", no matter how innovative their ideas were. Come the 360 era, they fucked up the hardware so bad that literally their only saving grace was the Wii going off and doing its own thing, and the PS3 sucking total dick for the first two thirds of the generation, leaving the 360 the default option.

PS3 suck cos it had to be a gaming and promote blue-ray. Sony made ps worse to get a leg up in physical media. Not sure if the end result was worth it.

I’ve been gaming on a Mac since the M series chips came out.
What? Sue me. It can do 4K at 120 FPS.

Not sure if it was a total wiff, but home theater nerds tended to not buy toys for serious viewing. Agreed on too much energy spent here.

Just saw the CEO of Substack celebrating traffic from X/Twitter shooting up thinking they stopped suppressing tweets with links[0]. Actually, this traffic is because now any time you open a tweet with a link, the in-app webview loads in the background, and displays when you press the link.
I run an ecom store that gets a lot of its customers from Twitter. I was also shocked to see my traffic double or triple overnight and thought the algorithm had blessed me and my business. Soon realized what was actually happening. Thought other traffic-monitors might appreciate this explanation.
Meanwhile Nikita Bier is pretending they never suppressed tweets with links to begin with, offering the alternative explanation: "a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good"[1]. A bit of a rewriting of history since Elon and his mom both tweeted about how it wasn't fair to use his platform to promote other links/platforms, even banning people who shared profiles of other social networks (including Paul Graham for a period). They suppressed all links shortly after.

It's a Windows skin, and inherits those problems.
PS is FreeBSD skin, so smooth that you merge with the system.

They’re all going to move to Steam-like service provision. Consoles are dead. You are now a perpetual game renter. I’m sure you can store your games on their cloud for an additional monthly fee.

@1,401,338 (M)What in Davy Jones' locker did ye just bark at me, ye scurvy bilgerat? I'll have ye know I be the meanest cutthroat on the seven seas, and I've led numerous raids on fishing villages, and raped over 300 wenches. I be trained in hit-and-run pillaging and be the deadliest with a pistol of all the captains on the high seas. Ye be nothing to me but another source o' swag. I'll have yer guts for garters and keel haul ye like never been done before, hear me true. You think ye can hide behind your newfangled computing device? Think twice on that, scallywag. As we parley I be contacting my secret network o' pirates across the sea and yer port is being tracked right now so ye better prepare for the typhoon, weevil. The kind o' monsoon that'll wipe ye off the map. You're sharkbait, fool. I can sail anywhere, in any waters, and can kill ye in o'er seven hundred ways, and that be just with me hook and fist. Not only do I be top o' the line with a cutlass, but I have an entire pirate fleet at my beck and call and I'll damned sure use it all to wipe yer arse off o' the world, ye dog. If only ye had had the foresight to know what devilish wrath your jibe was about to incur, ye might have belayed the comment. But ye couldn't, ye didn't, and now ye'll pay the ultimate toll, you buffoon. I'll shit fury all over ye and ye'll drown in the depths o' it. You're fish food now.
