At this point, they should deprecate Xbox PC app, and move to Battle.net
It is proven, stable, works great
And has been around more or less a long as Steam did
One of the best PC stores is in their control, and they barely use it.

Refunded Crimson Desert on Xbox PC App. Refuses to launch, no matter what I do. Xbox SEVERELY needs to fix their Xbox PC app if they are moving to Helix.

@PalmyrPar IMAX is temporary, bluray is forever ...

When the movie leaves theaters, the full definition will be lost thanks to this crazy IMAX shenanigans

It’s gonna be so awesome when the full frame ISN’T included on the $40+ blu-ray release because the IMAX company are the biggest pieces of shit in history

@TheJobfather__ Yep.
Anakin is basically Paul, and Palpatine is heavily inspired by Leto II
Even the "sand planet" setting was heavily borrowed from.

Dune inspired Game of Thrones and Star Wars. Frank Herbert is they pappy

@CoffeeBlackMD Between losing mobility and keeping your sanity

One of them is hugely difficult for your family and caretakers
The other one is mostly difficult for you... :(

@casey_Payne23 The second game, they leaned on the wrong things.
I was a huge fan of Zero Dawn, finished the game, and spent a lot of hours in it.
I could not do the same in Forbidden West. It was designed more for "influencers" and "social media" than actual gamers.

Never see these dudes sharing actual gameplay. Ever. Not even story beats.

@alanthefisher Again CHSR has nothing to do with rail. They don't lay tracks.
They take public money, and make some insiders rich.
And occasionally do photo ops.
They don't even have a full plan of the route after the official project completion date (2020) already passed.
English
@alanthefisher It is just a massive graft wrapped in a nice thing people actually want.
This photo is a stark reminder of that. The bridge to literal nowhere is extremely expensive compared to the tracks. So they just built lots of them, made crony contractors rich.
But laid zero tracks.
English
there are so many astroturfed conservatives against CAHSR because the second that there is a working train between 2 cities in the US that can hit 200mph it is fundamentally over for the argument of "that doesn't work here"
The oil lobby will do everything possible to stop that

@HSVSphere It is still against First Amendment, and the rights Americans hold dear.
Compelled speech, especially by governments is illegal, and it is literally a pillar of fascism.
English
Not a bad thing, you know it is impossible to stop everywhere, so might as well add an API that's unattestable and very easily fakeable preemptively so the government doesn't have a chance to build a worse-for-freedom API.

Türkiye’s ‘Drone Killer’ Goes Global: MKE TOLGA TOLGA, a Turkish short-range air defense system developed by Makine ve Kimya Endüstrisi (MKE), is a layered air defense solution designed to counter low-altitude threats such as drones. It combines AESA radar, electro-optical sensors, jammers, and multiple gun systems ranging from 12.7 mm to 35 mm to create both soft-kill and hard-kill capabilities. Future upgrades are expected to include laser and microwave weapons.

Its funny, cause when you do the quest that is above this scene, there is tons of sneaking around, killing enemies, avoiding traps. You even get to decide whether or not to execute a man at the end of it. This doesn't satisfy everyone's inner edge lord apparently.

No single image of Starfield better illustrates how toothless, gutless, lacking in grit and texture than this one does. I made the mistake of visiting Neon late in my playthrough, excited about the idea of visiting a sleazy Cyberpunk planet. What I found was a clown show. There is something hollow and sad about the entirety of Starfield's worldbuilding and lore, that I can't even bring myself to be mad about - I'm just disappointed. This doesn't feel like a universe comprised of competing factions and people, it feels like a bunch of empty mannequins shooting at each other over nothing. Everything feels so dumbed down and family friendly. All the edges filed off to make everything palatable and bland. It's sad.

@Itsfoss They are not even "begrudgingly" complying with the path to censorship.
They are just silently letting it happen.
I don't know what to say. It is quite a letdown of the principles.

Moderators of the r/Linux subreddit are now censoring posts which talk about Age Verification.
Not only are posts being removed, but I’ve heard from multiple Reddit users who have been banned from r/Linux for expressing opposition to Age Verification.

@PigeonGoGaming Don't they have some cross funding in this project from Amazon? Maybe they could help.
I'm really sad though. They were also supposed to help with that ill fated Perfect Dark reboot...

🚨 NEWS: Pray for Tomb Raider 🙏
Crystal Dynamics is being hit with a 4th round of layoffs in 12 months.
- At least 20 people are effected.
Hopefully Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis & Catalyst will boost the studio again!
🤔 What do you think?

I have zero trust in a "Sony" launcher.
I was a Funimation customer, and they deleted my "purchases" after taking it over.
And it is not the first time they rug pulled paying customers. So, there is no guarantee they won't say "we are shutting down PC store with your content in it"
(TBF, Microsoft did a similar thing with "Games for Windows" store)
English
Latest rumors.
- Sony will sell their PC games on their own store.
- Some think Wolverine may release day 1 on PC, but will require a Sony launcher and PSN account.
---> This way they can avoid PC Games on Helix.
A PSN launcher have been rumored for years already...

@MrStarfield22 This was a low hanging fruit, and I don't know why they did not fix it earlier.
Legitimately, a simple update to their RNG to make sure we don't see civilian outposts on the moon, or see the same exact one we saw 5 minutes ago would be a massive improvement.

Bethesda confirmed theyve addressed one of the biggest critiques of Starfield - repetitive POIs
Theyve added new POIs and adjusted the rates of locations appearing - which should theoretically reduce the repetition.
If effective, it sure feels more like a 2.0 than ever
