Games I Beat in 2026 Game 1: Final Fantasy. Super charming and basic. Generic enemies mixed with future series staples. Good to see where it came from. Went in blind, made many mistakes. Chaos, especially in the Pixel Remaster, was one of the worst, hardest endgame bosses I've fought. However, it was one of the most satisfying. Overall: B+

That’s insane that’s like 3-4 major studios

@LikeToBeBossy @chaosprimeZ So you didn’t even play them prior

@backlogcarl @chaosprimeZ I’m not very interested in those big titles from Xbox. More for those smaller games

I was thinking last week, that I would be interested in getting an Xbox series X or the next Xbox if they keep exclusive games and still invest in physical games, but after yesterdays news I’m not sure anymore. Closing studios and laying off developers is not what I support

@__RiseAgain__ Yeah but even still you say the pre-Anita days like it actually means anything. Did you play any of these games better yet what was the last double fine game you played?

@backlogcarl I said she banks on liberal guilt i.e. Schafer's guilt. I know he's a leftist and leftists will hire Anita to purify their houses of evil.

It's very surprising they worked with her because Anita was exposed long ago as saying on video in college that she never played video games and then made a snide remark about how gross and violent they are. She then worked with the media to craft her new image: Lifelong gamer girl who just happened to notice sexism in all the games she loved. She isn't an authority on anything and Schafer saying "blind spots we didn't even know were there" shows she is a glorified ghost hunter finding the hidden demons you can't see. Anita is a charlatan banking on liberal guilt in gaming. Nothing more. Farewell, Double Fine. You were awesome until you weren't. I enjoyed many of your games Pre-Anita.

Waffle House for people that can’t fight.

@is__portal That dlc was ass

I think about insomniac hammer head a lot

@BernieSanders You get paid to do nothing for the American people. How is that possible?

THE INSANELY RIGGED ECONOMY Yesterday, while tens of millions of families were struggling to pay for rent, food, healthcare, childcare and gas, seven of Trump's oligarchic friends became $210 billion richer. Not last week. Not over the past decade. In less than 24 hours, these 7 men, the wealthiest people on earth, became $210 billion richer. Incredibly, since Trump was elected on November 5, 2024, these 7 men, all Big Tech Oligarchs, have become more than $1.5 trillion richer and are now collectively worth over $2.8 trillion. Meanwhile, we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any other wealthy nation, young adults have a lower standard of living than their parents and over 20% of our seniors are trying to survive on an annual income of $15,000 a year or less. Yes. We are living in an oligarchy. A Good Day for Trump’s Friends: Yesterday, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, got $164.8 billion richer and is now worth $1.4 trillion. He’s worth $1.1 trillion more than on Election Day. Yesterday, Larry Page, the second wealthiest man in the world, gained $7.61 billion in wealth and is now worth $314 billion. He’s worth $161 billion more than on Election Day. Yesterday, Sergey Brin, the third richest man in the world, got $7.01 billion richer and is now worth $292 billion. He’s worth $148 billion more than on Election Day. Yesterday, Jeff Bezos, the fourth richest man in the world, gained $6.96 billion in wealth and is now worth $267 billion. He’s worth $46 billion more than on Election Day. Yesterday, Larry Ellison, the fifth wealthiest man in the world, gained $8.92 billion in wealth and is now worth $247 billion. He’s worth $63 billion more than on Election Day. Yesterday, Michael Dell, the sixth richest man in the world, got $5.86 billion richer and is now worth $218 billion. He’s worth $101 billion more than on Election Day. Yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg, the seventh richest man in the world, gained $9.16 billion in wealth and is now worth $211 billion. He’s worth $8 billion more than on Election Day. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best: “Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all of God’s children.”

I'm gettin' sick of yall damn excuses.

@fiago7 Wyoming

I‘ve visited Florida, New York, New Jersey, California & Illinois now. Which state should I explore next? 🇺🇸

Oh, you found Sturgis. This guy is an actual retard who basically only tells you the popular thing on Twitter. He hangs out with the JV anti-woke guys and just meat-rides waiting for head pats. He’s the worst type of person to give a point to, as he can’t make an intelligent one without looking for Twitter’s answer first. However, IMO here are the games that aren’t shit: All the Forza Horizon games I love them to death. They’re my favorite racing games and feel like Need for Speed Underground’s successor from my childhood. I loved Gears 5 and think it got way too much hate. After replaying 4 this year, I felt I was too harsh on it back in the day. They still aren’t perfect but I wouldn’t call them shit. State of Decay and Sea of Thieves are great, but due to life I can’t play with friends like I used to. Same with Grounded (I’m just the mule to fight and carry stuff). Halo Infinite felt way better and more fun than Halo 5 in every way, but I don’t play multiplayer anymore so no view on that. I enjoyed South of Midnight but it had issues. If they close it, it would be sad as the game should get a second chance to learn from its mistakes. World’s Edge, the Age of Empires and mythology studio, has done an absolutely fantastic job with these IPs. Constant content updates, amazing remasters, and adding new civilizations and game modes to older games is a 10/10 for me. Would Ninja Gaiden 4 count? It wasn’t made by Xbox but was published by them, and I loved that game last year. It was a great stress reliever. I loved Hellblade and Hellblade 2 they gave me a great experience. I’d be absolutely gutted if they close for good. Keeper was an amazing short experience. That ending was amazing everyone should check it out. I didn’t count other games from Bethesda and ABK as I feel like, while Xbox owned, they’re still getting included back into the fold.

WATCH THIS Y'ALL. List some games made by Xbox you feel aren't shit? I'm trying to see something

@_MrApartment @JackmoveJohnny That’s to kind he’s a dick rider waiting for headpats

@JackmoveJohnny That guy is literally a lolcow idiot.

@captive_dreamer I live in Illinois. I work in Elgin. Gas went from 499 by me to 399 today that’s a massive drop. In Wisconsin it was 364. If this continues to go that way it could very well be under 2.50 by me by September

👍🏻

It's very classist to watch YouTube playthroughs instead of playing the game yourself because some people just can't afford internet or a phone

@Osborne75603086 @derzum_ @captive_dreamer Tbh I think it’s due to trauma and being terminally online.

@backlogcarl @derzum_ @captive_dreamer can't remember his name now, but he basically pulled up all the research and it has to do with mass lead poisoning from what he said

Massie is such a scumbag it's unreal

@Osborne75603086 @derzum_ @captive_dreamer It’

@Osborne75603086 @derzum_ @captive_dreamer I believe if cause I knew some people like that

@captive_dreamer Tbh after Massie lost I forgot about him

PAPER TOWEL COMMERCIALS ARE SO FAKE. ITS ALWAYS A KID SPILLING JUICE AND NEVER A CAT THROWING UP.

@danno_omen It's hard, man. Even when I block and mute, more pop up. It's like a remedial hydra of bad takes.

There are way too many accounts on here that just grift, console war or bring nothing to the table and just use podcast clips for engagement. Stop giving them even a shred of attention.
