@mooreslawisdead @asha_shar when your core audience created a environment where they farm Microsoft points in order to swap it for Game Pass time (effectively spending 0 USD on the platform), how do you transition to a "you need to buy games full price next gen, digitally btw". Xbox is cooked... i mean XBOX

#XBOX Fans need to accept that Game Pass needs to go. Game Pass will eventually kill XBOX if @asha_shar doesn't kill Game Pass first. It was always a business model that would never work unless Microsoft cemented a monopoly in gaming, and it's incredible anyone ever defended it as anything but a grossly anti-consumer initiative... youtube.com/shorts/NJz3FVi…

🎮 Pokémon GO celebrates its 10th anniversary with a massive Times Square takeover Nearly 2,000 players gathered in New York City for one of the largest in-person Pokémon GO battles ever. To mark the game's 10th anniversary, Times Square's giant screens were transformed into a Pokémon-themed spectacle, where players teamed up to defeat the legendary Mewtwo. Some fans said they were moved to tears when they saw their own Pokémon appear on the massive screens. Developers said the game will continue to evolve, focusing on new technologies and bringing people together through real-world experiences.

@Naughty_Dog @SonySantaMonica Sad that it was announced as a early stages development... 2029 game?

@SonySantaMonica We can’t wait to play!!

🤝

@nexta_tv You should credit @luismbat if you're going to post his work.

They forgot Kevin on purpose😱— a physicist calculated how realistic it actually is to oversleep and leave a kid home alone Turns out the chances that several people go to bed at 11 PM and all sleep through an 8 AM wake-up before a long flight are close to zero — just 0.13%. Merry Christmas!🎄

@longislandviper @LastStandMedia Amazing! Here's to another year of surpassing Xbox hardware sales! 🍻

Thank you for making 2025 @LastStandMedia's highest-grossing year ever. It's all due to our loyal fanbase, and my amazing team that makes the engine run! Nearly nine years in, and we're stronger than ever.

@G27Status This aged like fine wine

Submitting my final prediction: Divinity Original Sin 3. What do you think this is?

@JamiesAct You should do (or someone) a montage of everytime Jez was a little silly boy on X and his propaganda website. Some well respected people talk about Jez like he is a journalist, but they prolly are not familiar with his work.

🤡🥲

@Genki_JPN @blackscreenrec Nice! Huge client of them! Love their offering!

@SamsungMobileUS Just wait until iPhone air gets some real world back pocket action. You will see the fold!

#iCant believe this is still relevant. 💀

@GenePark Everyone should buy this OST, buy buying on Apple Music is just giving money to Apple. People should buy it on BandCamp!

i bought the clair obscur soundtrack, which is 3/5 of the game’s cost. worth. i pay for my music.

@CurtaVermelha Em tom pessoal, sou subscritor do serviço da F1 TV desde que está disponível, e estou super contente com o que o serviço dá, e o preço que é. Não consigo pensar em nada pior do que ver F1 na sportTV ou DAZN com aqueles comentaristas de balcão de café.

@CurtaVermelha A melhor comparação é o Steam. Como é que um serviço novo aparece e vira sucesso na altura que pirataria no PC era muito acessível a qualquer pessoa. E tens uma citação do Gabe Newell que diz exatamente isto.

Estes anúncios contra as iptvs fazem me lembrar aqueles antigos dos DVDs "You wouldn't steal a car" que muitas vezes víamos em DVDs copiados. O modelo de negócio do Spotify veio mostrar que as pessoas quando valorizam um serviço e o preço é justo estão mais que dispostas a pagar por ele. Toda a gente tinha Napster e LimeWire na altura. Apareceu o Spotify e hoje já ninguém saca música e a maioria pagamos um qualquer serviço para ouvir. O Spotify oferece comodidade a ouvir música, coisa que as pessoas estão dispostas a pagar para ter. Querem acabar com a pirataria? Ou dêem um serviço pelo qual valha a pena pagar ou dêem um preço que os clientes achem justo, isto é um case study mais que visto, ninguém está aqui a reinventar a roda. Se é fácil dar a volta ao sistema é o sistema que está mal feito e não vai ser por pedirem muito que as pessoas vão parar, concentrar-se em melhorar o modelo de negócio em vez de pensarem nestes anúncios que só servem para rir e as pessoas vão atrás.

@DestinLegarie It's great that the acting in cutscenes, art direction and music are good. But it really shows the overall feel of the game, when an "action-adventure" game, the only thing positive is the art of the game. They should prolly try to hone their skills in the gameplay department.

Ok to avoid being so negative here’s my more positive thoughts regarding South of Midnight -Hazel is actually great and I think a lot of the acting in cutscenes is really well done. -The art direction is really beautiful. The world and character designers really knocked it out of the park. -There are some excellent musical pieces that will play during your journey. They’re memorable and fit well within the gameplay shown.

@ZakkenKloot Your source says sea of thieves sold 1.8M on PS5, the same source says Astro bot sold over 2.3M. So how did it outsold exactly?

✅Sea of Thieves on PS5 outsold Astro Bot Hilarious 🤣

@GenePark throughout*

@GenePark Hey Gene, greetings from the LSM crew! How is the performance on the switch? I'm guessing it runs at 30 fps, but is it consistent through out?

Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition reveals the game as the influential open-world game it always has been since 2015. It’s an endless flow of knobs and tweaks for incredible systems and mechanics that makes this easily one of my favorite games ever washingtonpost.com/entertainment/…

@IconEra_ The jokes write themselves... this is 2 days after he promptly published a piece announcing a "xbox handheld" to release this year.... This is peak XBOX "journalism"

@longislandviper Shawn Layden for obvious reasons. Phill Spencer would be nice so he could talk about Microsoft plans for Playstation (bonus credit, would have some ppl fuming) Mike Ybarra - currently speaking freely on X, former Blizz President and left after Microsoft bought ABK.

Who should I interview on Sacred Symbols+? Why would said person be interesting to talk to? Only rule: Suggestions have to have some relevance and presence in our space. Leave your choice at your leisure. I'll mute and pick through at a later date. Thank you for your time. <3

@footballontnt No Salah*

Nuno Mendes won 8/8 tackles and 11/11 duels tonight. He limited Mo Salah to: 0 shots 0 dribbles 0 chances created A top performance from the left-back 👏
