@TheSoleWitness @WiggerMaggot Theatre is the correct word. Programming with real victims.

@WiggerMaggot Fallujah was by far the worst theater of war our boys ever went through in the middle east. Look up some of the footage, hell on earth

How did it go from this to Nicki Minaj skins?

@WiggerMaggot Idolatry. Worship of hollyweird “entertainers” and influencers. (MKU personalities created purely for cia social engineering & $$$). In-game promotions proven effective by Fortnight popularity.

@Pirat_Nation Lose more $. Yeah that’s the ticket. Free everything after buying a console sold at $200 loss.

More than 20,000 Xbox fans are asking Microsoft to remove paid online multiplayer, saying players should not have to pay extra just to play online after already buying a console and games. A request on Microsoft’s Feedback Portal has received over 20,000 votes, making it one of the most popular requests from Xbox users. Fans want online multiplayer to be free instead of requiring a Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

@JGODYT Requires large downloads also fwiw if not doing all modes.

Interesting seeing some people upset they have to play other modes to unlock this. Although, I understand if you dont want to play 1 or more other modes, I also understand that this camo might not be for you. Weekly participation camos are still available.

@trueyerbamate @Pirat_Nation Corporate malfeasance. Studios can’t skip console generations. Period. They studios needed buying out for a reason. See bungie

@HopMtn @Pirat_Nation the Bethesda is company who wants maximum money, not maximum making TES players happies. didn't make any business sense for the Bethesda to release six when five still makes so much money. I know much players say "NO IT WOULD BE SMART BUSINESS MOVE" but this is fantasy.

New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma reportedly wants Fallout and Elder Scrolls games released faster as Bethesda reaches 8 years since The Elder Scrolls VI reveal. Xbox executive Matt Booty recently said he has seen the game and that it “looks amazing” and is “coming along well.” However, he said Microsoft wants to reveal more when the time is right.

@GameGPU_com 30Fps ? 1080p? 🤡

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/v… Between June 22 and 30, Valve will announce retail prices and open preorders for the Steam Machine and Steam Frame systems. Journalists have already received initial test samples. Included with the console is a Steam Controller gamepad and two mounting brackets. Reviewers additionally received interchangeable faceplates, although their presence within the final retail version currently remains completely unknown. The hardware guarantees 30 fps at 1080p, preserving an operating temperature around 80°C, with costs expected near $499. A 100% honest review embargo drops on June 23, hinting at a rapid release. #Valve #SteamMachine #SteamFrame #Console #Preorder #Gaming #Review

God of War Laufey like/dislike ration on the trailer is 92% positive🚀

@GregMathews1 @RetroGameCorps Thanks

@HopMtn I used @RetroGameCorps videos to set up both this one and my Retroid Pocket 6. He has device-specific videos for lots of things, and also really good general videos on how to set up any android-based retro handheld. youtu.be/4BX0kmN3V-8?is…

Visiting family this weekend & my Retroid Pocket Classic is the perfect travel companion! 🚂 Tailored mine to be Sega-exclusive with hundreds of Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive, Mega CD, 32X & Saturn games🕹️ Impossible to get bored on long journeys!😎 #SEGA #SegaSaturday

@Chris_J_Harding XBOX would perform better with a clean “independent” break from MS/Satya/board. This would forcibly improve “windows” more than slotting thru versions with AI amd shovelware features and new laptop ai keys. XB/Win would be co-dependent unlike now.

If MS is considering spinning out Xbox, then why would they be investing in to Windows Xbox mode, PC technology from Xbox. Or are idiots going to argue they don't want windows to be where the world plays or that Windows will become part of Xbox. Like use your brains people🤷

@trsrpc Nope. Not every gamer wants to be indoctrinated. The steam comments on x remind me of the iPhone sjobs zombies waiting in lines for phones way back 🤡

Leaving Steam for the Xbox App should be a litmus test for how bad someone's decision-making skills really are 😂

@trentreed27 lol. Not even close. if Sony changed to the Xbox design their fanatics would replace all their ps controllers

I’ve always thought the Xbox controller looked better and felt better than the PlayStation controller. Do people really prefer the PlayStation controller? #Xbox #Playstation

@Nades No chance. It’s the gateway for cheap consoles and subs from PC

Feel free to send me death threats for this… But I have a gut feeling that Xbox are gonna slowly kill off GamePass in the coming years.

@Arisuta28 Price is fine. It just needs more consoles to be able to play in. More subs. It needs to come to PC with complete console game parity. There needs to be a cheaper series S and a Roku like device for gamepass only as Phil & co teased & killed.

Gamepass needs to evolve. I love Gamepass, and the day 1 games but I do feel it’s time for an evolution. Make Gamepass customizable so people can choose what they want at the price point they want. Want day 1 games releases? Prepare to pay premium. Want Ubisoft and EA? Cool—

@Nick_Marseil Nope

I'm starting to see parallels between Phil Spencer and Asha Sharma. Remember when Phil took over in 2013 and immediately gained everybody's trust with radical changes? Rings a bell 🔔

@superhys Blah clickbait

Chatted with IGN about the whole XBO ... Xbox thing. I was pretty candid. Some of my comments from the article: "You can't tell tens of millions of console loyalists 'the box is dead, move to Windows' overnight without torching the goodwill you just spent 100 days rebuilding – or potentially pissing off 25-year fans. So, Xbox is still shipping hardware and keeping some smaller exclusives to keep the core warm, but the actual centre of gravity is quietly sliding to PC, mobile, and cloud. Helix being half-console, half-PC is that compromise made physical. The word 'Helix' is most commonly known from biology, to describe human DNA, where two intertwined, spiral strands form a twisted ladder. It’s literally in the name – Xbox is converging console and PC." ''On layoffs, the studios most exposed are the ones that are brilliant for prestige and rotten for the spreadsheet. The Double Fines and Ninja Theories of the portfolio – beloved, talent-dense, critically adored, and small – are on the chopping block. They’re wonderful for hearts and minds, but hard to defend in a margin review." "I'm genuinely worried about that tier of studio given the rhetoric in the memo," Elliott said, of Xbox's smaller development teams. "They were acquired in an era of growth-at-all-costs, and that era is explicitly what this memo is unwinding. And again, it’s not new, either. In 2024, Xbox shut Tango Gameworks, fresh off Hi-Fi Rush, and closed Arkane Austin too. Those studios were prestige-rich, talent-dense, modest on the balance sheet. The memo's 'we expanded the studio system... [and] found ourselves over extended' is the same logic that ended Tango under Booty and Spencer." "There's a messier possibility worth naming," Elliott concludes, "that the confident language and candour are masking real strategic uncertainty. The clearest evidence is the contradiction sitting inside the comms – choosing to forgo revenue by pulling games off the biggest install base one week, then lamenting that revenue is too low in the same breath. When you talk out of both sides of your mouth, trust starts to dissolve. The Spencer era had that habit, and the Xbox of new reads like a continuation of it, now with employees being gently primed for another round of layoffs a few months after Booty said: 'To be clear, there are no organisational changes underway for our studios.’ I also note that Xbox said there would be no layoffs after the Activision Blizzard acquisition. There were a lot of layoffs.'' "A healthy Xbox is good for all of us, competition included, and they're saying a lot of the right things. The candour is real and their diagnosis of the problems are mostly correct. But there’s no easy cure. Trying to be simultaneously the world's largest game publisher and a first-party hardware platform, at a 5x component premium, with a first-party slate that can't yet carry exclusivity on its own – that's the bit I can't make add up."

@JezCorden Fix this app and MOVe all games from steam to the app is such a win it’s not even funny. Stop pandering to steam and Sony and fix the biggest market (pc). Biz 101

The Xbox PC app still has a ton of responsiveness issues. On Xbox Ally when it wakes from sleep / closes a game, sometimes takes several minutes to start becoming responsive again. On Xbox PC, sometimes when closing a game, it just decides that it's no longer going to detect inputs anymore. I'm not sure if there's something fundamentally flawed with the codebase or something but you never get these kinda issues on Steam. Steam is the bar Xbox PC needs to hit. I'm someone who does a ton of gaming on Xbox PC but it's impossible to recommend when Steam is literally sitting right there.

@DaReelSebas @NextGenPlayer Pc is fine if only via Xbox store. steam has to stop asap. Zero Microsoft owned games should be there

@NextGenPlayer If they really want people to pick up an Xbox, they need to stop releasing on PC.

"It has become difficult to articulate why you should pick an Xbox console" - Xbox CSO Matthew Ball ▶️ windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/it…

@Senninsage Let it go. Phil was a likable gamer but let the inmates (studio workers) run the asylum (Xbox studios)

I am going to laugh my ass off when the first quarterly reports for a new fiscal year comes in showing revenue up after the games and decisions that Phil and Sarah were a significant part of setting up actually release and play themselves out. Eager to see the messaging then.
