It's never too late to set up a separate Twitter account for your gaming obsessions.

I'm not keen on Xbox as a platform anymore, but if we get more devices that can bring PC games into the living room with a console-style experience and launcher that's a great thing. Price point, power, and how this will compare to the Steam Machine experience will be key.

@arkangeljoy No there is a separate Samus insured armor coating: Powersuit Hero.

Is that… a Samus inspired Rosie the Riveter skin????

Southern Reach series scratched an itch that had lingered since I had first read House of Leaves in high school. Really excited for Remedy to bring more of that into their universe!

i did not realise it was this bad…

Honestly, I'd probably buy this pack if: 1) I was still playing COD. 2) It wasn't inevitably going to disappear like all the other 'cross-title' skins that they wiped away before.

No cross-progression. No cross-play. No Switch 2 release. No PC Game Pass addition/Xbox Play Anywhere support. Oh! But we get more Battle Passes and monetized FOMO! Hate to see an outstanding MMO fall out of favor with its community under Microsoft's supervision.

@cinemafrances Are Criterion the bad guys now?

@TESOnline Is one of them cross-progression/cross-save?

So big update on this, here is the whole story: For months now, I started to randomly get a very odd glitch when I played Halo that made my game seem like it was in turbo mode. It was so weird and we couldn't pinpoint why it was happening. Then about 10 days ago my Xbox account started to glitch and not receive messages anymore. I tried to hard restart my box, clear cache, but nothing seemed to fix it. So I decided to just completely wipe my message backlog of 6-7 years. For whatever reason, clearing my messages made the UI of my Xbox Series X run at supersonic speed compared to before and also noticeably made the games run better. This was literally seen and proven in real time live on stream. Then that got me thinking, what else could I remove from my account that maybe could be slowing it down? So I removed my discord connection, then that also made me wonder...what if I also deleted all of my 1000+ friends on my account? Well I have the answer, I did that tonight on stream and it was the most bazaar thing we ever witnessed. Not only did it make my UI run even faster again, but more importantly... it actually completely changed the way my inputs were counting on Halo, how the aim felt, how smooth the game was, my shots were registering faster than before. In EVERY Halo game on MCC, not just one. Viewers even were saying it looked like a completely different game than I was playing before. So that got us thinking again...how could removing 1000+ friends be affecting how the game is registering inputs? Well the answer may be that your account info is tied to how inputs register to the server. The less data you have to carry with it the better since it will be faster. I instantly started feeling the difference compared to when I was playing hours just before, all because I deleted my friends. My zoom functions were feeling completely different/faster especially the light rifle in Halo 4, inputs were instantly registering faster than ever before, and there was no pause in the inputs when a lot were pressed. I don't know what all this means, but that is a major design flaw and a major issue if your account is tied to how good the game feels. Which also means...could your account also be affecting how the games feel on PC?! Since this is not a hardware based issue and it's how your account connects to the servers? Also after I deleted all my friends, I was able to have the start menu in MCC instantly pop up and exit faster than ever before during gameplay when normally there is a big pause lag. So somehow maybe the achievement data of friends is also weighing it down in game? The turbo glitch that I previously mentioned does not happen anymore either since clearing my account info. So how could deleting 1000+ friends change how inputs are registering in game and how the start menu is functioning? ...This problem has to be addressed at Xbox imo if this is how it works.

jetlag might not be why you feel awful after flying

@NeraVolpa @CeliaBedelia Lewis was famously not Catholic, much to the dismay of his friend Tolkien.

@STATEnotCITY @CeliaBedelia The sweet taste of sin. How very Catholic of Lewis. 😅

Found Turkish delights at the Wroclaw Christmas markets, & I was reminded of the time my daughter was desperate to try them after reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. She took one bite and said, with horror, “Edmund traded his soul to the White Witch for THAT!? ASLAN DIED FOR THAT!?”

@WakeBishop Yeah I still hop on every now and then. It feels like Left 4 Dead but Remedy which is fun.

Big question does anyone play FBC Firebreak anymore ? #FbcFirebreak #RemedyGames

@CeliaBedelia @NeraVolpa That's part of the beauty of it. Edmund didn't know how good real sweets could taste because of the rationing. Turkish Delight was likely the sweetest thing he'd ever had in his life. We are tempted to trade divine joys for the lesser pleasures of this Earth for the same reasons.

@NeraVolpa All I’m saying is that if my daughter hadn’t tasted sugar in months, she wouldn’t request Turkish Delight above all things after her disappointing sample tasting. 🤣
