@greeneking are you trying to make your disabled toilet in the Golden Fleece, E7 a rave or an epileptic nightmare?

It's now been over a year since @Barclaycard stopped contactless payments on Android. I've been waiting patiently but still no sign of Google pay support. What's going on?

@NandosUK what happened to the Nandinos chicken wings? It's the only thing my kids will eat and it's disappeared from the menu. Now it's just a choice of chicken breast or chicken breast in pitta?!?!?

@tomwarren Interesting question. $32 for 1Gb a month UK. I wonder what the price discrepancy is across the country.

this got me thinking, how much do you pay for your internet (converted to US dollars), how fast, and what country? I'm paying $44 per month for 1Gbps up / down in the UK

@JezCorden @AMcCarthy83 Helldivers 2 is a live service game, so it makes sense to bring it to Xbox once the playerbase reaches a certain low. Maybe as early as this time next year. Right now though the game is struggling to handle the players it has so it won't be any time soon.

@AMcCarthy83 might've speculated, I highly doubt it'll come to Xbox, but who knows?

Helldivers 2 isn't coming to Xbox, but this new Halo Forge project "Helljumpers" might be the next best thing. You'll want to read this: windowscentral.com/gaming/helldiv… #HaloInfinite #Helldivers2 #Steam #Xbox

@Florian4Gamers You know it wasn't until you said it I realised just how pointless caps lock is. Premium location on the keyboard too.

An AI key makes sense now that AI is so ubiquitous. If only they could make it easy to disable the annoying Caps Lock key hardly anyone needs anymore. On my HP Firefly I can't even get rid of it with the RegEdit sequence that used to work on all of my previous computers.

@tomwarren Sorry, 'that was a technical error' falls right next to 'it's not a bug, it's a feature' in my book.

Ubisoft started showing a fullscreen pop-up ad during the middle of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey gameplay this week. Ubisoft tells The Verge it was a "technical error." Full details here: theverge.com/2023/11/24/239…

@danimartms I never was any good at this game

Show a gif of a game that came out when you were ten years old.

@JamieMoranUK Love how it feels so familiar, like how I remember it rather than how it actually was. That's the sign of a quality remake.

Good to see way more people playing #DeadSpaceRemake (It’s on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate) They really elevated what worked in the original. An absolute must play for any Sci Fi and/or Horror Game fan. Incredible Game From XboxSeriesX

@Florian4Gamers @zackritchey Let's put our crazy hat on for a second. A forced divestiture happens. What can MS/ABK do about it, and how enforceable is it with a global company supported by the rest of the world?

@zackritchey Two different things here: the appeal of the denial of a preliminary injunction, which is really pointless now, yet ongoing; and the FTC's in-house proceedings, where a trial could focus on the possibility of a forced divestiture (undoing the merger), which isn't gonna happen.

The 9th Circuit is going to treat the FTC fairly, but the appellate judges presumably won't like the fact that the FTC wants a hearing and a decision even though the merger has already been consummated. There are better ways to use a busy court's time.

I just backed Old School Gamer - Our 7th Year! - Retro Gaming & Computing on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/ryanb…

@Xbox_Series_XS @CMAgovUK My thoughts...

Breaking! Microsoft’s Tweaks to $69 Billion Activision Deal Avoid EU Probe ✅️ EU doesn’t see concerns with changes aimed at winning UK nod ✅️UK merger regulator’s approval is expected in coming days @CMAgovUK the world is now waiting on you... bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Well now just the good old CMA to approve.

@tomwarren But can you play xcloud using the Quest's controllers or do you have to use the Xbox controller as shown in the trailer?

Meta’s new Quest 3 VR headset can access Xbox games through Xbox Cloud Gaming streaming

Guessing MS have had this Job Description on ice for several months now. Finally time to step things up a gear. #abk

@tomwarren Is the Elite controller dead? No mention of an Elite Series 3 on the roadmap from what I can see.

This is Microsoft’s new disc-less Xbox Series X design with a new controller. This refreshed Xbox Series X will launch next November, complete with a front USB-C port, 2TB of storage, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2 support. Full details here: theverge.com/2023/9/19/2388…

I personally think that the majority of these Nintendo Directs and State of Plays would be better if they just didn't exist. Just drop a random trailer/announcement on us once/twice a week and I think people would be more satisfied. People go into these types of events with too many expectations and are always seemingly disappointed. What do you think?

@HideoCraigjima I was so disappointed by Redfall, the reveal trailer had me hyped! Then the reviews came out and I was bummed. I uninstalled it before even playing it. I'll wait and see if it gets any updates. But with so many good titles out this year, I can't afford to waste my time with it.

When Xbox guys say they're enjoying Starfield, they actually are, despite what a handful of reviewers say. It's not cap or damage control. It's actually a good game. You know they're not being disingenuous because when Redfall released, most of them voiced their disappointment.

@FOSSpatents But wasn't one of the FTC's arguments that gamers would abandon Sony for Xbox, surely this Metro reader is just an anomaly.

One of those "reader's features" by Metro UK: metro.co.uk/2023/07/23/im-… So that PS fan is not interested in ABK games, would rather have Starfield, and says he's not going to spend another $500. But he chose PS because of Sony's exclusive deals and is now disappointed. 🧵1/3
