Unhandled Exception

@brian_armstrong Why didn't you have a skilled team of technical employees who could very easily fix an issue like total reliance on a single data zone? Oh that's right...

We experienced an outage at Coinbase last night, which is never acceptable. The root cause was a room overheating in an AWS datacenter when multiple chillers failed. We design our services to be redundant to downtime in any one AWS Availability Zone (AZ), and most of our systems worked this way last night, but not all. Our centralized exchange did not. Exchanges have unique architectures that optimize for latency and co-location of clients. It is possible to make exchanges resistant to AZ failures, but this can introduce latency delays that are not desirable along with breaking customer co-location. Given this incident, we'll revisit these tradeoffs to ensure we're giving you the best possible venue to trade. At a minimum, the duration of an outage should be able to be reduced considerably when an AZ move is needed. Thank you to the AWS and Coinbase teams for working through the night to mitigate the issue. We’ll share the detailed technical summary once it's ready.

Who made this 😭

@StarlightSkyes Avoid licensed music. It's the number 1 reason games becomes delisted. Be sure to release the game onto a DRM free platform (basically GOG or itch). This ensures you have a version that can remain playable with no reliance on servers or license checks.

I have a strange question gamedev friends. We've been having talks of game preservation for awhile. What can I do while building my game to make it easier for myself in the future for preservation? Any best practices? I don't even know where to begin

@lukecannon727 @coinbase Looks like the layoffs and AI pivot is working out really well for them

There has not been a BTC trade on @Coinbase in more than an hour The last 1 minute candle is from 75 minutes ago The orderbook is currently displaying prices hundreds of dollars above Binance & Hyperliquid My orders fail to go through on both web & mobile, both advanced & simple trading Guess those 14% of employees they just laid off might have been crucial?

Sony is partnering with Bandai Namco to explore Generative AI

I honestly think GSC does the best recap articles of any gaming website. Others are either too short, too long, or have the informative displayed poorly. GSC just nails this format.

@OfficialPCMR Brave is the way to go!

Maybe it's time for another browser? Here's how to get rid of it if you want to: reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace…

@majornelson Don't forget "My hot take..." and it's always followed by the opinion shared by 98% of the internet

It's all clogged with useless posts and/or videos that are AI generated or have one or more of the following: • Mano a pinolo (look it up) accentuating every third word • "I'm obssessed with...." • "My honest review" • Extremes in discussions or POV • Lacking basic decency Did I miss anything ? I'll go back and yell at the ☁️ now :)

Missing the quaintness of Social Media circa 2010. Simple fun obersvations and conversations.

@SpawnYaardReply 007 and Directive 8020 are both looking great to me!

What games releasing in May will you play? I think it's only 007 for me. Constance Subnautica 2 (EA) Mixtape Directive 8020 Outbound Forza Horizon 6 Lego Batman: LOTDK Starbites Realm of Ink 007 First Light

@tomwarren Now if they could just scrap it on Windows, everything would be great!

wow. Microsoft is scrapping Copilot on Xbox, just hours after a big Xbox platform reorg. Xbox Copilot on mobile is being killed off and development of Copilot on Xbox consoles is over theverge.com/games/924551/m…

@SpawnYaardReply Physical - Around 500 or so Digital - Around 2500 Used to have a lot more physical but had to clear a lot of stuff out after marriage lol

Gamers, how many games do you think you own? Like do you have a ball park number? I'm not gonna count but I have started owning from 2020 and at this point I'm looking at around 100 games across all platforms.

@IdleSloth84_ @benkenobi2020 Xbox needs to be more consumer-focused if they want to win back consumer trust. Don't think bringing in a bunch of AI bros is the way to achieve this considering the usual reaction to anything AI related.

Asha Sharma has overhauled parts of the Xbox leadership team “Right now, it is too hard to ship impact quickly. We spend too much time inward instead of with the community, and we lack the depth we need in some of the fundamentals” Xbox is “bringing in new leaders with consumer and technical expertise we do not yet have,” she wrote in the memo. Four of those leaders are coming from the CoreAI group, overlapping with Sharma. via CNBC cnbc.com/2026/05/05/mic…

@tomwarren From looking at the list of purple, it seems like "technical expertise" means a bunch of her buddies from the AI group.

big changes at Xbox today. Asha Sharma is bringing in more technical expertise and shaking up the Xbox platform teams, after the departure of Sarah Bond. Full details here 👇 theverge.com/news/923908/mi…

@shinobi602 Oh good, now we can expect to see terrible AI slop injected into every facet of Xbox.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma overhauls Xbox leadership with new executive team makeup: ▪️Jared Palmer | Former CoreAI VP of Product joins as VP of Engineering ▪️Tim Allen | Former CoreAI VP of Design joins to lead design ▪️Jonathan McKay | Former CoreAI Head of Growth joins to lead Xbox growth, data platform and analytics ▪️Evan Chaki | Former CoreAI General Manager joins to simplify dev and improving how Xbox operates theverge.com/news/923908/mi… #Xbox

@LarryBundyJr Dragon Age 2 was a massive downgrade in pretty much every area compared to Dragon Age Origins.

Can anyone think of any game sequels that were remarkably WORSE than the original? Usually the sequel is the original game perfected, and the third, while good, isn't quite as great as the second.

@Knucklebreak @SpawnYaardReply Great point. Especially on PC you can find a lot of cheap 3rd party stuff so that makes the price seem even higher (unless you actually take the time to consider the features)

@FtwKent @SpawnYaardReply You're right, I'd add that they are also looking at 3rd parties without context.

PS edge controller - $200 Xbox Elite controller - $200 Steam Pro Controller with more features than the other 2 is $100 and we still have people complaining it's expensive.

@SpawnYaardReply For the record I don't think the price is that bad, just my two cents on the backlash I've seen

@SpawnYaardReply I think the problem is two-fold 1) Average users are comparing the price against the cheaper base Xbox & PS controllers 2) Everyone hoping Valve is going to have aggressive pricing with this 2nd attempt on Steam Machines. But high controller price might mean high hardware price

To save Xbox, Asha Sharma doesn't have to defeat PlayStation or Steam — she has to defeat Microsoft itself. windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/to… I've been covering Xbox for over a decade, and the same cycle keeps coming up time and time again: Microsoft itself is Xbox's biggest enemy. And to save Xbox, Asha Sharma will need to convince CEO Satya Nadella that subsidizing their recent sprint of poor decisions will take more than one or even two fiscal years. More below 👇
