Like a fart in the wind

  • When I was young I was bullied every single day. For the longest time It bothered me. Then one day something changed, I stopped caring. People would throw out insults and jokes and I just dissociate myself. I’d hear it and if it was at all funny I’d laugh. After about a month I was entirely left alone. Those people were never nice to me and never showed me respect. But the fact they got 0 rise at me meant they got bored.

    So I’d suggest to anyone to not take whatever personally and just shrug it off. Eventually in my experience it stops !

    I will say this may not work for everyone. And for some this may just escalate to even more horrible things. But it might be worth a shot ? And obviously change course if things go south ..

  • Considering waiting to see if Motorola releases a GrapheneOs built in Razr I’d consider that. But can’t help but wonder how much they would mess up the core important pieces of Graphene for their overlords who wants AI down our throat

  • I’m about to do the same … question is without the google services is it worth a pro over even an a ?

    What they provided was payment info.

  • There is more than just that when it comes to PC games

    System requirements: RAM , CPU clock speed , GPU. And even if your requirements match there is no guarantee the game will work well. MW 2019 has stutters on my machine. No explanation to why ! I can play Indiana Jones at High settings no problem.

  • Let’s agree to disagree then.

    It’s not a like for like experience no matter how you slice it.

    I know this is going out to an audience who regularly self hosts and runs Linux.

    But not everyone has the same technical skill level and the experiences are not ideal for everyone.

  • But which side ? Right or left ?

  • Consoles aren’t going anywhere. I understand this crowd isn’t going to understand why. As half of you this morning for funsies decided to self host an instance of a discord clone on a toaster you found on the side of the road. Using Arch Linux of course !!

    But the majority of people that aren’t on here the majority of people you know Microsoft is actually salivating to take money from aren’t. And I can tell from Xbox one to Kinnect those are the people they want !!

    Steam deck over its 4 years has sold roughly around 5 million world wide. Switch 2 in less than a year has sold nearly 17 million !

    The goal of this “new” Xbox is to get Windows for more normies into their living room. And Microsoft going to recoup share they lost overtime to smartphones and others. And to me I don’t see that working like at all …

    Xbox is dead as a platform and this new strategy will be dead on arrival.

  • I’m not sure if you understand the point of my post. Yes PC is not just Windows. But the whole point of this product will be the “Xbox experience” which is installed on WINDOWS. Sure you can buy this box and then just install Bazzite or whatever. But why wait for this “box” to do it ? Just build a custom PC which is guaranteed to be better value and something you can do right now ?

    I’m not attacking PC gaming. I love PC gaming. But this is in the context of an dedicated gaming console. Which for Xbox is going away.

    My point is I see little value in the move. My point is I believe it’s the wrong approach. Valves approach with their baked in software is much better.

  • I wouldn’t worry to much about that. Microsoft can build out additional emulation to support those games. Now how much of they can pull from what’s been done with Xbox One / Series that remains unclear.

    They can always “borrow” from the foss community and just use their emulators.

    I wouldn’t expect the same upgrades you saw with the old back compat catalogue. But hopefully it’s as functional as it was on its OG hardware.

    But whatever they do I know the community will be able to improve upon for the whole PC space to utilize without needing to pay Shitsoft for it …

  • Your thinking about this to literally with the name “Xbox” which is a part of my concern. Modern traditional consoles use customized hardware , usually offshoots of existing PC parts. They run by custom firmware and software that makes them purpose built devices. Xbox’s to this point had a kernel level Windows implementation with most of what we hate about windows left out.

    With this new “Xbox” your getting a Windows PC. There is no “sideloading”. You just close the Xbox interface and install Steam. Your “Xbox” games will just be windows games. And if your OG xbox games play , it will be through emulation.

    If this sounds exciting to you, great. But you don’t have to wait for Microsoft to release anything. You can go buy or build your own gaming PC right now and get all the same things !

  • If this is what people truly wanted steam Decks would of sold over 30 million or so. They’ve sold around 5 million.

    There is a place for dedicated game consoles. If there wasn’t the Nintendo Switch wouldn’t have sold 150 million units ..

  • You’re not missing much bud ..

  • Microsoft was already releasing games on PC. All this does is removes any dedicated hardware. Officially forcing windows down Xbox gamers throats. One less option in the space not really one more.

    Windows is not the future for gaming. Windows shouldn’t be anyone’s future

  • Death of the “platform” as in dedicated hardware designed purely to play games.

    Going forward “Xbox” games will just be Windows games.

    So yes by my definition, it’s dead as dead as Elvis …
