  • Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up]

    Jump

  • At one time XBOX fanbase were so desperate to play games like Halo and Gears of War that they were wrapping their dead XBOX 360 in a towel and putting it in an oven to resurrect it. That sounds so insane but it actually happened. Fast forward to now, Microsoft has raised hardware prices twice since May and now raising price of their game pass by 50%. Clearly they're no longer interested in increasing XBOX market share or even retaining it. They've pivoted their strategy to milk their current XBOX fans as much money as they can until the brand is completely dead.

  • Inspired by another pic on here, finally figured out the astrophotography mode on my phone camera - 5min exposure in rural Wales

  • Very nice! Suddenly I feel very... small.

  • Unbelievable. Our bed for a three day river tour in Borneo to see the orangatans.

    Jump

  • That's not a bed. That's a buffet table for mosquitos.

  • People keep saying $32k was stolen by malware. No, that did not happen. Malware did not reach into someone's bank account and withdrew $32k. Here is a simple fact. Crypto is not money. If your brain says something like "it works just like money, or it's worth just as much as money so it's basically money" then you're most likely to get scammed at sometime in the future by putting your actual real money into crypto. It's that simple.

  • Xbox consoles are getting a price increase. Again.

    Jump

  • Microsoft spent billions on XBOX brand over over the past 23+ years but seems like they're just done with it. They must know raising the price for the second time will be a final nail in the XBOX coffin. Is there a plan for a next XBOX? Does it even make sense to make the next XBOX? Is there even a reason for anyone to buy the next XBOX? Currently Microsoft's marketing message is basically just spend $400 to $800 on a hardware and then pay $10 to $20 monthly ($120 to $240 a year) indefinitely for access to games but if you stop paying the monthly fee, you have an expensive paperweight because you own nothing. Oh and game pass price could go up at anytime over the lifespan of the console.

  • NVIDIA are investing $5 billion in Intel to develop new chips together

    Jump

  • I think this means Intel's Arc GPUs are dead. $5 Billion seems like a small price to pay for NVIDIA to remove a potential future competitor off the market.

  • Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing

    Jump

  • I was watching a streamer playing this game on AMD 9800X3D with RTX 5090 GPU on 1440p and was barely able to get 100 fps. All the settings were on medium with DLSS Balanced turned on. This game is definitely not optimized.

  • 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you'

    Jump

  • I was planning on picking up B4 when the GOTY edition goes on sale for $20-30 couple years from now. I figured performance issues will be solved by then. Now I think I'll pass.

  • Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’

    Jump

  • We really need to change the mindset about what the internet experience should be. I think everyone got too used to the idea of centralized services like Google search, Github, Discord, Twitter, reddit, and etc. and that didn't turn out well. We need to go back to federated protocol based system instead. Let's go back to the decentralized federated architecture of email, web, irc where no one corporate entity is the sole owner of said service. I think Lemmy and Mastodon are good start but we have to start replace things like Google search, Github, and Discord with decentralized counterparts. We have to learn from our past mistakes and start reconstructing a better internet infrastructure one piece at a time. It will take lot of effort and patience but it's really the only way out of the mess we put ourselves into by being addicted to simplicity of centralized corporate controlled systems.

  • Xbox fans are compiling lists of all the Activision, Bethesda, and Microsoft games still missing from Xbox Game Pass — and it's pretty huge

    Jump

  • Game pass business model needs to fail because if it succeed we'll be buried in post capitalism dystopian reality where we don't own anything.

  • Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs

    Jump

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed

    Jump

  • Yeah. Similar sentiment here. For me, spending $20 is my special way of flipping the bird at Nintendo and every other greedy AAA studios for wanting to jack up the price of games.

  • ‘Escape From Tarkov’ Coming To Steam In the Coming Weeks

    Jump

  • Extraction shooter market is getting crowded quick. It's probably wise move by Tarkov devs to bank some money before Arc Raiders comes out on October 30th. I have a feeling Arc Raiders just might dominate the extraction shooter market for broad general audience. I'm sure more hardcore extraction shooter fans will stick with Tarkov but I don't see Tarkov will appeal to the masses. I hear developers of The Division might be working on an extraction shooter too. It's quite ironic since they accidentally stumbled onto the extraction shooter idea and just now figured out there may be a demand for the genre. There is Marathon but I have no idea what's going on with that game. I'm not sure if Bungie or Sony knows what will happen to that game.

  • Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form]

    Jump

  • What a disappointing week. I was looking to replace my five year old iPhone with an android phone and now I'm just stumped. Pixel 10 looked pretty good but then this sudden verification requirement news hit. Both platform are now equally crap. The hell with both of these shitty companies. Maybe I'll go full retro and get a dumb phone instead.

  • Nintendo Switch 2 game-key cards not eligible for preservation by Japan’s National Diet Library, officials say

    Jump

  • If game developers don't think their product is valuable enough to be preserved, why should I think it's worth money and buy it?

  • Change your profile to Clippy (call to action)

    Jump

  • This sort of thing is reason why I stopped paying attention to Louis Rossman. I guess when someone lives inside a social media bubble for so long their reality gets warped enough to think changing a profile picture is the way to make a difference in the world.

  • OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models

    Jump

  • Sam Altman has gone into PR and hype overdrive lately. He is practically everywhere trying to distract the media from seeing the truth about LLM. GPT-5 has basically proved that we've hit a wall and the belief that LLM will just scale linearly with amount of training data is false. He knows AI bubble is bursting and he is scared.

  • To land Meta’s massive $10 billion data center, Louisiana pulled out all the stops. Will it be worth it?

  • Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming Division

    Jump

  • I remember the exact moment when death of XBOX console basically started. It was XBOX One announcement where Don Mattrick messed up the rollout so bad no one knew how their always online DRM system worked. Sony made this video in response. Also there is this disaster of an interview where he said gamers should buy XBOX 360 if you can't be online 24/7. Microsoft basically took it for granted that gamers were in their pocket and they could focus on dominating the livingroom by adding tv related features that gamers didn't care about. Also Kinect was initially mandatory which made the console $100 more than PS4. XBOX lost console marketshare and they never recovered since then.
