I've had a cough for 20 days now. I hate it.

Death Stranding Director's Cut is $19.99 on XBL https://buff.ly/4hT8LYm also on PS+ Extra

@dmc-ryan.bsky.social I saw you got a new Tesla Model 3 Highland. Do you still have a Cybertruck reservation and/or are you still planning to get one?

Car listings using their finger to cover the license plate are hilarious. You literally drive around with your plate visible all the time.

Isn't the easy fix to this to do what Halo The Master Chief Collection did and just let users turn off player customization in the options so when they play everyone is a soldier like OG for their game if they so choose? cc: @xbox.com @xboxp3.bsky.social

Reacher s3 and Invincible s3 starting off strong. Reacher is just so good.

Yeeeees

Let's go. Please be 3 remake day one game pass.

I saw Captain America Brave New World last night. I enjoyed it but it wasn't great. I wish they hadn't spoiled red hulk in the marketing and there was some pretty obvious green screen reshoots. The Leader's makeup design was also just off. Harrison Ford has a lot of depth as Ross. 6.5/10 for me.

Ordered a pair of over-ear headphones to use for work and when I travel. Interested to see if I like them. I like my buds but I can't wear them for really long stretches without my ears getting sore.

The USA cannot produce every product and commodity ever conceived. These tariffs are stupid. Here comes massive inflation and suffering for us all.

I don’t think the checks and balances system I learned about in history class is working right bow.

I've been pretty successfully playing Xbox Cloud on 5G while riding in the third row of a Jeep Wagoneer L but the usb-c ports don't give enough juice to charge a laptop or my ROG Ally.

This is hilariously ironic after Christopher Nolan (played by a body double) was sort of in The Franchise on HBO which starred Patel

What did they expect a side scrolling metroidvania to sell? That seems like a healthy sales number for this genre of game. It's an amazing game. I 100%'d it and loved it.

I just realized 33 Immortals and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are two different games. How is it possible that two games picked that same number in their title and release this close together...

My PC has 6 case fans with all the RGB running off the same header. I would love to move the AIO and exhaust fans to a different header but that requires me to remove the AIO to reach the 2nd header and it's a whole thing...

I hope so too. I'll keep buying xbox's as long as they are powerful, elegant machines. Everything since Xbox One S has been great.

Glad I don't drink ☕

Anyone an expert in coffee futures and prices, that could comment on the impact of a 25 PCT tariff on Columbia on the price of coffee for American consumers ?

If Xbox wants to publish their games everywhere it's fine with me but please double down on Xbox Play Anywhere and keep making good hardware. The fear everyone really has is a lack of exclusives leading to less and less hardware sales until hardware either dies or just isn't good anymore.

Am I the only non-Chiefs fan who is actually enjoying this Chiefs dynasty? It's fun to see the greatest player of all time in his prime. Even more fun to hope Brady gets taken down a notch. Maybe I'm just not as motivated to hate them because my team hasn't made the playoffs since Obama's first term

we are so back

Doom The Dark Ages looks sick

I'm excited to see what the @xbox.com surprise game is at the #DeveloperDirect today. They usually also always have a small item that isn't on the promo sheets. Last year they just dropped Hi-Fi Rush into our laps live so anything goes.

The downside to waiting for the Switch 2 and ROG Ally 2 to come out later this year is I'm going on a long trip soon and I don't have a handheld to game during travel and my laptop is a little unwieldy.

The “A” in DEIA stands for accessibility. Federal workers with disabilities, including many veterans, deserve respect and the opportunity to work in public service. A diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible workplace makes public service better and makes everyone’s lives better.

Here is a crazy idea. What if we all try to put ourselves in the place of others and imagine the best? Where did empathy go? Don't let politicians demonize the "others" as the boogie man. Most people are just trying to make a living and survive.

I've been sick in bed for 3 days and I can't look at my phone without a horribly depressing thing being on my screen.

I don't know how anyone can look at any of the executive orders Trump signed yesterday and think they help anyone but the wealthy or are just silly wastes of time. Raising drug prices? Renaming a body of water outside our borders? Anyone cheering is a bad person or willfully naive.

I did not buy a Nintendo Wii U I did not buy a Nintendo Switch I did not buy a Nintendo Switch OLED I said if they had backwards compatibility I would buy a Switch 2 day one and play the hits I missed. Genuinely pleased to see bigger screen and more subtle colors.

I didn't even know this existed. The name is just so generic and forgettable. If I saw any marketing for it it immediately slipped my mind.

Alright, well, video games. With 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico on the way, I can see a sharp downtick in the number of disc-based games that get released physically in the US, as much of that production infrastructure is in Mexico. If they do get made, I expect higher prices both phys & dig.

Balatro has sold 5 million units (previously 3.5 million on Dec 11)

DC hotels still have capacity. Top restaurants are still taking reservations. Popular bars aren’t extending their hours. Yeah… starting to think cold wasn’t the reason why they moved the inauguration inside lol

oh no

At least they tried to give closure to the story and add an offline mode to do right by those that do enjoy the game. Everyone knew the JL wasn't dead. This whole project was ill advised and the dlc character choices were not helpful.

This is a really helpful summary.

What an embarrassment www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

My wife got laid off today via email...

We don't talk about... 1. Bruno 2. Fight Club

It looks like it might have steering wheel stalks which was the only thing I didn't like about the model 3 refresh.

Rather than address real problems with affordability, healthcare or jobs we get a bunch of yahoos trying to invade Canada, Greenland, Panama and the Gulf of Mexico for some reason simultaneously not understanding what a trade deficit or tariff are. We are truly living Idiocracy.

I can wait. Get it right.
