next generation I’m gonna get rid of my Xbox

man, i’m just as pissed as you, but you put it way better than i ever could have.

If you don’t want to play mainstream multiplayer games, it should be pretty painless for you! Obviously we don’t know yet what Valve will reveal, but if they announce a new “Steam Machine” that is basically a Steam Deck in desktop form, it should be pretty smooth! I hear there are some games that require some Linux finagling, but everything has guides online.

Sometimes you are in the cult of a cult classic, and so that game feels like one of the best ever. I will still come out and say the same about my old faves, like Guild Wars 1 or Phantom Dust. I exaggerate to express how good I think these games were!

That is the implicit message of the article.

lord, if only we lived in a world where things made sense…

i mean, if they have a Series X and it still runs all the modern games, there ain’t a strong reason to upgrade at exactly this moment. That console will keep chugging along for a few more years at least.

losing a pet is so hard, doubly-so when they’ve been by your side for over a decade. I don’t know if you’ve done anything to commemorate your buddy yet, but I highly recommend holding some kind of funeral or memorial if you haven’t already. Invite all your friends that knew Ralph well, share some tea and fond memories about him. Hug your friends and cry together. It won’t make you stop missing him, but it helps a lot more than you might think.

Right, exactly. We know from Dobbs that this doesn’t mean a future bench won’t reopen the issue, and this is why we need Supreme Court reform YESTERDAY! Term limits and independent ethics boards would be a fantastic start.

they don’t make disturbing kid’s content like they used to.

ehhh i hear you, “abandonware” can be defined as “software which is no longer supported or updated”, but that is a very broad definition. I think one could also define abandonware as “software which is no longer supported or updated, and which has no clear IP owner anymore”, and I think that that is the colloquial definition for a lot of people. I think we need a new word for one of these two definitions.

What do you love about it over something like, say, the standard Xbox controller? That’s what I use for PC and it’s been very reliable.

The rumor is that the next Xbox will also just be a gaming PC. If Microsoft has an offering similar to Valve, except it’s on Windows so there is better game compatibility, does that not entice you to stick with Xbox?

(tbc I’m not saying you should stick with Xbox - M$ is morally bankrupt and Windows 11 is a bloatware-ridden mess. Just inviting you to elaborate on your thinking, if you want to)

time to go buy an old cow-colored HP computer off ebay just to make it work!

dude 3D movie maker was my shit. Glad to find another former movie maker stan - I used to put entire evenings into making stupid little animations. That was the game that taught me what it feels like to be completely immersed in a creative project. McZee still haunts my nightmares, tho…

Say what you will about Schumer, he is also pissed that these Dems are breaking rank. In this moment, he understood what needed to be done.

EDIT: a lot of folks on Reddit are pointing out that Schumer is supposed to be the Senate leader, so he still deserves plenty of blame if he can’t keep his party whipped in line. The pattern of Senators that defected (all Senators that are not up for reelection in 2026) suggests that Schumer might have even encouraged this move behind closed doors. No hard evidence of that latter point, but there’s enough there to be rightly pissed at Schumer himself.

3D Movie Maker? Casino Inc? Theme Park?
