Microsoft says you build next-gen Xbox games by building them for PC. My colleagues @seanhollister.bsky.social + @jaypeters.net are in line for Xbox GDC keynote, but look at what they spotted. "Next-gen game preservation" and building for PC for next-gen consoles 👀 www.theverge.com/news/893196/...

Xbox could build the best console in the world, at the most competitive price available; the trajectory of the Xbox ecosystem won't change for the better if you don't start to rebuild your brand identity by offering experiences & games you have only on Xbox (Console, Cloud, PC).

Are ya worried about the price of RAM and what it means for video games? Do you fondly remember when console prices used to go down over time, not up? Are you nostalgic for physical video games and midnight launches? Does Fortnite just leave you kinda confused? Well, here's what I think...

People often compare Netflix and Game Pass but they’re fundamentally different. Netflix doesn’t usually sell shows as a stand alone purchases, but Xbox does that with their games. Netflix puts their service everywhere, while Xbox only sells their games everywhere and Game Pass is exclusive.

I still can't get over the surreal experience of watching Trump effectively telling all our generals he is going to order them to kill American citizens in my city in a speech that he also stopped midway through to spend 5 minutes explaining how he is so smart for walks down stairs slowly.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

I think my favourite thing about Blue Prince is that it starts out as game where you walk around thinking “hmm, I wonder if this thing is some kind of puzzle” and slowly, gradually becomes a game where you walk around thinking “hmm, I wonder if this thing ISN’T some kind of puzzle”
