Yeah as much as I dislike the business model of microtransactions in modern games, and fortnite is the most popular and blatant example, they’re also pretty much the gold standard in how it should be done.

I’m pretty emotionally ambivalent towards it. I both dislike and respect it at the same time.

That’s where I am with the Xbox. I’m pretty happy with it and don’t want to switch over, but the massive digital catalogue I’ve accrued would make me really hesitant if they start shitting it up.

Sewage systems are the big one I think.

I corrected my mistake and am still getting told about it. The most innocuous of mistakes in one of the lowest stakes locations and topics available.

I meant they because it wasn’t specified in the headline, but you can’t win them all.

As kids we had a few “must have been ghosts” experiences.

Me and my brother both woke up at the same time because we heard our mom shout on us from downstairs. We got up to see what she wanted but she wasn’t there. Went back upstairs into her bedroom and she was asleep.

Our bedroom TV once turned itself on in the night, loud static channel. It was unplugged before we went to bed and didn’t have a remote control.

“Must have been aliens” one. Was watching an airplanes blinking light in the sky flying along. It stopped moving and kept blinking for about 5 seconds. Then shone really bright and shot towards the horizon in about a second. This was about 15 years ago and nobody believes me. I still don’t have an explanation for it. I assumed it was brand new military tech but I still haven’t heard of anything that can move that fast.

If he’s¹ on the case like properly I’ll be a happy camper. There’s been a couple of actually enjoyable mobile games from netflix.

Absolutely, I keep idly thinking about it and universal basic income seems to be the only way we can maintain order, but it’s obviously never going to happen.

This is gonna get worse before it gets better.

I’m the opposite, I don’t give a monkeys about the story but I like the loot goblining.

That said a borderlands came on the gamepass the other week and I was so excited to lure my boy into co-op with me for the first time in ages. It wouldn’t stop crashing. I googled it to see if they were aware and all I could find was the company sucking it’s own dick about having already released the final patch to stop it crashing so many times. I wouldn’t say I’m thrilled about the idea of dropping $80 on a day one release.

Feels weird to be talking about next gen Xbox already, feels like we only just getting the supply issues of the Series sorted.

Imagine having so much wealth and power and still throwing hissy fits on social media.

Me too, I think that’s how they get ya

As long as you’re not yumming people’s yuck. I will draw the line there I’m afraid.

I don’t think the advert space will be getting minimised at all

Ffs America you’re supposed to be setting the example here

Fable 4? Somehow that’s the only thing I’m really excited for.

So the cease fire was just to buy them time to get them all charged up?

Could you elaborate a little more? Like do those countries not allow subscription services or something?

Only reason i can think of with my rational, non-global-economic brain is that it’s got too much gory/sexual/political/whatever content that isn’t worth the effort censoring.

In their eyes we are overpopulated now that the machines are on the rise. There’s too many humans and not enough roles for us to fill. Humans are expensive to keep

That was a real fun time before the vote. It seemed like he was either going to become one of the most powerful men in the world OR spend life in jail.

It’s not fun now. Now it’s scary.
