They surrendered when they thought day one console buyers and people who liked gimmicky dance game peripherals were one and the same, and never really caught back up.

Since then they’ve been pushing Game Pass hard, but that mythical era where you’d just need a TV, internet and a gamepad just never arrived for them. Streaming games is probably fine for a lot of casual gamers, but the casual gamers are already on mobile and tend to spend very little on games. Far too little for Game Pass Ultimate to make sense for them.

And I’m really unconvinced that day one Game Pass games are sustainable. Even with their piss-poor output over the last few years.

I also don’t like that games are no longer going down much in price over time. It seems everyone is far too happy to leave things at launch price to make subscriptions and crap sales seem like better value.

Is “engagement” just weaselspeak for “advertisements”?

Jellyfin seems solid.

The only issues I’ve had are with dodgy media files. Obviously better player hardware gets you better performance, but transcoding eliminates some of those issues.

Sometimes.

They mostly make money though.

I do split tunnelling, so only the torrent stuff goes through the VPN.

Most of that was written hundreds of years later (and rewritten several times since), so who knows what was added later for religious control purposes.

He could have sat around all day stoned off his nut.

He definitely doesn’t know what deduplicated means…

That man will be doing to same thing to important shit right now.

At least until MS muddied the waters with “hibernate”.

THIS GAME WILL MAKE YOU CUM IN 30 SECONDS!

I hope not mate, I’m on the bus.

They’re all NFT based asset flips, aren’t they?

As predicted, here comes the Trumper Youth.

Watch him insist on it being run by Truth Social, and be filled with noisy cunt videos of immigrants being hilariously deported at gunpoint.

What about my GeForce 6600 GT?

Eye sphincter sounds weird though.

Even MS hasn’t dared to release a version of Windows you can’t switch out of “S mode” yet, but the fact that it even exists would be troubling for them.

MS would love a walled garden like Apple have made, but there’s no way in hell it would ever pan out for them, and certainly not before regulation arrives (probably from the EU) that would stamp it out, and that’s before you take into account the business implications. Windows only exists because of all the pre-existing software. Flattening the only reason to stay would be suicide.

Which doesn’t sound like much, but if you have applications designed for 1024x768 (which was pretty much the standard PC resolution for years) then at least it would fit on the screen.
