Oh shit, I had completely missed that announcement. Excited to see more!

Jays fan here… I’ve been fine the rest of the series but tonight I am extremely not.

These companies sure do have a different definition of what it means to let end users opt out than I do.

If I have to go in and manually switch the resolution each time I load up a new video as it looks like from that article, I don't really consider that a proper opt-out.

There are labelers and block lists and such that are user controlled so it's probably that. People can subscribe to those lists and have people with those labels muted or blocked if they wish, but it's not a thing being done by the platform itself.

That's not even the worst one I've seen *him* doing. He's also in ads for one of the sports betting apps.

As somebody who has all three current consoles, I fully acknowledge that’s weird.

Somehow there is simultaneously both everything and nothing happening at the same time.

I feel like a few years ago there was a two week or so span where it seemed like the genre might take off and I assume these are all projects that were greenlit during that time and are just now coming out because game development takes forever.

It makes every day better. I was listening to it on my drive to the office today and my vinyl copy is currently out for delivery.

Yeah, it really feels like Microsoft desperately wants out of the console business at this point.

I think they’ll still make a new living room box that’s essentially just going to be this Ally thing but in box instead of handheld form.

I’ve been primarily an Xbox player for over 20 years now and this is ultimately what’s driving me away.

It feels like they’re fully focused on Windows as the future of their ecosystem and I buy consoles specifically because I have zero patience for any of this when I sit down to play games.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only person that has an unopened can of Sunset Overdrive promotional drink.

Oh, I should book mine. Thanks for the reminder!

Yeah, I remember looking at that device at one point because it also supports PS5 remote play and I own both consoles but it's $400 here in Canada and I just couldn't pull the trigger at that high of a cost.

That's correct! The only way to play Xbox console games is via streaming or remote play. Only Windows PC games run natively.

The fact that you're not the first person I've seen have this revelation today, the day before it releases, tells me they did a great job at marketing this thing!

A couple of years ago, during a multi-day internet outage, I played through the entirety of the Xbox 360 game based on the television show Prison Break.

Not the worst game I've ever played but undoubtedly the worst game I've ever finished.

As a life long Blue Jays fan, I've seen a few games that were more fun.

I’m not going to argue against that statement 🤣

I’ve been a pro wrestling fan my entire life, which I long ago embraced is often profoundly stupid even when it’s great and is the hottest of garbage when it’s bad.

Even as socially inept as I am, I'm confident I could come up with better than that (and in way less than three days).

I grew up just outside of Toronto so as long as the Blue Jays are still alive, that's who I'm cheering for but if it's not them, I'll definitely be pulling for Seattle. Love that city. Used to take a trip there annually.

I like that I immediately knew what this was about.

Oh no... I shouldn't have read that thread. I don't need to spend more money on video games right now 🤣

Oh dear, I hope they've made that more friendly in the remake because it's cool that it has that kind of depth but I don't know if I have the patience for that at this point in my life.

There's a reason I play all of my games on easy these days 😆

I've never played it or really any FF game but I've enjoyed some tactics games in my time and the way people are talking about it is making me kind of interested.

I'm completely out on UFC these days after previously being a major fan but I do still absolutely want to see that one. It looks really good.

Not sure yet if it's coming to my local theatre or not.

Congrats! That game looks really cool!

After looking at that list, I find myself very curious why Mario Party 2 is ok but 1 & 3 seemingly aren’t.

I have so many questions

I just lost my sweet little buddy a few days ago so this really hits home right now. Hope everything comes back clean and she's ok!!
