You will own nothing and you will like it!

I still don't know if you're supposed to get the Xbox S or the X or the Series X or the Xbox Sweaty Sex or the fucking whatever. Death to the games industry.

the series s is cheap and portable, I knew someone who had one for that reason

[–] buh@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

normie zoomers in the US who just play CoD and NBA 2K seem to like it

Under-50 pre-boomers. They refer to all models as "xbox" in the same way boomers called all consoles Nintendos in the '90s.

Colecovision/Atari 2600 was worse.

Vectrex was kinda neat tho

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didn't that thing give you eye damage

What the heck is "eve darnage?!"

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

Gamepass is pretty legit ngl. Although I’m still on an original Xbox one

[–] Dzheyk@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

Wow, didn't realize Xbox was still being sold.

I'm guessing the software price increase will effect PC games, too. Granted, MS and all it's owned studios are on BDS - it'll probably just mean all big releases launch at $80-90

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just pirate at this point. I only buy games from studios I actually like such as Larian or Owlcat.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 3 points 20 hours ago

Yeah, I only buy indies now - shit, I can barely run the new AAAs

This and switch 2 announcement excellent was to increase steam deck popularity

[–] Eiren@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't forget that SteamOS is now coming to other handheld gaming PCs, too.

[–] goferking0 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oooooh I hadnt heard that.

Also thought top tier steam deck was closer to $1000 not $650.

Am wondering how long games will take to go on 50% or more off once they are starting at $80 :(

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Cheapest option is to get a refurb deck and put in a bigger SSD yourself

What's that, Microsoft? I can't hear you over my jambox 360
