I’m broke but I’m optimistic that XBOX and my account with all my games will still be playable in 2036.

I’d buy a Series X - I have been meaning to buy one for a few years, but the jobs barely cover the cost of rent these days so there’s also that to deal with.
Those were the days huh. Now it’d make more sense to spend money on other hobbies, maybe start a collection of electric guitar effects pedals hahaha.

Xbox@lemmy.zip•Microsoft goes back to Xbox and ditches Microsoft Gaming as new leaders admit "players are frustrated" with the console and pricing: "We have to be honest about where we are"English
1·4 months agoMicrosoft is doing some interesting things for casual gamers - like if you buy a controller you can play a few basic games via subscription and cancel after however many months you choose. It might not appeal to you or me but it changes the way that casual people can play games. Plus, no need to worry about which console to buy or what TV cabinet to store it in. Just play. I think that’s a cool new development from Microsoft. That’s what I expect from a technology company, for them to try new things.

Gaming@lemmy.zip•What are your favorite video games that feel like gambling but are not gambling games?English
1·4 months agoFor me, I’d say any kind of survival-simulation game or any sort of card game. Lots of choices to be made and not all of them are good in the end.

2·6 months agoThis doesn’t apply to a relationship if one person in the relationship is working, the other unemployed.
It also doesn’t apply to relationships where the couple has no children.
If you live alone, you also don’t get the payment.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says that while there are legit types of AI content on the platform, the company is considering Face ID and other passkey verification methods to ensure there's human behindEnglish
3·6 months agoReddit bans (and shadow bans) are unreasonable and unfair. The fact that you can be banned for the smallest little thing just means that there is no true diversity of opinion, it’s just a hive mind with a false consensus.

1·6 months agoIt’s better than having to open Edge Browser and use websites that are infested with advertising. Seriously, having ai answer questions about a game, while in the game, is going to replace search for some of us. I’d definitely use it rather than a browser or having to switch to my pathetic android phone. Most modern games are complicated and the player needs the browser open all the time to get tips and little pieces of info.
It’s going to get very expensive. Funny how people are just learning that today on day 8 or 9.
I knew in 2010 that Iran would do something like this because I followed news and I read books.
Do both.
Killing a religious leader is an extremely bad idea. I hope that Iran will eventually launch attacks inside the U.S. and launch drones against U.S. bases in San Diego.

Global News@lemmy.zip•Russia may stage radiation incident and blame Ukraine, ISW report saysEnglish
16·7 months agoIt’s not that simple and besides, if the war made no sense for russia they’d just settle along current lines. According to Ukraine’s propaganda, only 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers are dead or injured and somehow russia has 1,500,000 dead (not counting injury). Ukraine doesn’t even have a functioning economy, they are propped up with donations because they cannot pay the salary of government workers.

They sealed its fate by having no DLC.
