Oh boy wait until I tell you about windows 11™ and all its amazing features!

007ace, 28 dni temu

Running SteamOS on my living room gaming PC. There are more options than windows 11.

I also just installed pop os on my 2021 laptop that was struggling with windows 11. It breathed new life into it. The computer is now as snappy as when I first got it

I’m gonna have to “upgrade” at work soon and it’s going to suck

I got a new computer with win11 a year or so ago. I made them buy me a win10 license because I couldn’t do my job anymore. fucking file explorer doesn’t even work on win11. astounding

Fuck the closed console. Do not throw all the computational power away.

Almost the entire mobile game industry. Copiously available, cheap, hollow, dopamine hunting, etc.

IK, it was such a new game mechanic, really enjoyed getting caught in that level. Hide and seek.

50% price hike means Microsoft is basically betting that less than 1/3 of the current subscribers will cancel. Microsoft is also betting that some will not cancel but just downgrade to lower tier instead. If more than 2/3 of the subscriber remain a subscriber then Microsoft will come out ahead.

Great set piece, mildly irritating execution

God I hope we’re in the matrix. I refuse to accept this is the reality now.

If this is the Matrix then it sucks, I don’t think it’s supposed to suck this much, everyone would take living in Zion over this.

Is it worth playing this now in 2025? It’s on my “bought but never loaded” list

nfreak, 28 dni temu

Absolutely. Still holds up extremely well in every aspect.

Honytawk, 28 dni temu

Played through them all recently.

The first one has aged a bit, and has a small map. The gameplay however is great and the story too. It aged really well because it has a distinct art style.

The next ones do everything the first one did, but better. Bigger map, more gadgets, longer story.

If you want to feel like Batman, I highly recommend.

newthrowaway20, 27 dni temu

Yes yes yes.

Just went through the whole series the other month. Still holds up surprisingly well.

Lol add on xbox. Is it possible to add a ad guard DNS to it block these like with Samsung tv?

datavoid, 28 dni temu

There is no way an Xbox would continue to work after blocking MS servers

ohshit604, 28 dni temu

Depends on the host name, I’m sure there is a PiHole blocklist out in the wild but likely only targets telemetry.

ohshit604, 28 dni temu

If it connects to the internet, you can change the DNS to whatever you want it to be. If Tim over at Apple had his way I’m sure he’d force his ‘i’ devices to use a “Secure Apple DNS Pro™️” server.

Xbox has been dead since the launch of series x. Sell it and get off the train before the systems worth nothing.

Zahille7, 28 dni temu do games w Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced

I hadn’t even turned on my Xbox One in almost a year until I helped my brother set one up for his game room this past week.

Every time you go to play a game, it brings up an entire pop-up that looks like the store page for whatever you’re trying to play, then you press “play.” Like, it was entirely unnecessary adding an extra popup screen asking if yes, that’s the game I want to play.

Madzielle, 28 dni temu

Yeah, I play all the time and noticed this jist a few weeks back. I fuckin hate it

ryper, 28 dni temu

You can disable that

• On the Xbox home screen, go to "My Games and Apps."
• Then, go to “Apps,” “Settings,” “General,” and "Personalization."
• Go to “Games and Apps,” then scroll to the right until the three boxes below "Choose whether game hubs open automatically from the following places."
• Uncheck the boxes on all three options: “Recently Played List,” “Groups,” and “Installed Games.”–

I actually stepped my subscription tier down because of the price increase on Ultimate. Wasn’t worth the 50% jump for me.

Aviandelight, 28 dni temu

I did too. As much as I hate MS, Xbox live is really our only way to play with our friends (who live all over the world because my husband is a night owl). I got Ultimate for giggles and it turned out my husband games so much it was a good deal. It’s definitely not at the new price. I personally have only used the console to play Minecraft over the last two years since I can’t get Bedrock on my steam deck without some major fuckery.
