@shockwaver@strangeobject.space Oh geeze, yeah that is an annoying process. Sorry, don't use *those sites* any more so I have zero clue what is even out there now!

@shockwaver@strangeobject.space I always rip my new CDs at a high bitrate and load them into iTunes. I pay for iTunes Match ($28/year) so everything in my local library is available in the cloud and on all of my devices.

Obviously your mileage may vary if you are an Android user :)

@rhtunstall There are definitely some concerns with Microsoft owning so many companies, just look at the many studio closures by Embracer and other large holding companies, but am willing to give Microsoft some time to make good on their promised before dropping the platform.

@rhtunstall Starfield likely wouldn't have been much different if not released after the MS purchase, we'll never know. Likely would have been multiplatform at the very least. Fallout 76 released before the merger, so I don't think MS could be blamed for that one.

I just don't see what you mean about GamePass. My family and I regularly play the new games that come out and it's been an insane value. I own all of the platforms, but GamePass keeps me playing more on Xbox than anywhere else lately

@rhtunstall Wait, how have they ruined Bethesda and Activision? I mean, the ActBlizKing purchase just cleared less than a month ago…

@wilalambre if you like Bethesda RPGs and don’t mind the odd jank, it’s fantastic. So many large cities to explore. Quests around every corner. Some of the best questlines ever in a Beth game.

Rolled credits in #Starfield this past weekend. What a game. Combines everything I love about Fallout and Elder Scrolls games and adds a pile of No Man's Sky-style exploration. I can see myself playing this for years and years.

Excited for official mod support to come in. I don't want to lock myself out of achievements right now or in DLC or I would mess around on PC. I know that there is an achievement enabler mod already, but I play mostly on Xbox and have no clue if that would break things.

@nathansmith Sadly there is no way to alter the graphic settings at launch on Xbox. I'm still hopeful that a future patch will add some of that in. I'd gladly play at 1440p @60Hz on my Series X. Maybe one day

RIIIICOOOOO - HAHHH!

@gamingonlinux aren’t AI content farms awesome? 🤢

Google is mostly useless these days. Hope they can remedy this

@wilalambre Just type in your SIN here in the app. Don't worry, you can trust us.

@Robavince So triggered right now.

I'm never **not** searching Bing AI like this in the future. Yo yo yo! Word is bond. 😂

Super Space Club is out on Steam! Amazing arcade-styled shooter, definitely check this one out! #SuperSpaceClub

@whalecoiner The last 5-6 months of Twitter has turned me into a block-a-holic. I used Twitter since basically the beginning and had managed to only block 1 account in all that time... not any more. Post Elon Twitter changed all of that.

My Mastodon, Threads and Twitter timelines are so much nicer now :D

So Google Search is useless due to the amount of crap ai content taking top spots.

Twitter is useless due to the obvious.

Reddit is uselsss to many due to their api changes and company direction.

Where do people go for breaking global and local news now? RSS is quirky on some sites, and aggregators all seem to be lacking one feature I need.

Still say this is all Google’s fault for killing Reader 😂

Playing the new Sponge Bob DLC in PowerWash Simulator (fantastic) on my Steam Deck while sitting next to my daughter who is playing Splatoon on her Switch.

It just hit me that we are playing the opposite game. #SteamDeck #NintendoSwitch

Emulating NES, SNES, and N64 games simultaneously on #VisionPro 👀

So we ended up watching the Super Mario Bros movie for Father's Day last night and it was awesome. Everything we wanted from a movie set in that world, with enough easter eggs for the long time players. Excited for the coming sequels!

The funniest scene for me was only a second long, and most people would have probably missed it: When Cat Mario stands on the fallen body of DK he starts kneading.

I absolutely lost it 😂 So good. #SuperMarioBros #SuperMarioMovie #Nintendo

I think I have a problem…

…the problem is, I only have one mouth!
