More Xbox Layoffs They Promised Wouldn’t Happen After Acquisition Blitz

I'm starting to think we have unknowingly entered the age of great American civic nihilism. The impetus for that belief most recently has been RFK Jr. and the wider government's complete acquiescence to his bald-faced lies and betrayals. If nobody can be bothered to lift a finger over that man, then they obviously don't think...

Microsoft Slaps Hours Limits On Xbox Game Pass Cloud Gaming

There's enshittification, and then there's enshittification. Allow me to give you an example of each. For what we'll call enshittification classic, there's Xbox's Game Pass service. A mere two years ago, Microsoft made all kinds of changes to Game Pass to coincide with a serious slowdown of subscriber adoption. Those changes included doing away with...

#oneaday Day 761: The depths of the id

I think one of the hardest things to watch during the latest of myriad sessions of layoffs over at XBOX, The Everything Console has been seeing id Software be gutted. Everyone has That One Company who always made stuff that they liked, which has been there since their childhood, and for me I think that...

i guess it’s better than Nothing?

Microsoft will likely soon follow Sony and stop the production of physical discs for Xbox games. But instead of leaving physical discs behind entirely, sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell me the company has quietly been working on a disc-to-digital feature that will allow Xbox owners to digitize their existing physical game collections. Xbox employees...

Xbox Game Pass Mais Barato

Em outubro do ano passado a Microsoft resolveu aumentar o preço do Game Pass. Aumento de preços não é algo exatamente novo, nem para o Game Pass, nem para a grande maioria dos serviços de streaming, mas no último aumento a Microsoft extrapolou, a assinatura mensal do plano Ultimate simplesmente dobrou, foi de R$60,00 para R$120,00, um absurdo. A grande justificativa foi a inclusão do jogo Call of Duty no serviço, que agora é da Microsoft após a compra da Activision/Blizzard. Ok, entendemos que f...

Music Mondays – February 16, 2026

Okay, I know this post is late. I also know that I'm not Andy. But just listen for a moment, he's busy and he asked me to fill in (i.e. I bugged him until he said yes). Nothing makes an impact on a game in exactly the same way as a main menu. A game...

If I had an Xpache

If I had an Xpache game disk, I would buy an Xbox. Especially since PHP is so much more stable on Windows platforms these days. So, somebody get off your ass and make that disc for me.

Million-dollar idea: Make a chipset

Million-dollar idea: Make a chipset that emulates all the graphics and sound functions of the XBox and design it to fit onto one PCI card, since it looks like the Xbox console and its reference hardware are going to be to gaming 2 years from now what the original SoundBlaster was 12 years ago.

You've reached the end.
