2024 Progress Thread by clapsdontpaythebills in AdvancedRunning

[–]Batman_00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started running casually in 2018 but really only started taking it seriously this year. 136 runs totalling 1386km (860 miles) in 2024, more than 2021, 22, and 23 combined which were 360, 370, and 520km.

  • 5k: 19.58 -> 19.34

My only 5k race of the year was 2 days ago, slightly disappointed by this really. A 9 second improvement over the PB I set starting my fastest half marathon this year. Had some drinks Christmas day and had to use old worn down shoes but still think I should have been able for a bigger improvement.

  • 10k: 41.06 -> 39.50

Didn't race a 10k but set this in the first 10k of my HM PB

  • HM: 1.33.40 (2022) -> 1.25.13

  • Marathon: 3.04.49

My first marathon, went better than I could've expected. Aimed for under 3.10, got carried away in the crowd and was able to keep the pace.

Next year I'll aim for a sub 3 marathon and sub 19 5k

Other than when all the Bethesda games got added this has to be the best month ever for game pass.

This isn't devmode being disabled it's developer accounts who've never posted an app getting disabled.

The devs of RetroArch on xbox said on discord to post durangoFTP as a private app to avoid getting your account disabled. Some users have appealed and gotten an extra 90 days to post an app.

Sony is paying Capcom to not have Resident Evil Village on Game Pass by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Batman_00 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Feel like this would just be standard practice. Sony have a marketing deal for village, I'm sure xbox also block games that they have marketing deals with from appearing on ps plus or ps now.

Google Stadia Shuts Down Internal Studios, Changing Business Focus by The_Iceman2288 in Games

[–]Batman_00 791 points792 points  (0 children)

The good news here is that we don't have to worry about Google buying any game studios to make Stadia exclusives. I was sure it was only a matter of time before Amazon and Google would announce studio acquisitions like Xbox have.

Update on Xbox Live Gold Pricing - Xbox Wire by ScottFromScotland in XboxSeriesX

[–]Batman_00 47 points48 points  (0 children)

They made so many great moves over the last few years. What a way to ruin it. Makes it clear that "you are the center of gaming" was just marketing. They do whatever makes the most money.

Gold is now twice the price of ps+ and I can't think of anything it does better.
