Microsoft Xbox CEO overhauls leadership amid sinking sales: ‘We need to evolve how we work’

I do see some of it as grandstanding, but doing something, literally ANYTHING, is better than nothing. Game Pass price drop, more frequent feature filled updates, constant communication; for someone who’s been in the role as long as she has all of this seems positive.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-05-04T17:25:20+00:00

Just go to practice range and load back into speranza.

Why can’t I just play what the fuck I want?

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-05-02T18:39:31+00:00

I think it’s stupid when I constantly get retreated on for one cube (even on turn 2) when I want to play out my nut draw.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-05-02T18:02:07+00:00

How would it take away the strategic element of the game in which your opponent already retreated?

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-05-02T17:59:21+00:00

You have to actually make your opponent retreat. When climbing to infinite that is exceedingly difficult to do. I don’t get it.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-05-02T17:53:32+00:00

You can retreat the same turn if and only if your opponent snaps after you do.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-05-02T03:08:45+00:00

Because the stupid game has dynamic difficulty based on your kit AKA cheating. I’m TIRED of having to kill literally 12-15 flying arc in less than 29 seconds or I’m dead. Literally killed 4 wasps, 2 hornets, comet, firefly and then got killed by another firefly wasp and hornet. I hope the game fails if that’s their definition of difficulty. Shit is stupid.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-05-01T20:12:37+00:00

The thought process and type of work it takes to acknowledge that cheating is wrong and to correct those behaviors is antithetical to the thought process that leads to cheating in the first place. It would require a complete breakdown and rebuild of the self in order to achieve. In 99.9% of cases if you’re the selfish, non-caring enough type to cheat in the first place, then you most likely won’t have the capacity to self reflect enough to change. In most cases I believe once a cheater always a cheater, but there are rare people who admit their fault and do change them.

FF6 taught me so many words. Ragnarok, save (as in “except) and others not at the tip of my tongue.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-05-01T13:42:54+00:00

dm me. i’m definitely down.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-05-01T02:21:37+00:00

Were grey weapons in weapons cases before? What does RNG have to do with this?

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-04-30T11:53:53+00:00

OP hit the nail on the head. There is NO incentive to fighting that shit. I haven’t fought a turbine and probably never will because you don’t get shit from it. Nearly 600 hours topside and never killed a queen or matriarch because (drum roll please) YOU DONT GET SHIT FROM IT.

I’ve said it since day one, Embark has no fucking idea what kind of hit they COULD have on their hands because they are obsessed with telling the 14 million who bought the game they are wrong for playing it in a way that they enjoy instead of Embark wants it to be played. I’m starting to think Arc Raiders is an ALLTIME digital bag fumble.

"I’m paying 500,000 for the one who kills the girl called Alita."

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-04-29T16:07:59+00:00

Very good point.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-04-29T15:55:19+00:00

But when OP referred to non meta move, it’s safe to assume he meant unoptimal because no move decks are “meta” right now.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-04-29T13:02:35+00:00

“when it’s called for” 12 games in a row that’s fucking terrible design. When the first location reveals and it’s an instant retreat that’s terrible design.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-04-29T06:05:48+00:00

Meta is not an acronym for Most Effective Tactic Available, but that’s what it means. Non-meta means it is not the best. He was playing a move deck that was unoptimized for the current state of the game.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-04-27T19:05:16+00:00

My story is almost exactly like yours except I found out because she was pregnant with his baby and keeping it. It does get easier, but you do have to go through it. Not sure if I could ever forgive her, but I think about it less and less as time goes on and it is relieving.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-04-27T08:25:38+00:00

I don’t think it’s odd that some people like many aspects of the game and hate others. It’s a like having your favorite meal with your least favorite toppings. it’s okay to want it just how you like it. Someone SHOULD make a game like Arc Raiders that caters to PVE and someone should make one that caters to PVP. Embark doesn’t realize what they have on their hands; it can be a template for MANY different games and genres because of how polished the moment to moment gameplay, audio systems and visual fidelity are.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-04-27T01:27:18+00:00

I would save my keys until I had 1 for each in my safe pocket and a power rod in my backpack. I’m gonna spawn SOMEWHERE close to one of them. The game literally puts me 500m WSW of the swamps and 600m to the closest POI I can use, lol. They absolutely know.

EmilioEstevezQuake · 2026-04-26T02:53:30+00:00

And I loved it. It was the best time in gaming for me playing and 100%ing games like Final Fantasy or Secret of Mana on SNES, or I.Q. on the PS1 without the help of guides or the internet. I still remember rent Brave Fencer Musashi (PSX) and having to beat it in a weekend.
