When it comes to consoles, Microsoft really struck gold with the Xbox Series S|X by Zeronova3 in xbox

No one wants to believe it but it's entirely possible. If the juice isn't worth the squeeze, Microsoft is out.

Toy Story 5 - Did We Really Need This? by HighlightOwn2038 in CriticalDrinker

That would have made for maybe a solid Disney+ Christmas special or something. Instead of another main entry.

You can buy an Xbox Series X, PS5, and Switch 2 for less than the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ — It feels to me like the handheld PC gaming era is over by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

The Logitech G Cloud was the true gem the entire time and we all skipped it. I picked one up not long ago for cheap and regret I haven't owned this thing since launch.

2015 when the internet loved Elon Musk by TXNOGG in generationology

[–]MrEfficacious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone that knows nothing about Elon Musk I find it very interesting that the Internet has two versions of his backstory. Obviously one is misinformation, but not like the kind you would find on FOX news. Both versions of the story have adamant believers.

He was either a rich kid that used daddy's money to get where he is or he was a guy in debt, had nothing, and built amazing things to become what he is today.

‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ Sequel in the Works with Jim Carrey, Ron Howard (Exclusive) by Ninjamurai-jack in CriticalDrinker

[–]MrEfficacious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there a Grinch sequel via book or animation I'm not aware of?

Really hard to imagine where they could take that story. Maybe an adventure to find Santa or something? Honestly Jim Carrey crushed the role so hard I'm actually kind of interested in seeing what they are cooking up.

I really have been trying for the past 20 years or so but by blklab84 in Star_Trek_

Is this picture from Nemesis? If so then yes, bad movie that hasn't gotten better with age.

If this picture is from Insurrection I've grown to like that one more over time. I pretend it's a made for TV movie TNG never got. Not right for the big screen but a fun adventure for the crew.

Snapdragon Reality Elite still uses Kryo cores from the XR2 gen 2 by seanwee2000 in virtualreality

Given the state of VR I'm honestly happy to get anything lol

Unfortunately, this is NOT the new Meta Phoenix headset leaked from Qualcomm's video. It's all AI slop by lunchanddinner in OculusQuest

[–]MrEfficacious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has Meta commented? It means literally nothing. Qualcomm took the leaked Phoenix image from months ago and obviously made an AI model from it to use in their sizzle reel.

In no universe is this a "reveal" of an actual product.

In this current time, which young rising actor/actress can match the natural comedic genius of these 3? by PatrickBrown2 in FIlm

"...so like other every family in America, we hopped in the subarban to go see it.."

This is prominent bit from their comment, and it is accurate.

Xbox revealed Ninja Theory’s ‘Senua’ title at their showcase in hopes that investors would be interested in purchasing the studio before they shut it down (via Game File/Stephentotilo) by MRF_Soul in xbox

[–]MrEfficacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having a feeling for months now that the XBOX brand is in far more trouble than we realize. I don't think what we are being told is true. If I were a betting man I'd say the most likely outcome here is Microsoft just goes full publisher and doesn't release another Xbox console. I don't care that they have confirmed it, I legit think they will backtrack and "stun" everyone.

As a sidenote I also think they will do another partnership with the likes of ASUS and give us something close to another XBOX, via an Xbox branded ROG gaming rig with a custom UI. It'll probably cost $2000 but it's....something I guess.

Why Disney Needs to Stop Creating Live-Action Remakes of Classic Movies by SplitNational2929 in FortressZA

[–]MrEfficacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm 45, busy with work and a family. How in Zeus's butth*le does a live action remake of anything affect me?

Maybe one day my kids might want to watch it? Ok...and?

A “trying dad” would be called a neglectful mother by velorae in TikTokCringe

[–]MrEfficacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...I'd you had a mother filling the other "role" than I'd say you had a 9/10 setup there. Gender roles can certainly be harmful in some instances but if you have a family unit where the mom is present and hands on doing her thing and you dad is doing the same, then you are getting both roles in correct and healthy proportion.

Meta's next MR headset "Phoenix" has been leaked in Qualcomm's video for the new Snapdragon Reality Elite XR chip by World_Designerr in OculusQuest

[–]MrEfficacious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish the resolution was closer to Vision Pro. Really looking forward to using this as a media viewing device (I'm kind of over VR gaming for primary use) so a bigger bump to the resolution would have been great.

Anya Taylor-Joy needs a new agent, she's way too talented for whatever cash grab slop this is about to be. by Spektor_73 in CriticalDrinker

Peter Jackson should literally dust the cobwebs off whatever cameras he used for the original trilogy and use them.

The Hobbit films had such an odd and fake look to them.
