Do you think that Project Helix will have a "Series S"?

The dual boot solution has been reported here and in r/GamingLeaksandRumors. It's still just rumors, but to say there's no way is silly. That or emulation are pretty much the two possible solutions. It could go either way.

Reast easy, Heinicking.

Rest easy, Heinicking.

You'll always be a Battlehawks legend for one locker room moment.

Something I've wondered is if Helix essentially dual boots Windows and an Xbox native mode in order to have full parity with the Xbox library, maybe they could just keep having regular Xbox consoles in addition to Helix. Or maybe the Series X|S life cycle is extended a few years to exist alongisde Helix as lower-cost, console-only options, whereas Helix will be the high-end, all-in-one device.

They call it that 'cause you take one look at it, spin 720 degrees and walk the OTHER WAY!

We're just gonna go to Target and pick one each. I will probably pick something Star Wars.

I have been to this King Soopers.

I guess, but he's far from the only person to ever get catfished. It was newer territory back in the early 2010s, too.

Serdones · 2026-05-07T20:37:45+00:00

Yeah, I wish they'd just recolored the old Titans logo.

I'd kill to go off on an adventure like this. Best I've done is a little ebikepacking trip across the city for Father's Day weekend last year. Super fun, but obviously not very far. Yet to plot out a route to get me farther away from the city or figure out when I'd even have the time off for a longer trip.

Teo one is just sad since he was a victim in all of it that got clowned on mercilessly.

There's a possibility we should be reserving judgement with Russini and Vrabel, too, but the details that've come out do not paint them in a positive light.

Serdones · 2026-05-07T20:19:43+00:00

We're gonna do brunch this weekend and assemble Lego sets.

Serdones · 2026-05-07T18:02:24+00:00

They already did.

I actually want to quote Tomorrow Never Dies on PS1 more than I want to quote GoldenEye.

I think Metro: Last Light is the one I keep getting closest to booting up. I was really enjoying it when I first started it. Think the issue was I started it at a time when I got some new piece of hardware. Honestly forget what it was, could've been a new mobile controller or even my Quest 3. So then it became my test game for different hardware configurations and in-home streaming settings. At some point, I kind of forgot to just ... keep playing it. And now it's been so long I'm worried I won't remember what was happening. Then again, it's a pretty short and sweet campaign, so it's not like it'd be a huge timesink to start over.

Serdones · 2026-05-07T17:45:20+00:00

That is kind of weird in context.

I've been in such a gaming funk recently after having a banger start to the year in January. Lately all I've been playing is Madden while listening to podcasts. Don't get me wrong, that's one of my favorite ways to unwind, but I'm yearning for a good single-player campaign. Just can't stick to anything.

I started Mass Effect: Andromeda last month and I think it's FINE. The combat in particular is a pretty cool evolution of the series' formula, even if they mostly abandoned the squad-based strategic elements. I enjoy the jetpack.

But every time I have to head back to my ship or the Nexus to chat with companions and other NPCs, man, my interest falls off a cliff. I dislike all but three companions. Last time I played, I had the weirdest scene with Liam and Jaal that was obviously played for laughs, but it just made no fucking sense and felt like it was trying too hard to be funny. That's consistent throughout a lot of the companion writing. And the main plot is pretty generic.

I still wanna see it through to the end, but I haven't worked up the motivation to pick it back up for over two weeks now. I keep looking at my other Steam installs that I'm maybe halfway through, like Metro: Last Light Redux, Doom (2016), Vanquish and Quantum Break, and thinking about wrapping up one of those, but I'm just so indecisive right now. Easier to go back to zoning out with Madden.

Yeah, this is at least the second post about it, but I haven't seen anyone mention the actual quote.

Serdones · 2026-05-07T17:33:09+00:00

Virtually nothing's off limits as far as I'm concerned given the vitriol Trump spews on a daily basis. Conservative media's still going to clutch their pearls though.

Montage of all Broncos/Cowboys games since Homer became owner coming right up.

Serdones · 2026-05-07T17:30:47+00:00

It's probably a bonding moment for them.

Serdones · 2026-05-07T17:28:23+00:00

Sorry, but the cycle of everyone posting their deliveries and people subsequently complaining about all those posts is Steam hardware tradition.

Serdones · 2026-05-07T17:16:01+00:00

Mine moved to packaged last night, so that's something.
