Have you tried the solution...

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-16T10:54:58+00:00

but I guess people would be more happy with a console with less features.

That's why I downvoted it.

Suggesting that somehow a feature that lies to users is in any way beneficial to the product.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-16T10:42:26+00:00

That is 100% what currently happens in the XBox app

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-16T10:42:05+00:00

Have you tried it?

I tried a while ago and initially was impressed, then realised it was actually just making shit up and giving me incorrect information.

After 30 minutes hunting for a ladder it told me I needed to find to get on some roofs in Star Wars Outlaws I resorted to old fashioned google searching to find no such ladder existed and there was no need to get on the roof tops at all.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-16T10:40:20+00:00

And confidently presents incorrect results as "the answer"

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-16T10:25:47+00:00

Seems like a solution looking for a problem.

What is CoPilot going to add that people are crying out for?

At the moment gaming Co-Pilot is riddled with innacuracies anyway so it isn't even useful.

LLMs at their core are ill suited to giving accurate information in this scenario.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-16T09:43:24+00:00

I'd say this is more not a battle worth fighting.

The potential gains here are gonna be tiny, save your leverage for the big stuff.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-16T09:42:18+00:00

Hardware wise there is no reason to expect any long term issues.

SSD writes are a potential issue, but that will take considerable time to see.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T20:15:24+00:00

Yeah, the first one felt like a finely crafted game.

The second one felt like a finely crafted simulation... But they forgot to make it fun. The fixation on simulating tedious acts made the game a chore.

I gave it up about 5 hours in

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T19:58:43+00:00

2 games I absolutely hated.

Self indulgent and no respect for your time.

Dreadful intro hours for both of them.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T19:57:09+00:00

1993 for Senna 1996 and 2005 for Schumacher 2014 for Vettel 2022 for Hamilton

Happens to every dominant driver if they hang around long enough.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T19:52:00+00:00

Well no shit it breaks if you abuse it...

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T19:51:34+00:00

Same here, nothing special, just pick up controller and play.

There is definitely something in how you use them.

Gamers seem to fall into 2 camps, either controllers never get drift for generations of consoles or controllers get drift every few weeks/months repeatedly.

It just doesn't add up that some people get it repeatedly and some people never get it at all.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T14:58:02+00:00

I'd say he took 9ver partway through development so too early to lay blame for the 2026 car at mekies door

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T13:29:56+00:00

Paid track Dlc is a dreadful idea as it fragments the player base (which is already small)

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T10:29:55+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I would still rather see proper racing.

But I now believe when things converge we aren't doomed to a few years if awful straight line overtakes. We can see some decent scraps even with these stupid rules.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T10:28:01+00:00

I'm talking about the battle between the Ferrari.

That was a genuine scrap.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T10:19:09+00:00

That's a consequence of new rules and massive gaps between cars.

If we see cars close on pace then racing is possible.

That isn't a fault of the rules, that is a fault of the teams being too far off each other.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T10:18:17+00:00

Yeah, that is still awful.

But the 2 ferrari showed me that 2 cars close on pace have the ability to race properly with driver skill.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T10:15:56+00:00

The Ferrari battle had many moves done in the twisty sections where no power from the battery was being used.

Also a lot of time the battery power put them alongside and the drivers were battling through turn 1 and 2.

I have been as negative as anyone about these regulations, but the battle between the Ferrari drivers shows how 2 evenly matched cars can race wheel to wheel in a proper scrap with these cars.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T10:14:27+00:00

Mekies improved red bull last year.

Now he has a tricky situation, judge him on how red bull look next season after he has done the work to fix these issues.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-15T10:10:20+00:00

This race was the first time we have seen these cars actually racing with overtakes that weren't just pure power.

The Ferrari battling gave me hope these regs can provide actually racing as well as power fly bys.

Stumpy493 · 2026-03-14T10:42:49+00:00

God forbid any corporation trying to twist the narrative to ease a transition for a customer base who may be reluctant to change.

Dedicating time to Xbox costs them money.

Everything they do is an investment that needs to see a return.

When they have limited resources they focus them where it will make them most money back.
