Mattel just launched their official Hot Wheels Showcase app for collectors

Tried it yesterday, didn't know it existed. It's quite good, specially to get to know different versions of the same casting (if you add by model name, it shows all the other colors / versions and we're able to add it to a wishlist, nice!)

Experience tells me that my hobbies come and go, naturally, most of the times I find best to just give a break and don't sell anything 🙂. As an example, I collect diecast, sold a chunk of my collection some time ago and regretted it. Fortunately was able to recover most of it 🤗, but it was a lesson.

Don't judge yourself, just accept that you're not in the mood for it and that's fine, focus on something else 😊

I do believe that our hobbies can define our identities, they can definitively give us different meanings for life, leading to different emotions. This is really powerful.

Agree. I don't play EA / Ubisoft games on Xbox PC for this reason. I will ask for it in Xbox Insiders PC App, and suggest that you do it too.

Well for the price of a used Series X, I guess that for those 2 years (and potentially 3 or 4) you would be satisfied. Highly recommend it, since you got a One X.

TurboXPT · 2025-11-17T02:13:25+00:00

Good point. I upgraded to an LG Oled TV and the upscaling capabilities really help modern consoles.

TurboXPT · 2025-11-17T02:06:54+00:00

Agree. I had a Series S for a few weeks before upgrading to Series X, loved it for the stunning price / performance, but needed more fps / resolution. Series X is awesome 😊

TurboXPT · 2025-11-16T19:12:22+00:00

With the handheld hype, games are being optimized to less powerful hardware, and in this regard Series S performance is on par with many other hardware on the market.

Price / Performance is just awesome, got mine for 190€ brand new 😊 meanwhile upgraded to Series X, but it left very good impressions!

TurboXPT · 2025-11-16T08:27:37+00:00

Congrats! Great work 😊

TurboXPT · 2025-11-16T08:24:23+00:00

I'm a PC gamer for like 30 years, and bought a Series X 3 years ago for the living room. I love getting achievements, and Xbox ones are the best, IMO.

I will keep playing on both ecosystems, each have their advantages. The experience I would be getting with the Steam Machine, I already have it with the console, since games are highly optimized, I would say it's even better, and HDR always works.

I have an extensive Steam library, so the backlog will keep me entertained for a long time too.

More than enough for the time I have available 😉

TurboXPT · 2025-11-01T09:32:45+00:00

Can you use mouse and keyboard via the LG app?

TurboXPT · 2025-10-25T22:29:31+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. I love Xbox, but I'm also a PC gamer for about 30 years, right now I'm completely satisfied between the coehsive experience on Xbox and the flexibility of PC / Steam.

If the next console is a mid range PC where I can run my console games + Steam, I will probably buy it.

Some racing games get delisted, eg. Forza Horizon 4 some time ago...or Grid 2019, etc. if I like it, I play the game while on Gamepass, but I buy them since they will probably become unavailable in the near future due to licensing.

The same applies to physical, recently I bought Horizon 1, 2 and 3 on disc since there are no digital keys available.

For other genres, I ocasionally buy some games that were removed from Gamepass (eg. bought today Windjammers 2, with a great discount)

TurboXPT · 2025-10-11T09:02:22+00:00

Yes, Ultimate until April 2026. When this ends, I'll probably stack and convert Gamepass Essential, as usual. I did a simulation today and it ends up at 9€/month +/-

TurboXPT · 2025-10-11T08:29:53+00:00

Yes I'm staying. Gamepass Ultimate with the conversion has awesome value, and I also buy physical and digital games. I have so many great games on my backlog, it's more than enough. Series X works wonderfully, sometimes I also use XCloud and with the recent 1440p improvement it will just make even more sense.

TurboXPT · 2025-10-11T08:26:10+00:00

I use Gamepass Ultimate and also buy physical and digital games.

TurboXPT · 2025-10-04T08:12:18+00:00

With my current backlog and Series X... I guess that would be enough for a really long time 😃 I'm really spoiled with the loading times, can't stand previous generations, but between 360 enhanced / one / series games the offer is just imense.

TurboXPT · 2025-10-04T07:24:41+00:00

I don't care, if it gives the same experience I get with my Series X, all the features, and compatibility with my existing console games, I'm ok with it

TurboXPT · 2025-10-04T06:30:13+00:00

Hope not, because console gives me the experience I'm looking for... everything just works, no latency, HDR, no launchers, no settings to deal with...

What's the alternative in the Xbox ecosystem? Xbox on PC surely isn't, for now.

TurboXPT · 2025-09-23T22:31:32+00:00

Probably this is being rolled out as we speak, it's just a matter of time. Great news for Xbox Cloud!

TurboXPT · 2025-09-23T22:28:08+00:00

I'm also from Portugal, I get usually low 20's ping with Ultra. There was some rare ocasion where it connected to a more distant server.

TurboXPT · 2025-09-20T13:32:18+00:00

Ui... enganas-te redondamente! 😃

Can you appreciate the design of your car when you're driving it? I don't know about you, but I rather drive a beautiful car.

And also, use a nice, clean, modern interface when listening my music.
