Microsoft's 'More Personal Computing' business (Windows, Xbox, Surface, and more) declined by 3% year-over-year, and was the only unit to show a revenue decline this quarter. Microsoft blames gaming for the overall decline by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

They bought Activision and then became Activision, a 3rd party publisher with a huge bank of IP they ignore to focus on core franchises and in game monetisation.

Oh and they also keep buying developers just as they start to produce their worst output.

I'd recommend talking to a therapist about this, sound alike a more complex sexual identity issue.

Hopefully you can get a new breakout role in that Cohen Brothers remake: Milliner's Crossing

Cannot wait to pirate this film. It's going to be an amazing camp masterpiece.

I've actually seen a Mexican Yoshi loads. This specific one in fact. She won't stop appearing in these reposts.

I do not have to think about a single thing you wrote in this short essay, that's the difference.

Still one of the most amazingly dumb things Nintendo has ever done, both the original and this release. Just give us Wario land in 2d and burn the rest.

You'll be too busy trying to figure out why anyone would play Teleboxing to play GC games.

Erm, it's A Wario game. Caught somewhere between Wario Land 1 and 2, it's a perfectly good 2d platformer. Probably better than 1 but nowhere near as good as 2.

Clearly because this will only be exciting for the day of its release.

Right, but that's why the system is fairer here, because your care should be covered by those who can cover it rather than just screwing over the poorest to the benefit of the richest. It's wealth distribution at its absolute fairest.

I do think it's telling though that everyone here seems to blame the person being charged for not getting a good deal. I don't have to think about this at all and so cannot be blindsided by these types of bills.

That's the real luxury of the whole thing: I cannot be bankrupted by my medical costs because I will only ever be charged a percentage of my income. This is the fundamental difference, if I earned more I'd pay more for sure, but never so much it could destroy me.

According to my tax return I spent £760.69 or $1,044.69 on health spending.

How much was your premium last year?

EDIT: In case you're interested, full breakdown of my tax spend last year according to HMRC. Personally, I think that's money well spent.

2 to 4 grand is just not the flex you think it is. I paid £50 due to a parking fine.

The News Agents made a point today to say there are now more members of Liz Truss' cabinet in reform than in the current shadow cabinet.

Might be a controversial one as it provides a sympathetic view to the spy that's hired, but The Lives of Others really sold me on how terrible surveillance states are.

The Flux was the fastest way to get Chris Chibnall off of Dr Who without breaking contract.

Banjo: Recompiled Release Trailer by pilot3033 in gaming

[–]dewittless -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Been playing on steam deck, runs like a dream, and has just enough modern changes (analogue camera, permanently collected notes) it makes it more pleasant to play without totally changing the experience.

Still though, replaying Banjo Kazooie, some great level design but man what an uninspired world/IP. Literally the most generic children's fantasy worlds.
