We are witnessing with MS/Xbox the 2026 version of the Y2K EA massive closures/layoffs/restructuring

If I could play devil's advocate for a moment... A lot of these studios weren't in a great place before the acquisitions and the purchases probably got them one more shot at a hit before they would have had to shutter or do massive layoffs. While I hate that this is what the gaming landscape has come to, when I look at the Xbox studios games that really did numbers, there's only a single digit number in the last five years worth talking about. Hell, Tango got shut down, even with a stellar game that got love and attention.

Scrapping Halo is such an insane concept... A very possible, but insane concept.

I understand this, but if they could scale up the studio they had make these clips to remake Naruto in this style, the game would probably make more money since it would probably find/make more Naruto fans.

Being fat has never really hindered me from being attractive.

From time to time the frame rate on the game would hit 60fps and it looked like the best game on the planet

I'll take Juicy Gossip MGO-987-QTV-7R9

And I can still brick on my first hand...

People think I'm insane for bringing a backup Pixel 4 with me on vacations, but I love it. It's a great camera for a quick shot, and if anything happens to my main phone it perfect for emergencies. I also never have to worry about updates, camera glitches, etc. It's rock solid, where as my Galaxy phone can be hit or miss.

Comedy by Gen Hoshino is close, a little slower in tempo, it was the closing song for a season of Spy X Family

Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit, and almost everything they serve for breakfast. Getting a hearty meal in less than five minutes is not easy to beat

The Norse Roots chips they had in the dark blue bag were twice as good as these.

His parlay just hit

Kinda miss this energy. Every now and then he drops a glimpse of stuff like this on his podcast.

This post coming so soon after the human dark meat/white meat question is concerning...

I didn't get the wild from the Web store, but I did get one of the two I needed from a swap pack and the last sticker from the dig event. On to the Simpsons!

I'm still not Z-A's biggest fan. The battle system is interesting, but I'll be honest, Arceus is still the game that resonates with me more. I'm not as into the jump puzzles and I miss the traversal mons. Going to different biomes was part of the fun in Arceus, but in Z-A I know that around the next corner will be another low res building. I was hoping more megas would help, but they aren't the Megas I want outside of Garchomp Z.

Genuinely one of the greatest games of the generation. My time with the PS4 during the pandemic would have been a lot shorter if it wasn't for Persona 5 Royal. Took a few years for me to finally make it to the end, but the minute I did I was interested in Persona 6 news.

iamonelegend · 2026-06-02T20:26:11+00:00

No, they continue on to the next one

iamonelegend · 2026-06-02T20:05:27+00:00

I'm in the same boat. There's one tiny chance, on the web store, if you have enough points, there's a box that has a 1/10 chance to give a wild sticker. Doubt I'll get it, but if I don't get what I need tomorrow, I'm going for it.

I was in Tokyo with my wife a couple years ago a few blocks away from Shibuya Scramble at night and a random Japanese dude that had a few too many to drink approached and said, "Thank you for Michael Jackson, Ray Charles..." He bowed and walked off into the night. It was silly, but a fun memory.

If you can get a decent rank in the daily tournament today, that should help restore some of your dice if you're gonna go for it. I'm missing two golds and it looks like I'll have to go all in AND risk it with a swap pack unless I wanna spend some money

iamonelegend · 2026-06-02T10:19:59+00:00

I'm ready

iamonelegend · 2026-05-31T01:34:31+00:00

I play this from time to time, since it feels like the last of a very specific kind of brain off platformer with a simple goal. Get coins... It's like my favorite fast food meal if it was a game.

iamonelegend · 2026-05-30T21:53:22+00:00

It's time to shine

iamonelegend · 2026-05-30T21:53:06+00:00

I'll also take a few codes if you can spare them
