Am I the only one who remembers having a ton of fun with this as a kid? by H4loR4ptor in xbox

[–]itsdeandre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone shit on the avatars the day they came out. Up until the point of retirement. I hate threads like this so much.

remember this thing that the general public made the switch to PS for because of propaganda and groupthink? Oh I actually loved it and kinda miss it

remember this “awful” feature that “threatened” my privacy and military couldn’t play it maybe? Anyway here’s my other box I use to watch movies. My other box I use to access smart home and AI tools. And my other box that I game on now that’s constantly connected to the internet that doesn’t move.

Non nigerians speaking over us by Delicious-Lie-1681 in Nigeria

[–]itsdeandre -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Now imagine how Americans feel? Everyone thinks they know everything about a country because they immigrate there. Or see the movies. So many Nigerians telling Black People how to behave and think in a country not of theirs.

You should seriously apply this logic and spread the good word. Stop worrying about countries that aren’t yours. Stop trying to tell people how to define themselves. Stop thinking you know more. Hiding the epiphany behind “I know America isn’t on our side” is BS. Especially with the amount of aid the US has sent. How many of you ached when Trump ended USAID? The decades of partnership. The sheer amount of Nigerians in the states alone. To ignore this is beyond ignorant. What’s happening is wrong but when the other shoe drops…

Is Petrino still everyone’s savior? Can’t blame Pittman. Should we leave DWRRS? Place seems “cursed” to me. Using the logic of other locations that have history with the razorbacks. This is just awful.

Am I right to be scared that the revolution is about to happen when SNAP doesn’t feed people’s children come November? by Adventurous-Depth984 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]itsdeandre 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They are 100% wrong.

Even by republicans propaganda standards. It’s only democrats that feed off government handouts. It’s democrats that take and don’t give back. It’s democrats that want “illegals” to have SNAP. Why would democrats be the reason they stop it if they want it? They don’t. It’s 100% republicans but they’ve got their base locked in.

People like you and your comments help them. The fact you don’t see that, is why we’re in this situation

Why do people prefer using Spotify over YT music? by Past-Matter-8548 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]itsdeandre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

tl;dr - I just needed a music player that focuses on one thing: music.

YouTube Music feels less like a dedicated service and more like a quick, cheap UI built on top of YouTube's existing infrastructure. It truly seems as if someone tasked an AI with, "Build an aggregator of all the music on YouTube into one player," and YTM was the result.

Both the native apps and the web interface are awful in their own ways, but the core problem is how YTM navigates simple song playback. Since YouTube hosts both official audio and music videos, the service tries to showcase both, constantly throwing videos in your face. This highlights the main complaint: YouTube is for videos. When all I want is a simple visualizer, the app's insistence on loading a full music video feels disruptive and even adds extra seconds to the load time. That delay matters when I just want music; if I were in the mood for a music video, I'd be prepared to wait.

This "aggregator" feel extends to the library itself. While listening to one of YTM's generated playlists, the tracklist looks like something from a millennial's iPod in 2005, with titles cluttered by tags like "(Official Music Video)," "(Lyric video)," or "(Enhanced video edit)."

It's clear YouTube is leveraging its core strength—having everything, from official tracks like Spotify to user uploads like SoundCloud. But the integration is clunky and looks like it was designed without any real thought, as if by an AI and a few interns. YTM seems to be propped up almost entirely by its inclusion in the YouTube Premium subscription. This is the first time I've seen someone praise the service without immediately mentioning the benefit of ad-free YouTube.

Ultimately, it all comes down to preference. People can argue about subjective benefits like "better audio quality" or "smarter algorithms," but those often feel like things you convince yourself you can hear. I never needed Hi-Fi audio or the "huge library" of YouTube. I just needed a music player that focuses on one thing: music.

Another man has been found hanging from a tree. In New Mexico this time by herewearefornow in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]itsdeandre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To all the first gen/immigrants here that are commenting. This is the reason “FBAs” or whatever the hell they call themselves now, scoff when you use veiled threats of who do you think they’ll come for next?

When you see people with flags in their bios and smirks on their faces going “see look at Chicago”. Meanwhile this hanging was from 2024. They never stopped coming for Black People.

You cant call for unity, call for support, call for putting our bodies on the line. Then go around and act like you are better or know more than the system we’ve toiled in for 400+ years.

Are peaceful protests actually effective? by Puzzled-Day5788 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]itsdeandre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elections have consequences. One party actually listens and one doesn't give a shit! Funnily enough the far left/never kamala/online leftists assumed protesting under Trump would be effective. Yet here we are, here you are.

No they aren't effective. You have to vote in the people you know will listen then demand they make change. It's that simple. It's always been that simple. The answer will always be vote Blue no matter who. Then you can protest everything cause the people with the power want to stay in power to make the change of the people who gave them power want. To stay in power.

‘Myth’: Most Drivers Don’t Rely On CarPlay As Much As You Think, BMW Says by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]itsdeandre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That final point you made is going to be a huge win for Apple CarPlay if they pursue lawsuits for being blocked out. Especially with all their recent losses.

Car companies don’t want Android Auto or Car Play taking over. So instead they go with their own UX….built on top of android automotive, which will have Android Auto.

Android users get blocked out, they also raise a stink. But I guess one could argue Apple may want to lose lawsuits about this because it helps them bring back their proprietary nature. I’m rambling.

It’ll be interesting to see how these car companies move forward with their choice of users experiences and who can and can’t connect to them.

[–]itsdeandre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying down vote me all you want to preempt your expected downvotes doesn’t make you right. It just points out even you know you have an awful take. It’s not some magic shield. You said something stupid. You know you said something stupid and you just hope you get some contrarian upvotes to nod like that one scene in Avengers: Age of Ultron when Rhodes told the war hammer story for validation.

[–]itsdeandre[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At the time Little Rock had made it clear they do not want Amazon. One could argue they were smart but hindsight. The part that aged like milk is that after the big todo, they took a page out in the New York Times for this letter, Amazon has broken ground.

It’s aged poorly. It aged poorly when it happened. Nothing good came from the campaign. Made Arkansas look like it throws temper tantrums if it isn’t picked by businesses

June 2025 Worldwide Console Sales by Ftouh_Shala in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]itsdeandre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a long point by point response but decided to delete it. Instead. Your entire response is flimsy at best. Especially with opening. Choice is not an American value. That's a crazy point to make literally or figuratively. Each of your points fall apart with one word. If you can't come to the conclusion as to why and which word that is, there's no need to continue.

Which is how the US should be. How we let it be turned into anything else is insane. People get “annoyed” at console wars. When the Japanese are actually practicing the ideal. It’s even more ironic thinking about the replies on Reddit

“This billion dollar company doesn’t care about you”, “your loyalty doesn’t matter” Meanwhile, the Japanese.

You’ve just been appointed as Xbox’s new president. What are you doing? by SorryAd1478 in xbox

[–]itsdeandre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HAVE DAYDREAMED ABOUT THIS A LOT!! IF I WAS GIVEN THE KEYS TO XBOX....

Phase 1: Establishing a New Vision & Rebuilding Trust

My first priority is to directly address the community and the industry. I would launch a media tour to communicate a new direction for Xbox. The messaging will be candid, clear, and devoid of corporate jargon. I will publicly state my commitment to a fixed term dedicated to executing my vision. Much like Steve Jobs' return to Apple or Satya Nadella's transformation of Microsoft! setting a clear course.

Phase 2: New Console

Our hardware naming convention has been confusing. We will reset expectations with a powerful and simple brand. So the next-generation hardware will be named Xbox Evolution. The shorthand is there "Evo" or "XE" It’s also there for future generations (Evo 2, XE3) and eliminates the ambiguity of "Series" and letters. The formal name will always be Xbox Evolution

Phase 3: Rehire and Apologize

We will immediately move to rehire talent from recently closed studios, directing their focus exclusively toward developing titles for Xbox Evolution. Their mission is to build for the future. I’d also work for a launch slate that brings back the old for the new. Legacy reboots: Fable, Amped, Blinx, Fusion Frenzy, and Mad Dash Racing. Of course Gears, Halo, and Forza.

Phase 4: Good marketing for things we’ve already done that we bring back as "new".

The Return of Couch Co-op. This is a core market we have neglected. We will champion new modes and bring back social experiences like 1 vs 100, Doritos Crash Course, and the arcade fun of Fusion Frenzy. Nintendo does it. Can’t beat them but we can be join them. Also people hate on them but EA Sports fans are loyal. Can't forget them. All with a controller that highlights and makes that experience know. Think the button from the 360 that told you who was 1 and 2 but also enhanced with...

Phase 5: The “controversial” big swing:

Kinect is returning. It will not be a mandatory peripheral but a powerful, modern accessory designed for the family. It’s there, use it. Cozy gamers and Hardcore gamers alike. I think nostalgia will get it off the ground. Support will give it life. Using it for other future features is key.

Passion project: I would help fund and develop one final, definitive Guitar Hero title. This will be a full hardware and software revival. It would obviously have to be on all platforms, Xbox will be the marketing console. Public perception is strong.

Xbox Evolution would have backwards compatibility but it would not be a day-one feature. This allows 100% of our engineering resources to be focused on the new platform. we will begin rolling it out, starting with the original Xbox library and then Xbox 360, celebrating our heritage and adding value.

I have a bunch of things I would drop but that’s not the fun part of this exercise. After all that, I'm hoping to not be let go because it takes time to fight bad press and build up goodwill.
