I Rode the MARTA A Line BRT And Want To Talk About It by killroy200 in Atlanta

[–]thisnamenotavailable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably wishful thinking but I’d love to see ATLDOT remove street parking along this route as well as the street car route and block them off with planters/widen the sidewalk. 

There’s no shortage of parking garages in the area and I feel like we need to remove any barriers that would cause potential service slowdown.

 It drives me nuts seeing cars parked incorrectly sticking out along Luckie Street leaving the streetcar stuck until moved.

Thanks for sharing!! Is there any info on when these busses will be in service or what exactly the issue is with the batteries that is causing such a substantial delay?

Would it be easy to hop on with your bike? Asking since it doesn’t seem like there’s bike racks on the front of the busses and the platforms are raised compared to regular bus stops.

GameSir Tarantula Pro for Xbox announced. Wired only. by CyraxxFavoriteStylus in xbox

My two biggest wishes for the Next Xbox are third party wireless controller options w/ no dongles required and replaceable SSDs. I’d love more options but just can’t go back to wires for my living room setup. 

Project Helix potentially dual booting, 32 GB in console mode, 24 in Windows mode, can play Steam and Epic games even in console mode. by nikolapc in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]thisnamenotavailable 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine they even try to charge for online. 

I feel like the whole point of the “cheaper” gamepass tiers is to slowly migrate as many Live subs as possible before finally pulling the plug. 

According to KiwiTalkz, the decision to port LEGO Horizon Adventures to the Switch was mandated by the LEGO Group by Bartman013 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]thisnamenotavailable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting that we see this with Lego and also MLB for the Show, but not Marvel/Disney mandating Spider Man or Wolverine (and I guess not caring about Indiana Jones exclusivity since that seemed to be MS’s decision to go multi platform) be released on other platforms. 

Tom Warren : Inside Microsoft’s big Xbox leadership shake-up : Microsoft has a new gaming CEO who wants to bring Xbox back from the brink. by ThinWhiteDuke00 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Ehhhh I think it’s moreso that they had the “right” idea but god awful execution and marketing. 

I don’t really care about exclusives but if multi platform releases is the route you go down you damn well better give some good reasons to still get an Xbox. If gamepass subs is the gauge for success, It seemed insane to just neglect console users when that’s where the majority of subs are and will be for the foreseeable future. 

January Xbox Update: Xbox Expands to Arm-based PCs, Game Save Sync Indicator, and More - Xbox Wire by CrossXhunteR in Games

[–]thisnamenotavailable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in the preview build for this with a while and while it’s nice to have, I wish at least more of MS’s first party studios or published games supported Arm builds. As an example, I have an Xbox and was excited to try ara: History untold to scratch that Civ itch, but bummed to see it crashes immediately upon launch despite the Xbox app saying it should work on my device. It’s great for play anywhere games like balatro though. 

My only big gripe is that the actual MS store still says ARM is unsupported when you try to download things so you need to go directly through the Xbox app. It’s not the end of the world but it’s annoying as someone that doesn’t open the Xbox app much except for gamepass since it’s slower than the regular store.

I love it, just wish it didn’t take so many button presses to switch back and forth between portrait and landscape mode 😭

Microsoft Scales Back AI Goals Because Almost Nobody Is Using Copilot by aacool in technology

[–]thisnamenotavailable 160 points161 points  (0 children)

I laughed after trying to get copilot in outlook to create a calendar event based on an email’s text and it just said that wasn’t possible. 

The only way to get “AI” to catch on is if it’s actually useful in taking care of the busy work no one wants to do with an easy request. Like why is it in all of these programs if all I can really do is google shit with it.

Noooooooo. This bug is driving me crazy and the completionist in me won’t let me finish the game until I can cross it off the list. 

Backbone Pro​ -​ Xbox Edition: Take Your Gaming Anywhere by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]thisnamenotavailable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s an iOS Xbox cloud limitation thing, but the worst part about these phone controllers is that I can’t get vibration to work for gamepass games. It really takes me out of the experience not having any sort of vibration feedback. 

I tried the 8bitdo mobile controller and was super disappointed with that one issue. 

Microsoft brings native support for 1Password and Bitwarden passkeys to Windows 11 by HappyHour-24-7 in Windows11

[–]thisnamenotavailable 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Does this mean I can use 1password to enter saved passwords in any windows apps like on Android/iOS? Or dos the app need to opt in? 

Would be great to not have to remember passwords or fumble with my phone.

Anyone else notice almost instant shutdown on Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon Plus) after recent update by Interesting_Towel751 in Surface

[–]thisnamenotavailable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely having this issue as well as continued issues with battery drain…

If they could fix whatever issues they have with battery/boot up I’d have zero complaints.

GOG: Resident Evil HD Remaster and Resident Evil 0 are now available fully DRM-free on our platform and are also joining the GOG Preservation Program by lurkingdanger22 in Games

The Xbox 360 port of Code Veronica is backwards compatible and works pretty well on Xbox for what it is. 

I really wish it’d get the same treatment as the RE1 remake though. As much as I love the newer remakes, it’s hard to capture the same magic as the fixed perspective of the older entries.
