If you are writing articles about the steam deck price video from Linus Text Tips, did you even watch it? The equivalent machine they put together is a straight up full-on desktop.

None of the issues that miniaturizing parts caused when it comes to cost. Are you this desperate for clicks?

Can someone with a Resetera account go into this toxic af thread and link them to Jez's article today where he refutes MLiD's comment about Xbox prices? I deleted my account years ago.

"They didn’t plan ahead at all " Leaker (MLiD) says Xbox Series prices may increase with MS reportedly telling partners it is coming “very very soon" Microsoft
I worry deeply for the next console lineups that are going to be released in a couple years

Man, the amount of places covering Moore's Law is Dead making a throwaway comment at the end of a long video because it's easy clicks is really disappointing.

This is 99% of internet discourse around every major game.
One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.
AirBnB CEO calling it “vibe revenue” just 👨‍🍳 😘

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Happy Birthday Xbox 360!

Thanks for the memories, and for reminding me that gaming has never been better.

A nostalgic look back at the good ol' days.
The Xbox 360 Was A Golden Era, But It Wasn’t Just About The Games
I think it's pretty undeniable that the Xbox 360 is one of the greatest video game consoles ever made. Released twenty years ago today, it was Microsoft's second stab at cementing themselves as a genuine contender in the 'Console Wars', and undoubtedly their most successful. But as the industry looks back twenty years past, with nostalgia and rose-tinted glasses firmly on, it's worth a gentle reminder. Gaming has never been better than it is right now. The Golden Age

If you make reports out of MLiD rumors then I instantly lose respect for you. The guy has admitted to sensationalizing for clicks, repeatedly.

The first episode of the Arc Raiders series we produced for Embark is now live.

For years folks were asking what happened to the original PvE hero-shooter version of the game.

Well, now you know…

Valve's owner has 6 yachts and bought a company that makes them after securing a 500m one.

Valve's major money makers are lootbox gambling mechanics in their 1st-party titles.

Why do people admire that shitty company so much more than the other shitty video game companies?

Always sad to see those who say they champion indies to ignore so many smaller shows that aren't full of "AAA bangers".
November 21, 2025 at 8:34 PM
Resetera has to realize just how insanely toxic their forums are now, right? Any negative story, especially about Xbox, is full of gaf/iconera level shitposting
November 21, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Today is the day a lot of old people look back at the 360 with rose-tinted glasses because they had far more free time back when it came out. Good system, but gaming has never been better than it is now.
