Silent Hill 2 on PSN Plus is the first thing I've been interested in on the service for as long as I can remember.

There is no greater repellant to my wanting a new video game playing device than to tell me it comes with Teams preinstalled.

I've worked for my share of bad companies that I was a good employee for, United Healthcare for example. Didn't stop the company from doing shitty things and me being glad when they caught hell for it.

Oh wait, I did a stint for Microsoft as well. 😂

a very @giantbomb.bsky.social tech review of the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X

this bears repeating: the Xbox Ally *does not* play Xbox Console games. It plays PC Xbox games. This surprised many people during the stream.

Glad to see the Xbox Ally getting trashed because there is no part of Microsoft these days that deserves a win, let's be honest.

Microsoft has never really done the work to put Windows in a mobile space, phones, tablets, gaming handhelds, or otherwise. They've been mostly happy to ride the wave of popularity that the Windows name brings and hope for the best. This doesn't seem any different.

I enjoyed Legacy, it didn't have any real vision or story that made sense, but I liked the spectacle of it. This seems pretty similar. I imagine it'll maintain some sort of cult status over the next few decades as a result.

Thanks to signing bonuses, the minute BS goes down, they'll have ICE teams at the front door of every member to take them into custody.

From what I understand, it's playing Windows games natively, but since it's still just Windows 11, it's streaming any XBox game that doesn't have a Windows version, unless I'm misreading, it's not Windows doing any sort of emulation.

Teams, Recall and OneDrive installed on this thing is a head scratcher. I thought this was supposed to be some stripped down OS version made specifically to improve gaming.

XBox Ally seems about what I expected, overpriced and undercooked. Not sure who you're marketing a $1000 handlheld to in this economy when it's still essentially just a streaming box for actual XBox titles.
