Hah, how come the store listing is all funky!?! When I did the original 300mb stub pre-load a few weeks ago it was able to be installed. People are having a hard time with it now, though.

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

SHf has I think 4 endings! they're all cool and worth seeing and new game+ is really smartly integrated. Use a guide and it's a few hours for each.

'SOPA - Tale of the Stolen Potato' is a funny and charming adventure title that encapsulates Latin American culture in its visual style and music. Even if it is a rather unpolished experience.

Check out our review of the game right over here!

SOPA – Tale of the Stolen Potato | Review

Apparently the grandest of adventures can start over the oddest of material objects. Namely, in 'SOPA - Tale of the Stolen Potato', developer StudioBando has us take on the role of a young boy named Miho as he attempts to help his Nana finish her soup. All she needs is a potato, but the pantry where said potato lies is actually a portal of sorts to another world where frogs muck about and Nana's potato sack is now nowhere to be found thanks to a purple frog with a big attitude.

If he meets his character's fate like in the comics, which the show is nothing like (in a good way), it won't be so bad.

It's like the "no one likes stupid skins!" as those skins practically carry the industry

And I get it, Microsoft is an awful company overall. They haven't actually shifted their main strategy that often, lately, around Xbox.

It is 'go everywhere, get all the money', but people are still in the "box is king" mindset.

People hate/distrust Xbox enough that every time they say "it's a part of our platform" they refuse to believe it and think that Xbox is expecting 95% of their revenue in GP within 5 years.

Tired: Subscription is THE future of video games

Also tired: Subscription has NO future in video games

Not really wired but better than the other two: Subscription is just one part of the options available, will work for some players/games, won't work for others. It's fine.

Jilted ex-fanatics and a forum post from someone who knows but always couches news like this in the worst-case scenario, led to people thinking no Xbox backwards compatible hardware would ever exist again.

There are presently no plans to cancel any planned Xbox hardware. The plans outlined by Sarah Bond and AMD, multi year partnership for first party hardware - they're still the plans as of right now.

No, Xbox's next gen console hardware plans aren't cancelled — for now, but it's a problem that it was really easy to believe

Rumors are swirling that Xbox is going to kill its hardware ecosystem. It's not true ... for now, but it easily could've been true, given how nonsensically Xbox acts lately.
