Normalize telling C level people they are being stupid. Saying you want to see the amount of players you serve in 1 year served in 1 day is not a goal, its obvious stupidity. You would be laughed out of any job you started if you spoke like that. Why is it fine for C level people? #XboxLayoffs

I'll never understand why leadership never have to pay any price. Not to single out Phil Spencer but he is simply rich and doing whatever he wants, his career has no black mark on it despite his leadership leading Xbox to this. Decisions are top down and their impacts bottom up. #XboxLayoffs

I hope no one is fooled by #GTA6 being digital only. Rockstar wants no used copies. They want a cut of every copy ever sold and they want to control the price of every copy ever sold. Tha'ts it. Install size could have been argument with a mandatory download.

@remapradio.bsky.social FYI I got an ad for Polymarket in the pre roll for #142 Entering our 40's era.

I would personally like to credit / blame @agingwheels.bsky.social & @techconnectify.bsky.social for this purchase. Both of your extensive coverage of EVs and living with them rapidly accelerated my own adoption. I look forward in joining Alec in bemoaning Hyundai's very bad precondition system.

Remap PAX meetup at the Westin but when is the @shiftf1podcast.bsky.social meetup at the F1 Arcade bar in Boston?

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I have never been so bad at a games core mechanic without it impacting my enjoyment more then Dispatch. I think I was in the bottom 99% for the entire back half.

The Internet's uncritical glazing of Steam is so embarrassing. Its 2025 and for whatever reason a private monopoly owned by a billionaire receives nothing but flowers as it skims off the top of all of PC gaming.

#PAXEast ticket prices will be: $250 - Weekend $70 - Thu $70 - Fri $77 - Sat $70 - Sun An increae on all days an a hike on Saturday for a con that still has not recovered to pre covid vendor attendance stings more and more each year @officialpax.bsky.social east.paxsite.com/en-us/regist...

I love Crowd Control, but having a self-IDed exorcist who talked about SA was not funny given that we know ghosts are not real, and that these situations are mental illness at best and actual physical abuse most frequently. It was a small part of the episode, but still a big bummer. @dropout.tv

@jackboxgames.com FYI your Game Sale page does not reflect any sales on Switch despite your games being on sale.

In this nightmare of scarcity capitalism its so weird to just. Buy a Switch 2 a few weeks out from launch from Best Buy. You cannot deny that Nintendo really did crush the production numbers for the Switch 2

Fucking brutal. We will really miss you #Polygon imgur.com/a/5hPhSuS

@danryckert.com & @grubb.wtf I know this is like the last thing on your mind at the moment, but will y'all still be on for your East panels next weekend? Would love to shake yall's hands and get a room full of people to scream fuck Fandom.

@officialpax.bsky.social Any PAX Lines account up and running yet? Trying to begin to build out my PAX East 2025 lists on here

@captain2phones.bsky.social Hey Michael, apropos of nothing that could possibly be in an upcoming video, how useable is Oppo's ColorOS stateside? Is it worth considering importing the Find N5 or should we just stick it out to see if OnePlus converts the next one?

Not Like Us winning a staggering 5 Grammys does help this week start on a sweeter note.

Looking at the Steam community page for Spider-Man 2 really does drive home how bad Valves libertarian attitude towards people's speech on Steam is.

Nothing like the sweet sting of a new Gamepass tittle of your favorite franchises, and its half baked and bad. At least it saved me $30.

If I wanted to see Trumps posts, I would be where he is. Can we maybe not just screenshot his nonsense and post it here with little more then: "Isn't this scary?!" It is. I cannot do anything about it. I do not want to see it. Its why I am here and not on Truth Social.

That about sums it up.

I was doing so good today until I opened my news app.

The TikTok ban has really really made me realize how much that app filled any second of downtime. I'm reaching for it constantly.

The US government handling of the TikTok ban is so haphazard and obviously disorganized. Between all of Trump and this pathetic attempt at a ban I have vanishingly little belief in any of our institutions to do anything.

They aren't even calling it the Super Switch 😔

Balatro on mobile is so exciting because now I can lose super hard in CVS waiting are and not just my couch!

It's so fun leaving fascist websites. I look forward to trying to recreate my old Twitter feed a second time.
