I really, really hate that people are losing their jobs but I think it's good long-term for the industry that the Microsoft/Xbox strategy of "just buy all the studios" has spectacularly blown up in their faces and hopefully serves as a cautionary tale

Someone asked me if I get weirded out being recognized in public now. Not really? This is maybe the 5th time. I'm just never prepared for the worlds to merge. I definitely don't go around dressed up with perfect hair. I'm usually just in workout stuff. It's fun but it does throw me off a tad. 😅

BREAKING: Obsidian Entertainment is making a big pivot as part of the Xbox restructuring. It has laid off a quarter of its staff, canceled a planned sequel to Avowed, and is now beginning work on a new Fallout game, according to people familiar with the plans www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

WELL THEN

Take one guess what team he did it against

Just got recognized in the grocery store again lmao HOW

Kevin LaChapelle, the Xbox Platform VP who was the architect of the backwards compatibility program that was revived recently and the Xbox Cloud Gaming service, was among one of the 4,800 layoffs at Microsoft. He began working at Microsoft in 1989. www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/...

So I'm trying to request human support from Xbox. I still can't log in to Master Chief Collection on Steam despite all my info being 100% correct. As you can see, their AI chatbot isn't exactly handling it well...

Xbox laying off ~1600 employees today (8%) as it announces "most significant restructure" in its history: ▪️Double Fine/Compulsion Games are going independent ▪️Ninja Theory/Undead Labs have been sold off ▪️Arkane is reviewing "potential strategic options" news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/0...

I gotta say I am really surprised at how well the Zelda streams have been going and the amount of new follows from them. Almost as if they're popular or something! Thanks, everyone.

Interesting issue. I went to fire up Master Chief Collection on Steam to play around with the controller. It asks me for my MS name/password. It tells me my password is wrong. It's 100% correct. I opened a clean browser and logged into MS' website successfully with it. Anyone else dealt with this?

Minimize? Stop fucking doing it entirely. This isn't her first rodeo with this shit. Also, streaming while driving should be outright banned on Twitch anyways.

I'm seeing a lot of people re-post that old video of Shuhei Yoshida & Adam Boyes showing how to share games on PS4 and saying, "Well that aged like milk." I don't think a lot of you understand what that expression means because what milk is still good after 13 years? That video was made in 2013. 😂

In my senior year of high school in 2002, our current events teacher put us all into groups at the end of the year and told us to videotape our lives outside of school for our final project. She expressly said if we turned in a tape that was just an episode of Jackass, we would get an automatic F.

Yes I'm bored because my living room is being chewed up, but I promise I'm done with this topic after this (maybe). I need someone really petty to keep track of everyone calling for Sony boycotts who end up playing GTA6 because this picture is still one of the funniest (and truest) things ever made.

In case you're wondering how the Sony digital discourse is going, I just saw someone on Threads compare someone who innocently stated they preferred digital games as basically the same as.........wanting to ban mail-in voting. ???????????????? This is why nothing can be discussed online anymore.

Trying to remind myself there's two dudes in my house ripping up my living room right now before I start ripping huge burps

I am really enjoying the Donkey Kong 64 recomp vibe coding vs. human coding war going on right now. And SHOCKINGLY the human coded version runs a lot better!! 😱

I have a weird relationship with gaming and physical media. I'm a touch and feel guy. I like holding something. But in our world of frequent updates, the game you get on the disc does not usually end up the same as the game on your hard drive. Movies/TV shows can't be dynamically altered like that.

Texas passed an age assurance law that requires Bluesky to verify the age of users. This law was paused by a judge and then unpaused by an appeals court, so we are preparing to comply. If you saw an age assurance notice today, that's why. Read about the law here: ccianet.org/news/2026/05...

The Verge: MS currently weighing closing at least five studios including Arkane Studio (Blade) and exploring options to sell Arkane Studio Xbox layoffs reportedly starting July 6th. "the layoffs will lead to studio closures or spinoffs, potential mergers of studios, and canceled games."

I think I found my new stream channel trailer

Do you think the PlayStation 6 will still yell at you for not turning it off properly, or will they finally just silently do whatever that bullshit is in the background and let you live your life?
