XBOX is set to lay off 3,200 employees β€’ 20% of its workforce β€’ No studios were shut down today β€’ None of the first party publicly announced games are canceled β€’ Compulsion Games & Double Fine will become independent β€’ Ninja Theory & Undead Labs have been sold β€’ Reviewing options with Arkane

Valve’s Steam Machine Pre-Order and Launch Date may have leaked. - Pre-orders drop June 30. - We’re likely getting the full price reveal on June 23. - Valve is finally doing a proper living room PC console. If they overprice it? DOA. What’s your "buy" price for this to be a success?

With the price increase of the Steam Deck OLED 1TB model, the Xbox Ally X now seems like the best bang for your buck. And if you want Steam Deck-like performance at that ~$500 range. The Xbox Ally seems like the way to go now.

The Steam Controller has been the easiest controller to open up. The repairability is absolutely insane. Sony, Nintendo, and Xbox don't want you to have this much access and ease of repair.

I'm sure all the techies out there are like me and are the families "repair" guy when something tech breaks. I've opened up my fair share of joy cons, DualSense, and Xbox Series Controllers. The Steam Controller is a breath of fresh air by comparison when opening it up.

#PAXEast was awesome! Got reunited with old friends, made some new ones, and connected with others IRL. Good times all around. Good to be back home. 🀟

πŸ“½οΈNew VideoπŸ“½οΈ The Hideo Kojima ASUS Flow Z13 is absolutely wild in every aspect, including price. This Collector's Piece is just so damn beautiful. It's perfect for any fan of Kojima or Yuji Shinkawa's work. πŸ‘‡Link BelowπŸ‘‡

πŸŽ₯NEW VIDEO OUT! This has been a labor of love when it comes to the #LegionGo2. It has all the bells and whistles that we've been asking for in a PC Handheld. With how expensive things are becoming, is this worth the cost? πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡Link BelowπŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

Checking out the ASUS XG Mobile with a 5090. Time to push the Xbox Ally X and see what it can really do when paired with this eGPU. #ASUS #XboxAllyX #PC #Nvidia #pcmasterrace

Default Game Profiles are out in Preview for the Xbox Ally and Ally X. It's awesome! This is exactly the type of ease of use that should be associated with the Xbox brand on a PC Handheld. I hope more features like this are in the future. #XboxAllyX #XboxAlly #Xbox #PC #ASUS

How much do you think the Steam Machine is going to be? I've seen people quote $400-$500. Others $500-$600. Personally, I think this will be starting at $700-$800. I could be totally off my rocker, and I hope I am.

Two things come to mind with the new Steam Machine. 1. This thing SHOULD be sold in stores. If it's next to a console at Best Buy, it will sell (assuming the price is near a PS5 Pro or XSX). 2. Half Life 3 should also be the default launch title for this, right?

I did an upper body workout for the first time in almost a month since getting a second-degree burn. But I had to take it easy and not lift heavy. (Doc's orders) Man, do I miss it. But it's good to be healing and getting back into the swing of things.

ASUS and Xbox have done a lot here, but it's not perfect. Both the Xbox Ally and Ally X have taken a great first step, but there's much more polish that needs to happen. Done uploading my video review! I want to dive deeper and talk more about the #XboxAllyX #XboxAlly πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡LinkπŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

I know I'm late on posting my video(s) on the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X. I've got some things cooking.
