@doesitplay.org Dying to hear from you on Halo for PS5 soon. I have heard it requires logging into a Microsoft account, even to play solo, which would effectively mean there is NO offline mode.

Skybox gave me space to talk about decoupling your enjoyment of video games from the release schedule, by looking backwards at what's new to you. Emulate, mod original hardware, borrow, pirate, I don't care how you do it. There's more to games than a future filled with $1,000 consoles.
Play old games: They’re good and good for you by @marcnormandin.bsky.social "There are better ideas for weathering this particular storm than taking financial advice from a company that seemingly buys studios just to close them." Read on:

when frank of all people - someone who has done more than anybody to take the high road - is telling you this, you know shit is dire. imo it's also a moral dispensation. go crazy out there folks
As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

Nice to see such a strong showcase from @xbox.com today. As a huge Gears of War fan, I’m very excited for E-Day but also kind of bummed to see it is Xbox exclusive. I worry this will hurt the longevity by limiting the audience. If Gamepass then limits the sales, what’s that mean for the series?

I say this a lot but it bears repeating: the best thing Twitter did was let everyone talk back to media people who have never been talked back to before, on a service they were maniacally obsessed with and couldn’t bear look away from, even as they drove themselves more and more insane looking at it
the one thing these people cannot countenance is being Accurately Described. all of this is happening because the internet provided a means for people to Accurately Describe them to their faces. and they lost their fucking minds

"The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law"
Holy shit this piece will melt some eyeballs. Writer argues Dems need to take drastic, even once-unimaginable tactics in response to Voting Rights Act being gutted. He writes: "Patience is the enemy now" and we have to stop asking people for it. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

@jronald13.bsky.social I saw your callout to Xbox owners about the 360 backward compatible issues but I don’t have an X account so I thought I’d try you here. I’m one of the more frequent posters on the Reddit thread for the issue and have provided the support team with lots of material.
@grubb.wtf @tolkoto.com @jeffgerstmann.com Sending out a flare to my fave podcasters about an Xbox issue I’m hoping you can help make noise over. Have you heard about ppl unable to play 360 games on new hardware units? www.reddit.com/r/XboxSuppor...
