Xbox's disc-to-digital feature has been in insider testing for about a month now, and momentum is picking up as SEGA seems to have joined in. Now we're just waiting for Bandai Namco and Square Enix to follow.

You might say the USMNT lucked into an easy group, but they went out and did exactly what the Pot 1 teams are supposed to do: make everyone who has to face them look inferior. A lot of other good teams this World Cup have failed to do so against much weaker competition.

I had been looking forward to this since the US was awarded the tournament. It will be an abject failure. Because we put a lunatic in the White House.

NEW @TheAthleticFC Fans from several countries participating in the World Cup must deposit up to $15,000 in bond payments to receive a tourist visa to enter the USA, while FIFA is *still* pressing Trump administration for exemptions for players. www.nytimes.com/athletic/713...

Feels like an OK time to mention that the Guardian does not take ad money from sports betting companies and we just hired three of the best U.S. soccer journalists around.

This knee jerk expectation that Microsoft would need to move their former AI head into Xbox leadership role to make Xbox focus on AI is a strange one. I have no idea how she'll do but she's specifically rolling out of an AI focused role.

Sometimes I think about how the *good* outcome is that, for the rest of my life, our country is involved in a mass de-Nazification project. If we're lucky, that's what being an American is for the next 40 years.

FSE xbox launcher while functional is clearly not designed for controller first. There are UI elements that only really make sense for a mouse like the small back icon, when B should suffice. Steam Big Picture mode should be blueprint for xbox. Don't compact a mouse experience, create a new one.

#XboxRogAllyX secured. Woman at best buy said 15 people came in at opening trying to buy but they were all dedicated to pre orders. Will be curious to see how this sells. #xbox #AsusROG

First road trip with the R1S. For all the things I hate about Elon, my hate didn't extend to my Model Y which has been a great car for my family and I never thought about my charging experience on SC network. Good to see Rivian has been just as seamless so far. #Rivian

Grew up playing video games and watching my son very rapidly start understanding hand eye coordination with some games we played has been fun. But today? To see him in a matter of minutes understand how a mouse interacts with a screen in Valorant at age 3? Proud papa.

I'll always love gaming on a console/PC but there is something magical about cloud gaming in my hotel in a shitty TV using a fire stick to pass the time before dinner. #xbox #xcloud
