Twitter kinda sucks now, but eh. Editor-in-Chief of @PSXExtreme (oldest PlayStation news site)

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

Remember a long time ago I mentioned how we would do our own cloud gaming service?
We're one step closer to making that a reality.

[TFCL @TF2League]

We've upped our Alpha Season 2 prize pool from $500 to $504.

Yes, this is real.

@NVIDIAGeForce #RTXOn Recently upgraded my whole PC, could use a library update to go along with that.

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

Why does PlayStation have "hours of operation" if nobody's working during the "hours of operation"?

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

@BillWiIdin Should probably add "if gaming is a hobby" to that.
If you game professionally, and make a decent living by doing so, I don't see it as a problem.

[TFCL @TF2League]

We know you've got a few questions for us, so that's why we're hosting another Q&A stream!

The fact bakkesmod doesn't exist anymore because Epic Games was too lazy to fix the problem and instead did the nuclear option by removing every mod, is really shitty.

Anyway, use code SIDULAR in the item shop!

@alucardkyos @Beastiarii @Gamefan1992 @asha_shar Like a PC?

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

“Games are getting more expensive!”
Am I the only one that doesn’t really care if I gotta pay $80 USD for the latest game?

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

@wllmlew @getonthestiix Anything beyond what I've already said would just be speculation.

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

@getonthestiix Basically, we got a copy weeks in advance, which is pretty typical. What isn’t typical is they restricted us to playing the game on March 5th, just like everyone else. Downside of a live service game I suppose.

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

@getonthestiix If it helps at all, we’re taking this into account with our review. They don’t get a free pass here.
They also made it virtually impossible for anyone to review the game, as everyone got access the day of release. This isn’t very common, and is another reason reviews are delayed

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

@MrJmoneyDeus It’s a useful feature. Swapping between games, not so much. For me at least. But being able to swap to an app, or turn the Xbox off entirely and come back a few days later, only for my game to pick up right where I left it? Yeah, that’s useful.

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

@astaranx What realistically makes an Xbox, an Xbox? The hardware is not unique, and the operating system is basically just a locked down copy of Windows. (Makes for easy porting)

Xbox is an ecosystem. It’s just a way to game, and that won’t be dying any time soon.

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

@KeionJ05 It’s an OK game. Not the best in the series, and I question a lot of choices Nintendo made, especially in regards to its online stuff. However, it’s not bad. It’s just not the pinnacle of MK

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

@DaReelSebas Yeah, as others said, GTA is a whole different breed. If they put it on a PS2 and made it run at a resolution of 5x5 and 3 fps people would still buy it.

Releasing PS5 games on PC day and date will naturally result in more sales, but I don’t think it’s as much as people think

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

Sigh. I know I’m just posting this to a feed that’s run by someone other than Mark himself, but oh well. It makes me feel better to discuss this even if my words land on deaf ears.

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

@MarkJCarney I know you won’t read this but who cares.
Don’t ban social media for children. A parent of a child should be the one that dictates what their children can do online, not you as the government.

Perhaps focusing on education is a better use of your resources?

[Sidular (PSX Extreme) @Sidular]

If you educate parents on the perceived dangers of social media, and educate them on how to use the child safety tools that most devices (like routers) already have, then that eliminates the problem.

Again, the government is meant to govern, not to become a pseudo parent.
