Pero qué chulada!!!

Now this is an XBOX!

[Emmanuel🐻 @Warmasterchief]

Apenas vi hoy que ya tengo la mía. Muy bien, igual dentro de poco le pego a 200k.

Si no hubiese sido por el ban de mi primer cuenta, esa primera insignia fácil diría 20 o un poco más. Ni modo.

HOLY CRAP! They are doing it! Tiered Gamerscore badges are coming to Xbox profiles!!

@Gaelox Yo creo es más una opción para el estilo de juego o de vida de cada quien.

Por ejemplo por el tiempo en mi vida personal y laboral, el Play Anywhere y el Quick Resume han sido un milagro para los ratos que tengo de juego. El combo PC + Xbox me ha resultado bastante acertado.

[Emmanuel🐻 @Warmasterchief]

Me gusta muchisimo más que el boot actual blanco.

[ASHA @asha_shar]

New boot up coming next Wednesday. Sound on!

@RohanKarMooN cheers from that 2.4% at the bottom😄

Marty at Id did ask for a video from me, but there was a miscommunication about when he needed it, so I didn’t get it done by the actual anniversary…

[RohanKar @RohanKarMooN]

It's funny that some of you are celebrating a game's death but at the same time, y'all were CRYING and hauling for Stop Killing Games initiative to be a success.
There's a limit in hypocrisy and some of you really love to cross it. Even if highguard wasn't my cup of tea, atleast i won't celebrate.

Concord 2 this, Concord 2 that, how about fuck you and stick to fortnite.

[Emmanuel🐻 @Warmasterchief]

@RohanKarMooN Congrats, sir. You are doing an amazing job, thank you.

Cheers from México

9 years ago, i watched a guy get fired for doing the right thing... he built the team, trained everyone, fixed the messes, stayed late, took no credit. the kind of employee companies claim they value.

then he questioned a policy that was quietly screwing junior staff, didn’t insult anyone, didn’t shout. he just asked why... two weeks later: HR invited him and served him some papers saying he’s not a culture fit... then laptop seized, access cut. goodbye.

the manager who created the policy got promoted, the company posted a linkedin thread about psychological safety... bro lost his job for speaking up.

in most companies and workplaces, ethics are tolerated until they challenge authority... you can be loyal, competent and ethical but none of that matters once you threaten someone’s power, ego or comfort.

the system will protect itself first, always and people are replaceable but control is not.

Mil veces prefiero armarme una PC sencilla y jugar buenos juegos clásicos o conseguir una consola de generaciones pasadas y jugar su basto catálogo, que estar rentando computadoras que al final no serán mías.

El futuro es una mugre suscripción.

[Hedgie @HedgieMarkets]

🦔 HP launched a gaming laptop subscription where you pay monthly but never own the hardware. The high-end option is $130/month for an RTX 5080 Omen Max 16. That same laptop costs $2,110 to buy outright, meaning you'd pay the full price in about 16 months but still own nothing.
If you cancel after the first month, you face hefty fees. Canceling the top-tier subscription in month two costs $1,430 plus you have to return the laptop. You can only cancel for free after 13 months, by which point you've paid $1,690 and still have no laptop.

HP's justification: "The traditional upgrade cycle keeps most gamers perpetually one step behind. But with access to a new laptop every year, your subscription breaks that cycle completely."

My Take
This feels like the logical endpoint of the subscription economy. You pay forever, you own nothing, and the company frames it as doing you a favor. HP is betting that people are so conditioned to monthly payments that they won't do the math showing they'd pay full price in 16 months and keep paying after that.

Memory chip prices are up 60% because data centers are consuming everything. Hardware costs are rising. And now HP is using the affordability crisis to push a model where you never build equity in anything you use. We've seen this with software, streaming, cars, and now gaming hardware. The pitch is always about flexibility and staying current. The reality is you're perpetually renting your life from companies that figured out recurring revenue beats selling you something once. At least when you finance a laptop you eventually own it. I don't know how we got to a place where "you will own nothing" stopped being a dystopian warning and became a business model.

Happy 35th Birthday @idSoftware! To celebrate, I made a doc about Catacomb 3D (1991), the 1st texture-mapped FPS. A crucial step just before Wolfenstein 3D, we figured out how to make flat mazes feel like real spaces. The DNA of FPS games starts here.

Happy 35th Anniversary, id Software! From our moonlighting beginnings to co-creating the first-person shooter genre to winning awards, it was an amazing time and proud of the games we all made together! #idSoftware #doom #keen #wolfenstein

While today’s news about the cancelled Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake hit hard and might be disappointing for many of us, it also gives us an opportunity to celebrate the game that started it all. Not just a classic, but a masterpiece that deserves to shine brighter than ever.

We’re happy to say that we’ll be hard at work to bring the original Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time into the GOG Preservation Program as fast as we can!

We know how much this world means to you. While the future is always changing, the greatness of the past is something we can control. We are pouring our hearts into making sure the original Sands of Time does not just run fine. We will make sure it is the best version you have ever played.

To the Prince of Persia community:
We see you, we feel this moment with you, and we stand with you.

Long live the Prince! 💛💜

Regarding the Recent Drama on Repack Scene
Yesterday, Fitgirl posted about her being suspicious on a repacker who might have been injecting malware in his repacks and asked for help on confirming if her doubts were true. Turns out it was someone named Heroskeep who was distributing Monero/XMR miners [Crypto Miners] within their repacks on sites like 1337x and Pirate Bay.

Now i want to be completely transparent with you all, I download the ISOs of games i repack from either myabandonware or internet archive, and https://t.co/9jR8QgUH4x for clean steam files and game cracks as well. I do all of my work on my personal laptop with no VM, which means that there's no chance for taking risk when repacking stuff, and my tester also confirms if the game's safe or not. The mods i download are from safe and legit sites and i always give them credits for full transparency.

I will never for the love of god, inject any kind of malware, adware, crypto-miners or any kind of stuff that might infect your devices, because that goes against my ethics of game preservation, and making them accessible for others. Sure there have been cases of my repacks triggering defender/antivirus as "malware", but it has been always repeated by me and my long-time followers and friends that it is the case of false-positive due to either lack of digital certificates on exe files, or the game's noCD/DVD crack triggering defender since they modify the exe file to run the game without any DRM.

Once again, thank you for believing on me and my repacks, and i promise you that i won't ever disappoint you with such heinous act. There's more repacks to come this year, so please stay tuned.
