I am a father, husband, employee and homeowner and have been since before Xbox. It's because of those I can enjoy my gaming hobby. Keep your focus on the important things. Work hard, play harder.

@AceyBongos I almost pulled the trigger on a wallet, but the $53 shipping killed it for me.

@TrueAchievement Can confirm.

Razer has some good Black Friday deals for the Wolverine V2 Chroma (my daily driver) and the Kishi V2 (worthwhile upgrade from the original).

Whoever made the right click menu so much slower for File Explorer in Windows 11 should be on a performance improvement plan.

@Xbox My first game passed internal testing certification!

@BenOgilvie3 Those are butter tarts, the distillery has a bakery they collaborate with.

Always nice when your cocktail of the month comes in.

[Stephen Rowe @smrnov]

@Xbox Still on it!

[Stephen Rowe @smrnov]

Interesting choice to go hard on a rebrand for your platform that looks suspiciously close to the Close Window button.

[Stephen Rowe @smrnov]

@NBAKirkland @MrBlackMagik Nice on both!

[Stephen Rowe @smrnov]

I like gaming gear, and think there's some nice looking stuff in the Xbox Gear Shop. But I just can't justify $35 or higher plus additional shipping for a t-shirt.

[Stephen Rowe @smrnov]

@MrBlackMagik I've been given the "no more" mandate on hoodies. I'm more picky when it comes to them anyway, not a fan of pullovers.

[Stephen Rowe @smrnov]

@ImayB3urDad True. I have pulled the trigger on some Leafs stuff now and then, but usually when it is on sale/clearance.

[Stephen Rowe @smrnov]

@NBAKirkland I'm sure others would choose Stardew, but that falls in never played it for me.

[Stephen Rowe @smrnov]

There are likely a few I'd move in and out of the list, but my top 25 games (sometimes indicative of a series). Via https://t.co/xr3V6byZ4C

@ian333333 I really enjoyed the online one, but also it's there as part of the series.

@Rand_al_Thor_19 @StephenKing @garywhitta The TV adaptation of Mr. Mercedes was good. Some alterations from the source, but overall very solid.

I'm going to write my own game engine with blackjack and hookers. #Unity
