it isn't that Phil did anything wrong, he is a nice guy, and I prefer to listen to him rather than listening to..., say, Major Nelson when he was in the Xbox division. Sometimes he is too nice but he sounds fine. He kept the Xbox afloat after the disastrous XB1 launch. Phil's fault imho is that...

yes, it's more decent now. There is a lot of room for improvement though. A great thing about gamepass is that it quite a few family friendly games to play with my 6 and my 4 y.o. nephews. Aside from Paw Patrol games, there are games like Peppa Pig (though not truly a coop game, but both can...

mobile phones exist since eons ago. They didn't explode as gaming devices 'cos they aren't just meant for that. Gamepads for mobile phones also exist since many years ago, but they are devices for calling people, social stuff and battery life and portability are more important. My best...

new refund policy update. Many users played early access games, which didnt have the 2 hours of gameplay limitation, and then asked for a refund when they completed a certain early access game. https://store.steampowered.com/news/collection/steam/?emclan=103582791457287600&emgid=4195741362094579140

the future of the Xbox is quite intriguing and interesting. They could go with the initial idea of Xbox 1, which I purchased in 2005, my first console, 'cos it was like a PC, it had a hard drive and a Pentium III with a nVidia GPU. What I don't see if them returning to a traditional console...

that's so very true. Sure many games look impressive, but when I played Resident Evil 2 Remake 5 years ago, sometimes -especially the models- it looked very close to real life to me. Even my best friend told me, when Claire opens the door of the gas station at the very beginning "wow, look at...

it can even strip out the Windows UI. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/tiny11-gets-a-major-update-can-now-be-used-to-trim-down-any-windows-11-image

that's horrible. I wonder why they bothered to begin with. Maybe Steam is taking the matter into their own hands? From a @GhostofWar post: https://forum.beyond3d.com/threads/steam.63539/post-2336526

this new Manjaro handheld, the Orange Pi which I saw in a thread opened by @eastmen is the typical handheld console when it comes to specs, but it has a few interesting details, specially this: https://neo.manjaro.org/ The gyroscope can be seen in action while playing Portal in the video...

from your link, I am glad that someone finally realised what I highlight in bold below --especially taking into account that a lot, if not most, of new Windows based PCs are purchased by (PC) gamers, so this could help Windows too-...

it's Tom Warren, he kinda has a direct connection. They must make it work as expected. This would open up the opportunity to beat Steam at something; optimization and standards. A certified Xbox/Xboy whatever experience can bring it closer to the best things of console which are easy carefree UI...

Manjaro was my favourite linux distro, aesthetically wise. This is the thing that surprises me the most about this handheld. That, the gyroscope and how it works on Portal and the price.

Here's how the new way to download apps from the Microsoft Store web works. It's faster than ever.
