Honestly, I'm surprised the 360 store was still up and running. At least purchases can still be downloaded and backward compatibility means most of these games will still be accessible.

Just showed up one day and made himself at home? Keeps falling asleep? Terry and the cats are kindred spirits.

Xitter? Are people not just continuing to call it Twitter? Maybe if it ever becomes the everything app Musk wants it to be it will be distinct enough to justify a rebrand, but for right now it's just Twitter with the name filed off.

Is there any other way to eat a mozzarella stick? Assuming the cheese hasn't leaked out.

It sounds like a dumb idea, but I kind of see where he's coming from at least that it would be easier for developers. Admittedly consoles today are a lot closer in specs than they use to be, but you still have issues crop up like Larian Studios having to delay BG3 for Series X because they have to get split-screen working on Series S before it can launch. So I can see the appeal of only having to develop games on one console. But I don't really see the benefit to players, since whoever made the one console would have a monopoly on the market.

I mean I don't think the pirates needed their permission, but it's a nice gesture at least. Accepting the reality that people will pirate your games makes for much better PR than trying to crack down on it through DRM.

It's the perfect system! Surely this will never backfire on us.

I would say B. Also, you would need a bigger basket for the head to fall into and probably a few more people on hand if you wanted to lift the head up to display to the crowd.

Why just ruin a web browser when you can try and ruin the entire internet?

Interesting read. I wasn't even aware games on vinyl were a thing, but I guess it makes sense that people would at least try it out as a medium for data storage.

Honestly, given that it's EA I'm surprised the servers for the PS3/360 games weren't shut down years ago. Seems like the sort of thing they would have done in the middle of the PS4/Xbox One generation. Also surprised that Dante's Inferno had a PSP release and that it had online features.

I'm on Kbin.social because it was being recommended a lot when all the Reddit stuff was happening and there weren't any hoops to jump through when signing up.
