3. Sarah Bond was part of the old guard. You know, running the plan that didn't work. Her leaving is not that surprising.
4. Satya Nadella is now fully in control of Xbox. He sucks.
5. I just want good games running on good hardware. If new leadership makes that happen, then fine.
Some reactions to today's #Xbox news.
1. Lots of trash revisionist history going on. Phil was a gamer and couldn't turn Xbox around. Don was a game developer and ran it into the ground.
2. Lot's of casual sexism from otherwise trusted voices about the new CEO. ('She's not a real gamer' type shit)
I'm gonna generate a game with the help of Xbox Gaming CoPilot ™️
There's also never been a worse time to make games.
Well. This ruined my morning.
Being a CEO of the Washington Post is the journalist equivalent of buying Warner Brothers. Just not a great idea.
Carhartt is an easy choice for me
The Switch 1 never got past that stage in my opinion.
That’s a very brave and correct opinion.

Destiny 2. Downloaded it again on a whim and it’s impenetrable but still a bucket of fun.
Tomorrow evening! The crossover event of the century!
Also, if you participate, please do something worthwhile. Peaceful protest, volunteer, fundraise. Just don’t treat this like a relaxing day off.
Those who are participating in the General Strike tomorrow, please recognize that being able to do so is a mark of privilege. For many, they can’t cushion a day off with PTO. They will likely be fired for not showing up or for calling off work.
MinnMax is teaming up with @giantbomb.bsky.social this Friday at 5pm Central for an ICE Out charity stream from our studio in Minneapolis.
It'll be simulcast on all channels...

Oh hell yeah, I’m sold! Vanquish rules
back in the day films were well written, were art, they were *about things*
This was a fascinating video. As someone who played games since the late 90’s, I never thought about the perspective of how odd it is that games strive for a level of realism that they can never obtain.
Spoilers: I’m disappointed and bummed out. It could have been so great and it’s just ok. #avatarfireandash
This is my favorite game
Lord knows I'm not a fan of any of this corporate media consolidation — Netflix and Paramount both should be barred from buying WBD.
But in terms of sending a message, would be stellar if everyone watched Good Night and Good Luck on Netflix together next Sunday when 60 Minutes is on the air.
