At this point the monthly CU or Security Update depending on which it gets named is 3-4 GB. I wish we could go back to talking about KB or even MB instead of GB.

I remember talking to someone that there was an idea to keep a WIM in the recovery partition in case it was needed for reinstalling. Unfortunately there was fear people would complain of losing 8 GB of drive space for it.

64 - License to Drive released in 1988. The Corey's in one of their big '80's comedies. Very much a cheesy '80's teen comedy.

I live near MSFT campus and many Amazon people in my neighborhood too. Once went to local pizza place and literal line of Lamborghini and Ferrari parked there. It was then that I realized I was in a different place.

63 - Die Hard released in 1988. Bruce Willis blasts onto the scene as an action star. Alan Rickman is an amazing villain as well. The Christmas movie or not thing doesn't matter, it is just a good movie.

62 - Big released in 1988. Every '80's kid dreamed about this movie happening to them. Just skip over the adult sleeping with a kid part.

Ask copilot to make a list of copilot. Sort of like when a compiler can recreate itself. I am sure it will turn out great.

I still remember when Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb used to post stats on his blog of most played games. They weren't hard numbers but much better than any hard data coming out of Microsoft now.

They pre-leaked this so they could have conversations at GDC with less leak potential?

It is funny to me that I bought this when it was originally released alongside the 3DS game a decade ago and somehow it is still for sale and costs even more.

61 - Beetlejuice released in 1988. Tim Burton, Micheal Keaton, and Danny Elfman are a powerful combo. They worked together on so many classics. Was scary as a kid.

60 - The Running Man released in 1987. One of the early Arnold action flicks. It is very '80's action but in the best way I think.

This is one thing I miss being a one man team. No one to bounce things off of.

59 - The Princess Bride released in 1987. One of the all-time comedy classics. One of the prime Gen-X movies. Any movie with Billy Crystal and Andre the Giant has to be good. Many quotes frequently used still.

58 - Summer School released in 1987. I think due to the music video for Mind over Matter this stuck in my head more. Also, some early Danny Elfman on the soundtrack. Mark Harmon and Kristie Alley early in their careers.

57 - RoboCop released in 1987. Likely via cable I watched this too young for sure. It is pretty gruesome at times. There are many scenes and quotes from this movie that are frequently used.

56 - Raising Arizona released in 1987. The second Coen brothers film. The one I think they were first known for. A dark comedy with a great young Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter.

55 - Masters of the Universe released in 1987. This is a bad movie ok. I know that. At the same time, it just classic '80's silly. A part of my childhood. Never played with the toys even.

54 - Lethal Weapon released in 1987. Buddy cop '80's action film. One of the great Richard Donner films. The second one was good, 3&4 not as much. I am sure I watched it years after release on cable.

Hey @matpiscatella.bsky.social a question that maybe you can answer or might have and I missed it. Are Sony PlayStation PC ports successful sales wise? Like Last of Us did it sell 10% of overall on PC or more? Recently rumors of Sony ending PC ports make me wonder. Heard on podcasts this week. Thx!

53 - Innerspace released in 1987. This is a very '80's comedy action film. Really something that hasn't been made much in last 20 years. Martin Short being amazing with his physical comedy.

52 - Dragnet released in 1987. Silly and cheesy comedy but Hanks and Aykroyd make it fun. Not a great movie really but one I remember watching.

So you watched the hockey? They were doing you a favor.

Just watched Crime 101. It is not as good as Heat but first movie in a decade that gave me Heat vibes.

How much of a bump does adding older games to Game Pass provide? Things like recently Star Wars Outlaws or soon Avatar?

This is probably a silly question because I assume the answer is yes, but I am curious. Do you have editors in each language? It is translated but then does an editor go through it again to make sure it doesn't have any weirdness post translation?
