and as we all know, taste justifies every kind of cruelty. /s

das bleibt hier alles so wie es ist und da wird sich hier nichts dran rütteln!

not only industry and sector dependent, also dependent on the country. at least in my personal bubble (in Germany), remote work is still very common. I also heard from companies who openly advertise remote work and get much more job applications because of it.

I don’t expect it to be as bugged as previous releases. they were often fighting against a set timeline. this time it sounds like Microsoft urged them to postpone the release to make sure that the game is more polished. and recent interviews also sounded like there are hundreds of people playtesting the game right now. so I expect it to have less bugs then usual… mainly because of Microsofts involvements.

I always wanted to play the first Red Dead Redemption. it was one of the first games I bought for the Series S. that was before there were rumors about an actual remake of the game for current generations.

yeah, same. from all the ones I tried, I stuck with Liftoff. seems like the most functional and simplistic one to me.

ah great, the VSC lottery deciding the race.

as usual, Max ruining the fun for everyone.

yeah… and I just checked Skyrim and FO4 on the Xbox store. both of them don’t have “Xbox play anywhere” and therefore no shared saves. so it’s likely the same for Starfield.

And I get the thing about the mods. I was still hoping for cross platform saves, because I haven’t really decided yet whether I want to play on Xbox or PC. and it would suck to start over again after having played for several hours on one platform.

tbf it only says that you can play on both platforms… that doesn’t necessarily mean that the progression is shared.

here, have my upvote. but please don’t tell anyone.

It just confuses me a little this happens to a game that is being waited for so badly. If they would be confident to successfully sell their game to end users, they wouldn’t need to force it on AMDs customers.

that’s true. i think there are two sides to it. on the one hand, there are also a lot of people upgrading their system specifically for Starfield… for those people, a Ryzen CPU/GPU gets a lot more attractive if the game they are building their new rig for comes with it and you save those 70 bucks. on the other hand, Bethesda and AMD make a big deal out of their “technological partnership” for this game, so it only seems logical to also have the game bundled with AMD hardware.

that’s a pretty weird take. just because other games that came with AMD were bad, doesn’t mean all of them are. Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Last Of Us Part 1, Uncharted, Far Cry 6, Deathloop, Borderlands 3, The Outer Worlds… none of those are bad games. i think game bundles just represent the general gaming experience. some games are good, some are bad. but just because a game comes in a bundle, doesn’t automatically mean that it will suck.

just a heads up: the new Series S with 1TB isn’t out yet. if you are looking to buy it, it will release in September. all the ones you are seeing right now are still the 500GB version. if you have the time, i would wait for it. i bought mine in February and the limited amount of space is my main criticism. i had to invest an additional 100 bucks to get a fast external SSD.

almost feels like Verstappen also went for the fastest lap at the end so that the final result doesn’t show the +30s gap. so further down the road, they can argue that the race pace of the RB isn’t as far ahead of other teams as it really is.

sounds like they should have asked u/spez for some advice on API pricing. /s
