@nithou I bought one when Google announced that it was going to shut down Stadia. As an affordable box to access Game Pass it is pretty good, performance wise it is great for the price.

@retrohondajunki I heard what she said, very reasonable.

Sometimes the videogame press surprises me. My assumption as an observer was that the base model Series S would be hugely popular. Sure if you just look at streamers and social media you only see very expensive setups, but in the real world people don't spend fortunes on entertainment like it's nothing. #gaming https://www.ign.com/articles/leaked-microsoft-documents-show-the-xbox-series-s-might-be-more-popular-than-you-think

@freemo 🤞 hope you are OK. I've been fortunate, super mild symptoms every time.

OMG! 😅🤣😂 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJ7kMfsS/

@OtherRetroMatt lol. Yeah, exactly.

@OtherRetroMatt Threads? Angry Bids? Farlight 84? TikTok? ;)

@retrosponge enjoy :) is a great handheld.

@juanfr "solo para adictos" lol

@vitaminsludge@mastodon.ie I'm South American with an Irish surname :D

I played #Farlight84 on #Filipino servers with some Twitch streamers. My God Filipino players are unforgiving in this game! No wonder that #FarlightGames takes the Filipino #esports scene so seriously. #gaming #gamingonlinux #SteamDeck

The KIRIN 9000S does look interesting. We all know the space race accelerated technology, politics aside, a new chip race is likely to hugely speed up the development of technology.

@CommodoreBlog nice. :)

It is fairly obvious that a car company like Ford would want a market like the UK to mandate EVs.

Firstly let me say that I like EVs, the internal combustion engine was always flawed, and moving towards motors that don't require complex gearboxes because their torque curves are so good is overall a GOOD thing for cars. Not only that but they are super quiet too and also they keep pollution out of cities and this is hugely beneficial for people's health.

But let's look at two markets that I know well. The UK car market and the Filipino car market.

The UK has a Ford EV called the Mustang Match-E, this is a mid-size crossover that's comparable size-wise to the Ford Territory and Ford Equators sold in Asia. The difference is that the Match-E starts at £51k here and the Territory starts under £19k in the Philippines.

It doesn't take a genius to work out that Ford wants to see a return on their investment in EVs by mandating them! The £51k crossover is more profitable than the £19k crossover. #EV #uk
