I literally didn't turn on my xbox series s*x since like 1 year. There is no point in owning it if you have a PC. Idk what xbox plan is. its just sitting there with all games available on PC except RDR1 I guess

I turned it on to watch the lego movie Blu-ray with my niece and it demanded I login which I don't remember at all and after resetting my pw it took 35 minutes to update the console so I could use the fricking Blu-ray player. I will never buy a console made after 2008 again.

megacorporations have no long-term plans anymore, too big to fail, they're just maximizing profit in that exact moment because they can get bailed out anyway

I've only seen people use theirs for streaming services. It's weird. It's like they all gave up on videogames.

Czechs are civilized Factorio players but beyond the Erzgebirge you get into the darklands. Most citizens simply play Bus Driver Simulator or something. This is one of the more dangerous specimens. He's not your typical kraut. He's a consolestrag. These are the ones they teach to do violence...
(BTW remind me someday, I gotta get back to Electrician Simulator. You can actually learn from it.)

it used to be so cool as a kid being on team nintendo or team sega and wrapping your entire identity around it
getting super excited to stay over at your playstation neighbor as a nintendo kid to experience all the different games
now everything is homogenized. zoomers will never experience this
