The butter in my pocket is melting!

Google still hasn't fixed delayed notifications on Pixels, but you can try this in c/googlepixel

I have GrapheneOS on my Pixel and I experience this notification issue.

Almost 19 years on, all good things must come to an end. We are in the final 24 hours (or so) of the Xbox 360 Marketplace. in c/[email protected]

I felt nostalgic and was playing Beatles Rock Band on my 360. The dlc I bought couldnt be accessed in-game or through my purchase history (which had a lot of content unavailable in it). Most other stuff was there it seemed.

Look! It squeaks! in c/comicstrips

A baby rabbit shrieking is much much worse. My lab found a nest in the yard last summer. She ran around with them in her mouth but didn't tear them apart.

Fuck Draymond Green in c/nba

Honestly I turned on the pregame and the Draymond lovefest turned me off from watching the game.

Getting into Civ 6 in c/[email protected]

I wasn't patient with this one and have no regrets. The base game was good but the dlc adds a lot of interesting gameplay options. Buying the complete game is a steal now.

Great news for 4K Blu-ray fans – 2 big stores will now stock discs in c/[email protected]

Fred Meyer used to have a whole section dedicated to it. But their prices were always the worst. Great news is a bit of an overstatement.

Sony cancelled the PSN account linking requirement for Helldivers 2 in c/games

[–] ripley 5 points 6 months ago

Except now many loyalty cards are now required to get sale prices that were previously available without them. It is a bleak world where folks have to potentially choose between affording groceries and protecting their privacy.

Andor: The Complete First Season (Steelbook) (4K UHD Review) in c/[email protected]

[–] ripley 9 points 7 months ago

I thought Andor was the best Star Wars content since Empire, but Disney's prices are too rich for my blood. Getting tougher and tougher to be a thrifty collector.

Comcast: "Starting today, new and existing customers can take advantage of the following speed increases: in c/technology

"at no additional cost" - my bill went up nearly 25% in January. Their generosity is underwhelming.

This Windows tool makes it super easy to debloat and cut down ads on your Android TV in c/technology

[–] ripley 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ah well - supporting the dev isn't the worst possible outcome. It sure does make me happy to not see the Google ads regardless.

Xbox is still committed to making consoles, says boss Phil Spencer in c/games

[–] ripley 13 points 9 months ago

It doesn't even matter if Gamepass or Xbox is currently profitable or not. It's about whether it can be more profitable. They originally thought the path to that was through exclusivity - now they don't (just as Sony changed course in regards to putting stuff on PC). Anyone who thinks that corporate decision-making is ever based on anything else is being naive.

The practical concern here for me is at what point does MS find it most profitable to stop supporting my ability to use my accumulated physical and digital xbox software. Another reason walled gardens suck.
