My best run I was breaking 1M hands then got stopped by the lamest blind ever on ante 11 via just bad rng deals 😭
90% of my Dragon's Dogma playtime is my pawns saying "my lord, a ladder beckons, pray we approach it and ascend for it may lead us to a bountiful reward!" and me running around in circles going WHAT FUCKING LADDER MATE?
I encourage everyone to skip the headlines/tweets/pull-quotes, and actually read the full Phil Spencer interview, because it's quite interesting.
It's bonkers to me that Microsoft Rewards has its own discreet fanbase lmao

Popped Podcast Beyond on to listen to some Dragon's Dogma chat. By 15 mins in, the hosts had claimed PS5 Pro is a bad idea "because there aren't that many games", and they took a swipe at the Series S (you can't make it up lol).
Clown show. Unsubbed.
Xbox 360 is a great name in isolation, but didn't leave much room to move ha
Oh yeah for sure, I saw a lot of people poo-poo there' longer form explanation, but that seemed fine to me.
I'm just saying I think the initial criticism is fair (even if the form mostly used to convey the criticism was very very stupid)...
I maintain that Xbox is terrible at naming hardware but great at naming services and PlayStation is the opposite.
EG:
Xbox Series X vs Game Pass
PlayStation 5 vs PlayStation Stars
Although "Game Pass Core" is fkn awful 🙃
Xbox and Noisy Pixel fan here, I think the reaction has been absurd, but also don't think the NP staffer handled it particularly well. Ultimately a nothing burger.
I *do* think the criticism of "you thought the game was so unenjoyable you refunded it and now you gave it a 9.5, what gives" is fair.
Well deserved,excellent game.
$4 - Game Pass deal, art style looks lovely, be rude not to pick it up at that price!

www.youtube.comI think these are all arbitrary delimiters. Spiderman is ps5 only for business reasons not technical ones.
I think Forza Horizon 5, Flight Sim Hi-Fi Rush and even Sea of Thieves and Ori are all up there as far as "showcase" looking games - I do wonder what % of showcasiness is taken just from the Spiderman IP tho 🤔
Yeah, I fell back into Twitter when Starfield released, and got hooked back in. This recent horseshit is my inflection point.
Huh. Makes sense for compatibility, perhaps less so for a Pro upgrade?

I love metroidvanias; pumped to see Prince of Persia review well. I don't really have a connection to the game, but a few of the reviews have been glowing!
Alan Wake 2 was going to be first first gaming purchase of the year, but if the PoP demo kicks ass then I might pick it up this weekend.

In my experience you absolutely have to min/max a run to the extreme. If you can find a weapon/combo you like then pump upgrades into ONLY the attribute that scales it, you'll have a better chance. Plus a bit of luck.
26 hours is a good run tho.
Windows Central has some tips on settings/watch outs. Maybe give them a shot so you don't lose further progress. Awful bug!
