D&D as a forum was never meant to be a place where you get to mindlessly scream and complain about things you don't like, and get pissy when people who know more than you explain to you that the solutions aren't as simple or easy as you think. When someone asks "why hasn't Biden closed the concentration camps yet", and another poster explains at length why doing so is complicated, and the response is "haha lol look at the concentration camp apologist"... that's not "disagreement", it's just high school level idiocy. And banning those users from the forum would not take away from it one it — in fact, it would improve the space considerably.

the xbone had the wrong ram.

the PS5 had the right idea: you have a regular version, and then you have a "digital" version that's exactly the same except it has to CD drive. you drop the price by a hundred bucks, and you make it back from people who buy this version getting locked-in to digital store purchases and PS Plus. but all the other hardware is identical.

the Xbox hosed it up: the Series S isn't just missing a CD drive, the hardware is also non-trivially weaker than the flagship Series X

so what happens is that instead of games running the same across the X and the S, the latter always yields an inferior quality game, either because the developers had to deliberately downgrade the game to account for the worse hardware, or because the devs are just leaving it in "previous gen compatibility mode" because nobody wants to be arsed to port a game TWICE for the same console

the xbox game pass is a great service (for now), but i have to wonder how long it will be before the library suffers because there has to be a split between series x and series s -compatible games

I dragged my feet on buying a PS4 until I wanted a game that was on it and didn't have any prev-gen or PC games to play instead and will probably do the same with next gen

Confession, I think XBox hate specifically and MS hate in general is overblown, but I do think Xbox is losing the game-exclusivity war which is the only facet of this whole dumb slapfight I come remotely close to caring about

The whiplash from vitriolic takes about how not voting for Biden makes you a double hitler and we got to close the camps now, to bloodless, anodyne explinations (that are identical to what the Republicans said) about how nothing can be done about the camps and we should stop talking about them is what upset people I think.
