nice meltdown.

i've never played a souls and picked a weapon that looked cool and eventually beat the game but good to know there is apparently only a single way to do it.

if you never played ds1, you won't know ds3 is a remix of it

Nice. How many coins have you earned in adventure mode? I unlocked the "Super Adventurer" skin the other day, not with coins but with real money because the grind got to me. Was a steal at $5.37 worth of microsoft points.

"I wanted to kill you, go to your funeral, and anyone who showed up to mourn you, I wanted to kill them too."

quote:

Thurrott Premium isn’t expensive, but we’re going to make it even less costly for early adopters. The normal annual rate is $64, but if you join the Thurrott Premium alpha program now, the first year will be just $42. And the timer doesn’t start until Thurrott Premium goes live later this year, of course.

whats the background even supposed to be on this icon?! did he not learn anything from Microsoft

its your logo on a background of retina bleeding magenta shifting to blazing neon green, then to black, then back to a blue so bright it makes you go crosseyed

ms actually has multiple variants of their logo in order to account for different backgrounds. yeah, marketing fuckos ignore the guideliens but at least they're there

i doubt that thurott has put together a proper style guide

yeah everyone has stuff like that. We have logos for dark backgrounds for light backgrounds, variations on the name/logo, black&white, etc...

I made a greyscale one for the phones and it looks pretty good.

always great

would love if there was a screenshot of the tweet where he compared an MS shareholders meeting to the Nuremberg trials, pretty sure he deleted the original

edit: aha no he didn't



this really is something you should delete but his loving ego prevents him from just accepting he made a dumb analogy
