What if breakout had all the delectable qualities of vampire survivors, and it was also a city builder you advance by turning your villagers into projectiles?

I messed with that UI for 15 mins or something at SGF and agreed it felt like a mouse interface, but one you could get used to.

I mean that was one line in the verge review, but it was mostly about that UI

I took on the great sacrifice of my first sugary drink in a month to try this new Monster. Can't resist apple juice anything, and while this is the best Monster I've had in ages, it'd be better carbonated. 🫧🍎 7/10

You're telling me the $600 one runs games worse than a Steam Deck?

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.

The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:

"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"

"This is not an Xbox"

"If this is the future of Xbox, Xbox is screwed."

Went with the middle.

This is not an Xbox

Microsoft’s first “Xbox” handhelds are shipping not fully baked.

I like that Shohei says hi to the opposing team manager in his first at-bat. Every game.

Obviously "persistent" Portal servers were never real, dedicated servers, but the promise was 1 server per player that can always be up. Not the case

Really glad we didn't publish a Battlefield 6 review at launch. It's great, but some serious flaws in there that were impossible to see before launch.

-hit reg weirdness
-unbelievably slow progression
-janky server browser
-and it looks like "persistent" servers were a lie
