Lots of details here, but key takeaway (for me) is that day one MS games have gone from $17/mo one year ago to $30/mo today. Some marginal benefits to the cost increase, but the catalog expansion is not impressive.

Super easy iPhone 17 Pro pickup experience at the beautiful new Apple store in Vancouver. I don’t mind the orange, but silver feels neutral and nostalgic.

Big improvements to draw distance on Akiva in the new Star Wars Outlaws patch - looks much better now! Seems like the day 1 code was bugged. (Ignore image quality/performance as this is internally recorded footage.)

Some weird stuff going on at Nintendo. Looks like they've changed their US website to no longer mention VRR support for TV play? Only HDR and 120Hz support get a call-out.

My Apple Music Replay for this year and 2023/2022! Charli in all three interestingly.

Please take a look at the DF Black Friday sale at Store.DigitalFoundry.net! Great prices and great merch, including the mug which I am drinking out of right now!

Happy birthday to one of the most impactful games of all time! A little scary that I’ve been playing WoW for 20 years now.
