Where do machines like the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST fit in? Would they make up part of the PC segment?
This is in danger of being an unpopular opinion, but the Xbox Series X is mine. For a comparatively low hardware price (i.e. vs PC), Iβve got access to current gen games, and (often) improved versions of a huge number of games from previous generations. Then thereβs Game Pass. I know thereβs bound to be divided opinion on the value of that, but for me itβs incredible. Itβs very easy to find discounts, and the library is decent and updated regularly. For the cost of one triple-A game per year, Iβm able to play several, plus my kids can download whatever takes their fancy.
Sure thereβs the ownership vs rental argument, but Iβm not one to revisit games Iβve beaten. For me, the Xbox represents the best value gaming proposition available (outside of piracy).
I remember the days of my PS1, which I loved, and I think I had a grand total of about 6 games throughout my time with it. According to the βOwned Gamesβ section of my Xbox library, I have 250 spanning 4 generations , which doesnβt even include Game Pass. Itβs borderline absurd!
The quick resume feature is excellent, the controllers are great, itβs silent, unobtrusive, and the streaming to other devices works great for when Iβm at my desk. Couldnβt be happier with it.
Gutted. One of my favourite series.
This should have far more upvotes than the easy βTikTok sucksβ comments above. Whether you like the platform or not, it directly generates revenue for the musicians.
Anecdotally, the amount of times my kids have heard a song on TikTok then gone on to Apple Music and added it to their playlist - then usually listening to other songs by the same artists - must be in the hundreds by now.
This was always the case in the web version of Outlook, and the mobile client. If you subscribe to 365, ads are removed.
I noticed this last year when I moved away from 365 and started getting ads on the Outlook mobile client. I ended up binning it off and just used the default Mail app on iOS, which is a shame because the Outlook app on phones is actually superb. Not good enough to put up with ads though.
