Yes, that’s what happened: https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/03/28/elon-musk-says-xai-has-purchased-x-formerly-known-as-twitter-for-33-billion/
For what it’s worth, xAI is still a private company - so at least it’s not retail investors on the hook, just venture capital.
Started on Prince of Persia: Sands of Time this Easter weekend; no particular reason beyond just a nostalgic yearning.
Thankfully, it still holds up!
Oh, no doubt - but he’s no longer personally on the hook for Twitter’s $44b debt-loan!
So when it eventually fails, it’ll be a corporate write-off and Elon’s wealth across Tesla and SpaceX are protected.
He’s already sold Twitter/X to xAI; he’s got his arse covered when the bottom eventually falls out.
Oh my God, oh my God, OH MY GOD!
That looks PERFECT! 🤩 Thanks for bringing to my attention, wishlisting it on Steam now!
♥️!!
I’ve been hoping for a voxel-based RTS revival game for ages! This is a bit more old-school (still longing for that Red Alert 2 era), but still looks very interesting - will hopefully give it a play over this Easter long weekend and report back.
That’s the neat part - they totally can, and will!
Going old-school for this one, but I remembered absolutely loving the RPG Story Mode in Point Blank on the PSX.
I would sell a kidney (not necessarily mine), if it helped produce a PC/Steam remake with mouse compatibility (seeing as Light Gun games have basically gone the way of the dodo).
Honestly not surprised, catering to GamersTM honestly feels like a fool’s errand; there seems to be an ever growing divide between what the vocal minority demands to see, and what the silent majority of the market ends up consuming.
Catering to the former is like dancing on a knife’s edge, its only a matter of time before you fail to live up to their expectations - and that’s even if there’s enough of them to even be able to support a journalist’s career to begin with!
Catering to the mainstream segment will usually cause you to fall on the former’s bad-side anyway, as they unleash a torrent of vitriol and hate at the journalists for not focusing on whatever manufactured outrage is de jour at the moment (previously woke, now DEI).
I’m not encountering a paywall either through embedded Safari or Firefox (iOS); worst case seems like 12ft.io should work?
It was usually said when referring to the PlayStation secondarily:
Blatantly stolen from r/PSX:
Additional link to Imgur source, in case the above is compressed to hell:
This is something every PSX fan needs at least once in their life
Out of sheer curiosity, what’re the issues you’re experiencing with NHL99?
I’d have thought a title that old (25+ years) would emulate just fine?
I’m honestly surprised they haven’t jacked up the prices already! Partly because CapitalismTM — but also because I fully expect for big retailers like Walmart to have 30-90 day payment terms with vendors, and some of those invoices potentially being subject to these tariffs.
From my understanding, even though they both run Nvidia-designed ARM processors - there are enough differences between the two SOCs that a direct 1:1 translation is not possible for all titles, and those will need to go through an emulation layer.
Additionally, there are certain titles won’t be compatible due to hardware changes (Ring Fit Adventure for example, and probably all of the LABO stuff?).
First rule of tech disruption is to ignore patents/laws and get a big enough footprint to be able to fend off the eventual litigation. Given this is China, they can mandate implementing it on mainland devices for the initial wave, and roll out later revisions into adjacent regions over time once it’s taken a foothold.
Maybe it’s from huffing too much copium; but I think that Valve’s eventual Steam Deck successor will probably have mainstream console levels of appeal.
By that point in time, compatibility should be nigh-sorted (thanks to all the hard work currently happening), and users won’t need to interact with the Linux desktop mode at all. It would be completely transparent, and only enthusiasts and power-users would ever want interact with it.
The biggest thing going for the SteamOS platform is the immense library that it brings forward; no other console can compete with — even with full backwards compatibility (which even the Switch2 is struggling with).
So this is what he chose to do, instead of attending the ceremony for dead soldiers in Lithuania?
Can’t believe someone actually downvoted you for being excited; I swear, heaven forbid you like something that others don’t.
I’m skeptical as to whether the open world aspect will add to (or detract from) the experience, but I’ll probably end up grabbing it few years down the line once my kid is old enough to appreciate it.
I still want a physical copy in my library as a precaution against the apocalypse, regardless.
I guess I’m just old (and pessimistic about humanity’s future)… 🤷🏻♂️
