Adobe had already announced that they were sunsetting XD with the announcement of their Figma aquisition, as Figma is much more successful and filled the same space. I guess now the question is whether they decide to reverse course and revive XD now that they won't be getting Figma

So it’s only exclusive for 23 days?

Really weird when the game isn’t currently on any other system…

Pentagram has been shit for years. Every now and then they come out with something pretty cool, but most of their work in the past decade at least has been mediocre at best.

Yes, this is basically the ending of the most recent season

I have an 85” QN90B and HDR on it looks fantastic, always bright and very clear. I’ve never run into the issues you’ve described here, maybe it’s only specific models?

I haven’t seen it in years, but isn’t the full quote when he’s trying to save him “take my little hand, it’s stronger!”

I could be misremembering though

Karen, Becky, and Sylvia

From a technical perspective, they didn’t remove it or any of the other missing features from the taskbar since the win11 taskbar was built from scratch without any of the old code for 10. For whatever reason, that feature wasn’t prioritized in the new taskbar build so it wasn’t built yet, or they didn’t want to add it.

I still think their decision to not allow the new taskbar to be placed on the sides or top is really stupid though, as someone with a 32:9 monitor, I’d much rather use some of my horizontal space for taskbar rather than limited vertical space.

Ya know, we haven’t taken a look at our pixel tree in a few seconds..

What do you think of the Hall effect joysticks? I was thinking of getting some, but been kind of turned off by reports of the square shaped output they have making rotating worse

From the article:

“Ubisoft will also be able, for a fee, to require Microsoft to adapt Activision’s titles to operating systems other than Windows, such as Linux, if it decides to use or license out the cloud streaming rights to Activision’s titles to a cloud gaming service that runs a non-Windows operating system.”

If Ubi is willing to pay a fee, they can force Microsoft to adapt any ActiBlizz games they want to another operating system for cloud gaming purposes.

OneX has been around for a while, their main competition up until the release of the Steam Deck has been AyaNeo and GPDWin. They do make some solid systems, but they've (all 3) traditionally been a lot more expensive than SD and Ally have pushed the market.

Have they added ray-tracing yet? I've been waiting for that to play it

Sure, but an expansion would have to be a lot more than a couple of new races, there’d need to be a whole new story arc, potentially new areas to visit, lots of new conversations that would need to be written and recorded. Not many people are going to come back just for a couple of new races, they want more to experience. Races could be DLC, but not a whole expansion by themselves

oh neat then, I'm still using the TestFlight version. Surprised to hear that updates are as fast as they are then

I imagine once it’s released on the App Store, updates will slow down due to Apple’s approval process, it’s just not a priority for them to approve updates right away

I don’t think people are expecting one already, but you would usually expect the studio to at least have started on an expansion by the time the game itself releases. If they haven’t even started on one yet, that means any expansion is likely a couple years away at least.

Not sure, I haven't used wifi-based headphones before. I just know I don't notice any audio latency when using APTX-LL supporting headphoens/adapter that I've noticed when just using regular bluetooth

As long as you use headphones and a bluetooth adapter that both support APTX LL (low-latency), it's instantaneous for me. Same as using it wired.

I would probably recommend a Series S if you're looking for something cheaper, plus is it's a current system so you'll still get access to any new games that come out, while with the One X you'll be limited to older games.
