For me it’s mainly a nice backup for when the Xbox or TV is occupied by someone else. I don’t think I’d use it as my prime source of gaming. It works but it’s not quite as good as the actual playing on your own hardware.

Looks pretty nice tbh! Probably going to stick to my current phone a few more years until it stops being updated but if I manage to break it this might just be the replacement.

That sounded scary at first!

You guys are doing great, all of you!

And yeah, that was a risky move, a good one in hindsight, but still has to be scary?

Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time!

My week’s been good. Finally started my four week vacation time. Feels so good, though we don’t seem to be getting any of that heat that the rest of the world is suffering under. It’s been somewhat chilly and absolutely pouring outside almost 24/7 for a while now.

Wish it could be at least dry and somewhat warm. Still so nice to be off work though!

Looked like ads at first. Gave me a slight cyberpunk vibe for some reason. At least big corpo dystopia.

Really? Any idea how?

I do use that. I have a Series X but I play on PC as well. Some games aren’t available on xbox and sometimes the TV might be occupied or I might want to squeeze in some quick gaming while already at my desk.

Well of course. There’s always room for improvement though.

You can still have checkpoints and auto saves at intervals. That way you can reload if you save a second before dying or whatever.

Meh, annoying save systems won’t stop me for buying an otherwise great game but it will somewhat bug me while playing.

Very much so! For the longest time I had a xerox of some gaming magazine with all the save codes for Lemmings!

Pretty much this. And if they’re worried about that just make it so you can only save and quit?

True but that won’t help with many modern games.

Ugh… I wish more developers kept their customers engaged by making good games instead of creating some meta game to keep the hamster wheel running. That feels like a lot of MMO’s…

That would be awesome, I hope they can do it!

Yes!

Wonder is Valve could implement that on windows as well?

I’d never play that on PC. It would work on xbox though since quick resume just let’s ju pop out to the dashboard and resume whenever. It’s not foolproof but I’ve only had to restart from a checkpoint a few times.

Save states would be nice. Just dump the game’s data from ram to disk.

That would probably take up a ton of space though. :)

Some games seem to manage it quite well though? But yeah, they probably had to pit a lot more energy into implementing it.
