Hey everyone, I am here to sing the praises of KCD2. I've been playing the legacy of the forge dlc and this game is just so immersive, let's talk favorite games so far. 3 picks, for me it's KCD2, Silksong & Ghost of Yotei. Have a Silksong is 2D Elden Ring kind of day.

I think I speak for LSM’s fans that we want this show and you two to stay around despite Xbox’s changes. How do you guys see the show evolving, if at all? Thanks!

2025-10-08 22:41:48 +0000 UTCMy Dukie Wookies, I reflected on some of the themes of last week’s episode, namely that Microsoft appears to be going the way of Sega. Like Cog, I too was a big Sega fan and the Dreamcast remains my favorite system. For awhile, it seemed that Microsoft was carrying the torch that Sega dropped (a focus on teens with ‘tude) and that paid off bigly during the Xbox 360 generation for them. Thinking about it now though, what can we say are Sony’s and Microsoft’s consoles identities? It is a lot less clear than it was in the past as they have incrementally marched their ways to becoming user friendly living room PCs, while Nintendo pursues nearly the same strategy they have since the GameCube era. While MS’ seemingly impending exit from the console market is sad. I am only left wondering what will be lost if we as the consumers have more choices for games than ever? Sony and Valve will publish nearly everything and Nintendo will focus on their goo-goo-ga-ga first party titles. An ecosystem like this will seemingly cover everyone and is actually something to look forward to. What do the dukes think about this? Have an, I just sold my Xbox in August and don’t regret it, kind of day.
