    Android gaming on Windows 11 is about to get more powerful

    Use PlayStore. It's easy to install one,just need a script

    It does sound like it... but, maybe not him but his kids?

    Why I won’t buy anymore Windows hardware….ever.

    I'm not a fan of anything or anyone, I don't do those crazy stuff. I use Windows because there's no other OSes can suit my needs better than Windows. I'm a lead game programmer. Well... I have several Alienwares, they work fine. One of'em had a RAM meltdown due to summer heat but I replaced it...

    Andromeda Question

    If you are referring to WinMobile, I think it is only wise not to invest in'em. 1) It's not Win10 PC like Andromeda. Can WM run XPA games? No. 2) It's not a PC, so it started with 0 user base and 0 dev base. 3) It's already late to the party. 0 user + 0 dev + satured market == no way to break...

    Andromeda Question

    I suppose... just mute the Desktop and make StartScreen the default Win key action would work just fine? Then maybe enlarge UI scale settings a lilo bit?

    How do I avoid making a Windows setup lame and boring?

    Teach her how to operate a PC professionally? type "aple" then hit space, aple is highlighted. How do you fix it? 1. move your cursor from all the way across the screen, right click, move up, left click? 2. hit left, hit menu key, hit enter. If you don't have a menu key, it's shift+F10. tip1...

    Did MS Ruin Skype?

    Mobile! The answer is trend. Skype is old, and kids want something that belongs to their era e.g. Instagram. Skype between family members or friends? No, they use Messenger, WhatsApp or Line. If Nadella had stepped in earlier, making Skype available on iOS, Android, everywhere... It'd prob...

    Did MS Ruin Skype?

    If my memory serve me right, I think Dan said Skype still has 350m monthly active users.

    Is VR already becoming an after thought?

    With current VR, when you sit, your neck is the limitation, therefore left analog controls character's movement and right analog + headset rotation offset determines character's facing. When you stand, your room is the limitation. You can certainly design your game to rely no right analog for...

    Windows 10 still sucks as a tablet experience

    Pages of icons. Defaults to Apple's own software and are unchangeable. Cannot even switch AP directly from Quick Settings. Very-pro-feature-lacking, pro-user-unfriendly tbh. Well... try Google's own devices if you must go for an Android. OEMs tamper Android's API, which introduce inconsistent...

    The state of Xbox Play Anywhere

    MS is building infra for Streaming. And Mixer so far, 1. Streamer can sell MsStore products and get a cut. 2. Devs can open XBA game's API to Mixer. Try search We are Jack, and there are more. One day, viewers might be able to pick an item from their inventory and trader with streamer when a...

    The state of Xbox Play Anywhere

    Steam and GOG will have to start making UWP installation available, and support XBL to cross-save (if dev don't want to code their own cloud save). 1. How many got brunt? 2. Are you saying, investing Win10 + UWP for Box, BC, FC, XBA and GamePass are all short term investments? 3. Does games on...

    The state of Xbox Play Anywhere

    Agree. I do use XPA on my Alienware or Surface Pro when I travel or go out. I'm, most likely, the minority. And... I'm looking forward to dock a small WoA on my gamepad. Not eager to run Middle Earth but some indie / computation cheaper titles. Don't think MS can force devs into doing anything.
