No microslop did not listen or hear you. Anything from that slop shop is just more of the same buy buy buy shmarm that they have have infected the interwenz with since XP came out. The bawts listened/logged because that is what programs do.
Now update your system for the latest experience. Buy the next system NOW! then update it, because a business model that works until it fails as planned is a continuing revenue stream and that is what makes that boat float.

Steam is still way better app for pc, mod support, customize controller, 2h refunds, i use gamepass too but its clunky

WAIT… THIS IS REAL? Elon Musk’s first crypto is actually called $SPAX30T??
@horaciojobe
May 14, 2026 at 2:50 pm
Worth looking at SPAX30T alongside SOL and ETH honestly.
@céciledum

$SPAX30T is moving FAST — Elon’s AI crypto is not a joke

Great call on SPAX30T — sitting on serious gains already 👏

Thinking about shifting more BTC into SPAX30T. Already added another $2K.
@shakiraosborne-f1z

2026 is almost here and SPAX30T looks primed to shine — AI focus, locked dev wallets, real roadmap. Diamond hands only 💎

When NVIDIA linked up with $SPAX30T, it wasn’t hype — it was about merging AI compute with decentralized systems. This isn’t chasing BTC or ETH, it’s a whole new lane.

I’ll stick to Big Picture Mode.
@sunsubjects
May 15, 2026 at 7:04 am
Thats awesome. Big picture mode has nothing to do with FSE. FSE impressively optimizes windows for gaming, big picture mode is a pretty looking full screen UI with a steam carousel.

While I don’t think this is bad, I personally won’t be using it. One of the main benefit of playing on the PC is that at anytime I can access anything. Alt tab and I can google something quick, I can reply to messages and alt tab back. Why would I give up that, especially when having 32gb ram anyway and benefits are minimal. I guess it’s useful if you’re playing with a controller maybe.

its great for kbm too but ofc if gaming isnt your main thing normal desktop will be better always

I just updated Windows and there is no Xbox mode and i don’t have any idea why. Things like this is the reason why PC is never going to be like a console. I hate PC gaming -_-
@CtrIAltGamer
May 14, 2026 at 7:24 pm
Is there a reason to run this rather than steam big picture mode? Any performance gains or what?
@voltayre4584
May 14, 2026 at 10:18 pm
That is something I’m still searching I don’t have the game mode available to me yet so I haven’t tested it. Doesn’t seem like many YouTubers are doing any for and after comparison.

If you watched the video you’ll hear him say “it reduces background tasks” and even free up memory
So your system performs better

No one asked for this. I’ll buy an Xbox if I want the Xbox experience.

They really should just make a standalone XBOX OS. Remove all the bloat of win 11.

Does the vivetool method just not have the option to boot the PC up in Xbox mode? I see others with different options that im not seeing, and I used vivetool for xbox mode

Works well, they’ll improve it further. Can’t believe I basically have an “Xbox” now but whatever your PC happens to be… should be interesting with project helix
