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.

Or if you don’t want ads and telemetry, just go with Linux

These people posting negative comments aren’t even gamers. Go play on your linux or steam BS and let us enjoy this awesomeness!

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 👏

SPAX30T already beating most presales out there. Don’t sleep on this 💸

IT’S OFFICIAL — SPAX30T HAS ARRIVED AND IT’S AN ABSOLUTE MONSTER

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 💎

❌BTC ✅SPAX30T energy right now

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.

Crypto tide is shifting — AI-backed projects are next. Elon’s SPAX30T is the one to watch.

Hit a clean 5x on SPAX30T and rolled it all back in. This thing’s launching 💰

I’ll stick to Big Picture Mode.

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?
@thepiedish903

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