Moet de console van Microsoft gespeld worden als Xbox of XBOX?
Sinds de introductie is het Xbox-logo in hoofdletters geschreven, maar in tekst spelt de overgrote meerderheid het als "Xbox", terwijl bedrijven als DICE, GOG en SEGA hun hoofdletters in geschreven tekst houden. Maar misschien staat dit op het punt te veranderen.
De nieuwe Xbox-baas, Asha Sharma, stelde onlangs op sociale media een vraag over hoe de naam van de console eigenlijk geschreven zou moeten worden. Is het Xbox of XBOX? Zoals je waarschijnlijk kunt raden, verschillen meningen enorm, en je hebt 17 uur (op het moment van schrijven) om je gedachten te delen.
Nadat je hebt gestemd, zouden we het fijn vinden als je je redenatie uitlegt. Wat denk jij?
Xbox overhaler Achievements med den nye funksjonen Gamerscore Badges
Vi oppsummerte nylig det halsbrekkende tempoet som den nye Xbox-sjefen Asha Sharma starter i, og listet opp en rekke nye funksjoner hun har på gang. Dette inkluderte blant annet en fornyelse av det klassiske Achievements-systemet, som ble lovet å ha "et nytt utseende og en ny følelse, inkludert oppdaterte ikoner og animasjoner når du låser opp klassiske eller sjeldne prestasjoner."
Nå har i det minste en del av dette blitt vist frem, ettersom medlemmer av Xbox Insider-programmet har mottatt en ny oppdatering som legger til Gamerscore Badges, som er emblemer som viser hvilken prestasjonspoengsum du har oppnådd. De starter med et ganske enkelt grønt emblem, og etter hvert som du når milepæl etter milepæl, får du flere prikker, ulike design og nye nyanser av grønt. Du kan se hvordan det ser ut nedenfor.
Den samme oppdateringen inkluderte også den nye oppstartssekvensen som kommer til Xbox-konsoller, som vi tidligere har dekket. Gå over her hvis du vil se hvordan den ser ut.
No, Eric Barone is not adding infidelity to Stardew Valley, although he did briefly consider letting you ruin marriages, to Grandpa's deep disappointment
Following reports claiming that Stardew Valley may soon let players divorce or cheat on their in-game spouses, Eric Barone has embarked upon a social media blitz to say no, that's not actually happening, and asking everyone to please calm down about it.
Barone mused on the topic of Stardew infidelity in a wide-ranging new interview with Game Informer, saying that some players have expressed a desire to marry Caroline, Robin, or Demetrius—but noting that in order to do so they'd have to break up families in the town. Barone said he's against that "on a moral level," but then went on to say that people should be able to do bad things in sandbox games—and suffer appropriate consequences for their actions.
"I would be open to doing something like that, but I wouldn’t baby people about it," Barone said. "There would be very serious consequences." In the context of Stardew Valley, though, he added that he also feels like such things might be "too real," and that "maybe Stardew Valley is supposed to be, to some degree, an escape from those kinds of things."
That quote caused a bit of a stir, to put it mildly, and Barone has been working hard on social media to correct the record. "I'm not going to actually do this," he wrote in response to one report on the misquote. "I was just talking theoretically, that if I WERE then I wouldn't just make it some consequence-free thing, everyone would hate you, there would be severe consequences for your moral failures.
"If you're making a sandbox game I think it's interesting to allow people to do things, even bad things. But there should be consequences. That teaches you a life lesson. If you just get away with it or everyone is chill with it, that would be bad."
Some of the uproar may have been sparked by a machine translation gone really wrong. Japanese gaming site Automaton covered the GI interview, and when its translation was flipped back to English, it came out quoting Barone as stating unequivocally, "We are considering the introduction of infidelity and divorce."
"The only thing I had ever 'considered' was allowing players to break up Pierre/Caroline or Robin/Demetrius, but even that is probably too heavy and serious, and would be a ton of work to adjust all dialogue and tone of everyone in town in consequence, and Grandpa ashamed of you," Barone wrote in response to Automaton's post.
"It was just some theoretical idea I've toyed with. I don't condone doing it either. But there is precedent for things like that in Stardew, like going to the Dark Shrine of Selfishness to turn your kids into doves, and then they haunt you forever." Yeah, that sounds pretty morally iffy, alright!
Barone posted a few shorter replies referring to the Automaton report as "fake news" or a "clickbait article," and said in one that the untranslated quotes are "taken out of context," and "if you read the actual interview it's clear that I'm not going to add it."
He also, as is his way, swerved off course momentarily to tell a disappointed Stardew Valley player that "you're born with a specific fairy godmother, I don't make the rules," and to congratulate another player who got an A+ on a presentation on the art of Stardew Valley.
I think you actually do, Eric!
So it's much ado over nothing, then, but that's probably for the best: After all, would you really want to disappoint Grandpa like that?
