Weeknotes #26 (May 03, 2025)
Posted on:
Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.
Things I consumed
- Microsoft has been increasing prices for their Xbox lineup including hardware, accessories, and in the fall, first-party games. That said, the only thing that seems to be staying stable is their subscription service Game Pass.
- As I commented about last week, Final Fantasy XIV has a new crafting and gathering experience called Cosmic Exploration, but something of note that has been interesting is smaller servers across the world have been struggling to progress as fast as other servers as they seem to not be scaling the gameplay based on the amount of players.
- Gundam Gquuuuux, a collaboration between Sunrise and khara, the studio behind the Neon Genesis Evangelion Rebuild movie series, has finally hit new content in the series as the first 3 episodes aired as a movie a few months ago. It still is early on in the series but it has started to get into the political / societal critique that many Gundam series do and I am interested in seeing where it goes.
