I thought it was called the 360 because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away.
You turn 360 degrees youre still walking towards it.
Moonwalk away. Hee Hee.
Dunno if i’ve been whooshed or if you have a poor understanding of geometry, but have a good day either way.
It was a meme when the 360 got released.
Oh, mb then, TMYK
There’s an interesting looking hot dog stand just past it
It was called 360 because they didn’t want to release an Xbox 2 when PS already had 3. So they came up with 360 bullshit because it’s kind of like 3. So now PS are conveniently numbered and I have no idea which Xbox is the newest.
The 360 was released in 2005. That’s over 20 years ago. Yes, they would be considered classics at this point. And know what, I wish more folks younger than myself discovered how gaming WAS and realize what it’s turned into.
It’s so blocky now. Even to my eyes, I can no longer play that Q_Q
It’s 21 years old this year 😭
Take solace that old != obsolete.
I still play Just Cause 2, Fallout 3 and a bunch of 360 GOATs
That’s older than the NES was when the Dreamcast was released.
That particular 360 is the new Xbox 360 that came with the Kinect and is only about 13 years old
I’ll only accept a console is retro if you can emulate it playably on a phone.
So the PS3?
Wake up, gen z boys and girls. You are not kids anymore. You are old af.
as an early 90s-born millennial near the upper limit of gen z, it’s been great seeing them discover mid 20s aging as I enter my early 30s :) it doesn’t stop Gen Z. You keep on aging from here on out. I remember thinking the 70s were only 30 years ago, and the 80s only 20.
Though on the flip side, remember that however old you are right now, it’s also the youngest you’ll ever be going forward.
Feeling old in your 20s? Many people are active into their 60s, some keep going strong into their 90s.
Unless you’re recovering from illness or injury, the current version of your body might be the best version you’ll ever see again.
Though one suggestion that left my own body far more capable, if you’re the skinny and weak type, do some proper workouts. Proper as in spend the time to learn proper form and also ensure you’re getting enough energy and protein in your diet. You’ll gain strength that will stay with you until you do get really old (assuming your body doesn’t atrophy due to starvation or being bedridden before then).
Eg, when I first started working out, I couldn’t curl 20 lbs, had to go down to 15. But I was curling 20 a week or two later and was pushing 40 lbs about a year or two later, then my workout habit dropped off and 8 years have passed and I can still curl over 30 lbs when I get curious in the dumbbell section of stores that carry them.
I used to be over 300lbs a year ago, I’m 170 now after a lot of work. That may be true for most, but 10 years ago my body was horrific
Congrats, that’s some great progress!
Yeah, the bit about working out was intended to be an exception to what I was saying, but I didn’t communicate it very well.
it feels like there are 2 kinds of people: those who feel old at 23, and those who don’t stop feeling like a child until every hair on their head and face is gray.
I’d fall into the latter category because i’m 26 and i don’t feel quite adult yet, despite the front of my chin being gray already.
I know xd they still believe they are little kids dependent on daddy and mommy.
Amazing console that can be easily softmodded nowadays. mine has a 1tb hdd attached, with over 200 games (incl. ~1/3 from xbox classic). I’ve been using it more than the PS4 or Steam, until I modded my PS4 too recently
My problem with the PS4 and the Switch was the library. Modding a 360 is just better.
On the other hand, most of the games I’ve gotten for my PS5 are PS4 games, though tbf they are mostly from the used game bargain bin at EB Games, so I guess it says more about the cheap ps4 library vs ps5.
I still have an OG Wii. That thing is a BEAST, even today.
Touhou mentioned 🗣 (i am pretty sure thats Sanae Kochiya from Touhou at the bottom panel)
No way. Halo 3 trailer was just released no way it’s been 20 years.
Wtf is a Halo 3? Atari just announced a new game based on that sick alien movie Spielberg just put out that’s super popular right now. I bet it’s gonna be the best game ever!
How is that going to work as an arcade cabinet‽
I’m sorry…
I remember playing the crap out of my xbox360 when I had one. It had such a good library of games.
I played the heck out of my three faulty RoD Xboxes
I need to re-cap my childhood Turbografx, so my toddler can experience some family Dungeon Explorer. She’s the age I was when my parents bought it.
I can still hear the ninja spirit death anthem.
Classic? What? I’m really that old?
Guys, these consoles are so old I’ve seen these kinds of memes since the PS4 and Xbox One days. I think its time to accept they’re retro
My current annoyance: my Xbox 360 works just fine, but none of the controllers turn on while battery powered. (IR remote works, but it’s not exactly suitable for gaming.) And Xbox 360 was the pinnacle of Microsoft’s “well we have to do slightly incompatible shit just for the hell of it” attitude - you can’t just use a standard USB cable, it uses USB over a weird proprietary connector. (On the other hand, I’ve looooooved Xbox One and later controllers on PC, they have standard plugs)
My Halloween tradition is Bullet Witch - had to jank up the PC version to working state last year when I first noticed this problem with the 360 controllers.
Edit: Oh wow, I managed to find a 360 controller battery holder that actually works. Geometry Wars Evolved 2 status: got the first cheevo
You can also find replacement batteries online, though hard to say how easy the replacement will be. Wasn’t bad for ps3 or wii u controllers, but no idea how ms approached it.
The official Xbox 360 rechargeable batteries were absolute hogwash. Terrible battery life when they were new, and it just kept getting even worse really fast.
I could imagine the third party batteries being better. I’ve only ever had one set of Xbox One/Series controller rechargeable batteries (third party but AFAIK officially licensed) and they’re working just fine.
Battery tech has improved a lot since they came out and (at least for the other two systems mentioned, plus any other device I’ve replaced the battery for) you can often find batteries with better specs than the original for longer lasting (before recharge is required, can’t say yet about total lifetime).
It’s also not a bad idea to check if your batteries have become danger pillows, though the controller ones tend to be housed in hard plastic that makes it less obvious, but my wii u battery did feel like it had a bit of a bulge to it, leading to a nervous period where I had gotten rid of the old battery but was still waiting for the new one to be shipped lol.
Bro, we’ve been out of high school about 20 years now. Soooo yeah.
