shoutouts to furries decked in Xbox-themed outfits

gotta be one of my favourite genders

ALRIGHT GAMERS TIME TO POST MY FURSONAAA! Ica, he's, uh, an "emo" (talk about vom amirite?) he's like a doll, I dress him up and change his design every time I post him, it started as me experimenting with his design but honestly I like his design details being flexible. This isn't even his main outfit lol, I just really like how this art came out so I used it as my pfp.

Anyways, Xbox! I love the aesthetic of Xbox, and the Xbox brand. But, you aren't a true Xbox fan if you don't openly ABSOLUTELY DESPISE Xbox right now, right? XD

I grew up on the kinect! So I love that era of Xbox. And am heavily nostalgic towards it. I got an Xbox one when I was 13 (a year before the s/x box came out) and that's still my go-to console. That was actually a pretty rough time for me so playing rare replay (particularly ghoulies and kameo) really cheered me up and I have a strong love for those games because of it. And I still play kinect games every now and again--My first post on this acc is actually r63 of a character from a kinect game lol

though, for the current Xbox brand, yeah, no, they're awful. I am so, SO pissed off about the layoffs. Genuinely the new perfect dark game and everwild would have been the only things to get me to actually have an interest in getting a series x. Despite the fact I don't care for perfect dark or open world games, I LOVE rare and their IP's, even post-buyout, especially post buyout actually. And laying off the same people who brought them so much of their identity, Sea of thieves, the Xbox avatars, Rare Replay, and all of their incredible other series/re-releases is so sad.

oh and Halo, I mean, who thinks its a good idea to, after making a renowned record breaking trilogy, make a new game with developers who don't even like the IP? How's that going to reflect onto the fans? And how do you even get into the gaming industry making FPS games and not like halo? Some series bad taste imo. And I mean--going for a new audience but still doing a numbered entry building off an entire trilogy? Are you dumb? Reach was definitely in the right direction. I've only played the first three campaigns and the multiplayer for all the games in MCC, but I am really curious about 4

lastly I'll bring up the series, it's literally just an Xbone with bigger specs. Like, the menu is the exact same (minus these really corporate transition animations) the controller has a single new button, the console doesn't add any new features, it's just the xbox.... again. And the console isn't sexy. Like, come on, the 360 had an hourglass, the og xbox was thicc, chunky boy.... And than we get office equipment Xbone onwards. Actually, nevermind another another point--I think, fundementally, Xbox's strategy for making games is so counter intuitive. They want to be more like Nintendo's success but Nintendo is smart with their releases, not every new game they make is a breath of the wild, or mario odyssey. A lot of them are smaller titles, Pokopia, princess peach showtime, and rereleases of older titles with some added content, ala bowsers fury. I really think they could learn from that for a release shedule. Like, can you imagine a smaller Halo title? They can talk the talk about going for new audiences with Halo, but what if they tried that Halo megabloks game they cancelled? Or a 3D platformer where you play as a jackall? A visual novel of the events of Halo 2/3 from a covenant elites perspective? Stardew valley, but you're a bunch of human/covenant on a stranded piece of a halo ring? I think there's so much potential for smaller games for both Halo and their other franchises that they really neglect. The only recent example of them doing this I can think of is Battle Toads, which I played a bit of but didn't really like sadly.
