autotldr Bot , to technology in Microsoft is holding a 'special event' on September 21st

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Summer is drawing to a close, which means the busy fall season of tech events is almost upon us.

Microsoft has marked its territory by sending out save-the-date invites to a “special event” in New York City on September 21st, but the company hasn’t provided any details on what to expect as yet.

This could very well be Microsoft’s major fall hardware event, during which the company typically reveals its latest Surface devices and other gear.

If so, that would mean Microsoft is moving back to its old late September slot after switching to an October date last year.

In any case, given the company’s focus over the past year or so, it’s likely to talk quite a bit about its various AI endeavors during this showcase.

Apple usually shows off its latest slate of iPhones (which may or may not have USB-C charging ports this year) in early- to mid-September, but it hasn’t confirmed a date yet.

@realcaseyrollins Are all maps remasters of the original MW2 maps? This game really doesn't feel like a new game, but was originally planned as a Modern Warfare 2 Remake extension to add original maps. That they will include new maps in the future is another good reason to believe that. This shouldn't be a new standalone game for full price.

Not seeing anyone mention Private Internet Access. Are they not good anymore?

MW2 had some awesome maps, I still play modded versions of a few of them on VR. Zombies mode sounds interesting too:

You’ll be able to team up with other squads for the first time and try to survive “massive hordes” of zombies.

I’m tempted to get one to use as a “little brother controller”. And just for the absurdity. I’ll wait for some more actual reviews to trickle in first.

Blackmist , to gaming in 8BitDo stuffed 16 buttons into its hand-crampingly small Micro controller

Yeah, no thanks.

I couldn’t even use the DSi for long periods. It’s just too thin to hold comfortably and you end up doing some sort of weird claw grip just to hold it.

Ended up playing mostly stylus based games like Professor Layton and Ghost Trick. I even played Zelda with the stylus.

My mouse has 19 buttons.

But why? Nintendo controllers are already pretty small.

Ok I’ll limit myself to saying something horrible to every other month. Then I can keep getting away with it forever

Russianranger ,

That sounds like a marketing bullet point; -Xbox - comes with 1x monthly use of the gamer word

half the length of an original NES controller

God damn. If you haven’t held an original NES controller since back in the day when you were a kid, lemme tell you: They are already fucking small. This thing would definitely suck to use unless you are under the age of 10 or have dwarfism (or possibly Donald Trump).

sub_ , to gaming in 8BitDo stuffed 16 buttons into its hand-crampingly small Micro controller

Yeah, I could see that for kids or just like in that screenshot, as macro pad.

Even the SN30 Pro was bit too small and uncomfortable for me, and I don’t even have big hands. The 8BitDo Pro 2 on the other hand, is a solid and affordable controller.

I like what 8BitDo has been doing over the years, good quality products under affordable price range, and sometimes quirky / out of the box designs. I do wish they’d make more PS5 compatible controllers, because PS5 is definitely lacking affordable 3rd party controllers.

Their pic of somebody using it for graphic design is something I hadn't even considered. I've seen other artists use JoyCons but these would connect to PC a lot more seamlessly.

Far more profitable to screw honest players by being soft on cheaters or people engaging in harassment and the like.

These would actually make for a very hilarious tournament of sorts…

Some pro Smash player is going to win a tournament just by using this controller.

My son would love this when he was 3yo. Now he is 7yo where DualSense is a bit too big while the his hori switch wired controller is getting worse.(buttons become a bit sticky) there should be official controllers for the 4-9yo range.

aperson ,

So, what you want is almost any other 8bitdo controller that they sell. They come in a range of sizes.

PenguinTD ,

I did check and does have a target in mind if his current controller not up to the task. But is seems hard to get a ps5 compatible one, so I will just settle with the switch variation.

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown , (edited )

Kids are sticky. lol.
Crack that hori open and clean it. The top shell and button caps can be washed in the sink if they’re just plastic. That’s probably where most of the sticky is.

PenguinTD ,

Yeah, it’s over warranty anyway so I might do that. :)
