Or XCox for short.
Is This real?
Asha Sharma, Xbox CEO, ran a poll on X earlier this week, asking fans whether Microsoft should use Xbox or XBOX. The results were in favor of XBOX,
Bold move asking for branding advice from that platform specifically
XBOXY MC BOXFACE was already taken?
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR ~~AWESOME~~ COOL.
Wow, I haven't read that sentence in a long time...
Where does it come from?
The 2000s, haha. Actually, now that I recall, @evidences@lemmy.world, it's ~~AWESOME~~ "COOL."
BUT CLOSE ENOUGH.
Wasn't that a bit on bash.org?
Apologies, I mean
WASNT THAT A BIT ON BASH.ORG?
pour one out for a real homie
I don't know where it comes from, but I first saw it on bash.org, now defunct.
bash.org, now defunct.
Yeah, there are several repositories that seek to replicate it, but at least last time I looked they're not particularly searchable. Another lemming did demonstrate that you can download the data and grep through it but I haven't been motivated to do so yet.
Cruise Control for COOL. Not Awesome. The alliteration is the point.
FUCK

TIL that Xbox is case-sensitive

XLOP
Pronounced "shlop" in China, perfect!
Big if true.
Don't yell please!
I will now pronounce it as ex-bo-ex
Ex-Be-Oh-Ex
Kiss bo kiss
"Well sure!"
"But I couldn't before!"
This play has everything
just give me my verification cans already
groundbreaking
I rolled my eyes so hard they went into my skull
Microslop just can't name things, I've accepted that, but now they managed to look stupid even while technically leaving the old name
Its bad that the trademark and branded logos match again?
And it now reads as XSLOP.
And then most style guides (and human beings) will just change it back. Like they already do with "Game Freak" and others. 🤷♂️
Those maniacs finally did it!
MSlop has a long history of poor names for things, so sure. Whatever...
The brand is saved!
why not Xbox Series One U
