It's Schrödinger's Xbox. Simultaneously dead, and simultaneously feeling more alive than ever. Despite mainstream negative sentiment towards Xbox and Microsoft in general, I've never been happier to be a gamer in this ecosystem. On paper, everything is better than ever, but fears for Xbox's long term viability as an ecosystem are clouding everything.

Finally, after almost a decade, I've replaced my battered Astro A50 headset. The Arctis Nova Pro Omni ticks every single box for multiplatform gamers, in an option far more affordable than its Elite cousin.
