The newer console is expected to look & perform to a higher standard than last gen consoles. They could developers could push the last gen version of a game to the Series S & current gen version only to the X, but then people would rightfully be upset about buying the S when they could've just kept their Xbox One & got the same experience. It is on Microsoft for creating 2 drastically different performing consoles & calling them the same generation. If they wanted a cheaper model, they should've found other ways to keep the cost down without compromising performance. That, or just outright release the most demanding games on the X only & tell the S owners they're just out of luck
The issue isn't the series s, its the parity clause. When ppl bought the seires s knew that it came with some down sides hence why the cheap price. But ppl that bought the series X shouldn't be missing on games because of the series S. The serie s its ok for what it is but the parity clause shouldn't be the reason why xbox should be missing games. Thats my opinion as a non Xbox user.
@@Danilo_5809 Xbox designed these things to scale down like PC's. Dev's never want to do extra work, even when it's made easier to do so. Devs would rather goof off and snack on pizza 75% of the dev cycle, then rush the last quarter. We KNOW this, multiple devs have shown this.

Because let's be real, what they need is a Steam deck like handheld, which odds are 50/50 of happening is $ony is any indication.
@@skubaRu7 Honestly it really isn't. Both S and X are running the same OS.

Honest truth is Micro$oft should've NEVER released 2 SKUs like this in the 1st place splitting the hardware SKUs. 360 only made sense because it wasn't a base hardware SKU difference, it was the removable HDDs.

Did I miss Forza and flight sim not running on the S . How do other games run on the S but not these few ? I only have a series X so let me know if I’m wrong on that .
This video was so honest and good that I re-subscribed to your channel. I gave up on Xbox but I still have one so I still bother to keep up with the news that revolves around it. There hasn’t been any good news for a long time, sadly. Respect to you for addressing the unfortunate reality.
Ok explain something to me. Why is it this way, cuz of a slower or older hardware. Like 4 pc, everyone playing the same game, tho having different hardware. Why can't the XBSS be just like that, where the game runs at a lower framerate, resolution etc ...maybe I don't understand programming. But in PC right, with super power, u can chose not to run it at 4k. So being console games don't give u adjustments, like can't it simply detect and automatically run. I bought my son a XBSS and it's been great, honestly has crashed less then my X ...this seems silly idk
There are many reasons, for example: 1. Graphics Drivers: On PCs, graphics drivers for GPUs (like NVIDIA or AMD) are frequently updated to improve performance, add new features, or support emerging technologies like DLSS or ray tracing. These drivers allow for highly customizable graphics settings, which enable users to tweak the game’s performance and quality. In contrast, consoles like the Series S use a unified driver system optimized specifically for the hardware. Developers don’t have the flexibility to fine-tune performance after release, and there’s no real-time driver update to introduce new features. 2. RAM: The Xbox Series S has 10 GB of GDDR6 RAM, but only 8 GB is available for gaming, with the rest reserved for the system. On PCs, gamers can use anywhere from 8 GB to 32 GB or more, depending on their build. A game’s assets (like textures, shaders, and models) require a certain amount of memory to load efficiently. When scaling down graphics on a PC, users can adjust settings to free up RAM usage, but on the Series S, the game must run optimally within the fixed memory limits. This affects how much you can scale down graphics without encountering bottlenecks or issues like texture pop-in. 3. Shaders: PC GPUs are designed to handle different shader models and allow users to adjust shading quality from low to ultra settings. Consoles like the Series S, however, use custom GPU architectures optimized for specific shader tasks. While shader complexity can be reduced on a PC, it’s more challenging to adjust shader performance on a console without rewriting how shaders are utilized by the game, as the console’s GPU is built with a fixed shader architecture in mind. 4. Storage (SSD Size): The Xbox Series S comes with a 512 GB SSD, and while this is fast storage, its size is relatively small compared to high-end gaming PCs, which often have multiple terabytes of space. On PCs, users can choose whether to install high-resolution texture packs, which can be as large as 100 GB or more. However, on the Series S, developers need to balance game size and optimize storage usage carefully. Scaling down textures on a PC can save storage, but the Series S has to manage the same assets across all its games, limiting how much you can adjust this to improve performance.
@REFORGER_2023 wow! Yo. Speechless on the amount of info I just got lol ... Uk I use ti be a pc gamer. We'll b4 PS1 days, was rocking the first Unreal, UT, first farcry. Lol Everything u said makes sense, thus I'm thinking maybe going back to PC. Vs having to buy a new console every 4-5 years ...
HI I have all the Formats, Current favourite Platform is PC and Steam and if shop around for Game Deals . PC Games, can be far cheaper than the Xbox Digital Store, and PC now has a 4070 And a 7800x3d 👍
I understand you want to defend Xbox as an Xbox content creator but if there is a pattern with the Xbox Series S Optimization and other problems with Xbox ports, it tells something on the situation
Series S needs to be called and from a business perspective they just wanted people to buy the thing that can do what X does but doesn’t cost 500 dollars. They’d rather sell you something much cheaper than to have you “ not “ spend 500 dollars. It’s time for Xbox one and series to phase out fast. The one first,
The studios that complain about the Series S are hypocrites. Those studios don't complain about developing low-end pcs that are less powerful and less capable than the series S. Wasn't game science a mobile developer? So, developing a console game were new for them, and the game still runs poorly on pc and ps5. Maybe xbox wanted it optimized better before release. Larien Studios said that developing for different consoles was the challenge.
As a developer, I tell you right now the reason why games don’t come out on Xbox is because nobody wants to develop for the series S. Microsoft can easily fixed this by just dropping the S platform doing some sort of trade in program return your Xbox series S And we will send you an Xbox series X for this amount of dollars. If they did that they would make way more money by taking the hit they’ll probably recoup their money within the next two years because every game will come out on the Xbox plus their exclusives.
@@kevlowry I’m a PlayStation guy I have been since day one. I’ve migrated over to mainly PC I only play the exclusives on PlayStation these days The comment was food for thought maybe someone at Microsoft will read it.
@@kevlowrynah it's not an excuse the series S is seriously underpowered. Baldurs gate 3 they had to make a deal with Microsoft to get it on the platform because of the fact that games series S version have to have the same features as the series X. And split screen on the game on series S because it's underpowered by comparison to the series X. So split screen is a series X exclusive feature
The second you said backlog I was thinking it. I sometimes coast through the sales and games. I notice a good bunch of games I want to play. Whether it is on the 360, One, or the series consoles. Lol, I still need to dig through my own.
I agree, seeing Xbox make all these procedural mistakes and not foreplanning like that issue with the old Capcom Fighting game engines that delayed Capcom Fighting Collection 2 and the MVC Collection, that should've been hammered out a year ago. Microsoft should be more than capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time.
A lot of the games u mentioned, and gt the media attention isn't really for the US/Western market... It's the Eastern/European market where Xbox is struggling that this bad press really hurts
If they can develop for low end PCs, then the Xbox Series S shouldn't be that hard. it is basically a low to mid-range PC anyway. I have a series X and a somewhat High-end PC, so I am good either way. My niece has a Series S and she loves that thing. It plays Skyrim just fine for her.
You should’ve at Least done like my self & got Xbox Series X & Ps5 both displayed on OLED not the garbage budget series S. If this keeps happening then the S isn’t going to be worth owning anyhow.
Microsoft just need to drop the series s altogether or make series x the primary platform and when the developers optimize the game for series s they can put it in the shop to be purchased specifically for series s. Also, Microsoft, it would be nice to have some actual exclusive games for my dusty old xbox that doesn't much get used. Thank you nintendo for making the switch to scratch that gaming itch, I guess 🙄
All these new releases are overpriced anyways. By the time it comes to the series s you'll be able to buy these delayed releases on sale for a more reasonable price.
Now they release a series x digital version they dont have any prob for releasing the x versions compare to series s...or they should release only single mode for series s just 30fps and 60fps for x...if they release the digital versn of x instead of s from the start this wouldn't be a prob for the developers
I dont know if you read my comments, but i wouldnt watch if i didnt like your stuff. Ive been a blind pony for sure, and i wouldnt deny it. You are an xbot and embrace it. Ive seen other xbox guys do a 180 and not stick with "their console". Im sute tbere will be some good times.
The Series S greatly outsells the X. Therefore the Series S is Microsoft’s main console this generation. It’s gone way past the point where they could have pulled the S from sale. They’re going to insist on Series S support for the entire generation.
i would say this on the whole xbox is so hard to optimize for Soace marines 2 recently launched and was on all platforms the graphics are mwuah the game is solid and so have been many other 1st party and 3rd party. i don't want to think it but everytime now i see oh yeah the xbox is delayed indefintely or for a year one can;t help but thing sony is money hatting this
Tip of the day: Don't buy an Xbox in 2024. I'm not into fanboying a brand. I just want a platform where you can play the latest and greatest. Back in the day it was the Xbox 360. Nowadays it's the PS5. And if yourself love some eyecandy you have to wait for the PS5 Pro. Xbox hasn't anything to offer and it future looks bleak thx to Microsofts magnificent management skills.
So is Xbox series s really the hurdle for games not really being their fullest on the Xbox x? I'm wondering why they can't just make serious s games and Series x games
What? There's about 500 things that MSFT did wrong here. Portable gaming ain't going to save them. Apple ain't going to save them. Games are going to save them.
"play your back long"is ridiculous comment when games are being delayed because of the compatibility issues with the S and X. Hopefully someone who represents xbox will only make one nextgen console and let those that want to be economical play on cloud devices.
"They changed their tone real quick" dude they only got help after putting M$ on blast, the devs did right by the players and didnt hold a grudge so they can get the game out not really a gacha moment you may think it is. And stating the exclusive this as fact is kinda funny to, but meh that has been talk about to death at this point.
I have owned the Series X since about a month after release and I hate the Series S! Owners of Series X have suffered for it. Microsoft really screwed us over. I'm going PC.
xbox ready like many social media outlets can't admit when he is wrong about Wukong coming to xbox. Failing to do the research before putting out wrong info then claiming it was speculation is just like what they do at IGN maybe you should apply. "I don't really care about" comment shows his disconnect with gamers as a whole, he sounds salty AF because he got called out for putting out bad info about the S and Wukong.
Its all because of having to developing for the Series S also. Its stupid, develop for the Series X and then downgrade A game for the S. They screwed themselves...
I feel like developers will start building their games to run on the s and call it a day cause it will run on the X no problem, and that way, they keep their promise on the game running on both systems but will be a degraded game compared to the PS5
Those third party developers, can keep their games i can care less about another soul like game. I could buy it on the ps5, but i won´t because i am not interested. And i don´t want 25+ year old games, re released on next gen hardware. I´m looking at you Crapcom with your re release of Marvel VS Capcom Fighting Collection. I want new games on new hardware. I own those games either on my Sega Dreamcast, or on other gaming systems.
Hey Ray….mondo I love Microsoft. They know what their doing now. I’d have to say 360 generation was the worst time for Microsoft. Red rings of death? Randomly quitting games on me. Drove me nutz. On my end. I got the first Xbox. So I’m an og. Anywayz, I can tell you’ve been hitting the gym 😊 Your more rounded, looking. No homo to people reading this. I just absolutely love the human body. No I’m not bi either. I just greatly respect ✊ my fellow man/woman who takes good care of their own body. 😊
Im sorry but this console generation is already seeing performance degradation. Both team green and blue have delivered duds, Sony is already releasing a Pro console 2 years earlier than last Gen. While the series X can barely run Dragons Dogma 2 . The issue here is game development is suffering from lack of optimization focus, while focusing on what upscaler gives big number. Black Myth Wukong has you turn on frame gen to get 60 fps on systems not running a 4090.
Did I miss something, what exactly did “Apple Stole”?

Well, yes. But also no.

it's ironic that this is the exact issue with Sony in the vr space.
The vcr xbox one can cloud stream age of mythology just fine thats good enough for me when I don't wana sit on the PC
This video was so honest and good that I re-subscribed to your channel. I gave up on Xbox but I still have one so I still bother to keep up with the news that revolves around it. There hasn’t been any good news for a long time, sadly. Respect to you for addressing the unfortunate reality.
Do you think it would be possible to get the Xbox App into MacOS and use the proper GamePass?
I am pissed off that they decided to update the Xbox one and for what? Nothing was added.
Ok explain something to me. Why is it this way, cuz of a slower or older hardware. Like 4 pc, everyone playing the same game, tho having different hardware. Why can't the XBSS be just like that, where the game runs at a lower framerate, resolution etc ...maybe I don't understand programming. But in PC right, with super power, u can chose not to run it at 4k. So being console games don't give u adjustments, like can't it simply detect and automatically run. I bought my son a XBSS and it's been great, honestly has crashed less then my X ...this seems silly idk
There are many reasons, for example:
1. Graphics Drivers: On PCs, graphics drivers for GPUs (like NVIDIA or AMD) are frequently updated to improve performance, add new features, or support emerging technologies like DLSS or ray tracing. These drivers allow for highly customizable graphics settings, which enable users to tweak the game’s performance and quality. In contrast, consoles like the Series S use a unified driver system optimized specifically for the hardware. Developers don’t have the flexibility to fine-tune performance after release, and there’s no real-time driver update to introduce new features.
2. RAM: The Xbox Series S has 10 GB of GDDR6 RAM, but only 8 GB is available for gaming, with the rest reserved for the system. On PCs, gamers can use anywhere from 8 GB to 32 GB or more, depending on their build. A game’s assets (like textures, shaders, and models) require a certain amount of memory to load efficiently. When scaling down graphics on a PC, users can adjust settings to free up RAM usage, but on the Series S, the game must run optimally within the fixed memory limits. This affects how much you can scale down graphics without encountering bottlenecks or issues like texture pop-in.
3. Shaders: PC GPUs are designed to handle different shader models and allow users to adjust shading quality from low to ultra settings. Consoles like the Series S, however, use custom GPU architectures optimized for specific shader tasks. While shader complexity can be reduced on a PC, it’s more challenging to adjust shader performance on a console without rewriting how shaders are utilized by the game, as the console’s GPU is built with a fixed shader architecture in mind.
4. Storage (SSD Size): The Xbox Series S comes with a 512 GB SSD, and while this is fast storage, its size is relatively small compared to high-end gaming PCs, which often have multiple terabytes of space. On PCs, users can choose whether to install high-resolution texture packs, which can be as large as 100 GB or more. However, on the Series S, developers need to balance game size and optimize storage usage carefully. Scaling down textures on a PC can save storage, but the Series S has to manage the same assets across all its games, limiting how much you can adjust this to improve performance.
@REFORGER_2023 wow! Yo. Speechless on the amount of info I just got lol ... Uk I use ti be a pc gamer. We'll b4 PS1 days, was rocking the first Unreal, UT, first farcry. Lol Everything u said makes sense, thus I'm thinking maybe going back to PC. Vs having to buy a new console every 4-5 years ...
What xbox needs is a starwars battlefront exclusive seriously
HI I have all the Formats, Current favourite Platform is PC and Steam and if shop around for Game Deals . PC Games, can be far cheaper than the Xbox Digital Store, and PC now has a 4070 And a 7800x3d 👍
i have a xbox S and it is preforming perfectly in my opinion. and for sure for that prizerange.
I understand you want to defend Xbox as an Xbox content creator but if there is a pattern with the Xbox Series S Optimization and other problems with Xbox ports, it tells something on the situation
Series S needs to be called and from a business perspective they just wanted people to buy the thing that can do what X does but doesn’t cost 500 dollars. They’d rather sell you something much cheaper than to have you “ not “ spend 500 dollars.
It’s time for Xbox one and series to phase out fast. The one first,
this problem will be same for xbox handheld if it released
The studios that complain about the Series S are hypocrites. Those studios don't complain about developing low-end pcs that are less powerful and less capable than the series S.
Wasn't game science a mobile developer? So, developing a console game were new for them, and the game still runs poorly on pc and ps5. Maybe xbox wanted it optimized better before release. Larien Studios said that developing for different consoles was the challenge.
kudos to you Raye for speaking the truth, even though you are an Xbox channel to call them out on what they need to be called out on
As a developer, I tell you right now the reason why games don’t come out on Xbox is because nobody wants to develop for the series S. Microsoft can easily fixed this by just dropping the S platform doing some sort of trade in program return your Xbox series S And we will send you an Xbox series X for this amount of dollars. If they did that they would make way more money by taking the hit they’ll probably recoup their money within the next two years because every game will come out on the Xbox plus their exclusives.
Sounds like a excuse🫡🤣
@@kevlowry I’m a PlayStation guy I have been since day one. I’ve migrated over to mainly PC I only play the exclusives on PlayStation these days The comment was food for thought maybe someone at Microsoft will read it.
@@kevlowrynah it's not an excuse the series S is seriously underpowered. Baldurs gate 3 they had to make a deal with Microsoft to get it on the platform because of the fact that games series S version have to have the same features as the series X. And split screen on the game on series S because it's underpowered by comparison to the series X. So split screen is a series X exclusive feature
@MatrixNetworx still a excuse but I understand ur pov
Yeah it's sad because I enjoy playing the Series X more than the PS5. If a game comes out that is on all platforms I always get the Xbox version.
The second you said backlog I was thinking it. I sometimes coast through the sales and games. I notice a good bunch of games I want to play. Whether it is on the 360, One, or the series consoles. Lol, I still need to dig through my own.
Ive been playing more jrpgs and other Japanese games since western games haven’t been living up to expectations.
I agree, seeing Xbox make all these procedural mistakes and not foreplanning like that issue with the old Capcom Fighting game engines that delayed Capcom Fighting Collection 2 and the MVC Collection, that should've been hammered out a year ago. Microsoft should be more than capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time.
A lot of the games u mentioned, and gt the media attention isn't really for the US/Western market... It's the Eastern/European market where Xbox is struggling that this bad press really hurts
just imagine gta 6 on series s 15 fps 😂
Xbox is going to get all the activation games on their market store
If they can develop for low end PCs, then the Xbox Series S shouldn't be that hard. it is basically a low to mid-range PC anyway. I have a series X and a somewhat High-end PC, so I am good either way. My niece has a Series S and she loves that thing. It plays Skyrim just fine for her.
That’s why I got both the series s & PlayStation 5 this generation 😅
You should’ve at Least done like my self & got Xbox Series X & Ps5 both displayed on OLED not the garbage budget series S. If this keeps happening then the S isn’t going to be worth owning anyhow.
So perplexity does the same thing as Google does when you search for a problem that’s what you’re saying right but Google is free
Microsoft just need to drop the series s altogether or make series x the primary platform and when the developers optimize the game for series s they can put it in the shop to be purchased specifically for series s. Also, Microsoft, it would be nice to have some actual exclusive games for my dusty old xbox that doesn't much get used. Thank you nintendo for making the switch to scratch that gaming itch, I guess 🙄
Playstation exclusivity has me (via my kids) hurting, especially since some stuff doesn't even get pc release for years
All these new releases are overpriced anyways. By the time it comes to the series s you'll be able to buy these delayed releases on sale for a more reasonable price.
So glad none of this shit affects me.. I use my series x for 3 games, all racing sims.. and a fanatec wheel.. I'm good..
Lol @ the Aunt Jemima comment! 😅
Series S should have never existed. They should have had a disk and digital version of the X.
Now they release a series x digital version they dont have any prob for releasing the x versions compare to series s...or they should release only single mode for series s just 30fps and 60fps for x...if they release the digital versn of x instead of s from the start this wouldn't be a prob for the developers
I love my series x, and love how it upscale older games on it. Never been a fan of the series s, also digital consoles don't interest me at all
I dont know if you read my comments, but i wouldnt watch if i didnt like your stuff. Ive been a blind pony for sure, and i wouldnt deny it. You are an xbot and embrace it. Ive seen other xbox guys do a 180 and not stick with "their console". Im sute tbere will be some good times.
I agree with you about the other games but I'm pissed about black myth wukong that needs to be on the box
Sony don’t mind throwing a little money and making exclusive deals or getting games made first. Xbox needs to say oookk cod is Xbox only
So is this for content? If you have Gamepass this is a non issue
The Series S greatly outsells the X. Therefore the Series S is Microsoft’s main console this generation. It’s gone way past the point where they could have pulled the S from sale. They’re going to insist on Series S support for the entire generation.
Microsoft isnt furious, this guy is.
I hate saying this, but I left Xbox about three years ago and build a PC and it’s been the best thing that I’ve ever done. I don’t play console.
i would say this on the whole xbox is so hard to optimize for Soace marines 2 recently launched and was on all platforms the graphics are mwuah the game is solid and so have been many other 1st party and 3rd party. i don't want to think it but everytime now i see oh yeah the xbox is delayed indefintely or for a year one can;t help but thing sony is money hatting this
Tip of the day: Don't buy an Xbox in 2024. I'm not into fanboying a brand. I just want a platform where you can play the latest and greatest. Back in the day it was the Xbox 360. Nowadays it's the PS5. And if yourself love some eyecandy you have to wait for the PS5 Pro. Xbox hasn't anything to offer and it future looks bleak thx to Microsofts magnificent management skills.
Microsoft should release new Xbox in 2026. Series S is big problem to port games into this 10 GB RAM console. Steam Deck has more RAM
So is Xbox series s really the hurdle for games not really being their fullest on the Xbox x? I'm wondering why they can't just make serious s games and Series x games
What? There's about 500 things that MSFT did wrong here. Portable gaming ain't going to save them. Apple ain't going to save them. Games are going to save them.
Damn Ray out here going all in on talking down and being condescending towards anyone that doesn't share his opinion.
"play your back long"is ridiculous comment when games are being delayed because of the compatibility issues with the S and X. Hopefully someone who represents xbox will only make one nextgen console and let those that want to be economical play on cloud devices.
Apologies to all the short back gamers who I told to “play their back long” 😔
@@XboxReady way to take it personal and avoid the point of the conversation. Can't handle a little criticism.
I hear killer instinct 3 is in working progress?
Should be Killer Instinct 4, really, because we already have 3 KIs.
"They changed their tone real quick" dude they only got help after putting M$ on blast, the devs did right by the players and didnt hold a grudge so they can get the game out not really a gacha moment you may think it is. And stating the exclusive this as fact is kinda funny to, but meh that has been talk about to death at this point.
I have owned the Series X since about a month after release and I hate the Series S! Owners of Series X have suffered for it. Microsoft really screwed us over. I'm going PC.
xbox ready like many social media outlets can't admit when he is wrong about Wukong coming to xbox. Failing to do the research before putting out wrong info then claiming it was speculation is just like what they do at IGN maybe you should apply. "I don't really care about" comment shows his disconnect with gamers as a whole, he sounds salty AF because he got called out for putting out bad info about the S and Wukong.
Microsoft fault should have never made Xbox Series S.
The Xbox Series S should have been a streaming box. Releasing a weak sauce model to the hardware was asinine of Microsoft.
How is the S the problem when they are still making games for last gen? and the Switch? lol
Genshin Impact is coming to xbox in November.
Flap Jack Flippin' coming spring 2025 from Aunt Jemima Games.

Its all because of having to developing for the Series S also. Its stupid, develop for the Series X and then downgrade A game for the S. They screwed themselves...
I feel like developers will start building their games to run on the s and call it a day cause it will run on the X no problem, and that way, they keep their promise on the game running on both systems but will be a degraded game compared to the PS5

Guys got a ps5 in the background pre-ordered the $700 pro for gta 6 ray's now a pony. All his videos now are saying xbox is bad or sucks PONYYYY
Those third party developers, can keep their games i can care less about another soul like game.
I could buy it on the ps5, but i won´t because i am not interested.
And i don´t want 25+ year old games, re released on next gen hardware.
I´m looking at you Crapcom with your re release of Marvel VS Capcom Fighting Collection.
I want new games on new hardware.
I own those games either on my Sega Dreamcast, or on other gaming systems.
Hey capcom is delivery on the RE games and that's all i care about .
Hey Ray….mondo
I love Microsoft. They know what their doing now. I’d have to say 360 generation was the worst time for Microsoft. Red rings of death? Randomly quitting games on me. Drove me nutz.
On my end. I got the first Xbox. So I’m an og.
Anywayz, I can tell you’ve been hitting the gym 😊
Your more rounded, looking.
No homo to people reading this. I just absolutely love the human body. No I’m not bi either. I just greatly respect ✊ my fellow man/woman who takes good care of their own body. 😊

I love my series S 🎮
Im sorry but this console generation is already seeing performance degradation. Both team green and blue have delivered duds, Sony is already releasing a Pro console 2 years earlier than last Gen. While the series X can barely run Dragons Dogma 2 . The issue here is game development is suffering from lack of optimization focus, while focusing on what upscaler gives big number. Black Myth Wukong has you turn on frame gen to get 60 fps on systems not running a 4090.
I hate these PlayStation deals because there not fair especially insomiac which made the spider man games these deals suck😢
my first generation with xbox series x & games skipping not good love gamepass subscription & black myth is crazy goty contender
