[fiery python]

And one GPU manufacturer is releasing the card with an RGB GPU support pole 😂

[halcyon stratus]

The extrperna, gpu box I was looking at for my Mac only had 2 slots of space lol

[true parrot]

yeah I saw that too haha.. soon they need engineers to build a support structure

and of course the almost 2000 dollar price >_< .. just too much

I really hope AMD will come out with some great cards for normal prices

[halcyon stratus]

Dream light valley doesn’t county quest items that are in your house chest when showing if you are ready to complete a quest

[fiery python]

Has Midi bought one yet already?

[halcyon stratus]

I neede 10 of something and now I have 89!

[deep delta]

guys i have a q. should i turn my gaming laptop in (im still in the return period) for a macbook pro? it's so i can afford the steam deck. i already have a series x + switch

[fiery python]

That's up to you

[true parrot]

bit of a luxury problem there haha

[deep delta]

lmao sometimes i forget im being a lil spoiled

[fiery python]

Depending on the gaming laptop, I would have thought the MacBook Pro would be more expensive. Unless you're going low spec.

[deep delta]

lower spec

im using it for school. the gaming laptop kind of distracts me because i have adhd

[brave junco]

Macbook pro? Gaming laptop? Lol.

[deep delta]

i have an asus rog g14

[true parrot]

and my guess is the Macbook pro's batterylife will be a tad bit better

[fiery python]

Just keep in mind you won't get a Steam Deck any time soon, unless you're paying a scalper.

[deep delta]

i didnt say anything LOLOLOl

[true parrot]

I thought they ramped up the production of the steamdeck?

[fiery python]

Yes you did.

[deep delta]

oh i get my email monday.

i preordered it a while ago and yes they ramped up production. it'll be here in 2-3 weeks

[halcyon stratus]

I get email every day

I wish I didn’t

[fiery python]

They ramped up production, but there's still a huge queue. They're shipping out the Q3 pre-orders now.

[deep delta]

im q3

[true parrot]

if ever I will get one, I think it will be the next version of it. For now the hardware is not quite right for me.

[deep delta]

right after. according to deckbot i have 5 days until i get my email

[rough inlet]

Using Sennheiser HD599 with my XSX but I really want to go wireless, would going to SteelSeries Nova 7X be a downgrade?

[true parrot]

I think you need to check reviews for that

[deep delta]

also i dont mind waiting a few weeks since i have the lsat

the only downside to macs are no cloud gaming/xbox app

[fiery python]

You can do cloud gaming on the Mac

[deep delta]

oh how

[sage ice]

xbox.com/play

[deep delta]

ok will it read my xbox controller

[fiery python]

Yes

[deep delta]

does the graphics depend on the specs of ur laptop if ur cloud gaming

[fiery python]

No

[sage ice]

it is like streaming video

[fiery python]

Otherwise it wouldn't be cloud gaming

[deep delta]

word. macbook it is + steam deck. already have my series x and love it

[halcyon stratus]

It is max 1080p right now which any laptop can handle

[deep delta]

everyone on steam deck discord is like just sell ur series x. and im like no. i love it. lol.

[halcyon stratus]

Steamdeck is very overrated

[deep delta]

i kinda turned it into a mini desktop too

[fiery python]

It's your first world problem decision to make, not theirs.

[true parrot]

I kinda feel the same... overrated and quite underpowered

[deep delta]

agreed. takes a lot of tweaking. i just like handhelds.

[fiery python]

I like my Steam Deck a lot.

[halcyon stratus]

It is one of the few purchases I actually regret

[deep delta]

i just want a handheld more powerful than a switch. i had a deck and really liked it minus the tweaking

[rich aurora]

This might suggest more than 450w 😔

[deep delta]

i regretted it too. only cause i did not have an xbox when i had it.

[true parrot]

dear lord haha that is nuts..

[halcyon stratus]

Someone is going to burn their house down trying to power these things lol

[rich aurora]

That adapter is required on all RTX 4090 cards and is mandatory from nvidia

[true parrot]

the power draw alone is enough reason for me and probably a lot of people now to not get one

[fiery python]

Saves on your heating though 😄

[true parrot]

Got the Series S for that

[rich aurora]

Take in mind the RTX4090 used a similar adapter, but it only used 3 ATX connectors instead of 4

[deep delta]

the ppl on steam deck discord are insanely toxic 😦 lmao

[rich aurora]

And that had a 450w load so add another cable and thats 600w

[sage ice]

is it an official server?

[deep delta]

official to the steamdeck reddit. very very active

[fiery python]

So no

[sage ice]

so no, that is not official

[deep delta]

yea tech not.

it's the most popular one. i dont think steam deck has an official discord so its the closest you'll get.

[rich aurora]

Average reddit behavior to be toxic, specialy on PC related topics

[deep delta]

yeah they hate me for owning a switch

[rich aurora]

Not surprising tbh

[gray latch]

rude

[deep delta]

just the mere presence of a switch is apparently a disgrace. same with xbox. "just get a pc"

[gray latch]

ppl like that are why I could never get into slash dot back in the day

[rich aurora]

I don't get that mindset really

[gray latch]

me neither

[smoky crater]

My new xbox one s is crazy

[deep delta]

it's like pc master race or something

[smoky crater]

Best Quality

[sage ice]

and you are kinda spreading that thought here sharing how that server is

[wicked orchid]

Is anyone here from Austria I wanna ask for the prices of xbox series x

[deep delta]

do you guys know any good portable monitors for series x? i really hate my current monitor (its so pixelated)

its a faster monitor for gaming but the display is not great

[brave junco]

What's the resolution on your current monitor?

[rich aurora]

I don't know about portable monitors

[sage ice]

some nice portable options coming out for the Series S

[deep delta]

let me check. i got it for super cheap at best buy so probs not good. it has a 165 hz refresh rate and fast response rate but the display sucks

[wicked orchid]

Is anyone here from Austria I wanna ask for the prices of xbox series x anyone knows the price

[deep delta]

it's so bad i dont even see it on best buy anymore. let me look at my order history

i got it in july

[sage ice]

google will help

[deep delta]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-nitro-xf243y-pbmiiprx-23-8-full-hd-ips-monitor-with-amd-radeon-freesync-165hz-2-x-hdmi-2-0-ports-1-x-display-port/6425559.p?skuId=6425559

im pretty sure its this one

[sage ice]

that isnt a portable monitor lol

[fiery python]

They never said it was.

[sage ice]

implied it was

[rich aurora]

HDMI 2.0 😬

[fiery python]

No, that's their current monitor.

[deep delta]

actually no its not

i think my monitor might be worse than this one. but its similar.

so im running a series x on it and it's..... not the best experience. def wanna get a better monitor

[trail harness]

I just tricked someone into thinking there was a fly on their screen lol

[rich aurora]

And check that the monitor is using HDMI 2.1 please

Because HRR content might not be able to work on 2.0

[deep delta]

what's the difference? sorry im really bad with monitors i dont know much.

[trail harness]

I wish all monitors would display their port versions prominently ngl

That's an important spec

[deep delta]

i also noticed that like the edge browser isn't full screen

[rich aurora]

2.0 usually can't pull anything beyond 60 hz

[fiery python]

That’s not true

[rich aurora]

Is theorical but the spec is a mess

[fiery python]

It’s not theoretical at all.

[deep delta]

yea i was weirded out cause my laptop is running my xbox games smoother than my xbox series x....

i doubt my laptop is more powerful than a series x lol

[fiery python]

2.0 can handle up to 240Hz

[trail harness]

I believe 2.0 can do up to 144 Hz at 1080p

[fiery python]

240 at 1080

[deep delta]

yea thats what i have it set as i think

[fiery python]

144 at 1440

[deep delta]

the colors are just terrible too

like its a decent budget friendly one but i want to get a better one. i dont have a lot of space so i want one a similar size (maybe even smaller like a portable one idc) that just has better color and less pixels

less pixelated i mean

[tired hare]

!help

How do I see the bot commands for this server?

[lyric jetty]

you don't

[tired hare]

What bot(s) is this server using?

[lyric jetty]

you don't need to know

[trail harness]

I have a 240 hz monitor with HDMI 1.4 lol

Fortunately it also has displayport that supports the full refresh rate

[tired hare]

I'm wondering how you guys keep in running smoothly in here with what seems to be no bots.

[fiery python]

We have bots.

[tired hare]

Are they custom or something that's available for others?

[trail harness]

In short, proper enforcement of rules is how they do it.

[fiery python]

Bit of a mix.

[trail harness]

I assume certain spammy messages automatically get yeeted by a bot and the mods get notified.

[tired hare]

You don't have to be specific, but can you give me a yes/no confirmation on if you use one of these bots:

MEE6, Dyno, Carl, Probot

[fiery python]

I don't recall. Things have changed a few times over the years.

[deep delta]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-ultragear-32-led-qhd-amd-freesync-premium-with-hdr-10-displayport-hdmi-black/6437474.p?skuId=6437474 is this one good

[fiery python]

But I know we don't use MEE6

[deep delta]

god i hate mee6

[brave junco]

Mee6 isn't that bad.

[lyric jetty]

any sane individual hates that NFT peddler

[deep delta]

it's spammy

[tired hare]

Is there anything you find that is missing or could be improved in the bots you folks are using?

[trail harness]

Is it possible for a server to hide bots? It would not seem so to me

[fiery python]

Are you here to try and pitch your bot or something? You're asking a lot of info that you don't really need to know.

[trail harness]

Sus questions go br

[deep delta]

is the seagate 2tb expansion card worth it or should i get a new monitor first?? decisions decisions

[autumn viper]

If you make the bot roles not hoisted and hoist enough roles above it, you could, but you can’t directly “hide” bots without revoking their access, which would then make them useless.

[fiery python]

Two very different things. And again, decisions for you to make because only you can say if something is worth it to you.

[deep delta]

1tb i meant. oof

[deep delta]

idk what's on my xbox thats taking up so much space.

[tired hare]

No, I'm trying to understand the needs of large servers from a bot perspective. I run some large communities which we have developed custom bots for. Trying to figure out if it's something that would be worth making available to other servers.

[fiery python]

Check your storage then. It tells you.

[fiery python]

So basically yes, then.

[deep delta]

there was 260 gigs gone with nothing on it when i just opened it. i assumed maybe like 100 gigs max would be gone cause it's never actually 1 tb.

[tired hare]

I'm here to ask what your needs are and not pitch anything.

[fiery python]

Storage drives are never the full capacity and the OS also uses a chunk.

[deep delta]

there must be some preinstalled apps or something that are taking up space.

[deep delta]

yea but 260 gigs? idk

[fiery python]

Series X has 802GB usable space.

[deep delta]

ah ok it makes sense now

[fiery python]

The drive capacity isn't 1TB to begin with. That's how it is with storage drives

[deep delta]

i think thats what it was

[fiery python]

https://www.howtogeek.com/123268/windows-hard-drive-wrong-capacity/

[trail harness]

Can you use external SSDs with XBox?

[deep delta]

yea i knew that i just didnt know the extent (although i was already gonna get 1 tb expansion anyway so i didnt really care)

[long maple]

yeah but they wont play Series optimized games from them

[deep delta]

yea but i dont think you can access ur games immediately

[short mantle]

I see today is ‘ask 1000 questions instead of looking it up yourself’ day.

[trail harness]

Google doesn't work well for me. At all.

[fiery python]

Wait, that isn’t every day?

[short mantle]

lol

[brave wasp]

Andor is pretty good so far, much more dark and grounded than other Star Wars stuff.
Feels more like The Expanse or something, but with SW aliens

[grave finch]

fun fact

[autumn viper]

I can’t read that…

[sage ice]

same

[grave finch]

google the spaghetti-tree hoax

[frigid osprey]

do you think rock star will make gta6 for the new consoles only??

[trail harness]

I can by clicking on it

[autumn viper]

I clicked on it but I still can’t read it

[sage ice]

I dont think GTA6 will be on last gen

[long maple]

yeah same they have to move on eventually

[sage ice]

or will will release last gen only, then 12 months later release on current gen

[long maple]

you think thats why they released the expanded n enhanced version so they could get used to new consoles?

[autumn viper]

Tried on my phone and I could read it, heard about that a while ago

[grave finch]

there will barely be any new content for last gen consoles from now on

[worn shale]

gta 6 will most likely be next gen only

[frigid osprey]

if you think about it theres wont be anymore gta5 updates the old gen

[tired hare]

@fiery python Can you add me as a friend so I can ask you something through DM? Promise I won't be annoying.

[autumn viper]

I think they wanted more money personally, but I don’t work there so I dunno their actual motives

[eager maple]

how's everyone doing today?

[late pasture]

Does prepaid credit card work for gamepass subscription?

[long maple]

doing well just playing through Steel Rising

[eager maple]

yes, prepaid debit , bank debit ,credit card

[eager maple]

how is that?

[dark sparrow]

Finished one of the two competitions i had to play at today.

[eager maple]

what comp/

[long maple]

enjoying it so far, not many varied enemies, boss fights are cool.. but i am awful at it so waited till they fixed the assist mode which allows achievements now. so basically running around with unlimited health.

[tardy osprey]

hola

[dark sparrow]

Band stuff

[eager maple]

aww heck yeah , you got something i can listen to?

[dark sparrow]

Not without revealing my hometown

[fiery python]

No

[frigid osprey]

@dark sparrow pretty cool making music is awsome

[dark sparrow]

Try to avoid ping

[eager maple]

i'll be waiting for the album to drop then

[dark sparrow]

It's marching band, there isn't any album.

[frigid osprey]

New godsmack single 9/28

[eager maple]

godsmack got some new new!!!!

[fiery python]

It doesn't affect achievements now?

[eager maple]

lets goo

[frigid osprey]

surrender

[long maple]

they patched it since yesterday, some difficulty achievements dont unlock with it turned on, and there is also a point of no return when you reach Versailles might be my next area. also they adding NG+ some point next week.

[eager maple]

my body is ready

[fiery python]

So achievements are still affected then?

[frigid osprey]

sullys body is ready also he looks like he 90lbs

[long maple]

well no thats how they intended it to be, so not everyone can just rush through with assist-mode turned on.

[fiery python]

You said it allows achievements now. What's the actual difference then? It allowed them before, just not difficulty related ones.

[limpid flicker]

Yes, I'm confused trying to follow this, too.

[long maple]

when I turned on Assist Mode before all the achievements bugged out and now the patch fixed them retroactively. that was on all systems

[fiery python]

Ah ok

[limpid flicker]

I see.

[long maple]

lol got there in the end, just tired as usual

[delicate wing]

hello, im having issues with some xbox settings, anyone knows where can I find help for this?

[limpid flicker]

I do appreciate it when games let us set our own challenge level.

[grave osprey]

#233805809346150400 maybe

[brave wasp]

Wonder why I can't play the open beta for CoD, it keeps asking if I own it

Ooooh, it was mad cuz I pre-downloaded it

[lyric jetty]

hahahah one person managed to 1000G Yum Yum before it was pulled

TA says they had a playtime of 55 hours

[sage ice]

jeez

[long maple]

yeah they pulled it pretty quickly

[limpid flicker]

I enjoyed that game, but I could not have played 55 hours straight.

[brave wasp]

Good lord you have to go through a ridiculous amount of crap just to start up MW2 💀

[lyric jetty]

it's not that much, you launch the game and accept the code of conduct

[dim harbor]

hullo. if i pre-order the new COD game and play a lot of the open beta, will i still be allowed to cancel the pre-order if i decide i don't like it?

[eager maple]

yes

[lyric jetty]

you don't even need to pre-order, the beta is open

[dim harbor]

oh open neato

[eager maple]

lol of course , go to xbox.com then handle it in order history , more help and info in support

[brave wasp]

Launch game, accept all the things, get an update, sit there while you wait for DemonWare to do its thing, make sure your Activision name is the one you wanna use, load datacenters, then finally get to the main menu

[fair harbor]

Guys

[tired hare]

Okay. Thanks for your help.

[fair harbor]

How do i share my xbox screen to discord??

[near crane]

Is cyberpunk worth it yet?

[worn shale]

im told its worth it

[long maple]

well after people watched the Anime Edgerunners tons of new players seem to like it now

[worn shale]

imma watch edgerunners but i wont play the game

[long maple]

it ran well on SeriesX when I played it last time. need to play some more

[near crane]

Is it still on sale?

[inner herald]

How do i share my xbox screen to discord??

[autumn viper]

You don’t

[obtuse gazelle]

💀

[autumn viper]

It’s not something you can do

[sage ice]

you can, with a capture card

[autumn viper]

But that’s not with just the console then is it

[lyric jetty]

nobody ever said could it be done with just the console

the question was "How do i share my xbox screen to discord?"

[frail helm]

You can also mirror your screen to your PC and capture that window.

[lunar panther]

Easiest method is to remote play via the Xbox app and then share that window

[worthy flicker]

Hi

[minor mango]

Greetings all

[autumn viper]

I don’t think screen mirroring is a thing on Xbox, at least anymore, but yeah there’s remote play/cloud gaming

[frail helm]

Technically it is, but yeah, i more meant remote play lol

[mellow roost]

Prisoner rescue is a pretty fun game mode. Do y'all like it too?

[lyric jetty]

its so so

it might grow on me overtime

deek knows all about that

i want to play other things but also.. more disney

😂

[scarlet river]

I tried GeForce Now, streaming Steam games is just.... horrible.

And don't even try to use it on an Android TV. Good luck if anything needs any sort of keyboard/mouse response!

0/10, would not recommend.

[lyric jetty]

everytime I run through mid I think the bit of rubble in the distance is a person

[covert gulch]

yo i’m happy

[dim spindle]

Is that the mp5?

[lyric jetty]

that is indeed the mp5

[covert gulch]

is this mw2?

[mellow roost]

Yes, and yes.

[dim spindle]

Ayyyy the og mp5. Good to see it return yet again

[covert gulch]

oh nice, i’m saving to get a next gen xbox series x and mw2

so it will take me 6 months something like that

[dim spindle]

Pretty cool mp5 variant

[covert gulch]

what you play on

[dim spindle]

I can't wait to use that Tar tho

[lyric jetty]

MW2 on Series X

[covert gulch]

nice saving for that bouta take a nice 5 months lol

i’m also gonna need a like 144hz monitor so i might need to save more than 6 months

[dim spindle]

Ur buying a series x plus a monitor?

[scarlet river]

If you buy a monitor for your Xbox, make sure it properly supports your Xbox.

I'm talking about resolution and refresh rate.

[covert gulch]

i have 7-8 months so 👍

[scarlet river]

Series X supports 60Hz and 120Hz, so make sure your display can do one or both of those.

[covert gulch]

if it’s 144hz i can set it at 120hz i think

[scarlet river]

Be sure you can. Far too many people try to use gaming monitors on the Series X only to find out that their monitor won't run the required refresh rate.

[lyric jetty]

I have a 144Hz and can set it to 120

[scarlet river]

ok? I didn't say it wasn't.

I said GeForce Now on an Android TV and trying to play a Steam title was bad.

I use xCloud on a semi-regular basis and it works wonderfully. Even Stadia worked well (when I used it).

[dusky hazel]

is detroit become human on xbox

[scarlet river]

What does your Google-Fu tell you?

[dusky hazel]

i’ve seen xbox one and ps4 comparison thumbnails on the reccomended results

nothing on the xbox app tho

[scarlet river]

How could you find comparison thumbnails for something that does not exist on the platform?

[dusky hazel]

search up “detroit become human xbox” and look at the second image

[scarlet river]

You mean THIS https://youtu.be/_H1hIe88Ej8 ?

[deep nexus]

Wait, DBH is on Xbox?

[lyric jetty]

no

[long maple]

check that # though, its on the Internet must be true

[dusky hazel]

yeah

[long maple]

they should have school classes for Google 101

[scarlet river]

Try watching the video. Because the video just has a black box under 'Xbox One X'. Because...

[deep nexus]

Has anyone here played RDR2?

[scarlet river]

The game is not on Xbox

[dusky hazel]

got it thanks

[long maple]

some of it, was bored to tears 😄

plenty of games are not on pc that are available xbox

Dear Xbox,

Please add more original Xbox games to backwards compatibility, I can make a list of suggestions because I have many disks I'd like to use on my Series X but most if not all are completely unsupported or the 360 version is which is saddening. 😦

you can only do it solo up until killing Shadowman

I don't think that just straight up buying a company will only have good outcomes. Getting COD is already pretty big deal for gamers left and right crying even tho it's clear that Microsoft will make deals with Sony to not take the game off their platform. Doing this with GTA would make Sony fans hate Microsoft only more. So not really better outcomes for everyone.

[dark sparrow]

You need 4 people to be able to kill Shadowmam

[lyric jetty]

the only gamer crying about the activision deal is Jim Ryan

[merry palm]

I'm crying about it. mostly bc i want the drama over it to stop

[swift thistle]

Not only that Take 2 has literally no reason to, they print money frim gta 5

[severe oracle]

I don't think Microsoft would take CoD off of PlayStation, that's just not good business with how big the franchise is

[inner arrow]

Nah... Twitter, Neogaf and Resetera and so on is full of people that agree with him and that he is "protecting the gamers"

[swift thistle]

Don't get me wrong ain't that the ceo of sony?

[lyric jetty]

that is indeed the Sony guy

[dim gorge]

My games are running fine but I can’t join parties, it just keeps saying “connecting” then it boots me out, should I restart my router?

[swift thistle]

The same sony guy who said noone likes playing older games?

[dark sparrow]

A Sony guy said WHAT?

[eager maple]

i want microsoft to bring back stormbound

[inner arrow]

This was said about Activision too. But Take 2 and Activision are just a few games apart from basically the same. Activision doesn't have a basketball game to back them up so they had to sell cause relying on one series alone to keep them afloat was too much of a gamble

[lyric jetty]

yep the very same Jim Ryan

[lunar panther]

restart console first, then try restarting router

[swift thistle]

Iirc Jim Ryan said noone wanted to play older games, then backpedaled when people called him out on it

[severe oracle]

To be fair, he's right. People like playing older games until they play them. At least that's what the experience has been like with people around me and even myself with some games. Just not the same vibe. Super Mario Sunshine will always be timeless tho

[dark sparrow]

Like the EA twitter thing?

[lyric jetty]

when he says older games he means PS4 games

[eager maple]

yes hellraise it's just dlc

[lyric jetty]

https://www.vg247.com/why-would-anybody-play-this-says-sonys-jim-ryan-about-backwards-compatibility

[inner arrow]

Or that indies aren't important anymore and that VR is the future

[dark sparrow]

I am losing braincells.

[swift thistle]

ah i thought he meant like ps1 ps2 and ps3 games

[lyric jetty]

VR is the future but PS VR 2 doesn't support PS VR 1

[lyric jetty]

he meant all because he's a bit strange

[eager maple]

yes , gold , game pass and currency

[inner arrow]

After being asked if they do crossgens : "We believe in generations" and then releases their games on multiple ones

[severe oracle]

VR is the future tbh

[swift thistle]

speaking of which wheres my MGS 4 port Jim!/s

[dark sparrow]

I still am angry about some companies making you pay more for the next gen version of the game.

[inner arrow]

Jim Ryan is his own rashomon lol

[severe oracle]

Look at this upcoming generation of VR. It's pretty neat!

[lyric jetty]

it's pretty neat when done right

aka not the way sony are doing it

[dark sparrow]

Tbh, old valve was cool.

[eager maple]

i see microsoft adding vr compatibility before anything else ... maybe link steam just for that too . Like quest

[inner arrow]

Shawn Layden didn't do quite well tho. His idea was there but under his "command" there was a shift to "hollywood blockbuster" games. Which feels now is the reason why Sony doesn't do multiple smaller ones and has completely laid off Sony Japan.

[dark sparrow]

Oh how the tables have turned

[swift thistle]

i mean hes not right though, those older games mean a lot to a lot of people, and they also give a glimpse back into how game devs thought back then and what was the standard for quality, also most of those games were timeless, Like DMC, Resident Evil (not the first one) and like you said super mario sunshine

[smoky crater]

[smoky crater]

I dont

Anyone playing xbox one s gta 5? Is it run good

[inner arrow]

"Everything has to be a blockbuster" type of mentality will only lead to having no originality in gaming. Everything is market tested to oblivion so that every Sony game will be made with "Everyone needs to like this" type of mentality. It's the "sure hit blockbuster" stuff that is plaguing the industry. Then games like Horizon will come out of it.

[autumn viper]

It runs decent but it’s last gen now…

[dark sparrow]

GTA 5 runs at 30 fps, usually dipping well below that.

[swift thistle]

you mean the subpar to alright games that were overshadowed by bigger and better games twice? that horizon?

[dark sparrow]

Not everything has to be the blockbuster of the year

[lyric jetty]

@mellow roost look how quickly this coward quit the game to avoid the execution

[swift thistle]

You're right
however
BoTW, Elden Ring, and Kirby collectively stomping on the Horizon games were entertaining

[inner arrow]

Yes that one. Cause there were games that were art that just did it better. That weren't market tested to oblivion. While I agree with the notion that not everything needs to be the blockbuster of the year... it's certain that big titles want to make big money by being as broadly acceptable as possible by market testing their products.

[dark sparrow]

Kirby literally eats gods for them ruining his cake.

[severe oracle]

They weren't bad by any means, just got outshadowed by games that are created a new standard in their genre setting that for the rest of the generation

[swift thistle]

mhm

[tired hare]

I know, and I don’t understand how people just accept that. Games should always be 60 no matter what generation console it’s on.

[eager maple]

ehhhh

[severe oracle]

Idk why you don't like Sony but we gotta look within too, what exclusives do we have at Xbox atm? Halo which is failing and has been our strongest console seller for 20 years 😛 I don't think we can talk about Sony's exclusives in such case until we have something to combat on our own

[halcyon stratus]

That’s not really how economics works

[swift thistle]

saying i don't like sony
favorite games originated from sony
try again

[inner arrow]

https://www.techspot.com/news/93725-microsoft-tops-metacritic-game-publisher-rankings-2021.html

[severe oracle]

Can't say much about it because to me it's a racing game, and I don't like racing games personally 😂 I'm js, we have a lot of exclusives ourself to worry about. Sony has tons of great ones

[dark sparrow]

Halo, Forza, Gears, Sea of Thieves, etc.

[tired hare]

Excuse me? If it was really because of economics then why is there still publishers that don’t do this $70 bs

[swift thistle]

because they are children fighting over the plastic boxes.

[merry palm]

so like.. games have been the same cost for decades

lol

all the rest of prices of things have gone up...

surely this seems weird right?

[severe oracle]

Halo is dying and criticized very negatively by even the best of Halo fans. Forza is good sure. Gears honestly isn't very great. Sea of Thieves is okay. I like it on paper, but I prefer Pirates of the Caribbean Online better 😂

[severe oracle]

Weird, yes. But it's understandable

[swift thistle]

imagine buying full priced games on launch
couldn't be me (somtimes)

[merry palm]

not understandable tho?

they take more people and resources to make than ever before

[halcyon stratus]

“Excuse me?” Lol, don’t start with the fake dismissive stuff.

Games have not followed the cost of inflation. Game development costs are not properly reflected in an “all games should be $60” naive approach.

[tired hare]

Again if it’s inflation, then why hasn’t Nintendo, Microsoft, Sega etc… increase the price of their AAA games?

[dark sparrow]

I liked the first three gears game because of the story

[merry palm]

bc they have a buffer in games like pokemon.

fans will buy it no matter how awful they are

[halcyon stratus]

Because they make money in different ways.

[inner arrow]

Hivebusters is where it's at now. The 4 and 5 mainstory might be just be okay to good... Hivebuster is 9/10

[swift thistle]

Nintendo set a standard
Sony has increased the price for games like the Demons Souls remake for the ps5
and any thing microsoft puts out goes on gamepass

[tired hare]

Nintendo makes money in different ways?

[lyric jetty]

subscriptions

[inner arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/gif-gif-19494737

[merry palm]

so so so much licensing stuff as well

[lyric jetty]

you know the whole Nintendo online business

and the more expensive booster pack thingy

[halcyon stratus]

I don’t understand what your “what” means because it is plainly obvious the thousands of ways Nintendo makes money lmao

[dark sparrow]

The first three games were really cool because of the story, i just liked how dark it was.

[merry palm]

so fast lol

[inner arrow]

Not like Splatoon 3 just cracked multiple records in their own homecountry in just a few days

[lyric jetty]

and nintendo land

and their movies division

[severe oracle]

Splatoon 3 is out? 😂 where have I been

[halcyon stratus]

You’re being fake-naive now. That’s not an interesting way to have a discussion.

[tired hare]

They make money by video games, what else do they make money from?

[merry palm]

books, and tv shows and movies etc etc

😂

[mellow roost]

Nintendo has been a company since the 1800s.

[inner arrow]

They made cards before video games

[merry palm]

nintendo makes a crap ton of money not from video games

[tired hare]

But it’s not like Microsoft which makes money from 1 billion other ways. The majority of the money Nintendo makes is because video games

[lyric jetty]

Pokemon cards are a great example

[swift thistle]

literally
Microsoft literally prints money from Windows, Ai, and various other tech (even more stuff from what xbox does)
Sony has their movie making business and also in other electronics
Idk what nintendo does but they make money

[merry palm]

yeah but microsoft doesnt funnel all its money into xbox. its not even remotely the same kind of company

[sage ice]

Unlike other console manufacturers, Nintendo sells the Switch at a profit. In fact, it gets most of its revenue from hardware sales, with $33.16 billion (or 55%) of that $60 billion coming from consoles. The rest is made of video games sales, which totaled 766.41 million Switch games

[inner arrow]

This is original Nintendo cards. The business they started with :

[merry palm]

those are really pretty :o

[tired crescent]

These were the best tacos and chips and dip I’ve ever eaten

[severe oracle]

@tired crescent What meat

[tired crescent]

Beef, also don’t ping pls

Gonna play more halo infinite when I get home

[halcyon stratus]

Pokémon is weird though. I’m not sure if their card profits are reported through Nintendo. There is actually a Pokémon Company

[merry palm]

thats true

[inner arrow]

They still earn some profit since they have a huge stake in Pokemon Company

[merry palm]

mmm.. yes and no

depends how they are structured

[swift thistle]

But anyways literally the top 3 console giants don't need to increase the price because they can just do other things to make money

[lyric jetty]

sounds like its reported through The Pokemon Company

[inner arrow]

And I wouldn't be surprised if they actually print the cards cause they were a card company before the gaming industry after all

[severe orchid]

hey guys,where can i ask xbox related questions?

[eager maple]

C4V92-JVM2K-62XXW-GTJXD-C3XHZ

[swift thistle]

#233805809346150400 my friend

[tired hare]

You can say the same for other companies, but still the majority of their sales is still from video games but I’m not gonna change my mind so let’s not have the argument

[severe orchid]

thanks!

[novel zodiac]

Why the code?

[eager maple]

tossing out codes randomly throughout the week

[halcyon stratus]

You’re absolutely right. Everything should always cost exactly $60. Have a nice day!

[autumn viper]

Probably because they’re giving it away, though #xbox-game-pass or #gaming-deals would be a better spot for them.

[novel zodiac]

I already have Gamepass so meh I don't need the code

[ashen yarrow]

But they also don't only have their own games. They have the eShop, where they get a cut from other games, and they have the switch

[inner arrow]

https://medium.com/@atultalaviya9/pokémon-became-the-highest-grossing-media-franchise-of-all-time-with-95-billion-beating-out-13ab4ec54d72

Pokemon for example makes about 3 times more money via merchandise than their video games. Same probably goes for Zelda and Mario.

But not everyone does 🤷 and please don’t ping

disconnect , reconnect then check #233805809346150400 for future problems

[median halo]

Thanks

[inner arrow]

They did not lol

[swift thistle]

Honestly try turning it on and off again

[merry palm]

Nintendo didnt 'almost go under' lol

[inner arrow]

Which doomsayer said that? Remember that Nintendo had the Virtual Boy, N64, Gamecube and the WiiU which were all either absolute big flops or just didn't sell nearly half as much as the competition and they still exist. While Sega had 2 bad consoles and stopped doing consoles.

[lyric jetty]

especially not after coming off the back of the massively successful Wii generation

[tired hare]

But they lost tens of millions of dollars, to a point that the CEO decided to cut his salary so he doesn’t lay people off.

[lyric jetty]

that's Japanese culture

[merry palm]

^

[swift thistle]

literally this

[inner arrow]

Rip Iwata ngl

[merry palm]

Nintendo always has plenty of money to make up for losses. Thats why they can put a lot into trying weird new things all the time

[swift thistle]

you have to take into account that the Japanese have a much different culture then Western culture in that regard

[merry palm]

plenty of stuff hasnt worked out lol

[inner arrow]

Or delaying a game for a whole generation lol

[unique wasp]

Nintendo is the greatest

[tired hare]

I just don’t know how you guys can defend spending more on video games but let’s just stop

[merry palm]

nah

[inner arrow]

I am primarily using gamepass to avoid that.

[swift thistle]

I mean you could just wait for a sale, problem solved

[mellow roost]

If games could cost $120 and have zero MTX or monetized content, I'd vote for it today.

[merry palm]

I think i am really ok with spending more for games bc it costs more to make them and devs should get to have lives

[swift thistle]

tbf it still would

[long maple]

to think I was already paying £65 for games back in the 90's

[merry palm]

yep

[inner arrow]

This is a legit dialogue from the first monkey island game

[lyric jetty]

shhhhh paul you can't bring up the fact that video games have always been expensive

[long maple]

Street Fighter 2 on SNES was worth every penny

[unique wasp]

My parents bought super troll Island for like 65 euros

[swift thistle]

steam coming down from the heavens to give you 95% discounts on AAA games

[ashen yarrow]

And I greatly appreciate it. They are making large strides in the portable gaming department, from the Gameboy to the line of DS consoles to the switch. Valve too

[inner arrow]

Better yet wait for it to be free on the epic game store

[smoky crater]

On xbox one s?

[merry palm]

we all need to know what magic sorcery they use to make their pro controllers last for so long

[swift thistle]

Maybe, they do drop a big game for free every once in a while like Ark or Civ 5

[ashen yarrow]

I understand the point but not everyone was that type of money. I think the current situation is good, except for p2w crap

[merry palm]

i already got ark off of epic free

lol

[ashen yarrow]

I for sure don't have the money to spend $120 on a game

[swift thistle]

yeah i remember that was one of the first games they made free

[lyric jetty]

ark has been free on Epic like 3 times now

[long maple]

right I need a break from Steel Rising, reached the point of no return so gonna finish the side-quests. but I need a drink been sat in my chair most the day lol

[merry palm]

i tend to wait for a year or more to buy an expensive game.

[lyric jetty]

and free on steam at one point

[tired hare]

Those were cartridges, so many different parts you need to put into it. It’s definitely not the same as buying a game digitally that’s the same price

[merry palm]

i think i even have civ free off there too lol

[lyric jetty]

Digital games you get 2 licenses pretty much

[ashen yarrow]

I got ark on steam for free

[swift thistle]

yeah after Ark it was civ then GTA 5

[long maple]

I was typing that lol

Ark moment

[merry palm]

i needed to go look lol

[tired hare]

Hello there

[merry palm]

runbow and the drone racing league, next week

[tired hare]

Elden ring was 60, so the game being at 60 doesn’t mean it’s not quality.

[ashen yarrow]

Can't wait until ark 2, ark 1 is a good game and all but it's so clunky. I hold hope that ark 2 fixes the most blaring issues with ark 1

[swift thistle]

comparing Elden Ring to Saints Row Reboot
you really know how to kick the hornets nest huh

[ashen yarrow]

Price doesn't change quality imo

[late viper]

have they removed the free portal 2 "peer review" DLC from the microsoft store?

[merry palm]

why dont you go look?

i have no idea

[swift thistle]

oh totally
im just saying Saints Row Reboot was like horrible and it was priced as a AAA

[merry palm]

just bc you didnt like it doesnt mean it didnt cost a lot to make

[ashen yarrow]

Yeah, I don't think voided picked up on that

[tired hare]

I thought he was trying to say that games that are 60 are in low in quality like saints row when that’s not the case

[median escarp]

Somehow i got Hitman 3 on my owned games list

[merry palm]

poor qib lol

i forgot that was filtered

[unique wasp]

What did i even say wrong?

[merry palm]

the name of the movie

[unique wasp]

It’s a good movie, I don’t think it deserves to be filtered

[mellow roost]

Yeah literally so many people would come in here and spam, "IT'S MORBIN' TIME!" that we had to filter it.

as its early access more platforms might be announced in the future, but the dev said it was an easy decision to choose Game Pass

Cat video chats.
I set up an iPad next to their water station so I could FaceTime them. They didn’t really seem interested in it unlike some cats and dogs I’ve seen online

[merry palm]

no clue

LOL

[short pilot]

um what

[merry palm]

cats do what they want

[short pilot]

I was thinking of the three digits on the back of a card LMAO

[halcyon stratus]

That is a ccv

[lunar panther]

thats ctv smh my head

[short pilot]

CVC is also the three digits

[grave osprey]

shaking my head my head

[short pilot]

The Card Verification Code, or CVC*, is an extra code printed on your debit or credit card.

[halcyon stratus]

Huh? Cvv stands for card verification value not code

[short pilot]

They are both the three digits, just different names

[halcyon stratus]

That’s dumb

[short pilot]

What Are CVC and CVV Codes and What Is the Difference? The Card Verification Value (CVV) is a three-digit security code on the back of Visa payment cards. The Card Validation Code (CVC) is a three-digit security code on the back of Mastercard cards.

[short pilot]

I have a mastercard...

[halcyon stratus]

The whole point of industries standards is that the industry is supposed to follow the standard

Anyway. He clearly wasn’t talking about credit card numbers.
My original explanation is the only thing that makes sense.

[merry palm]

I tried googling with game and the abbreviation and it was unhelpful

[short pilot]

My brain hurts

[lunar panther]

I was waiting for you to comment 😄

[brave junco]

3am VC's. Lol.

[brave junco]

My time is the only time.

No such thing as time zones.

[merry palm]

i didnt take you for a flat earther , but ig it makes sense

[brave junco]

It is a conspiracy by the interdimensional aliens!

[merry palm]

i'll add that to your notes

[brave junco]

Do explain how it makes sense.

[merry palm]

I'm good

[brave junco]

🤔

[bold rune]

ok but why does this emoji exist

[brave junco]

So you see.... The earth is but a plate being carried by a chef.

Night and day is but the chef carrying the plate through lights.

Alright, I haven't played CoD outside of Warzone since Advanced Warfare but this MW2 beta is stupid fun 😆

[vast quest]

Hey y’all— I was wondering if anyone needed a game pass code for first time users? Discord gifted one to me and I don’t have Xbox

[brave junco]

Feels very gritty.

[bold rune]

#xbox-game-pass

[queen stump]

Right?! Like, I've never had this much fun losing!

[vast quest]

Thanks!

[brave junco]

Like, don't get me wrong, it's not realistic, but the sound and gun design is amazing.

[bold rune]

dead chat

[merry palm]

wow.

maybe find a topic instead

[halcyon stratus]

Imagine being able to do a CVC with this little cutie whenever you wanted

[merry palm]

awww

minus the claws

[brave junco]

That is an adorable kitten.

So how was your day, chat?

[merry palm]

its been ok

lots of reading, gaming etc

hbu?

[brave junco]

Pretty good! Ran 3km. Made some turkey salad which came out great. Talked to friends on vc. Pretty chill day overall.

[dark sparrow]

Finished performing at my second competition, I'm pooped.

[oak citrus]

yo

what is up xbox gang

[sly shard]

anyone know why my xbox status doesnt show up when i play a game? i linked and unlinked multiple times and still nothing

[dark sparrow]

Probably a discord thing, sometimes it doesn't show that you're playing.

[sly shard]

idk if its because i upgraded to a series x or its a settings problem

[dark sparrow]

Is your Xbox account set to offline?

[sly shard]

no

[halcyon stratus]

Why are you DMing me repeatedly? I have no idea about "pre ordering" and I'm not your personal support anyway.

if you want support go to #233805809346150400 like a normal person.

Don't "bro" me, I have literally never interacted with you in my life... why you think pinging me on my cell phone is the right way to get help?

[weary solar]

For support, please initially refer to #795454807250173972 and see if you can resolve your issue on your own. If you are unable to resolve your issue still after that, refer to #233805809346150400. Do note that this is community sourced support and there is no official support here on discord. As such, people will assist if/when they are able to but if you have issues regarding your account and/or billing, please reach out to official support for assistance.

[halcyon stratus]

Yes, you got me attention.
My 'attention' and 'my help' are two different things 🙂

[merry palm]

why not?

[grave osprey]

ignorance is bliss

[merry palm]

well, thats a problem for sure but.. its volunteers there so

if you want something more reliable contact official support

[molten briar]

support.xbox.com, or google. easily answers your question

[grave osprey]

You can contact xbox support through their website. E-mail/chat/phone. They are real people and it’s their job to help you.

[halcyon stratus]

I just picked names of 3 people who are active in chat and did a support channel filtered search. On average we've each responded to support questions over 3600 times, lmao

[grave osprey]

Game pass ultimate expiring in 3 days. Using my weekend to grindd forza horizon 5 and guardians of the galaxy😃

Ray tracing is amazing

[frail helm]

Yeah. I've been pleasantly surprised by my Series X.

[grave osprey]

I’ve deleted disney dreamlight valley after the tutorial. Maybe i judged too quickly. Because i hear it’s like animal crossing and i love animal crossing.

[halcyon stratus]

it is a great game. what didn't you like about it?

[grave osprey]

The game was so dark and the only thing i could touch was my house. In the trailer it looks so vibrant and with fun activities.

[wild rampart]

Is there any way to make the update go faster in the Microsoft Flight Simulator app on PC when updating the files for the game? I have 400mb download but it's only downloading at like 50mb. I tested my speed and it is in fact 400 so not sure why it's so slow within the app? This should only take like an hour for 120gb but it's looking like it'll take 15 hours or so.

[grave osprey]

I thought they’d be there at the start i guess but i’ll have to play longer…

[halcyon stratus]

i mean there aren't a lot of 'activities' because it is animal crossing - grow crops, cook food, fish, make furniture

but what do you mean 'dark'? look 'spooky and sad'? because fixing that is the major plot point at the beginning of the game
Or do you mean 'actually physically dark' because that's a monitor problem lol

[grave osprey]

When i test my speed it’s also higher than when i’m actually downloading something. Maybe that’s a universal experience

[merry palm]

didyou get all the tools and things. because you should have been able to touch more than your house..

[grave osprey]

Yeah i meant spooky and sad. Oh okay now that i know that fixing that is a major plot i’ll give it another go.

sorry keep forgetting to turn off ping

[halcyon stratus]

saving the valley is literally what merlin tells you you need to do during the tutorial...

[grave osprey]

Oh he talks so much😭

[grave osprey]

No i didn’t it was really early on i judged too soon

[near tiger]

Xbox

[open flume]

cant say im disappointed with my first MW multiplayer match in a decade+

kylie im obsessed with the gun handling/shooting. its so... satisfying

movement feels... heavy?

just initial thoughts

[mellow roost]

Yeah it feels great to play.

Just feels good.

[foggy skiff]

hi

[mellow roost]

The shooting feels good, the movement feels solid, everything just feels solid.

[cinder veldt]

I have not gotten to trying it yet

[open flume]

i gotta get used to my dude's runnin and such. but wow. i did not have any expectations how the play would feel but it is... it is good

[foggy skiff]

penguin, did you see Saraya's debut?

[open flume]

they do a great job at making you feel happy

i did

[mellow roost]

2 more minutes and I'll have been nicotine-free for 4 days.

This beta came at the right time. 💀

[foggy skiff]

feels weird not calling her Paige anymore

[lyric jetty]

wait until the SBMM kicks in and the happy feeling fades

[shut river]

who is major nelson?

[tired hare]

call of duty feels fun again big W for IW

[open flume]

i have 0 to compare it to

[shut river]

who is that tho

[open flume]

I played a TON of warzone 1.0 2 years ago but thats it

i didnt play any multiplayer

[mellow roost]

I still don't like the perk system, it's...I mean I just genuinely don't really know why it has to be this way, but other than that, everything is nice.

[cinder veldt]

Google

[lyric jetty]

it's this way so that ghost isn't super powerful

[open flume]

i immediately jumped in so i gotta look at all the things now

[mellow roost]

True, true... It's just... Tank.

This is literally the most effective build I'm aware of.

[lyric jetty]

I just use a custom build

[mellow roost]

Other people might have different preferences, but this gives the most consistent experience overall.

[lyric jetty]

double time, scavenger, quick fix, ghost

[brave wasp]

Battle Rifles are insane, especially the Lachmann-762

[mellow roost]

The PSG-1 or whatever it is in the marksman category is just absurd.

[brave wasp]

The Side Impact form for the X13 Auto is

I'm about to hit lvl 20, then I'll have the sniper 😌

[mellow roost]

I hit level 30 the other day, the SCAR is really nice.

Unfortunately you can't level it up, but the blueprint you get for it is more than capable.

[near tiger]

Ok

[mellow roost]

Also, I'm hoping it's not just for the beta, but whatever they've done for the SBMM is perfect.

I'm assuming it's active for the beta, but just keep it the way it is, IW.

It feels like old CoD again.

[lyric jetty]

it's active but they're more than likely gonna tune it up

they did the same thing with MW19

[mellow roost]

😩😩😩

No pls.

I will legit cancel my pre-order if they crank it back up. I can't do another game of that.

[dark sparrow]

CoD 4 Desert Eagle

[foggy skiff]

what if you don't find out in time

[dark sparrow]

When will they just let you stay in the lobby you just played with

[mellow roost]

I'll probably cancel after the beta ends anyway because I don't even know if I'll have the money to get it on launch, if I'm honest.

I just really hope they don't ruin this one. Honest to god CoD hasn't felt like this in over a decade. They got a good thing going here. Please don't blow it with absurd SBMM, IW.

[foggy skiff]

pings

[mellow roost]

Oh, sorry, didn't realize I had pinged you.

[dark sparrow]

Only throw in SBMM after you left the lobby, IW, pls.

[midnight frigate]

sup

[lyric jetty]

they have to disband lobbies eventually or you'd have people joining low level easy lobbies and staying there

[dark sparrow]

I mean, it worked in ye olden days.

[mellow roost]

Yeah, the lobbies always eventually filtered themselves out. Sure, some people would stick around for a couple hours, but most you'd only see for a game or two.

[lyric jetty]

because ye olden days had next to no SBMM

[brave wasp]

I have my sniper 😌

[half hazel]

The gunplay in mw2 is great

Fennec my fav smg rn

[short pilot]

We talking about COD?

[mellow roost]

Yus.

[half hazel]

I love that you can see where your throwing items will land now

[mellow roost]

*with the Strong Arm perk.

But yes, it's a neat perk.

[lyric jetty]

i think that's been a thing for the last couple games

[short pilot]

Kylie you know the cat icon next to your name

[merry palm]

[mellow roost]

Yes?

[short pilot]

I used to have that on my xbox real name, because I like the emoji but now its changed, was it removed off xbox?

[lyric jetty]

I think it was removed, don't think it's available on windows now either

[half hazel]

Anyways fennec best smg rn

[lyric jetty]

nah the MP5 still outperforms the fennec

[chrome pendant]

I'm more of an Alternator type of gal, but that's a different game altogether

[half hazel]

Fennec sounds nicer thi

An alternator is basically a vector

[chrome pendant]

I also like the Vector .45 ACP, great gun

[half hazel]

Ngl it's weird seeing the guns with different names

[lyric jetty]

copyright reasons, gotta save those dollars

[half hazel]

Yeah lol
Still weird but eh

[steady pilot]

Is there an official halo infinite online coop release date?

[lyric jetty]

nope

[mellow roost]

Wasn't it scrapped altogether?

[tired hare]

Hi

[night rapids]

online co op is still coming, just not split screen

[half hazel]

I thought couch co op was canceled

[mellow roost]

Ohhh, I see.

[steady pilot]

Yah just wondering if there was a release date but looks like no date

Yah just couch coop scrapped. Online I heard is still coming. I guess we just don’t know when

[half hazel]

Ngl mw2 is way better than vanguard

Finally no more clunky weapon sounds that sounds like you're shaking a metal lunchbox

[tired hare]

Downloading the open beta atm for mw2 fingers crossed it’s as good as MW2019

[tired hare]

Not as fast paced, but it's still pretty good

Hmm dang I liked how crazy the pacing was in MW2019

[lunar panther]

YUM!

[tired hare]

Is that ur food?

[merry palm]

deek.

no

[lunar panther]

no I don't have any chocolate milk

[tired hare]

Yes, I would definitely eat those potatoes

[merry palm]

[rotund raptor]

Why do the potatoes look like they have cancer?

[half hazel]

Almost as bad as chocolate hummus

[rotund raptor]

L

[eager maple]

Hello my party people , what y’all playing tonight?
