general-chat

[dark sparrow]

Was supposed to have a family meetup about 49 minutes away, but the weather last week didn't allow that

[tired hare]

finally im going to a new region assasins creed oddysey

[gray latch]

it's 29F here rn. that's pretty cold for us but most people have clothes for that and it doesn't happen often

[idle spear]

Ow nice, I just saw that as well

[gray latch]

here being Redmond WA

[dark sparrow]

It's currently 1 F here

[limpid flicker]

TBH it's easier being out of the house than at home. Out of the house when I keep moving, I don't feel cold.

[gray latch]

that's what it'll be like when I get to MSP lol

[dark sparrow]

Yeah, be over prepared, we get really cold

[limpid flicker]

How can you even stand to get outta bed? 😛

[kindred rivet]

For the northeast somewhere in the 30s is typical. 20s is when you really start to feel it.

[dark sparrow]

This morning was way colder

[gray latch]

yeah I got a base layer of merlino wool, a fur hat, a baked potato jacket, good gloves, and boots rated for -14F

[kindred rivet]

Nights regardless are very cold

[gloomy spindle]

Im bored does anyone want me to make a song

[dark sparrow]

It may get colder than -14, so be prepared for that

[desert sonnet]

A baked potato jacket ? Ooo

[gray latch]

I intend to be outside very little :)

[limpid flicker]

I don't have the constitution for that... taking a shower in those temps, and then the cold hits you when you turn off the water, OMG I just can't. I'm a wimp.

[dark sparrow]

Good

[tired hare]

where u see this

[kindred rivet]

Driving in the snow/on black ice is another whole thing

[tired hare]

Look at the imagine again

Gotta love this Instagram page of "Things I didn't know until I was in my 30s" 😅 Sometimes it's purely obvious stuff for some, sometimes your mind is blown that you had never realized before some things are designed with a purpose: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmZquyvo-TT/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

[dark sparrow]

Its just kinda life here tbh
Extreme heat and extreme cold

We have everything for both times

[kindred rivet]

Really warm here is like 80F+ lol

[dark sparrow]

Which is why we have an ac and a furnace

We get up into the 100's in summer, below -10 decently often in winter

Is it weird to have both?

[desert sonnet]

I dont think it's weird. Sounds pretty normal

[kindred rivet]

If thats how it typically is there no.

[desert sonnet]

I need to look at jackets soon. I was hoping layering up would be enough but that weather report has me second guessing myself

[dark sparrow]

https://imgur.com/a/KDI6ApP
I may require assistance

[gray latch]

aww

[dark sparrow]

She took me hand, i guess I'll become a pirate now

[night rapids]

Nope. Where I am can get up to +40C in the summer, like 110F and it's-32C here right now

[tired hare]

bruh assasins creed is way too loong

[night rapids]

Not if you enjoy it, it isn't.

[tired hare]

i enjoy it

[tired hare]

but i mean the oddysey

[night rapids]

I loved every minute I spent with Odyssey

[tired hare]

i literally played 10h and got to 2 regions from 10000

[tired hare]

yeah its good

How much have you spent on Xbox all together

[tired hare]

what

[tired hare]

How much have you spent on games and everything for Xbox

[night rapids]

I could never calculate that over 20 years

[tired hare]

i play on pc saddly

[light orbit]

Do games install quicker if you turn off your console ?

[tired hare]

I’ve spent £1153

@tired hare I hope this helps you more

i have xbox 360 btw @tired hare

[tired hare]

Last time I bought something on Xbox was 2 years ago

[tired hare]

i cant see

[tired hare]

XD

[tired hare]

u have steam?

[versed swan]

download speed has nothing to do with whether or not the console is off or on

[tired hare]

Yes

[cerulean basin]

Actually, if you have a game running in the background, the download speeds on Xbox consoles is much slower

[tired hare]

wanna look at my games?

[tired hare]

Sure

[light orbit]

Oh, well um do the games and games that need updates still install when the console is turned off ?

[tired hare]

click in my profile

Wanma look at mine

ye

[versed swan]

You'll need to start the install, but yes they can install updates while turned off

[swift thistle]

what is this

[light orbit]

Wonderful. I have started the install, just double checking it would still install

[tired hare]

They were having trouble finding the website, so I tried to make it more zoomer friendly

[astral saffron]

In High on Life, can anyone remember how to get the Ludlox box ||guarded by the alien in dreg town||?

[cinder veldt]

same

[tired hare]

[cinder veldt]

a few

[tired hare]

https://www.maxgaming.dk/dk/gamingkeyboard/gmmk-2-65-pre-built-tastatur-fox-linear-rosa @cinder veldt

[cinder veldt]

I love it tbh, but there is 2 things I don't like about it

[tired hare]

There's only 1 thing I don't like

[cinder veldt]

money I don't have and 65%

[astral saffron]

Never mind, I found a guide 🙂

[tired hare]

Oh

xd

guys wanna play smt?

I'm looking to get a smaller one because I keep bumping my mouse into it

[astral saffron]

I used a 65% keyboard for a few months and it made me almost go insane lol

[tired hare]

I have TKL right now

[cinder veldt]

I keep bump into mine sometimes but a 65% one would make my user experience worse

[astral saffron]

I was doing development on my 65%. Was awful for that lol but I imagine good for gaming

[tired hare]

But it's hot swap so I can replace all the switches with some loud clicky ones

[cinder veldt]

I like my numpad and function keys

[astral saffron]

The arrow keys are what annoyed me the most lol, or lack of I should say

[tired hare]

I want Box Jades switches

[cinder veldt]

Play gta v and you need everything

[tired hare]

You just need WASDEF Shift and Space

And then a controller for vehicles

[cinder veldt]

For GTA V? No no unless you just want to drive and nothing else

[tired hare]

https://www.maxgaming.dk/dk/switchar/bis-box-custom-switch-sample-box

[cinder veldt]

Excluding controller

[normal pecan]

Aint no way i just got a com ban for saying "wsg"

[weary solar]

Yup even page up

[tired hare]

For chat?

[cinder veldt]

Quick restart

[cinder veldt]

Wow it’s actually named bis bag

[tired hare]

😄

[halcyon dirge]

Hey guys, how’s FF7R?

[cerulean basin]

It's a pretty fun game, would love to see it come to Xbox eventually

I plan on getting the prequel early next year. Currently playing a few other games

[halcyon dirge]

I liked the original

[limpid flicker]

Many people did, it was a millions-seller. 🙂

[halcyon dirge]

I hope we get a bad fur day remake eventually

[cerulean basin]

One remake of that game wasn't enough? 😛

[halcyon dirge]

Preferably by the guys who made High on Life

[halcyon dirge]

rare replay?

[cerulean basin]

Live and Reloaded

[halcyon dirge]

Wasn’t that just a 1 to 1 port?

[astral saffron]

😠

[cerulean basin]

Definitely not a 1-to-1 port

[astral saffron]

Can you even call that a keyboard

[tired hare]

I’ve been looking for something like that, but I can’t find any with clicky switches

[kindred rivet]

What we really need is another skyrim edition

[limpid flicker]

How can you say something so brave?

[halcyon dirge]

Ig you haven’t played rare replay

[cerulean basin]

I have played Rare Replay, and I've played the original N64 one

[astral saffron]

Give it a few years and there will be a mobile phone edition

[kindred rivet]

Just wait till you hear my thoughts on last of us

[halcyon dirge]

Nah I’m gonna need bad fur day in 4k 60fps lol

[astral saffron]

Which is weird because the other day I was wanting it in 480p 12fps

[cerulean basin]

It got One X enhancements, it runs at 4K

[limpid flicker]

I never played Conker myself. Or a lot of the other classic 3D platformers. Not that I dislike them, but can only handle so many.

[severe lodge]

Look at you and all your fancy fps, back in my day we played turned based games through a BBS

[tired hare]

What’s a BBS?

[limpid flicker]

Really asking or...?

[trail harness]

bulletin board system - precursor to forums

[severe lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/get-off-my-lawn-old-lady-sprinkler-grumpy-angry-gif-19033636

[astral saffron]

Legit i don't know either lol

[severe lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/schmidt-newgirl-youths-gif-9713766

[trail harness]

a few still exist believe it or not

[limpid flicker]

BBS were like the internet before the internet. You called a local number in the BBS's network and got connected, and you could use email and download files. You could also play games that way.

[tired hare]

I know I joke around all the time, but I genuinely don’t know

[cerulean basin]

Pfft... I used to play golf games that ran at seconds per frame

[severe lodge]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system

[limpid flicker]

Some BBS were purely local, but others were widespread with local 'points of presence' in multiple cities / countries even.

[desert sonnet]

I used to play tetris on the bathroom floor tiles

[cerulean basin]

Uh, Conker is definitely not something I would qualify as a "classic 3D platformer" 😛

[limber carbon]

I initially thought the reference of BBS was the company that manufactured rims

[tired hare]

Wow it’s like old IRC

[trail harness]

I connected to a Commodore 64 hosted BBS once

[desert sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/bbs-market-gif-25569778

[limpid flicker]

My mistake, then? I thought it was comparable to a Banjo-Kazooie or a DK64...

[desert sonnet]

I don't really get that gif.. but I guess someone's happy they found it

[tired hare]

Classic BBS moment

[astral saffron]

Yeah, certified classic BBS moment

[cinder veldt]

Watching diary of a wimpy kid is like a hard challenge, try not to get second hand embarrassment

[tired hare]

I won’t lie, this is definitely me when I find BBS

[fluid creek]

y'all keep saying BBS

i keep reading BSB

[astral saffron]

What's BSB

[limpid flicker]

The really important thing to note is that people had access to these long before the internet as we know it. Some of the BBS had limited internet features for stuff like email, but they were a different, and earlier thing.

[night rapids]

Backstreet Boys

[desert sonnet]

I read pspspsp

[halcyon dirge]

Talking of conker, anyone getting the great mighty poo gfuel flavour next year?

[cerulean basin]

Not at all. In fact the game has a pretty mixed set of genres altogether. Some sections are straight up shooters, some are zombie survival, one is literally The Matrix

[tired hare]

[limpid flicker]

The TV system with the square satellite dishes?

[astral saffron]

my cats came over when they read this message

[fluid creek]

https://tenor.com/view/backstreet-boys-backstreet-bsb-hi-gif-23362220

[night rapids]

We know that isn't a thing

[desert sonnet]

It's their favorite handheld system

[limpid flicker]

Well, I learned a thing today. 🙂

[astral saffron]

Oh, they are the guys who are back

[night rapids]

I knew Sam...lol

[limpid flicker]

IDK why I thought Sam would mean British Satellite Broadcasting. Nobody remembers that.

[fluid creek]

[astral saffron]

Nobody remembers Backstreet boys either 😄

[cerulean basin]

This is from the N64 original 😛

[desert sonnet]

Was Justin Timberlake part of them or was that N'Sync?

[astral saffron]

That was N'Sync. I only know that because of the cover they did of Trashin' the camp for Tarzan

[tired hare]

Sam LOVES British Satellite Broadcasting

[night rapids]

I mean, BSB just put out a holiday album so I'd say people remember them

[limpid flicker]

These are the square satellite dishes I was referring to.

[desert sonnet]

I can't eat off that dish

[limpid flicker]

They were the latest thing when I was a teenager.

[limber carbon]

Backstreet back allright ... 🎵 yeaaah

[tired hare]

It’s more than likely that your definition of bad isn’t the same as ours

[cerulean basin]

Microsoft is even trying to settle deals for Call of Duty to be available on Nintendo and Sony consoles

[astral saffron]

I'm kidding lol, I know who they are I just didn't know that it was common to refer to them as BSB

[fluid creek]

[limpid flicker]

Same for me. First time I ever heard them called that. 😉

[desert sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/backstreet-boys-aj-mv-backstreets-back-gif-7990661

[astral saffron]

It's not like they're 1D or anything

[night rapids]

Probably depending on the Market. I only hear them referred to as BSB here. Even their tours

[fluid creek]

they're 1D before 1D was even alive

lol

[crimson dew]

the xbox series s graphic looking so good in fortnite at 4k 60fps

[limpid flicker]

Don't get me wrong, it's not as if I don't know the group or their songs. 😛

[astral saffron]

Same Sol

[desert sonnet]

Too late Sol. I got you wrong

[tired hare]

It’s definitely not 4K

[astral saffron]

lol I just meant in terms of how good they are.

[limpid flicker]

Especially the one with all the "Tell me why..." in it. 🙂

[cinder veldt]

We got a satelite today, but round

[crimson dew]

compared to the ps5, the graphics are slightly less sharp on series s but for the price of 233 usd what i want more ?

[crimson dew]

i mean upscaled but like 2k it does run

[limpid flicker]

Yeah if you're not trying for a weird gimmick, I think most of them are round. Or oval. BSB were trying to "be different" from the other satellite TV systems.

[tired hare]

I doubt it

[autumn marlin]

What will happen if I say the word “PlayStation” here

[crimson dew]

nothing

[limpid flicker]

People will talk about how they like God of War, Horizon, Spider-Man... it's all good, we like games.

[astral saffron]

You spontaneously combust into chicken nuggets

[night rapids]

We will probably talk about our favourite ps games

[astral saffron]

Oh I am thinking of KFConsole

[limpid flicker]

I mean, I'm literally on a PS right now.

[tired hare]

[cinder veldt]

Spiderman for me, not really played much else

[astral saffron]

Did the KFConsole ever release I can't remember

[tired hare]

I don’t think it was ever real

[astral saffron]

... I'll just have to keep heating my chicken on top of the xbox fan then

[limpid flicker]

It was real in our hearts, Bis. 😢

[native fern]

fax

[tired hare]

Just like my friends

[limpid flicker]

But also, given that it was just a custom PC case, it would be possible for pretty much anyone to make one if they wanted to.

[astral saffron]

With included chicken warmer?

[limpid flicker]

As I understood, that was just a drawer located near to where the heat from the components would gather. Seems easy enough to arrange, if not exactly best thermal design for longevity.

[astral saffron]

Longevity be damned. I'm trying to keep my chicken warm!

[limpid flicker]

Get yourself a poorly-fitted 4090 and that sucker can even cook chicken from raw.

[astral saffron]

Now you're talking. Might cook myself Christmas dinner with that bad boy

[tired hare]

https://landing.coolermaster.com/kfconsole/

[merry palm]

Ok but who is eating fried chicken and then touching their controllers in between bouts?

[tired hare]

Maybe it’s just like a concept car?

[cinder veldt]

I have waited long for this

[limpid flicker]

I will admit, Tes... that thought does disgust me. I won't even eat chips (American definition) while handling a controller.

[astral saffron]

That's what mother dearest is for with her napkins

[limpid flicker]

My controllers may be badly worn, scratched, scuffed and dinged, but they are not greasy.

[lusty crow]

Is it just me, or is the guy who voices Victor Vran also the guy who voices Geralt?

[limpid flicker]

I actually really dislike any oily feeling on my hands. When consuming certain types of food I just can't touch them with my fingers.

[merry palm]

This is why nuggets are the best

[astral saffron]

I just opt to eat my food like that bird that dips its beak in the water

[limpid flicker]

That is a long list of reasons, Tes.

[astral saffron]

Like I'm apple bobbing. That way no controller mess

[merry palm]

Nuggets you can use a fork or chopsticks

[limpid flicker]

Nuggies are proof that the world is a good place.

[merry palm]

Facts

[halcyon dirge]

Does anyone know if my red dead 1 progression on 360 carry over to Series X?

[night rapids]

It's the same game

[halcyon dirge]

Different consoles

[limpid flicker]

It will do if you put your save in the cloud, which was optional on 360, but on Series X is the default.

[bronze arrow]

🥸

[merry palm]

Cloud saves are proof that people aren't all evil

[halcyon dirge]

I think I put it in the cloud so I’m good, thank u

[merry palm]

Remember having to manually save everything in paranoia?!

[night rapids]

Still the same game. Not upgraded. I didn't realize cloud was optional on the 360. Thanks Sol

[astral saffron]

I still do if the option is available lol

[merry palm]

Same

[limpid flicker]

Without cloud saves I would play fewer video games. We have multiple consoles, and I choose which one to play based on if the most powerful one is currently in use.

[halcyon dirge]

I’m pretty sure you can move your saves to cloud from console storage

[merry palm]

Word perfect way back when traumatized me

[limpid flicker]

You can.

[limpid flicker]

I was always a Word Star person, still remember the key bindings. However, I get you.

[kindred rivet]

The second to last area in DK64 has a condition where if you lose that level you start the whole game over. Theres times i had to pause and take a brief walk to collect myself lol

[halcyon dirge]

I completed GTA IV a while back on 360

[cinder veldt]

There also was the fact cloud needed gold before

[halcyon dirge]

It’ll be nice to play in 4K

[limpid flicker]

quietly defenestrates the game.

[halcyon dirge]

Red Dead 1 is rough on 360 now

[cinder veldt]

Same, I did too rest of the story was on series x tho

[fallow moat]

Destiny is lower resolution than Halo 3 on Xbox 360

[limpid flicker]

I don't miss the days when some games didn't have proper saving systems.

[native fern]

suit-o is the best part of high on life

[merry palm]

I need generous saves and free lives.

[fallow moat]

Destiny: 1024x624
Halo 3: 1152x640

[halcyon dirge]

Shenmue 1🤢

[tired hare]

Outrageous

[limpid flicker]

A lot of things about Shenmue are hard to go back to. I learned this the hard way when I downloaded the remaster.

[cinder veldt]

Aka all story on series x, last missions on 360. There is some difference to be noted, one is ofc the 60 fps

[halcyon dirge]

I played Shenmue 1 on pc with gamepass and got a few hours in and forgot to save, loaded up afterwards and realised the game didn’t have autosave

[astral saffron]

Oh I was thinking of Shamu, the whale

[fallow moat]

Destiny (1) may never go to PC…

[merry palm]

Not really a surprise

[fallow moat]

Is Shenmue not a good game?

[halcyon dirge]

It’s mid

[fallow moat]

I mean ya never know, it took Halo 3 almost 13 years to go to PC…

[halcyon dirge]

Shenmue 3 is straight baaad

[merry palm]

I kind of want to replay tinykin later

[astral saffron]

I really enjoyed Tinykin, even did 100% achievements. Was a fun "calm down" game

[limpid flicker]

It's a 'good game' in the sense that it has a good story and tried a lot of new and interesting things. It paved the way for games which were much better, by trying out interesting techniques. I would call it an experimental game, and a trail blazer. However, it required refinement to make those techniques into a great game.

[merry palm]

It and unpacking are just chill games to relax to

[limpid flicker]

Considering that Shenmue 3 was a poorly-received sequel, I think it very likely that the Shenmue story will never be completed.

[brave wasp]

Sifu on Xbox, finally 😫

[halcyon dirge]

It’s a bad port

[astral saffron]

Yeah Unpacking was great too. Didn't 100% that one but streamed for a friend and we'd just unpack stuff together lol

[fallow moat]

Looks like Shenmue was a Dreamcast game my goodness

1999 game

[halcyon dirge]

It has nice music lol

[brave wasp]

Shenmue is Yakuza but 100x more boring with a billion QTEs, lol

[limpid flicker]

It most certainly was. The sequel was both Dreamcast and XBOX (original XBOX, the first generation) and then Shenmue 3 was much later.

[halcyon dirge]

And no autosave

[limpid flicker]

Perhaps Shenmue had to walk so that Yakuza could run. 🙂

[merry palm]

Its pretty easy to 100% unpacking if you ever want to. Its easy to go back and forth on dates and re do spots

[astral saffron]

Maybe I'll do that next week at work if it has touch controls... I doubt it does though 😦

[merry palm]

Yeah idk

Would be cool if it did

[astral saffron]

It does! I'll add that to the list of games to play while at work next week lol. Thanks

[merry palm]

Thats cool.

Good to know

[mellow roost]

The new feature that allows you to pick what channels you want to see is nice.

[astral saffron]

Couldn't you do that before anyway? I've muted and then hidden a load I don't go in

[rocky lark]

^

[mellow roost]

Sure, but you had to manually do all of that, now it's a checkbox.

[astral saffron]

Been a checkbox for a little while too 😅

Wait are we talking about the "hide muted channels" option? If so that's been around a little while

[mellow roost]

Not like this.

[strong cosmos]

Hey I need an Xbox player to help me

[autumn viper]

Kylie beat me to it lol

[astral saffron]

Oooh for mobile specifically

[strong cosmos]

We made neeed to call

[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.

[astral saffron]

Before it was just a hide muted channels option. What is different now with that one?

[mellow roost]

It's not a bunch of faffing about just to get the options going.

[astral saffron]

Before you just muted the channel and ticked the checkbox same as you would on PC. I can't send screenshots though to show but for me it was super easy to hide muted channels previously

[mellow roost]

I see. Probably just mobile being behind.

[astral saffron]

But that was on mobile too I did that

[autumn viper]

I have it set to hide muted channels and they’re still showing so 🤷

[astral saffron]

Mine don't on mobile, works as intended

[autumn viper]

Wait I have the voice channels marked as hidden

[mellow roost]

Yeah voice channels don't hide normally on mobile. With this, they finally do.

[autumn viper]

I still think the checklist is much easier

[astral saffron]

https://ibb.co/XzjP2Mw
https://ibb.co/KGXDdF5

I just used the checkbox before and it worked fine

Oh yeah it doesn't work for voice channels but I have that collapsed at all times so maybe I didn't realise

[autumn viper]

Yes it works fine, I still don’t think that’s the point anyone is trying to make lmao

[astral saffron]

Yeah that's why I'm asking what the difference is because I am confused lol

[autumn viper]

The difference is the checklist makes it easier rather than having to go into the channel notification settings, muting the channel, and making sure it’s set to hide muted channels

[astral saffron]

Yeah that's what I am confused about. I've never had to go into the channel notifications settings to mute a specific channel.

[granite verge]

Being able to finally hide voice channels is the best

[limpid tundra]

Guys

[astral saffron]

Yeah hide voice channels is pretty good though

[autumn viper]

Idk what to tell you then… Good for you I guess?

[astral saffron]

I'm not trying to argue was genuinely asking as wasn't sure what the difference was

[plain cape]

Add me on Xbox jawdropa

[weary solar]

If you're looking for someone to play with, please go to #587074461770186765

[autumn viper]

I mean the difference was addressed but you seem to have a different experience so 🤷

[fluid creek]

anywho

[limpid tundra]

Wanna play aragami 2 anyone

[native fern]

.

[autumn viper]

The channel for LFG posts hasn’t changed…

[astral saffron]

How are you today anyway Ash?

[autumn viper]

Tired and bored, you?

[astral saffron]

Ah, not got any time for some games today? Or a nap?
I'm alright thanks. Should be heading to bed soon really.

[limpid tundra]

Hello people

[autumn viper]

Not really finding a lot of enjoyment out of any of the games I have installed rn tbh

[astral saffron]

Ah yeah that happens sometimes. I hope your enjoyment comes back soon!

[limpid tundra]

Ash u should try aragami 2

[autumn viper]

I’m good, and please disable the ping

[astral saffron]

Just FYI as a new member we have a general "no ping" rule for those without the bell 🙂

[autumn viper]

That and my nickname literally says don’t ping

[limpid tundra]

Alr I won’t ping

[limpid flicker]

You just did.

[limpid tundra]

Alr no ping

[astral saffron]

👍

[limpid flicker]

I have the bell, you can ping me if you feel like it.
I know it's hard to get used to. Discord having that as a default-to-on is frustrating for many.

[autumn viper]

At some point I have to try Cyberpunk again, I got stuck on one of the side quests and just kinda quit for a while lol

[astral saffron]

Just got the Discord mobile update. You're right, tons easier lol

[strong cosmos]

a yo anyone up to talk

And help me with something

[autumn viper]

I decided I want to play it on the same console as FF7R, which means I can only get it for PS. 😐

If you buy 360 games on your 360 and move to Xbox one can I redownload what I purchased on 360 to my Xbox one like plants vs zombies or fallout new vegas

[twilit marsh]

[tired hare]

But i am Very interested in buying the Series S

[upper meteor]

Hi Very interested in buying the Series S, I'm Icky Spartan

[queen lotus]

Rock and stone

[tired hare]

I want to know how you ppl like/doesnt like it ?

[tired hare]

Hi

Because i have a Very Powerful gaming PC i always told myself "the PC is just like a XBOX" but now i played some Forza on my PC and had so much that i decided to maybe buy the Series S but many ppl say its trash why is that ?

[twilit marsh]

series s is Xbox series x but a little dumbed down and no disc slot

that’s it

[long maple]

just what people like to say, if you want a console for chilling on the TV while on a sofa. its great for that. you will still enjoy yourself

my kid has had Series S for 2 years. it wasnt till maybe this year he asked for more space. I got plenty of external drives though so he had my 5TB for awhile.

[tired hare]

I know that because the Playstation is my main Console i just want to try the Xbox out do yall think its the perfect beginners xbox ?

[tired hare]

I wanna use it for only Game Pass games and on a LG Oled G2 Evo 55inch is it good for that TV ?

Many ppl said for monitor use only or 1440p limited

[formal karma]

Is there anyone I can msg on support with this bug I have?

[tired hare]

Space is not a Problem since i only play 1 or 2 games at a Time

[halcyon stratus]

#233805809346150400

[long maple]

Series S is a 1080-1440p machine but you can use anything you want really. I am the only person in the house with a 4K screen

[tired hare]

The big games/ Triple A i will only Buy for my PS4/PS5
I mainly want that thing for Forza High on life and maybe some Older xbox games

[limpid flicker]

Could always try official support if the community support here isn't responding fast enough for ya. This here is just folks trying to help, not real support.

[long maple]

I loved it back in the day, where you had to research yourself. had no Internet, maybe would ask a couple friends. but yeah asking Online these days if someone doesnt like something they will tell you. but everyone is different

[tired hare]

Does it run on it ? Because my TV has HDMI 2.1 support and a 120hz refresh rate

[long maple]

yes it would work. but maybe that TV would be better suited for a Series X literally all the features are there.

[limpid flicker]

To make the most of a TV like yours is why people buy Series X.

[long maple]

I am watching people build a massive entertainment center. then you find out they have a massive garage to build stuff in. would love to make something like that lol

[tired hare]

But for me X is too expensive since im not a Huge fan of Xbox games and i already have a PS5 and i can Run ANY xbox game on my PC with 200+fps on 1440p but i want to maybe have a better experience on a big tv yk ? My monitor is 1440p and 240hz but sadly 27inch

[limpid flicker]

I'd love to build stuff too, but unfortunately I'm clumsy as heck and would probably remove my fingers and thumbs if I tried using power tools.

[tired hare]

I understand but i thought the S is the best Beginners Xbox right ?

[halcyon stratus]

Not sure what you’re looking for… Yes, series s works. yes, series X is better. Yes, you can buy whichever one you want.

There is no such thing as a “beginner” Xbox lol

[limpid flicker]

It's the cheaper way into XBOX gaming, but if you can run the XBOX games on your PC, why do you need / want Series S at all?

[tired hare]

Well its half the price so if i like it i may buy the X too haha

[halcyon stratus]

That would be a pretty huge waste of money but you are certainly allowed to do that.

[limpid flicker]

Series S will render at less than your TV's native resolution, but it will upscale just fine.

[night rapids]

Exactly, or a 'dumbed down' console

[tired hare]

I like big screens and i F'ing hate to play on a Chair

[halcyon stratus]

At this point you know the difference between the S and X and should be able to make a purchasing decision.

[tired hare]

So S is good ? Or is there anything to look out for before buying ?

[limpid flicker]

Have you thought about running a long HDMI from PC to TV? Or something else similar to that? Your plan will work, but... seems to me you have most of what you need already.

[tired hare]

And how long do Batteries in a Xbox controller last ?

[halcyon stratus]

S is good.

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/consoles/compare

[tired hare]

I thought about that but sadly my TV's HDMI's are ALL full and my DP's too bevause of my 2 Monitor setup

GPU has 3x DP and 1x HDMI

[tired hare]

Dumb question can i make more Storage like on my PS5 with a NVMe ?

I have a Spare NVMe here its only 500gb and not that fast but i could make more storage ?

[halcyon stratus]

From the link you replied to:

The 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S plugs into the back of the console via the dedicated storage expansion port and replicates the console's custom SSD experience, providing additional game storage at the same performance.*

[limpid flicker]

Not quite. On XBOX it has to be the Seagate Expansion card, which is XBOX specific. That is, for current-gen games. For previous gen games you can put them on any USB3 HDD / SSD you like.

[halcyon stratus]

It is not a random nvme. It is an Xbox expansion thing. It comes in 512, 1tb, and 2tb versions

[tired hare]

WTF 105€ for the 512gb

[green laurel]

Super fast SSDs

[halcyon stratus]

The 1tb is the best value.

[limpid flicker]

The price is not cheap, but I am hoping they will last well. I bought one.

[green laurel]

No issues on mine works seamless

[tired hare]

Man thats really Expensive but i see where the S cheaps out

I would say the S is a good Starter Xbox and if i like Xbox i will buy the X when it comes out in a Elite variant

[green laurel]

Also you can just get a cheap USB hdd and play old games there and transfer when needed

[tired hare]

It must be HDD ?

Usb SSD is faster

[green laurel]

Or ssd just saying for cheapest option

[limpid flicker]

USB3 SSD would be fine, but the speed might not help as much as you think.

[tired hare]

One last question so i wont disturb you guys here

[queen lotus]

Did I miss something, thought you had a good gaming pc. Just stick to that honestly instead of investing in a console just to try.

[tired hare]

Can i plug the Series S into my Surround sound system ?

[limpid flicker]

For sure you can. I have mine plugged into a 5.1 channel AV Receiver.

[tired hare]

I told a bit up why i want the console

[tired hare]

Does it work with 7.1.1 too ?

AV is a from Onkyo

[limpid flicker]

I'm pretty sure that works, I just happen to have an old receiver which I haven't upgraded yet.

[tired hare]

Speakers Canton and Sub's Yamaha (long range) and below me Teufel

Oh ok thank you Guys Very Much !!!

[halcyon stratus]

If only someone had shared the link to the official xbox website that had the official specs that answers questions about the official capabilities of the xbox...

Because that web page woudl have told you that both the xbox series S and X support Atmos

[tired hare]

okay im voting no mans sky

[halcyon stratus]

(it also supports dtsx, but that isn't called out specifically on the primary comparison page)

[untold flicker]

I'm back after quite a while and wow, TellTales The Walking Dead really is something special, it just sucks I picked the one wrong option, and missed one that could've made the ending even better

All 4 seasons are amazing

[mellow roost]

No Man's Sky is the choice here, yeah. I pick NMS too.

[flint lily]

no man's sky had probably one of the biggest redemptions in gaming history

[mellow roost]

The thing is, NMS went from apocalyptic launch to legitimately one of the greatest games of the generation, if not one of the greatest space exploration games of all time.

The others started out pretty fine. I mean...outside of Cyberpunk, that is, but the game itself is fine, it just launched broken af and without a lot of what they said would be in the game.

[untold flicker]

Honestly, I think Project Zomboid probably had the strongest launch from what I've seen

At least quality wise

[cyan quiver]

They were able to downgrade the game enough to run on Switch, which in of itself is an impressive feat

just shows how much the devs care about NMS even after its launch

[mellow roost]

Exactly. NMS is not only a remarkable feat of engineering, but it's a remarkable feat of perseverance and stubbornness (in a good way).

Genuinely one for the hall of fame. I will shill that game and the devs who worked on it from now until the end of time.

...Provided there's no scandals, of course.

[flint lily]

the internet historian video on it was great

[lusty crow]

I think the upcoming Game Pass games announcement has gone to Narnia. I'll be over here sleeping.

[flint lily]

as all internet historian videos are

[night rapids]

Likely won't be until Thursday since the 1st was on a Thurs

[tired hare]

What should i gift to my 7yr Old nephew ?

[cerulean girder]

What does he like

[fluid creek]

playdoh

[tired hare]

I know its a bit late ahahh but he is really into Tech and Robots

[queen lotus]

LEGO

[lusty crow]

A bit late? I know people who o their shopping the day before Christmas. lol

[cerulean girder]

A drone

[night rapids]

Lego

[tired hare]

I thought about giving him a Lego technik set like a Car or House idk

[tired crescent]

Give them lego

[long maple]

well yeah 1st December was Thursday so guessing the dates shifted for Game Pass announcements

[limpid flicker]

LEGO is good. If he's into robotics, Mindstorms is a thing, and any LEGO he gets now will work with that. I realise you won't probably be giving the kid Mindstorms gear right now, but any LEGO feeds into that.

[tired hare]

Thats Badass he will def Call me the cool guy

[mellow roost]

I'm trying to think of what I really loved as a kid because it seems like your nephew and I have something in common, but I'm not entirely sure.

My childhood was 20 years ago so anything I could suggest probably doesn't exist. 😂

[queen lotus]

Half my gifts are delivering after Christmas. So I just giving my friends a card to open that says

[merry palm]

lego is always a good choice.

even for adults

[mellow roost]

Yeah facts, LEGO is great.

[halcyon stratus]

yesterday was the cut off for USPS priority mail, and I dropped off my packages at like 7pm, so we will see what happens lol

[tired hare]

When i was a small Kid i used to love Books with sound
Or Those Drawing things that you can delete and write on it again

[merry palm]

omg so

funny thing

[next willow]

Hello good evening, today I was trying to connect to my ea account and I clicked on the xbox symbol but it didn't ask to connect and instead it said reset the password
can anyone help me?

[merry palm]

i was teasing one of the kids that santa was going to bring them coal (bc naughty)

and their response .. 'its the thought that counts'

[fluid creek]

😂

omg

[young lantern]

What’s up brahs

[tired hare]

Or ofc Games but my Parents bought me the Consoles with maybe 3 games and thats it for 3yrs 😂😂

Is it possible to fix my xbox if it started smoking and wont turn on now

[long maple]

yeah my kids got random presents off family. magnetic balls, Knex car that you build from scratch. quite a bit of LEGO though yeah

[lusty crow]

Tell your XBox to quit smoking.

[cerulean girder]

Yea. Nicotine patch

[tired hare]

I tried

[mellow roost]

Yeah Paul gets it. Knex is fantastic.

[tired hare]

Could be too high temps faulty PSU or GPU

I really like the Idea of a Drone

[merry palm]

from someone who has seen drones given.. they are cool for a very short period of time.

[tired hare]

What ? Why did my message get deleted i havent said anything

Its an old xbox one s from when they first came out

[mellow roost]

Probably wasn't you. It shows for all of us.

[tired hare]

Check for Temps

[tired hare]

Was me i accidentally said a swear

Naughty boy

[cerulean girder]

Everybody loves a drone tbh

[summer sonnet]

thx man

[tired hare]

Ong i think i get him one but for Kids ofc
With or without camera ?

[long maple]

hard to choose things even now for Teens, I just let the Wife pick the presents

[merry palm]

i'm telling you.. worst gift to give in the winter.

drones sound fun but they wear out very fast and are not great for young kids

[next willow]

Hello good evening, today I was trying to connect to my ea account and I clicked on the xbox symbol but it didn't ask to connect and instead it said reset the password
can anyone help me?

[tired hare]

I dont want him to play a Lot thats why i let him do work with (for) me 😉

[tired hare]

Without

[merry palm]

i mean. its your money, but the little ones break so easily

[halcyon stratus]

if someone knows they will reply in community support

[tired hare]

The camera could be used to spy on illegal activities

[mellow roost]

I'm over here like a total boomer thinking of Lincoln Logs and Bionicle.

[merry palm]

have given them , have seen them be given at various price points. and until you spend a few hundred dollars they are like.. not great. especially indoors

[tired hare]

I thought about the Rollei fly 60

[merry palm]

fun gift for summer bdays tho

[halcyon stratus]

i have a lot of drones.

the super cheap ones are incredibly hard to fly. and even if you can figure out how to fly them, they aren't very fun because the slightest breeze flings them away

[tired hare]

Or do nasty stuff with havent think about that

[merry palm]

honestly the cheap ones break so so easily on top of being hard to fly. and kids always want to fly them right away...

inside

with no space

remote controlled bug/car/truck is better

[tired hare]

The one i like is 100€ is it good or considered "cheap"

[merry palm]

unless you hit multiple hundreds they will be cheap

[mellow roost]

I had one of those RC humvees that sucked itself to the wall, that was neat. Was very loud though.

[cerulean girder]

Yea rc tonka trucks were the bees knees when I was a kid.

[halcyon stratus]

The cheapest drone that I'd personally suggest is the DJI Mini, and yea, those start at $400 and pop up to like $800 by the time you get the good remote control (with the screen) and some extra batteries

[tired hare]

[merry palm]

i have one that was like.. 300 ish and its ok? short battery life.

[tired hare]

GOT IT ! I get him a Slide and some Climb stuff for Christmas hahaha

[young lantern]

Question

[halcyon stratus]

and they definitely aren't toys for little kids

even with all the safety features they can still massively injure you

[young lantern]

Do you get a role for being an Xbox ambassador

[merry palm]

yeah

[tired hare]

The slide and climb stuff ?

[merry palm]

magnatiles are super fun too

[halcyon stratus]

I was talking about drones. I have no idea what a "slide and climb" is

[tired hare]

Its about 2m high and costs roughly 500€

Buy him a nuclear bomb

[merry palm]

before you get them something make sure you think about where they will put it too lol

[tired hare]

Best toy fr

[merry palm]

expecially something large

[long maple]

I had a remote controlled car as a kid, there was a special button "boost" mode car would change shape. but then doing that killed the battery after like 15mins

[merry palm]

robot building kits exist too.

[tired hare]

I meant a Playground for Kids

[merry palm]

since you said they were into them

[long maple]

that was like 30 years ago 😄

[cerulean girder]

Or those giant ones you can actually ride in that took like 48 hours to charge

[merry palm]

im also a huge fan of subscription boxes to things like kiwi crate, as gifts

[tired hare]

The real life mario kart as a gift would be fire

[merry palm]

get to build science stuff every month for a few months. kids love it

[tired hare]

I want to gift him something that he remembers for ever and is Cool too

I thought about a PC but he's 7 soooo

[merry palm]

one of the kids i watch is 7

[long maple]

oh no subscription boxes. most of the Wifes are Art related. finally getting her to cancel a couple 😄

[merry palm]

the kids ones are good lol

art ones for kids are meh

[tired hare]

Get the mario Kart thats for kids and drivable

Would be a gift thats memorable and cool

[tired hare]

Why not a real kart just with less power idk the name its the ones you can drift with

[long maple]

scrawlrbox and upcrate are ones I see through the door the most. she got some others too I forget the names

[tired hare]

To dangerous

And more expensive

[tired hare]

Why ? Helmet at home in the garden

[tired hare]

Meh its 600€ so its alright+he can use it for long

[twilit marsh]

my 360 tray opens when I put my 360 to the side but i doesn’t open when I put it up or to another side

which is weird but all of the sudden it isn’t doing that should I be happy or just expect it to happen again

[merry palm]

i use kiwicrate for the kids and its assorted lines. we are doing a geography based one rn

[twilit marsh]

what is kiwicrate

[cerulean girder]

You should always expect the unexpected

[merry palm]

its a subscription box for kids. science and engineering based

[mellow roost]

I mean if you clearly don't have a budget, why not just ask him what he wants?

The interests of children can be fleeting, for sure, but there's also that route.

[twilit marsh]

so expect it to explode

[tired hare]

Wouldnt the Santa magic go away ? And my Budget is max 1000€ with Shipping

[long maple]

I am gonna install Sonic Frontiers finally and give it a quick go before bed, I had a nap earlier so not tired atm

[mellow roost]

I don't know about your nephew but I always fell for the "What did you ask Santa for?" question. 😅

[tired hare]

He tells me the list is only for Santa

I wont just take it but i think he would like a Drift Kart (without motor)

[cerulean girder]

A years worth of YouTube Premium is the golden ticket just get that

[quasi oyster]

Just use adblock jesus

[tired hare]

I use a Adblocker for that hahah

[halcyon stratus]

I agree. Getting what I pay for is stupid.

[quasi oyster]

was that passive agressive

[tired hare]

Do yall use Headphones while Playing PC or do yall use the Speakers ?

Ofc if yall even playing PC

[cerulean girder]

I use earbuds

[tired hare]

Me too they have ANC so i dont hear anything other than the Game/Music

[quasi oyster]

Chrono Cross is on Xbox but not Chrono Trigger. Huh

[queen lotus]

both. speaker when solo playing and headset in a party.

[halcyon stratus]

For $10 you get no commercials, background play, and bookmarking... all of which are critical features for people who watch podcasts that can last hours

[halcyon stratus]

speakers

[quasi oyster]

For completely free you can add extensions that do just that. On Android you just get an APK. There's no point in corporate greed, except it's endlessness.

[tired hare]

Understandable, for me not a option because my Speakers are trash and im waiting for them to explode so i can buy new ones

[lusty crow]

I have bookmarking without spending money. It's called creating a bookmark folder. Bam.

[tired hare]

anyone on xbox rn? my party chat isn’t working

I just Like stuff and its in my "likes" folder

[quasi oyster]

You can try with me

[long maple]

yeah speakers here mainly on PC, but I dont play games on here that much. my TV is next to the PC monitor with a SeriesX.

[tired hare]

it’s just not working for me, is it working for you

[quasi oyster]

It is. I was just playing Sea Of Thieves with friends

[tired hare]

Im behind my TV haha i always hear if someone is playing on my TV

[tired hare]

my pfp in the party went grey like i’m in game chat and i cant hear / talk

[long maple]

I originally bought my PC long time ago as I used to do Music Production, but then found myself gaming more and havent made any music in a long time

[quasi oyster]

You try rebooting already? That happened to me once. I just did a sign out

[long maple]

prefer headphones at night though. I got some AKG ones

and for Xbox, I use the Wireless headset

[quasi oyster]

Turtle Beach are the best for Xbox. I'm happy with mine for Warzone

[tired hare]

worked lol, thanks

[long maple]

I had some TB 600's Gen1 felt like my head was being squashed, think they broke right side cracked, which then upgraded to Wireless

[quasi oyster]

Bet. Glad it worked out

[quasi oyster]

Steelseries are the best wireless imo

[long maple]

I am fine now, had so many headsets over the years, I dont party chat or play MP like I used to.

[tired hare]

I'd say the Best wireless are from Corsair or Sennheiser

[quasi oyster]

The chair guys make headphones? 😱😱😱

[tired hare]

But i dont play Online (with speakchat) anymore so its useless for me

Corsair does everything XD

[quasi oyster]

Speakchat lol

[tired hare]

Voicechat i meant

[trail harness]

I had a weird dream once involving Honda making game consoles

[quasi oyster]

You sure you weren't on something?

[tired hare]

Do yall remember the KFC console hahah

Who plays gta5

[quasi oyster]

Completely had forgotten about that. Really wanted it for some reason

[tired hare]

Me too

[quasi oyster]

Wasn't it just a PC, though?

[tired hare]

It was a PC like all consoles are, a pc with Lower end specs and the console look

[quasi oyster]

Am I a PC?

[cyan quiver]

And the heat that came from the console could warm up some chicken.

[tired hare]

Yes

We are all PCs

[lusty crow]

I know people who cook burgers on the hood of their car in the heat of the summer, so I'm not surprised by anything anymore.

[tired hare]

Hey hey

I heat up (sometimes) fast food on my Engine

[fresh wind]

Wondering how fast Diablo games hit gamepass if I buy the prime evil collection on sale

🔮

[limpid flicker]

Not every game is gonna end up on Game Pass.

Can't wait for new guns for Fortnite. How often do they change?

[fluid creek]

the snow cannon challenge is so junk

i can't ever find it

then i get absolutely destroyed because it's like "thunk....................................................thunk....................................." while others just mow you down with a shotty lol

[mellow roost]

Yeah it's pretty hard to find, I've only ever found it in presents (super mega rare) or completely at random in a chest for no reason.

[bitter junco]

Hello

[tired hare]

Hey Kylie! An Sam!

[lusty crow]

They are, technically. But there might be something else at play where they can't add the older CODs for some reason.

[tired hare]

Sorry I’m in a good mood 😁

[halcyon stratus]

I don't think Diablo counts as part of the CoD issue Sony is whining about thoguh

[lusty crow]

Oh no, Diablo 4 is definitely going to Game Pass if the deal goes through. It just might not be Day 1 since it comes out before the deal is finalized.

[mellow roost]

And yeah, that's something I'm really struggling with too. There's very clear "best picks" when it comes to weapons. The Maven shotgun, for example, is basically a must-have. It's so god damn good.

[cyan quiver]

because it can shoot faster?

[bitter junco]

Someone hacked my account and got me the double red hands

[weary solar]

Follow the instructions here if you believe your account has been compromised: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-profile/manage-account/compromised-account-solution

personally I like the thunder shotgun better because it can fire two shots at once

Nah did I asked 😱

[lusty crow]

That wasn't a reply to anything you said, so why respond to it?

[quaint kestrel]

Idk l just bored

[merry palm]

maybe they like talking to the bots.

[quaint kestrel]

Did somebody change my name it have a heart on my name 😭☠

[merry palm]

if it was in the front, its likely the bot took it off

[sage ice]

you can put the heart in the back, not the front

[mellow roost]

Where did you hear this at?

Part of why I hate the thunder shotgun is because the rate of fire is absolutely pathetic and you die before you even get a second shot off.

[cyan quiver]

didn't hear it anywhere, it literally fires two shots at once. reloads two shells at once too

i could tell from the ammo indicator next to the crosshair

[mellow roost]

I see. I didn't even notice that, in all honesty.

[desert sonnet]

My Vampire Survivors is bugged and the game doesn't think I completed the collection. 😞

Why must this be

I'm gonna ask that someone fix it, for Christmas

[merry palm]

tell santa

"Dear Santa, get your crap together. Love, Trippy"

[grizzled wyvern]

hi

[limpid flicker]

Late, but... I know that's true for new games, but I thought it wouldn't apply to all games from the past. Example, not every old Forza is there...?

[grizzled wyvern]

its 11 where i am

[lusty crow]

Forza is a special case because the older games get delisted. They legally can't add them due to the licenses expiring.

[desert sonnet]

Ello

And welcome to..

[grizzled wyvern]

[weary solar]

#rules 💵 13. No buying, selling, or trading items/codes on the server. Do not ask for codes, handouts, or freebies either.

[shrewd coral]

Alr

[fluid creek]

selling trials is so weird

[trail harness]

And scummy

[lusty crow]

Especially when they try selling it for more then they paid for the service that gave it to them LOL

[trail harness]

I can only imagine the amount of legal work that goes into games like Forza

[limpid flicker]

The sheer number of different companies involved is certainly a lot.

So outside of Forza are there any other older games first party games NOT on game pass?

[lusty crow]

Some of the older Wolfenstein games, but they might be on PC Game Pass. I have no idea.

[trail harness]

Return to Castle is on GP on PC

[limpid flicker]

Yeah, I guess if it comes to that then Arena / Daggerfall aren't on console game pass. I meant games which had been on XBOX to start with...

[cyan quiver]

arena and daggerfall are also free on PC, wouldn't really make sense to put them on game pass

[limpid flicker]

Sure. I'm just trying to see if there are any exceptions. I thought there were, but maybe not?

[lusty crow]

I can't think of anything, but I don't know what oldish games are owned by XBox through companies they own.

[limpid flicker]

Maybe I was just wrong, then. I thought that even for first party, it wasn't guaranteed to be all the older ones. That could just be a total misconception.

[native fern]

[wicked stag]

Lost my skullcandy earbud case at work

💀💀💀💀I literally just got em and misplaced the damn case. Luckily no one throws it away

[blissful reef]

How do I make witcher 3 use the next gen thing

[kindred rivet]

PC?

Or Xbox

[mellow roost]

If you have the game and it's installed and fully updated (and you're on the required hardware), then you already have it.

[trail harness]

Saw someone in another server complaining about 60 fps being too high lol

[blissful reef]

Xbox

[hardy hinge]

my account was hacked what should i do

[kind heron]

Did it get hacked by you gamesharing with some random person?

[hardy hinge]

he was a long time friend okay

[lusty crow]

"My account was hacked" is almost always code for "I gave my password to someone."

[hardy hinge]

can we just ignore how it happened pls

[kind heron]

Next time don’t do that. The TOS exist for a reason.

[lusty crow]

That's not hacking.

[hardy hinge]

what can i do about it though

[kind heron]

contact actual support I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️

[hardy hinge]

they do nothing

[kind heron]

But you think we will somehow do something they can’t?

[hardy hinge]

maybe y’all can get me in a call with someone idk

i need to be in a phone call with a living being who works at microsoft support

[kind heron]

Then you call support

[lusty crow]

There's a reason the TOS explicitly forbids gamesharing outside your house.

What happened to you is precisely why it's bad, even if they're "a friend."

[hardy hinge]

hm

[night rapids]

I don't know the command for the bot, but look at this message #general-chat message

[hardy hinge]

the guy changed the email too so it like says the account doesn’t exist

[night rapids]

You have to deal with support directly, nothing can be done here.

[supple flicker]

Hi

[hardy hinge]

yeah that’s what i’m trying to do

[kind heron]

By asking us to “get you in a call with someone”?

[hardy hinge]

i’ve tried everything

[supple flicker]

What's happening

[hardy hinge]

direct support is so hard to get, like i can’t talk to a real person they just make me fill out forms and speak to bots

[supple flicker]

From Xbox?

[kind heron]

Dude shared his acct info with someone to gameshare and it bit him on the butt

[night rapids]

No one here can help with support issues, you should he able to talk to someone there and if you can prove it's your account maybe they can help

[hardy hinge]

yeah i made the account

[supple flicker]

Bruh

[kind heron]

Then you contact support, be patient and prove it

[supple flicker]

You should know not to share accounts

[night rapids]

I'm giving you the info I have. You might he able to get through and prove it. Making a bad decision doesn't mean you all need to pile on them though

[hardy hinge]

i know

i’m just ask them to help me get it back

but i’ve been waiting like 3 hours for a text and messaged them on twitter too

[winter obsidian]

whats a good gamertag?

[supple flicker]

Dogfish007okface

[night rapids]

The online chat isn't working? Waiting on dms from Twitter will take a long time

[tired crescent]

Fluffy_Koala145

[limpid flicker]

Is the online chat meant to be 24/7 or just business hours?

[trail harness]

Most likely business hours

[quasi oyster]

Your credit card with the expiration date and numbers on the back makes for a great gamertag on fortnite

[winter obsidian]

Unoriginal, already used it for robloc

[quasi oyster]

🙏

[elder sail]

yo can anyone help me find what 360 gamerpic this is

I dont have image permissions so i may have to send through dms

[sage ice]

use a google search

[elder sail]

I have

nothing showed up

[sage ice]

[red wedge]

You guys are intense. Installing and playing a game just for a achievement score 😅

But that's cool too. As long as you enjoy your time

[long maple]

[red wedge]

Alright lights are off ,time to start up metro 😎

Gotcha. I remember campaign was pretty good

[frosty zinc]

Alright so basically, im planning on getting a series s soon and I've seen that some games have performance and graphics boosts, even if they aren't X|S optimized (gta4, wd2, etc) but my main question is, will those fps boosts and stuff still be there if i run the game from my external SSD and not the internal SSD?

[tired hare]

hi

[limber carbon]

🤔

[tired hare]

Hello

What Xbox Game shaped your childhood?

[sage ice]

None

[long maple]

same

[tired hare]

for me its Toy Soldiers. And Ace Combat

[long maple]

I was already mid-20's when I got my 360

[tired hare]

I saw this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3qBCJXikSI&list=PLX0jSFrWx1v0U0dH2QI_DNAXnqFR6b5_W&index=3 in my recommended and i nearly cried from nostalgia of doing chores to get batteries for my 360 controller, and inviting my friends to vs them in Toy Soldiers.

[desert sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/hulk-oh-yeah-smile-gif-25692358

I just noticed how small Hulk's teeth are in that gif

And how many he has dang

[mellow roost]

I'd probably have to say Mario had the most impact on me as a kid (obviously not an Xbox game but what do you want me to do? 💀). I mean, if you met me IRL and we spent enough time together, you'd eventually hear me start humming, whistling, or otherwise audio-ing the Mario theme.

It's like an easter egg but for people. 😂

[pure merlin]

Hi

[blissful reef]

When do you get to the vizma royal Castel in witcher 3

[mellow roost]

If I'm remembering correctly, it's right after you leave White Orchard.

[mellow roost]

Anna Gunn did a fantastic job as Skylar White, but Jesus Christ do I hate the character. 💀

Skylar is such a square.

[half hazel]

i think she was written to be hated

[mellow roost]

Yeah, that's my guess as well.

[half hazel]

i mean i dislike the baby but thats a different story

[versed swan]

exactly

"tiktok has a good algorithm" its ONLY recommending me ohio crap but mkay

[pure merlin]

What games do y’all play??

[versed swan]

not like im hitting like either

[versed swan]

video games, board games, etc

[pure merlin]

On Xbox

[half hazel]

im getting bluey and family guy

[brave rover]

why do my game clips keep skipping :(

[half hazel]

with the same mobile game playing on the bottom

[versed swan]

yeah i heard there's also a family guy problem

[pure merlin]

What games do y’all play on Xbox?

[short mantle]

Everything

[pure merlin]

R6

[mellow roost]

Pretty much same as Louie, I'll try anything. I mainly play RPGs though.

[fiery python]

Same

[pure merlin]

Do y’all play r6

[rain crown]

.

[fiery python]

Tried it once. No longer interested.

[pure merlin]

Sad

Gta?

[fiery python]

Yes

[pure merlin]

Yayayayayaayayayay

Do u have the Cayo heist ??

[fiery python]

I don't play online.

[pure merlin]

Sad

[long maple]

yeah Everything, but not online

[half hazel]

thinking of modding thanos into gta

[mellow roost]

Yeah Fortnite is...pretty much the only thing I even bother playing online no more. Outside of Warframe, but that's kinda-sorta-not-really an MMO-lite and I only play with others because it spawns more enemies which means I can kill more, otherwise I just solo everything. 💀

[half hazel]

then i realized how much of a pain it is to mod this game

[astral saffron]

I'm up at a reasonable time for once!

[mellow roost]

Yeah, that's a large part of why TES and Fallout have such huge modding communities. Same goes for Minecraft. They're so "easy" to mod, relatively speaking, and honestly, I wish it was that "easy" for pretty much any other game. Those modding communities are so humongous and there is so much awesome content.

Extends the lives of these games pretty much infinitely.

[short mantle]

If only they didn’t disable achievements on consoles

[mellow roost]

Yeah facts. I still don't get why they have to do that. I mean, there are games like Ark where you just console command your way through the achievements and apparently that's allowed, so...

My only guess is maybe it screws with the achievement triggers?

[pure merlin]

I’m bored

[mellow roost]

...I might know who made this filter if it spat out this result. 💀

Shou Tucker has made his way into TikTok.

[pure merlin]

lol

[obsidian kayak]

Should I get saints row 2022 for $15?

[daring python]

Lol

[fiery python]

Are they paying you the $15 to play it?

[cobalt coral]

ONE X OR SERIES S?

[fiery python]

Series S

[rugged orchid]

Hi everyone

[versed swan]

caps lock until its off

and then yea series s

[obsidian kayak]

I’m paying them

I heard it a good game just not a good saints row game

[rugged orchid]

Series S. I recently bought one, and I think it's the second best console of all time, generally speaking. It only loses to Series X.

[short mantle]

Prime has in-game content for MW2

[fiery python]

Nice, cheers for the heads up Louie

No problem!

Morning

https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/zqo9so/ramattra_ult_my_beloved/ When arms of a measly robot are stronger than a german engineered shield

[vocal apex]

Good morning everyone .. is there any way to buy code for Xbox game pass ultimate for 1 month I cannot able to buy by credit card

[desert sonnet]

Dang. With just two arms lol

[inner arrow]

Technically 4 but still

[fiery python]

Yes, buy a Game Pass gift card from a retail store. They don't require a payment method on the account.

[inner arrow]

Here. He has 4 arms basically. But it's still annoying that he shields better than Reinhardt who has an actual shield

[tardy pebble]

Gay people

[inner arrow]

Blizzard out here destroying their own characters because "We don't like current Meta". Meanwhile half the current roster is absolutely unplayable

[tardy pebble]

The gays

[tired hare]

Don't be hydrophobic

[tired hare]

The purple guy looks like Samus aran

[tardy pebble]

My pfp is of me and my bf. We are both men. And made of mostly water.

[inner arrow]

In the suit? I can see that

[tardy pebble]

default dances

[tired hare]

Yes
But yeah I agree with u its such a let down that so many characters are locked behind pay wall

[inner arrow]

If Samus had a hulkbuster outfit it would look like that

[tardy pebble]

Imma go walk my robot dog

[inner arrow]

Not really a paywall. But overall it's a bit bad that most characters are simply too powerful and shine in too many situations while others just... don't. Reinhardt shield for example... Basically every 3rd ability can now shoot through his shield or destroy it in seconds

[fiery python]

Alright, now to decide what to play today...

[tired hare]

I played reinhart first week he was pretty good and op u could dash forward to insta kill enemies
Overwatch meta changes wayy too much too quickly its a confusing mess

[fiery python]

Do I start my second playthrough of High on Life to get the missable achievements, or do more Need for Speed.

[tired hare]

One day dva is op next day she is not

[inner arrow]

The meta changes are horrible and instead of focusing on balancing the meta out they either completely change it so drastically that it current meta shifts into a new direction or add a new character that makes the current meta even worse. It's annoying. Can make one week enjoyable and the next simply not. Supports hasn't had a buff in ages and they are horrible to play in general. Basically nearly everything one shots them

[tired hare]

Yeah it doesn't let u really enjoy a character cause one patch it's op another patch is useless
Swings too much

[cinder veldt]

My friend funny enough bought gold weapons as soon as he came out, he had decided it would be his new main before even the announcement who he was

[inner arrow]

And the fact that Kiriko can make 140dmg with one shuriken is another thing I simply do not get. On top of that the arms of Ramattra absorbing more dmg than any other hero or shield. Like... Did they really rush those characters out like crazy to have them in the battlepass? Did they not think what they are doing?

[tired hare]

They don't care
Actual passion for game development has long been lost. It's literally just pushing out something for battle pass

Normally it won't be an issue just play whatever is better at that moment
But overwatch is a character based game it devoids characters of any meaning

In a game like call of duty or other br titles u can just switch to whatever weapon is better they aren't so character focused

[inner arrow]

Meanwhile every character besides maybe Tracer and Mercy you unlock at the start of the F2P version are nerfed to the ground. And then you also have the difference between console and pc players. There should be different balancing on console. But nah... Man it makes me sad to see a game I liked this much see go this direction once again.

[tired hare]

There was this promotion for gamepass a while back
I think only for pc but it essentially unlocks all characters from league and valorant
Maybe something like that can happen to overwatch 2 when they make the deal with Activision for both pc and Xbox

[inner arrow]

I mean... or buy a 10$ copy of Overwatch 1 was also something people could have done

[red wedge]

Metro 2033 is awesome.so Atmospheric , I almost feel like games are at their best with small/open areas that are well designed and not huge open worlds.

[cinder veldt]

Almost got happy because I found a chrome red 360 controller on Facebook with 2 games, listing said $10 and then description has all separate prices and the controller is well not super cheap

[red wedge]

What they price it at? Well over 10$? 🤣

[cinder veldt]

Yep

You guys rec performance 60fps mode for avengers or quality 30 fps mode?

[idle spear]

I usually choose the 60FPS mode in most games

[red wedge]

I would like it to look the best it can look but dont recall if 30 fps is really that bad or not

I imagine itll let me switch it whenever so I'll try it at 30 first just to see what it like.

[brave wasp]

30 FPS in games makes me nauseous, can't do less than 60 anymore 😔
