general-chat

[coarse lark]

Idk. It let me turn it up on the Xbox settings panel 🤷‍♀️

[halcyon stratus]

It snowed in Atlanta in 2018, and the weather service is saying this might be the year to break the no-snow-streak

[short mantle]

It was in the negatives yesterday, 18 today. We still have no snow either 😔

[versed swan]

nevermind, im seeing a gamestop preowned at 260, but still not wise w/ 250 series s or even 300 series s

[halcyon stratus]

12F in Atlanta Georgia where the average december low is above freezing is.... not normal

[coarse lark]

My TV sucks it doesn’t even have HDR or adoby sound

[versed swan]

doesn't mean it sucks

[coarse lark]

Nor low latency mode

[versed swan]

im still rocking a 2012 1080p plasma w/ a roku

[coarse lark]

Mines a 2012 but I bought it from Currys in like 2018 so I’m disappointed

Guess that’s why it was like £200

[halcyon stratus]

TVs don't need dolby sound. TV speakers are really really bad. Just having 'stereo' is more than sufficient for a TV

[versed swan]

mine sound fine imho

[halcyon stratus]

unless you still have a console TV, or some other large CRT, then you liekly have 1 inch paper speakers

[short mantle]

I use tv speakers. They sound fine to me. I’ve thought about getting a soundbar, but decided not to.

[versed swan]

and it still sounds fine

[halcyon stratus]

you're not getting dolby-anything out of them, so it is not a necessary feature for a tv

[cinder veldt]

The TV I use a lot, old somy bravia from like 2009, one of the better TVs I have used tbh

[halcyon stratus]

plasma?

[cinder veldt]

Don’t think it’s plasma actually, think it’s LCD

[halcyon stratus]

oh that was very early in the lcd timeline for them.
sony always used to make amazing displays

[short mantle]

This is my current tv. I eventually want to upgrade to a Samsung.

[cinder veldt]

It’s has great colours and everything

Just kinda sad, used to have a sligthly better version of it, but my brother got it and then he gave it away while moving

The I/O is just perfect for me

[swift thistle]

hello chat

[cinder veldt]

Hi

[swift thistle]

howe everyone doing

snow is going crazy, so im being comfy playing a comfy game

[cinder veldt]

We had snow yesterday, today nothing

[swift thistle]

Its crazy enough to where you can't even see a few inches before its just nothing

[cinder veldt]

That’s crazy

[swift thistle]

Its like 8 degrees rn

[cinder veldt]

Unit?

[halcyon stratus]

Kelvin

[swift thistle]

ah

[cinder veldt]

Would be dead then

[swift thistle]

Fahrenheit

[cinder veldt]

That’s a bit cold

[swift thistle]

It could be worse

[halcyon stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/tina-cartoon-you-cant-hurt-me-im-already-dead-gif-3529921

[swift thistle]

[cinder veldt]

[swift thistle]

[sweet scroll]

is arkham city a masterpiece?

[halcyon stratus]

no

[sweet scroll]

damn

ok well uh its at least okayish

[halcyon stratus]

sure, yea, it is totally fine.
but "masterpiece" is a high bar

[sweet scroll]

alr

[unique wasp]

Idk why but playing a competitive multiplayer game feels like “lesser” to me than single player games. It’s like oh crap i spent my 2 hour gaming session on halo multiplayer when I could have been playing Pentiment/plague tale or whatever

[wicked flax]

it's the best of the arkham games, for sure.

[sweet scroll]

btw, should i get elden on console or laptop

[queen lotus]

Head or tails?

[halcyon stratus]

both

[short mantle]

Nah, Asylum is 1000x better than City. Even Origins is better than City.

[upper meteor]

Hi

[sweet scroll]

uh

[upper meteor]

Halo

[sweet scroll]

heails

[sage slate]

well whats 2 hours gonna do on pentiment or whatever

[sweet scroll]

?

[halcyon stratus]

yes

[unique wasp]

Idk a story, memorable characters, plot twists, puzzles. Multiplayer feels like it’s just for the adrenaline junkie in me

[sage slate]

console

laptops are not for gaming imo

[lavish fiber]

Im curious if you want to remote play on your mobile do it requires a code?

[halcyon stratus]

i gamed on my Razer Blade for like 3 years

[sage slate]

have u played multiplayer with friends?

[sage slate]

wdym

[sweet scroll]

well uh i have a gaming laptop

[sage slate]

console still

[lavish fiber]

You can play ur xbox on mobile

[sage slate]

i dont think so

[merry palm]

its not a question lol

you can

[lavish fiber]

Yes you can

[sweet scroll]

i feel like that would turn your phones into a portable microwave

[lavish fiber]

My question is when I want to play it do I have to put a code?

[unique wasp]

Yea and that’s the same to me with a little teamwork talk but it’s a fun way to spend time with friends. But I rather play a game like it takes two/ffxiv with friends

[merry palm]

I have no clue.

[trail harness]

Xbox cloud works on Android and so dies remotely playing the Xbox itself iirc

[sage slate]

idk why u would do that in the first place 🤷‍♂️

[halcyon stratus]

No, you do not have to "put in a code" every time you want to remote play

[merry palm]

bc not everyone has a console or a pc or is at home for either of those all the time lol

[sage slate]

thats multiplayer ;-;

[lavish fiber]

What about the first time?

[halcyon stratus]

Your xbox has to be in the power mode that lets it wake up when you try to remote though

[lavish fiber]

Im asking this question coz I don’t have a tv or monitor

[halcyon stratus]

The first time you connect your phone to your xbox there is some process you have to follow, yes

[trail harness]

Setting up the Xbox Gamepass app on Android is pretty simple actually

[sage slate]

i dont know about u but i dont think halo infinite can run on my iphone 0

[halcyon stratus]

Oh are you the person that asked a few times "can xbox be used without a tv" already?

Because no, no you can not set up an xbox without a tv/monitor

[fluid creek]

@lavish fiber stop asking.

you've been answered many times.

[merry palm]

not all games are available. you'd have to check on specific games, cause i have no idea what is available on mobile

[unique wasp]

Or divinity original sin 2. Those other games aren’t competitive though. The problem is if you have a friend who doesn’t care about the story and dialogue and ruins the rpg experience entirely (last time i played divinity original sin 2)

[sage slate]

might as well play whats available on mobile at that point

[halcyon stratus]

halo infinite is available on xcloud

[trail harness]

It looks to me like basically everything available on cloud can be streamed to mobile

[upper meteor]

And on console

[sage slate]

oh i see where ur coming from i understand

[lavish fiber]

1. I only asked 2 times
2. I asked again coz I saw somebody playing on their mobile
3. Alright I will stop asking sorry

[queen stump]

[sage slate]

i just dont have the money to buy single players lol

[sage slate]

fake

[trail harness]

Looks like a typical click bait article tbh

[sage slate]

made by cnn i bet

[merry palm]

?

it literally says where it from

[queen stump]

I mean, is it really fake, when people use music as a source of coping or escapism?

[sage slate]

cnn owns it

[mellow roost]

I mean, you say that as if any of the news outlets are any good. Doesn't really make a difference what network it's from.

[kind heron]

No

[sage slate]

they didnt specify which music

[queen stump]

Why does that matter?

[trail harness]

Music can be good for you tbh. I use it to relieve stress

[merry palm]

seems like clickbait to me too lol

[sage slate]

idk but im not listening to cocomelon when im sad lol

[queen stump]

......exactly.

[trail harness]

Some of the Death Stranding music is insanely relaxing

[queen stump]

It's definitely clickbait, but I wouldn't say it's entirely wrong in the headline.

[sage slate]

ong dont trust cnn

[queen stump]

Music is highly subjective.

[halcyon stratus]

yea, i fully believe that title.

excessive excercising, excessive eating, excessive music listening, excessive napping... those can all be "signs of..." a number of things.

the title doesn't say "listen to too much music and you are gauranteed to be depressed"

[queen stump]

[half hazel]

I dont want to set the world on fire from fo4 is dope

[sage slate]

"the wheels on the bus go round and round"- 🎧 😭

[halcyon stratus]

i am a music-oriented person, and my music listening does in fact go up dramatically when i am depressed, because my other behaviors change too in ways that make listening to music more attractive

[half hazel]

skyrim music is great as well

[mellow roost]

https://open.spotify.com/track/777zXDJpBufzttU4AJ2dGO?si=wLCdCtrBSKWkP4aapbZRYA

[half hazel]

Until it interrupts dialogue tho

[trail harness]

That song is used to torture someone in Saints Row Gat out of Hell lol

[mellow roost]

1998

Spotify quit with the weird dates. Like 50 years too late.

[glossy nova]

Well that was fun just watched a semi slide 50ft across the lot in park with no driver in it and he is chained up stopped when he found the curb good thing he just got emptied. Will be glad if this melts off tomorrow

[halcyon stratus]

https://open.spotify.com/track/1auX4gkGe7hbrOH0BXdpV4?si=e558257e3e8040ba

[sage slate]

its always the baby songs

[half hazel]

1985 from google

[sage slate]

what in the ohio is that

[half hazel]

Jordanian drivers be on some zaza
I once witnessed a dude run over someone cus he didnt care

[glossy nova]

Lol we in oregon got north of 1/2 inch of ice last night and freezing rain till 2am tonight

[half hazel]

And I shouldn't have drunk that milkshake
It's cold now

[mellow roost]

Nah, much earlier. The Ink Spots started doing the song in the early 1940s.

[eager cradle]

Why I cant I play optimised series x\s on my external storage device

[mellow roost]

The song itself is from 1938.

[glossy nova]

Not fast enuff

[short mantle]

Internal or expansion card are your only options for Series X/S games

[prisma vault]

I got razer kaira!

[half hazel]

Idk what that is but congratulations

[prisma vault]

yey

[mellow roost]

Rarely.

[merry palm]

no where you can see yet lol

you have to earn the right to see the giveaway channels

[mellow roost]

Yeah, that. Also, like I said, it's rare. It's not like we're getting new codes every day. Last gift card I seen get handed out was months ago.

[prisma vault]

[prisma vault]

u smart I like u

DAYUM BOI DATS a LOT

[half hazel]

Buy
It's only 100 dollars

[mellow roost]

Well I wouldn't hold your breath here. I don't think a $100 card has ever been given out here.

[half hazel]

I'm saving my money for the starfield collectors edition
Better be a damn helmet there

[kind heron]

Get a job

[modern narwhal]

hey

[open flume]

ive never related to you more than with this statement

[merry palm]

i listen to music less when depressed tbh

its just different per person

[queen stump]

Music just hits different when you're feeling a little down.

[merry palm]

sure.

for me i find it intensely irritating when down

but other things take its place

i read a lot more when down

[queen stump]

Understandable.

[cinder veldt]

I find music very irritating when it’s in my car and subs isn’t working

[queen stump]

[tired hare]

[iron cloak]

Guys I need some opinions, should I play darkwood or dead space 2? Or should I forget both and try Stardew valley for the first time

[queen lotus]

Someone summoned me?

[autumn vortex]

is there a double fine/ costume quest server where i can ask a question

[limpid flicker]

Nobody gonna do that.

[queen lotus]

ALHE-46N4-R55N

[iron cloak]

Honestly wonder if that is an actual code

[tribal spear]

Hey, I’m here cos I got banned from the PlayStation discord

[iron cloak]

How did you get banned from the PlayStation discord

[queen lotus]

It’s used. PS code.

[mellow roost]

Doesn't really matter what they did, we don't need outside server drama.

[iron cloak]

Fair enough sorry

[tribal spear]

I said something Homophobic- this was like a couple months ago though and I’ve learned so I’m not gonna do it here

[limpid flicker]

Gotcha Kylie. Inside server drama only.

[tribal spear]

Kylie ?

[iron cloak]

Is stardew valley good? I've heard good things about it but haven't tried it yet

[golden edge]

Can i ask someone a q?

[limpid flicker]

Shoot your shot.

[tribal spear]

Oops sorry didn’t know

[golden edge]

So i bought mw2 ans i dont got gold meaning i cant play online, which SUCKS, but its also not letting me download the campaign?

[iron cloak]

Have you checked your manage add ons?

[tired hare]

Stop pinging me bro the card dont work for u too bad it might work for someone else ur in brazil

[prisma vault]

can I get the ikis biris eks please

[tribal spear]

Did you buy it or download it

[tired hare]

I tried go be nice and givemit to u for free but it didnt work so

[tribal spear]

As in was it just warzone you bought or like the 60 quid campaign ?

[golden edge]

I bought the disc bruz

I already been playing wz 2 for a second and tried downloading the campaing but dont got gold

[tribal spear]

Ohh ok

[limpid flicker]

Anyone here played Jedi Fallen Order? I'm curious how much freedom the game has and if it gives you rewards for exploring off the obvious trail.

[tribal spear]

Yes it’s a great game and there’s loads of different ways to go and collectible cosmetics to get around the world

[golden edge]

I can download it from the addons cheers spook

[limpid flicker]

Thanks, I like there to be things to find outside the main objectives.

[iron cloak]

It's like dark souls exploration wise if you played it, and you are rewarded with outfits and other rewards I think

[sweet scroll]

should i try jedi fallen order

[iron cloak]

I would recommend it, theres a good story and the combat is fun

[limpid flicker]

My only complaint so far is that the main character seems kinda bland.

[merry palm]

we cant all be awesome, ok?

[night rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-the-book-of-boba-fett-bd-droid-jedi-gif-24653225

[tribal spear]

There’s quite a bit of running from place to place but there’s a crazy amount of things to find. I really enjoyed the game and I hope you do too

[iron cloak]

I believe it gets better but I can't fully remember since I haven't played the story is a while

[sweet scroll]

i think ive started jedi fallen order but im not sure if i should restart

[gray latch]

report, block, move on

[tribal spear]

His character develops throughout

[sweet scroll]

cause i havent played in a while

[tribal spear]

Ngl I got it like when it came out then got stuck on a fight and gave up - came back a few months later and beat the fight and played through to the end, wish I’d stuck at it when I first gave up

[queen stump]

The game rewards you in the form of lore, or sometimes, collectables or skill points for exploring. It has pretty well done level designs, so sometimes it's easy to backtrack. Others...not so much. Those typically include much larger levels.

[tribal spear]

In my opinion Jedi fallen order has one of the most useful skilltree in any game

[limpid flicker]

A lot of games, the skill tree feels like half filler, I find.

[sweet scroll]

oml, i thought i didnt have the game but it was because it had "star wars" in the starting name of the game

[tribal spear]

Rn I’m playing through days gone and the skill tree is really bland. Oh wow after like an out of playing I can finally regenerate a tiny bit more stamina when I’m on low health

[queen stump]

[sweet scroll]

should i restart the campaign? i havent played in a while and dont think i remember anything

[tribal spear]

Honestly yeah, depends how far you got ig

[iron cloak]

If you remember nothing then you should restart

[sweet scroll]

i think im past the point where uh i had to do parkour to get to some type of temple

[tribal spear]

Everyone hyped for Christmas ?

[tired hare]

Anyone else not able to download things from the Microsoft store?

[tribal spear]

Then yeah restart because it’s not far in and you’ll probs want a refresh on game mechanics and story

[iron cloak]

I'm hyped! It's finally going to be very cold on christmas here. Hbu?

[tribal spear]

Oh yeah same, where I’m at we had snow for a couple days earlier this week

[iron cloak]

I wish we got snow lol

[prisma vault]

I already got my crimah present but im finally expecting snow over here at MA

[tribal spear]

It’s very rare that we get it here tbh but it was only thin snow, quite icy

[sweet scroll]

lucky :C
my place has ice but no snow

[iron cloak]

What was your present if you dont mind sharing?

[limpid flicker]

With regards to this, does that mean that on some levels some good stuff is permanently missable?

[prisma vault]

It rained like CRAZY today so I didn't go to school

[tribal spear]

Ooh noice

[icy gazelle]

hey guys i just joined looking for some help! I’m probably going to upgrade to the Series X and wanted to get a monitor for it. does anyone here have any knowledge on what the best monitor would be for the series x?

[sweet scroll]

#233805809346150400

[tribal spear]

W

[icy gazelle]

gotcha

[prisma vault]

A new headset because the one I was using the mic stopped working AND something broke inside

[tidal rain]

Yo

[iron cloak]

Honestly on Christmas I'm considering getting either Callisto protocol, mount and blade bannerlord, or Gotham knights

[prisma vault]

We could use our phones in school my buds told me

[sweet scroll]

im gonna be getting elden ring hopefully

[iron cloak]

Oh nice! Hopefully it works well

[queen lotus]

No, not community support. That’s not the channel for shopping question.

[iron cloak]

Elden ring is great I'd definitely recommend it, had 100 hours on my first playthrough

[tribal spear]

Lucky, we just have to keep them powered off till the end of the day

[prisma vault]

Its pretty cool! Its a Razer Kaira! Not pro tho. Still good enough for me

[icy gazelle]

which channel then?

[sweet scroll]

i just hope i dont get like 2 fps when playing it

[iron cloak]

If it has razor on its name it must be good lol

[queen stump]

Yesn't? Some levels do tend to have secret areas or even mini bosses, but they won't all be accessible from the get go. In some cases you'll need to come back to them, when you've acquired the relevant skill.

[tribal spear]

Only play elden ring if you’re willing to grind it

[prisma vault]

Thats the regular schedule, no pockets. Only backpack AND if it rings,goes up to principles office

[prisma vault]

Its very cool! The only weird thing is that I can't seem to get it to pair on the razer audio app.

[prisma vault]

w profile

[iron cloak]

Thank you lol

[tribal spear]

Yeah same apart from most students keep it in their pockets although it’s not allowed

[iron cloak]

Well I'm gonna go, bye everyone and merry Christmas Eve eve!

[sweet scroll]

is there a sprint button in jedi

[tribal spear]

2am here so merry Christmas Eve !

[iron cloak]

Click left stick

[sweet scroll]

thx

[tribal spear]

Yeah just click down the move toggle stick

[mellow roost]

Grind what?

[sweet scroll]

how performance costly is elden?

[abstract pulsar]

The more I use ChatGPT, the more it blows my mind

I'm currently having it build a dystopian society where everyone is given a number and people are given specific treatment based on their number

[sweet scroll]

oh no

youre giving it ideas

[abstract pulsar]

Initially, it was against prioritizing people based on numbers and such, and refused to do so

But these words changed its mind, and it's really going deep in with the thing

[sweet scroll]

aw hell naw when theres an ai revolution, they gon be using your ideas

[abstract pulsar]

If the AI had refused my idea in the first place, what makes you so sure they'll be open to doing that instantly?

[sweet scroll]

but they might have it as a 2nd option O_o

[tulip echo]

Is Dolby atmos for sound on Xbox series worth it? Because I realize you need to download an app that cost money but has a free trial

[gray latch]

you can use the free trial to judge if it's worth it to you

[queen lotus]

There’s also sales on the license. So if you like, but don’t want to pay full price, just wait.

[tulip echo]

Sounds good thanks guys.

how is that unpopular?

that's not unpopular

Nobody talks about it that's the meaning

Think I'm gonna treat myself today with a nice cup of coffee, a warm blanket, some smooth jazz, and a seat by my fireplace heater.

[gray latch]

that sounds nice!

wow lmao

that emoji got into the eggnog

[abstract pulsar]

Pretty sure that's a hidden emoji on Skype

[upper meteor]

Hi gonna treat myself today with a nice cup of coffee, a warm blanket, some smooth jazz, and a seat by my fireplace heater, I'm Icky Spartan

[abstract pulsar]

That is a comically large wine glass, unbelievable that she didn't drop it after spilling it

[tired hare]

I’m trying to play mafia 2 definitive edition and ahhhh the frame rate is making me feel so motion sick

Is there any fix on Xbox or I have to deal with this for the whole game, heard the game is amazing otherwise

[mellow roost]

"The doc said I could only have one glass per day!"

[short mantle]

The game has been out for a few years now. They’re probably done patching it. I didn’t run into any issues when I played it.

[merry palm]

do you usually have issues with motion sickness?

[tired hare]

Yea and all the mafia games are capped at 30fps. I don’t know why I’m having more motion sickness with this than mafia 3

[merry palm]

best bet is to play with the settings and hope for the best

[tired hare]

Only setting is for brightness, last time I felt sick like this was probably borderlands 2 with ultra HD texture pack

[hushed hound]

I totaly forgot about Mafia III game i played for a while... i got bored of it and never touched since that

[tired hare]

I should be fine will just need lots of breaks which sucks because I want this game done by Wednesday preferably

[merry palm]

bummer then. might be out of luck.

[tired hare]

Was such a bad game, I played it first so playing through the first 2 are amazing

[short mantle]

I liked 3

[merry palm]

ive had some luck with small amounts of dramamine, but its lame some times to deal with the motion sickness

[hushed hound]

The missions annoyed me so much so i gave up

[tired hare]

3 just felt like a territory liberation game. There weren’t really any unique missions in comparison to the first game

Was just kill this dude damage these goods ect ect

And then the bad guy gets a cutscene like ughhh I so mad I show myself and murder you like 20 times

[abstract pulsar]

I'd recommend the Godfather games, but those are last-last-gen and are not backwards compatible

[tired hare]

I’ve heard good things about that too, hopefully they get remasters and 60fps so I don’t have to worry about motion sickness

[abstract pulsar]

Highly doubt it, sadly. The Godfather II game was released in '09. And no word has been spoken about it since.

[tired hare]

What about the devs? They still around or have they lost licensing to the game by now

[abstract pulsar]

Redwood Shores? They're toast

Closed their doors in '17

[short mantle]

EA owns the IP

[tired hare]

Nvm I don’t want a remaster 💀

[abstract pulsar]

However, Redwood Shores merged into EA Vancouver and EA Montreal

[short mantle]

Heh, Mass Effect was awesome and the Dead Space remake looks fantastic

[chilly stirrup]

You just reminded me that I still need to finish my ME

If there is one EA studio I miss a ton, that has to go straight to Black Box

[short mantle]

Visceral was a great studio too

[abstract pulsar]

Responsible of making some of the most impactful games in my experience with video games as a whole.

Underground, Most Wanted... The skate. series...

[short mantle]

BioWare is EA’s best studio imo

[abstract pulsar]

Hm, they got a lot of good games under their belt

[short mantle]

Respawn and Motive are up there too

[abstract pulsar]

I don't know how to feel about this one though

[tulip echo]

My series S is getting extremely hot in the vent area, does the series x get hot as well or it’s better at heat management ?

[short mantle]

The heat has to go somewhere

[hushed hound]

Now... today is day 10... hmm, wonder what is behind the paper with a ||train|| icon on Epic's Store ?🤔

[sage ice]

S gets hotter than X

[abstract pulsar]

I didn't notice how many EA studios were Canadian

[fallow moat]

In AU that released exactly a year after Halo 3

[abstract pulsar]

Nice to meet you

[upper meteor]

Nice to meet you too

[abstract pulsar]

Likewise

[open chasm]

Would you rather always be late or always be unprepared?

[upper meteor]

Always be late

[abstract pulsar]

Late

[upper meteor]

I hate being unprepared

[abstract pulsar]

Being unprepared is a nightmare. Lateness is (usually) excusable, unpreparedness is... less excusable

[upper meteor]

I would hate being unprepared for my exams.. or my halo sessions

[short mantle]

Oh, Icky I bought a new Pop yesterday

[upper meteor]

Is it a halo pop

[abstract pulsar]

Unpreparedness is something I deal with quite a bit, as is lateness - Lateness I can tolerate quite a bit, but being unprepared is agitating

[upper meteor]

it's beautiful

Omg he even has a sword and grappleshot just like in halo infinite (2021)

[abstract pulsar]

Talk to me when a Cortana pop comes out

[upper meteor]

Hi

[abstract pulsar]

I understand

[merry palm]

its a smurf

smh

[upper meteor]

what

[merry palm]

[gray latch]

[upper meteor]

They should make a deektana pop

[gray latch]

I'd buy that just for the lulz

[tired hare]

How is everyone’s night going?

[merry palm]

buy one and send to deek

[insert witty joke about the idea here]

I plan on buying a PC soon. It’s going to be Halo themed. I’m just missing the Halo mousepad.

[upper meteor]

You're also missing some hot oj

[abstract pulsar]

What you really need is a Halo Windows Media Player skin

[quasi granite]

What exactly is gamesharing

[upper meteor]

OH i forgot.. give me a second

[abstract pulsar]

Sharing a game... against TOS rules

[quasi granite]

Like in definitive terms

[short mantle]

No such thing exists

[abstract pulsar]

As in, something like bringing your account to your friend's console, and leaving it there, open for them to play your library

[upper meteor]

You're also missing my masterpiece, Louie

[gray latch]

not friend, family member

[abstract pulsar]

That would be the wrong thing to do, I mean

[upper meteor]

I invented it

[quasi granite]

Ohhh ok

[abstract pulsar]

IDRK, I don't gameshare ('cuz I like having my account and I like following the rules) so

[short mantle]

Gamesharing is allowed as long as it’s in the same household. It doesn’t break any rules.

[abstract pulsar]

Yeah that explains it better than I can

[upper meteor]

Wanna know something that's easy and fun to explain

Halo lore

[open chasm]

I gameshared with my buddy who lives 7 miles away from me 😎

(I loaned a physical disc to him)

[quasi granite]

Explan it then

[abstract pulsar]

The only form of "gamesharing" (heavy emphasis on the quotes) between households I can say doesn't break the rules is giving a physical disc to a friend for them to play. It is your physical property, and willingly allowing someone to borrow your physical property isn't against the rules FWIK

[quasi granite]

It just came in conversation

[abstract pulsar]

Bottom line, can't share your digital games out of household. That's all there is to it

[upper meteor]

Ok, alien bad human good

That's it

[abstract pulsar]

Really? People were hooting and hollering and trying to hitchhike while listening to Daft?

[quasi granite]

Oh dang u got me good with that 3 minutes of typing

[upper meteor]

Lol

I was actually going to explain everything since the beginning but i don't think the bot would be happy with me posting 100+ lines of text

[abstract pulsar]

Ask CGPT to simplify it as you would tell it to a toddler

[upper meteor]

Who's cgpt

[abstract pulsar]

[upper meteor]

That shouldn't happen. Check if you've been pwned

I'm the one who pwns

[abstract pulsar]

Really though - check if your email was compromised before

[upbeat matrix]

Is the xbox series x much faster than the xbox one when browsing the home page and store and generally the software

[abstract pulsar]

It is next-gen, so I'd assume so

[upbeat matrix]

Guys is it possible to customize the home page now, because the games and apps take a lot of space and I cant see my wallpaper

[upper meteor]

It's fine!

[abstract pulsar]

...Man. You make me feel bad

[upper meteor]

Wait.. did u get pwnd

[abstract pulsar]

My Gmail account was pwned

[upper meteor]

Oh oof

(on the bright side, no harm done to my Outlook )

[upbeat matrix]

Redfall in early 2023 or late 2023?

[mellow roost]

My personal email (but no passwords) has been pwned, but my "business" one hasn't.

[upbeat matrix]

Okay what's the studio making redfall

Redfall gonna be on gamepass right?

[abstract pulsar]

LOL, I forgot I joined Animal Jam as a stupid joke

A couple of friends of mine and me were busy just doing random things and one of us said we should create Animal Jam accounts

[upper meteor]

None of my email accounts have been pwned.. wow

[abstract pulsar]

I wonder if my Rocketmail account was pwned... If it even still exists

Yup, 2 breaches and 1 paste

[hollow bison]

i have $15 (aud) to spend on xbox games
what should i buy?

[fallen nebula]

dying light 1

[mellow roost]

Solid choice if you like zombie sandbox games.

I legit don't know what the hell to call Dying Light, I'm so tired.

[fallen nebula]

I asked chatgpt to create a fursona for xbox

[hollow bison]

i’ll give you my kind of games based off the ones i have
jedi fallen order
skate 3
metal gear rising
devil may cry 5
sea of thieves

[mellow roost]

From Wikipedia:

Dying Light is a survival horror video game

MFW: https://tenor.com/tfkf.gif

[vast ermine]

Under $15 there's a special price filter on Xbox Store. Try that feature and see what you like

[mellow roost]

That really paints the wrong picture calling it a survival horror game. At least it does to me.

🚨 12. No piracy, sexual, NSFW, or otherwise suspicious content. We do not condone discussions of illegal or suspicious activity. This includes content that break Xbox terms of use, game sharing outside your household, emulation, discussions of self-repair, disassembly of hardware, and more.

[pine vessel]

Pretty sure case replacements would come under self repair/disassembly of hardware

[native fern]

[pine vessel]

PARTYYY

[short mantle]

I wouldn’t call Dead Island or Dying Light a survival-horror. They’re more of a open-world shooter/slasher.

[native fern]

oh yeah the sequel of knives out is out now huh

[mellow roost]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. When someone says "survival horror," I'm thinking of things like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark... You know, games with limited inventories, limited items... Games where they're scary and you need to be careful to survive.

Dead Island and Dying Light... Yeah, action slasher would probably be good.

Because I for sure haven't found myself running out of stuff in either of those games.

[native fern]

amnesia

[short mantle]

Agreed, can’t forget Dead Space!

[native fern]

I need to finish those games

[brave wasp]

I want the remake 😫

[mellow roost]

Speaking of Alone in the Dark, I have like 2 or 3 achievements left in the 360 version but the game is so miserable to actually get through (to get to the point I need to get, I like the game itself) I don't think I'll ever finish it.

I don't even think I own it anymore.

[brave wasp]

I'm not existing for at least a week after I get the Dead Space remake, lol. If they ever remake 2 I'm not existing for a month 🤣

[short mantle]

I preordered the remake yesterday.

[brave wasp]

I want it so bad 😫

[short mantle]

I’m about halfway through Callisto Protocol. I’m enjoying it. It’s not as good as Dead Space, but it’s still fun.

[native fern]

Isn't the combat in that game bad

[short mantle]

I don’t think so, but I also don’t pay attention to reviews. I like to judge for myself.

[native fern]

makes sense

[dark yoke]

$77

[short mantle]

For the deluxe

[vast ermine]

Layers of Fear is a really underrated game

That I keep talking about, it's just so damn good

Merry chrimmas eve

[lusty crane]

Finally, someone with true taste. Layers of Fear 2 is amazing too

[torpid relic]

Hey

Does psvr work with xss? If yes, how?

[tired hare]

No

[abstract pulsar]

The PSVR is a PlayStation-only system. It cannot be used with the Series consoles.

[torpid relic]

Rip

[long maple]

Xbox doesnt have VR anyway, they partnered with Meta but thats gonna be for Xcloud

[golden edge]

Ay anyone tryna help me?

[abstract pulsar]

The closest thing you'll get to having Microsoft and VR meshed together officially (and don't have to do with Meta specifically) is Mixed Reality. And Mixed Reality, I haven't heard a single word about a long time.

What abt oculus

[abstract pulsar]

I don't know. I don't own a VR headset.

[rough summit]

Anybody here able to help me with tryna load Roblox in my Xbox

[long maple]

Yeah Hololens was the last thing, but not for consumers last time I checked

[torpid relic]

Ok so if i buy xbox i gotta keep in mind that i dont get a vr world

[abstract pulsar]

Much like how the Kinect is being used for businesses nowadays IIRC

[torpid relic]

I have psvr and ps4 but i was looking for changing to xss

[abstract pulsar]

Sorry to tell you, if you switch to Xbox, you won't be getting every single game you were able to play on PlayStation. Libraries vary.

[torpid relic]

If u would compare xbox vr library with psvr library, which one would u choose?

[abstract pulsar]

There are no Xbox VR games.

[torpid relic]

Wait wut

[abstract pulsar]

Plain and simple. Xbox does NOT have VR.

[torpid relic]

Not even rec room?

[abstract pulsar]

Rec Room is playable on Xbox, yes. But you'll be playing with a controller.

It's Christmas eve!

Before I forget hope everyone has a great Christmas, I am still ill so hardly downstairs where my PC is so thought I would say it now.. busy time for me inabit cooking Gammon but getting tired yet again need another nap.

[abstract pulsar]

It's been Christmas Eve where I'm at. Sadly I won't be able to visually show the Christmas spirit on Discord on Christmas Day because I was forced to cancel my sub before Christmas Eve

Besides that, I do wish everyone an early merry Christmas tomorrow and happy holidays today.

[red wedge]

Good morning.

[abstract pulsar]

Same to you. How's your day going?

[red wedge]

Pretty good, just now recovering from being sick. So I decided to beat metro last light earlier and now starting exodus. How about you?

[abstract pulsar]

I could be better, now that you mention "recovery" and "sick". Still busy trying to recover from a cold. Other than that, I'm fine. Just listening to some music right now.

[red wedge]

Yea it is the season for sickness 😦 had a virus run through the whole family and I was the last to get it.

[abstract pulsar]

I'm just patiently waiting it out as I fret about losing tissues LOL

[red wedge]

XD. Hope you get well soon.

[abstract pulsar]

Many thanks, I appreciate it. Would like to get back to hearing my music in stereo, LOL

[red wedge]

😛

[lyric wolf]

Does anyone here have a Philips TV with Saphi OS?

[red wedge]

Nah. I have a vizio

[abstract pulsar]

Unfortunately, I do not. I have a Samsung Smart TV with... TV functionality.

(that and a Roku TV I don't use often unless I'm looking for 4K video)

[red wedge]

I also have a roku tv in living room. They are good.

[lyric wolf]

I wanna know what apps are available for Saphi OS and google doesn't say much

[abstract pulsar]

I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you. Perhaps you could try peeking around the interface and see what's available.

[lyric wolf]

I bought it but still not received

I heard it has only basic apps available

[abstract pulsar]

Check Reddit, maybe?

[lyric wolf]

Was gonna buy a 50" Toshiba TV but store said come back next week so I just bought Philips

[abstract pulsar]

I'm not advanced in a field like this. All I know is the color on the screen and the sound that comes out of the speakers. I don't really use the apps on my Smart TV.

[sly anvil]

Hello guys i have a question, why does my xbox one turn off unexpectedly and the power supply is red, is the cause overheating ?

[lyric wolf]

I researched, only info I could gather is Saphi OS being bad.
I know Spotify isn't available but Deezer is

[half hazel]

Thinking of buying a vr headset ngl

[half hazel]

But that damn oculus is 400 bucks 🤮

[abstract pulsar]

I'm sorry. I cannot help you with this. I have no idea what Saphi OS is.

[lyric wolf]

I'm on a hunt to find someone that has a Philips TV with Saphi OS

[red wedge]

I've never been too good with technology myself. I know how to open chrome on my computer and use google or turn on tv to watch something and adjust basic settings like color and contrast but that's about it 😛

[long maple]

"Philips’ Saphi operating system isn’t as advanced as AndroidTV, Tizen (Samsung) or WebOS. It’s simple and meant to bring apps to the television. It has Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, Eros Now, but that’s about the only options you have for streaming video."

[lyric wolf]

Android Tvs seem more expensive than the TVs with their own OS

[abstract pulsar]

The only thing I know about what you're talking about is that it's an operating system, and it's called Saphi. I cannot help you with anything besides telling you the name of it.

[red wedge]

Had to restart metro exodus I tried it on ranger hardcore and just wasnt my thing. Not have a reticle for shooting or info if I can pick something up or not was not my thing lol

[lyric wolf]

I could have gotten Android off brand TV but main priority for us is to get a good looking TV

[abstract pulsar]

Exodus... Isn't that on Game Pass?

[red wedge]

Idk maybe ,I bought the saga other day on sale

[lyric wolf]

Onto another question, anyone with a series S playing at 4k?

[abstract pulsar]

Wish I took advantage of some sweet winter sales this month. Missing out big time :/

[long maple]

Yeah I think they end beginning of January, had a look nothing else I want.

[abstract pulsar]

Did you find anything of interest, Paul? Got a long backlog?

[long maple]

will be a busy year on Game Pass again so might just extend my Ultimate sub

[red wedge]

I still dont have the devil kay cry games ,assassins creed games. Plenty of games I can still pick up. Idk if I will though still considering.

[long maple]

long backlog yeah I own 1500 games and still have over 100 games unplayed from previous sales 😄

[abstract pulsar]

Man, 1,500 games - that's still unbelievable to me

[red wedge]

Yea it's easy to just want to grab a game on a amazing sale but hard to find time get around to playing said game

[long maple]

last thing I bought was RE 2 and 3 bundle

[abstract pulsar]

This goes double for me. I have the attention span of a goldfish when it comes to games, sadly

I try really hard to stick with the games I play, but I just find myself ending said game and going to play something else

[long maple]

yeah I get like that, but every now and then a game comes out and I manage to finish it

[red wedge]

I finish most of my games I just end up playing 1-3 games at same time xD

[abstract pulsar]

Usually when I try to finish a game, I start thinking about things like "what if I can't do this anymore?" or "what'll happen if I do this?" or "what if I don't want to finish it?".

I can't explain it, but for some reason, I sometimes don't finish games because of a lack of not being able to do something or whatever

Either that, or I just want to roam around. Probably the latter

[red wedge]

I mean totally. If I'm not enjoying the game idk care if I'm 70% in it I'll just drop it.

[abstract pulsar]

If I'm not enjoying a game, I'll probably ask for a refund - if I feel I can't get into it (yet), I'll probably put it down and wait until I'm ready

[vast ermine]

Oh yeah, the bored game dillema

[abstract pulsar]

Though... I remember I refunded Cyberpunk before. (don't remember the reason, I think the bugs were just too much and I just wanted my money back) Right now, I kinda want to give my money back and check it out

Kinda curious to see if the game has significantly improved since '21, or '20.

...alright now I'm really curious

[red wedge]

Lmao

[fallow moat]

One game I wish was backwards compatible… LOTR: Conquest from 360.

Was such a good game!!

[abstract pulsar]

That may not be BC, but you do have the Shadow of Mordor/War series

[vast ermine]

I'll accept, that this Christmas, I'm getting coal

[fiery python]

On the subject of LotR, give me a remaster of this and I'll be a very happy man.

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514FZMPR0XL._AC_.jpg

[abstract pulsar]

Speaking of backwards compatibility and remasters

[fiery python]

Port the original for all I care. That game was awesome.

[abstract pulsar]

I know I'll never see this in the current generation... Ever, but one can dream

[vast ermine]

I'd want the original Black Box games to come back to Xbox Series' consoles. Def Jam, Need For Speed, Skate 2, if only licenses could work like that...

[abstract pulsar]

I do have good news for you on one of those games

Take a wild guess

[fiery python]

Yeah, but it's releasing as an F2P title funded by mtx and probably inevitable season passes and other hooks to try and get you to play every day and invest every penny.

[abstract pulsar]

Skate 4? Yeah I'm kinda concerned how that one's gonna roll out

[vast ermine]

Oh wait, it is backwards compatible, just not on GP Ultimate

[abstract pulsar]

But Skate 2 is backwards-compatible, which allowed me to, y'know

I do wish it was on EA Play

[vast ermine]

Still I would definitely like Need For Speed from Xbox and 360 back on the current gen.

Especially Most Wanted (Black Box), and The Run

[fiery python]

I'd rather get Underground and Underground 2

[abstract pulsar]

I'll be honest, my (gaming) life would be a bit better if I were able to play NFS:MW and NFSU2 on Xbox One

[vast ermine]

Oh yeah, Underground 2

[abstract pulsar]

Underground 2 had a killer soundtrack

[vast ermine]

So did MC 3

[abstract pulsar]

...?

[vast ermine]

Midnight Club 3

[abstract pulsar]

Ohhhh, oh yeah it did

[fiery python]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy711AoUkfk

[abstract pulsar]

MC:LA's soundtrack was equally good IMO

[abstract pulsar]

I'll never forget how I would anticipate getting to the main menu in that game - mashing the A button on my GameCube controller, trying so hard to get back to the Career mode

[fiery python]

The first one was a banger of a menu track too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92f7hAdMdYk

[abstract pulsar]

And the experience of getting my very first magazine shot... Was a wild one

There's just something about older games that made you excited with preparing to play them

[vast ermine]

Skate games also have decent soundtracks, especially 3s

[abstract pulsar]

Used to believe Skate 3 had the best soundtrack, but after re-evaluating Skate 2's, I changed my tune (no offense to Skate 3's, though)

[vast ermine]

Idk how Unbounds soundtrack is, but I heard Most Wanted is better

[fiery python]

Unbound soundtrack is terrible.

But I'm old.

[abstract pulsar]

I can't really blame you - Heat's was pretty C-class in the music department as well

[fiery python]

There's one track that I like, but only because it's a remix of an older one.

[vast ermine]

Forza has gotten the better soundtracks of recent open world racers

[tired hare]

https://tenor.com/view/christmas-eve-fireplace-gif-13134823

[fiery python]

I was not a fan of the FH5 soundtrack.

[abstract pulsar]

With Horizon's Hospital Records (preferably FH4, can't really say much about 5's) - my first time with Hospital was... it was infectious

I mostly had the radio off from the little I've been playing of 5

[vast ermine]

I don't think Hospital Records is Forza/MS brand, but I like the chillhop music when hitting drifts on the Volcano face

[abstract pulsar]

Either that or I had Windows Media Player on my Xbox cranked, playing last-game tracks from Hospital Records Radio

[abstract pulsar]

Yeah, it's not - it's just a DNB label

[brave wasp]

Ah yes, I do enjoy doing a covid test at 2 AM because I woke up with my throat randomly hurting and a heinous cough. Especially when I have to go visit my gf's family in 7 hours

Hm. Can I take both? Maybe alter the ingredients and take one?

[half hazel]

Why this hard

I want purple
Starfield,ac,star wars and suicide squad

Give me that I'm set until the release of gta 6 and TESVI

[haughty inlet]

red ftw

[abstract pulsar]

Honestly... I got frustrated with WB's NFT thing, so I'm just gonna go red

[brave wasp]

Red pill, for sure. Suicide Squad loss would hurt tho, especially since it's Kevin Conroy's last time as Batman 😭

[abstract pulsar]

Miss him deeply 🌹

[brave wasp]

[half hazel]

If I had to choose
I'd pick red as well
But damn I want suicide squad badly

[raven jungle]

I’m a multiconsole owner, and the PSVR2 not being backwards compatible makes Sony lose my interest.

[abstract pulsar]

I just want the space game

[brave wasp]

Alan Wake 2 and Jedi Survivor are too hard to pass up, even with Suicide Squad being blue 😫

[raven jungle]

I just want Minecraft on it

Like that’s all I want

[distant peak]

yo guys

[half hazel]

I think they may update it

[abstract pulsar]

Haven't been feeling the happiest with Warner Bros lately so I'm taking red

Then again... Forza Motorsport '23

[fiery python]

Gamesharing outside of your home is against the Xbox Live Terms of Service and the server rules. #rules

[distant peak]

please

[half hazel]

Take the purple yall

[fiery python]

@distant peak No. Do not ask again.

[half hazel]

I wonder if Hogwarts will be good

Like I dont really like Harry Potter
But it does sound interesting with the mechanics

[abstract pulsar]

I probably won't be playing it (was considering), but I will admit it does look cool so far

[half hazel]

I'm also excited to see what else is for 2023

[brave wasp]

The Sony exclusive stuff+the weirdly little amount of actual gameplay they've shown makes me wary of it

[half hazel]

Like there has to be more unannounced games
I'm also hyped for cyberpunk phantom liberty

[abstract pulsar]

The PS-exclusive biz is kinda petty IMO

[half hazel]

Updated melee combat 🤤

[abstract pulsar]

It's literally just a cloak and a potion, I think

Why lock that behind one console?

[half hazel]

Sony moment

[brave wasp]

Can you do cool Dishonored style stealth takedowns with the arm blades yet, lol?

[fiery python]

There's an entire store and questline.

[abstract pulsar]

...oh

[half hazel]

Yeah
Theres an animation for it

[abstract pulsar]

Alright that's pretty stupid, putting a store behind console exclusivity

[brave wasp]

And a Hogsmeade quest. And I think a vendor in Hogsmeade? And something involving dueling, iirc

[abstract pulsar]

[half hazel]

A vendor
Eh

Theres likely plenty of other vendors in this seemingly massive game

[light glade]

Wait hogwarts legacy is gonna be a ps exclusive?

[brave wasp]

No

[abstract pulsar]

No. It's just those things we mentioned (and a couple other things, maybe).

[half hazel]

Nah theres just exclusive content if you get it on Ps

But like sony...
Put bloodborne on pc smh

[lyric jetty]

Well it depends what this vendor sells

[fiery python]

exclusive quest “Haunter Hogsmeade Shop”
An extra dungeon
Cosmetic set
Exclusive shop to “sell items and gear at better rates than anywhere else”
Recipe for Felix Felicis Potion to temporarily show location of chests

[abstract pulsar]

$$$ I don't know really

[half hazel]

Where the hell is it
I Want my bloodborne sony 😭

[lyric jetty]

What if this vendor sells amazing gear

[abstract pulsar]

A store that gets you better dough? C'mon.

[half hazel]

What's the different between forza horizon and forza motorsport

[abstract pulsar]

One has closed-circuit racing, the other one has open-world driving and racing

[half hazel]

Ah

[fiery python]

Horizon is more of an arcade racer in an open world. Drift events, stunts etc. Motorsport is simcade, closed track racing.

[abstract pulsar]

And Horizon is more arcadey

[half hazel]

Might give the new one a try when it releases

[abstract pulsar]

That reminds me, I should pop my FM4 disc in, play it a bit

Really liked the Autovista in that game

[hollow basin]

hi

[light glade]

👍

[desert sonnet]

Morning all

[vast ermine]

I think Motorsport 7 is the last Forza game to include Rolls Royce

[tired hare]

Merry Christmas

[late vessel]

Xbox Cloud is pretty decent

[cursive vigil]

Xbox cloud is why they're getting sued by the FTC

[fiery python]

No it isn't

[cursive vigil]

They think ms has a monopoly on the cloud

😤😤

[cursive vigil]

Yes it is~ the cod stuff is secondary

[fiery python]

It was primarily because they claimed Microsoft lied during the Bethesda deal by saying they wouldn't make the games exclusive and then did.

The alleged monopoly is a reason to block the deal, not to sue.

[cursive vigil]

Those claims were proven false if you read the actual language of the deal.. they never promised to keep new IP multiplat

[fiery python]

I know they were proven false, but that's still the reason they tried to sue.

[cursive vigil]

🤷

[cursive vigil]

That's what I meant.. it's the main reason ppl want the deal dead

Sony just using cod to rattle the cage

[late vessel]

Xbox Cloud is still decent tho

Since you get access to an Xbox Series X

[lunar tartan]

Kylie gifted me the chicken dance on Fortnite 😂

[hoary coyote]

hi

[lyric copper]

am i allowed to give out a code for something in this server???

[fiery python]

Yes

If it's Game Pass, post it in #xbox-game-pass

[lyric copper]

alright 👍🏻

[cerulean basin]

Afternoon, y'all

[tired hare]

Merry Christmas Anchel

[cerulean basin]

Merry Christmas, Bis!

[tired hare]

😊

[cerulean basin]

Any big plans for tonight?

[tired hare]

We are celebrating with a bunch of family

I’m still trying to wake up properly

[cerulean basin]

Ok this is pretty neat! An official Xbox cassette player inspired by Series S.
Had totally missed that!

[tired hare]

It’s just such a shame that new cassette players are made with bad cheap parts 😔

Just cancel the subscription

[fiery python]

If there's no payment method on the account, they can't charge you. But you could end up running into a negative balance so make sure to turn off auto-renewal or cancel.

Why ask a question and then delete it after you get two answers?

[cerulean basin]

What a strange individual

hi

[serene reef]

i’m excited for the titanium white octane in the rocket league shop today let’s goooo

[tired hare]

Dang you can’t buy one

[cerulean basin]

Nope, it's only part of a contest. Not even sure if it's available in all countries. Just saw it for the first time from Xbox Spain (since now I see those more often on Twitter due to location 😅)

[tired hare]

I would still totally buy one if they went on sale

[cinder veldt]

Yay got the games downloaded overnight, but today is for sure the day I won't be able to play them

[cerulean basin]

What games did you download, Swagus?

[lunar tartan]

I’m bored lol

[cerulean basin]

Got a 30 day Premium GeForce Now pass from Ubisoft... so that I can continue playing the Ubi games I bought on Stadia via streaming if I don't have a PC strong enough

Which is the case... since I'm now stuck for a bit longer than anticipated in Spain with just my tablet.

[lunar tartan]

Apparently so much of the US is freezing cold. Meanwhile it’s mid 60s here 😂

Wait today it’s gonna be 70

[cerulean basin]

It's 15º here, but it somehow feels colder despite being sunny and not a lot of humidity

[light glade]

In an hour it is officially Christmas

[cinder veldt]

Skywalker saga and high on life

[vocal gorge]

[cerulean basin]

Oh right, Skywalker Saga is on GPU! Is it cloud-enabled I wonder?

[cinder veldt]

Not sure

[cerulean basin]

It is 🙂

That's then one game I could pick up during the coming weeks

Gonna check out quickly how Fortnite works via GeForce Now, compared to xCloud (which somehow only works via the web version)

[long maple]

hm guess I will add some Coriander Seeds to my slow cooked ham, remembered I went through the cupboard and chucked loads of stuff away due to being out of date.

[cinder veldt]

I would guess geforce now has the downside of time limit and no mobile controls

[cerulean basin]

Except the time limit is 6 hours and it does have touch controls

[celest sapphire]

I got gta 6

[light glade]

And I got more money than Elon musk 😎

[grizzled cairn]

i

[sterile sequoia]

I used geforce now last year for the free christmas skin that only was on pc

[grizzled cairn]

ii

i am sorry

[cinder veldt]

It’s 6 hours? Damn guess it changed since last or something, also mobile controls? Guess there isn’t much downside then

Oh wait sorry for ping

[sterile sequoia]

And i found a million dollars today on the sidewalk

[celest sapphire]

Fr dm me to see

[cinder veldt]

We don’t do leaks here

[tired hare]

new xbox ui update when

[upbeat matrix]

Hello is it safe to buy xbox digital game codes from websites like g2a

[tired hare]

No

[upbeat matrix]

Is it legal or illegal, does it violate the ToS

[cinder veldt]

Well g2a in question is very sketchy and tends to use stolen codes which could get you in trouble

[tired hare]

why you dont buy games from xbox store ?

[upbeat matrix]

Got it

[swift thistle]

too my knowledge what G2A does is legal but a lot of the keys you get off the website were bought using stole credit cards

[cerulean basin]

Well, now I've gone through a full Fortnite session via GeForce Now, and other than some settings I had to change at first (seriously? Why is it set with no grass and everything at its lowest by default?) it was incredibly smooth, I saw not a single hitch in the entire session. But me and mouse controls are not best friends for sure 😛

[upbeat matrix]

Sometimes other websites are cheaper

[cerulean basin]

And often it's because they're trying to sell you what in reality is a free trial code, or they are codes from other regions, which won't work when you try to redeem them

[upbeat matrix]

Damn wth

[cinder veldt]

If you really want to go that way, cdkeys is the one that is the least bad

[upbeat matrix]

Scammers

[tired hare]

you can buy game pass

[upbeat matrix]

Ooh nice

[cinder veldt]

Guess it's some logical thing with some special component the game doesn't recognize

[desert sonnet]

Magic!

[tired hare]

Christmas magic

[desert sonnet]

Christmas mag... Dammit bis

[summer raven]

im owner of microsoft and i bought sony today

[swift thistle]

Also today has been a good day, i figured out how to install Fallout Fixt to the Epic Games version of Fallout 1.

[upbeat matrix]

I heard before that changing the xbox internal hardrive was a violation of the ToS, what if my internal hardrive goes bad, imma need to change it in that case is it still a violation

[tired hare]

c:

[swift thistle]

if your internal is fried just send it in

[upbeat matrix]

I'm not in usa

[cinder veldt]

It's not but, discussion of self repair isn't allowed here and you should take the console to a professional or if it's a series console send it to Microsoft

[cerulean basin]

You send it via the support channels in your country

[upbeat matrix]

👍

[swift thistle]

oh :<

[cerulean basin]

I've sent stuff to Xbox for repairs. In my case they go through Xbox Germany.

[cinder veldt]

If Xbox live is available repairs should be available

[upbeat matrix]

Can they repair drifty controllers 😭

[cinder veldt]

They often times replace the controller as a whole (that's why sending limited editions in isn't recommended)

[summer raven]

whats plan to play on this weekend? mine is lego skywalker

[upbeat matrix]

In what case do they replace the controller for free

[cinder veldt]

If you have warranty

[cerulean basin]

If it's broken despite normal use: eg. you've been playing normally and you have stick drift, and the gamepad is still under warranty

I've sent them back a gamepad due to drift. It was still within the 2 year warranty here.

[upbeat matrix]

If I contacted them back in 2018 I could've gotten my drifty controller replaced, it was drifty out of the box😖

[summer raven]

alien isolation

[upbeat matrix]

That's really good to get your controller replaced for free

[cerulean basin]

Easiest way is for you to go to this website (might need to change region) and log in, put the gamepad's serial number and it will tell you if you're eligible for a free repair or replacement: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/controller-warranty

[cinder veldt]

Yep

[tired hare]

Did you get it replaced at Microsoft instead of where you bought it?

[upbeat matrix]

Thank you very much

[cerulean basin]

Ah, if it was drifty from day one... that's on you. Never accept things that are faulty at first, send them back within the grace period you usually have for these things.

[upbeat matrix]

It came with the darn xbox...

[cerulean basin]

Same thing: you could have returned the gamepad on its own

They even send you an empty box home so that you can send it in without having to pay shipping fees.

[upbeat matrix]

Fun fact, I didnt know the controller was drifty, I thought it was supposed to be that way

[obsidian kayak]

My og Xbox one hard drive died aswell but have a series now

[cerulean basin]

I hear The Evil Within is pretty good. So are the Dead Space games.

[upbeat matrix]

Silent hill 2 and 3, resident evil 4,7, village

[obsidian kayak]

Prob better just to save up for a series s or x rather thin repairing a old console. If you can

[upbeat matrix]

Oh ok

Do xbox controllers come with 1 year warranty at least from Microsoft normally, by default

[obsidian kayak]

90days atleast In us

[upbeat matrix]

Mmm

[flint lily]

Merry Christmas

[obsidian kayak]

Merry Christmas

Happy holidays to

[elfin quiver]

merry christmas

[cinder veldt]

If my 20th anniversary controller gets issues I'm screwed as there is no repair shops here and I'm not sending it to MS lol

[elfin quiver]

i dont have an xbox

[upbeat matrix]

Is it dangerous for my xbox one s to shut it down completely everyday

[elfin quiver]

probably

[upbeat matrix]

Like give it a full shutdown from settings

[elfin quiver]

yeah mabye idk

[cinder veldt]

Nah it's fine

[tired hare]

No?

[long maple]

why would Xbox make it a setting if its dangerous

[upbeat matrix]

No I meant like does it shorten the life span of the xbox or make it wear out faster

[tired hare]

Is it dangerous for a car to turn off its engine?

[upbeat matrix]

No

[astral saffron]

If I'm mid driving then yes 😅

[tired hare]

Chicken
