general-chat

[astral saffron]

Wow

[night rapids]

Don't ps and xbox both have the same free to play games?

[abstract pulsar]

no wait

[astral saffron]

It did come to Xbox assuming we're talking about team fortress

[fiery python]

TF2 released years ago.

[abstract pulsar]

Team Fortress was released on the Orange Box several years ago

[halcyon stratus]

They are likely talking about game pass and the PlayStation umm archive or whatever the thing on my ps plus sub is

[astral saffron]

It was part of the orange box. It didn't get any updates though

[halcyon stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-owen-wilson-nods-amazed-astounded-gif-16207648

[abstract pulsar]

I love how they just label the "accept" button with words like "Wow", "Cool", "Sweet", "Gross"

[astral saffron]

GO is also on Xbox

[halcyon stratus]

Some mobile games translate well to big screens, others don’t

[astral saffron]

Nobody really played it unfortunately. It also had 'weird' controls that basically weren't the standard at the time

CS:GO still has the servers up I think too

I mean on Xbox specifically

But that also didn't get any of the QoL updates or new features. So again it just died very quickly

I'm hoping the next release Valve have on consoles is HL:A on PS5 VR

I recently played Portal 2 again though. That was fun

I think it was free on games with gold so got my friend to get it so we could do coop

[tired hare]

Imagine if VALVe made games

[inner arrow]

They did. Once. Never again.

[halcyon stratus]

They released one like last year

[inner arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/shh-secret-chris-pratt-silence-dont-say-gif-17543341

[halcyon stratus]

I’m h alyx was 2020, so 2 years ago

[inner arrow]

Actually they did release a game last year. The steamdeck minigame

[trail harness]

I got it in a retail version of The Orange Box on PC

Back when it was still a paid game

[halcyon stratus]

Wait they released one this year. “Aperture science desk job” lol

[inner arrow]

That was the steamdeck one. And wasn't that last year?

[trail harness]

Valve should make a game where one of the weapons is a combustible lemon

(that burns your house down)

[sturdy breach]

playing wolfenstein was hard for me on xbox

[trail harness]

Most games from both ID and Bethesda are mostly game over simulators for me

[inner arrow]

Wolfenstein still has the funniest QTE ever made

Just google "Wolfenstein Stab gif" lol

[sturdy breach]

yeah ik really

the enemy guard and you stabbing each other at the same moment

[inner arrow]

It's so damn funny

[sturdy breach]

Agreed, also I like wolfenstein 2 the most

[inner arrow]

The new ones are all good. Even Youngblood despite what people are saying

[tired hare]

Do any Series X|S games work on HDD?

[sturdy breach]

I didn't play youngblood and oldblood but I think they are good

[inner arrow]

Old Blood is definitely a must play. Youngblood is best experienced with a friend

[tired hare]

I really don't want to pay 200 dollars just to play TABS

At that point i would sell my series s for a Series X

[sturdy breach]

Also Doomcraft,can I send a friend request?

[inner arrow]

On discord?

[sturdy breach]

yeah

[inner arrow]

Sure. Go ahead

[sturdy breach]

Oops,looks like you have to send me a friend request

[inner arrow]

Just did. Hopefully it works now

[sturdy breach]

Yeah it works

[pallid vessel]

If anyone here has ever played hexic HD, how do you make the black pearl without accidentally destroying the starflower pieces?

[inner arrow]

Nice 👍

[halcyon stratus]

You make multiple starflowers in different sections of the board, and then you very painfullly rotate them in to place

[regal shell]

This conversation is giving me flashbacks

[maiden yoke]

Hi

[solar ginkgo]

Hi

[fluid creek]

Frozen free fall??

[halcyon stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/robin-williams-gif-6037089

Hexic is a great game but my last achievement was in 2006. At some point I lost The Hex Vision and could no longer set the board up without thinking lol

[long jolt]

hi

[shadow slate]

Ooga

[tired hare]

Just got my series s and I have a 165hz monitor but it doesn't let me do 120 fps, help ?

[fluid creek]

Yeah no. I’m sure you can figure out why he’s not welcome

[surreal hamlet]

Yall seen the rain in the UK?

Not once in my life did I think I'd see a boat at as Asda

Every server im on is sleeping today

[regal shell]

Oh no

I still have the PS4 version to finish

[kind heron]

Or just nobody is interested in that topic of conversation 🤷

[kindred rivet]

Im shocked my base ps4 made it through GoW and Horizon

[inner arrow]

Meanwhile mine survived 300+ games lol

[kindred rivet]

I realize they really are just ps4 titles that get boosted by the newer consoles but still

They got some talented folks over there

[inner arrow]

Oh you mean the new Horizon and New God of War?

[kindred rivet]

Yeah

[inner arrow]

Well… this is nothing against the ps5 or anything but we living in the times of diminishing returns. Most gameplay things have been done already in one way or another. And graphic’s aren’t going to improve as much as they did the 30 years ago

Altho lumen and nanite are one hell of a great innovation in terms of graphical fidelity

[kindred rivet]

PS5 would be a pretty significant investment for me for what i'd get out of it

[boreal kestrel]

Hey Guys looking for some friends add me if you want to 🙂

[inner arrow]

I would love to get a ps5. But I still need ‘that one game’

And sorry but Uncharted and co won’t do it for me. Maybe FF16 if it was truly open world and not the confirmed linear adventure

[kindred rivet]

The two i listed probably would have pushed me over if it was exclusive. Were getting to the point where the next batch of titles will probably be made just for it

Horizons DLC is ps5 exclusive iirc

[kind heron]

Do you play Halo Infinite?

[kindred rivet]

I never really got into uncharted either.

Then again I stopped really getting a playstation around 2005

[inner arrow]

Horizon never really interested me much. I find the gameplay loop just… generic. Which isn’t bad per se just not for me

[kindred rivet]

The first was better than the second imo

[inner arrow]

I haven’t even completed the first

[kindred rivet]

A lot of its appeal was story and world building that i felt took a hit in the second

[normal tusk]

I’m rich

[inner arrow]

The only PS5 exclusive that is out rn that I find interesting is Returnal but I spoiled myself the story away lol

[cinder veldt]

Sad moment for me, my car amplifier is getting 4ohm, I want 2, but something is making it not be right 😦

[kindred rivet]

Returnal looked neat

[inner arrow]

I think the gameplay is what keeps me interested in it despite being released about a year ago

[craggy hill]

Returnal is extremely fun. Especially after the co-op/tower survival update

It’s suppose to be coming to PC but the system requirements was really ridiculous

[kindred rivet]

A 1060 for min doesnt sound too ridiculous

[inner arrow]

32gb ram lol. ‘Recommended’

[craggy hill]

That part ^

[obsidian raft]

Is it enjoyable if you aren't a fan of souls games?

[kindred rivet]

I can see 32 ram being steep

[inner arrow]

The ps5 has 16… why does a pc need double that for recommended specs? It’s just lol

[craggy hill]

It’s not even a soulsborne game. More a rougelite shooter

[inner arrow]

It’s not a souls game. It’s basically hades as a shooter

[halcyon stratus]

becuase the PC is running a much more willy nilly set of background OS processes than a console

[obsidian raft]

I'll check that out as I have PS plus premium until July.

[halcyon stratus]

the likelihood of Adobe Updater running hte background of an Xbox is zero, for example

[sturdy breach]

Yoo guys I got the cod mw2019

[craggy hill]

I was gonna say. A console is more streamlined for its only task of gaming where a PC kinda has to fit a criteria of one size fits all

[obsidian raft]

Do you think a slim model of the Xbox series x will come eventually?

[craggy hill]

Easily

[obsidian raft]

I bought a Series S last week to go with my PS5 digital because I won't buy a series X if a new model will be announced this summer.

[halcyon stratus]

there have been no announcements about new model announcements coming this summer

[sage ice]

With the supply chain how it is, I wouldn't bet on a console refresh this summer

[craggy hill]

A console refresh could help with reducing the needed parts

[sage ice]

How?

[halcyon stratus]

slimming down the S wouldn't be on the top of my list if I was in charge, which I'm not.

[craggy hill]

Cut corners on areas that aren’t needed or just reducing the size of certain parts like we always see with slimmer models

[kindred rivet]

The s is so smol

[craggy hill]

I don’t think the S will get a revision unless it’s to upgrade the specs

[sage ice]

That won't help.

[craggy hill]

How so?

[halcyon stratus]

here's my top 5 list. Hire me please Xbox.

1. make them purple, but not a crappy purple, a good purple
2. flatten the series x and switch away from teh heat chimney design
3. upgrade the base storage in both
4. bluetooth audio
5. glitter and gloss coat

[obsidian raft]

S looks incredible, X looks like a fridge.

[gray latch]

there are no crappy purples

[molten briar]

Fuchsia, sold

[sage ice]

The main parts are what is on a supply chain issue.

[halcyon stratus]

i'll send my resume

[craggy hill]

When the Switch gets Bluetooth audio first 🗿

[weary solar]

https://careers.microsoft.com/

[halcyon stratus]

well the switch used bluetooth in the first place

[open flume]

0/10 - no plans to make the console free

[halcyon stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/deep-magic-lion-witch-narnia-dont-recite-gif-14879671

[fluid creek]

Just push down on the top of the X and make it a chonky boi

[craggy hill]

I’m sure all consoles have some sort of Bluetooth connectivity

[fluid creek]

No?

[halcyon stratus]

I'm sure you're not an electrical engineer too

[obsidian raft]

A white Xbox series x looks sleek.

[open flume]

no, developer. look at the name.

[fluid creek]

Nah needs more purple

[obsidian raft]

Well, from the concept art pictures.

[halcyon stratus]

some xboxes might have bluetooth chips in them, since some of the most popular wifi chipsets include bluetooth for free. But even if they used one of those, that doesn't necessarily mean there is a secret antenna just chillin in there.

[tired raft]

Can yall just DM me how much you sleep and how many hours yall play? be a homie i gotta do some statistics math project. Its hella painful but it would be nice

[regal shell]

Since no Xbox console supports Bluetooth that’s incorrect

[open flume]

i put a blue chip and a plastic tooth into my usb slot of my xbox to make it bluetooth

[coarse hornet]

Nah thats rubbish

[obsidian raft]

Mid-Gen Upgrades for PS5 and Xbox Series X devkits have been received by most AAA studios, according to Tez2.

Tez2, who is a known to be a dataminer and insider for mostly Rockstar games, stated on [GTAFORUMS :"Most AAA studios should have received the dev kits of mid-life upgrades or should receive them by the start of new year]

[limpid flicker]

Like all the Switch Pro trash talk.

[obsidian raft]

Tez2 is a reputable data miner though, he is a trusted source.

[craggy hill]

The PS5 refresh is mire widely knowing. I haven’t heard much on Xbox though or what they plan to do with it

[limpid flicker]

Data mining doesn't tell you things like this.

[lyric jetty]

Even a broke clock is right twice a day

[scarlet river]

DAE remember Emily Rogers? The supposed "video game leaker"? Ah good times.

[limpid flicker]

I don't personally expect mid-gen refreshes on this gen of XBOX. I'm hoping to not sound too presumptuous by saying that.

[cinder veldt]

Think this is the same one that said this is the last GTA online update for last gen, that's actually understandable and seems reasonable.

[fluid creek]

This is the funniest post I think I’ve ever seen here.

[lyric jetty]

That was a fun saga

[scarlet river]

If you think those people are "legit", I have some ocean front property in the middle of Montana you'd be interested in.

[lyric jetty]

Yeah Tez is trustworthy for GTAV stuff

Other things however

[molten briar]

i hope we do mid gen refresh with completely different naming schemes for them just to be even more confusing

[regal shell]

You said connectivity though

[scarlet river]

And when called out on it, she'd back pedal and make up excuses. Was really bad when publications would site them as legit.

[cinder veldt]

For GTA V stuff I trust that as you say, but always a small grain of salt

[limpid flicker]

I respect that you just want to watch the world burn. 🙂
Series X-Y-S and Series S-Y-X should do, right?

[scarlet river]

Xbox Saga E and Xbox Saga M

[craggy hill]

Damn, just trying to have a conversation and I get dogged on? 😂

You’re arguing with an Xbox engineer though lol

I didn't realize Xbox saved my Gamerpic from when I had a 360. Now its a cat.

[limpid flicker]

I always use a default PFP because I don't need the hassle.

Custom ones are cool, and a Nightcrawler pic might be nice... but ehh, I don't need it. Oh actually I lied... it's not a default, it's a picture of my 360 Avatar... which is also not something that needs approval.

[regal shell]

If you actually use a 360 gamerpic it’s not custom and doesn’t require you to be an adult

But you need to set it on a 360

[halcyon stratus]

oh i thought y'all had upscaled them and added them as normal options? and made them circles instead of squares or something?

No they redid a very few of them

Can someone help me with redeeming an Xbox gamepass code I don't have a payment method 😭💀

[kind heron]

Halo Infinite

[kind heron]

You can’t. You need the payment method because it’s a free trial

[wintry jasper]

i guess it's only via the app cause i couldn't click on the profile those ms reward messages are getting annoying lol

[sly hemlock]

Can I give u the acc and code to redeem for me?

[kind heron]

I’m pretty sure you can do it via the console too J just haven’t

[kind heron]

You want me to put my payment info into your account? Hell no

[sly hemlock]

No

[astral saffron]

Nice one!

[kind heron]

You can’t redeem a code without payment info. You also shouldn’t give your account info to strangers, or really anybody else

[regal shell]

This is a terrible idea, and also against the rules.

[sage ice]

The account would still need a payment method

[sly hemlock]

I also have 3 usd I can buy a trial but it also asks for payment

[wintry jasper]

bit of a strange question but i've gotten a few cuts on my thumb from playing on my series anyone else have this happen the sticks are kinda rough

[sly hemlock]

Oh I'm sorry didn't know

[kind heron]

Because that’s how the trials work. You have to sign up for the service. If your parents aren’t willing to put their info onto your account you’ll just have to go without gamepass

[sly hemlock]

Alright thanks for ur time

[kind heron]

No problem. Definitely be more careful with your account info. If I was a scumbag I could’ve taken your acct

[sly hemlock]

Thanks for your concern, much appreciated

i might be putting to much pressure on the stick when i play halo the ps5 sticks are very smooth

really see a doctor?

if your flesh is so delicate that rubber is ripping it, that doesn't seem normal lol

these things aren't coated in steel wool or mr clean magic eraser material...

i like fallout 4 because its a modding sandbox with plenty of bugs

[wintry jasper]

the biggest part of the game buliding settlements was just a alpha or beta test for 76

[calm arrow]

its fun but with my adhd and issues with remembering complex stuff at times fallout can be a little much (i played it back when we had an xbox one s)

[kind heron]

No it really wasn’t. It was a feature that was requested for a decade and saw people using mods to try and add it to 3 and NV. They just poorly tried to base a game around it in 76

[wintry jasper]

it felt like it

[kind heron]

If you just came into the franchise at 4 and 76 I could see that I guess. But in 4 it really was just them giving the fans exactly what they wanted and requested for years.

[wintry jasper]

i guess i started on fallout 3 myself

[calm arrow]

is fallout 4 a good game to start with? or would one of the 360 games be more ideal?

[wintry jasper]

new vegas is the best one

[kind heron]

Fallout 3 and NV are a bit dated in terms of gunplay. 3 more so than NV. I still recommend NV to everyone. It’s fantastic. The pinnacle of the franchise. The only game that comes close is Fallout 2 and not many people want to go back to a 1998 isometric RPG

[wintry jasper]

but if you want more freedom and running fallout 4 is better

i would also say fallout 4 has the best dlc out of all of them nuka world

[kind heron]

I prefer Old World Blues, Point Lookout, Broken Steel, Honest Hearts and even The Pitt to Nuka World.

[mellow roost]

Old World Blues takes the cake for me as well.

[calm arrow]

how much is nuka world?

[kind heron]

Idk, it’s been a while since it dropped you may be able to get the GOTY edition with all the DLC for a decent amount. Heck Fallout NV with all the DLC is probably $5 on steam RN

[wintry jasper]

no idea i think it was 15 on playstation when i got it

how long will my xbox controller last if i plug a car battery to it

[cinder veldt]

Don’t

[tired hare]

i said how long.

[cinder veldt]

0

[tired hare]

why

[cinder veldt]

It will be fried

[tired hare]

r u sure

[dark sparrow]

Oh hey swag

[cinder veldt]

Let me check

[tired hare]

wdym lemme check, r u gonna try or smt

[cinder veldt]

Okay yep the xbox controller is like 5 or 3v or something

[tired hare]

so?

[cinder veldt]

A car battery isn’t

[tired hare]

i’m not good with physics explain

[cinder veldt]

You beat my no effort score?

[cinder veldt]

Car battery give more power than xbox controller can handle

[dark sparrow]

And yes i use the clown suit

[tired hare]

just hold the energy in the battery longer?

[cinder veldt]

That’s one way to do it

[halcyon stratus]

Oh no what is even happening lmao

Bro you’re gonna catch your house on fire lol

[cinder veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-ugh-seriously-kimi-no-nawa-anime-gif-17778269

[dark sparrow]

It's actually a really easy method to beat the mission, you only need two items (technically three)

[tired hare]

i don’t understand physics

[halcyon stratus]

Car batteries have enough amperage to spot weld - or throw sparks to catch your carpet on fire

[karmic sail]

Hi

[halcyon stratus]

Big force go in small.
Small break.
Sad.

[cinder veldt]

And also much more volts

[cinder veldt]

I would try, but what’s the point 😆

[tired hare]

why sad

[azure peak]

Is it bannable to use g2a or kinguin or cdkeys for gamepass

[halcyon stratus]

The colts have very little to do with the spot welding capabilities of a car battery

[halcyon stratus]

It is dumb. You’ll get scammed.

[astral saffron]

CDKeys is more trustworthy than the others, but your account could potentially be suspended or banned if the keys you used were purchased fraudulently and then sold on

[cinder veldt]

But giving an xbox controller 12v wouldn’t be super good is my point

[astral saffron]

I purchase a lot of stuff off of CDKeys and have been fine so far, but that doesn't mean it always will be

[tired hare]

@halcyon stratus what if u hook two into it, it’s called like a parrarel circuit or smt. where the voltage spilts

i was taught this in lockdown when i never went on online lessons

[dark sparrow]

It's actually really easy, ngl

[halcyon stratus]

I believe you never went to your lessons.

[tired hare]

could u tho

[halcyon stratus]

This is not what happens when you connect two batteries together

[tired hare]

noooo i mean two controllers,

Whatever you think you are doing, don’t.

Is it worth selling an old console?

[cinder veldt]

Yes, but beating the score I won’t because then you will spend a day in your life or something

[azure peak]

I'm so screwed, basically I'm 13 and surprise surprise I have no card, I got a code for 2 months bur I can't redeem

[tired hare]

they can split right like two chargers in one. they split but lower voltage can u do thag to controllers and car battery

[pine vessel]

I spent nearly £100 on Vape stuff today 💀😂

[cinder veldt]

Yes, but still if I beat your score I will feel proud for a day then beaten lol

[limpid flicker]

I echo this sentiment.

[tired hare]

you about to die don’t put the 💀 emoji or ur wish will come true

[dark sparrow]

True

[halcyon stratus]

I can’t tell if it is a silly but unique troll or someone who is about to actually start a fire in their bedroom

[pine vessel]

Bought a refillable vape kit, 2 batteries, the funny man vape liquid (S'all Goodman) and some Blue Cola Energy vape liquid

[cinder veldt]

I have a feeling it’s the last part, or a well convincing troll

[tired hare]

bro i just want my controller to not run out of charge

[pine vessel]

Love the play on words with Saul Goodman being S'all Goodman

[cinder veldt]

Use a cable then 🤦

[pine vessel]

They also have other flavours like Darth Vapour and Luke Skyvapour

[tired hare]

runs out quick

[limpid flicker]

I've heard of people doing wild things. Things I dare not even mention in here, because I'd risk putting the idea out there.

[dark sparrow]

Plug it into the wall or console

[tired hare]

don’t have that kinda controller and i’m being forced to use my money on shoes

[cinder veldt]

You don’t have a controller with a micro usb or usb c port?

[tired hare]

no i do

[cinder veldt]

Then I see no issues

[tired hare]

but it brakes if i play with it so i gotta wait which i’m annoyed abt

[cinder veldt]

Okay now I’m actually thinking it’s a troll instead

[dark sparrow]

Probably

[cinder veldt]

I redirect to google or something 😆

[tired hare]

i’m not trolling i’m genuinely wondering how to connect car battery to controller

[dark sparrow]

[pine vessel]

Arriva, world's worst bus company 😈

[limpid flicker]

The two possible answers are: 1) Do not and 2) Only with way more trouble and expertise than you expect.

[cinder veldt]

That’s not even a car battery

[long maple]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-bart-simpson-grampa-simpson-old-man-going-in-gif-17818438

[cinder veldt]

If you don’t want your controller to die, plug it in. That’s my last message because the point is gone

[pine vessel]

That may result in an explosion, electrocution/death or you destroying your controller beyond repair, so don't even try it

[tired hare]

yeah it’s more powerfull

[limpid flicker]

That isn't a good thing.

[hardy hatch]

Hi

[pine vessel]

The controller can only handle a certain amount of power anyway, so not like you'll end up immediately frying it most likely

[pine vessel]

Your name is tripping me out lol

[abstract pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/more-power-home-improvement-tim-allen-drill-gif-16749349

[limpid flicker]

You put power at the wrong voltage into something, you fry it.

[abstract pulsar]

(please do not add more power to everything, it's dangerous)

[tired hare]

is the power of a battery the watt, voltage or amps

[limpid flicker]

Hahah yeah it's a little bit of a harmless troll from when someone was complaining that a person (I forget even who) was typing for too long.

[pine vessel]

Or worse, you may end up injuring/killing yourself, electricity is not something to just be messed with unless you know 100% what you're doing

[limpid flicker]

The answer is: All three, electricity is complicated.

[calm arrow]

Anyone got a link for a good 1TB external SSD for Xbox Series S?

I could easily find a 1TB SSD, but I want one that works really well specifically with the Xbox.

[pine vessel]

Seagate, it's the only one that you can use with Series games

[limpid flicker]

Most external SSDs still won't be able to run Series S | X games.

[pine vessel]

You're only choice is the Seagate Expansion Card

Until other companies get permission to make them

[calm arrow]

Dang. They are way too expensive.

[limpid flicker]

As the only choice that will work, they can set their own price and you take or leave it.

[calm arrow]

That honestly sucks.

[cinder veldt]

I got you https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Storage-Expansion-Solid-State/dp/B08K3S6WJM https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Storage-Expansion-Solid-State/dp/B08K3S6WJM

[calm arrow]

$200 😭

[abstract pulsar]

Gaming is an expensive hobby

[pine vessel]

I think there are conversion kits that let you use a standard NVMe as an expansion card but not sure how reliable those are

[pine vessel]

Just gonna keep getting more expensive, especially with nVidia

[limpid flicker]

A little bit, but 'it sucks' doesn't change anything. I bought one, and kinda want another...

[cinder veldt]

Well at most it is detected, but not working as series storage I read (so basically worthless)

[abstract pulsar]

Sorry to tell you, but

But besides that, yeah

[limpid flicker]

I am not convinced they work well enough to trust them... the cosrt involved is not negligable when there's no guarantee.

[versed swan]

me with a 32 bit phone and only 32gb of storage

[astral saffron]

I was told the other day that other companies can make them, so maybe if they do some competition will lower the prices a bit

[limpid flicker]

Sure, that will help a lot when it happens. I'm looking forward to that.

[inland osprey]

I have a problem where my Xbox series s started making fan noises, does anybody know why?

[astral saffron]

Same, I'd love one but it makes more sense to me to just buy another xbox at this point lol

[abstract pulsar]

The fan is... working...?

[cinder veldt]

It needed to cool

[tired hare]

i’m acc not trolling on my life with this question, would you put your kid in the microwave for 3 seconds for 3 million pound/dollars.

[calm arrow]

no

[limpid flicker]

Is it possible you're playing a more demanding game than usual?

[tired hare]

good

[pine vessel]

That's normal, the fan is just doing fan things

[abstract pulsar]

Guys they're not trolling - let's believe everything they say from now on /s

[mellow roost]

A, that wouldn't actually do any harm (that doesn't mean do this, don't be stupid, people), B, it's 3 million dollars, and C, what the hell kind of question is this?

[tired hare]

if someone said yeah i would have asked if they could take in my children

[inland osprey]

No I play the usual

[inland osprey]

Yes but it never done that before until recently

[azure peak]

If I buy a game on my main xbox account and that account gets banned, can my other accounts on the same xbox, play that game considering the buyer account got banned
Btw I didn't get banned, it's just a question

[lyric jetty]

main account gets banned - license goes bye bye

[limpid flicker]

I've never been banned but I think it means losing your games.

[cinder veldt]

Game will be gone

[pine vessel]

Maybe there's dust in the fan, try using a can of compressed air and spraying in the vents

[ripe temple]

ps5 > x box series x

[calm arrow]

Currently in the process of wasting 72GB of space on Battlefield 2042. 😎

[limpid flicker]

It's a very good incentive to not ever get banned. 😭

[pine vessel]

We don't do console wars here

[limpid flicker]

I think if my XBOX account got banned, I'd have to quit gaming.

[cinder veldt]

Same

[calm arrow]

Is it better than it was? I have never played it in any capacity.

[cinder veldt]

But luckily I don’t think I would have any risk of that

[inland osprey]

That's funny my brother said the exact same thing

[tired hare]

this is littaraly the xbox chat

[ripe temple]

oh ok

[inland osprey]

Please don't play that game

[pine vessel]

Just ignore, they're clearly a troll lol, no need to give them attention

[limpid flicker]

I like to think the same, but who knows what the future can bring?

[calm arrow]

I will judge for myself.

[pine vessel]

I played a bit and it was terrible lol

[calm arrow]

Probably will uninstall and get BF1 or BF4.

[dark sparrow]

I had 2042 ultimate edition gifted to me, so i only have a time investment

[cinder veldt]

Hopefully we both avoid that

[calm arrow]

Just wanna experience it for myself since I finally have the ability to.

BF3/BF4 peak battlefield experience 😈

I loved BF3/4 campaign lol

[dark sparrow]

Im friends with one of the top people with Kolibri kills in BF1

Technically same because we have Xbox Game Pass. It cost me 1/467 of the Game Pass Ultimate subscription lmfao. I think there are 467 games in Game Pass.

[manic prawn]

What's wrong with 2042?

[dark sparrow]

It's.... Just not fun to play

[cinder veldt]

I’m friends with someone who always needs to top score to survive /j

[inland osprey]

The maps

[pine vessel]

I have Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play Pro

[native star]

2042 is good now but launch was awful

[pine vessel]

The game is just terrible, vehicles felt OP

[calm arrow]

Like Fallout 76, basically

[ripe temple]

fight me

[dark sparrow]

I just can't enjoy the game, guns feel like peashooters

[inland osprey]

The maps in 2042 are the worst decision in gaming history

i would break you into four

MW2022 campaign was good but I didn't like multiplayer

[manic prawn]

Never played bf1 before

[dark sparrow]

... i can't?

BF1 is a gritty movie it’s great

[pine vessel]

BF4, it's the superior game

[pine vessel]

Oh sorry my bad

I don't really play multiplayer FPS, I'm terrible at them lol

[native star]

🤨

[calm arrow]

my xbox only has 3 games on it
fallout 4
battlefield 2042
tetris effect connecred

only thing I really like about Battlefield 2042 is the cross platform play. Makes it that one should always find a game otherwise I bet it would be dead on the platform I play on lol

[limber carbon]

For a second I thought it was Kylie posting TikToks

[gray latch]

not funny or cool

[tender prairie]

quick question: how do i clean the "vents" on the xbox controller? without dissassembly of course

[limpid flicker]

Controller has vents?

[pine vessel]

Use a toothpick or compressed air

[limber carbon]

🤦

[tender prairie]

like, the space between the case

[near tiger]

i didnt know xbox controllers have vents

[pine vessel]

I think they mean like the controller seams

[tender prairie]

what why im using the ""

[pine vessel]

Like the little gap between the assembly

[near tiger]

compressed air is your best option and a q-tip

[limpid flicker]

OK I get you now. I would use a small stiff brush.

[pine vessel]

Dirt builds up in them pretty easily lol

[pine vessel]

Toothpick would also work, gets in the gaps and pushes out the dirt

[tender prairie]

yeah, also i wanna clean it cause i got a white controller 💀

[limpid flicker]

I find it is useful for all kind of cleaning jobs to have a selection of stiff brushes. Keyboard cleaning, fan cleaning...

[pine vessel]

I tend to use compressed air for anything that has dust/dirt build-up

[limpid flicker]

It can get expensive and doesn't reach all areas.

[pine vessel]

But if it's like thick dirt build-up that won't be blown away I'll use something pointy if it's not a delicate part

[unique wasp]

I use my finger

[pine vessel]

Finger can't get in tight spots tho

[mellow roost]

Qib is an ant confirmed?

[unique wasp]

Little finger can

[pine vessel]

I mean like the little gaps in an Xbox controller

[limpid flicker]

I wouldn't trust Littlefinger to clean my controller. Or for anything else.

[tender prairie]

would a knife tip work good?

[limpid flicker]

Danger of damage.

[pine vessel]

Uhhhh, probably, wouldn't advise tho, you may scratch up the controller or break something

[unique wasp]

I put my nail and get the gunk out of my controller

[pine vessel]

Ew lol

[tender prairie]

i dont have long nails lmao

[unique wasp]

It works

[pine vessel]

I just use a paper clip or a toothpick for small spots

[raven cove]

What about q-tips?

[unique wasp]

Q tips wont fit in the little gap

[pine vessel]

Those will work too, probably a better option too as less likely to scratch

[tacit robin]

I really dont want to know what you lot do with your controllers to get them that dirty

[unique wasp]

I put my hands on them

[tender prairie]

white controller

[pine vessel]

Slightly damp q-tip? Although not too wet as may damage controller

[raven cove]

Rubbing alcohol?

[halcyon stratus]

Y’all need to wash your hands or wear gloves or something lmao

[pine vessel]

Probably, might work

[tender prairie]

or use a silicone protector

[unique wasp]

Do you clean your hands with alcohol before using your xbox controller?

[halcyon stratus]

Rubbing alcohol is good at removing glossy finishes or special effects paint like goes on some limited edition controllers. Also good at@melting rubber.

[tender prairie]

do you have hands?

[unique wasp]

Yeh i have both still

[fathom sparrow]

what do u use to breed sheep in minecraft

[pine vessel]

I have 8 hands 😈

[tacit robin]

i dont touch my controller with dirty or sticky hands and If i eaten something i wash my hands before touching the controller. Surely that's just normal

[dark sparrow]

Wheat

[halcyon stratus]

Disturbingly not

[unique wasp]

Controllers get gross eventually even without being sticky or dirty

[calm arrow]

yikes this game (bf 2042) looks terrible

[tender prairie]

i usually clean stuff with cotton disks, qtips, alcohol (sometimes a really alcoholic drink like vodka [only on places that are not even electronic, also on really low concentration]) and in the most extreme cases, a dull knife

[halcyon stratus]

Vodka is not an approved electronics cleaning solution lmao

[raven cove]

There is isopropyl alcohol pads that are good

[tender prairie]

i just use cotton disks that are for makeup and stuff

[astral saffron]

I lick all my controllers clean

[raven cove]

what

[unique wasp]

Gross, imagine all the nasty stuff on it

[astral saffron]

Strengthens the immune system too

If I have two accounts, x and y, let's say x buys a game, can account y play it too? They're on the same account

[tender prairie]

whar?

[tender prairie]

do you mean console?

[azure peak]

^ yes my bad
I have a main and second account, I buy a game with main, can my second play the same game, on the same console

[tender prairie]

yes

[raven cove]

I think if main is the home Xbox account

[tender prairie]

even gamepass

[azure peak]

Oh

Like just xbox games or the whole perks like online

[tender prairie]

yes, all perks*

[azure peak]

Oh

[raven cove]

if it's ultimate perks on the main, u don't get it on the second I'm pretty sure

[azure peak]

How do u select a "main" account

Cause how could xbox identify which account is my main

[tender prairie]

i dont think that happens

it just shares the contents of both accounts

[azure peak]

Could u answer my question in the xbox game pass channel please

[mellow roost]

This is the coolest thing I've done in Fortnite and it's all because of the Ghost Rider gear. This looked so awesome.

[raven cove]

Nice

[astral saffron]

That looked pretty badass

[tender prairie]

imagine you have 2 accounts, the "x" account and the "y" account; the "x" account haves game "alpha" and the "y" account haves game "beta"; if the accounts are on the same console, "x" can access "beta" and "y" can access "alpha"

[tender prairie]

bruh

Yes, but one answer out of every 6 will permanently brick your devices

unless you play on nightmare difficulty solo

then it has a slight challenge

[tender prairie]

play doom 3 lmao

What Dark said is pretty spot on.

As long as you keep up with the power curve (which is not difficult at all), you're gunna be one-shotting almost anything outside of serious threats.

Fyi it might not be $2 for everyone

[queen lotus]

steam discounts for the game already in your library.

[cinder veldt]

Great feature tbh

[frozen lily]

Hm

[cinder veldt]

Valve complete pack? More like gmod assets pack

[trail harness]

its still worth that price though

[obsidian kayak]

Ohh

[trail harness]

Exactly what I bought it for lol

[obsidian kayak]

I guess I just have a lot of the games 😂

[trail harness]

6.49 is what you'd pay if you had none of them, so yeah... good deal

Steam doesn't show bundle price in that search drop down

[obsidian kayak]

Could I gift it to someone for the sale price I have?

[trail harness]

not AFAIK

[tired hare]

Who wants to take a lesson class with me of how to brew a flying nuke on wacky wizard

[trail harness]

even if you only need one of the games in the bundle its still cheaper than buying that game separately

[astral saffron]

I thought you no longer needed the other games for Gmod?

[manic prawn]

Is persona good?

[obsidian kayak]

Also when you buy a bundle on steam that has content u already have don’t u get the extras as gifts? @trail harness

[trail harness]

You dont need them to play GMod, but you can mount their assets into GMod and use them to build

[trail harness]

No you don't. You only pay for what you don't have though.

[cinder veldt]

It was never needed, but I know a lot of maps or mods can use assets from there

[trail harness]

and you still get a discount on top of it for doing the bundle

[astral saffron]

That's how it used to be, but I thought more recently they changed it so you could mount without them needing to be owned.

[cinder veldt]

Oh like that, maybe. Haven’t looked

[trail harness]

That involves... Rule 12 stuff

[trail harness]

Yes. People do seem to think so.

[cinder veldt]

I think Albzi means they maybe added so you just get the assets download as an update or something, but idk if it’s correct. Haven’t looked

[trail harness]

No you need to own and install the games to mount them

[narrow mountain]

Hello

[manic prawn]

Do I have to play the first one?

[trail harness]

Every Persona is a separate story line so no

[obsidian kayak]

I was thinking about playing re do you guys think I should start with 1?

[narrow mountain]

what’s that

[obsidian kayak]

Resident evil

[narrow mountain]

idk what that is

[astral saffron]

Yep this is all I meant.

[obsidian kayak]

Do you live in a cave?

[narrow mountain]

it’s more or less a basement

also jk i know what re is

[obsidian kayak]

lol

[trail harness]

its also known as Biohazard in Japan

[manic prawn]

Never played re4

[mellow roost]

Resident Evil: Biohazard is known as Biohazard: Resident Evil in Japan as well, which is kinda funny.

[manic prawn]

Cool

[mellow roost]

I didn't even realize Resident Evil 7 had the biohazard tagline on it.

[inner arrow]

It was known for the name Biohazard for so long in japan. Until they did the Resident Evil subtitle and now I think they are dropping the Biohazard title all together

[flint lily]

I thought it'd be like that in ɐᴉlɐɹʇsnɐ

[trail harness]

Im not so sure about that

[inner arrow]

Last I heard is they needed the subtitle for the VII and VIII in the title

[trail harness]

maybe from game titles, but they're definitely still referring to the series by Biohazard

[inner arrow]

They have to. Can’t just drop a name like that

[verbal swan]

How do I know if my controller is charging

It only vibrated

[inner arrow]

Like charging towards something or like battery charging?

[verbal swan]

What

[mellow roost]

Either get a dock with a compatible battery pack, or using rechargeable batteries with a wall charger or something.

[verbal swan]

So how I charge it

[astral saffron]

It'll have a little battery with a lightning symbol in the top right when you press the xbox button

[inner arrow]

Changing the batteries

[verbal swan]

Ong I have to buy new batteries??

[mellow roost]

Wtf why did that edit my message?

[trail harness]

Unless its an Elite Series 2 or something. That has rechargeable battery built in

[trail harness]

did you do s/something/something ?

if you start a message with that it edits

[inner arrow]

I mean… did you insert batteries into your controller when you got it? If so then yeah buy new ones… that’s how batteries work

[mellow roost]

I'm not sure if that's what I did, but I didn't even click that message I just kept typing and whatever I had before is gone.

[verbal swan]

I plugged my samsung charger

[inner arrow]

What?

[mellow roost]

Just buy these and never worry about batteries again.
https://a.co/d/gKlfI58

It's what I use. Haven't bought batteries in like 3-4 years.

[flint lily]

also the liquid from these is refreshing

[verbal swan]

man I sorry I just bought a xbox idk how stuff works

So I buy new battery

[flint lily]

battery liquid

[verbal swan]

intresting

[cinder veldt]

Yeah, unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be a feature. Could also be my lazy google

[flint lily]

no dr I'm totally sane

[trail harness]

That's a bad way to replenish your electrolytes

[flint lily]

efficient and cheap

[astral saffron]

Ah damn that really sucks, I really thought I'd heard of that. Ah well, at least the valve pack is cheap.

[trail harness]

Yeah no, GMod doesn't just download other game assets because that would not be legal

[mellow roost]

If you don't need the quick charger, the standard long charger version is $10 cheaper.
https://a.co/d/feUuLgN

[inner arrow]

Kylie. I did 2 level ups when you left in Fortnite. Those Fast xp levels are a godsend. Should have saved those vbucks haha

[shut plaza]

my dog’s barking at forza motorsport 4 lol

[cinder veldt]

Yeah valve pack is a great buy outside of gmod

[verbal swan]

so I need to buy batteries and I cant charge the controller with USB ?

[astral saffron]

Yeah I understand that. I just thought I remembered Garry saying somewhere that it was now a feature. Could have even just been an April fools lol

[mellow roost]

Yes.

You can either:

1. Plug the controller in and keep it powered by the cable.

2. Use the play and charge kit, buy new batteries every day, or buy rechargeable batteries if you want it to be wireless.

[verbal swan]

ok thx

[inner arrow]

Or better. Reload that controller like a shotgun

[placid osprey]

take the AAs out the tv remote lol

[trail harness]

lol imagine a controller that opened up like a break action for the batteries

[cinder veldt]

I think there was a similar feature invented to let you have less missing textures with workshop content

[inner arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/gun-db-shotgun-gif-21597283

[placid osprey]

they need to make a attachment so you can do that

[astral saffron]

Oh maybe that's what I was thinking of

[flint lily]

the year is 1887 and I have a shotgun

[mellow roost]

That's what I did for my 360 controllers.

Pop the battery cover, dump out the shells, put new ones in, game. 😂

[placid osprey]

i need to try break action my controllers

[trail harness]

I had rechargeable packs on my 360 controllers

[inner arrow]

One of my favorite funny scenes from the wolfenstein games : https://youtu.be/si1P4D0eTbM

[cinder veldt]

I either run mine wired or the battery pack if it’s a guitar or I’m in the basement

[flint lily]

https://tenor.com/view/atf2-gif-19111110

[limpid flicker]

I personally wish they would make a PS controller with AAs.

[queen stump]

This is exactly what we like to see.

[inner arrow]

Damn now I wanna replay those…

[inner arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/download-resources-at-the-client-download-compuserve-compuservice-junction-gif-18626366

[placid osprey]

"oh no i just ran out of batterys!" flings batterys out

[inner arrow]

Bad cgi winning again eh?

[queen stump]

I gotta watch this, my man! You're seriously missing out.

[queen stump]

Far from bad, especially the final episode.

[inner arrow]

I feel the way people overhyped it and then the first episode had worse cgi since Berserk makes me want to just… not

I read the manga so I am good.

[manic prawn]

Never watched it

[queen stump]

That first episode was complete dogwater, but the rest is literally insane CG and 2D animation.

The cinematography is a highlight!

[inner arrow]

I saw some cgi from a fight on the street and it looked as horrible as the one from the first episode

[cinder veldt]

That would be something, something that lasts a bit

[queen stump]

....which street fight scene?

[inner arrow]

I dunno which but it looked subpar.

[queen stump]

[inner arrow]

I like everything about it besides the cgi. It just throws me out. I am all in for hyped fighting sequences but when the fighting is mostly cgi I am just… I just can’t feel any hype for it

[queen stump]

But the final episooode!

[inner arrow]

It’s like you are watching a movie which is supposed to have this hype action and then suddenly they stop animating the cgi and just do doodles of the fights. That’s how it felt. Literally that one scene from evangelion rebuild

[queen stump]

Evangelion CG was ehh, I wasn't too keen nor was I bothered by it.

[inner arrow]

Gundam out of all shows… has drawn mechs. The thing that gets away with cgi mechs has actually drawn ones cause quality matters

[queen stump]

Yeah, but this actually decent CG usage.

[inner arrow]

There are some animes that get cgi right but man… Chainsaw man is just terrible with it

[queen stump]

I genuinely could not tell, whether it was CG or 2D, until I went back to look at it properly.

[tired hare]

yo is there a toggle somewhere that allows clips to record what i say instead of just what everyone else is saying

[inner arrow]

And I see it instantly unfortunately

For me it sticks out like a sour thumb. I dunno why I am like this and I wish I could ignore it but I just can’t

[limpid flicker]

Imma have to buy a second one eventually. If I plan to get deep into a game on the weekend, I literally don't get enough charge.

[calm arrow]

brooo battlefield 4 campaign is tight

[cinder veldt]

Unfortunately not, it shouldn’t even be able to record other people either

[limpid flicker]

For XBOX I have wired controllers and AAs, all the options i need.

[queen stump]

I mean, I get that. I'm like that, too. But man, those fight scene choreography.

[astral saffron]

I wish there was an option we could toggle though. So many times I've wanted to record things that have been said in party or in-game for the fun

[tired hare]

it does in hell let loose but rip

[cinder veldt]

My PS4 controller has meh battery time, but I have to use it wired to avoid the fake stick drift

[limpid flicker]

Potion Craft: Anyone playing it and can comment on if they consider it doable with a controller?
I've heard mixed things.

[inner arrow]

I will eventually get to it. Rn just too much to watch. Jojo is priority rn because of my fiancee

[limpid flicker]

Jojo is good, I'm on Part 5 at the moment.

[upper meteor]

Wanna know what else is good

[limpid flicker]

Gears of War, right?

[inner arrow]

I am at Part3-2

[upper meteor]

Halo

[inner arrow]

Egypt part is so much better. First half was a bit of a drag imo

[upper meteor]

Hi at Part3-2, I'm Icky Spartan

[limpid flicker]

I wouldn't say a drag, but maybe it could stand some cuts.

[inner arrow]

Yeah definitely. Some episodes felt like filler

[queen stump]

While you're at it, watch that new Gundam show, too. It's pretty killer in animation and story.

[chilly stirrup]

Waits there's new Gundam? Where?

[inner arrow]

Yeah also on my list haha. Bocchi is supposedly the best show rn according to votings.

[inner arrow]

Witch of Mercury is the name. It’s really really good

[chilly stirrup]

Netflix??

[inner arrow]

Ha. As if Netflix would actually license some actually meaningful new animes

[queen stump]

I use Crunchyroll.

[queen stump]

Hathaway.

[chilly stirrup]

I mean they got blood of orphans and it was pretty good tho

[inner arrow]

Btw… Bleach is still not available on German Disney Plus and the fans are going insane on instagram

[inner arrow]

That was a movie and honestly? They probably only did it cause covid

[queen stump]

Oh, that one also got reviewed.

[inner arrow]

Iron blood orphans is pretty old tho

[queen stump]

Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

[inner arrow]

Oh okay. Cyberpunk counts

[chilly stirrup]

Oh Jesus, I didn't realized that it was from 2015. I feel old now 😭

[inner arrow]

Spriggan was not the hit they wanted it to be even tho it had huge potential

[queen stump]

Would you also count Arcane?

[queen stump]

Duuuude, Spriggan was soooo good!

[inner arrow]

Not really. Castlevania I don’t count as well. Lookism neither

[chilly stirrup]

Are they making another season of spriggan? I would be more interested in that ngl

[inner arrow]

I liked Spriggan but it got buried instantly

[queen stump]

Not too sure, I hope so.

[queen stump]

Wait, what?

[chilly stirrup]

Lookism is based on web novel on webtoon so I'm kind of iffy on calling it "anime"

[inner arrow]

Wasn’t in the top 10 here in germany… and Germany always has the newest animes in the top 10. Dunno about other countries tho

[queen stump]

[inner arrow]

Tiger and Bunny made it into the top 10. Even way of the househusband. Spriggan did not

[chilly stirrup]

Webtoon's Lookism though, I'd do recommend reading it. It's pretty good.

[queen stump]

Record of Ragnarok? That one is getting a second season. Uncle from Another World? Komi Can't Communicate? There's so many, lol.

[inner arrow]

Record of Ragnarok is okay. I like it but it’s not what I would call a heavy hitter. Komi is good choice that one was relevant and big. Uncle? Got their newest episode delayed till mid january… it will never get completed lol

[queen stump]

I liked that show, too.

[inner arrow]

By the time it finished most people will probably already forgot that it existed. Too many episodes got delayed for far too long.

[queen stump]

Was this one of the shows delayed due to Covid or something else?

[inner arrow]

Aggretsuko is what I am waiting for. New season pls

[queen stump]

[inner arrow]

Well… it was made by apprentices at that anime company. After that news there was a lot of bad pr

[queen stump]

Oh.

[inner arrow]

That reminds me. Househusband season 2 comes this sunday.

[queen stump]

Oh.

[uneven hedge]

Does anyone have a game suggestion I’m bored

[inner arrow]

Monster as well. Record of Ragnarok season 2 and vinland saga season 2 comes out here too in january. (vinland saga is such an odd one tho since here in germany Amazon has the exclusive rights for season 1)

[queen stump]

It's also on Netflix now, too.

[inner arrow]

Oh I know a heavy hitter (At least if it’s good)
Junji Ito.

[inner arrow]

Not in germany from what I know

[weary solar]

Hi

[queen stump]

[inner arrow]

By the way. All episodes of players (makers of american vandal) is free on youtube. It’s a show about a league of legends player in a fictional esport team getting replaced by a new player

https://youtu.be/zCv4hO8AFH4

[queen stump]

[inner arrow]

Highly recommend it. It’s really good

[tribal spear]

Leonardos the leader in blue does anything it takes to get his ninjas through

Donatello is the fellow with a way with machines

Raphael has the most attitude on the team

Michelangelo, he’s one of a kind, and he knows how to find out where it’s party time

Master splinter taught them every single skill they need to be one lean green incredible team !

Sorry I just had to get that off of my chest 🤧

[dusty prism]

i have name changed and account that had no letters is there any way to get it back to no numbers

numbers it has numbers now

[cinder veldt]

Pick a GT that’s unique

[mellow roost]

Make your name something unique and it won't have numbers.

[dusty prism]

can iget it back tho

[mellow roost]

If someone hasn't taken it yet, sure.

[dusty prism]

someone has

[mellow roost]

Then no.

[tribal spear]

Then no

[dusty prism]

i still have two no numbers rip my other one tho

[cinder veldt]

Two? Rookie numbers /j

[tribal spear]

You could change one of the letters to a number like an E to 3 or an S to a 5

[dusty prism]

ik i only have 3 ac

[trail harness]

Why multiple accounts? That sounds sus ngl.

[dusty prism]

idk

[cinder veldt]

I have a reason for my multiples, idk theirs tho

[tribal spear]

Bro your bio is FAXX

[trail harness]

its a timestamp so it auto updates

[upper meteor]

Did you see mine

[calm arrow]

Honestly, I never expected Tetris to be a fun online game. TEC Classic Score Attack is heat

[tribal spear]

Nice lol

Your pfp, Joker he’s from the persona game series right ?

[trail harness]

Persona 5, yes

[hazy linden]

hey guys, i opened the xbox app on my pc, how do i enter a code for my one month game pass

[tribal spear]

I have a friend who had him as their pfp lol

[calm arrow]

should i give it a go? is it fun

[trail harness]

Yes its a great game

[quasi oyster]

Masterpiece. I completed it and im still enticed to go even after 90 hours

[tribal spear]

Never played it myself but I’ll keep that in mind if I’m ever looking for a game to play
