[gray latch]

welcome!

[merry palm]

Wolves are much bigger than a typical dog. But IDK about that particular pic.

[merry palm]

People do have this odd idea that they are just like huskies in size

[molten briar]

https://tenor.com/view/wolf-love-big-gif-15298907

[limpid flicker]

Well, if you never saw one, especially not near a regular dog or person…

[keen kiln]

anyone got suggestions for a game I should get?

[gray latch]

those aren't even all huskies

[limpid flicker]

Today I learned, I guess.

[dark sparrow]

I've seen my fair share of wolves, and they can get quite big, depending on the species.

[mellow roost]

I'd wager a lot of the above are from angles, but wolves really can get pretty grande.

[merry palm]

They are bigger but like.. there are size options bc not all dogs/wolf types are the same

[twin fractal]

They're so majestic

[merry palm]

A lot of people try to lie and say their huskies are wolf hybrids... Which no

Don't do that

[limpid flicker]

I would not say I’m scared of huge dogs but they do make me cautious.

[merry palm]

Same.

[dark sparrow]

Here's a comparison of the average human male to some

[twin fractal]

What type of game ;o?

[mellow roost]

Damn. Real dire wolves are pretty small then I guess.

D&D made me think they were bigger. 💀

[merry palm]

Lol

[mellow roost]

Basically the size of a coyote at that point.

[limpid flicker]

If that’s an average male, I bet the biggest of those canids would get taller than my mum.

[dark sparrow]

Yeah, you definitely realize how small they are compared to other things when you see them together

[fiery python]

• sigh *

[twin fractal]

If you're searching for something more old school like, try Signalis :^

[merry palm]

There is a wolf sanctuary near me that I want to visit someday

[mellow roost]

Although the more I look at that picture, the more suspicious I get about the height of that human, because I've met some great danes in my day and they sure don't stop at my waist.

[merry palm]

Great Danes make me feel all my shortness

[keen kiln]

any tbh

except platformers lol

[desert sonnet]

Great Danes are too intrusive. I feel like they wanna know everything about me immediately

[dark sparrow]

They protecc

[merry palm]

They want to be lap dogs

[twin fractal]

It can be also find on gamepass

[mellow roost]

Maybe my cousin's great dane was just mega wumbo or something, I don't know.

[dark sparrow]

Not all dogs are alike, and size varies

[mellow roost]

True, true.

[dark sparrow]

My dog reaches to like my upper leg, but he just be so chonk.

But remember kids, if you see a wolf in the wild...
I hope you are able to get away or defend yourself.

[limpid flicker]

Dog personalities vary so much… I’m not much a dog person myself, so when I encounter one I’m often surprised by how different from the last they can be.

[merry palm]

Wolves don't come near people much

If they can hear you, they go away

[desert sonnet]

Really? I don't find much variation in personalities with dogs. I find much more variation with cats

[fallen nebula]

Attack

Hug

[dark sparrow]

People's pets really seem to like me for some reason, idk why.

[limpid flicker]

My friend has been dating this one person for a while, I never have known any other dog who wanted to cuddle constantly.

[desert sonnet]

For me it's always friendly dog, angry dog, playful dog, and protective dog. Idk about other personalities 😅

[merry palm]

Cats make me somewhat uncomfortable. dogs are a bit more inviting for me

Preferences ig

[fiery python]

You forgot lazy dog and dumb dog.

[dark sparrow]

My dog tbh, but i love him.

[fallen nebula]

These hands were made to give pets

[limpid flicker]

I’ve known cuddly cats many times, but not dogs before.

[dark sparrow]

How am I supposed to get mad at this?

[limpid flicker]

And since this dog is on the larger side, it’s a little challenging. She can easily knock me over with love.

[fiery python]

My old dog was very cuddly. Especially if you had a blanket. She would want to be under it with you.

Any time I sat on the sofa she would wait for me to put up the recliner, so she could jump up and sit between my legs.

[dark sparrow]

Love bomb

[merry palm]

I like dogs bc you can take them on walks easier.

Dog walks are just nice

[mellow roost]

I prefer cats because they're lazy and self-sufficient.

[merry palm]

Fair

I'd forget they exist probably lol

Not a great thing with pets

[dark sparrow]

They run your house, you just live with them

[mellow roost]

I mean you sometimes do, honestly. They're very quiet and...introverted.

[fiery python]

I would like to have a dog again, but we're not allowed one here. Also it would be awkward when we go back up to Manchester to visit my family or want to go away on holiday.

[mellow roost]

Like me, basically. If I was in your house you probably wouldn't even know unless I started making a racket in the kitchen or something.

[merry palm]

I don't want anything more than the fish I keep at work, rn

I can barely keep track of myself lol

[fiery python]

Also, as nice as it is to take them for walks, in the UK with all the rain and cold we get, that often sucks and you don't get a choice. I'd also have to do it a lot more often here as we're on an upper floor, so no garden to let it out into. I'd have to take it downstairs.

[merry palm]

Being forced to go outside it a positive for me
Something something mental health

But that's for me

[desert sonnet]

I love my cat. He tries to act cool and like he doesn't need attention but then he would do a complete 180 and flop right in front of me asking for pets

[fiery python]

A cat would be easier for us to have in general, but when we need to go away it would be a pain as there's nowhere to leave it other than messing around finding a kennel place.

[desert sonnet]

Yea or a cat sitter and personally, I'd wanna install cameras everywhere to make sure my cat is treated okay

[merry palm]

Yeah I think it's just easier for me to not have a pet that's only mine lol

I'll just live vicariously through other people

[fiery python]

This little dude is fine for us right now.

[molten briar]

so much cat zoomies this morning

[merry palm]

Siphon off the excess energy for yourself /j

[mellow roost]

I didn't know you had a rat! I love rats.

[rapid agate]

Xbox update huh

Ain't seen this screen in 2 years

[mellow roost]

What do you mean?

[languid frost]

think it must have been an more urgent update

usually it just waits until you turn off i think

[mellow roost]

Ah, yeah, I guess that would make sense. I have mine set to manual update.

[hoary imp]

hey guys

im new

[desert sonnet]

Ooo Redfall is gonna have more playable characters in future DLC

[gray latch]

welcome!

[hoary imp]

i have a question

can sombody text lkjhgt and tell him im suspended from communiations

[merry palm]

.... No

[hoary imp]

ok no problem

[summer magnet]

He's a hamster lol

[oblique coyote]

That's one big hamster. 😄

[gray latch]

I thought it was a rat too

I've never seen a pied hamster before!

[merry palm]

Hamsters are so cute

[desert sonnet]

A pied hamster?

[summer magnet]

He's a Syrian Hamster

Called Remy 😄

[fiery python]

I was pretty close up with the camera and it was the front facing one so perspective is a bit skewed. He wouldn't sit still long enough to take a pic.

[limpid flicker]

Not a pedigree siberian hamster?

[desert sonnet]

Oooo okay pied hamsters are a thing heh 😅

[fiery python]

He's a Syrian hamster.

[hoary imp]

does anyone have rocket leauge

[limpid flicker]

(Fawlty Towers reference)

[gray latch]

pied refers to that kind of color pattern

[merry palm]

Asking bc you want to play with someone or bc you have a question?

[desert sonnet]

Does Remy ever cook for you 2?

[summer magnet]

sadly no lol

[hoary imp]

i wanna play

[gray latch]

Fawlty Towers was so good

[weary solar]

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

[fiery python]

Well, he cooked a couple of things on my tshirt but I'm not eating them.

[gray latch]

Flay Otters

[summer magnet]

Fawlty Towers was amazing

[gray latch]

Farty Towels

[fiery python]

I think he enjoyed the run around outside because he’s climbing the bars now. 😄

[gray latch]

https://tenor.com/view/fawlty-towers-fawltytowers-manuel-que-gif-9682982

[limpid flicker]

They only made a tiny amount but it kept the quality high.

[summer magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/hahaha-gif-18595385

[gray latch]

Manuel was the best

[summer magnet]

Yeah he was

[limpid flicker]

Did you all know that Basil was based on a real hotel owner they encountered on their travels?

[gray latch]

haha I didn't

[merry palm]

I don't know what or who that is. Should it go on my list?

[gray latch]

yeah

I have the DVD set, we can watch them if you like :)

[merry palm]

My show watching backlog is as bad as my gaming one

[limpid flicker]

Maybe? It's about an angry and incompetent hotel owner named Basil Fawlty, his long-suffering wife, Sybil and the hotel they run, Fawlty Towers.

[merry palm]

We gotta watch something. IDC what lol

[gray latch]

a very short series with no bad episodes

[fiery python]

They only ever made 12 episodes and they're short.

[limpid flicker]

The show also features their two staff members, Polly and Manuel, and a range of long-term guests.

[merry palm]

Only shows I'm conversant in are children's shows lol

Short series, nice.

Some of these long ones will never get watched by me bc..yeah no lol

[limpid flicker]

Basil is barely functional as a human, due to his severe rage, misanthropy and other flaws.

[merry palm]

This is a bit of a mood.. also same minus the misanthrope part

[trail harness]

Top 19% pog

[limpid flicker]

He can be said to try, but he usually succumbs to emotion when things go badly wrong.

[merry palm]

Pogs?

[dark sparrow]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_y9MpNcAitQ

[merry palm]

This will always be my response

[fiery python]

https://cdn.firstwefeast.com/assets/2016/01/pog2.gif

[limpid flicker]

I'm now wondering if Tes actually doesn't know how 'the kids these days' use "pog".

[merry palm]

I was good at that game

[cinder veldt]

Hide your parents 💀

[merry palm]

I do. But I think it's funny to bring up Pogs

[gloomy quiver]

Hi

[merry palm]

Gotta remind people that I'm actually old

[cinder veldt]

I probably am one sol refers to

[summer magnet]

https://www.itv.com/news/2023-03-22/heinz-partners-with-absolut-to-create-pasta-alla-vodka-sauce

[merry palm]

Might not be horrible?

[limpid flicker]

You are the kid these days? Well, you and Icky at least... and Mina.

[cinder veldt]

That’s what I would imagine?

[dark sparrow]

Swag is what, a Sophomore?

[limpid flicker]

Honestly you fool me into thinking you are older, Swag.

[cinder veldt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cinder veldt]

Guess that’s a good thing in a way

[merry palm]

Maybe

[limpid flicker]

It's partly that you're into retro games.

[merry palm]

https://tenor.com/view/children-childhood-peter-pan-grow-up-gif-5691713

[limpid flicker]

Or at least, games that are older than one whole generation removed from now.

[cinder veldt]

Games older than me😅

[long maple]

hey all

I got rained on while going to the shop, I am still sweating

[limpid flicker]

For every generation of young folks, there are more games older than they are. Not sure if this is deep.

[cinder veldt]

I get what you mean

[limpid flicker]

I think at some point, being into retro games is like saying, "Yes. I would like more choice than the current trends."

Because let me tell ya... there are some aspects of the game industry which have just faded over time.

I feel like there are less 'WTF?' games now than there were.

Or maybe that the WTF? games are relegated to the depths of Steam now, and not on store shelves.

[cinder veldt]

I think there was some more experimental games then

[long maple]

this started 20mins ago if anyone interested :- https://youtu.be/teTroOAGZjM

[swift thistle]

oh most certainly hidden on steam

[dark sparrow]

Looks like valve is gearing up for CSGO 2, new vids on their channel.

[long maple]

isnt Creative 2.0 coming out on Fortnite today

[swift thistle]

valve doing anything besides afk farming money on steam
shocker

[limpid flicker]

Like. In the early 00s I played a game where you are a mosquito, and have to drink blood in sufficient quantities to survive. I realise now that this misunderstands mosquito biology, but regardless.
I played a game where your goal is to befriend and kiss the inhabitants of a small town, one by one.

[cinder veldt]

sometimes I wonder what minecraft is downloading like everytime I try to start not even the latest version

[dark sparrow]

True, but a lot of ppl have been fear-mongering for a while now saying that it won't let you keep your skins.

[limpid flicker]

Because of the lesser volume of releases, these games were relatively centered in the public eye of the enthusiast scene, in those days.

[swift thistle]

Valve won't risk messing up that market.
they'd be insane

[dark sparrow]

Yeah, but i guess some ppl are using the mysteriousness of the update to basically make money from manipulation

[pulsar flare]

omg they finally fixed reports on post requests

[mellow roost]

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

[swift thistle]

misread your message

[limpid flicker]

I love Steam, but sometimes I sure do wish that Valve had stayed a game developer, and could count to three.

[dark sparrow]

Steam became a cash cow

[mellow roost]

Would it have killed them to...just...draw a tankard on the character model?

It's literally a giant tankard with eye and mouth holes to be used as a helmet. Why does it look like that on the character model?

[swift thistle]

don't blame em

[limpid flicker]

It was always going to, once they attracted more than a couple of games outside their own offerings.

[dark sparrow]

Steam was a bit revolutionary tbh

[long maple]

Unreal Engine 5.2 looks great

[limpid flicker]

Hence why I say I love it. It was, but at what cost?

[swift thistle]

L4d3

[dark sparrow]

The destruction of first party valve games

[limpid flicker]

"The Steam client carries a terrible curse."
"Oooh, that's bad!"
"But it comes with a free frogurt!"

[swift thistle]

frogurt?

[limpid flicker]

It's a Simpsons bit I'm referencing.

[swift thistle]

oh

[desert sonnet]

I wish they came out with Team Fortress 3 already

[long maple]

Trippy you missing the GDC for Unreal.

[desert sonnet]

Oh crap!

[limpid flicker]

Frogurt being 'frozen yoghurt' if that's the source of the confusion.

I'm at work but I just put it on my phone. Thanks Paul

[long maple]

yeah some great stuff in here.

[swift thistle]

Netflix
oh nonono

[limpid flicker]

It's a movie, at least it doesn't have seasons for them to cancel it after one of.

[swift thistle]

oh you're right

[mellow roost]

I'm disappointed Fenix isn't Bautista.

[swift thistle]

Ill reserve Judgement (Don't)

[night rapids]

Yet...

[mellow roost]

Well here's hoping for sure.

[limpid flicker]

I mean, I'm not hugely fond of Netflix for... you know, various reasons... but movies are harder for them to mess up in the usual way.

[kind heron]

Could be good. The Witcher was done right

[swift thistle]

Could be. i have 0 faith in netflix

[dark sparrow]

Let's hope this isn't a flop.

[swift thistle]

the only company i have any faith in is amazon prime making Fallout

[split gale]

Xbox series S coming today yesssaaaa

[kind heron]

Amazon’s made some good shows for sure, and the set photos look good

[limpid flicker]

Is that due entirely to how they cancel shows? Or is it also due to certain choices of who they want to promote?

[desert sonnet]

This is the presentation where they show Stalker 2 right Paul?

[long maple]

not sure I can check. this is mostly Epic on this stream. cause Creative 2.0 dropped today

[desert sonnet]

Ooo

[long maple]

Fortnite that is. lol

[swift thistle]

Both

[desert sonnet]

Well.. darn

[long maple]

did you see the car demo yet driving through the jungle?

and I just found Stalker 2, thats tomorrow

[swift thistle]

Both

[desert sonnet]

I missed it! Work got busy for a bit

[long maple]

wow Project M

[desert sonnet]

Yea looks great

[long maple]

oh yeah metahuman I remember this

[desert sonnet]

I didn't even know that was a thing

[night rapids]

What event are you watching?

[long maple]

Epic State of Unreal. thats part of GDC

[night rapids]

Nice. I'll check it out once I'm home

[long maple]

Ninja Theory are on the stage now. talking about Hellblade 2

[desert sonnet]

I wanna have my face molded by this meta human thibg

[delicate pulsar]

Where about?

[long maple]

https://youtu.be/teTroOAGZjM

more tech talking than showing anything

[desert sonnet]

Metahuman available in a few months for everyone woo

Alright taking a break from this part 😏

[long maple]

lol

Unreal Editor for Fortnite section you mean?

[desert sonnet]

Don't call me out like that Paul! 😆

[long maple]

its good if you like building own worlds and stuff

I think thats what this is anyway. you can make own modes and stuff

[desert sonnet]

Sounds cool

[trail harness]

imagine Fortnite VR

[long maple]

definitely good how tech is moving and making things easier to build games in certain situations anyway

[wintry root]

https://youtu.be/K1qG8pREfkA

This looks incredible!

That robot fight looked cool but the dance at the end made me groan

Hi this is my new discord account

i forgot the password to my other one

[tired hare]

MY FRIEND JUST BOUGHT ME MY FIRST XBOX GAME (dying light) I HAD MY XBOX FOR 4 YEARS

[kind heron]

Why did you have an Xbox for 4 years but not have anh games?

[tired hare]

I just never asked for any i did have free game tho

[trim remnant]

I finally have the hoonicorn in forza horizon 5

[kind heron]

K

[tired hare]

Nice

[trim remnant]

rip ken block (he owned the hoonicorn)

[tired hare]

Is forza 5 fun

[trim remnant]

yes

you get the hoonicorn for free tho

[warped pendant]

mind VX-ing that so it embeds properly (and at a better quality)

just ad "vx" before "twitter" in the url

fixes embeds and increases video and audio bitrate

[warped pendant]

[candid mist]

Hey , is there a big difference between Xbox one and series S in forza 5 ?

[warped pendant]

ones with multiple images that won't embed it'll merge them into a single image as well

[cinder veldt]

yeah, graphical but also 60 fps

[limpid flicker]

Nice tip. I like that.

[cinder veldt]

and not to forget the much faster loading time

Hmm okay thanks

[cinder veldt]

oh I see that looks good dark, and operagx do be having good ideas rn

[long maple]

been a good day for gaming news

[limpid flicker]

On desktop, both images embed regardless, but on mobile (I checked) it is the only way to see the second image.

So, that's cool.

[warped pendant]

yes. they don't always embed though

[cinder veldt]

does this work for that one rabbids gif 😛 /j

[warped pendant]

it's more common to see in the art space

due to more adult nature of some artists

[cinder veldt]

fair

[warped pendant]

twitter will block those embeds entirely, vx fixes those embeds.

[long maple]

oh new feature comes to a subset of people today.. the new UI for Search on Console, cant remember if its an update or just restart needed

[timid patio]

does someone know how to get the items from xbox series S cause is it just some code or do you just log into it and you get it?

[cinder veldt]

go to your game library and down to manage, should be a digital goods button there

[regal shell]

If it's included with your console, it will be in my games & apps

Manage -> Bottom section

[timid patio]

what if i buy it in something like ebay or amazon

[cinder veldt]

then you have to redeem it

[regal shell]

If someone already claimed stuff that came with the console, it's gone

[timid patio]

oh ok

[cinder veldt]

oh wait they meant that way, buying used

[timid patio]

well techinally probbaly a item which is just sold cheaper

i finnaly got water bottles

4th game in the series being named “2”

[cinder veldt]

omg the last point on the embed, moved beyond tick rate

[long maple]

yeah I like Benji does some great content

[cinder veldt]

I wonder how they will do the transfer process, if it will just be an update or a new title, I hope for the first

[kind heron]

It’s a replacement for GO so I’d think an update

[cinder veldt]

yeah that's what I'm thinking but also hoping

[plain parrot]

yea i couldnt tell if it was GO on source 2 or a new game entirely

[pseudo kernel]

It's an upgrade just like OW2

[pseudo kernel]

Moving shooting and throwing grenades will not be determined by ticks anymore from what they said

[cinder veldt]

yes, I figured, and that's what I like

[pseudo kernel]

Really liking how the smoke works and how a grenade can push it away

[cinder veldt]

valve, outdating your beloved lineups /s

[timid patio]

is it better to buy from the xbox website or just different place for xbox

[cinder veldt]

xbox website all day

[desert sonnet]

Yea looks cool https://youtu.be/_y9MpNcAitQ

[timid patio]

ok

[cinder veldt]

Doesn't risk your account, unless you mean like official places like best buy

[timid patio]

i just want to buy it cheaper but also still have the skins for fortnite, fall guys, rocket league

[cinder veldt]

Are you speaking about the series s bundle? yeah unlikely you will get the digital goods unless it's bought new from a store like best buy or microsoft

[swift thistle]

I can't wait to participate once again in the DS2 funtime farm-o-rama (Spoiler, its not fun)

[trim remnant]

what is the best racing game for xbox (gamepass only)

[kind heron]

Pretty subjective

[trim remnant]

[swift thistle]

Horse Racing Simulator

[trim remnant]

motor

[cinder veldt]

If only

[swift thistle]

Sorry never played it

[trim remnant]

it was made by ea sports

[merry palm]

^

[cinder veldt]

It doesn't seem like a sports title

[trim remnant]

when they had the license to nascar games

[long maple]

have a look.

[merry palm]

like.. we can google things for you buuuut, you also could. lol

i dont play racing games personally

[long maple]

yeah what I am saying is. most will be Dirt, Grid, F1, NFS

[merry palm]

i have to drive irl, i dont want to in a game too

[cinder veldt]

but in game you can do the stuff you can't do irl

[merry palm]

sometimes we are able to know right off the bat a game.. but rn is not that time

[fiery python]

Paper airplanes.

[kind heron]

Xbox.com may be a place to try

[trim remnant]

i can't play flight simulator

[merry palm]

no one ever likes racing with ryan as a suggestion

[cinder veldt]

amazon, uk stores that sell tech, game? if that's still a thing or just xbox official site

[long maple]

yeah Game is a thing

[limpid flicker]

My local branch of Game is mostly phones now. 😛

[timid patio]

just type c british retail store

would that be good

[cinder veldt]

not sure what that means buut I does it fit the list above?

[trim remnant]

Why is flight simulator not compatible with the xbox one anymore

[fiery python]

It never was

The game is too advanced for XB1

[cinder veldt]

it never was, and it is for good reasons

[timid patio]

i went to best buy and it shows pick country and it showed ameirca and canda

[trim remnant]

Btw is there away i can play older games on xbox one (meaning non xbox games)

[long maple]

so many questions

[kind heron]

And you don’t live in Canada right?

[merry palm]

google is down for the day , ig

[desert sonnet]

Time to bing chat it

[timid patio]

i live in uk

[fiery python]

Xbox is for Xbox games, so no, you can't play non-Xbox games on it.

[merry palm]

[kind heron]

Why do you think you’d be able to play non Xbox games on Xbox?

[trim remnant]

Idk maybe i like older games

[kind heron]

That isn’t what I asked

[trim remnant]

btw this thing called down detector says xbox live is down

[cinder veldt]

don't trust that over like the official status or support account

[merry palm]

some days..

[limpid flicker]

The Mega Man collection is on XBOX, that kind of thing would be your only option.

[merry palm]

some days i wonder about this chat

[limpid flicker]

There's also a Castlevania collection.

[merry palm]

https://tenor.com/view/eye-otter-rubbing-eyes-tired-irritated-gif-16638234

[night rapids]

Official support status sometimes take a bit to update but they will

[trim remnant]

i'm gonna try snow runner

[cinder veldt]

yeah it takes some time, but usually it's better to go of that than downdetector imo

[limpid flicker]

Some days you wonder if we're all nuts, other days you're certain we are.

[merry palm]

its a rare day i dont wonder if you are all nuts

[desert sonnet]

I'm the only normal person here

[merry palm]

https://tenor.com/view/station19-andy-herrera-scoffs-scoff-scoffing-gif-25243153

sure trippy

[kind heron]

[limpid flicker]

I like to pride myself on being a fun and harmless kind of nut.

Though if you have nut allergies, please do not partake of me, or things made in the same factory as me.

[merry palm]

i am perfectly sane, probably maybe sometimes...on tuesday

[limpid flicker]

Cool, lets hang on any Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

[merry palm]

lol

tuesday has tacos

so you are missing out

[limpid flicker]

Which is why you're sane, right? The other days your need for tacos takes over.

[merry palm]

i have to seem reasonable to the taco people

[timid patio]

@cinder veldt does the microsoft xbox series S also has the bundle

[limpid flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/precious-lotr-gollum-lord-of-the-rings-gif-4732834

[cinder veldt]

go and look

[timid patio]

i checked

[limpid flicker]

Last gif = Tes at the Taqueria.

[timid patio]

but does it give controller

[cinder veldt]

I give you chance to use google and research

[kind heron]

Then why are you pestering random people about it? They don’t know what the page you’re looking at has 😂

[timid patio]

ok

[half hazel]

Goddamn counter strike 2
Never thought it would happen honestly

[timid patio]

i dont know what to do im stuped

[kind heron]

I mean it is the 4th counter strike game.

[desert sonnet]

It gives hope for future Valve games 😭

[merry palm]

i need a nap

[plain parrot]

Team Fortress 2: 2

[kind heron]

Don’t ping me.

[desert sonnet]

Heck yea Team Fortress

[tired crescent]

Half life 2 episode 2.5

[merry palm]

this painful level on not looking stuff up is making me want to cry, and thats just weird

pls use the google and the reading things ty

[kind heron]

FR

[half hazel]

We all want TF3s
Either it is titanfall or team fortress

[long maple]

google is a great source for news and faster than here, cause that means we got to google for you.

[merry palm]

^

and then you gotta just hope we tell the truth lol

[limpid flicker]

A reason why people don't wanna look things up for you: while it's nice to help, we don't want to be responsible if what we suggest doesn't work.

[long maple]

not only that if you find a great website full of news you want, you can bookmark it for a later date 🙂

[merry palm]

i often dont like helping find a cool game bc kids are weird. no matter what you tell them they hate it... just bc you suggested it

if they find it, its awesome.. even if i would have suggested it myself lol

[fiery python]

Yep. Also, while the person asking may think 'It's just one question', theirs is about the 50th we've dealt with that day and after a while it gets tiring dealing with things that people can easily look up.

[kind heron]

Then they pester you with 100 other random questions

[merry palm]

if they ask what games i like.. im down to say those tho

like thats fair

[limpid flicker]

I did make an exception yesterday to try to help someone with a problem... and I really hope that what I suggested (with a big disclaimer) doesn't lead them to spend money with no result.

[fiery python]

I hate recommending games.

Played it. Already got it. Don't like it. It's not on Game Pass. It sucks. Is it free?

[timid patio]

how do i download toy story on xbox

[fiery python]

One recommendation turns into 20 after you get through all the caveats and useful info about what their like.

[halcyon stratus]

I’ll google anything at any time for anyone.
Whether I respond with accurate results is the plot twist.

[long maple]

you dont have a console yet, lol

[fiery python]

Step 1: Buy Toy Story.
Step 2: Press download.

[merry palm]

plus like.. i dont play all the genres.

i am only willing to recc things i'd like

[fiery python]

Google it, but use 'I'm feeling lucky'

[oblique coyote]

I need a nap too, Tes. So tired ☹️

[merry palm]

you wont see me suggesting scorn lol

[fiery python]

If that's still even a thing.

[long maple]

I dont think anyone suggests Scorn

[merry palm]

i never played it

[limpid flicker]

I feel like as a person perpetually playing old games that were kind of niche even in their day, my recs are not great for most folks.

[merry palm]

not my kind of thing at all

[long maple]

that game threw you in the deep end though, no help at all

[desert sonnet]

Scorn.. yea I tried playing that but it got frustrating

[limpid flicker]

This week, Sol has played games from 2008 and 2012. Not gonna help with the kids who want new releases.

[timid patio]

if i get certified refurbished does it mean i wont get the bundle

[merry palm]

idk

what does it say?

[desert sonnet]

Just when you think you get a bit of story in Scorn, bam. Another 20 puzzles you need to solve

[river eagle]

[long maple]

refurbished is 2nd hand. as Em said earlier if someone already used the content its gone

[merry palm]

any game with pvp...im not going to reccomend lol

[timid patio]

oh

[merry palm]

cause i dont play those

[timid patio]

atleast the non is 249.99

[merry palm]

i can tell you that tinykin is 10/10

[long maple]

you need brand new thats the only option of guaranteeing you get the content you want

[timid patio]

do i have to use battery for the xbox series S, I only used the xbox 360 so i dont know

[merry palm]

ive played unpacking 3-4 times. so that also is excellent

[kind heron]

You should be looking on the page for the item or ask the people selling it, not us.

[long maple]

type that sentence into google

[fallen blade]

Anyone know how to fix stick drift on the xbox controller?

[long maple]

send to microsoft or buy a new one

[kind heron]

They don’t talk self repair here

[desert sonnet]

What about over there

[kind heron]

Good question

[timid patio]

how much subs or views would i get for unboxing xbox series S

[merry palm]

dont make me have to be the mean mod here...

do you already have a following?

[cinder veldt]

now this one is just

[merry palm]

bc... probably 0

otherwise

[limpid flicker]

Maybe if this were the first day of release for the console then random unboxings could attract views.

[cinder veldt]

but 2 almost 3 years into it is more unlikely

[fiery python]

If you don't already have an established audience interested in you and your content, very few people are going to care about an unboxing vid of a two year old device.

[kind heron]

None. Make some good content

[merry palm]

i like unboxing vids but yeah... its not hot news rn.

That better be a joke

[timid patio]

what

[fiery python]

@timid patio No. Do not say things like that.

[kind heron]

If that’s your idea of funny, I think I know why you don’t have any subs/views

[timid patio]

what would win 100 prihanashianas or 5 sharks or 100000 monkes

[desert sonnet]

I have 3 subs on my twitch channel and I still dunno who they are

[night rapids]

Seems self explanatory from the tweet

[merry palm]

[timid patio]

what

[fiery python]

I really should not have to explain that.

[timid patio]

is toy story on xbox

[kind heron]

[fluid creek]

i am getting downvoted on reddit

someone ask me why

[sage ice]

why?

[merry palm]

bc you exist

[fiery python]

@timid patio I suggest you start using Google before you get an involuntary break to give you time to learn.

[fluid creek]

because players saw a leak and assumed that was the gospel truth

[merry palm]

ah that was my second guess

[fluid creek]

and they're mad i can't "fix" what isn't broken lol

[timid patio]

but i use microsoft edge

[fluid creek]

i mean. fair.

[cinder veldt]

I was going to take a guess it was because you said something fully reasonable that is also 100% correct proven by a google search

[fiery python]

Edge is a browser, not a search engine. Edge can access Google just fine. Stop being an annoyance.

[fluid creek]

literally "But that's not what was leaked"

[cinder veldt]

Welcome to reddit

[merry palm]

my mood today summed up in a plushie

[kind heron]

The people that follow that HaloLeaks Twitter acct aren’t the brightest.

[timid patio]

i almost forgot to add honey to my browser

[fluid creek]

i cri

[merry palm]

you deserve a donut

[kind heron]

Halo fans when the random assumptions they made off of incomplete info aren’t accurate: 🤬

[timid patio]

i shall make everyone stay away from my xbox series S once i buy it

[timid patio]

i always wanted to play halo

[limpid flicker]

So often I hear people saying "But this was leaked by (some guy) who is usually right." I'm like sure, whatever. Stopped clocks are right twice a day, get back to me when the developer gives an official word.

[merry palm]

never trust the leaks

[sage ice]

Sol, kids these days can't even read said clock

[merry palm]

and sometimes not even the official lol 😂

[cinder veldt]

But do you trust the leeks

[timid patio]

why is xbox series X much more expensive on amazon!?!?

[kind heron]

I asked you once not to ping me. But definitely play Halo. The game needs more bad kids for easy kills. 🤣

[merry palm]

until i see it in the game... doesnt exist

[limpid flicker]

You know, that's probably true...

[merry palm]

probably from a 3rd party reseller.

[timid patio]

😦

[kind heron]

Google it

[timid patio]

there wouldnt be reason for it

[merry palm]

i gave you the answer

[abstract pulsar]

Nice, they finally rolled the Bing Image Creator out

[limpid flicker]

With respect to the rules, I make sure to not talk about leaks and rumours here, but sometimes I just want to mock them, because they seem so ludicrously unrealistic.

[fluid creek]

Turn off the ping and stop using us as google.

[timid patio]

how do i do it

[merry palm]

Whenever I use my headset I can hear the headset connect, and I can hear people talk in party, they can hear me, but I cannot hear the sound for when i go through the menu and I cannot hear any game audio, it’s not my headset because it works on my pc and my controller doesn’t need any updates and I’ve changed the batteries, plugged it in ect. I adjusted the volume several times, changed my volume settings several times, I also checked several different forums and nothing has worked. Suggestions?

not particularly

No

Pasta with pesto and cheese. Very simple meal.

The spiral kind of pasta, if you're curious.

Mmm - I had a cheeseburger from McDonald's, didn't expect to feel bored from eating one

[timid patio]

am i too stupid to know how to disable reply pings

lunch? I had Mcdonalds

[fiery python]

Well, you have been shown how to do it.

[limpid flicker]

Please, Discord. Solve this problem forever.

[abstract pulsar]

"no, we don't like solving problems :)"

[fiery python]

They'd fix it, then add two new things to make noise at you.

If your console is telling you there's an update, then yes. If not, then no.

mrbeast or mrbeast from ohio

i agree to everyone thinking im annoying 😔

I so very much love Spring Training: https://www.tiktok.com/@mariners/video/7212795703502834986

[merry palm]

my phone started playing an alarm/music and idk why

there was no alarm

or app running or anything

it was a nice song too

but ... why

[abstract pulsar]

An unknown call to action?

[merry palm]

there were 0 notifs even

😂

[abstract pulsar]

Something about your destiny?

[limpid flicker]

Maybe your phone has become self-aware. You should consider yourself lucky it likes nice music.

[merry palm]

i mean.. i havent named it yet

maybe its mad

[timid patio]

amogus

samsung or google or iphone

If you agree that you're being annoying, maybe stop being annoying and posting spammy stuff.

Question

[fluid creek]

[abstract pulsar]

My phone seems self-aware... 'cuz I think it knows when I'm frustrated, always having a case of the phantom touches whenever I'm in a foul mood

[merry palm]

gotta think about it.. names are important

[limpid flicker]

Wow, are there only two brands of Android that people buy now?

[deep root]

Can u mod on xbox ? 👀

[fiery python]

Some games support mods.

[fluid creek]

beyond the official ones

no

[noble trout]

Meanwhile, Sofia Coppola's 16 yo daughter got grounded this weekend.

[deep root]

Wdym official ones

[sly umbra]

Thx, it worked

[abstract pulsar]

You can mod a game like Skyrim, but you can't hack the console itself

[timid patio]

converstation

[deep root]

How tough? And how to do it

[limpid flicker]

Would it be rude to ask why you're sharing this with the class?

[noble trout]

Because she was grounded for trying to charter a helicopter from NYC to Maryland.

[fiery python]

In the ones I've tried, very easy.

[noble trout]

That's newsworthy.

[deep root]

Can u explain to me pls

[halcyon stratus]

And now she is the greatest filmmaker of her generation.

[fiery python]

All depends on the game. Very few support mods. Those that do have guides available or menus in-game.

[limpid flicker]

Well, of all the ways I got in trouble as a teenager, that was not one of them. 🤣

[fluid creek]

i'm sure you can google "Skyrim Xbox Mods" and get a whole lot of documentation

[limpid flicker]

I've never been in a helicopter. Am I missing out?

[timid patio]

who likes the xbox discord feature

[abstract pulsar]

The nervous side of my brain makes the assumption that you are not

[fiery python]

I never use it.

[long maple]

same

[abstract pulsar]

Neither do I

[noble trout]

Yep! That's why I mentioned it 😄

[limpid flicker]

It all becomes clear now.

You know, for a second I was shocked to hear that Sofia Coppola has a 16 year old daughter. You see, I don't think of her as old. She's just a few years older than I am, I told myself.
...
No, Sol. She's old, and you are too.

[kind heron]

I like it because it makes it easier for my friends on Xbox to pull up in the voice chat during gamenights.

[limpid flicker]

I still don't use Discord on XBOX because the permissions / privacy stuff it asks for sound scary. Maybe it's not really scary, but I don't need it badly enough to find out.

[fluid creek]

yup! that's the best case for it i've seen so far too. very nice feature.

[limpid flicker]

I actually think it's not a problem what it asks for, but I do like keeping things to myself.

[abstract pulsar]

One thing that's probably too much to ask for would be the ability to stream my Xbox gameplay in Discord VCs

[fluid creek]

https://tenor.com/view/frodo-keep-your-secrets-alright-then-lotr-gif-12907121

[noble trout]

This is not a typical Sunday..

"This all led up to the early morning hours of March 19, wherein the "Hairspray" alum was found naked and alone while roaming the streets in downtown L.A. According to reports, Amanda [Bynes] was unclothed when she waved down a car and informed the driver that she was coming off of a psychotic episode. She then called police herself. "

[limpid flicker]

Oh I know! It's awful to hear about that. I don't have any real personal interest in Bynes as an actor, but it's so sad!

[abstract pulsar]

'cuz, like, if I have friends in a VC, I don't want to go on Twitch and publicly stream something like Mirror's Edge - I'd rather show it to whoever's actually inside the VC

[limpid flicker]

I would like to be able to do that, Miles. Not sure if there's a way. Might have to get a capture device before I could do that.

Often I just wanna show a game I like to a friend.

[abstract pulsar]

When I still had Windows, I used the Console Companion to do that. Being on Linux, no dice now :/

[limpid flicker]

Console Companion is no more, can you now do that with the new XBOX app? I don't use PC stuff often, so I might be unaware of what it can do.

[warped pendant]

Console companion still exists.

Messaging functionality has been moved to game bar and xbox app.

[short mantle]

I used console companion on my PC yesterday

[abstract pulsar]

Some say the streaming experience is a bit rough on the new Xbox app now, but IDK, I don't use it for obvious reasons

[limpid flicker]

I'm sorry, you're 100% right. However, is it right to say that it's deprecated now?

[warped pendant]

You could say that.

It's still the only way to manage captures from your console on PC, however.

[short mantle]

And access clubs if you’re into that

[limpid flicker]

I see. I'm sorry, I said I don't use PC stuff often, and I was clearly mistaken based on what has been said about Console Companion in this chat. I inferred based on incomplete information.

[warped pendant]

Oh, yeah. Forgot it had clubs

[deep root]

I couldnt see how to mod

[deep root]

Didn’t found anything

[fluid creek]

if i find an article on the first page of google, i get ot mute you

deal?

[fiery python]

It's literally on the main menu of the game.

[short mantle]

I’m really looking forward to the store getting added to the mobile app. I used it a lot back in the day. It won’t be out till next year though.

Ooo I've always wanted to play Blasphemous

[fresh wind]

Hahahahah. It’s $6 USD

[abstract pulsar]

Dang, the coin is always right
Unless you do a dang best of 3

[merry palm]

i have avocado toast now. life is good

[limpid flicker]

No no, here's the way to use coin flips.

[long maple]

yeah I need food in a min

[limpid flicker]

You flip the coin to decide, and if you are disappointed, you now know you didn't actually want that one.

[merry palm]

yep

[long maple]

I bought tons of Ham for sandwiches. will go with all the salad I keep buying too

[merry palm]

there is actual science about that btw

[abstract pulsar]

But what if I'm still disappointed?

[limpid flicker]

Then there's just no pleasing some folks. /j

[long maple]

best of 3, no 5, no 7. its never gonna finish lol

[merry palm]

then you picked two bad things and just wanted the rush of buying something

[abstract pulsar]

That's not a joke, Sol - that's sadly true for me :(

[limpid flicker]

NGL Tes, sometimes when there's a sale on I do just want that dopamine rush of buying a good deal.

[fiery python]

Can't relate to that... 👀

[merry palm]

oh same

i do window shop a lot. and then dont buy things lol

[limpid flicker]

"I'm never gonna play this game, am I? I mean, it's OK, but am I gonna get around to it? NOPE"
"Am I still buying it? YEP"

[long maple]

sale oh speaking of I bought a game. found out afterwards its got 6K gamerscore tied to it. I didnt even know 😄

[abstract pulsar]

I gotta rely on robots to make my decisions - that's not good

[fiery python]

I window shop too. Browser windows 😂

[merry palm]

yep

put all the things in a cart and then go nope

[abstract pulsar]

Even then they tell me "I'm not a decision maker, choose for yourself"

[long maple]

my Wife is terrible with that got so many lists on Amazon filled with items

[fiery python]

https://i.redd.it/5wv0gni9xgoa1.png

[merry palm]

nothing wrong with having wish lists lol

better than buying it all

[long maple]

its all categorized too

[limpid flicker]

Sometimes I think it would be funny to add up how many games I have between: physical releases, PS, XBOX, Steam, GoG, Nintendo digital purchases, everything ever... it would be fewer than some folks here, but still more than any human can ever play.

[merry palm]

makes gift giving easier ig

[fiery python]

I added my PS4/5, Xbox (digital only, so there's a few physical 360 games missing), Switch and Steam libraries into HLTB. That was bad enough.

[limpid flicker]

Sometimes I develop a new fixation and want to buy the entire series of some game franchise... and yet I can't honestly be sure my interest will last beyond two games in that series...

[silver pagoda]

Hi

[fiery python]

Took me over a week on and off to do it all. I'm not adding old legacy stuff too.

[merry palm]

im lucky in that my urge to buy things never overpowers my common sense or budget lol

but i Want

i want things.. i just dont get them

[long maple]

oh Rhinne I opened one of your old Excel backlogs you gave me back in 2017.. and it said you had 506 games

[fiery python]

Damn, that is old. 😄

[abstract pulsar]

Financial troubles keep me from doing impulse buys

[limpid flicker]

I added the ones I actually have any achievements in, plus the ones I can see myself playing any time soon. 197 games beat, and another 150 backlogged or in progress. That's literally only the ones I'm directly interested in playing... or have played. Easily three or four times as many games untouched.

[desert sonnet]

I love impulse buying. It's fun

[merry palm]

same

[fiery python]

I wish I could say the same.

There are times I'll step away and not make the purchase, but once the thought is in my head it won't get out and I'll end up buying it in the end. Even if I open the page, tell myself no and close it, I'll sometimes do that half a dozen times through the day before I just admit defeat.

[merry palm]

but i impulse buy in my budget lol

[abstract pulsar]

If I do get the urge to do so, I instantly do research before the buy

...and I make the purchase during an affordable sale

[desert sonnet]

Kylie put up a link for a thing that can control your phone without having to touch the screen. I impulse bought that so fast

[merry palm]

i dont have credit, so i dont have the ability to go over budget really

[limpid flicker]

Once upon a time, I had a dangerously large overdraft which was hurting me badly. I cleared that debt, and since then I have budgeted fiercely. I know how much I can spend, and never go over it. I still have a large line of credit to use, but I will not use it.

[desert sonnet]

Unfortunately I have to return it cause it wasn't what I wanted bleh

[merry palm]

i know myself too well to trust me with credit lol

[limpid flicker]

I'm in awe. I already knew it would be a lot, but that's just so many.

[long maple]

and I thought mine was bad

[ruby temple]

i bought xbox then 2 days later i broke arm

[limpid flicker]

See, I went the other path, got in trouble and clawed my way outta that pit. I was never in danger, but like, it was weighing me down to have interest and things...

[fiery python]

I need to update a few things. I started adding games into a bunch of categories, but it was too much work to get all the games added on the site as it was, so I got rid of most of the custom categories I was using.

[merry palm]

if i could get away with it, i'd have someone else in charge of my money 😂

but adult life and all

[icy verge]

When with the series s restock on Microsoft.com?

[ruby temple]

then 2 days after it arribed i got surgery, my month hasnt been the best rn

[fiery python]

No one knows.

[icy verge]

Oh🗿

[ruby temple]

just buy from local stores

[desert sonnet]

Don't put me in charge of money. Id spend it all on food

[merry palm]

i do fine, but it stresses me out

[long maple]

1,777 games, 310 completed. but thats everything which includes. 360, PC, games rented etc

[merry palm]

i'd rather just be given a fun stuff allowance lol

being a kid was easier

[limpid flicker]

IKR? Even when I have the money, getting bills just give me the shivers.

[merry palm]

i have most things on autopay

[fiery python]

Set up a separate account on something like Revolut. Transfer over what money you want yourself to have for fun stuff and then you have that card to use for those things.

[desert sonnet]

I just want someone to go to work for me. Like a robot me

[merry palm]

thats a smart idea

[limpid flicker]

I do too, but they send me notifications on my phone, and that somehow bothers me, even though it's just "hey, you paid this automatically" - it just feels like the cold hands of adult responsibility clutching at my throat.

[merry palm]

ive had to go the route of buying gift cards to save up for things

[long maple]

I was in the middle of putting £10 a week in a pot for saving but thats not going well just lately due to bills/food etc

[limpid flicker]

Yeah. Food shopping... it's like... give it a month and the bill goes up by 20% at the moment.

[long maple]

Wife is selling stuff on ebay she getting a new laptop soon. not much longer now

[fiery python]

If your bank offers a round up service, that's also good for saving up for stuff. I used that for my Series X and PS5 for a couple of years. It would automatically round up any bank or card transaction to the nearest pound and put the round up amount into a savings account.

[limpid flicker]

We've cut back on a lot of the foods we used to enjoy. Still get plenty of food, but not the same variety.

[limpid flicker]

😮
I need this.

[fiery python]

Natwest offers it. Not sure about other banks.

[merry palm]

gift cards make it so i cant like.. use it for other things. and its out of my account

[long maple]

yeah I am still managing food, just glad my kids like so much so I can pick and choose

[limpid flicker]

Funny you should say that. I might be with a bank you just mentioned. 😛

[limpid flicker]

I'm managing fine, it's just that these days sometimes I look at a luxury item of food and think "Yeah nah, I don't need it" -- and I've stopped getting takeouts as often.

[long maple]

we started going to Iceland for alittle just to fill up the freezers as a backup even though I dont enjoy eating most the stuff and prefer fresh, I am very fussy lol

[limpid flicker]

Curry used to be a frequent treat. Not so much now. =\

Mind you, most of them have onions in anyway. So it's better to either avoid or make my own with a weird recipe.

[long maple]

just seems like I am constantly going shopping though

[halcyon stratus]

Iceland is insanely expensive to visit, what are you doing!

[long maple]

went out today, but came back with stuff to make a salsa, guac and also tzatziki

[limpid flicker]

Tacti, I'm assuming that was a joke...?

[long maple]

lmao yeah

[sour trail]

That new Power Rangers trailer hit right in the nostalgia.

[long maple]

and on Netflix too, starting to stack up with films/tv for me and still got stuff I havent watched in the past 2-3 years

[abstract pulsar]

Ooh, I like this

[long maple]

I go through things in phases. so if/when I get bored of Gaming.. then I start binging TV shows and couple movies.

waiting for a nice day so I can mow the back garden although I could wait couple more months

[abstract pulsar]

@gray latch Sorry to ping, last one for the day
Thought of your birds when I was trying to come up with a prompt, so here you are :)

[limpid flicker]

I think if I had my own house, I'd want to not have any grass. Plants, sure... but not grass.

[long maple]

yeah too much work,. need to extend the paving as there isnt much for walking and still plan on BBQ at some point too

[limpid flicker]

Paving with little inset areas for shrubs and things, that'd be my ideal.

[desert sonnet]

Mmm bbq

I think my favorite bbq food is pulled pork

[limpid flicker]

Maybe I can get a smoker if I ever have my own back yard.

[abstract pulsar]

If you want, I can give you any of the full images, Green

[limpid flicker]

I sure do like a nice slow-cooked meat.

[desert sonnet]

I'm too afraid to smoke food. I'd get scared I would cause a fire if I forget it

[gray latch]

alternative lawns of native plants! definitely the way to go

[limpid flicker]

Sure! Anything other than grass. It's just... boring and pointless, and thirsty.

[gray latch]

it's not great, yeah

[merry palm]

i love grass, but like.. its dumb

maybe a lil patch to sit on, but otherwise meh

[gray latch]

yep

[desert sonnet]

I used to like making those grass whistles

[limpid flicker]

I'm good with it being in a park or whatever. Seems nice.

[gray latch]

I like that, just a patch

[long maple]

yeah I had so many plans but its just me, and I got other things to do ontop of that

[desert sonnet]

Put your kids to work Paul 😛

[limpid flicker]

Just pipe dreams, Paul. I'll probably not get to do them.

[merry palm]

i like bare feet on the grass and the smell of grass in the hot sun

but its annoying amounts of work and water

[long maple]

kids? they off to college, daughter is first

[desert sonnet]

Ooo congrats

[limpid flicker]

Those folks who have those perfect squares of lawn, the amount of effort they put in is incredible.

[long maple]

got in already. doing game design, hence why no fun things for me this year. cause we getting her PC sorted for september

[desert sonnet]

Ooo that's right.

How's that build coming along?

[long maple]

not bought anything yet lol

[limpid flicker]

Damn. She's living the dream. Does she need super high spec for all this?

[long maple]

yeah, it was a casual interview but they use Unreal Engine 4 with plans to upgrade to 5

everything I have priced up takes me over 1K

[desert sonnet]

That's gonna be exciting

[limpid flicker]

Not surprised, you gotta spend that much to have a good spec PC now.

[desert sonnet]

Does she already have her own desk?

[long maple]

yeah 3 days a week, and work experience she said. I want more details though we had nothing sent out as of yet

and yeah got everything else just need the PC

[limpid flicker]

Sometimes I wish I'd been more ambitious and academically motivated... but hey, I have the life I have.

[night rapids]

Bunch of true gamers here, hating on grass

[merry palm]

😂

[long maple]

I went from living in an apartment where the council cut the grass as it was a shared environment was there for like 13 years. to now having to do everything myself. I had no tools 😄

[limpid flicker]

Yeah I kinda figured that was coming. 😅

[merry palm]

[desert sonnet]

That's the best part of being in an apartment. You don't have to mow the grass. 😎

[oblique coyote]

I miss a garden to hang washing out on a sunny day. Oh well... 😄

[limpid flicker]

Food chat? Food chat.
https://soranews24.com/2023/03/21/pizza-hut-adds-a-too-much-coriander-pizza-to-its-lineup-in-japan/

[merry palm]

mmmm cilantro

[noble trout]

Soap pie!

[limpid flicker]

Not for my tastes, but hey if you like it.

[desert sonnet]

Ooo I would eat that with soup

[merry palm]

i feel for the people who got that gene

[oblique coyote]

I stopped eating pizzahut when they stopped adding garlic to the base. That was my favourite part about their pizza. ☹️

[desert sonnet]

It's just so dang expensive to get pizza hut now. They're charging so much for delivery

They should change their name to money hut

[oblique coyote]

Garlic sprinkles on the base was sooo nice. But they stopped it because people were allergic. 😦

[limpid flicker]

Allergic to garlic, huh?

[oblique coyote]

Yeah, stupid reason as to why they stopped it.

[limpid flicker]

I just haven't encountered anyone with that allergy before.

[oblique coyote]

Yep, same. ha

I love me a lot of garlic. On everything. Pizza, fries etc. 😄

[desert sonnet]

It's a solid ingredient

[limpid flicker]

Garlic and onions are related, I think. Glad that I don't have a reaction to garlic.

[night rapids]

super pumped, got my review code for Road 96: Mile 0. I loved the first game

[limpid flicker]

Me too, Ophelia. On loving it that is, not on having a review code.

[merry palm]

i know someone allergic to celery

and celery seed is in like... all the things

[limpid flicker]

I didn't know that.

[merry palm]

and here its not required to list it

so they have a rough time of it :(

[night rapids]

yep, it's just part of what's called 'seasoning',

[lunar tartan]

Don’t take a shower when you’re super tired lol I fell yesterday because of that

[limpid flicker]

Yikes! I'm glad you're OK, Kat. Falling in the shower can be potentially bad!

[fiery python]

Some American food labelling laws are crazy. Like if the sugar content is below a certain threshold it can be labelled as sugar free. So TicTacs, which primary ingredient is sugar, are sugar free. 🙃

[merry palm]

yeah its weird

but lobbying

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-comedy-television-jazz-hands-hands-gif-3931510

[fiery python]

Super fun for a diabetic.

Ooh, that's sugar free. Nope wait, it's lies.

[lunar tartan]

That’s dangerous

[lunar tartan]

When you’re as clumsy as me you learn how to fall correctly 😂

[autumn viper]

Wish I knew how to fall correctly… It would help me avoid a lot of inconveniences

[desert sonnet]

Just find the right person that you vibe with

[limpid flicker]

Sometimes in the shower I feel my feet slip just a little and I think "I really don't want to go out like that."

[desert sonnet]

Then you'll fall in love

[merry palm]

well

[desert sonnet]

You fell in the shower Tes?

[limpid flicker]

I say something wrong? 😅

[halcyon stratus]

The shower is incapable of returning your love

[merry palm]

no

i did get startled really bad by a bat in the shower once

[halcyon stratus]

It is not a healthy relationship

Baseball or Huggable?

[merry palm]

🦇

[limpid flicker]

Ooh bats. Bats are cute, but I don't wanna be surprised by them in the shower.

[merry palm]

they are less cute in your house.

[limpid flicker]

Maybe, I've only seen them outside, I do admit.

The other day one flapped its way past the window. Wasn't expecting.

[merry palm]

also they do often carry diseases so... yeah no

having them inside your house is nope

[lunar tartan]

You more than likely won’t die falling in the shower

[tired hare]

Uh does anyone know why I can't go into Microsoft store on Xbox?

[limpid flicker]

Really? I thought it seemed quite likely, being closed in on three sides by tile... hard stuff. Head soft by comparison.

[lunar tartan]

I’ve fallen a few times and I am alive lol

[kind heron]

That hard stuff isn’t that far from where you start though

[limpid flicker]

True, not long to build up momentum...

[unborn sinew]

Is there a way for my friends to find my discord?

[limpid flicker]

You could... tell them what it is in a text or email?

[tired hare]

Ask them their name?

[halcyon stratus]

You can drown in 1 inches of water, which is not hard to get in a shower/tub combo if you fall and your sponge or something blocks the drain

[unborn sinew]

Wdym

[tired hare]

ask them what's your discord name

[maiden python]

Whats a game i should try

[lunar tartan]

See that’s a circumstance where everything would have to be perfect for that to happen

[tired hare]

and why can't I still get onto Microsoft store??????

[unborn sinew]

This is my alt, they got my main acc

[kind heron]

Halo Infinite

[unborn sinew]

DS1/3, Sekiro and Elden Ring i recommend🗿

[long maple]

hm 50/50 if I should play Chinatown Detective Agency or not

[tired hare]

Then add them?????? Idk your making this confusing

[kind heron]

Just add them the same way you added them on your main account

[maiden python]

I’m level 390 in elden ring🗿 ima try the other ones tho

[unborn sinew]

I dont want them to find my alt acc

[tired hare]

does anyone know why I can't go into Microsoft store????

[kind heron]

What’s google say?

[unborn sinew]

Look if it has an update

[tired hare]

Then why are you adding them????

[tired hare]

I have and there's no update

[unborn sinew]

I never said i was

[lunar tartan]

Might be an update

[tired hare]

There's no update I have checked like 5 times already

[unborn sinew]

Try to go into Microsoft Suplort

[final cove]

Signalis

[tired hare]

Ok I'll try in there

[cinder veldt]

You are fine

[unborn sinew]

Or try challenges like no armor or SL1 runs

[lunar tartan]

No the person wouldn’t be able to find you Decay unless they have your username and discrimator which is the # with numbers

[unborn sinew]

Good to know, thanks yall

[lunar tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-pizza-heart-love-you-marvel-gif-25959533

[tired hare]

[trail harness]

[unborn sinew]

[desert sonnet]

Aw. That's nice to say

[tired hare]

Yeah I have just waiting

[tired hare]

It has to update but it wasn't so I just had to restart it

[summer karma]

my friend gave me some xbox 360 games and im trying to sell them at school, does anyone know what rd1, mw2 and assassins creed for the 360 is worth

[oblique coyote]

Arch is one of my favourite Linux distros. 🙂

[final cove]

Not much dude just hang onto them

[unborn sinew]

Since when can you connect your discord with tiktok lmao

[summer karma]

do i take 10$ for mw2

[halcyon stratus]

Yes

[frozen lily]

It isn’t worth that much

Mw2 (2022) is worth 2 breadcrumbs and a nickel

[oblique coyote]

I think he means the original MW2 and btw, MW2 (2022) is great.

[final cove]

Yes

[frozen lily]

The og should be worth 60$

[unborn sinew]

Agree, love the rebirth and DMZ multiplayer kinda boring after a while tho

[frozen lily]

The new one isn’t fancy in any way. I want my OG spec ops with multiplayer split screen

[unborn sinew]

Btw does anyone recommend a song? I need new songs for my playlist

[frozen lily]

What genre?

[stark nacelle]

What this xbox base app that’s installing randomly

[unborn sinew]

Tbh i really dont care aslong its not heavy metal or county
