You have to incel no life grind Fortnite to get better

[fiery python]

@tired hare Don't try to troll people.

[tired hare]

it's digital too

[cerulean basin]

How about this one? https://youtu.be/mxpYHW-M_Ac
A few cuts here and there, but it does show plenty of gameplay.

[lunar tartan]

Not true either

[iron veldt]

It is

[mellow roost]

It isn't.

[tired hare]

that reminds me of fortnite

[halcyon stratus]

You’ve posted a lot of things which I think you think are hot takes.

[lunar tartan]

Maybe for you but that’s a you think there

[iron veldt]

Especially on controller

[cerulean basin]

For once I can't hold myself and just say... git gud.
It's absolutely possible to get better at Fortnite.

[lunar tartan]

Admit you’ve hit your peak and move on then. No reason to complain

[iron veldt]

If you wanna get on the level some of rthese ppl are on it’s almost impossible

[tired hare]

extremely flaming hot boiling take but ocarina of time is a good game just saying tho

[mellow roost]

[mellow roost]

Don't be tricked by their nonsense.

[tired hare]

okay another one of my takes that isn't that hot is that Madden NFL is the best video game series of all time

[cerulean basin]

That clock just messed up with my mind o_0

[tired hare]

what's the song called

[mellow roost]

Yeah I wasn't expecting that to happen at first either.

[night rapids]

[wary thicket]

[tired hare]

how are you supposed to read the clock when it's breaking apart and rotating

[night rapids]

this has to be more trolling

[tired hare]

wdym

[night rapids]

you've never seen/heard a clock that does something at the top of the hour? it's not constant

[oblique coyote]

7-0! Come on England 🔥

[tired hare]

watching football?

[cerulean basin]

Ophelia, I'm leaning towards them not having seen an analogue clock before at this point

[wary thicket]

I watch football too

[tired hare]

what does analogue mean is that like the clock that has a number on it and stuff or is that just me fr

[rancid snow]

I'm familiar with xbox 360 games like gears of war 3,halo,dead space

[graceful junco]

I have a question. I know third-party companies (like Insignia) make battery chargers using the provided rechargeable batteries, but would it be a pleasure for Microsoft to release a charger for their own Xbox rechargeable batteries? Just wanted to ask.

[barren stag]

What’s up

[sage fiber]

Gta anyone?

[barren stag]

I’m good but thanks for asking

preferably free but either one is fine

Depends on what you like. But apex is great, game pass has lots of options if you have it.

Star Wars Fallen order is also good

[graceful junco]

I know Microsoft made an official Quick Charge Kit for Xbox 360, but I'm hoping for them to make one for the new Xbox rechargeable batteries.

[rancid snow]

Any one play state of decay 2

[long maple]

only thing Xbox have is the play n charge kit, 2 versions, Xbox One that comes with a battery and Micro-USB, and the other is for Series controllers and has a USB-C

[graceful junco]

But what if I have more than one battery low? For me, personally, I'm thinking a solution is still being worked on.

[long maple]

Xbox had a great promotion tonight for the England game,. there were Game Pass Ultimate codes all around the stands as adverts. very cool.

thats why its called a Play n Charge kit, cause you can still use the USB to play

@Dexerto Havok isn't a game engine. But more importantly, and take this from a game dev, but there is no such thing as a "Best" engine. That's absurd talk. It depends completely on what game you're making and what the team is. All engines have strengths, weaknesses, and limitations.

Is it a bad idea to put the Xbox series s power button facing down?

just don't block any vents

you can put it this way

Any decent story games on game pass?

[gray latch]

lemme go look at mine, brb

The sync button and the USB port are hanging off the side

thats it..

console released in 2020. they started using the console as parts for Cloud Streaming in Datacenters.. Series S sold more. but this coming holiday more SeriesX will be available.

[tired hare]

is anyone here a gears fan?

no disc drive is a dealbreaker for me

[swift thistle]

I respect it

[long maple]

for every SeriesX they could make 2 Series S console at the manufacturer, most the people wanting SeriesX are likely to have one already. will have to see what changes this year

I am gonna get one to replace the One X upstairs. mainly for the Wife though she wanted an upgrade

nah I dont sell none of my stuff, I got a 360, One S, One X, Series S and Series X. but I use the SeriesX.

daughter is on the One S, but we building her a PC as she needs for college this year. only got 2 more parts left to buy.. and my son got the Series S.

my first ever GPU was a GTX 750 on a prebuilt PC. I still remember struggling to run The Division back when it released, used to fall through the map a fair bit lol but that got me into PC gaming and went on to get some pretty high end components from there and build the system myself rather than go back down the prebuilt route

[barren stag]

Ngl im not really a fan of need for speed. I tried it with my friend for a couple hours. Just not for me

Only the option of getting more 😆

my first PC was a prebuilt must of been around 17-18 . I remember vaguely it being like 233mhz only upgrade I put into it was a Voodoo card.

[idle spear]

I was too young to get into the 3DFX voodoo cards but they are great for retro pcs now

[long maple]

233mhz Pentium 2. lol so long ago

cost me like £1000 as I bought it out my nans catalogue and just paid her every week from working

[idle spear]

I used to play some games on my parents windows 95 system then. No idea what the spec was

[sullen forum]

Oh I remember the old voodoo cards

I remember buying a 3dfx voodoo2, 12MB! only handled 3D graphics, no 2D 😄

[idle spear]

They used the glide api which was very popular back then. Really nice graphics

[long maple]

wish my memory was better cause I dont remember much about that time.. vaguely remember owning a Soundblaster Live with the extra bayport thing

[severe root]

Regarding the BBC computer, same was true for me, and Windows wasn't even a thing in common use when I was in school. I think technically it already existed.

making friends, talking about Game Pass.. loads of things really.. speaking of game pass we should get a new announcement of games tomorrow

[limpid flicker]

I don't know if the programs had distinctive names, maybe they did. The concept in general is called Turtle Graphics.

[severe root]

Oh great 😃
What games pls

[gray latch]

any!

[long maple]

you will know tomorrow

[pure ice]

I am super hyped for starfield

[severe root]

Oh okay thanks mate
He or she ?

[limber carbon]

Visual Basic? C? Java?

Sorry Paul, I ran out of options lol

If you're me, you talk about games that most people don't play and feel ever so slightly alone. However, the people here are great so it's not a problem. 😅

[gray latch]

you can pick pronouns in #772302316278644766

dont ask me about the language itself. I just remember there being a shape. where you would program in degrees and then distance to help it move around.

[severe root]

On what game is that pls ?

[desert sonnet]

Same!

Its probs going to take me 2-3 years to finish the main quest for starfield lol

haha ssd goes brrrr

[pure ice]

I am in all 3 ecosystems so i can play whatever game i want without worrying about what platform a game is coming to

[sullen forum]

I prefer our approach, I can swap drives at will without turning off the console

I don't have to power it down, remove plastic, get out a screwdriver, etc

[halcyon stratus]

I will literallyt never use that feature though lol

[sullen forum]

I move the drive between consoles 😄

[halcyon stratus]

In the history of Xbox, I literally only carried my profile on a card to a friend's house once lol

[limpid flicker]

Putting an SSD in the PS5 sure was nerve-wracking. People talk a lot about how easy it is to strip the screws. As such I treated it as though it were made of sugar-glass.

[desert sonnet]

It's gonna be a race for me to build a Burger King on the moon before anyone else does it. Time is of the essence

[gray latch]

I could easily see moving mine between consoles once I get my basement setup going

[sullen forum]

But also Tacti, as games get bigger, having a second card that you can swap between, will be much easier

[long maple]

yeah usually have to do that if my son doesnt want to download a game quicker to transfer from the expansion card

[pure ice]

I had my 4tb ssd on my ps5 die on me lol

That was a horrible experience

[limpid flicker]

Not so nice. Did you get it replaced under warranty or anything. Was there a reason why?
This BTW is why I tend to not buy the largest drive I can afford. Because the replacement cost will hurt.
(Sorry, I forgot to remove the ping.)

[halcyon stratus]

Counterpoint: I can get a bigger ssd for my ps5 😉

[pure ice]

I was dumb enough to throw out the box when i bought the ssd

[sullen forum]

And then re-download everything that was on the old ssd 😉

[halcyon stratus]

since the expansion port is on the back of the console instead of the front, I will never swap it because it will be way too much effort

[sullen forum]

also, are they making 8TB NVMe PCI Gen4's yet?

[halcyon stratus]

technically yes

[vocal gorge]

that would have been very expensive if it was one of the M.2 SSDs that matched the PS5's SSD speed requirements

[pure ice]

Those exist but not supported on ps5

[limpid flicker]

My bank account gently weeps.

[halcyon stratus]

if the slot was on the front then I might have a different opinion

[limpid flicker]

Seems like you take the DDR4 and use the opportunity to upgrade! 😛

[simple rain]

I’m looking at getting an S or X but intend to use remote play often on the same local network at home. I like to think my network is robust (UniFi access points and UBNT router). The Xbox will be on ethernet. The client will either be iPad Pro or iPhone 13 Pro. Should I expect a decent experience? Xbox cloud gaming has not gone well for me, too much latency to be bearable. Meanwhile GeForceNOW has been pretty solid.

[halcyon stratus]

inb4 eris says 'edgemax ftw'

[vocal gorge]

I went for a 2TB Gen 4 M.2 when I upgraded my PC not too long ago, WD Black SN850X. Will eventually upgrade to Gen 5 when cost comes down and speeds get close to their peak. My system is ready for Gen 5 M.2 SSDs and GPUs 😎 (though I will have probably upgraded again by the time Gen 5 M.2 speeds reach close to 16GB/s)

[lofty cloak]

Hey ppl

[idle spear]

Having both options would be ideal if there was a hardware revision.

[limpid flicker]

I feel like part of the reason XBOX went this way was so they could always be sure of the storage being good enough. With PS5 I don't know if there's anything stopping you putting an SSD in there without the speed necessary for the job.

[scarlet geode]

there's not. People put in SSDs that have like 1.5gb throughput which is nearly 1/4th of the speed of the internal storage

[limpid flicker]

I remember. However, does it outright reject the drive if it fails the test?

[idle spear]

You would get an error message on the screen if it didn’t meet the spec

It does a small benchmark test to let you know if it’s compatible

[limpid flicker]

The benchmark for mine annoyed me a bit since they say it has significantly lower speed than what is advertised. However, it's more than enough so I won't be upset.

[scarlet geode]

this was always the case, though. Xbox advertised 2.5gb throughput guaranteed, Sony advertises max throughput of 7.7gb or something (not guaranteed throughput)

[idle spear]

On some drives it can be the SSD firmware. I had to update mine to get the correct read speed but it didn’t really matter anyway

[halcyon stratus]

son'y doesn't work with / certify the drives though, so they can't gaurantee the throughput

[final coral]

If I knew there was free game pass codes i would of watched England play and no body watches England play

[scarlet geode]

agreed. I think that explains why Xbox went the route they did. They wanted to control the rated speed guarantees

[final coral]

Then again your probably woudnt be able to see the codes on a tv broadcast

[limpid flicker]

Yeah I... maybe I could do that but since it's already well over the minimum, do I care enough? I don't exactly have an unused slot in my computer right now.

[wispy sun]

can i stream my screen from my xbox to discord

[limpid flicker]

Not directly. Using a PC with a capture device you could.

[final coral]

Not directly

[wispy sun]

but i can join calls right

[final coral]

You can via twitch and have your twitch account linked to your discord

[wispy sun]

👍

[idle spear]

Yeah it probably makes no difference tbh so I wouldn’t worry. As long as it’s meeting base ps5 SSD spec it is fine.

[halcyon stratus]

yes

[final coral]

Though they should add streaming to discord via the voice channel

[mellow roost]

Jesus. So we spontaneously went to the Mall or America and there's a huge LEGO place and there's this giant Gundam looking thing made out of LEGO.

[wispy sun]

yea

[halcyon stratus]

"they" = discord

[limpid flicker]

The product page says up to 7300/MB/s but the PS5 said something like 6600 MB/s. If I recall, the spec for PS5 drives says 5500 MB/s so as such... I was like fuggedaboudit.

Unless the difference is measuring burst / sustained. Those can be quite a lot different, right? In that case it would be just two different stats.

[halcyon stratus]

hugely yea

[desert sonnet]

Fight it

[scarlet geode]

I remember someone tested Rift Apart on a drive that at best could get 1.7gbps

it ran fine with very little change in loading times or anything

[kindred sentinel]

That must be newish, I don’t recall seeing that on my last visit

[limpid flicker]

Actually, now I look... is the PS5 measuring write performance? Because 6600MB/s is actually right on the button for my drive's write performance.

[idle spear]

I’m not sure if that benchmark tool is entirely accurate either. When digital foundry was testing it, the read back was inconsistent

[mellow roost]

Better angle.

[limpid flicker]

I'm 100% not upset about this, I just have a nerdy curiosity.

[vocal gorge]

and soon Rift Apart releases on PC. So much for the claims of it requiring a really fast SSD, that or we're in for a DirectStorage treat and those on non M.2 SSDs are about to have a really bad time...

[mellow roost]

If I take any more I'll put them in #screenshots-and-photos, figured I'd post the Gundam giant robot here.

[idle spear]

If the game isn’t using direct storage I don’t see why any SSD wouldn’t be enough.

[desert sonnet]

Who else has seen The Flash?

[long maple]

I know Anchel has

[desert sonnet]

Sasha Calle as Supergirl.. 🤩

[trail harness]

Well I do suspect it will get ever harder over time to run AAA games on spinning rust...

[limpid flicker]

From what I heard she's a comic nerd from her childhood who really wanted the role... and they won't be using her in any more DC movies. RIP.

[idle spear]

Most games now are better suited for SSDs yeah. The new consoles have raised the base line

[limpid flicker]

Face it, (SATA) SSDs were pretty common in PC by the midpoint of the previous generation. Consoles started to feel like they were missing out.

[idle spear]

For a boot drive at least. Getting a 1TB SSD was very expensive in 2016

[trail harness]

in 2014 I had a 512 GB SSD... said SSD is still in use

[limpid flicker]

Lets start a controversial one: Say-tah or sah-tah?

[trail harness]

both

[limpid flicker]

I always said sah-tah but I hear a lot of YouTubers saying say-tah.

[twilit veldt]

Should I buy GTA Online? I’ve never played a GTA game in my life.

[idle spear]

I mean nobody could stop you popping in an SSD into the PS3 or PS4 either. It was supported

[sage ice]

if you never played GTA I would start with the campaign before online

[limpid flicker]

True, though on PS3 I wonder if any benefit would derive from that.

[trail harness]

PS3 is SATA-1 I think lol

[desert sonnet]

She was great. Definitely one of the highlights of the movie

[idle spear]

There are some videos on it. Basically the UI would feel more consistent with less lags but load times were generally similar besides last of us and a few others that had a major difference

[vocal gorge]

I ditched the SATA cables back in late 2020 (kind of followed the latest consoles) and imo was the best thing I ever done. Less cables and a far faster storage. SSD goes BRRR 😄

[trail harness]

I plan to put four NVMe drives in RAID 0 for lulz

[idle spear]

I upgraded to intel 10th gen in 2020 so that was my first M.2 setup

[scarlet geode]

the main advantage to an SSD in PS4/XB1 was just the lack of moving parts

[desert sonnet]

Batman in the movie was pretty great too

[scarlet geode]

SSD in the XB1X was a little faster than the spinning drive

[idle spear]

The load times were much faster as well, especially in never games

Even if you just run an external SSD via usb it’s much faster

[limpid flicker]

@mellow roost I had a suspicion and consulted a friend, so... it turns out that while that is very Gundam in style, it's no specific Gundam. It's an original.

[scarlet geode]

much faster is a relative term lol it was a few seconds out of over a minute in some cases

[idle spear]

I was using a 2TB SSD as on the PS4 Pro. Was so much faster.

Red dead 2 and division 2 the loads were almost halved

[scarlet geode]

it was noticeable though I think that's more what you mean

[tough nacelle]

Ssd is one of the most cost effective upgrades on a computer - most increases in speed for the difficulty and price

[desert sonnet]

I wish had a 2tb anything

[mellow roost]

Neat! Also, apparently Lee helped build the giant green dragon there as well. They had an event years ago and they gave everyone a square to put on. 😄

[lunar tartan]

Yeah we had instructions of what to put on the square and we watched the employee add it to the dragon it was so much fun

[tough nacelle]

Really appreciate the direct storage on the series x, load screens don't exist anymore lol

[terse mulch]

i got temp banned for 2 days and i cant appeal even though it was most definitly a false ban, is there anything i can do? cuz the thing doesn't say that i can appeal the ban

i believe its only the longer bans you can appeal

[terse mulch]

yeah thats what the website says

its fr stupid because i got banned for a group post that say "1v1, be good"

[vocal gorge]

oh, yeah for sure. Installing an M.2 is so much easier. No cables to snake around the case like there was with SATA and even now some motherboard makers have made it super easy installing an M.2 by going toolless (and screwless, unless you use the motherboard's built in M.2 heatsink)

[copper canyon]

Ordered the John Wayne burger here at Burger Burger. Sounds awesome. Wish it was named after someone else though.

That is such a good name

[limpid flicker]

I literally talk to nobody on XBL. Just friends on Discord. I don't need the risk.

[mellow roost]

John Wayne, for those that don't know, was a horrible person, especially to natives.

And yes, I didn't believe it either, but yeah, Burger Burger.

[limpid flicker]

John Wayne had horrible politics and was not nice to women, too.

[lunar tartan]

Yes and it’s 🔥 when I was really sick years ago this was the only food my stomach could handle

I used to want to watch John Wayne movies but after hearing what he was like.. yea.. no thanks

Yeah every time I've learned anything about anyone I listen to or watch or read, there's a solid chance that they're horrendous.

Marilyn Manson...uhh...wasn't as big of a shock though. He's been telling on himself through his lyrics since the 80s.

[limpid flicker]

The sheer number of entertainment works where now I can only think of them with a sinking feeling in my gut and a sense of dread is... just too high.

[twilit veldt]

There’s an auto moderator on Xbox live, it’ll instantaneously temp ban you if you say something slightly offensive or leading on close to offensive.

[limpid flicker]

So here's a radical idea: don't.

[mellow roost]

I also don't think that's even true, if I'm honest.

[terse mulch]

well i do yes. not because i cant take it, because its funny when they get banned

[terse mulch]

ive gotten told to end myself so many times in messages and they dont get banned, like they dont even word it weirdly, they just tell me straight up and no matter how many times i report them they dont get banned, same thing with being called slurs or whatnot, its actually mind numbing

[dark sparrow]

Nah, i just completely terraformed half of an island for the lols

I think they fixed that now, the current season is pretty good, especially if you wanna get back into the game

No crazy stuff like web shooters swinging all over the place or Kamehamiha’s obliterating you in 2 seconds

[frozen lily]

How does rubberized back grips and side grips feel like? I might get them for my design lab Xbox controller

[barren stag]

I haven’t played since the beginning of chapter 2. There’s other battle royales I’d play anyway. But that’s good to hear for the sake of current players

[dark sparrow]

Im joking, i wanted to build something nostalgic, and needed flat land

[frozen lily]

It’s $5.99 extra so I don’t know how they feel

[soft lake]

Oh yeah, I didn’t play too much during chapter 2 but the game is better than it was then, though I do slightly regret missing out on some stuff in chapter 2

Wouldn’t say I’m focused on too much in particular right now, but I play Minecraft in spurts, other than that I’ve been exploring game pass lately, trying different games

[half coyote]

[barren stag]

Fair enough. I had a world in Minecraft and we beat the ended dragon so we didn’t go too much further.

Right now I’m working on finishing Halo 5. Than I’ll probably work on Star Wars Squadrons. But I also explore game pass

[autumn viper]

Well, survival can make it way harder sometimes. I usually make two copies of the same world, make one creative for designing and previewing, then build it again in the survival world. Helps me get really good looking buildings

they should've just replaced all the m&m spokescandies with eminem instead of that other person

[limpid flicker]

Not sure that they want their image associated with him.

[cyan quiver]

still baffling how sensitive society is, to the point where they took out all the spokescandies because of the green m&m's shoes

they changed the shoes of the green m&m from high heels to normal sneakers because of it

[limpid flicker]

I don't know the whole story and the version of it I remember is... not exactly that.

Yea.. that's not how it went down

[abstract pulsar]

Why can't we just eat the M&M's and laugh about how they're circles or something

isn't the orange m&m the pretzels m&m?

[desert sonnet]

Yea he's the pretzel one

[limpid flicker]

Perhaps it's not that the others don't know, it's that they are resigned to their fate.

[night rapids]

The backlash actually happened because they changed the shoes. They didn't change the shoes because of outrage

[cyan quiver]

why did they change the shoes in the first place?

[silk mountain]

"controversy" all over a pair of shoes? geez

[desert sonnet]

It was mostly some nutjobs being offended that they changed her shoes. Everyone else didn't care

[gray latch]

[cyan quiver]

it's like a streamer switching his favorite brand of speakers to another brand....no one really cares except nutjobs

"I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite store on the Citadel."

[silk mountain]

I posted on Reddit one time about how my Switch helped with my depression, and I got flamed by it by a few people, turned into a big thread I didn't read any of it, smh

[night rapids]

I would never lie about my favourite game

Raid shadow legends

[silk mountain]

Did you know Ninja is in that game, he's like a 6 star character or something

[foggy skiff]

this message brought to you by... dammit, Ophelia!

[night rapids]

I didn't endorse this 😂

[limpid flicker]

Are endorsements going to lose value at some point due to the power of generative AI?

[silk mountain]

What do you mean

[limpid flicker]

Why pay a YouTuber to endorse something when you can virtually dig up Elvis Presley instead?

[silk mountain]

Oh I don't know if people would find Elvis relevant these days plus wouldn't they have to pay his estate

[halcyon stratus]

i wish ryan reynalds lawyers were more angry

[limpid flicker]

They can at this point very easily create fake footage and fake dialogue for anyone they fancy, is my only point.

[cyan quiver]

wouldn't it be a bit controversial to use dead people's images without permission?

[night rapids]

They'd have to have permission

[halcyon stratus]

multiple movies are already doing that and it is in fact controversial lol

[limpid flicker]

You say that like it isn't already happening.

[night rapids]

Families and estates like money

[cyan quiver]

I don't watch movies and TV shows

[limpid flicker]

Tell me more? What are they doing with his likeness.

[limpid flicker]

I'll give you an example of that having happened.
||You know George Reeves? The first on-screen Superman? The one in black-and-white? He appeared in a movie this year.||

[halcyon stratus]

a muskrat made a long commercial about how awesome teslas are featuring ryan reynalds as both the narrator and an actual 'person' in the videos... elon 'liked' it and it went viral

[cyan quiver]

it's in that new Flash movie isn't it?

[night rapids]

Watch spoilers people

[limpid flicker]

Ooh, doing that with someone who is still alive... that seems risky.

[foggy skiff]

I don't want to, they spoil things

[limpid flicker]

Just to clarify, do you think my comment was a spoiler?

[cyan quiver]

especially when some are scam ads

can't tell you how many times I scroll down YouTube and see a scam Mr Beast ad

[night rapids]

No idea, but someone mentioned the flash movie after you said it, so best to avoid spoilers if that is indeed the context. Movie has barely been out

[limpid flicker]

Fair point, I didn't think of it as a spoiler but that doesn't mean it isn't one.

[mellow roost]

Got myself a treat. 👀

[silk mountain]

Ooh is that the starfield one

[mellow roost]

This looks so damn good in person I almost don't even wanna use it.

[versed swan]

reminds me of how in a new thing disney is bringing back walt disney so he can say how much of a good job they are doing

[mellow roost]

But Lee wants their own controller back.

[lunar tartan]

It so slick

[cyan quiver]

You could always put it on a shelf.

[limpid flicker]

Sigh.

[cyan quiver]

the only problem with special-edition controllers is that after using them for a little bit they collect a lot of marks, scratches, and the thumbsticks eventually feel less grippy over time like normal controllers

and if they break? can't buy brand-new ones unless they're being sold on ebay for a higher price

[gray latch]

idk, I've used my Dawn Shadow a lot. it has some scuff marks on the back where my rung touches it, but it still looks great

[cyan quiver]

it hurts even more when the controller in question is mostly white, or a light color

[night rapids]

I've never been a fan of just collecting controllers. I use my things. If they break, they'll go on the shelf for display. I see the appeal for others but it's not for me

[lunar tartan]

Japanese monster is so much smaller and 1 can is 2 servings 😅 I love it though

[gray coral]

to me it feels like you’re buying a spare controller you never want to use

[lunar tartan]

Got this little guy at 5 below

[gray coral]

nice!

[hollow hawk]

Hello Xbox server, just got off work

Greetings fellow :3 enjoyer

augh, my legs hurt, I was supposed to have the day off but I was called in, didn't get a break and I'm just now realizing I didn't get anything on my way out

[lunar tartan]

It’s ok to say no sometimes. Your days off are your days off

[desert sonnet]

Hell yea Kylie 😎

[hollow hawk]

I know that, but at the same time I do like money. Hours have been scarce for me the last two weeks and just recently I dropped like a good chunk of money to buy a Series X for my dad. I gotta start building up some decent savings again

[lunar tartan]

Ahh I see. I get that just take it easy

[hollow hawk]

Combination KFC/Taco Bell

[lunar tartan]

That’s kind of an invasive question

[night rapids]

Totally understandable on both sides. Especially in part time situations. Hours aren't always easy to get

[hollow hawk]

I make it a point to have off Wednesday, to share a day off with my mother who's always either sleeping or working the night shift, and Sunday evenings for being with my grandparents

[inner gyro]

What

[hollow hawk]

Bah, there's like a thousand KFCs in my state alone

[inner gyro]

So cool 😎

O my Gordon Ramsey

[hollow hawk]

Oh God, my PS3 has been on the whole time I was at work

[lunar tartan]

Especially fast food where if you say no then they take that as being uninterested in the job and don’t want more hours

[inner gyro]

So amazing

[signal rover]

Does anybody here play dahood?

[inner gyro]

Wassup danger

[signal rover]

I need someone to train me I wanna get hood I already have 600k dhc

[inner gyro]

Wassup guys

TGplays here

[hollow hawk]

Especially management at my place, tbh I'm not the best worker by a long shot and it's mostly because I'm kinda scatterbrained at times, between trying to help other coworkers and doing my own jobs and dealing with customers, so on and so forth

[tired hare]

diablo 4 is kinda overrated ngl

[sage ice]

then dont play it

[inner gyro]

[tired hare]

great advice

#rules 😃 1. Be cool, kind, and civil. Treat all members with respect and express your thoughts in a constructive manner.

[chrome pendant]

Being kind is not telling people to "shut up"

[lunar tartan]

Block button is your BFF

[tired hare]

Playing fifa 16

[sage ice]

or just ignore them or block them

Buy things

[halcyon stratus]

that's 1 more point than you'd have otherwise

but you can only do that a couple times

[limpid flicker]

Buy things with a punchcard associated, then.

[barren stag]

Tbh I’ve tried rewards but they just aren’t worth it to me imo

[grizzled belfry]

Y’all like my pfp?

[barren stag]

Spending all that time for a $5 gift card

[vestal skiff]

No

[long maple]

I get tons of free things just from doing Rewards.. last thing I bought was Jedi Survivor

[sage ice]

I get enough points every month they send $10 to my account to buy more games. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[barren stag]

Which I can get enough for working 15 min at my job

[sage ice]

I spend less than 1 min on daily rewards.

[long maple]

also have free Ultimate just from rewards too

[limpid flicker]

TBH I rarely do anything for rewards I wasn't gonna do anyway.

[barren stag]

I would just rather spend that time else where🙂 no hate

[sage ice]

so be it. I do mine when waking up in the morning and sipping coffee

[hollow hawk]

To me it's more like "oh hey neat I have enough points for this small thing" every now and then

[barren stag]

Pockets of joy

[hollow hawk]

Very small ones yes

[barren stag]

😂

[tired hare]

pocket coffee, heloooooooooo

[vestal skiff]

I got 500k Microsoft points

[hollow hawk]

And you've just.. never used them?

[barren stag]

😂

[radiant osprey]

Fr

[vestal skiff]

nope

[long maple]

I know people have bought SeriesX just with reward points

[limpid flicker]

Is it possible you're confused between reward points and gamerscore?

[cyan quiver]

it seems like it'll take years to do that

[barren stag]

It’ll all be worth it when the time comes tho

[tired hare]

it's point lifescore

[long maple]

not when you buy digital games cause they are added to the points too

I got 7K just from buying Jedi Survivor

you mean 100

[vestal skiff]

What should I buy with my 500k Microsoft points

[long maple]

let me check cause its different for everyone.

like £5 for me is 5850

so £1 = 1170

US is like 4550 for $5 I think

[night rapids]

Rewards here says "up to 20points per dollar spent"

[cyan quiver]

If you're in the US, you can use those points to get $500 in Xbox Gift Cards, to buy a brand-new console

You can also use it to buy hundreds in Amazon gift cards, although if you do $100 it's 130,000 points each and therefore you won't get $500 in Amazon

[grizzled belfry]

I logged into my mom Microsoft account and she got 12k Microsoft points

Ima ask if I can buy gamepass with it

[tired hare]

Does anyone know if Nitro is giving Xbox Game Pass stuff still? Or is that over?

[sage ice]

it is over

[long maple]

most I had saved was 65K. I am on 9K right now

[tired hare]

Oh ok. Thanks!

[grizzled belfry]

I asked and she said what is that

[lunar tartan]

Lesson learned when a Japanese caffeine drink says 2 servings it’s really is 2 servings 😅

[long maple]

I get like 13-15K a month just for 1-2mins a day.. some of the Game Pass stuff take longer but still worth it.

[lunar tartan]

Idk how or why but Japanese monster is way more effective than American monster

[potent birch]

i guess caffine laws are different

[long maple]

right gonna check the new sale for the week and go bed.

[grizzled belfry]

Haha I got gamepass now I used her points

[lunar tartan]

This is why I thought it wasn’t gonna be more effective because in America there isn’t much caffeine regulations except when it comes to alcohol… my guess is it’s the source of caffeine that’s different

[night rapids]

Do the dailies and you can

[desert sonnet]

Depends on what food

[twilit veldt]

You could buy a whole console with that money. 💀

[desert sonnet]

If it's celery then no

But if it's a cheeseburger pizza bacon deluxe, yes.

You heard me

[night rapids]

Trippy out here giving big time nutritional advice

[halcyon stratus]

that advice does not sound rug-safe

[lunar tartan]

I had a great day. Thanks to Kylie

[night rapids]

You talk about the game a lot, clearly play it a lot. You should know yourself better than any of us

[night rapids]

Trippy doesn't like ice cream. Do we trust any food advice from him?

Then you should know if you need food

[merry palm]

Ooooh

[sage ice]

you said "Hey peeps" 🤣

[merry palm]

Peeps is short for people lol

[night rapids]

I played the Stray Gods demo. So good

[merry palm]

Can't type it as peops

Looks weird

[sage ice]

I played the new star trek game, had fun in it

[barren stag]

Yikes

[merry palm]

I have played 0 games today cause my mouse at work was taken. And then I brought mine from home there.. and have now forgotten to bring it home lol

[lunar tartan]

Does the peep store still exist in the mall of America? I didn’t look

[night rapids]

Nooo

[merry palm]

Its a bit tragic but I'm too tired to go back and get it

[night rapids]

There was a whole Peep store?

[halcyon stratus]

I haven't had that much energy in a decade, holy cow

[lunar tartan]

Yup

[merry palm]

I didn't see a peep store, but the mall is huge

I did see a really cool cotton candy store!

[lunar tartan]

It looks like it’s not there anymore 😦

[merry palm]

Bummer :(

I got to go when I visited there. It's really cool

Minnesota

[night rapids]

I know how big our mall is here, only slightly smaller than MoA, so I can understand how huge it is

[merry palm]

Is v big

So much walking

Wish I lived closer to it for reasons

[night rapids]

Does it have an amusement park and stuff in it too? West Edmonton Mall has one, and a water park, ice rink etc

[merry palm]

Amusement park, aquarium, etc

[lunar tartan]

See when I am walking around and browsing stores my mind forgets about the pain so it’s very nice

[night rapids]

So very similar

[merry palm]

Yeah probably

[limpid flicker]

Hi Tes! I'm nearly finished the Neptunia game I'm playing. I reckon just a few more hours and I can 100% it which is exiting if you're me.

Yay! Congrats!

How many hours has it taken you?

[frozen lily]

I’m buying the mineral camo controller, and I’ll save up for a Xbox series s, thoughts?

[merry palm]

Good for you

[tired hare]

i saw oj simpson at a mall near my house

[lunar tartan]

Then as soon as the adrenaline wears off the pain is so intense. Here’s hoping I can sleep tonight

[tired hare]

i used to have that game but it disappeared

[frozen lily]

Thank you, I hope I can save up for it, I’ll have 151+ left in my Amazon balance

Ooo nice I love just dance!

[obsidian kayak]

Hi everyone

[merry palm]

I'm so tempted to get a series s lol
I don't need it but it's always tempting

[frozen lily]

$151.86 in counting

[limpid flicker]

I already have 76% of the trophies and the last few will all come soon I think. As for time, OMG 115 hours. I just looked and that is so much more than I thought! That's every possible ending though. So replaying the game multiple times.

[frozen lily]

What do u have lol

[merry palm]

That's so many hours, sol lol

I play PC

[frozen lily]

Oh do u have pc game pass

[merry palm]

Gamepass ultimate, but that includes PC game pass

[tired hare]

the series s is so tiny it’s crazy what it can do

[merry palm]

Ikr it's very cool

[limpid flicker]

Never felt like that many at the time, Tes. I think my first ending was only 32 hours, so it's only me being obsessive that inflated the time.

[merry palm]

As long as you enjoyed it, that's awesome

[frozen lily]

I love the little cover you can buy on Amazon to put on it

I don’t know if I should buy one of eBay or play safe and buy a brand new one on amazon or a GameStop refurbished

[lunar tartan]

I have 520 hours on Fortnite I think that’s the most I’ve ever played a game

[merry palm]

I'm going to procrastinate getting one probably until the next console lol

[tired hare]

i have 113 days

[frozen lily]

The next era or the 1TB one?

[kindred sentinel]

Well they will be cheaper then Tes 🤷🏻‍♂️

[merry palm]

No I mean that at that point I'll just want the new console instead lol

[tired hare]

i can definitely see the series s being sold long after the series x is discontinued

[frozen lily]

Oh lol

[halcyon stratus]

lol wut

[merry palm]

It will be a toss up between PC upgrades and a console at that point

[frozen lily]

Like not in stock? I thought it will be not discontinued

[tired hare]

like when they make new xbox consoles i feel like they’ll keep the series s

[merry palm]

They won't sell one but not the other

[halcyon stratus]

they will not.

[merry palm]

They go in pairs, always

Both or none

[frozen lily]

True

[potent birch]

well they will just upgrade the series s

[merry palm]

That's.. not how new consoles work.

[halcyon stratus]

we're just mashing buttons on a keyboard tonight

[kindred sentinel]

Lol

[sage ice]

most likely when the times comes, we will get the Series S2 and Series X2 (name TBD)

[merry palm]

I can't wait to see the names 😂

Idk if I want it to be ridiculous or professional sounding

[potent birch]

i mean it will be weaker than the series x something but still digital

[merry palm]

Why would you think that?

[kindred sentinel]

SS & XX obviously /s

[ripe sedge]

Can anyone help me with Xbox app please

[sage ice]

when the series s replacement comes out, it could be more powerful than todays series x

[potent birch]

i'm guessing thats why

[limpid flicker]

I'm expecting something nonsensical like XBOX Species Dolphin and Species Platypus.

[merry palm]

That would be fantastic

I hope for that. But it is probably unlikely

[ripe sedge]

I don’t have much time to make a post

[kindred sentinel]

When I hear Dolphin I think of the Game Cube

[merry palm]

You have time to keep poking in here, so you have time to make a post.

[sage ice]

it takes the same amount of time as typing here

[limpid flicker]

Oh damn it, you're right. OK so... XBOX Species Coelocanth. 😛
I just want strange names, OK?

[merry palm]

Something less confusing would also be acceptable

XBOX Laugh, and XBOX Love. To go with XBOX Live!!!

[merry palm]

Omg

Idk how to feel about this

[frozen lily]

What happened

[merry palm]

It's both amazing and awful

[night rapids]

Directly to jail, Sol

[merry palm]

I say this as a person with a live, laugh, love sticker on my wall

It was pretty , there were flowers.

Don't judge me

[limpid flicker]

I hereby do formally release this idea to XBOX and disclaim any stake in the creation of it.

[night rapids]

And glitter

[near tiger]

XBOX glitter machine

[merry palm]

I'd get that

[near tiger]

just sprays glitter everywhere after unlocking an achievement

[merry palm]

I love glitter

[limpid flicker]

Y'all remember my idea for a Series X where the top fan has a kaleidoscope projector?

[near tiger]

it's a pain to clean up though LOL...

[merry palm]

I also want this

[merry palm]

Why would I try to get the glitter off things?

[tired hare]

they should make a new kinect
