general-chat

[mellow roost]

In a perfect world, we could have all these things and they'd work out just fine. The evidence, however, doesn't really support it unfortunately.

There's tons of examples of "well this does something, why can't that" out there, with Starfield being the most recent example that people love to dump on.

[balmy plaza]

Thinking about how many gbs everything would be also

[spiral shore]

I love wow but on xbox not a good idea

[fiery python]

Eh, large games stopped being an issue a long time ago.

WoW is a smaller install than CoD.

[mellow roost]

Now quite frankly, there's definitely some reasonable complaints when it comes to features that should be in Starfield (a favorite planet menu, for example, hello???), but what I mean here is that people are acting like the game has nothing going for it just because it doesn't have X thing that Y game does.

[spiral shore]

My wow install is 120 gig with classic wrath and hardcore and a few addons

[mellow roost]

God damn. WoW got big.

[balmy plaza]

Didn’t know that but still large for me 😅

[fiery python]

Sure, adding Classic in too will make it larger.

[solar patio]

Do I need Xbox gold to play overwatch 2?

[fiery python]

But regular WoW is around 90GB I think.

[spiral shore]

yea it was about 80 or 90 gig befor that

[fiery python]

No

[solar patio]

Cuz if not I’m gonna cancel the subscription and get Ubisoft+

[mellow roost]

Last time I played it, it was like...20 or something. 💀

[balmy plaza]

It’s my reasoning as to not playing it on pc rn

I might wait till I get a bigger HDD xD

[spiral shore]

any way I hope everyone is having a good morning /afternoon 😀

[mellow roost]

The MMO days of the 00s was something else.

[balmy plaza]

You too

[spiral shore]

as my insomnia is bad been up all night its now almost 7am ugh lol

[keen laurel]

MMO's always felt more like a social hub than a game to me

[grizzled moss]

Anyone wanna play gta 5

[surreal hamlet]

Warframe is my favourite mmo

[weary solar]

If you're looking for someone to play with, please go to #1094715375884697600

[slim lava]

After reading the announcement I thought everyone here would be happy about it 😅

[keen laurel]

Warframe is a lot of fun. Just wish I could transfer my stuff from PS to Xbox, so I wouldn't have to start over

[balmy plaza]

Those cables 😁

[floral lodge]

Did anyone finish lies of p

[fiery python]

I miss the days when MMOs were considered games for sad nerds. When WoW went more mainstream (around the time they allowed people to play for free to a certain level and they realised how good the game was) it started to become far more toxic and antisocial.

[cinder veldt]

Are we not?

[slim lava]

Yes Yesterday

[mellow roost]

That's most of what me and a lot of other people would play them for back then.

Me and a bunch of others would just sit in PVP arenas all day long and talk the whole time. When someone entered the arena to fight, we killed them and sat back down and went back to talking. 💀

[spiral shore]

Like the old Halo L A N parties

[floral lodge]

It's ridiculously hard

[cinder veldt]

I wish I could ever experience a real Lan party

[slim lava]

Didn't feel like that

[keen laurel]

Kinda feel like this is what made the genre so big. Not the pvp aspect, but the talking aspect

[cinder veldt]

Have we said we are angry about it?

[gritty lotus]

Fisrt mmo i ever played was a browser based mmo called Ragnarok or RO

[spiral shore]

ready for spider man (ps5) going to be a fun game

[keen laurel]

I remember I played Perfect World so much. Man, that game was crap. I was young though, so still enjoyed my time

[balmy plaza]

I got through teenager-hood with mmos

[slim lava]

It's clear to me... I'm just saying

[fiery python]

It happened yesterday, there was a fair bit of chat about it then. It's also been going on for a loooooooooong time so we're more relieved that it's over and done with and just waiting for things to start happening now.

[balmy plaza]

Club penguin was my thing

[mellow roost]

I'm happy that ABK was acquired, but it's like...this has taken 2 years. I was sick of hearing about it a year ago. 💀

[cinder veldt]

Well it's not as clear to me, haven't really seen anyone here angry on it

[gritty lotus]

Yeah im happy its done and im happy we got rid of bobby

[mellow roost]

He's gone already? Excellent.

[gritty lotus]

Well januray

[fiery python]

The acquisition was confirmed, woo. That's pretty much it right now. Nothing else happening so not a great deal to talk about that hasn't already been talked about a million times in here over the past two years.

[fiery python]

Not until the end of the year.

[gritty lotus]

He ALMOST gone

[fiery python]

They need a couple of months to sew the gold thread into his parachute.

[mellow roost]

💀

[slim lava]

I played sekiro, every soulslike after feels easy 😅

[frank arrow]

what are y'all hoping to get out of the ABK deal most? mine is new prototype game

[balmy plaza]

New games 😎

[fiery python]

Guitar Hero

[mellow roost]

"Free" CoD games.

[gritty lotus]

With the money hed be getting they could make a pit of cash so deep he'd not need the parachute

[fiery python]

Let's hope his payout is in coins then.

[spiral shore]

lolol

[gritty lotus]

🤣

[cinder veldt]

Guitar hero 100% I would say I'm a big fan of that series, and with a new guitar hero there could also maybe be chance I could play rockband 4

[mellow roost]

I never play CoD long enough anymore to actually justify buying them, so it would be nice to potentially be able to play them on Game Pass, if that's a thing that happens.

Guitar Hero would be an awesome comeback too.

[frank arrow]

new guitar hero would be rad

[spiral shore]

want to see starcraft 2 on xbox lol I know that wont happen but hey i can dream lol

[steel vapor]

I wanna see that like insane space game, I forgot the name

[grizzled moss]

Does anyone want to play gta 5 I wanna do hiest and stuff

[winter forum]

Starfield?

[weary solar]

If you're looking for someone to play with, please go to #1094715375884697600

[steel vapor]

Other one , pc game

[cinder veldt]

Let's just say

[winter forum]

Homeworld?
EVE?

[wicked venture]

Why is everyone glazing Spiderman 2

[mellow roost]

I don't know if I'm aware of any major ones made by A, B, or K.

[balmy plaza]

Glazing? Donuts?

[frank arrow]

playstation logo

[mellow roost]

Then again I could be missing something here.

Surely you're not meaning Star Citizen?

[spiral shore]

the never ending game in dev

[fiery python]

Star Citizen: Mortgage Simulator

[mellow roost]

The chance of that hitting console is pretty much negative unless we get quantum consoles that can run anything in 500 years.

[spiral shore]

that game is crazy i played it here and there

[surreal hamlet]

Star citizen on console would make my series X explode and my PS2 turn into a supernova

[spiral shore]

man been years since i played Sacred 2 wow had to fire it up lol

[surreal hamlet]

I really got get shadow of the Colossus for my PS2

[vagrant mica]

Star citizen has been in development for years and is only barely playable

[idle spear]

It’s a great game

[surreal hamlet]

I played it on PS4 a long while ago but I don't have a PS4 now

Loved the game a lot, was very good

[idle spear]

Will be nice to have the new and old games on gamepass. I also hope they revisit back compat with the IP they now own.

[idle spear]

Yeah ICO was great also

[winter forum]

Played the last guardian?

[idle spear]

Yeah completed it twice

[winter forum]

Oh nice. I thought it was ok. Quite ambitious, but somehow not as good as SotC

[idle spear]

Shadow would be my favourite out of those 3

[fallow pilot]

Does anyone know a fix for nat type:unavalible

[manic bison]

What r some low gb games that are like fun something like escape academy or tabs something either goofy or like a puzzle game you know
Either free or on gamepass

[idle spear]

Fall guys doesn’t take up much space

[manic bison]

Servers don't work in my country

And I don't like it either way i hate parkour

[keen laurel]

Coffee talk is really good, though its like 80% visual novel

[manic bison]

Yes something like costume quest or coffee talk caught my eye but Idk if they are good yet

Even something like car mechanic simulator or cooking simulator you know I would like to have a few of Low gb but fun games that don't have much to them

I have space in the Xbox better use it lol

[keen laurel]

Coffee talk is relaxing and interesting. Very character focused. You run a coffee shop, where you get to listen to customers when they talk to each other, as well as partake in the talking

[manic bison]

I like that

[fiery python]

Should be loads of guides if you Google it.

[manic bison]

I will probably give it a shot

[keen laurel]

Noice

[snow burrow]

Wrong message

[keen laurel]

There is also Signalis, which is a horror game. Haven't played it too much yet myself, but it's supposed to be really good

[manic bison]

I don't like horror games but my dad does maybe I should download for him

[keen laurel]

Worth a shot

Then you have big names like Minecraft, Terraria and Stardew Valley. If 21 gb isn't too big, then State of Decay 2 is also fun

[manic bison]

For some reason I can NOT find the add server button in Minecraft so I deleted it

[keen laurel]

Idk anything about that. Sounds like an odd problem

[tired hare]

Yo when is the free beta for mw3 on xbox??

[tall kraken]

if i buy gamepass for console can i upgrade to ultimate at a later date or will i pay full price on top of it?

[sage ice]

when you upgrade, you pay the full price, but it adds the time to your sub

[tall kraken]

oh ok thanks!!

Yo I want to make a request add touch controls on Xbox every single game

Including Microsoft flight simulator

[sage ice]

all requests are to be done on reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/

[vagrant mica]

Adding touch controls to every game probably would take ages

[floral arch]

Fr

Adding touch controls would be no better then making an game available on mobile

[tough scroll]

what's "touch controls" anyway?

[floral arch]

Something something touch controls etc

[tough scroll]

...

[vagrant mica]

just playing with your finger

Like using a mobile

[cinder veldt]

lol my PC had automatically added the windows search bar back

[dull escarp]

You can change it in the settings though, at least on windows 10 (I have not used 11)

[obsidian kayak]

#1090563104280170596 message

Let me know if the link works

[fiery python]

There is no free Game Pass Ultimate.

FC 24 only offers a 10 hour trial. The full game won't be added to EA Play until next year, usually around May or June.

[radiant remnant]

It does thank you so much

[balmy plaza]

Bad words no no

[obsidian kayak]

I don’t play mw2 but knowing the internet I think I know what that word is lol

[gusty ingot]

Is xbox game pass core like games for gold so can u keep the 25 games with pass?

[floral arch]

Your about section blinded me bruh

[fiery python]

You don't keep them if you stop paying. Same as Gold.

[gritty lotus]

Always kinda sus when people label slurs as free speech

[grave violet]

What is bad word

[balmy plaza]

Yeah I think it means they want to get away with it

[gusty ingot]

So if the list changes to new games will u keep the games u had before if I'm still paying

[fiery python]

No

When the games change you get the new games and lose the old games.

[desert birch]

And that word is so called "classy"

[gusty ingot]

Ah so it's a mini gamepass with online

[humble prism]

Bro why am I named precious dog😭

[fiery python]

You think racial slurs are classy?

[desert birch]

I put it between quotations for a reason

[gusty ingot]

Dose anyone know a good low budget racing game

[obsidian kayak]

I mean it technically is free speech but that doesn’t mean that there wouldn’t be punishments for breaking server rules. The mods pretty good here

[novel jungle]

@weary solar no one likes you.

[gritty lotus]

Rhinne I was wondering as I'm new here, how many are on the Mod team for this server as so far all Ive seen is you and it is filling me with a deep sympathy

[fiery python]

It's not technically free speech at all. That's not what free speech means.

Is forza horizon 4 worth the £50

[limber carbon]

It is more of a question of whether is FH4 worth it to you?

[gusty ingot]

I mean is it good

[desert birch]

1. Do you like racing
2. Do you have a steering wheel

[gusty ingot]

Yes no

[balmy plaza]

You don’t need a steering wheel

[gritty lotus]

Its a good game and its feature complete with a lot of content.

[limber carbon]

If you really want to play it now, then it is worth 50 Pounds, if not wait for a better sale.

[desert birch]

Never said anything about that

[gusty ingot]

I see

[gusty ingot]

I think AC needs a wheel

[gritty lotus]

Animal crossing?

[crimson marsh]

you don't necessarily need a steering wheel

Steering wheel adds more realism

Wheely?

[gritty lotus]

Or armored core

[balmy plaza]

Assetto Corsa

[gritty lotus]

Lovely thank you for asking. Catching up on some houswork and chilling with some video games. How about you?

[tired hare]

does it look like a window in the middle of ur screen now

[long maple]

not long woke up, and deciding what to do for the day lol

[inner arrow]

Wait… that’s possible?

[long maple]

yeah I had around 20 cars port over from the time I played Crew 2

[vestal cipher]

i am thinking of buying xbox series s

[gusty ingot]

Are you the guy with 1500 games ?

[inner arrow]

Well guess I will 100% Crew 2 then

[limber carbon]

Yep, I've been doing that for a long time.
The cars are ported every 1 hour or so.

[long maple]

yes thats me. lol

[tired hare]

i cant sign into xbox game bar anymore

[winter forum]

See now I want to find something I've played that you haven't

[vestal cipher]

i am thinking of buying xbox series x
is the fan loud on series x
and how long can i use it fo pls help me

[winter forum]

I don't understand that last question

[limber carbon]

Fan is super silent. I can't hear mine at all.

[long maple]

same answer. and you can play it long as you want long as the console is well-ventilated. theres people in here who have left the console on for weeks/months

[vestal cipher]

How many years can I use it?

[gritty lotus]

Fan is VERY quiet on the series X

[winter forum]

Erm...many?

[long maple]

had mine since 2020 so 3 year anniversary is coming up soon. 10th November

[vestal cipher]

ı am turkish

[gritty lotus]

Hell ive been playing since the og console and im nowhere near that 🤣 to be fair i jump between other systems too

[brazen flower]

so cod is xbox exclusive now?

[long maple]

no, still the same its actually in more places

[limber carbon]

No lol

[gritty lotus]

Unlikely, that would be a massive hit to revenue if they pulled it from other platforms

[long maple]

Nintendo have CoD now once they make a game for it.

[brazen flower]

what will ownership of activation mean?

[floral arch]

No but old servers are active on xbox now

[gusty ingot]

Can't seem to reach the bottom impressive number of achievements u have

[gritty lotus]

Different leadership, possibly more funding, ability to focus in other areas if devs wish it. Possibly a good thing for the franchise

[long maple]

more games to more places, and Game Pass etc.. hopefully a revival of old games that have been sitting on their shelves for too long. and better workplace for their employees

also Microsoft going into Mobile

[uneven river]

True crimes👀

[brazen flower]

we need a new cod thats like cod 4

[gritty lotus]

Work environment should have a BIG boost hopefully. Will make the staff happier at least.

[gusty ingot]

Wait are most of the games u played from gamepass or u own most of those too

[winter forum]

@balmy plaza moving the coin chat to here

1p: A hazel dormouse, which has seen its population halve since 2007

2p: A red squirrel, which is expected to blend into the colour of the copper coin

5p: An oak tree leaf, signifying its role as a rich habitat for biodiversity in woodland areas and an association with monarchy of the past

10p: The capercaillie - the world's largest grouse - found in a small part of Scotland and threatened with extinction

20p: A puffin, considered endangered

50p: The Atlantic salmon, which is at threat from river pollution and habitat loss

£1: Bees. Been in decline in many places for a while now.

£2: National flowers - a rose for England, a daffodil for Wales, a thistle for Scotland and a shamrock for Northern Ireland

[balmy plaza]

Thank you for this 😄

[tired hare]

[sour star]

I'm buying a controller without the audio jack but i want to connect a headphone to it

You'll need a controller with the audio jack, or get a wireless headset that's compatible with Xbox

[sour star]

is gta still on gamepass

[gusty ingot]

@long maple for game rental have u ever tried boomerang rental

[fiery python]

Buy it then

[long maple]

Yes thats the place I rent from

[sour star]

How do you know if a mouse works on console

[vast ermine]

Were you able to see the Solar Eclipse?

[fiery python]

Plug it in and use it

[tired hare]

When will it come on gamepass

[weary solar]

As of close, we start the work to bring beloved Activision Blizzard franchises to Xbox Game Pass and other platforms—and we’ll have more to share in the coming months.

[balmy plaza]

Woo

[halcyon stratus]

Note that there are only like 50 games that support mouse and keyboard though. So check the list of supported games or you might be disappointed with your mouse purchase lol

[long maple]

I been subbed since 2014 to Boomerang. think I may cancel after this year though. as I keep playing Game Pass, Ubisoft+ and Digital games instead of my rentals. they sit on my desk for months

[tired hare]

Wait so is any activision game on Xbox gamepass?

[gusty ingot]

I see so do you recommend it?

[fiery python]

Not yet

Unless there were some already on there

[long maple]

yes if you can actually stick with it and play the games when they arrive

[tired hare]

On 10th November will it only be mw3 or also the olders?

[fiery python]

MW3 won't be added for a while

[gusty ingot]

I see that's neat then thanks

[fiery python]

No one knows what will be added or when yet

But we know that Diablo IV isn't until next year and recent CoDs are under Sony's contract so won't be for a while either.

[tough relic]

Oh yea we sadly can't send pictures

[long maple]

Dead Island 2 I have had it since July, hardly played 😄

[tired hare]

Dang that sucks

Thanks a lot tho

[long maple]

yeah the Article from yesterday says "over the coming months" so we got to wait on another announcement to see whats going to Game Pass

[halcyon stratus]

People aren’t going to read the whole statement .
They’ll see “coming months” and assume that means “in a couple months all games will be available” lol

[long maple]

and we already have announcements from Game Pass aswell upto December from 3rd Party

[gray latch]

use imgur and post a link

[fiery python]

They'll assume November because that's a month that's coming up.

[tacit robin]

they will use the ABK games as back ups for gamepass for when things get delayed. They know they can not have a 2022 again. I all for that tbh

[sour star]

is there a way to connect a wired headset to an series s not by the conroller

[fiery python]

No

[vast ermine]

Madam Baseball did you see the eclipse?

[fiery python]

Otherwise I would have told you that earlier when I said you can't do it.

[west pebble]

Is the eclipse here now?

[gray latch]

not yet, you're too early!

[west pebble]

I saw it for the first time while wearing these special glasses at the Canadian national exhibition.

Awwww. Rip.

[gray latch]

it won't be at maximum for another 2 hours

[vast ermine]

It's raining here so I def can't see it

[gray latch]

aw dang

we have partial clouds so it's iffy

[exotic musk]

My mom warned me not to look at the sun, as if Im that stupid 😂

[gray latch]

weren't you telling someone to look at the sun here like a month ago

[exotic musk]

shhhh

[gray latch]

mhmm

[halcyon stratus]

Last time there was an eclipse where I was (uhhh 6 years ago?) I absolutely positively stood around with a bunch of grown adults some of whom were just looking straight up without the little glasses we had to share

[gray latch]

ppl are dumb as heck

[gray coral]

same here in toronto

[gray latch]

I think we've all learned that over the past 3+ years

[night rapids]

It's instinct to want to grab a peek, not always thinking

[gray coral]

correction: its fully cloudy

[long maple]

I only ever seen one, might of been around 1998

[vast ermine]

2017

[exotic musk]

If I may, how old are you?

[weary solar]

#rules 🛡️ 8. No personal information. Protect your privacy and the privacy of others.

[long maple]

everyone knows my age, I dont mind sharing I am 42

[exotic musk]

Nice

[halcyon stratus]

Anyone who can remember 1998 is someone who should not be trusted !

[gray latch]

you can use pinhole projection to view it safely of you don't have proper glasses/filters

[exotic musk]

or just set up a go pro at the sun and record it

[long maple]

I only remember cause I was working, we spent most the day outside, there was a huge patch of grass and about 10 of us started playing football instead of looking at the Eclipse lol

[gray latch]

pinhole projection is neat

[halcyon stratus]

RIP gopro

[gray latch]

you can also use binoculars to project if onto a piece of paper (do not look at the sun thru binoculars)

with the binoculars you can even see sunspots sometimes in the projection

[exotic musk]

oooh that sounds neat

[long maple]

I worked at a Potato Factory, was a great time. got to take home a bag of potatoes every night

[gray latch]

lol wut

[halcyon stratus]

I thought that was a setup to a joke Paul!

[long maple]

lmao no, it was a real thing 😄

[gray latch]

I'm wheezing

[halcyon stratus]

lmao

[mellow roost]

🤣

[gray latch]

what a fantastic non-sequitor 😄

[mellow roost]

Didn't know Paul was a medieval peasant at one point.

[gray latch]

🤣

"potato factory" I'm picturing an assembly line with potatoes going by one at a time and like idk having the eyes put in

[mellow roost]

Paul picks one up, "yeah this is alright," and just puts it in a potato bin.

[gray latch]

not making fun of you Paul I love this

[mellow roost]

Yeah same, I love the idea of free potatoes.

[gray latch]

right?

[shadow scarab]

can i have your microsoft reward points?

[gray latch]

hahahahaha no

[halcyon stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/grumbl-krumplika-krumpli-fidesz-potato-gif-15381844

[mellow roost]

Points for asking for something I can't say I've ever seen asked here, I guess.

[long maple]

yeah they were inside massive containers. got washed. came out on a conveyor belt, computers put them into bags, that dropped onto another conveyor. then I was stood there next to a rotating machine. and had to pick the bags and put them onto another conveyor belt lol

[gray latch]

awesome

[halcyon stratus]

Paul swimming in potato’s at home ^ because he can’t possibly eat that many per day

[mellow roost]

Secret po-ta-to man!

[gray latch]

https://tenor.com/view/potatoes-gif-18364984

[halcyon stratus]

That sounds physically exhausting

[mellow roost]

There was one time I ate so many potatoes that I started smelling like a fresh bag of Lays.

[long maple]

they got put on pallets at the end, my friend got wrapped up once in saran wrap as a joke and got lifted up with the forklift 😄

[gray latch]

lmaooooo

[halcyon stratus]

Makes me think of those videos where the farmers jump in to the hay baling machines

[long maple]

miss the job it was fun

[cursive kindle]

Hiya folks, mind if i ask some questions regarding the 360?

[long maple]

I got sacked at the end, so hey great pun to finish it all off. 😛

[balmy plaza]

Sacked heh

[wraith spire]

FF XIV online is coming to xbox?

[balmy plaza]

Not that getting sacked is good but I got it

[long maple]

is that 14 ? if so yes. sometime 2024

[balmy plaza]

Yes at some point

[wraith spire]

oh nice, ty

[winter forum]

@long maple
We both saw this one
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_11,_1999

[long maple]

there you go, yep I was 18

[winter forum]

I was at a youth club week thing at a local church. They made it space week. We made bottle rockets and pinhole cameras

[keen laurel]

My sister really enjoys factory work too, in her case its fish. She gets to eat as much fish as she could ever want, and gets a 75% discount on all their products. Everything she eats at work is free

[cursive kindle]

Question, the Xboxmarketplace keeps saying i don't have valid payment options? is this like a bug or something?

[long maple]

I miss my other job, BT Warehouse was packing items which then had shipping labels we had a board made up of people that had famous names lol. another place I really enjoyed, but each pallet had a 2 digit code to type into computer so it knew you put onto the right pallet. after about a year or so. I had memorized 60 pallet digits and people kept coming to me for the codes when they forgot 😄

[tame wind]

I had the same problem so I had to switch my card

[keen laurel]

I bet you still remember some of those codes :p

[long maple]

Yeah I worked with an Agency and they would send us to random places that needed extra work

[cursive kindle]

darn

[long maple]

was at a Mr Kiplings warehouse for one night

[cursive kindle]

it gets through the entire process up to where i have to confirm it with my bank, but as soon as i confirm with my bank it just says "sorry you dont have a valid payment"

[keen laurel]

I think some find that kinda work tiresome. End up being more on the road than actually doing work

[winter forum]

I used to work at Maplin and memorised a lot of product codes. Useless information now but sometimes came in handy.

[long maple]

yeah I didnt like Shift work all that much, I did 2pm - 10pm, 10pm - 6am, 6am - 2pm. etc

[keen laurel]

Yeh, those would be pretty typical work hours for my sister too. They can be at pretty much all times of day

[winter forum]

Only shift work I've done was a sorting centre over Christmas one year 5pm-10pm
The pay was pretty good though considering it was pretty much monkey work

[desert sonnet]

I love that kind of work

[keen laurel]

I got like 8:30 to 2:30 as a baseline. That is not taking into account meetings, and before and after work that teachers do

[desert sonnet]

Just put headphones in, stock shelves and chill with the coworkers in between.

[long maple]

I spent more time sleeping than actually doing anything. still like my sleep now

[winter forum]

They did offer "over time" too 10pm-3am but funnily enough, I never agreed to it

[keen laurel]

There are definitely days where I wish I could put music on my ears and just do work where I get into a rhythm and forget the time

[desert sonnet]

Looking back, I probably should've taken up more graveyard shifts. I was more of a night person

[winter forum]

Getting home was the big problem if I finished at 3am. I didn't drive back then and busses didn't operate after about 11:30pm

[long maple]

my job is easy now, I just look after my Wife who has Fibro. so I get to stay at home all the time. she doesnt need my help all day.

[small rivet]

Should i get Jack Skellington

[cinder veldt]

Xbox marketplace is very broken and shouldn't really be used tbh

[long maple]

is that cause its closing in July, things are winding down?

dont think there are any other 360 games I need to get and I could take a trip to CEX if I wanted more games anyway

[flat orbit]

anyone playing motorsport?

[tired hare]

So never scared at night. lol

[long maple]

I am just levelling cars right now the other screen. want to get that over with.

[flat orbit]

why is it I can't change settings and just force me to raceee

like i want to change my video settings

[sullen forum]

You can only change video settings from the main menu

[flat orbit]

I'm on main menu

i just finished hakone laps and quit to main menu and I got builders cup

[pearl rain]

hello

[brazen adder]

Went to the store to buy steak and accidentally bought pork shoulder steak instead of beef. Punching air

[hidden mantle]

Hi

[long maple]

Pork Shoulder steak is really nice though.

[brazen adder]

I wanted beef though 😭💔

[cinder veldt]

Been meh for ages tbh, long before the announcement

Any 360 purchase is recommended to be done on an actual 360

[hidden mantle]

Where u from?

[pearl rain]

serbia, wbu?

[hidden mantle]

Uhh, I think Russia because of ur nickname, me from Moldova

[long maple]

its usually my daughter who bugs me for different games. but with her going into the City for College she always looking in CEX and some other places to see game prices. then comes home telling me she wants a new console kept asking for a Dreamcast last week

[gray latch]

I am ready

[cerulean basin]

Whatçs that for? 😮

[gray latch]

now if the clouds will kindly cooperate

eclipse viewing

[cerulean basin]

Ooohh ofc, should have taken that out from the picture, I'm a bit sleepy 😴

[gray latch]

no worries lol

[long maple]

she had a great time at that game event yesterday,. played Super Mario Wonder and said the Nintendo employees were filming her gameplay, got a poster for Persona 3 reloaded. some other swag stuff.

[gray latch]

nice!

[cerulean basin]

Cool stuff indeed!

[flat orbit]

why is it in photo mode and i stay still screen getz like fuzzy

[cerulean basin]

What game are you talking about?

[flat orbit]

forza motorsport

[long maple]

Sam Lake was there doing an Interview yesterday too for Alan Wake 2. but that was on too late and they had already left.

my Son is really into Cars and I think we going to a Car Show next year, he already been looking at the event and put my email in for newsletters for when the next tickets are available.

[gray latch]

I literally cannot hold numbers in my head. so in order to keep from having to constantly look it up, I wrote it somewhere handy

[desert sonnet]

Sam Lake seems like a cool person

[long maple]

sometimes I wish I could drive would make things easier, but I dont have to wait much and then my kids can do the driving. so gonna do that instead. then I can bug them to take me shopping lol

[gray latch]

haha nice, I don't drive either but I don't have kids for that. didn't plan that far ahead I guess 😄

luckily my partner drives

[long maple]

yeah never really had to, and I enjoy walking most the places are walking distance for me. and majority of the houses I have lived in. plus I dont like standing around for transport sometimes they never turn up on-time

[gray latch]

I don't generally live in very walkable areas tbh. this country was definitely built around cars

[cinder veldt]

The US is very built around cars

[gray latch]

the times that I have lived in a downtown area we had hills lol

[hidden mantle]

Where I can find friends on Xbox

[keen laurel]

Lul, kinda what granny did. In her older days, her license was taken from her. She celebrated like it was the best day of her life

[fallow moat]

Eclipse should be starting in about 54ish minutes here

[hidden mantle]

Yeah…

[gray latch]

it has just started here but we have a ways to go until maximum

[fallow moat]

I see it going too, but at about 9:26 pacific I should be seeing it go full

[lament fossil]

Can anybody help me on my Series 2 Elite Controller both triggers are registered as pressed down and both sticks are stuck on the top left and bottom right in the software but not physically

[west pebble]

I just tried some I don't know if I can say it.

I had to get a drink because the taste was eh.

Is the word prohibited? Cannabis?

Okay never mind phew.

Never doing that again.

[cerulean basin]

Got this at the office yesterday 😁 Not for us to use, will be super limited for special sweepstakes and whatnot, but it's still quite cool

Glows with bioluminescent colors too 😛

[cinder veldt]

That is sick, I would easily have such card if it was a produced thing

[cerulean basin]

It's BIG, mind you

[cinder veldt]

4090 big?

[coarse heart]

Is overwatch gonna have better things on game pass now

[cinder veldt]

They haven't said anything on overwatch so maybe, maybe not

[long maple]

oh yeah looks great, theres been some nice game design GPUs around. that Starfield one was nice

[coarse heart]

I can’t wait to see what xbox is gonna do with overwatch

[cinder veldt]

Hopefully improve it

[sage ice]

Do you need my address?

[coarse heart]

Tbh blizzard was too greedy and didn’t give creative freedom to their devs so I’m hoping that changes

[cerulean basin]

Our office is also looking more and more like a jungle these days 😂

[halcyon stratus]

Oh?

[coarse heart]

The face of someone that loves their job

[cerulean basin]

You already get some OW2 perks on Game Pass Ultimate at least, like unlocking all new characters so far, instantly

[bright warren]

What’s a acceptable Xbox speed for downloading

[sage ice]

1

[cinder veldt]

That's up to you

[halcyon stratus]

985 meg is about as fast as you can go

[hollow hawk]

at least 1 yeah

[coarse heart]

Already owned them anyways maybe they’ll add more

[bright warren]

Mines 200mb but my regular download is 400

I use wireless

[cerulean basin]

I would expect a few perks here and there, some skins, etc.

[exotic musk]

its starting

[cerulean basin]

Make sure you also connect via a 5 GHz network if possible. Should help with download speeds.

[lament fossil]

Can anybody help me with my controller

[vagrant mica]

you’re not gonna get your max download speed over wireless due to stuff like interference, 5ghz is better for speed but also does have a smaller range than 2.4

[tired hare]

I NEED HELP MY XBOX SERIES X SOUND HIGH

[cerulean basin]

Lower the volume then? Hardly sounds like an issue

[cinder veldt]

It's not that easy, they need the controller 😛

[cerulean basin]

Plenty of people here have Game Pass, yeah

I mean the sound

Not from the tv

[cerulean basin]

If you mean the fans, it's normal that they make some noise

[tired hare]

Yes

But my xbox is 8 mouth old

[cerulean basin]

Some models do make more sound than others.
Series X and Series S are pretty quiet relatively speaking.

[vagrant mica]

it also depends on the game you play

[tired hare]

I have xbox series x

[tired hare]

Fortnite

[long maple]

I put my SeriesX back on my desk, still cant hear it

[cerulean basin]

At most what could be happening is that there's dust in the fans, making it sound louder than it should

[cinder veldt]

Fortnite gets loud on the main menu too unless they fixed that

[devout hemlock]

what to play today im like a kid in a candy store

[tired hare]

Like this 100cm long and I hear the fans and I have dusty collector

[candid hull]

Are you an Insider?

[long maple]

I have my SeriesX plugged into a 22in TV right now, levelling up cars on Forza lol. so I can chat here and still have another screen for youtube 😄

[upper meteor]

[long maple]

might play Cocoon or Gris later though

[cerulean basin]

I definitely gotta try Cocoon

[tired hare]

I got a dust collector and Should I clean the fans and how I do this

[candid hull]

Hey Anchol, what did you think of Immortals of Aveum?

[cerulean basin]

The game designer is quite a genius. Comes from Playdead after Limbo and Inside, but then went to start his own projects. 140 is another pretty cool one.

[cerulean basin]

It's not a game I have tried, so I have no opinions on it.

[ornate canyon]

Guys I keep trying to dowload a game but is keeps saying 0.0 then installing stopped

[candid hull]

It looked really good and had good quality and story but I wonder if the 1st person pov had anything to do with it as opposed to if it was 3rd. Maybe same result maybe not

[pearl widget]

New server pop up feel free to join see if you like it

[long maple]

I played some of Aveum was having fun, but cause of it being a rental sat on my desk too long so I posted the game back cause other games I wanted to play

[candid hull]

I would've preordered aveum if it was 3rd person no questions

[cerulean basin]

Sharing links to other servers won't work here

Aww, cod why you give me this dilemma

[candid hull]

😂

[upper meteor]

Ok there's a few that I hate

1 halo 2
2 halo 5 (campaign)
3 roblox

But the game I absolutely despise is halo 2

[hollow hawk]

you can install muliplayer, or... multiplayer

[winter forum]

What? Halo 2 isn't that bad!

[candid hull]

Didn't halo 2 sell a million copies overnight? Lol

[cerulean basin]

You despising a Halo game, Icky? That's ridiculous!

[upper meteor]

Yeah I think

[gray coral]

why halo 2?? its not that bad

[halcyon stratus]

Icky are you going to start playing Overwatch 2 if they make a Spartan skin for like Cassidy and Zarya or a Cortana skin for Echo or Sombra?

[hollow hawk]

Lots of sales/downloads doesn't explicitly mean a good game, Roblox is one of the most popular platforms around and most of the games on it is shovel-ware and cash grabs by people who learned how to use the studio tools

[upper meteor]

I love the story but omg the gameplay and some mechanics are so broken lol

[candid hull]

Are we doing the same litmus test for elden ring then?

[upper meteor]

Of course

[gray coral]

“superhero tycoon (FREE ADMIN)”

[cerulean basin]

I'm taking note of this

[cinder veldt]

Both are installed, I need to uninstall one

[upper meteor]

Hi taking note of this, I'm Icky Spartan

Also Anchel add a Master Chief skin to avatar 😁

[vagrant mica]

One of them is the mw3 beta

[candid hull]

In the avatar game

[cinder veldt]

Wait really? Why would they give me that lol

[cerulean basin]

I have a feeling James Cameron would argue back against that

[vagrant mica]

the 28gb one

[upper meteor]

What

[gray coral]

If you’re an xbox insider i think they’ll give mw3 beta

[vagrant mica]

because it’s an install on the base game for some reason

Also open beta starts in an hour

[cinder veldt]

Did they just transform the old multiplayer install to the beta, because the 19 one I had to install yesterday for multiplayer to work (worked before)

[cinder veldt]

As in I can play?

[vagrant mica]

Yeah

[upper meteor]

Who's that and why would he be against such an amazing idea 😔

[cinder veldt]

Might give it a shot then

[candid hull]

He's the equivalent of rockstar studios ceo. Releasing a game every 2 decades

[upper meteor]

Ohhhh

[candid hull]

Except in hollywood. His movies were titanic and avatar 1, 2

[cerulean basin]

He's worked on more projects, but not as director

[candid hull]

Yea

[bright warren]

When is it to much Xbox games mine are at 600 not including game pass

[cerulean basin]

It's only too much if you'll never get to play them

[long maple]

oh hey Anchel you getting Sonic next week?

[cerulean basin]

Which pretty much puts most of us in that category I suppose

[halcyon stratus]

i have enough games that I'll never play them all, but I'm still going to get new ones 😛

[cerulean basin]

Yes! I actually pre-ordered already, I wanted that LEGO Robotnik 😛
Also saw one video review (IGN), found it interesting that they complain it's not fast enough.

[long maple]

well I am sure you know me by now, I have 100+ unplayed games but still buy new ones

[bright warren]

I finished all 6 of my banjo kazooie games

[bright warren]

Me too

[cerulean basin]

The original Sonic games were not even that fast all the time. They did have some fast moments, but there was a bigger emphasis in careful platforming. But ever since the Adventure games, it seems as if Sonic games need to be "hold right to win".

[cerulean basin]

6 Banjo Kazooie games? I never knew more than 4 of them...

[candid hull]

That's why the best way to go thru backlog is by order of most desired. Play the ones you want to play the most then work backwards

[cerulean basin]

I was actually watching a video analyzing the world design of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie this morning.

I'm definitely in the camp of "bigger didn't make it better" when it comes to Banjo Tooie. Fun game, but it went too far with the big levels and constant bactracking.

[long maple]

but with Game Pass every month there is something I want to play.. I will never clear my backlog just too much now and I am okay with it

[bright warren]

Banjo kazzoie robots 1 and replay version basically all the replay versions and there’s 3 banjo games plus 3 replays so 6 in total

[covert sleet]

Fellas what kinda gaming headset would you recommend for things like COD and Hell Let Loose?

[cerulean basin]

I actually have a couple of groups in Xbox for that. I have an "In progress" group to track games I've started AND I intend to finish someday, then one for "Must plays" where I order them by which ones I'm more interested in starting next.

I thought the Rare Replay versions were the same as the Xbox 360 versions

[tired hare]

Im excited Banjo-Thriee. I miss them.

[cerulean basin]

If you're looking for a wireless headset, I really like the Steelseries Arctis Nova 7X.

At this point I have zero hopes that we'll ever see a proper sequel to Banjo Tooie 😛

More likely to see a new Spyro game I would say

[sage ledge]

yea i missed banjo thriee it show e3 2000s on gamecube but sadly canceled or never seen til nuts and bolts

[vagrant mica]

steelseries is good but they break for me really easily. If you have a bigger head I wouldn’t suggest

[cerulean basin]

I refuse to call Nuts and Bolts Banjo Threeie

[tired hare]

yes. i want it.

[long maple]

yeah my son has Steelseries 3 years in now and the left-ear is going quiet. so thats going on the xmas list and he needs a new chair

never a cheap christmas in this house 😄

I am gonna buy that DualUp LG monitor this year just so I can get ready for a bigger TV

[silk mountain]

Nice I just got a new OLED, it's soo nice

[long maple]

yeah I am going OLED aswell

think the stand I use for this TV can support upto a 65in so will be fine getting anything around that size. although I am looking at 55in

[hollow hawk]

I might throw a fancy monitor on the Christmas wishlist and see what happens, though I absolutely don't have the cables for high refresh rates
Like 3/6 or so HDMI cables in my setup are cheap Amazon Basics ones, or just grisly old ones I got with the retro consoles I have.

[silk mountain]

Yeah I had to upgrade my cables to get HDR to work on 4k....

Even my displayport cable wasn't working with HDR which is weird

[undone frost]

I'm leaving Xbox bye

[hollow hawk]

I guess all I'd need are cables for my PC and Xbox, and the Xbox HDMI cable I'd assume is already 2.1. I suppose it wouldn't be an extreme stretch to go out and buy like 1 new cable for my PC, or finally go to using DisplayPort instead of HDMI for my PC

[hollow hawk]

This ain't an airport, no need to announce your departure 🛫

[silk mountain]

Yeah I didn't really upgrade my cables just used the ones included with my monitor and console

[undone frost]

Bro I joined Nvidia

[halcyon stratus]

The cable that comes with the X is 2.1. The one that comes with the S is 2.0

[halcyon stratus]

Nice! I haven’t used that very much

[undone frost]

Is better than Xbox because they didn't add touch screen

[desert birch]

Past lives couldn't ever hold me down
Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found
I've got the strangest feeling
This isn't our first time around

Past lives couldn't ever come between us
Some time the dreamers finally wake up
Don't wake me I'm not dreaming
Don't wake me I'm not dreaming

All my past lives they got nothing on me
Golden eagle you're the one and only
Flying high through the cities and the sky

[undone frost]

Touch controls

[hollow hawk]

Ah, so I guess I will be replacing it for the like 3 games that support 120FPS on the Series S

[silk mountain]

Usually monitor come with cables also

[halcyon stratus]

The cables that come with monitors are notoriously bad

[cerulean basin]

It's a work in progress when it comes to Game Pass cloud streaming. Some games do have touch controls, others do not. I still prefer to play with a controller, even when on mobile.

[undone frost]

Ok

[silk mountain]

Really? Mines seem to work better than the one's I was using LOL

[halcyon stratus]

I’d use touch controls to do simple things like play Starfield spaceship creation engine at work lol

[woeful sinew]

Hey, is it me or is gaming dry right now?

[desert birch]

Gotta make sure to add the games that support Ray tracing in series s

[silk mountain]

I just assume if it comes with the monitor it would pair well with the monitor

[halcyon stratus]

Or scan planets at work I guess

[undone frost]

I will play with Nvidia geforce untik Xbox do that

[hollow hawk]

More crappy wires for the bin!

[halcyon stratus]

It is just you.

[cerulean basin]

Does modifying spaceships work with direct touch input? Or is it just the usual "here's a virtual joystick and the usual buttons"?

[long maple]

yep loads of games out always something to play

[woeful sinew]

Any game recommendations? I’m tired of playing madden everyday.

[cerulean basin]

It's more alive than ever

[halcyon stratus]

Oh no I haven’t tried. I mean I’m thinking of things I’d use touchscreen controls for if I had time lol

[woeful sinew]

Maybe I’m just picky and won’t give games a try then

[halcyon stratus]

There are 500 games on game pass

[silk mountain]

How would the cables that come with the monitor be bad? I mean shouldn't they just work? How is any HDMI 2.0 spec cable any better

[woeful sinew]

Yeah but idk which ones are good. That’s why I asked for a recommendation 😂

[cerulean basin]

Yup, that must be it. Plenty of games of all sorts available these days, both paid and free to play, that cover almost every single type of game experience people may want.

[woeful sinew]

Please recommend me some.

[hollow hawk]

Assassin's Creed Mirage, Starfield, I recently picked up Deus Ex Mankind Divided (which might still be on sale right now)
Xbox has a surprise me button in the filter options in your game library, so if you have game pass you can hit that and get a new game, randomly picked

[woeful sinew]

Sweeeeet

[undone frost]

Well guy I guess this is my last times being here Goodbye everyone

[long maple]

well yeah you need to play other games, I was like you back on 360 played like 3 games. till one day I thought " I could be missing out on some great games " and now I have played over 1000.

[woeful sinew]

Thank you. I should give assassins creed a try. I’ve never played it.

[cerulean basin]

GeForce Now is a pretty good service. I've only tried it briefly, but it works quite well. I just happen to mostly play on the Xbox platform these days, and I already have Game Pass Ultimate, so I wouldn't need to subscribe to GeForce Now unless there was a very specific game I want to play on it.

[undone frost]

Oh ok

[cerulean basin]

I do wish more games were available for it though. Feels like every game I'd like to play via GeForce Now just isn't available yet

[long maple]

I need to resub to Ubi+ so I can finish Mirage. but had tons of bills come out and not able to re-purchase till this week

[undone frost]

Btw can someone remind me if Xbox will add touch screen

[cerulean basin]

Some games already have touch screen input

[undone frost]

True I just need msfs

[cerulean basin]

https://www.androidcentral.com/every-game-touch-controls-xbox-game-pass-android

[hollow hawk]

Been loving Mirage so far, it's a little slower paced in it's stealth style, but you could absolutely end up running through the streets from enemies who outpower you 5:1 lol

[mortal locust]

Xbox

[cerulean basin]

I do like that there is a return of the notoriety system from previous games, with even more improvements

[long maple]

theres over 100 games with Touch Screen on Xcloud

[silk mountain]

Really? wow

[undone frost]

K

[cerulean basin]

So while you can still technically complete the entire game just going aggro on every soldier, it's just going to make things unnecessarily annoying if suddenly the streets are full of elite guards that will become alerted the moment they spot you

[foggy dune]

.

[long maple]

yeah I struggled slightly, but good if you wanting to get all the gadget achievements completed

[summer raven]

Lies of p is so stressfull😅

[bright warren]

I don’t get how people be getting 10mbps I be getting 400😭

[cerulean basin]

Not everyone has access to the same internet speeds

[wraith imp]

is cod coming to gamepass next year?

[long maple]

no details yet, have to wait on the next announcement when Xbox are ready to share

[wraith imp]

ight

[cerulean basin]

I'll definitely try a campaign or two when it does

[long maple]

yeah only campaign I need is MW2 so gonna wait for that

[true plinth]

Good Saturday to everyone.

[lunar tartan]

With my Crohn’s I never feel 100% after eating but my body loved the Indian food so much

[long maple]

I own Vanguard and Cold War which were the other 2 I didnt finish

[true plinth]

Was thinking of making a microns / my Crohn's joke involving big pictures and loving food but I thought it was in bad taste....

But clearly this just means Kylie should.buy you more .

[long maple]

ah they dont have any of our local cars in Forza anymore.. there is a Morgan factory about 10mins from here. make a lot of 3 Wheelers

[cinder veldt]

There is unfortunately a lot of cars that went for motorsport, but hey we got some new ones which is nice ofc

[tired hare]

How is everyone feeling today

[long maple]

yeah nice to see the Rimac electric, it was in the Top Gear game that released awhile ago. pretty quick too

[tired hare]

mods do u have insider information on when activision games come to gamepass?

[cinder veldt]

Nobody would risk their job for that (if that mod in question would be working at xbox) 😆

[long maple]

nobody would know anything, the article from yesterday was news for Game Pass would be in the Coming Months so maybe 2024

[cinder veldt]

I wish for future to see more Volvo cars, but it’s possibly that actual volvo just don’t really want them there or contract costs

[tired hare]

cmon manh 😫

[long maple]

they already have Game Pass titles lined up for the next months

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, I wouldn't expect any Activision games to come to Game Pass till 2024

[cinder veldt]

We get activision games when swedish 3g goes down 😛

[tired hare]

ill quit gaming in 2024
thats my new years resolution

[long maple]

cool

I just do the same thing, complete more games from my backlog, yet it never happens

[cerulean basin]

To each their own.
Gaming is a fun hobby that, when in moderation, can be done while also having very productive lives

[tired hare]

gaming is literally my only weakness

i have literally conquered everything else

[night rapids]

Texas had a beautiful view of the Eclipse

[cerulean basin]

All a matter of planning. Set yourself when you can play for a few hours a week.

[long maple]

I sit at my desk all day, can game anytime I want yet I always end up doing something else

[night rapids]

I don't view gaming isn't a weakness, but everyone has their own views. Gaming has been very good to and for me

[tired hare]

ive tried. like a lot. once i start i cant stop

[cerulean basin]

Right now I would say Discord is my weakness 😛 Takes so much out of my time, distracts me when I should be doing other things.

[cinder veldt]

I remember when sweden got a solar eclipse once, I found out after because we were in a classroom without windows. But them we also have a solar eclipse lasting a few months soon

[tired hare]

when i am niot gaming i am thinking of gaming

[long maple]

I am "gaming" right now. levelling up cars in Forza. but its driving by itself on an oval track 😄

[night rapids]

For achievements I guess?

[long maple]

30 cars to max level which is 50. each car takes 3-4 hours. I cant literally drive myself would take forever

[cerulean basin]

That's fine. But it's good to also have other activities, sports, social, whatever, so you can mix with those. Keep yourself busy with other stuff so that you're not just gaming.

[cinder veldt]

I don’t even own 30 cars yet

[long maple]

yeah I keep buying them as I go along, only have about 6 cars. and 3 are now level 50

I can make dinner and do housework long as I press a button on the controller every 15mins otherwise it asks if you are still playing

[night rapids]

Skill issue /s

Obviously joking. I haven't even played the game yet. On the back burner until I get through the games for work first

[long maple]

but the kitchen is all clean now, and re-arranged some drawers. got a whole drawer now full of spices and stuff. instead of them being in a spice spinner that was taking up space

[gaunt kayak]

yes

[winter forum]

Big bag of this. I've considered uninstalling but often chatting in here is my only social circle. Not sure if it would be a good or bad thing to spend time away

[long maple]

oh I have hovered over the leave server many times but still here lol

[night rapids]

Sometimes I hide this server in another folder to not be tempted as much 😂

[winter forum]

Not necessarily leaving, just..."checking out"?

[cerulean basin]

Not you, Paul! 😮

[candid hull]

Same here. A few other skip ahead insiders don't have it either

[tired hare]

if you are indecisive, just ask the mods to ban you 😎

[cinder veldt]

They won’t

[long maple]

I been here for 7 years man. I dont know. always lurking as discord is open on a spare screen anyway

[winter forum]

I'm more grown up than that... Or like to think I am

[novel jungle]

Shut uo

[tired hare]

ofc they will

[gaunt kayak]

thats so Bad, first Club Features are gone, i am So happy to have the old App still installed to access Club ..and now this

[weary solar]

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

[novel jungle]

Shut up

[cinder veldt]

I have been here longer than you, I know they won’t when someone asks 😆

[tired hare]

real

[candid hull]

What club features?

[tired hare]

maybe if u annoy them a lot they might

[halcyon stratus]

I thgouht they just moved clubs somewhere else?

i never used them myself

[gaunt kayak]

xbox Club Features, to access you Club, to write, Post and edit your club

[cerulean basin]

You're more likely to get muted than to get banned straight away for being annoying

[tired hare]

u know thats how i got rid of my old friend circle who were a really bad influence

[winter forum]

Well you seem delightful

[tired hare]

pre 2022 i was a different guy 😭

[candid hull]

All i wanted was Microsoft Rewards integrated with Xbox insiders app

[west pebble]

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

[halcyon stratus]

insiders app?

[winter forum]

I'm flying home tomorrow

[halcyon stratus]

rewards and the insiders program have nothign to do with each other.... that woudl be a very strange merge

[cerulean basin]

I've definitely had to change groups of friends in the past because they were either not a good influence, or because they were really not clicking with me in all the wrong ways. I cut ties with them, was harsh for a while, suddenly being "groupless" in a small town where everybody knows everyone, but it was definitely for the better, long term.

[night rapids]

It's still rolling out from what I can tell. One of my accounts has it, the other doesn't yet

[long maple]

I left my friend group when I moved here that was 13 years ago.. I talk online now most the time. and all I need to do is go on Facebook cause they all on there.

[winter forum]

The best man at my wedding stopped talking to me afterwards. Usually my behaviour is pretty "x led to y" but this one I didn't understand. And I just have to accept I probably never will. Great bloke too, lot of shared silly memories. Just how it goes sometimes I guess

[limber carbon]

Been there and done that.

We don't bite...

[long maple]

[left hearth]

Is it possible to clip voice audio on xbox when playing a game like game chat?

[cinder veldt]

not without external hardware

[hushed haven]

song with a similar name that is good is "Go Your Own Way"

[west pebble]

I don't play any more too sweaty.

[west pebble]

[cinder veldt]

assume not even zero build and losing a few games worked?

[cerulean basin]

Never played Fortnite in any competitive modes. Just casual, mostly Zero Build. Haven't touched it since the Summer though.

[left hearth]

So everyone in here retired from fn

I played Fortnite with my Son but thats been years when we used to have our TVs in the same room

[left hearth]

How old is he now

[keen laurel]

I didn't leave my friend group, but rather moved away for Uni. When I got back and spent some time with them, I realized just how much I had changed. Just doesn't click much anymore

[hushed haven]

I will join it next year

[cinder veldt]

well I partially did

I play if Kat wants me to 😆

[hushed haven]

after my exams

[long maple]

he doesnt wanna play games with me, most recent game we played together though was Crew Motorfest.

[cerulean basin]

Ah, he's in that "Playing videogames with my dad is cringe" phase? 😛

[tired hare]

literally the best video game of all time imho

[cinder veldt]

what?

[long maple]

hes boring and just watches Crunchyroll, or plays Roblox/Minecraft

[civic kernel]

Hi

[keen laurel]

I miss the gaming with dad phase, me being the son

[hushed haven]

my favorite is mc

[long maple]

at the phase where every answer is " I dont know " whenever I ask him something 😄

[tired hare]

yall dads pplay video games 💀
mine actively persecutes me for turning on the playstation 😂😂

[cerulean basin]

Quite a bit of a stretch.
It definitely had a huge impact, and it's got an enormous amount of daily players, even today.
But it's a Battle Royale game. That hardly makes anything the "best game of all time". You could argue wether it is the best Battle Royal game, but even then...

[cinder veldt]

Preparing the food he asked for

[long maple]

yeah I have been gaming since the late 80's started when I was 5, not stopped since. lol

[hushed haven]

I want to taste it after cooked

[civic kernel]

Oi

[cerulean basin]

Well, my dad never played videogames. In fact he didn't like me playing videogames.
Now I made videogames my living and my dad happily talks to other people about how huge the industry is... 😛

[hushed haven]

you played those old games ?

[keen laurel]

There is no question tougher than "what do you want for dinner". I've had exam questions that are easier

[long maple]

yes all the old games, when they used to be on Cassette tapes

[hushed haven]

great... I miss them... though I used to play Mario....

[long maple]

I had an Amstrad CPC464, Gameboy, SNES, Mega Drive, PS1, Dreamcast, PS2. had a good time

[left hearth]

Bruh yall have dads who are playing games with yall damn bro why dad once played fifa w me when i first got a ps4 but i swear like i go out the whole day w my friends then come home eat and hop on xbox then my dad comes in the room and cusses at me why im playing 🧍‍♂️

[hushed haven]

lol

[winter forum]

My dad won't play video games 😦
We tried once with Scribblenauts unlimited and he got stuck with the fishing game

[hushed haven]

have anyone played the recent forza motorsport ??

[long maple]

I used to have tournaments with my dad on loads of Sports games. PGA Tour, ISS Pro, FIFA, Super Soccer, Super Tennis etc

[cerulean basin]

I once let my dad play Super Mario 3D Land on the 3DS.
He was confused as to why there were question mark blocks floating in the air, said it wasn't realistic... I gave up there.

[cinder veldt]

it's difficult

[tired hare]

you know what holds back fortnite today is the massive skill gap between players. the old map was extremely well designed, the building mechanics was such a gamechanger, the community was thriving, there were consistent and high quality updates EVERY SINGLE WEEK and most importantly you didnt have to grind for years just to land a solo win in a lobby without bots

[hushed haven]

now COD is going up

[cinder veldt]

I have

[limber carbon]

A lot of people have. Why?

[cerulean basin]

That's what skill-based matchmaking is for

[tired hare]

hello, it's todd howard. this is your daily reminder to play starfield today

[hushed haven]

just asking...

[hushed haven]

I don't want to play that

[tired hare]

i wasn't asking, boot starfield now!

[tired hare]

fortnite has skill-based matchmaking and thats why more than half the lobbies these days are bots

[hushed haven]

I will not..

[long maple]

you remember FIFA you could have full 90min matches. remember my Uncle coming over once and played a full game. that was fun.

[left hearth]

Bro the thing is i got a ps4 for like 300 plus dollars after a while it got loud, overheated, and overall just bad performance i hated xbox cause i was dumb obviously then i realised and got a series s, bro… 270 dollars + bundle in fn fall guys and rocket league + it does not overheat + it is NOT loud and it has double the performance

[tired hare]

@cerulean basin Yooo boss i see that youre Producer for the new avatar game. Dumb question but have you met james cameron 😂

james cameron is my hero

[hushed haven]

that's xbox

[long maple]

yeah I am taking December off to play Avatar and nothing else till its completed.

[hushed haven]

anyone know when will xcloud launch in india ?

[tired hare]

@cerulean basin yo how did you get your profile to look like that

[long maple]

no idea, you would have to wait till Xbox make announcements.

[hushed haven]

hmm

[cerulean basin]

Not yet in person, no. I work more with the Producer for the movies (Jon Landau) and their Production Designer Ben Procter.

[cerulean basin]

I think it's a Nitro perk at the moment in preview

[tired hare]

ty

[kind shadow]

Xbox want to buy Nintendo, or no?

[cerulean basin]

They've wanted to in the past at least

[tired hare]

not familiar with ben proctor but i know who Jon Landau thats really awesome

[kind shadow]

Yes xD

[long maple]

yeah in the past, and got laughed out the room.

[kind shadow]

Literally

[long maple]

trying to think if it was part of that youtube series Xbox put up or not.

[kind shadow]

But now? There arent rumors about that?

[cerulean basin]

Ben is pretty chill. Pays TONS of attention to detail, and he definitely asks for more feedback changes than he should, especially when he doesn't understand gameplay 😛 But he's still pretty open to suggestions and reaching solutions.

[hushed haven]

9+10 = ?

[cerulean basin]

It was even in the official Xbox 20th anniversary online museum and all, with an actual copy of the letter and all 😛
