[tired hare]

I’ve lost interest. I don’t want mw3

[elder adder]

It's gonna be fun

[hard zealot]

Dang

I don't blame you anyways, they're all the same games in a different branding lol

[merry palm]

[hard zealot]

Lol

[merry palm]

[long maple]

[tired hare]

Right but black ops was always better

[rapid kernel]

What color is my xbox one power brick supposed to be

[tired hare]

Black? Or grey? I can’t remember

[long maple]

yeah nothing in the sale for me, already own or have access to through other subscriptions

[elder adder]

It's been a while since I played xbox games so here's my opportunity to do what I do best play games and be alert

[tired hare]

That's something I forgot the Xbox One S did. It removes the power brank and the wire was built in.

[rapid kernel]

The light

[tired hare]

can u tell us about ur cultue

[merry palm]

[tired hare]

What kind of question is that? I'm weirded out.

[halcyon stratus]

My culture is scattered, smothered, covered, and chunked.

[merry palm]

[tired hare]

What kind of random question is that?

[desert sonnet]

[elder adder]

I never tried one of the dlcs for any of the xbox games so I gonna buy multiple things

[gray latch]

[elder adder]

Is exoprimal good it's about dinosaurs

[mellow roost]

It's extremely repetitive, and I'm not sure I would recommend it based on that alone. If you have Game Pass I'd try it out.

[little laurel]

Dungeon 4 is not bad...not bad at all.

[idle spear]

I thought exoprimal was alright but after doing the campaign I got bored

[mellow roost]

I started the first mission and was already kinda bored, then I saw the character I wanted to play as was a level 40 unlock and I was like, yeah nevermind. 😆

[cinder veldt]

I can't believe Minecraft is running playable on this old PC I built

[idle spear]

How far are you in the pass now?

[cinder veldt]

I'm done with the pass

[shy siren]

So re2 remake downloading so what yall think better re2 or re3

[idle spear]

Ah all the bonus stuff as well?

[cinder veldt]

Not the bonus stuff, but the base

[idle spear]

I still need to get all the gold skins

I probably need to chill with doing all these battle passes soon tho lol

[idle spear]

RE2 is better

[desert sonnet]

I'm waiting for Darktide to introduce a battlepass

[shy siren]

Ok

[desert sonnet]

I need my cosmetics for my veteran and ogryn 😫

[hearty plinth]

Re2. Re3 cut a lot of og content out. Plus 1 playthrough. Re2 has multiple playthrough as claire and leon. Nemesis felt scripted vs tryant. Re3 has no mercenary mode but re2 does

[tired hare]

Why can't I send screenshots?

[shy siren]

what is mercenary mode

[hearty plinth]

Did u ever play those in previous re games?

[shy siren]

I haven’t played resident evil in a long time the last one and only one I played was relevations I think

[tacit robin]

smh i only had to send one letter to santa and he knew i was nice 😉

[hearty plinth]

[narrow orchid]

Hello

[odd galleon]

So, any good deals for Black Friday?

[tired hare]

Why do I have call of duty on owned games? I never bought one?

How odd?

[cinder veldt]

Perhaps MW19, cold war is Mw22?

[tired hare]

It just says Call of Duty R

Call of duty hq? What is it lol

[cinder veldt]

Then that's just warzone 2.0 or a trial of either MW2 or MW3

[tired hare]

Ima download it n see what it’s about 😅😂

[cinder veldt]

It's about size

[mellow roost]

Call of Duty runs off a hub now. Downloading the free one is just Warzone, I think.

[cinder veldt]

Warzone has always kinds had a base game, and it looks like you own it when you claim warzone

[tired hare]

Damn I’m downloading Warzone!? 😅😂🤣

[cinder veldt]

Well I told you

[tired hare]

Well I can’t stop now! 😅

[halcyon stratus]

Installing a launcher inside another launcher is lunacy.

MCC not withstanding!

[tired hare]

They have dark alliance on this! 😄

I remember playing a baldurs gate dark alliance

I can’t believe it

But I can download warzone seperate I’m so confusion

[trail harness]

drove past the aftermath of a house fire with an active investigation underway... I assumed the worst because of how bad it looked but I saw in the local news that nobody was hurt.

[fresh kraken]

guys for series s obviously youll need a hrd drive at some point ,do you have to format the hdd to make it compatible with the xbox?

[trail harness]

The Xbox itself will likely format it for you. This is how external drives on most consoles work in my experience.

[versed swan]

i once passed by a house with a man in a hazmat suit putting on a "do not enter" sign on the door

[trail harness]

yikes that's scary

[vestal cypress]

Standard hoarder stuff sounds like

[versed swan]

it was an odd sight for sure but besides the sign the house looks normal

[trail harness]

looks can be very very deceiving... and if someone was using hazmat ppe to go in it I would stay away

[tired hare]

🙀

Bought state of decay the first one cuz I’ve seen it be on lists of Xbox games u might not be able to buy after the 360 store closes

[trail harness]

AFAIK most hoarders don't end up creating situations calling for hazmat ppe

[balmy pawn]

I bought FC 24, I’ve been playing for hours with the disk in my Xbox and now it’s telling me my trial expired???

[foggy skiff]

can't

[tacit robin]

restart the game/console try again reinstall the disc

[tacit robin]

all that for 79.99$ is really good but the 3 discs lol

[tired hare]

Nope.

Well after it’s been through like a lot of stages where some users have used it here, only then after do we have a toggle 😆

[tacit robin]

why

what does it do?

[mellow roost]

So far I haven't seen anything that would be related to their "oh in two weeks we're dropping a feature everyone has been asking for."

[obsidian kayak]

This notch thin in top of new iPhone is cool. Contained a private dm changing screenshot prob shouldn’t post private dms

[sage ledge]

who is liked the steam deck oiled screen

[tired hare]

to be fair, a feature like that

https://tenor.com/view/it-just-works-tod-todd-howard-тоддговард-fallout-skyrim-gif-14803660

[obsidian kayak]

It displays stuff your doing like if your listening to music and you can tap the notch to jump back into that app for example if your on a call

[versed swan]

probably, it would be inconvenient for rules channels

[tired hare]

IT JUST WORKS (Todd Howard once said...again....and again....and again....and again at e3 2018)

[tacit robin]

ah see thats handy i wish all there ideas were usefull things.

[versed swan]

the only thing they added after that "we're dropping something awesome next week" thing was... the 2 weeks nitro trial

[versed swan]

hey thats me!

[obsidian kayak]

Or you can hold on it to get like options without leaving the app your in

[sage ledge]

you just show the chat and switch to music

[cinder veldt]

But why is discord so good at adding features we didn’t really ask for

[trail harness]

[versed swan]

by diablo, do you mean diablo immortal or diablo 4?

[lapis jungle]

4

[versed swan]

okay, bizarre

[lapis jungle]

Yeah I usually play on my ipad later in the night (with my controller) just cause I get lazy and want to sit in bed and play. Loaded it up yesterday and it gave me the option to continue with basic touch. Played all night without it disconnecting me or anything so I was like wow nice

[hearty plinth]

even if u did remote play it would asked you to connect a controller tbh

[lapis jungle]

It does, but usually it has the 2nd option below it that says "continue anyway" except last night it was "continue with basic touch"

Either way good to know, now I don't have to go crazy trying to figure out how to get it to work LOL. Thanks again

Imagine Playing Halo on the go

[orchid furnace]

sucks out battery too quick

[surreal hamlet]

Not with my internet 😎

[orchid furnace]

thats why I want a dedicated concole

[mellow roost]

Dedicated handhelds don't have good battery lives either.

[kind heron]

Charge your phone while you’re playing. You don’t need to be playing a game while walking.

[orchid furnace]

like the switch is too nintendo

I know one exists where you can play gamepass

but what about all your other digital games

that you bought

[mellow roost]

I think they're trying to make all your owned games streamable, but there's been nothing about it in over a year so maybe they stopped.

[orchid furnace]

yeah maybe they ran into some hicups

[long maple]

ah it wasnt all games was just selected games

[orchid furnace]

do you think Lego games will be added at some point?

[long maple]

no idea. nobody knows till theres announcements

plans change though, likely moving onto something else.

Yeah they just bought Blizzard so they're probably focused on bigger things lol

Quick question about 3rd party unlicensed controllers

[surreal hamlet]

Quick answer about 3rd party unlicensed controllers

[warm trellis]

Will the work in the home menu but not in game, I just picked up a razer atrox and it's not working in games

Will unlicensed controllers do this? It is possible it could have been a modified stick since it's used

[long maple]

there was a list of controllers that worked which came out before the changes happened

[warm trellis]

This is a licensed controller unless the inner board is modified

Is this how an unlicensed controller acts though

[surreal hamlet]

I think if it's unlicensed it tells you it won't work?

[warm trellis]

Hm

Well it works on peggle so it's not broken

It's some kind of BS that I can't apply a conditional format to multiple sheets at once in Libre Office. Do any of you know if this limitation is standard in other spreadsheets?

[idle spear]

I find Google sheets easier to use

I think I’ve done that there before

[vague helm]

Nahhh they done added Fortnite vc reporting and restricted skins 💀💀

[thorn vapor]

I dare you to Google one singular . On Google

[gray latch]

[thorn vapor]

Hello moderated

[mellow roost]

What's so bad about that?

[tame smelt]

That only for rated E gamemodes and well obviously voice chat can be reported

[cyan quiver]

i agree with the restricted skins being outrageous but i don't agree with the VC reporting

[limpid flicker]

Normally I use Google Sheets and encourage anyone I collaborate with to do so. But some (people) always tryna ice-skate uphill, and so they sent me an ODS.

[tame smelt]

Restricted skins isn't bad y'all over reacting you can still use them

[cyan quiver]

i'm certain that 90% of the skins have some form of weapon like a gun or a knife, so blocking that many in E games? ludicrous

[thorn vapor]

I dare you to Google one singular dot on Google

[mellow roost]

All the most popular modes seem to be T-rated (meaning no restriction), and being able to report people is almost always a plus.

It's kind of a non-issue.

[limpid flicker]

I have no idea what that would do, or the connection...
If you literally mean . I think they'd regard it as unsearchable.

[thorn vapor]

They won’t

[limpid flicker]

To my surprise I get results about full stop vs period.

[halcyon stratus]

and a bunch of meme stuff where people used the words "full stop" to tag dumb "jump scare" images

[limpid flicker]

I also found out that I shouldn't do the same search on YouTube. Apparently.

[thorn vapor]

Yes

NEVER DO IT ON BING

[halcyon stratus]

boring memes are boring

bing doesn't integrate video in to its default feed so all you're gonna get there are defintions and grammar lessons

[thorn vapor]

Exactly

[halcyon stratus]

so....

why should I "never do it" ?

[thorn vapor]

Idk

[mellow roost]

All I've seen from a search is just some old memes and those made-up creepy videos.

Kind of a nothing-burger, honestly.

[thorn vapor]

Nah I meant never search a single . On the dark web

[mellow roost]

Already been there, you won't find anything.

[thorn vapor]

WHAF

You said “been there done that”

I don't go to the dark web in the first place. Seems like a good way to find things I don't want to find.

To go in there you just need a strong antivirus

Yea I be on YouTube saying a funny meme and the next vid is someone’s cat dying

[mellow roost]

Trillion at this point, but yeah, same rules apply. Don't click stupid links.

[limpid flicker]

I haven't used an antivirus other than what is built in and the ocasional MBAM scan in years. Some people seem to think that means I live on the edge, I'm like ...meh.

MalwareBytes is pretty good, yeah.

[desert sonnet]

Dang Sol. Be careful

[hollow hawk]

I need to figure out how to explain to my Dad that Norton is not worth his money anymore

the definition of crapware AV besides maybe Protogent

It hasn't been worth the money since before you were born, that's the funny thing. I barely remember when Norton made anything worth using.

[halcyon stratus]

Uhh no. I meant just dumb memes. Dont get weird.

[mellow roost]

Yeah I don't understand why Norton, not to mention McAfee as well, are things people still refuse to move on from.

[halcyon stratus]

Mcafee is a role model

[warm trellis]

Turns out the razer atrox is just alot more restrictive than the panthera, only working on certain games

[thorn vapor]

How is that weird?

[limpid flicker]

John McAfee sure is a guy... I'm just fascinated by him.

[short mantle]

Didn’t he die?

[mellow roost]

Wilds Hearts is really fun but if you have multiple things connected to your EA account, it'll show those names...

...much to my shock and horror.

"Pwnage5ince1337 joined the game."

Yeah thanks for listing the name of an account I'm not even signed into, let alone use or have access to. That was such a big ick.

[limpid flicker]

Could be, but not before... saying and doing things which will live in infamy. 😅

[short mantle]

https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/23/tech/john-mcafee-death

[warm trellis]

Common xbox accessory L tho, the razer panthera and razer atrox are basically sister products but the panthera is so much more useful

[limpid flicker]

Is that what your old Discord got renamed to?

[warm trellis]

Literally the only thing the panthera doesn't do is work on an xbox. I was hoping the atrox could work on non fight stick games too

[mellow roost]

Nah, that's an old account from like 2009 that I haven't accessed in roughly the same amount of time. I'm gunna try to get it removed, but I'm struggling to even open a ticket. EA's support website is very unhelpful in terms of user experience.

Kinda blows my mind that it would show your name as every linked Xbox account. When I join and my name shows up, it goes from that one, to my current account, then to my character name. Really put me off the game.

In other news, EA finally lets you change your ID, so no longer do I have the cringe username that I made when I was, like, 11.

[half hazel]

I can buy 54 Chipotle burritos with 543 dollars

Less if I decide to get queso
I love queso

[trail coyote]

If I'm wanting to get additional storage for my xbox series s, do I go for an external ssd or external hard drive? Also where should I get them and which brands are trustable?

[trail harness]

these colors remind me of Bocchi the Rock

Bocchi app store lol

[mellow roost]

What phone is that?

[half hazel]

If you get an external ssd/hdd you won't be able to play series x and s games on it
You'll need to get a Seagate expansion card iirc

[merry palm]

The best choice is an expansion card. But if you don't mind moving things back and forth you can use another kind of drive to store games

[trail harness]

OnePlus 11 5G

[merry palm]

Like a closet, basically

[mellow roost]

https://tenor.com/view/memory-no-memory-where-am-i-memories-harry-potter-gif-5385535

[mellow roost]

Interesting.

[trail coyote]

How much are they roughly and where should I look to buy one?

[merry palm]

Can't play directly, no. But external drives can be used to store games.

[mellow roost]

Damn, not bad at all.

[merry palm]

At a significant price savings sometimes. Depends on needs and budget

[trail harness]

its a flagship model

[half hazel]

Yeah makes sense

[hollow hawk]

There's a Skylanders Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Trigger Happy figure that were handed out to people before E3 2011 that'll go for $700+ in box
Does that statue work as an Amiibo figure by chance?

[trail coyote]

Id preferably like to play games that support x/s enhanced features and whatever, and I have like £100 I'm willing to spend but I'm aiming for a 1tb card

[tired hare]

[insert random screaming]

[merry palm]

Again. You can use an external drive, but you would have to transfer the games to the console if you wanted to play the newest things :)
And at that price point, it's probably your best bet

[mellow roost]

Just to be clear, it's not normal for charger bricks to get hot enough to feel like they're a few degrees away from being actually able to burn you, right?

[surreal hamlet]

Probably not no

[trail harness]

it is not normal at all no

[mellow roost]

Yeah didn't think so.

[trail coyote]

How do u transfer? And does it take a lot of time or is it like a couple second loading thing

[tired hare]

I actually want to look up the price of external drives for Xbox One titles

[surreal hamlet]

That gonna become an r/hardwaregore post real quick if you don't trash it

[trail harness]

massive heat is a sign of a possible short circuit.

[half hazel]

I miss skylanders

[merry palm]

Afaik. It's pretty quick?

[trail harness]

aka bad...

[tired hare]

holy crap you can get a 2 TB drive for 60 bucks

[leaden obsidian]

there expensive

[cyan quiver]

i've seen a 12TB HDD for $120

[tired hare]

I meant the external drive.

[thin nimbus]

What determines the size of a game? Some games are big in size and some games are only 10gb or even lower

[trail harness]

assets mostly

[tired hare]

how much content they can shove into it. Especially games with a multiplayer mode.

[trail harness]

more textures, larger textures etc increase the size

[half hazel]

Map size as well afaik

[leaden obsidian]

at least i will never have to delete games again

[half hazel]

Delete uno

[trail harness]

yep because more data

[gray coral]

bold of you to assume that

[leaden obsidian]

its annoying to delete with slow wifi so the 4tb is a life saver

[half hazel]

Does uno really come with an xbox

[trail coyote]

What and where should I look for

[merry palm]

I don't understand the question

[trail coyote]

What external ssd should I look for like what brand or whatever, and what website can I trust to look through to find one

[leaden obsidian]

those 2k games tske up like 1tb of it somehow

[trail harness]

most ssds on the market are decent enough

[merry palm]

Oh . I have no idea tbh
I'd assume whatever big name brands are out there

[trail harness]

just avoid brandless and knockoffs

[leaden obsidian]

or overpriced

[trail harness]

and if a price seems too good to be true... it probably is

[cyan quiver]

unless you get lucky on Black Friday

[leaden obsidian]

lots of scams on there so id just do research on yt or sum like that

[trail harness]

can always just buy an ssd at walmart

[merry palm]

I'd probably just get a Seagate drive to match my PC one.. but that's just pure laziness on my part lol

[leaden obsidian]

they had a 12 ssd there

[trail harness]

Counterfeit items are way less of a worry when you buy from a physical store

[trail coyote]

no Walmart in the UK afaik

[leaden obsidian]

it wss like 400 where im from

[trail harness]

I'm sure there's an equivalent

[trail coyote]

Is amazon a bad place to look for an external ssd

[leaden obsidian]

i like going big cuz deleting games are a pain

[merry palm]

Nope

It's a great spot to look

[trail coyote]

Alright thank you

[trail harness]

but you need to know how to spot scams

[leaden obsidian]

do research on yt or sum

[trail harness]

make sure the seller isn't sus before buying

[leaden obsidian]

who scams with ssds tho

[halcyon stratus]

How fast is your internet?

[leaden obsidian]

unless its faulty or sum like thst

[trail harness]

scammers target tech like ssds all the time

[merry palm]

Awww omg grogu drive

[full sapphire]

does xbox live still exist

[merry palm]

No

[leaden obsidian]

lmao

[full sapphire]

because imt rying to change my payment to it, but i cant find it on my subscriptions

[sage ice]

game pass now

[leaden obsidian]

i think its up settings but a quick yt settings would help

[merry palm]

I should have bought the pride one when I had a chance 😭

[trail harness]

Guess that depends on how one defines still existing. Sorry ping

[merry palm]

Xbox live isn't a thing now. Look for it under a different name

It's not the same thing :)

[cyan quiver]

oh they made a LED starfield hard drive too

[merry palm]

Yep!

[hollow hawk]

Xbox Online, XOL

[spice island]

My Xbox shut off for being "too hot" but it's ice cold

[trail harness]

Xbox Network also works

[limpid flicker]

It was funny, yeah. I guess I should say I'm fascinated by some specific stories about him. 😅

[thorn vapor]

My usb isn’t working

[trail harness]

it seeming to be cold doesn't mean the internals aren't hot

[merry palm]

😭

that is a cool looking drive

[tired hare]

btw, you can use any 2TB external hard drive

[hollow hawk]

this is the end

[spice island]

I was playing GTA V it has no reason to be hot

[merry palm]

I could use any yes.. but ooo rainbows

[hollow hawk]

the pride hard drive is unavailable, my life is ruined

[trail harness]

what?

[tired hare]

Here's a HDD from Office Depot for 60

[hollow hawk]

what a link, and for Google ad services

[merry palm]

That's uh.. a link and a half

[full sapphire]

found it. its now just called xbox game pass core

[trail harness]

Lol its a link from an ad

[hollow hawk]

https://linkcleaner.app

[tired hare]

fixed

[merry palm]

Delete from the question mark onward

And that's all people need

[halcyon stratus]

Sometimes.
In this case sure.

[trail harness]

there was also a redirect in that link so that would not have worked here

[merry palm]

Yes in this case lol

[hollow hawk]

https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/5113523/Western-Digital-Drive-2TB-Midnight-Blue/

[merry palm]

From the edited**** link. People. Smh

[tired hare]

the drive doesn't need to be a Seagate. Seagate, while they are good at making storage drives, unfortunately are an expensive brand.

[merry palm]

I like the rainbow one

Bc rainbows.

[hollow hawk]

Every brand is expensive nowadays

[trail harness]

I have a 10 TB external I use for my PC

[tired hare]

You can also reflect on the fact that for Xbox Series X, it was proprietary (which is something people hate, and I should know, my friend had a Vita and always ranted about it) compared to the M.2 SSD PS5 would use, and then WD made their own version of the card, which was cheaper

[halcyon stratus]

The top tier drive manufacturea are more expensive than budget ones for a reason

[tired hare]

it's effective, but the guy asked for a 2TB for an Xbox One. He's good here. Doing the math you can probably install close to 20 games that are 100GB each

[merry palm]

I'll pick a reputable brand with good customer service over a budget brand for something expensive

Might save me in the long run

Frustratingly.. my graphics card is EVGA lol
So that will be fun to replace eventually. Hopefully it doesn't fail early

[trail harness]

its often cheaper to buy something good right off the bat than to have to replace a subpar quality unit later

[tired hare]

I would reccomend it, especially for accessories. HDD are very simple devices to make. I own a couple of HDD from W2 for my computer, it's good.

Now I wonder... I might merge one of the HDD's I have and put all the data on the other, and then use that for storage.

[merry palm]

The fancy looking ones are expensive, but Seagate does have cheaper ones :)
I just like pretty things'

[trail harness]

HDDs aren't as simple to make as you make it sound like. They have quite tight tolerances and require precision.

[cyan quiver]

well...what is it?

[tired hare]

But it's an old storage drive that I would want to use, so I am hoping it's not something like 250 GB, that would be a waste of my time. All I could do is install 2 games on it. Lame

I think it's a 1TB, so it would be somewhat effective

[halcyon stratus]

I suggest never reusing old drives.

[foggy skiff]

hi

[trail harness]

luxury items basically

[halcyon stratus]

Drives have lifespans. You’re setting yourself up for failure.

[tired hare]

I hardly ever use it and it does work. I just tried it a few weeks ago, but I should move the data over to the newer one.

[merry palm]

3070. Not terribly important what it is...given the whole..them not making any anymore thing

[cyan quiver]

3070 will probably last a while

[opal trench]

I’m in utter disbelief that migrating my Xbox One External Drive to an Xbox Series X didn’t require any setup. Credit to Microsoft for being as epic as Apple in that regard!

[merry palm]

They have lifespans like any other tech

[trail harness]

I have a really old HDD with bad sectors. I might just write garbage data to it until it kicks the bucket for fun.

[tired hare]

[spice island]

My console's fan didn't even rev up before "overheating"

[tired hare]

[spice island]

Hopefully it was just a one off bug

[tired hare]

I really, really, really want a Series X. I almost want to sing a song about it

[merry palm]

Got mine in 2021.. so hopefully I have a good 3+ years left lol

[spice island]

I want a mid-gen upgrade

[opal trench]

Wait until Black Friday. You’ll get a damn good deal.

[merry palm]

Maybe

I don't think the sales will really be that steep for a console

My opinion ofc. I don't have insider knowledge lol

[halcyon stratus]

Phil said no

[opal trench]

Got a Diablo IV bundle off of Amazon with COD MW3 included for free, only was $719 AUD as opposed to $958 AUD had I bought them undiscounted.

[merry palm]

So.. baso 50 dollars off American /hj

Poor Aussies and the tech costs :(

[opal trench]

The console was discounted from $849 AUD to $719 AUD. So, pretty good deal all things considered.

[mellow roost]

Saving almost $300 is pretty sweet, but yeah, Australian tech costs are wild.

[merry palm]

I basically double everything in my head to figure out what things cost for them lol

[opal trench]

Yeah… New games are $109.

[mellow roost]

Turkey is even worse, I think their electronics tax or whatever it is comes out about the same as the total cost of the product, so you basically pay double.

[frank glacier]

Does anybody know how to fix Xbox crashing?

And remember when there were region locks!

[cyan quiver]

and the game censoring

[opal trench]

We still have that nonsense.

Granted, Hotline Miami 2 got remade so at least it can be purchased digitally and in store.

[halcyon stratus]

No.

You’ve been here long enough to have seen Rule 12 mentioned dozens of times

[thin nimbus]

I didn't know it's in that category because youtubers has talked about it and articles so I wasn't aware

[limpid flicker]

I could think of several YouTube channels whose entire content output is Rule 12.

[mellow roost]

Unfortunately, some YouTubers and game journalists report on things that aren't condoned by Xbox all the time.

[modern shoal]

I like men

[steep dust]

Hi

[mellow roost]

Blows my mind that people are being recommended things that will flat out get people banned.

[halcyon stratus]

Cool. This isn’t a dating site though

[halcyon stratus]

Or things that will physically break their products

[opal trench]

As could I in all honesty. Just because a YouTuber says it’s a good idea, Doesn’t mean doing it actually is.

[modern shoal]

I know

And why is my name owy_necro?

[mellow roost]

Bot is trying to make your name follow our rules.

[limpid flicker]

Or... maybe it's only a good idea if you have experience, skill, and most importantly the willingness to write off your losses when it goes wrong.

[thin nimbus]

Yeah sorry I wasn't trying to break that rule

[trail harness]

Well, I've seen potentially ToS breaking stuff being sold in game stores so... doesn't surprise me much

[modern shoal]

I would like to know what’s wrong with Shadowy_Necro like bit— tell me

[mellow roost]

Wacky fonts aren't taggable, that's literally the entire issue. Your name is fine.

[opal trench]

Same on my end. Just got caught up in the excitement of the new system.

[modern shoal]

Alr I’ll change it bet but like they can’t tell me that it needs to be changed?

[halcyon stratus]

It did tell you lol

[gray latch]

it was in the rules you agreed to on joining

[mellow roost]

I'm telling you, your username is fine, it was the wild font that was the problem. Just reset your nickname and you're golden.

[halcyon stratus]

By changing it that was the notice lmao

[limpid flicker]

They... can tell you it needs to be changed if you wanna stay. You have the other option if you don't like that.

[modern shoal]

No it didn’t

[gray latch]

#rules

[old sapphire]

Half Life free on Steam don’t miss it

[versed swan]

that was a mistake that ended hours ago, look again

[opal trench]

Now just to transfer my games off of the Xbox One Hard Drive on to my external HDD and it’ll be golden.

[modern shoal]

Well if they had a problem they could of told me bout it but never did oh and nice ur pan

[trail harness]

I already have every game Valve has made on Steam so I'm set

[halcyon stratus]

Anyway I need dinner but I’m tired of ordering food but I also don’t have time to make anything 😦

[thin nimbus]

So a lesson here is not to trust youtube or articles

[mellow roost]

You're making it out to be bigger than it is. You weren't in trouble, your name just got messed up due to the font.

[halcyon stratus]

Yes that is a very valuable lesson

[trail harness]

Critical thinking needs to be applied... and grains of salt.

[opal trench]

And oh how glad I am to not have to install The Master Chief Collection again…

[odd galleon]

Is there an app to buy digital Xbox games by any chance? I tried both the main and gamepass one, but saw nothing

[mellow roost]

Discord's stupid very fantastic update to their naming system broke all name bots, so unfortunately, names can sometimes get screwed up.

[limpid flicker]

Oh I'm sorry, I misunderstood your comment. I took "They can't tell me" to be like... you didn't like it, you know? I realise now what you meant. And yes, I am. 🙂

[opal trench]

Seriously. The fact that was a 180 GB install off the disc is something else.

[trail harness]

Not very big when you consider the amount of content in it as a whole

[limpid flicker]

Master Chief collection = half full Series S, though...

[cyan quiver]

is it half full, or half empty though?

[limpid flicker]

(I am aware you can choose to install only part of the content, if anyone wanted to tell me.)

[opal trench]

This is why I have HDDs for both my PS5 and (now) XBOX Series X.

[whole garnet]

holy my freaking library is gone

[west pebble]

Oh my god!

[halcyon stratus]

Just wait or reboot it is fine

[whole garnet]

I already rebooted

[opal trench]

Were you trying to move games between drives?

[whole garnet]

this happened before and after a day it came back but now it’s gone

now my entire theme and everything is gone what??

[viral bronze]

Bro guys. How different is Xbox subscription to PS plus?

[halcyon stratus]

Very

[viral bronze]

Like in terms of multiplayer gaming

[mellow roost]

@whole garnet No platform wars.

[limpid flicker]

Well, you do need some subscription to play multiplayer (paid games) on both... that's not different.

[whole garnet]

it’s same

[halcyon stratus]

For the subscriptions I do find my game@pass ultimate subscription to be a better value than my ps plus subscription. I get more stuff for the same money

[viral bronze]

Oh ok. Worried coz got told otherwise

[whole garnet]

do not believe dem

[mellow roost]

Nothing they've said is false.

[viral bronze]

Just wondering do u guys have experience with ps plus or nah?

[halcyon stratus]

Yes

[whole garnet]

well in my opinion it is

[mellow roost]

Facts can't be opinions.

[viral bronze]

Aight so I’ll be able to have the same multiplayer options on Xbox as I would on PlayStation without the subscriptions??

[whole garnet]

it is facts

[mellow roost]

Your opinions aren't facts either.

[viral bronze]

?

[whole garnet]

well my opinion is a fact because my opinion on the fact is that is it true

[halcyon stratus]

Dude slow down. I was typing an answer.

[viral bronze]

Aight mb bruh 🤣

[halcyon stratus]

People need more than 15 seconds to reply.

[viral bronze]

Yeh alright bruh. Coz I couldn’t see anyone typing so thought I got ignored.

[mellow roost]

It takes a pretty unreasonable amount of time before the client actually shows someone is typing.

I looked over at my partner's phone when I was typing once and it was quite literally like 15 seconds before it showed I was typing (or finished typing) on their screen.

[viral bronze]

Damn

[fluid creek]

30 seconds after posting is not an acceptable amount of time to be nervous.

[viral bronze]

Aight chill guys. I wasn’t nervous it wasn’t that deep. I was just making sure my message didn’t get lost 💀

[mellow roost]

It was wild to watch. I had already sent my message and it was still going.

[viral bronze]

Damn

Love this as it represents the animal crossing experience perfectly for me (I loved filling out the museum collection up until the last 2 fossils)

[viral bronze]

@halcyon stratus just wondering if ur still typing ur answer lad

[halcyon stratus]

Event streams to carry “is typing” info are actually really hard to scale if your clients are on the public internet

[trail harness]

I feel like making a spinning ball animation out of this... or at least attempting to for fun

[short mantle]

PS doesn’t add their exclusives day one to the service like Xbox. That’s the biggest difference.

[dark sparrow]

Me after I do a little trolling:

[fluid creek]

p sure he gave up becasue of your impatience lol

[halcyon stratus]

I am absolutely that petty.

[viral bronze]

So anyone else wanna help or nah

[opal trench]

I do. PS Plus is a far inferior service.

[short mantle]

I just replied

[viral bronze]

Mb bro I just reopened the app. Thanks tho

[viral bronze]

@short mantle was more concerned about this tho, would u happen to know or nah?

[halcyon stratus]

I don’t know if Pengi is saying that I am very petty or if he is agreeing that he is too lmao

[opal trench]

Yes. You can’t use Online Multiplayer on either service without paying.

[fluid creek]

yes

[halcyon stratus]

Wait “or both” lol

[short mantle]

You can play single-player and F2P games without a subscription.

[open flume]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-por-que-no-los-dos-yey-gif-15089379

[viral bronze]

R the multiplayer restrictions on Xbox different to PlayStation at all without subscriptions tho?

[opal trench]

Well. All three in some cases. PS, XBOX and Switch.

[halcyon stratus]

I hate Christmas decorating

My hands are bruised and two of my fingers are bleeding and I spent 45 minutes doing this - and I need to do it 4 more times

Addressable rgb pixels inserted in to a corrugated plastic frame… once I program in the models ill@be able to make them do motions like spinning and stars and stuff

Like 85 pixels per 2 foot “ornament” so should be an interesting new effect to add this year

[open flume]

ok im jealous. i been watchin videos on how to make programmable light shows

the ole theatre kid in me is jonesing

[fluid creek]

penguin then: haha you suck

penguin now: no wait that's cool

[wicked flax]

okay, got my batch of black friday games

[halcyon stratus]

I had to add a new controller… my existing ones don’t have enough channels for one of the other things I’m trying to build this weekend. This one has 4 separate 350 watt power supplies in it

Technically the processor in this one can support around 82k pixels. But heat would be a problem and I’d have to inject power in so many places that it wouldn’t make sense anyway

oh you're a theater kid, okay, welll think "684 DMX universes" lol

coke freestyle machines are great

[obsidian kayak]

Fanciest looking jack in the box ever lol

Just realized it finally finished uploading 30mins later lol but was changing comment

[obsidian kayak]

Yah

[versed swan]

god im so tired and worried that my imagination made me think i typed up something long and sent it somewhere

so for about 2 minutes i was wondering what i typed and where

[tired hare]

I hated that you couldn't play F2P on Xbox until AFTER the Series X released.

[versed swan]

i could be wrong but weren't cloud saves on 360 also paywalled?

[tired hare]

I dunno. I'll admit, I'm happy that Xbox has that.

[halcyon stratus]

i think originally you had to have xbox live to do anything online yea?

[cyan quiver]

too bad a lot of restaurants are getting rid of self-serve drink machines

[halcyon stratus]

a random page on the internet saves they become free when Xbox One came out

[tired hare]

I'm going to be the stupid one here (because I get blasted for saying this 30,000 times to people), and I'm going to tell people that even if I got the Series X or S, I would still have and use my Xbox One? Why? Because I still play 360 games actively, and it's good to use in a second room (which is my bedroom), while I have the Series X in the living room.

[halcyon stratus]

many people have multiple consoles, yes

[tired hare]

I often think about the what if scenario in which I had an Xbox 360 or PS3 instead of a Wii.

[versed swan]

my least favorite practice in all of gaming is paywalling cloud saves, and im sad that out of all the complaints nso gets that paywalling cloud saves is one that isn't criticized as much

[halcyon stratus]

Oh here is an article with a date... October 13, 2020. That's... way more recent than I thought

https://www.ign.com/articles/xbox-360-users-are-getting-free-cloud-saves-to-transition-to-xbox-series-xs

[tired hare]

yeah and people kept telling me that they didn't understand it and I should get rid of the Xbox One after I got the Series X. Even had people tell me to get rid of it if I got the PS5. Nobody gets it. And then whenever I bring up Xbox and buying one I keep getting dragged into "get a PC"

[halcyon stratus]

Huh? Nintendo gets nothing but criticism about their subscriptions

[tired hare]

I tell them that I would like to get a PC but there are reasons why I would want an Xbox Series X AND a PC.

[limpid flicker]

I would probably unsub from PS Plus altogether if they would stop paywalling cloud saves.

[halcyon stratus]

okay well ignore them

[tired hare]

All I can say is PC is complicated to start into. I would actually need to buy a desk and equipment, and not as easy and out of the box like you could a console.

[limpid flicker]

You don't have... a table?

[tired hare]

I have tables, but they aren't for a PC. Not a desktop

[limpid flicker]

Computer desks aren't magic, they're just a flat surface you can put stuff on.

[zinc glacier]

Can anyone reccomend me a good prebuilt Pc brand?

[tired hare]

Lenovo Legion only bc Lenovo is a good PC brand, and the PCs are decent.

[halcyon stratus]

My stomach is a flat surface.
Is it a table?

[zinc glacier]

I heard they cheap out on there parts tho

[obsidian kayak]

Got a new case for my iPhone and just realized the opening for the usb c port barely gives any clearance can’t even use anker cables lol

[tired hare]

Most brands are, just don't do Alienware. Biggest rip off

[zinc glacier]

Wut about cyberpower?

[tired hare]

not sure. I did research on PCs a life time ago and settled on legions as a suitable brand.

[short mantle]

I bought my pc through these guys. You can pick the parts and they’ll build it for you. They also have prebuilt pc’s.

https://powergpu.com/

[zinc glacier]

I found a prebuilt one

Which one do i get?

[tired hare]

Cyberpower. You get more bang for your buck on that.

[zinc glacier]

Ye be i watched Yt vids and ppl say there power supplys r really bad so for there gpus

ppl said they only lasted a year

[limpid flicker]

You all know that Mass Effect Legendary Edition? Did they improve any aspects of the game for the port.

[short mantle]

Yes, it’s a remaster

[tired hare]

not that I know of. I never played the original, and I only did maybe 2 hours of the original remastered. But it's a remaster, so yeah, kinda.

[zinc glacier]

I just heard cyberpower does cheap out on there parts

[tired hare]

Only reason I choose Lenovo. Ran an experiment on different brand laptops and lenovo was just better all around. But I don't know about Legions

[vestal portal]

guys does the Series S have fan speed control? I was arguing with a friend that there must be a spin up, right?

[tired hare]

I think any PC is fine (and people are going to tell you to build your own, but I get why you want a pre built), just don't do Alienware.

[limpid flicker]

You can't control it. Nor can you on any other console.

[vestal portal]

Right, but is there any change at all in fan speed when things get hot? Controlled by the console?

[zinc glacier]

Why is alienware a ripoff?

[tired hare]

Do research on the specific PC models, and see what people say about it. I have to be carful on what I say about gaming PCs.

[versed swan]

if things get hot, the fan adjusts accordingly

[limpid flicker]

Oh. Oh I see, I thought you meant manual control. It's hard to tell, TBH... because that thing is silent.

[vestal portal]

That's what I'm trying to find out for sure. Because my friend says it's always in fixed RPM. Do we have confirmation that the fans actually spin faster when hot?

[tired hare]

Lots of reasons. Expensive and super cheap on the parts. Dell owns them and is involved in a lawsuit

[short mantle]

The name and the flashy lights

[limpid flicker]

We gamers love our flashy lights but Alienware is not the best way to get them XD

[tired hare]

One thing I want to know about Alienware are the Steam Machines. All I can say is Valve worked on a real piece of crap there.

Parts fail a lot on Alienware. Because Dell.

[short mantle]

I’m saying they’re expensive because of the name and flashy lights. I don’t think their products are good either

[tired hare]

The two worst PC brands I would say are HP and Dell. Ironically I own an HP printer, and a Dell monitor.

[limpid flicker]

Dell monitors are fine.

[tired hare]

yes. A company can be good at manufacturing one part of a PC, but can suck in another area of the PC market.

[hearty plinth]

i prefer brother printers

[scenic epoch]

Does anyone know the best game to get gamerscore

[zinc glacier]

Anyone k now if asus is a good pd brand?

[short mantle]

Indies

[tired hare]

Sonic!!!!!
Really tho, Quantum Break was my first 100% game.

[hearty plinth]

anything that is indie with 1000+ gs 2b

[opal trench]

Mine on Xbox was Bully: SE with help from a friend on Music 5.

[tired hare]

Jedi Fallen Order. All achievements are only story related. I still need to play my copy of the game.

[hearty plinth]

like any xitilon, eastasiasoft, chilidog game

[tired hare]

DID YOU SAY CHILIDOGS???

[opal trench]

First game I 100%d though was Super Mario Galaxy.

[short mantle]

I’ve 100% over 1400 games on Xbox. I don’t remember my first.

[dreamy hedge]

Howdy

[tired hare]

Mine must have been something on either the GBA or DS.

[hearty plinth]

im talking about the company

[long maple]

I have 332 completions dont remember much either lol

[tired hare]

Doesn't matter, you brought on the blue blur.

[opal trench]

The games I go for 100% on are well... Timesinks...

[tired hare]

GOTTA GO FAST!!!! SANIC TIEM!!!!

[long maple]

if we going back to when I was younger. I completed Super Mario Land on the Gameboy. I must of been 11 or 12 at the time

[hearty plinth]

thats why go with indies a lot faster

[zinc glacier]

Anyone know if Asus laptops r good?

[opal trench]

My current goal is 100%ing the GTA series.

[tired hare]

except some indies are difficult. Like Hades.

[hearty plinth]

depends on ur budget

[frail hearth]

Why ALL new Game Pass games are only on the cloud?

[tired hare]

Limbo? Is that easy? I know it's short

[dreamy hedge]

How is everyone doing tonight

[tired hare]

just.....dandy.

[long maple]

what do you mean only on the cloud, they have to be on console too. there are no Cloud only titles

[opal trench]

Afternoon over here, but pretty good, just migrating from XBO OG to XBSX.

[tired hare]

before you do, go and play Shadow the Hedgehog

[hearty plinth]

great. im trying out immortals of aveum demo on pc. to see whats good on ue5 game

[opal trench]

Wait. Is that on Game Pass or what?

[frail hearth]

We can't download It on the console...Just play on the cloud

[long maple]

I know why though, because new games are Series titles and you cant play them from an Xbox One you can only cloud stream

[tired hare]

That's a great way to strike up a conversation about being an edgelord. and no, not on game pass. only playable on original Xbox. So find a copy.

[short mantle]

I’m able to install game pass games to my console

[long maple]

person above is likely trying to play a Series optimized game

[tired hare]

But, feel free when you get a Series X to play Sonic games. Especially Forces. That's the only game on Xbox One and Series where you get to play as Shadow.

[opal trench]

I'd actually go GCN...

[hearty plinth]

but only issue is are those games backwards compat?

[opal trench]

and I intend to get those on PS5.

[tired hare]

Yeah... Just that game on Xbox feels weird since I have to ask why they didn't port it over to Xbox One via bc. Same with Heroes. I have a Wii, so I could get the GCN copy at some point

[opal trench]

Lemme even check...

[tired hare]

nope. But you can play Sonic Generations or Unleashed. But you wanna know what's better? Metal Gear Rising.
Also, try DMC for me.

[limpid flicker]

Y'all who have multiple platforms: How do you decide where to get an indie game?

[tired hare]

I categorize them. I mostly do indies on Switch since they don't take up a lot of storage and useful for portability. and I don't have to deal with my OCD of platinuming/fully getting all achievements

[hearty plinth]

but u need a 360 to play those. my 360 is in my basement for the last decade or so

[limpid flicker]

Cause right now I'm looking at an indie game and I can't decide.

[tired hare]

nah you can play those two on Series X. They even got a performance boost exclusive to the console.

[opal trench]

I always went PS5 as it's the most powerful. Switch is strictly for Nintendo and Exclusives.

[limpid flicker]

With indie games like this, power is a moot point.

[opal trench]

Alright. Imma check something for my own hilarity...

[short mantle]

I play most games on Xbox, because I want to increase my gamerscore. I have a PS5 and a Switch for their exclusives.

[tired hare]

I would automatically go PS5/PS4 if the game was something that felt good with the adaptive triggers, performed better than Series X or Xbox One, had exclusive content, was exclusive, or just straight up horror.

[opal trench]

$95 to Open My Heart on Dreamcast?!

[limpid flicker]

Excuse me?

[hearty plinth]

easy achievements or sounds interesting on game pass

[fallow moat]

Super Nintendo Mario game should be available to those who preordered it soon…

[tired hare]

you can play Sonic Adventure HD on Series X. That and 2 are backwards compatible too

[opal trench]

I thought I'd see how much the Dreamcast version was, as I own the damn thing.

[tired hare]

Only games I do on Xbox are just what I think feels right on the console. Mainly exclusives, games optimized and marketed for the system, and multiplayer games.

[limpid flicker]

Sometimes I daydream about meeting the person who just wants to buy my retro collection. No fuss about putting it on ebay, they just wanna buy the whole lot.

[opal trench]

Yeah. I own a Dreamcast. The only Sega console I own.

[tired hare]

But I think I do a lot of indies on Xbox if the game has a lot of graphics, like Hellblade.

[tired hare]

I would have figured you as a Nomad.

Nomad was an actual portable Genesis. successor to the game gear, which was kind of like a portable master system, but nomad used GENESIS cartriges.

[hidden oasis]

Guys I am starting for fresh and I have an ok budget I am looking for someone to basically put together the basics of an xbox startup, basically need someone to link everything I need to have a fun gaming time like the xbox, what game core pass i need, what headset, ectera to hop in and play for christmas if anyone is down to help me

[short mantle]

Or you can do your own research instead of relying on others

[opal trench]

I at present own...

NES, SNES, N64, GCN, Wii, Wii U, Switch
PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5
XBOX 360, XBOX ONE, XBOX Series X
3DS, GB, GBA
and a Dreamcast.

[fluid creek]

xbox series s

GPU

whatever headset is compatible

[tired hare]

What I will say is just get the console, use earbuds for now with a mic in them, and if you buy a game don't do one on game pass.

[zinc glacier]

Are laptops good for gaming?

[hidden oasis]

ur arent to fun are you :C

[tired hare]

Sort of. You can't upgrade the equipment in them, so that's a bummer. You trade that for portability.

[opal trench]

Well, He's right. If you want a setup done right, DIY.

[fluid creek]

good lord you guys

[halcyon stratus]

there isn't much to an xbox setup.

you need an xbox and a tv.

[fluid creek]

i'm all for doing your own research

[hearty plinth]

not true. some u can upgrade them but u must know what u r doing for laptop upgrades

[fluid creek]

but it's literally not hard to just list 3 things lol

[tired hare]

agreed. User preferences at the end of the day. Just have a game ready to play. I would do Sonic Frontiers.

[halcyon stratus]

The xbox comes with the controller, batteries, and cables, so you're good to go there. It won't be the "best" but it will be "good enough"

[lunar leaf]

Hello
Does gamesir vx2 aim box still works on xbox after the new policy?

[hearty plinth]

i wouldnt try it

[fallow moat]

Obviously wouldn’t… that seems sus

[halcyon stratus]

that thing never should have been allowed.

[tired hare]

I am going to annoy someone as I won't shut up about Sonic.

[opal trench]

Just don't be ChrisChan...

[tired hare]

one thing missing: a game.

[lunar leaf]

Hey hey I'm just asking for a friend let's be clear hahaha

[tired hare]

? ChrisChan?

[zinc glacier]

Whats a better brand, Asus or CyberPower

[fluid creek]

not here you aren't.

[fallow moat]

I have a cyber power pc

[hearty plinth]

asus

[halcyon stratus]

cypberpower

[limpid flicker]

If you do not know, you probably don't want to.

[halcyon stratus]

they are different thigns really... Asus you just get what you get. Cyber Power lets you customize things

[fluid creek]

i'm gonna say that's a topic/person not to be discussed here tbh

[fallow moat]

My op system might be asus

[zinc glacier]

How u like it?

[lunar leaf]

Fair enough

[opal trench]

TL;DR. Creepy weird Sonic obssesive.

[fallow moat]

Pretty good but I wanna be able to run Destiny 2 at high settings but I’m not risking it

[limpid flicker]

Yes, I would not have given more than a "non-answer"... 👀

[zinc glacier]

Prebuilt?

[fallow moat]

I have a GeForce RTX 3060. Yes.

[halcyon stratus]

oh i forgot that some people like to talk...
i am pretty suire that there was no headset included in the xbox package?
so you'd want one of those

[fluid creek]

yeah no headset/mic these days included

[zinc glacier]

How long have u had it?

[fallow moat]

Almost a year

[zinc glacier]

Any problems with it?

[hearty plinth]

plus some people are audiophiles so they may want to best headphones

[fallow moat]

I had a screen tearing issue with Destiny 2 and turning on virtual sync in the Nvidia control panel pretty much alleviated it

[halcyon stratus]

You can't get this from Asus, but you can from Cyberpower!

[opal trench]

Alright. Seems like I got everything off of System Storage on my XBO to the HDD. Hopefully everything copied over well.

[limpid flicker]

For a mere $3k?

[zinc glacier]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-master-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-7-5700-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-8gb-2tb-ssd-black/6553003.p?skuId=6553003

Is this worth it?

[hearty plinth]

if u know how and depending on region u can make a high end pc for that amount of money

[halcyon stratus]

not my fault that people dont' specify budgets when asking me for advice!

[zinc glacier]

@fallow moat I heard CyberPower, power supplys and gpu go out easily and dont last long

[limpid flicker]

Absolutely not! I wasn't making fun of you, it just looks like one serious beast of a PC.

[halcyon stratus]

What does that even mean? That’s a nonsensical statement since they have options including some of the best you can buy.

[zinc glacier]

@halcyon stratus hey can you help me out, ive narrowed my likings down to 4 gaming desktops. I dont really know which one is better then the others and i generally dont know too much about Pcs. Could u possibly help me out on that?

[opal trench]

Ah good. Crysis instantly booted, Some updates may be necessary on certain games but the Games on the HDD boot perfectly.

[zinc glacier]

I looked at yt videos of reviewed of cyberpower gaming desktops, ppl had a lot of problems with the power supplys giving out.

[limpid flicker]

TBH I was under a similar (not identical) misconception... IDK why.

[thin nimbus]

Is putting Tigger stoppers on your controller against the tos? They have what they call a pro kit at costco for xbox Playstation and the switch that comes with Tigger stoppers With rechargeable battery's a Double charge dock and a controller case is it against the tos tho?

[versed swan]

no, the elite controllers have stoppers

[zinc glacier]

I mean on my Xbox X i do that

[halcyon stratus]

The same is true for the video cards. I see asus TUF and Asus Rog Strix options

[hollow hawk]

Most trigger stoppers require you to dismantle the controller, so you'd void your warranty afaik. Also probably can't discuss much about them because of Rule 12. Probably not against ToS to use em considering the Elite Controller has em

[zinc glacier]

@halcyon stratus https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-master-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-7-5700-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-8gb-2tb-ssd-black/6553003.p?skuId=6553003 Would this be a good prebuilt pc option i could consider?

[halcyon stratus]

Unfortunately no. I have opinions on brands and know which storage options are better than others… but I have effectively zero ability to work with a budget and make concessions lmao

[halcyon stratus]

See like I’d say that is not enough storage or ram

Look at the real cyber power website instead of best buy too

[thin nimbus]

So it's not recommend or?

[zinc glacier]

What about component wise

Im not gonna be doing heavy gaming

[fluid creek]

are you asking about a mod kit t hat requires you to open your controller?

or a controller that has them built in?

[halcyon stratus]

The ones on the elite v2 are really really noisy so I don’t use them

[zinc glacier]

Also Asus laptops any good?

[fluid creek]

i will be entirely honest with you, Boss

reddit is going to be far more helpful for this

r/buildapc or r/pcsales or something

if you link them options and say "this is my budget, this is what i want, what do you think?" they usually are better about getting you helpful info

[zinc glacier]

Any Gaming Pc discord servers

[fluid creek]

most people here use consoles for simplicity

idk

[zinc glacier]

I use a Xbox X but i'd like to further my gaming

[hearty plinth]

i use a self built pc as well as series x

[opal trench]

Well. With me wanting a plethora of massive install games. I guess I'll be buying a 2TB HDD soon.

[sage ice]

2TB would be too small then

[hearty plinth]

5tb plus sale in a few weeks

[opal trench]

Eh. Not entirely.

[halcyon stratus]

Definitely

[fluid creek]

perchance

[halcyon stratus]

2tb makes a great drive to store your steam library

[opal trench]

Most games fit on my 1TB HDD, it's that in wanting Starfield, MFS, MLB The Show 23 and Some of the Yakuza series...

[halcyon stratus]

I have one for a steam library and another for my music and photos and then one for a boot drive and then a big 10tb regular drive for local backups

[sage ice]

that is not a plethore of massive games lol

[zinc glacier]

IbuyPower Pc's seem good

[hearty plinth]

i have a 6tb hdd for movies/tv shows and anime plus non ssd required games

[opal trench]

I need to back up my DVD Collection some time.

[halcyon stratus]

I know two people who did the ibutpower yea

[north spindle]

UwU

[zinc glacier]

Ok so what are some top prebuilt Pc brands

[fluid creek]

sigh

[thin nimbus]

A kit they have them at costco I also saw that they have it for the Playstation controllers as well at costco

[fluid creek]

dang i don't see it on the website.

i'm assuming it's fine honestly

[opal trench]

A 2TB drive is $84?! Since when did the price drop?!

[hearty plinth]

it was that cheap for a while i guess

[short mantle]

We sell a 4tb for $100 at work

[lunar leaf]

That's kinda alot for 2tb hdd

[opal trench]

AUD.

[lunar leaf]

Why not buy an internal hdd then buy a case for it, would be alot cheap

[opal trench]

139 AUD here.

[lunar leaf]

I got mine for about 35$

[wise grail]

how many hours till black friday sale

[thin nimbus]

Is it xbox game drive hdd or a normal one?

[hearty plinth]

depends on which type u get jeff

[thin nimbus]

Yeah I was asking which one he's talking about

[opal trench]

Just a standard HDD.

[halcyon stratus]

I would not trust a $25 2tb ssd drive lol

[trail harness]

fake capacity drive moment... these will basically eat your data after writing a certain amount

[zinc glacier]

Ok so Asus better then Cyberpower

It seems

[merry palm]

I've never heard of cyberpower..

Sounds like an internet company that sell it for three times the price and you aren't sure why anyone buys it

Yk the ones

[zinc glacier]

CyberPowers pc r like supposivley top of the market

Gaming Desktops

[merry palm]

Huh

Never heard of em

Top of the market is usually when people get custom built stuff iirc?

[zinc glacier]

Ever heard of Lenvo

[merry palm]

Yes

Lenovo?

[zinc glacier]

Lenovo

[thin nimbus]

Yes you will lose data

[zinc glacier]

u think they made good Prebuild Gaming pcs?

[halcyon stratus]

I recommend them for people who don’t have the time patience or skill to assembly a custom computer at home.
I know that there are Microsoft employees who have bought them so they can’t be that bad lmao

[merry palm]

Fair enough

Not really in my frame of reference, which is well known to be right about primary school kid level

[limpid flicker]

Probably you pay a lot more that way than by building yourself... I'd like to run the numbers.

[merry palm]

I would like to never build a PC again.

[halcyon stratus]

Right sure paying someone for labor will always be more expansive then doing it yourself if you don’t calculate your time as money

[merry palm]

My plan is to talk friends into helping me with upgrades lol

With cookies and assorted cooked things

[limpid flicker]

The only parts I dread are fitting the CPU cooler, and the front panel connectors.

[hearty plinth]

so bribery tes lol

[merry palm]

That sounds naughty

I prefer to see it as an incentive

Carrot and stick like?

Another possibility is trying to do it while they are around and having them get so exasperated by my ineptitude that they step in

[short mantle]

I was only charged $100 to have someone else build my pc. Not too bad imo.

[limpid flicker]

A friend?

[short mantle]

No, a company

[limpid flicker]

Decent. 🙂

[merry palm]

Dinner mmmm

Avocado tiny toastssss

[obsidian kayak]

I wonder if there’s a dock for the iPhone that works with the switch as well

[merry palm]

They use different plug thingys

[short mantle]

Pain

[halcyon stratus]

Not anymore

[versed swan]

i remember the last time i heard about third party docks the consensus was they're crap, don't buy them, but ig that was a long time ago

[merry palm]

Oh nice. Figured they'd drag it out for ages

[obsidian kayak]

The new iPhone is usb c

[halcyon stratus]

USB cdocks have been decent for years if you just want basic functionally

[obsidian kayak]

And apple told me I could use any usb c dock aslong as it’s not like designed for that one device like nintendos dock

[halcyon stratus]

That’s more due to the physical design

[merry palm]

Maybe someday wireless charging for switch???

Lol probably not

But I can dream

[halcyon stratus]

The official switch dock had some extra stabilizer spikes on the bottom or something if I remember correctly

[versed swan]

at that point it would probably be switch 2 or 3

[reef rover]

I play Fortnite

[merry palm]

If they stick with the switch

[obsidian kayak]

Also even if you use a cable to extend the usb c port in dock it doesn’t work Nintendo using some weird protocol

[reef rover]

https://tenor.com/view/default-dance-gif-13250931

[merry palm]

I can charge my switch with the same cable as my phone

[reef rover]

Bro has an iPhone 14

[obsidian kayak]

I meant for the display to tv

[reef rover]

The back breaks sooo easily

[merry palm]

Ah

[versed swan]

do you mean 15?

[obsidian kayak]

Like any Joe blow dock won’t work with switch

[reef rover]

Yea I ment that

[versed swan]

sorry, i don't mean to correct, just wondering

[reef rover]

There just so many iPhone I can’t keep up

[reef rover]

No worry’s

[merry palm]

Almost time to go home.. then games until I crash hehe

I can't believe is almost friday

[obsidian kayak]

This what killed my old iPhone

[reef rover]

The new Fortnite update sucks

IMO

[merry palm]

I thought it was well received?

[obsidian kayak]

It burnt the pins in my iPhone

[merry palm]

Not liking it?

Rip

I don't play fortnite so...not really able to comment on it myself

[reef rover]

Bro why get an iPhone 15? It’s literally the same thing as every iPhone up till the 11

Unless you want a “Better Battery” and “better camera”

[short mantle]

The older iPhones can’t run AAA games

[merry palm]

Cause they want to

[cyan quiver]

(which really doesn't seem like it will get a lot of AAA games on mobile)

[obsidian kayak]

The new iPhones can play village if get one of the pro models

[versed swan]

the pins on my cheap android are pretty bent up, it can charge but it has to be a pretty high quality cable and not some cheap dollar store crap, and it can't be bent weird

[merry palm]

Only apple thing I want is an ipad

[short mantle]

Death Stranding, AC Mirage and RE will be playable on 15

[versed swan]

yeah I'd like a new ipad

[obsidian kayak]

I have a 15 pro now

[merry palm]

I've never had a decent tablet. Just a kindle fire and I hate that lol

[cyan quiver]

i got a 14 pro last year and i really don't see the appeal...would trade it out in a heartbeat

[versed swan]

i was gifted an ipad 2 in 2019 of all years and for being that outdated it was surprisingly mildly functional

[halcyon stratus]

Wut

[obsidian kayak]

I think it’s only the pro models tho because those have a different cpu/gpu

[merry palm]

Sounds like a tiktok video

[reef rover]

So? The only difference is the price. $2,999 for the iPhone 15 pro max 💀💀💀 with that money you can buy a 75 inch TV

[versed swan]

oh god i do not like the amazon tablets

[merry palm]

Can't put a TV in my pocket

[reef rover]

No really?

[halcyon stratus]

What currency?

[merry palm]

I loved my Paperwhite . Thought the fire would be a nice upgrade... Nope.

[obsidian kayak]

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/resident-evil-village/id6450980545

[reef rover]

😱 I didn’t know that

[versed swan]

most tvs can't play games on it from the get go either, or can call people, etc etc

[short mantle]

They don’t cost that much in the US

[merry palm]

I want to go back to my chill ereader that lasted for weeks on a single charge lol

[cyan quiver]

Likely referring to this clip

https://youtu.be/IS0SItAzEXg?t=438

[obsidian kayak]

The 15 pro max shatters ez

[merry palm]

Oh I was wrong..yt not tiktok

[reef rover]

That’s the iPhone for you

[versed swan]

wow, only 16gb? insane compression

[reef rover]

Exactly just get a 12 or 11 or 13

[obsidian kayak]

It’s 2gb to download it but once you launch it it downloads like 8gb

[merry palm]

If you are trying to crack it...don't act surprised it cracks??

[short mantle]

Let people buy what they want. It’s their money lol

[halcyon stratus]

Yea that was a stupid video. Everyone dunked on him when he posted it.

[merry palm]

Who does that casually to a phone????

[versed swan]

yeah the description says 16gb of free space required

[merry palm]

Super dumb video lol

[cyan quiver]

it's dumb that he was surprised it cracked, but the back glass shouldn't even break that easily lmao

[halcyon stratus]

As someone who hikes camps and does other things where my phone is literally falling on to rocks and down hills I assure you that video is stupid.

[reef rover]

No one? It just proves that older phones are more durable than the lastest one 🤣🤣

[obsidian kayak]

Looks pretty good to
