[fiery python]

That one would be a dummy console.

A lot of the prize consoles that have extra things stuck on them are non-working consoles. You win that for display only and they give you a regular standard console to actually use.

[obsidian kayak]

Those capsha images are AI right?

[versed swan]

yeah i noticed that too. they're noticable enough where you can still tell what an image is, but i dunno what kind of generator they're using, they don't look so great

[versed swan]

ah well that's alright. i would maybe use the controller anyway (but also maybe not)

god i remember the hairy sonic 2 hairy controllers lol

[soft jetty]

I hear voices mainly tho

[fiery python]

Example here from the recent Diablo one they did.

All the extra stuff that gets stuck onto these prize consoles would screw with the cooling so they can't give you a working one.

Good luck with that.

[soft jetty]

I'd wait for it to get cheaper

Bad games do that

[versed swan]

are the materials that expensive? why would the non functional console be as expensive as the functional one?

[fiery python]

It's not just the materials. It's paying the artist for the work too.

But for tax purposes they need to apply a value to the prize.

[versed swan]

fair enough

[fiery python]

Yet despite so many people claiming it's a bad game, it's one of the fastest selling CoDs and topping the sales charts.

[molten briar]

Plus single or low amount of runs of a product is more expensive

[versed swan]

they all do that no matter the reviews so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[fiery python]

Trying out a new game and this has a super satisfying gameplay loop so far. I can see myself enjoying this one a lot.

Horrors had been unleashed

[leaden hemlock]

Am I allowed to have strike pack and modify it to make me win any game in two seconds

[fiery python]

The mods with the strike packs vioalte Terms of Service.

[trail harness]

my local GameStop sells strike packs and I've always been sus of them

[fiery python]

The strike packs, or GameStop? 😄

[trail harness]

both

[red wedge]

What's a strike pack? And hello xbox

[trail harness]

I don't trust GameStop to not sell me an accessory that could get me banned after seeing that.

[red wedge]

Why would they sell anything that could get their customers banned?

So I was not going to try mahjong game at all in yakuza. But it actually kinda looks intriguing to me so I think I might learn how to actually play it. XD

[trail harness]

that's what I want to know. They're selling a device that advertises itself as a means of gaining a massive advantage over others

[fiery python]

I assume you're looking for an answer other than 'for money' here?

[uneven river]

They don't check discs here either

[molten briar]

I mean, gamestop used to sell game genies too

[red wedge]

That's how they always market stuff with accessories though like those pro controllers. 'Gain the advantage over your friends with custom triggers on the bottom and tweak the sensitivity further with custom joy sticks etc "

[desert sonnet]

Dang I miss game genie

I always hated when it had cheats for a game but it didn't work. Little kid me felt ripped off whenever that happened

[red wedge]

True I know the answer I just dont want it to be true :c i use to think gamestop was a good place

[red wedge]

Yea good times.

[trail harness]

Ill get a pic of the product if I see it again. I don't want that to be true either.

GameStop is fine for buying new and official stuff from but definitely staying away from their third party accessories until I determine what's going on with that.

[versed swan]

you forgot the other half

[red wedge]

That's neat

[versed swan]

the thing about game genies is that while yeah, they are by all means cheating they weren't as bad as cheating devices today as it doesn't disrupt the experience of others

hell a lot of games back then didn't even have proper ways to save without password systems lol, so a game genie was the next best thing

how annoying: discord isn't displaying the slowmode cooldown for me

there we go much better

unfortunately because of the game genie lawsuit winning in favor of game genie, and (with all due respect) judges not knowing too much about the gaming ecosystem, it sounds like it would be hard to file lawsuits about cheating devices of today for similar reasons as the game genie

[desert sonnet]

Probably cause every game nowadays are tied to an online ecosystem

Except maybe for Nintendo and they hated Game Genie

(in ref to why no game genie today 😞)

[obsidian kayak]

Been buying these for years

There amazing 😂

[versed swan]

i mean the closest equivalent are those things gamestop sells

[silk mountain]

Game genie that's a throwback

[versed swan]

hence why i mentioned why i think a lawsuit would be hard if they refer back to nintendo vs galoob

[desert sonnet]

I need game genie to comeback though.

It's gotta have that logo and that brand name 😎

[versed swan]

i still have no problem with cheating in single player games if it means no console modifications are happening and it doesn't affect achievements and other players, an example is bethesda games leaving in console commands on pc

as long as you the player don't make any advancements outside of the game (like achievements) and nobody else is disrupted, i don't see the problem

[surreal hamlet]

Update on last night, I successfully made Beef Stew, and people liked it

[versed swan]

yahoo

[desert sonnet]

Nice Rachel

Got any pics of it?

[surreal hamlet]

No sorry 😦

[versed swan]

i wanna see co-op come back in the new perfect dark of course, but one thing i REALLY wanna see come back is counter-op

that sounds like it could be really fun in a modern game

and you wouldn't be limited with splitscreen anymore making it more challenging

[halcyon stratus]

Couch coop used to be so fun 😦

[soft jetty]

I made a sandwich last night

[halcyon stratus]

Basically every holiday when I would have people over would turn in to a couch split screen game fest before dessert lol

[soft jetty]

My own recipe

Ham n bread

[versed swan]

obviously i would want couch counter-op too, but you can't screen peek over the internet 😉

it would be much more fun and challenging not knowing which enemy the player is controlling and where they are

[soft jetty]

Dude I miss getting that 100 foot lan cable so me n my neighbor could have halo night

LAN parties were great

[halcyon stratus]

lol did you run it down the hallway?

[soft jetty]

No from one window to other

We lived in separate houses

[versed swan]

that could make an alright laundry line if it wasn't an electric cable

unless it wasn't hanging in the air

[soft jetty]

It was

[versed swan]

lmao that's such a funny sight in my imagination

[soft jetty]

Neighbors called cops cuz they thought we were "stealing internet"

[versed swan]

😭

[obsidian kayak]

Is that worth calling 9/11 over?

They over reacting lol

[soft jetty]

They did

[obsidian kayak]

Even if you where that’s not a reason to call the cops lol

Change your WiFi password 😂

[soft jetty]

We didn't have WiFi back then

Everything was lan or dial up

[obsidian kayak]

Ohh they thought you routed a cable or something

[versed swan]

tbf i heard stories of some people stealing gas by using someone else's pump to make them pay for it, but i guess this is different

[thin nimbus]

How did they join in August?

[halcyon stratus]

Well stealing cable, especially paid channels, was definitely a thing

[obsidian kayak]

My neighbors actually did route a cable from house to there house from my coax once.

[soft jetty]

I would have whole house full of teenagers my age just playing

[fiery python]

By creating the account in August?

[versed swan]

they made an account with the tag "FNFestStatus" in August

they typically do these things months ahead so nobody snipes names

[obsidian kayak]

There’s a way to call cops without calling 911 911 is only for emergency’s

[thin nimbus]

I mean we didn't know about it until December

[halcyon stratus]

I bet it was under development prior to December

[fiery python]

But they did.

[sharp hare]

Hi

[fiery python]

They've been planning these modes since Fortnite first existed.

[obsidian kayak]

Honestly the cops prob could have arrested your neighbors if they did in fact abuse 911

[sharp hare]

Does anyone want my 3 month trial

[desert sonnet]

This is true. Most places (at least here in the US) have a non emergency number

[fiery python]

You can post the code in #xbox-game-pass

[molten briar]

someone call trippy

[halcyon stratus]

It takes a lot of fake 911 calls before someone gets arrested

[desert sonnet]

That's also true 😔

[versed swan]

don't non emergency 911 calls warrent a fine?

[desert sonnet]

Nah. Depends on if they're abusing it

[versed swan]

fair enough

[molten briar]

calling 511 on trippy hating ice cream

[thin nimbus]

How do they keep it away from the public? Especially since they made a account months ahead of the release?

On social media

[halcyon stratus]

Account names can be changed.

[soft jetty]

Calling 911 at 3 am challenge gone wrong

[long ermine]

Hi everyone

[versed swan]

if i heard "FNFestStatus" in August i don't think i would immediately jump to fortnite

but for more obvious ones like "among us vr" then yeah refer to what tacti said

[thin nimbus]

There is also this as well

[fiery python]

Whst about it?

[long ermine]

Xbox Game Pass is popular

[versed swan]

my answer doesn't change

[prime pulsar]

glad to hear.

[long ermine]

I just like what they have on Xbox Game Pass

[thin nimbus]

You wouldn't think it would apply to fortnite?

[fiery python]

What?

[versed swan]

that's not what i said. the letters FN don't immediately remind me of fortnite in all contexts

[thin nimbus]

He said if he saw the account in August he wouldn't immediately jump to Fornite

[fiery python]

When accounts like this are created they generally don't have the same username. They would use a generic username that has no connection to Fortnite at all, so only the @ handle is reserved and people are less likely to make the connection and guess what is coming out.

So they'd reserve @ FNFestival in August, but may have an account name of FKJl388D or something else completely random/generic.

[versed swan]

i wonder if there's any way for brands to reserve names for the future when they're planning something

[desert sonnet]

Anyone have a game they're looking forward to that hasn't received a lot of exposure? For me it's Blight. Coop violent third person melee game where you wander around medieval villages that succumbed to the plague and fight zombies

[thin nimbus]

Alright that makes sense

Having 928mg of caffeine prob give some people a heart attack

Dang it. Alright I'm gonna try to forget it has caffeine. Noone better tell me if it's caffeinated. I want the full experience 😎

Old friend of mine used it all the time and he was from Birmingham.

[obsidian kayak]

But people end up buying a new charging brick anyways and thin that’s a whole new box and a shipping box if you ordered thru Amazon I think not including a charging brick is more of a waste thin a help

[winter forum]

Well they're weird 😂

[obsidian kayak]

Like I don’t even own a official Apple charging brick that’s usb c because I skipped every phone that came with a usb c brick so I had to order one

[thin nimbus]

Rhinne you work at xbox right?

[fiery python]

Nope

[thin nimbus]

Oh I thought every mod here does

[fiery python]

Only those with the Xbox Team role

[winter forum]

What's the benefit of it being an official server btw?

[fiery python]

We get most of the perks of fully boosted servers by default without the boosts.

I would assume some level of better support from Discord if it were required by the admin(s).

Inclued in the featured servers/server discovery section.

[winter forum]

I mean once you're here though...

[tired hare]

A chance to interact with us fans?

[halcyon stratus]

Strong disagree,
The first time you get a device with a different type of charger sure you have to buy one, but after?
I have phones, iPads, watches, Xbox and PlayStation and switch controllers, mini flashlights, a kindle, and other things that all use the exact same charger,
I have one charger with two ports that does my iPad and laptop, and another with 5 ports that does everything else.
Any single use charger I get as part of a product just gets throw away

[winter forum]

Except for fast chargers which can chuck out more power, they seem to just be on a Moore's law curve

[thin nimbus]

Also each device Changes in terms of speed and watts of how fast it can change so you might need to get a new brick for that device if you want the max speed that it can charge

[cyan quiver]

i mean you're right, but if this were the case they should've made the packaging for the separate accessories be a bit more eco-friendly

so many little cardboard pieces and paper packaging that is absolutely unnecessary

[winter forum]

But all that is recyclable?

[hollow hawk]

"take the brick out to be more eco friendly"
then my earbuds have twice the packaging of the now sold-separate brick to charge my phone

[halcyon stratus]

I have the 120w Anker chargers, they can do any current device - including laptops. I’m not going to need to buy a new charger for a long time

[halcyon stratus]

Cardboard is recycled….

[hollow hawk]

That's still a lot of cardboard a pair of buds

[winter forum]

Not everyone is buying the high power plugs though right? Most still see "35W fast charger support" and get that one because it's probably cheaper?

[cyan quiver]

it still is a lot of cardboard for the stuff you have to buy in order to use the phone

[fresh edge]

[hollow hawk]

I still use a 5w to charge my phone

[fresh edge]

Guys how can i clean the series x?

[winter forum]

Mine doesn't even get to 100% overnight on a 5W 💀

[halcyon stratus]

You don’t need to buy a new pair of headphones every time you buy a phone either, Bluetooth is Bluetooth.

[fiery python]

You buy it once though - unless it breaks, or you choose to upgrade. And that will then work for several phones. Rather than needing to package with every phone.

[halcyon stratus]

And my old lightning headphone jack adaptor worked across multiple phones, and my usb c headphone adaptor (for use on my old car that doesn’t have Bluetooth) will work across many more.

[hollow hawk]

After an overnight charge I'll have around 60-80% which will get me through the day no problem

[cyan quiver]

true, but doesn't mean they can't cut down on the amount of packaging that's in each box

why do we need little paper bits that come onto the product itself and cover it if the rest of the cardboard packaging holds it in place?

[thin nimbus]

I thought it's bad for the device if you don't have the specific charger for a device like you want to be exactly what the speeds are for that device?

[halcyon stratus]

Nope. Devices can negotiate the power they need of the charger is stronger than expected

[fiery python]

I've used my AirPods Pro now with four different phones. I used the same charger with all of those phones too.

If I need to charge at my desk my new phone needs a different charger as it's USB-C now, but I have one of those for countless devices at my desk already, so no need to have an extra one lying around or buying a new one.

[halcyon stratus]

Wow I bought my lightning headphone adaptor in 2017, which means it lasted 6 years before I had to replace it with a usb c version.

[tired hare]

XBOX 💪🏽💚💚

[cyan quiver]

we can thank the EU for this one

[thin nimbus]

So you don't have to worry about over charging or anything?

What do you guys think of if you see someone buying something in a store twice the amount of what they can buy it online for would you stop them and tell them about the deal? Or do you think that’s rude interrupting them

Like if there just shopping and you see them put something in there cart

[winter forum]

People pay what they think it's worth. Plus convenience tax is a thing

Didn't realise it was called storm Pia. Such an apt name!

[obsidian kayak]

I saw someone buying like 4 cirkul bottles In Walmart for like $20 each I was going to give them my referral code but it was nervous 😂

[limpid flicker]

Yeah see… around here there used to be a place with one of those metal roller shutters. When that blows in the wind because it is broken, that ain’t funny. That has happened before. That lot has been turned into a building site now though so OK

[obsidian kayak]

So they would get them for $8 each

[limpid flicker]

Me? Talk to unfamiliar people in person? Surely you jest!

[cyan quiver]

so it isn't "plastic bag in the wind" time?

[winter forum]

The vents in my flat in Manchester used to vibrate a lot if the wind hit it just right

Like...a low pitched tone

[obsidian kayak]

I feel like depending on the person and how soon they needed the item they might be annoyed or thankful lol

[limpid flicker]

Could be, just wanted to share the anecdote about metal shutters whipping back and forth in strong winds.

[winter forum]

i whip my shutter back and forth

[limpid flicker]

Also amusing, the times when the large bins go for a walk because the wind is just that strong. For Americans I mean like a dumpster size

aight my bad

[limpid flicker]

At my building the outdoor bins are all larger than that because they are communal.

Still can go on adventures sometimes.

[winter forum]

Do you ever take your rubbish out and be all "tut, bin here before"

[fiery python]

We previously had two big dumpsters for the general waste, two regular wheelie bins for most recycling and a separate one just for glass. But the recycling bins always ended up overfilled or people leaving boxes on the floor next to the bins if they were full, so now they've given us two big dumpsters for recycling too.

[limpid flicker]

Can’t say I do. Semi-related, I tend to have earbuds in when i take the rubbish out and sometimes get jump scared by the security guards patrolling.

[cyan quiver]

"Okay, you just moved here? This bin is for my Twitter account, this bin is for my commonplace garbage, this bin is for my hopes and dreams -"

I only have a trash and recycling bin but my family in Canada have a million /s

[obsidian kayak]

We just get a lot of cardboard to throw away so we asked for more from the city

[winter forum]

Round here don't do glass recycling which is just mind blowing tbh

[obsidian kayak]

So we have like 4 recycling

[limpid flicker]

Cardboard bin here fills up half way through the week guaranteed.

Every damn time.

[winter forum]

Worse next week too

[tired hare]

Fr bad graphics

[idle spear]

Same here, where I was before we could put glass in the recycle bin

[tired hare]

No excuse for a next gen title

[fiery python]

We just have the dumpsters for recycling, so you throw in everything recyclable instead of separate ones for paper/card, plastic etc.

[cyan quiver]

Go back, check the context of the conversation.

[winter forum]

Though my neighbour seemed to have chucked out 2 perfectly good rolls of wrapping paper which boggles the mind

[tired hare]

Who needs forza when gta 6 will probably be the best racer and shooter. In all of the Above

[tired hare]

Maybe later

[winter forum]

Or you get a little box to bung it in

[tired hare]

In canada its very specific

[fiery python]

Maybe they're done with all their wrapping and don't need it any more. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[limpid flicker]

We have card separate, all other recycling in one.

[winter forum]

But... Next year

[fiery python]

Who cares, it's a quid a roll and saves it lingering around the house for a year.

[tired hare]

Oh. I see now 💀

[idle spear]

They just ask us to put glass in the non recycle where I’m at now which seems weird

[winter forum]

I think they paid more than £1 and some of the bigger rolls can be quite pricey.

Am I the only one that raids Asda on boxing day and gets it all for 10p then lobs it in the loft?

[fiery python]

I don't know if we have a new neighbour in the building or someone has recently stopped caring, but there's loads of non-recyclable stuff being thrown in the recycling. Polystyrene, clothes, or just throwing a black bag full of recycling into the bin instead of emptying it out.

[limpid flicker]

At our building if that happens it will be taken out and left behind with a snide little note saying they won’t take it.

[fiery python]

We don't even have an upstairs, never mind a loft. 😄

[winter forum]

Spare room?

[obsidian kayak]

Trying that script now

[fiery python]

We have one, but it's small and full.

[limpid flicker]

There are some weirdly strict rules here. Can’t put broken electronics in the bins, or at least are told not to.

[winter forum]

We have that, supposed to be in a bag next to the recycling bin

[obsidian kayak]

Does it still go paper > geyser > floodgate?

[winter forum]

Ok I'll stop going on now

[winter forum]

Don't recall the order but it checks all 3 and only updates if it needs to

Right now it overlays they download over the top of the ping google.com

So might just remove that.

[winter forum]

I don't think I can change that though? It's just PS being PS

I could remove the bat script and maybe just put everything in a ps1 script

I can't believe I'm saying this but I've literally laughed more at a funeral (we did at the person who'd passed, but we didn't want it to be miserable so we kept it kinda light hearted, just for context)

Sometimes laughter is the best medicine

[surreal hamlet]

Poor person reading the eulogy accidentally said something about my stepdad getting flamed at his cremation, we all laughed but she panicked and thought we were gonna get mad at her

I'm gutted now though. After two and a half years in this apartment, now we own it we were able to get shelves put up, so had massive shelves put in for LEGO and my shelf is full 😦

[tidal topaz]

[cerulean basin]

I'm not sure I understood that. You finally were able to put up shelves, they are full of LEGO sets and now you're gutted?

How long did the excitement of having shelves for LEGO last? 😄

[fiery python]

Yes because I have no room to put more up

[cerulean basin]

BTW Rhinne, this is exactly what I meant about having extra "ultra" settings in PC games.
This is a hidden-away "unobtanium" PC settings available only via command line, and it's meant to be taxing even on the highest end current hardware, but keeping the game and the included benchmark relevant for future hardware generations

[fiery python]

I hate that some of the minifigures have such high value because it makes buying retired sets much harder. People will sell the building/whatever only and not the minifigures, or the price for the complete set is super high because of the figures.

[tired hare]

Holy….i found a way better one….

[winter forum]

Scalping for minifigs is a disgraceful practice

[tired hare]

Now i just need a Afghan-Russo war T-72

[fiery python]

I'd judge a games relevancy on its content personally. If the game is good enough the graphics wouldn't matter for newer hardware.

[frail nimbus]

Agree

i keep my expensive ones for collection purposes tho

[fiery python]

If I've built/bought a beasty PC to run all the new games maxed out, I'd like to know they are maxed out. Not holding stuff back from me on the rare chance I replay it in the future on a better PC.

[tired hare]

Sluban does very good Lego tanks (please no ban i‘ll be good now)

[cerulean basin]

Oh, not saying that's wrong.
But right now there's very few games that have such extensive use of ray-traced global illumination and that level of detail.
Did the famous "can your PC run Crysis?" become a thing because the gameplay itself was fantastic?

It became a PC benchmark for many years

[winter forum]

Rhinne how am I counting the custom Lego minifig replica of our wedding photo where everyone had to build a minifig of themselves?

Isn't that technically "1" per person?

[limpid flicker]

So I was kind of rolling my eyes at Avatar for calling a material Unobtanium... but I love that the game's ludicrous settings are are called that.

[fiery python]

Eh? Counting for what?

[winter forum]

Construction kits

[fiery python]

Minifigs aren't counted or included in the app.

I've got a bunch of those, but none are included in my set count as they're just separate and individual minifigs.

[winter forum]

It's "anything" within the limits defined by the rules.

Just wanted to make sure

[fiery python]

Just general chat but being an Xbox server it will lean more towards gaming - or food.

[limpid flicker]

[winter forum]

I've got maybe an hour of admin to do (uploading old test data) and then sweet nothing. Wife is at work so planning on Alien Isolation all day!

[idle spear]

sounds good

A bunch of 360 games I might hopefully get to as well over the next few weeks

[winter forum]

Rhinne I count 234 kits excluding models like the Metal Gear Rex, Meccano dinosaur, gears of war Meccano, ecto 1 Tamiya type kit etc etc

If anything, that's an under count as well. I think there's 5 kits in the loft, it's probably more. And the Mario lego I counted as "5 kits" when it's probably more tbh 😛

[tired hare]

Is Fallout New vegas buyable?

[near linden]

[tired hare]

Fallout NV and lonesome road tbh

[idle spear]

I clean mine before they get dirty

[night fern]

Xbox one is not worth it in 2023

[tired hare]

I have it just don’t have a controller to fix it i would just cart it off for 150 bucks

Bcus rn it won’t launch any games and freezes up after 6 minutes

[near linden]

Fortnite is 50GB that’s gonna take a while 😂

[tired hare]

Better than waiting 2 days for a update imo

[near linden]

It was working perfectly btw I was playing and downloaded 1.3GB in like 45minutes until it just stopped

[tired hare]

Maybe don’t play?

[near linden]

true tbf but it could also stop

[near linden]

😂 ight ight

[hearty plinth]

[hearty plinth]

[night fern]

im still definitely addicted

[hearty plinth]

[night fern]

[idle spear]

Gaming until the grave

[hearty plinth]

most games i have on wishlist isnt on game pass or i like them so much i buy them outright

[gleaming crest]

What do u use for that

[tired hare]

Maybe it‘s the fact that i‘m picking up learning guitar and am saving up for a next gen console but i have little desire to buy a game other than cyberpunk 2077

[gleaming crest]

Isnt thaf still broken

[tired hare]

No?

[night fern]

only on old gen

[gleaming crest]

Oh

I thibk ill switch controllers later tdy then

[tired hare]

Yeah that‘s why i‘m upgrading anyway i wouldn’t get a new gen console if it wasn’t for The remakes and remasters

[gleaming crest]

Get the 1tb series s or thr series x

[tired hare]

Why should i listen to some random? Even if i‘m getting a ps5 anyway

[night fern]

im getting the series x for Christmas

[gleaming crest]

Hey im just tryna give advice assuming your getting an xbox lol

If its ps5 i recon just get the slim

[tired hare]

Again why should i listen to a random?

[night fern]

Because hes right

slim is better lol

[idle spear]

Microfibre cloth and a toothbrush for the sides of the controller

[tired hare]

Maybe i‘ll just get a 2TB Pro version

[fiery python]

No need to be so hostile about it.

[night fern]

its gonna be a while until that releases

[tired hare]

I‘m not trying to be they are trying to make me get something

[tired hare]

I need to save up anyway ?

[fiery python]

They're not trying to make you do anything, they're offering advice.

If you don't want to take it, just don't.

[tired hare]

Then they can stop bothering me?

[night fern]

reccomending chill

[fiery python]

If you didn't say anything then they would have.

[gleaming crest]

Damn ☠️

[tired hare]

Lolll

[night fern]

[tired hare]

Cool now blow it off

[fiery python]

Just ignore them kaylem.

[gleaming crest]

Will do then, im probably gonna need to clean of my carbon black controller aswell when i switch to robotic white

[fiery python]

Now we don't need to listen to some random either. Back to regularly scheduled Discording.

[limber carbon]

Rhinne do you have all achievements in THe Crew 2?

[fiery python]

Nope, not even close.

[gleaming crest]

Man i regret not buying that game when it was on sale

[fiery python]

I regret buying it. 😄

[limber carbon]

This week's playlist is having a special award with 999,999 fans, which can help you jump levels and speed up the process.

[brittle patio]

Hey guys does anyone play Naraka?

[fiery python]

Oh, I actually have more achievements in that game than I thought I did. I have half of them and 410GS.

[hearty plinth]

Isnt naraka leaving gp at end of the year

[brittle patio]

Yes because it became Free to play

Its great battle royal game and really addictive

[frail nimbus]

i have everything in the crew 2, the last achievement took like 1.5 years because i was busy with other games lol

[hearty plinth]

Heard of naraka never played it lol

[cinder veldt]

Relatable for other games

[tired hare]

hi

Lol no...sounds all a bit rule 12 though

[cinder veldt]

New game for me

[obsidian kayak]

Game sharing?

[winter forum]

Modifications

[obsidian kayak]

I mean it drilled all the way thru the system.

It’s not even usable

[winter forum]

Oh so a brick conversion mod 😂

[obsidian kayak]

He listed it on eBay as seller refurbished

😂

[winter forum]

This blooming wind has blown over my wheelbarrow 🤨

[ruby otter]

woah

I used to play that game on ps2 🙂

bring back so munch memories

enjoy

[gleaming crest]

It took me like 5 months ish to get all of fh5s achievements

[cinder veldt]

I'm currently working on FH4 achievements, but gonna take the next few weeks for the ones I'm doing

[frail nimbus]

it took me 2 years including the DLCs 💀

[frail nimbus]

Good luck getting heads up....

[gleaming crest]

I did most of the achievements thanks to gamepass then i was gifted the premium edition so i did dlc like 3 months later

[gleaming crest]

Same

i hate the forzathon ones

[frail nimbus]

That achievement was a real PITA 🙃

and 1600 hours, tho most of that was just messing about and not hunting the achievements

[cinder veldt]

Heads up as in an achievement name or heads up that it takes a while

[molten briar]

Feel kinda bad, fh5 achievements were easy to do before it officially launched lol

[frail nimbus]

achievement name

the eliminator one

[cinder veldt]

ah this one, was no issues really

and that was like on launch, nowadays it's even easier

[molten briar]

Zulg and I traded wins back and forth for eliminator stuff since it was only us 2 most of the time lol

[tired hare]

anyone with xbox gamepass? trial? code

[frail nimbus]

nice

what's your GT?

[cinder veldt]

Cheating 😛 /s

[cinder veldt]

I prefer not to share, but if you are curious about something more specific I can fill you in 😄

[gleaming crest]

I did all the onrs for the base game minus

Do all playlist challenges
20 forzathon live events

[frail nimbus]

lol

[molten briar]

Ikr? If you see first to unlock most of achievements, youll see zulg, Laura, Em, deek, or I on most of them lol

[cinder veldt]

I mean jokes aside it is somewhat unfair it tracks before a launch. But it also makes sense

[molten briar]

Not all games do tbh. It's up to publisher

[cinder veldt]

what's so funny though

[cinder veldt]

I meant the ones that did opt for that😉

[cinder veldt]

That's the ones I'm working for now

[molten briar]

Was honestly surprised fh5 stuff didn't wipe

[cinder veldt]

Wonder if anyone has been wrongfully flagged for playtesting features?

[winter forum]

Wind's got up again

[molten briar]

Flagged how?

[cinder veldt]

Or perhaps Trueachievements only does on achievements actually out remarked to unobtainable?

[molten briar]

From what I've tested, it's almost pretty much a coin flip on whether achievements are enabled pre launch or not

[cinder veldt]

that's quite understandable, I can see it being good to have them enabled for well testing

[molten briar]

I dunno how ta fully does it, but like in fh5 for example I don't think they started adding achievements earned info until launch day

[cinder veldt]

Yeah I don't know how they do it either, but I do think that if someone were to earn an achievement after a server shutdown they get flagged

but before it's probably as you say, it comes in on launch date

[frail nimbus]

discontinued achievements are the worst

that 1 discontinued achievement in black ops 2 is stopping me from playing it

[cinder veldt]

they are quite unfortunate

[fiery python]

Unobtainables are worse than discontinued.

[surreal hamlet]

I will forever remain mad at what modders did to my bo2 achievements

[molten briar]

I flip my profile back and forth between private and public depending on the game I'm testing

[frail nimbus]

Oh yes buggy and unobtainable achievements are way worse...

[frail nimbus]

Yes that one

[cinder veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/ohnepixel-csgo-ohne-pixel-mastixkg-mastix-gif-15147312452195856998

tbh bo2 though is a danger zone to touch if you like earning achievements

[frail nimbus]

Old COD Games in general, because of all those god damn hackers 🙄

[cinder veldt]

Bo2 is the worst out of the other ones, the other ones aren't as bad

[frail nimbus]

Thankfully with most old cod games the achievements are all unlockable via offline gamemodes

[uneven river]

When did they remove league play😔

[frail nimbus]

around 2015 i think

been discontinued since 2016

[surreal hamlet]

Yeah bo2 is awful for achievements

[uneven river]

Haven't played league since 2014

[gleaming crest]

Yeah same, ill go bsck to fh4 tmr since its not on my internal storage

[cinder veldt]

You just missed the start of a week though last week

[gleaming crest]

No i did it already

[cinder veldt]

Here is a current completion I'm working towards

[gleaming crest]

I hate the fact the forzathons expire

[gleaming crest]

Litterally is the reason i didnt obtain the achievement in my other attempts

[frail nimbus]

oh all the GTA Stacks

[uneven river]

I'm working on doomsday still sadly

[frail nimbus]

Isn't there like a region stack for the xbox one version aswell?

[cinder veldt]

That one takes a while

[obsidian kayak]

There’s snow men on gta

[cinder veldt]

There is, but it's expensive

[uneven river]

Have to do doomsday over on the stack if unlucky

And luck plays a big part in the online achievement transfer

[cinder veldt]

Heh I did without transfer

[uneven river]

I had to redo most of the online achievements when I transferred to One

[obsidian kayak]

I won the podium car let’s go

[uneven river]

Looks like a good car

[surreal hamlet]

OMG BOLD AND BRASH

[cinder veldt]

more like, belongs in the trash

[surreal hamlet]

😔

No respect for modern art /j

[winter forum]

Hitman?

[cinder veldt]

Hitman, what about it? I'm listening!

[tired hare]

How do i fix stick drift? My left analog stick is really loose and only pulls up

[winter forum]

I'm wondering if Oobis screenshot is from hitman. I dunno what game it is

[surreal hamlet]

GTA V

Oobis is in the Diamond Casino wearing a bodysuit

I wanna say it's a sprunk/ECola outfit but no idea

[winter forum]

Thanks

Credit card this month is so high but then I bought a PS5, washing machine and the Costco hamper shop for my parents + brother. Not surprising really

[surreal hamlet]

I don't think il ever trust myself with a credit card

People give them away for free all the time. It's a worthless trial code.

[obsidian kayak]

I have no idea either and idk how I got it

[surreal hamlet]

Yknow the symbiote from Spiderman? Yeah it's just that but sponsored by sprite and cola

You will never be able to remove it

[obsidian kayak]

Wait I can’t remove the body suit?

[surreal hamlet]

Nah you probably can I'm just joking

[cinder veldt]

Ah I do get how you could see some similarities on some points

[surreal hamlet]

Wait 4 days you got this

[winter forum]

[surreal hamlet]

Go take the longest nap you ever did take

[gray matrix]

[fiery python]

I'm not an Admin, but I am a mod.

[winter forum]

Although opening it for an update now probably ain't a bad idea. I'd speak to your parents and see what they say?

[fiery python]

Yes

[raw fractal]

[fiery python]

Because the rules say so.

[tired hare]

guys

[fiery python]

That's up to Roblox, not Xbox.

[raw fractal]

Rhinne can you check private

[fiery python]

No

[tired hare]

i got a xbox gamepass code from a friend and redeemed it and it worked but when i try to play games on xbox-cloud it says i have to subscribe to gamepass ultimate

i don't understand and the code worked

[raw fractal]

Are you angry because of the many questions? XD

[fiery python]

Was it a code for Ultimate? Or was it PC Game Pass?

That's not how it works at all.

[tired hare]

i think PC

[fiery python]

Then that's why it's telling you that you need Ultimate, because you don't have it.

[frail nimbus]

Cloud is only available with Ultimate
