Yo my phone charger wasn't going in all the way. It's just dust mate. Grab a bobby pin and get that outta there. My phone now plugs in handsomely

[raven lodge]

wtf

[true plinth]

Make sure... It's unplugged... And grounded first obviously

[wild talon]

ive been using my ps4 pro cable for my Xbox one for years now but ive got no idea if its safe or not

[true plinth]

Just jamming metal Bobby pins in a charger is gonna be a bad time.

[mellow roost]

I mean I really wouldn't recommend doing either without the proper tools (or expertise). Depending on the hardness of the materials involved, you could really do some damage.

[haughty shard]

Holy crap I was about to say u gotta get the explorer role now I have it!! I just noticed lmao thanks guys

[cinder veldt]

A CD

[sterile sequoia]

havent seen a cd in a while

[haughty shard]

Remember the term "burn a cd" good times lol

[cinder veldt]

I burnt a DVD late last year

[haughty shard]

Ayyy

Worlds going digital. Sad😔😔

[idle spear]

I did last year for some old Windows XP stuff

[cinder veldt]

I did to get ubuntu on my retro PC

[idle spear]

You have to put the drivers on the actual install disc for XP otherwise it doesn’t work

[sterile sequoia]

think the last disc that i was was a ps5 disc for fifa 23

[silk mountain]

Don’t burnt dvds degrade after 10 years or something? I could be wrong

[haughty shard]

Tbh I don't even know what burning a cd means I just know the term. I'm a 1999 baby so I'm kinda aware💀💀

I grew up with Gameboys and consoles. We had 1 computer growing up but that was used for my parents and their emails lol

[silk mountain]

Gameboy advance?

[haughty shard]

Yeahhh dude!! I also a DS lite bro

[night fern]

I've got this weird issue with my Xbox one where it will randomly tries to eject a disc from it when im not even touching it

[scarlet river]

Ah, I remember making custom XP and even Win7 install discs with all the required drivers and latest updates on them. Would even put my product key in. Made building new desktops so much easier at work

[idle spear]

Well for windows xp you needed the actual iso and then the drivers you want with it and burn them to a disc. Burning discs was pretty common for music mainly or maybe storing files on

[haughty shard]

Is "burning" basically just "transferring" data to another cd?

[scarlet river]

It's writing data to a CD, DVD or blu-ray disc.

There is no actual "burning" involvced

[haughty shard]

Like if u wanted ur song on a cd u would "burn" it

[idle spear]

Yeah it was pretty common before USB 2.0 was a thing and affordable

[haughty shard]

Man technology is moving to fast lol

[silk mountain]

I remember it used to take forever to copy and say, backup files, needed to do it overnight or some such

[haughty shard]

Welp I'm gonna spend another 10 dollars just to get my old gamertag back cuz this new one sucks💀

[silk mountain]

Even installing windows took like overnight

[haughty shard]

Sheeesh overnight

[sterile sequoia]

again? how many times did you change ur gt?

[haughty shard]

I had my "TitanComedy" for 9 years. I had to create a new xbox account back in 2014 cuz my og one got hacked. 9 years the same name and I change it smh. I only changed it once since 2014😂

[halcyon stratus]

There were a couple different types of media. The blueish green organic ones deteriorated fast but were cheap.

But yea home burnt disc don’t last as long as@people assume

[haughty shard]

Back to TitanComedy lol. I liked Rated M but the numbers after it is super cringe

[sterile sequoia]

yup ive noticed saw it wrong mybad

[halcyon stratus]

Numbers aren’t super cringe

[haughty shard]

I'm that guy that can't stand numbers in my gt lol

[halcyon stratus]

Many services just said to heck with it and forced everyone to have numbers even if unique.

[haughty shard]

Nah I'll spend 10 just to remove numbers😂😂

[sterile sequoia]

like cod still has and discord had until few months ago

[haughty shard]

I mean I'll give xbox credit. The 360 wouldn't even allow u to have the same name. At least new gen xbox allows u but u gotta have numbers after it lol

Rated M sounds so sick tho if it was just that no numbers but oh well

What u gonna do ya know?

[tired hare]

The Finals is blowing up for some reason and I don't understand why. players are 250 health, maps are too big, it takes 30 seconds to respawn

[mellow roost]

No, but I've seen the one where they count the number of jump cuts after he shoots the dude. 🤣

[tired hare]

xbox series x is my first console

[scarlet river]

Still can't beat 'Taken'

[haughty shard]

Nice!!! I downgraded and got the series s lol not patient enough lol

[subtle trout]

series s/x is better than last gen to be fair, I just brought the series x on sale because it came with a bundle of mw3 for free

[haughty shard]

I coulda saved a load of moola if I didn't buy the digital only console but ya know what? I have zero regrets. Digital only is a WIN

It makes more use outta gamepass u know

[subtle trout]

Also is it me or do you guys still get gamepass for £1 every 14 days

[haughty shard]

16.99 per month

[scarlet river]

No. I've legitimately bought my GamePass subscription.

[subtle trout]

It’s the third time now

And it’s charging me £1

[haughty shard]

Gamepass is genuinely lit. Ppl who complain about gamepass aren't ambitious ngl

[lyric jetty]

yeah sometimes it decides it wants to pop up as a rejoin offer as well as a new member offer

[subtle trout]

I’m not complaining 😂

I feel like CEX shops are heaven on earth for disc games

[mellow roost]

Okay so I went into the comment section, and...yeap, you guessed it, it's a bunch of Europeans in there asking why Americans build their houses out of wood.

"Tornados," we say.

"We get tornadoes too," they say.

Yeah not like this, chief. American weather is bigger and badder than whatever little dust storm you got going on over there. 💀

Brick houses turn into thousands of missiles traveling at 200 MPH.

Tornadoes over here will rip hospitals out of the ground.

Like, please. 🤣

[subtle trout]

are all American weather like this

[mellow roost]

American weather can get pretty damn severe across the board, yeah. Although I think it's mostly the spinny weather that has such a dramatic difference between here and over there.

[gray latch]

I think wood is more plentiful here as well

[mellow roost]

Yep. That too.

[raw quail]

Collect wood

[uneven river]

https://tenor.com/view/twister-movie-helen-hunt-bil-paxton-cow-gif-17038107

[mellow roost]

Earthquakes...are generally not all that bad...I think? Wood houses can flex, and the infrastructure in earthquake-heavy areas is usually (or at least usually for the highrise buildings) built on these wobbly things that can shake with the earth so it doesn't drop to the ground.

[stray beacon]

That scene in Rob Zombies Halloween 2 with the cow when the coroners are driving always kills me. It's so abrupt

[raw quail]

Ever thought about dialling down the crazy weather?

[mellow roost]

But tornadoes? Forget it. You get an F5 in a small city (larger ones have a harder time developing the weather, I'd imagine due to all the tall buildings?) and it'll get erased.

[haughty shard]

Time for chipotle

Lol no way nice. Me too

[gray latch]

bricks are way worse in an earthquake

[haughty shard]

Wth I'm like 15 min away from kylie😂😂😂

[mellow roost]

I'm thinking they would just shatter/crumble.

[haughty shard]

U know mahtomedi?

[gray latch]

yeah they fall apart, especially old buildings

[mellow roost]

No?

[cinder veldt]

I wish I had such distance there, would gladly meet them

[mellow roost]

Wait didn't like...what was it? San Francisco or something have a huge earthquake like a hundred years ago that destroyed the entire city?

[haughty shard]

It's white bear lakes next door neighbor. U got white bear lake which I grew up. U got east u got mahtomedi u got even further east then u got stillwater

[mellow roost]

Ah, I see. I've only been here for a year-ish, so I'm still learning the areas.

[haughty shard]

Welcome to minnesoootah

[sterile sequoia]

woa 💀 minnesota is like 5 times bigger then a whole country where i live in

[haughty shard]

I hate the winters but other than that MN is great state lol

[mellow roost]

Out of curiosity (and if you don't wanna say what country), what region of the world are you from?

[gray latch]

yeah that was partly bc of fires tho. in Seattle 2001 several brick buildings were damaged and in my hometown there's a statue of a kid who saved others from falling bricks in a quake around 100years ago

[haughty shard]

Europe?

[mellow roost]

Oh NL.

[haughty shard]

Man my friend said he was ready an hour ago. Time to call💀💀

[lyric jetty]

all I see everytime someone types NL is NorthernLion

[mellow roost]

It's kinda cheating to use Alaska, but...it's our biggest state.

49 more of those (but smaller, obviously).

[sterile sequoia]

europe is soo small compared to america

[haughty shard]

Don't move to Minnesota unless u like scraping a 2 inch layer of ice off ur windshield at 7am then shovel 4ft of snow when u get home from 8 hours of work 💀👍

[limber carbon]

Just so you know, there are tornadoes in Switzerland as well 😅

[mellow roost]

Keep in mind the Mercatur projection kinda makes this all screwy, but yeah.

You can drive for 12 hours and still be in Texas.

That would be several countries in Europe.

America is stupid large.

So when people are like, "Oh we're gunna go to Disney in Florida and then visit the Statue of Liberty in New York!" they might as well be saying they're gunna try driving from Turkey to Moscow in a single day.

T5 for context (number columns are Track Length, Track Width and Track Area)

[limber carbon]

It will definitely safe a lot of time if you had night trains

[uneven river]

Driving 3 hours to get to next state already has me exhausted couldn't imagine doing coast

[mellow roost]

Okay maybe not Moscow, maybe closer-ish to Ukraine, but still. It's not at all a short distance.

[sterile sequoia]

are flights to diffent states common?

[mellow roost]

Yes.

In fact that's generally how people do it, if they can afford flights. Driving to different states really sucks, especially if you're in the southwest which is mostly desert, so you'll be driving for hours and all you see is brown rocks.

Granted they're very pretty brown rocks, but it's brown rocks.

[tacit robin]

you can fly New York to Florida in around 2.30 hrs though

[gray latch]

generally in the west you'd fly if you're going more than one state away imo

[uneven river]

The 95 north to south has long stretches where it's nothing but trees and it sucks

[mellow roost]

Yeah, flying is much, much more doable. I was more referring to the people who say they'll drive the distance.

[mellow roost]

Makes more sense. Western states are so much bigger.

[sterile sequoia]

driving that long is horible

[gray latch]

"west" meaning west of the Mississippi

[sterile sequoia]

every summer break we are going to spain, france or italy. that is like a 12hr drive

and that is only 1200km?

[mellow roost]

I used to make this drive on a regular basis. It was torturous because there's just nothing between Phoenix and Vegas.

[tacit robin]

the US is massive but you can get around pretty quickly. In the UK a train to go from Manchester to London is about 3 hours thats 200 miles ish

[sterile sequoia]

here you can get from leeuwarden to groningen in like 2 hours i think?

[halcyon stratus]

Oh I’m too busy to write my normal rant about Europeans claiming Americans are uncultured based on the “I had visited 10’ different countries by the age of 2 and you’ve never left yours” thing

Visiting 10 countries is the same amount of effort as visiting 3 states here lmao

[limber carbon]

Wasn't that Australians?

[fair apex]

Hi is there any Muslim gamers here??

[mellow roost]

Oh this is nothing (relative to us). This is how long some people drive to work. 😄

[gray latch]

I-90 has a major league ballpark at both the Seattle end and the Boston end :)

[halcyon stratus]

I love the signs that are like “get gas here even if you don’t think you need it because there is not another gas station for 300 miles”

[fair apex]

That’s too long 😆

[mellow roost]

Terrifying, honestly. 💀

[uneven river]

There's signs like that in NC i-95

[sterile sequoia]

rookie numbers compared to americans 😂

[halcyon stratus]

The dead zones also don’t have cell phone service anymore since analog cell phones and like gen 1 digital were shut down

[uneven river]

They finally added some gas stations along the trip in the last 2 years thankfully

[mellow roost]

Yeah I think that's another culture shock when people from smaller countries visit America.

A 30-45 minute drive is seen as normal distance, but I've heard English people say they don't visit family because that's too long of a drive. 😆

[gray latch]

wow

[fair apex]

💯 right

[sterile sequoia]

im already bored if i have to take a 20 minute train

[halcyon stratus]

Ahh the “around the corner” Texan meme

[lyric jetty]

literally the furthest you can drive here

[fair apex]

10-20 mins to the shop and sorted but holy America has so much roads!!

[uneven river]

A youtuber did that in smallest car, decent video besides all the youtuber screaming

[sterile sequoia]

i have 3 big grocery stores in a 5 minute walk distance

[uneven river]

There's a dollar tree and a gas station within 15 minute walk here

[halcyon stratus]

In a 20 minute walk to the grocery store or a 2 minute drive lol

But I’ve definitely@lived places where the convenience store was a 10 minute drive and the real@grocery store was 30 minutes (each way)

[uneven river]

Place I used to live was a 45min walk to a corner store that only sold drinks candy and microwave sandwiches 😆

[tired hare]

@trail sluice hi hassan

yo

[sterile sequoia]

also those big stores like target and walmart dont exist here

[uneven river]

I find it interesting when people ask such here

[tired hare]

[halcyon stratus]

We didn’t have a target or Walmart where I grew up. Closest were an hour. Same@with stores@like bestbuy or compusa

[tired hare]

yoooooo Salam

[tired hare]

add me

btw who still uses Xbox one x

[halcyon stratus]

It is weird to ping someone who hasn’t talked in a year

[uneven river]

[mellow roost]

"Still" as if we have any new options. 😄

Oh you meant One X.

[tired hare]

One x I meant 😭😭😭😭

[idle spear]

I have a one x in another room, mostly gets used for blu rays

[tired hare]

I’m thinking if I should upgrade to series s but will it be lesser preformance? I don’t know about any specs

[regal shell]

The Series S is far more powerful than the One X

[mellow roost]

There's a fun fact about the size of Texas but I can't remember it.

It's something about there's a city in Texas that's closer to Chicago, Illinois than it is to another city in Texas.

[idle spear]

Series X would be a nicer upgrade

[tired hare]

I could just buy a ps5 for the same amount of money

I just wanna buy a new Xbox for the little lad

isnt the series s and x the same thing but one has a disc drive

[final reef]

Should I start playing Zelda?

[sterile sequoia]

yes

[tulip topaz]

Thinking of buying an Xbox, is the series S just the same as X but the S is cheaper? And will it pretty much run games with like same fps

[halcyon stratus]

It must be more subtle than that because Jacksonville Florida is closer to Atlanta Georgia than it is to key west Florida

[tired hare]

That’s what I’m saying!!!!

[tulip topaz]

Oh I just got here didn’t see what you wrote

[idle spear]

One X can still play old games at 4K and a decent amount of them have enhancements, some BC games have 4K enhancements that series s can’t do but for series optimised games it will usually do better. Series X is no compromise and has the disc drive as well

[halcyon stratus]

No. Series x is more powerful

Series X supports native 4K gaming with its stronger gpu.
Series S cheats and just upscales a 1440 game to 4k

[tulip topaz]

But if I want to play like gta 5 will I get any lag on the S

[tired hare]

Thanks for that I might aswell buy the series x then for the disc cuz I can just get games cheaper

[halcyon stratus]

Different games may support different graphical quality levels, including fps, between an s and an x

[tired hare]

If the series x has 120 fps and my Samsung tv only supports 60hz can I still get 120??

[halcyon stratus]

No

120 is more than 60

[tulip topaz]

I think my tv can only run 1080 so the S best option and way cheaper

[tacit robin]

all games released on series consoles should run though and you shouldnt have any issues just because your on a xbox series s.

[tired hare]

series s is a money grab to be fair with no disc so u have to buy more expensive games online

[halcyon stratus]

No

[tired hare]

I’m just thinking like a cheapskate mate

[halcyon stratus]

Series S is not a “money grab” it is a good budget friendly console alternative

[tulip topaz]

Can’t you just buy that game pass for 10£ a month and you get basically every game with no disc

[tired hare]

Don’t see no cod on there

[halcyon stratus]

Yes. Game pass core has 30 games and game pass ultimate has 500

[tulip topaz]

How much is game pass ultimate

[median pumice]

14.99

[tacit robin]

for the console to be a money grabber it would have to be close to 1000$ if not over. Consoles are sold at a loss

[tulip topaz]

Dollars?

[median pumice]

Monthly

[tacit robin]

euro

[queen lotus]

Bestie points

[halcyon stratus]

I have zero bestie points

[versed swan]

i have uh 9, i would have more if the discord group dm limit wasn't a sad 10 members max

[queen lotus]

That’s good. Most people are negative with late payments

[stray beacon]

Series s is literally the opposite of a money grab what

[rugged mirage]

Haven’t they always been sold at a loss ?

[stray beacon]

How are you going to say the cheapest console is a money grab 💀

[tacit robin]

pretty much especially at the start to mid gen

[stray beacon]

It has no disc drive because it has to have compromises to have an msrp of $300

[rugged mirage]

The disc drive not being there isn’t really a money grabbing move besides every physical copy of a game still requires a digital download

I kinda miss when you could just pop a disc in and play immediately but that’s not really possible anymore

Besides load times were horrendous

[versed swan]

most one/series games aren't a digital download, they're installed from the disc

obviously if a game needs an additional download that's an exception

[stray beacon]

I prefer digital over physical because there's no chance of a digital game breaking, I've had many stupid accidents happen because i was careless

[versed swan]

you can't play immediately because the disc drive can't read everything fast enough

[stray beacon]

But I do get used physical games sometimes because I can't always afford to pay full price

[rugged mirage]

I just like holding a game in my hand but digital is super convenient

my switch library for example is almost all digital

[idle spear]

My switch library is a bit of a mix

[tacit robin]

Wow major incident as been declared in Nottingham due to the floods https://news.sky.com/story/weather-latest-major-incident-river-floods-nottinghamshire-residents-evacuate-storm-henk-13040904 and some other areas effected

[versed swan]

if there was a way to convert an existing physical library into a digital one, i would be fully pro digital

[stray beacon]

When I do eventually upgrade to a series x I'll probably start switching over to buying used games primarily

[rugged mirage]

Yh being forced to constantly switch discs to play a game is annoying

[vernal bridge]

Hi everyone

In script:
Print: hello world

[rugged mirage]

That’s usually what I do when I get physical copies, I don’t really mind tbh

[stray beacon]

Even if you buy new physical games it can be way cheaper than digital, like dark souls remastered is $40 on the Xbox store and I can get the entire trilogy for $35 on amazon

[idle spear]

Physical games are still playable if it gets delisted

[rugged mirage]

Isn’t it usually the opposite though? From what I see digital versions are more often on sale

[wild talon]

disc games are usually cheaper if there used

[stray beacon]

Depends on how old the game is. The dark souls trilogy set came out in 2018 so the price has dropped in the physical editions

[wild talon]

like i managed to pick up ds1 for only £6 on disc

[uneven loom]

any of ya listen to sea shanties?

It'll be about tree fiddy

[mellow roost]

A customer walks into a store to buy themselves a new pair of shoes. The salesperson listens to their needs and brings them to a selection of two different shoes. One pair of shoes is very cheap and will do what they need, and the other pair is more expensive while also accomplishing the same goal.

Unfortunately, the customer can't afford the more expensive shoes, so they go with the cheaper ones.

Another customer walks into the store, has the same experience, except this time they can afford the more expensive shoes.

The customer who could only afford the cheaper shoes came back for more shoes within 6 months, whereas the customer who bought the more expensive shoes didn't return for years.

[rugged mirage]

It’s a joke

[stray beacon]

I always forget I have elden ring in my library. It was literally the reason I upgraded from my launch xbox one to my series s and I constantly forget about it

[distant plover]

anyone wanna play gartic phone

[mellow roost]

Digital is the expensive pair of shoes.

[wild talon]

ive got elden ring on Xbox one it runs like crap

[uneven loom]

i would but i gotta leave soon

[wild talon]

it drops to as low as 15fps sometimes

[uneven river]

I got a series x for disc games and have only bought 5 since I got it but alot of digital 🤔

[versed swan]

even then "physical is cheaper" can be flat out untrue, look up the price difference between asuras wrath physical and digital, your mind will be blown

[distant plover]

🫵 👍

[rugged mirage]

I’d say that’s most people

[wild talon]

disc games usually getter cheaper over time tho and digital stay the same

[uneven river]

I bought borderlands 3 for $20 physical and some months later the pandora collection is $30 over and over

[idle spear]

If you already own it yeah. Don’t think there has been many games that have physically been pulled from getting server downloads and updates.

[lyric hemlock]

I need some help

[wild flax]

THEN

[lyric hemlock]

So I just bought this sea gate gaming extra storage and installed hella games. It made me transfer them to the hard drive, but not if I wanna play them I have to move them back to my console

[wild flax]

Epic games

[fluid creek]

sounds like you didn't get the expansion card

that's by design

[lyric hemlock]

How do I play the games without having to move them back to my Xbox

[fluid creek]

stop spamming please, mimikyu

[lethal knot]

Is there a plants vz zombies server

[fluid creek]

you don't, if it's a series X|S game, you have to play it off the internal or the expansion card

[wild flax]

You're cool

[sterile sequoia]

what did google tell?

[lethal knot]

In discord

[lyric hemlock]

Is that the new Xbox?

[fluid creek]

yes

[sterile sequoia]

you can google discord servers

[lyric hemlock]

Is there a way to play those games from the hard drive

[fluid creek]

Stop. Spamming.

[fluid creek]

i just said no twice

lol

[lyric hemlock]

Aight mb thanks

[wild flax]

Fine,..... Then mee6.xyz

[lethal knot]

I’m searching them in discord and it’s not working

[wild flax]

Bruh website is Rick roll

[lyric hemlock]

Wait so what’s the point of getting this if all the new games are xbox series x|s

[fluid creek]

what is "this"

your hard drive?

[lyric hemlock]

The hard drive

[fluid creek]

extra storage so you don't have to reinstall

just move

[lyric hemlock]

But you still have to install it back to the console

[fluid creek]

it's just moving it

not installing it

so doesn't cost internet data

[lyric hemlock]

Ah ok

[mellow roost]

Something that servers usually do is they use their custom links, and if you're aware of different abbreviations or parts of the fandom, you can find servers.

I typed in pvz in the server joiner and got a PVZ server.

[lethal knot]

Oh

[sterile sequoia]

anyways im heading to bed,

bye bye👋

[tired hare]

Rest well goodnight

[idle spear]

Probably not that different by I’d go with switch

[lethal knot]

I don’t think it’s the official one

[mellow roost]

If you're looking for an official one, then try the official social media accounts on Twitter or their website.

[idle spear]

I guess if that’s the only game you want to play online then iPad version might work out better

[tired hare]

is warzone 3 good

[long maple]

warzone 3 already?

[idle spear]

They updated the mechanics to be like MW3 now I think

[loud hatch]

Hi

[fluid creek]

hi

[tired hare]

Hi Samtasaurus

[final cove]

It's okay. It's what you'd expect from CoD for better or for worse

The worst part about the game is the size of it

[thin nimbus]

Does a normal microphone work to chat? For xbox ?

That would be for PC?

[halcyon stratus]

No

Xbox needs a headset for simplicity

Ayy

[obsidian kayak]

How would yall safely clean oculus lens

Without scratching them lol

[halcyon stratus]

can you just buy a new set?

because that's how I keep my tissues clean

[idle spear]

Microfibre cloth I guess

[obsidian kayak]

New set of lens?

You’d have to do self repair to do that

I have 2 lens on top each other tho

Prescription one and the default ones

[tired hare]

When I try to move a game to an external storage it says it won’t be playable

Does that mean that my external storage is just completely useless and I wasted $70?

[idle spear]

You can only store series games on usb storage

[tired hare]

So I did waste $70 😭

[idle spear]

They can only be played from internal drive or expansion card

[south robin]

I need gamepass again

[obsidian kayak]

Buy a non stackable code for ultimate

[maiden gyro]

can someone help me with my problem in Community support

[south robin]

How much it is bc My gamepass 1$ and I'm broke rn

@obsidian kayak

[quiet mountain]

Hey! How can I turn off the feature of my Elite Series 2 controller powering off after a set of time?

[rain locust]

Hi i know this might not be the channel but does anyone know why my friend can talk to me on discord and he joins party on pc xbox app but he cant talk only hear, literally has permissions from the app to his mic, the pc recognizes his mic so what could it be

[halcyon stratus]

lol i was teasing

i was trying to twist the "use tissues to clean it" around with the "i just throw away my dirty tissues and buy new ones" line but it didn't work 😉

but yea, microfiber cloths are the way to go for glass like that

[halcyon stratus]

You can play all your legacy games from teh external. Many(most?) of us have an external drive and in the settings have set the xbox to automatically install non-SeriesXS games and apps to it. That way you save the 'good' storage for the games that actually need it

[lusty cipher]

So I happen to have $25 on my Xbox/Microsoft account, and I was wondering if yall have any recommendations I could get? Either Exclusives or nice deals

I already bought Halo Collecion

[fluid creek]

that's better lol

what do you think?

[open flume]

people are stupid.

especially on the internet.

[mellow roost]

...You can't be serious.

[open flume]

i cannot

[fluid creek]

i mean i'd still like an answer

[mellow roost]

Oh. Phew, I thought... 💀

[fluid creek]

my question was serious.

[mellow roost]

I'd say that's probably more likely.

[light panther]

what’s the point of having money if there’s no sale to spend your money on

[mellow roost]

Saving money is a thing that exists. Just because you have money doesn't mean you need to spend it. 😄

[light panther]

I don’t need anything but I want things

my gf doesn’t love me enough to buy me a £700 at-at

[trim remnant]

Ik I ask alot of questions but puting ur Xbox one s on 120 Hz although it dosent support does it make games smoother and all

[fluid creek]

it probably does nothing

[trim remnant]

Oh ok

[mellow roost]

Love isn't measured in dollars, and £700 is...to be honest, a pretty big chunk of change.

[fluid creek]

if my SO spent $700 on me i'd die

(need an SO first, don't worry not dying anytime soon lol)

[lunar tartan]

If Kylie spent that much on me I’d force her to return it

[mellow roost]

I would go into hiding. I'm so sheepish when it comes to getting gifts, I wouldn't know what to do with all the generosity.

Not that I'd be ungrateful, obviously not, it's just like a..."damn, you really giving this to me?" type deal.

[lunar tartan]

Kylie got me some haribo sweet and sour hearts at the store (of course I picked it out) that was a nice gift and was pretty inexpensive

[fluid creek]

someone tried to send me flowers and i panicked and said no lmao

[mellow roost]

😂

I believe it.

[open flume]

note: send sam something outrageous for her birthday

[light panther]

No persona 3 and 4 is leaving gp

Even as a kid of course I was grateful but I felt bad when my parents got me something expensive

[lunar tartan]

You get a new car! 😅

[fluid creek]

[dusky hazel]

[fluid creek]

ironically i'm shopping for cars

[Flatbed truck loaded to capacity with Squishables slowly pulls up]

[fluid creek]

but then return them all

[open flume]

LOL

[fluid creek]

😂

[open flume]

once squished, cannot be returned sam

[lunar tartan]

If you return them then you’d still have cash as a gift 😛

[mellow roost]

"Okay we have processed the return, here's your $30,000 back."

Fantastic, now Sam has to deal with the gift of a boatload of money.

[fluid creek]

i refuse

dear god lmao

[open flume]

for christmas, i made my wife a brrr basket and she did somewhat the same. "this is too much i cant have all this"

[fluid creek]

i'd buy everyone a sundae

[open flume]

yall we gotta uplift and celebrate the women ladies in our lives

[fluid creek]

what's a brr basket

[open flume]

it was a tiktok thing. they had boo baskets for halloween which was like you put fun halloween stuff that theyd like in a basket (or buy one if youre lazy)

so, same concept but for winter

[mellow roost]

Oh that's adorable.

[fluid creek]

awwwwwwwwww

[lunar tartan]

Kylie doesn’t like expensive things either 😅 she’d probably have a heart attack if I gifted her something super expensive

[open flume]

Blanket, a book on Oprah's book club list, stanley mug, face masks, soaps, shower steamer, chai tea, fuzzy socks, lip balm, etc

for you know the 12 days its cold here

[lunar tartan]

Stanley mugs have been around for years. It so wild how they took off last year

[fluid creek]

taht's adorable

you done gud

i think our dog is trying to sleep in it now tho

[shy nexus]

I have a pretty serious problem with Xbox enforcement. Where can I go to share it with someone at Microsoft and have these issues fixed?

[fluid creek]

i mean, ordinarily no one here can help with enforcement

[shy nexus]

I’m aware, just wondering if there’s a place I can go to talk to someone that can help

[fluid creek]

what's the problem?

[lunar tartan]

Chedder said you kidnapped him to play the Halo series 😂

[upper meteor]

Whaaat? Me? I would never do that...

[shy nexus]

I’ve had some nasty interactions with players recently, but because they don’t use any key words (which seems to only be swears) in conversation, my reports do nothing.

[errant plover]

I has a question

[lunar tartan]

Suuuuuuuure

[errant plover]

I activated dev mode how do i turn it back to the original xbox

[fluid creek]

[halcyon stratus]

From the dev mode app

[errant plover]

No worky

[halcyon stratus]

It does

[errant plover]

It no no wanna

[halcyon stratus]

Ok

[versed swan]

ig its extra cost to produce a full kit but why did xbox let dev mode be so accessable? it leads to stuff like that

[halcyon stratus]

dev mode is great. making home development accessable to everyone is great. college kids and high school kids with no money have made plenty of games for other platforms.

there is only so much a company should be expected to do to guard against someone who can't click the "Leave" button

[versed swan]

sure but i feel there should be more there should be more barriers for eligibility so most people don't use it to break tos

[fluid creek]

most people using dev mode are doing it legitimately

[halcyon stratus]

and xbox has definitely struck down on people that were using it for naughtytimes

[kindred sentinel]

I’d presume they have analytics to tell them that too

[tired hare]

Oh what do you mean naughtytimes?

[sullen forum]

People breaking the terms of service

[tired hare]

Oh okay

We have a cup at work halfway full of foreign coins. Most are Canadian. A lot of the time we don't notice customers will use them to pay for their purchase. We usually catch it at night when we count the registers.

[mellow roost]

Jokes aside, I think you'd have a lot of fun.

Every time I've made something simple, it's felt rewarding, so it would be a good use of time.

[trail harness]

I got through Ghostwire Tokyo, Persona 5, Nier Automata, Super Mario 64 and some others

[cloud crest]

can i reinstall windows from SD (assuming it has an SD card port)

[trail harness]

Ghostwire was an amazing experience for me

[woven glacier]

This is the second time I beat it, once in my brothers xbox and now on mine

[cloud crest]

i see the appeal but the game wasnt for me 😦

[haughty ocean]

is 4 ping good?

[mellow roost]

Super neat game for sure. It didn't hold my interest all the way through, but it was a pretty cool.

[short mantle]

I plan on starting Close to the Sun soon. It's being compared to Bioshock, but with a lot more horror.

[lunar tartan]

I’ve really only ever beat Hi-Fi Rush. I beat it on easy and normal/medium (don’t remember what it was called)

[lunar tartan]

4 ping? Do you live in the router? 😂

[trail harness]

Red Faction Armageddon and Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force I beat on every difficulty level lol

[mellow roost]

Did you get Mr. Toots?

[lunar tartan]

Huh?

[trail harness]

yes

[trail harness]

I unlocked everything. I got every audio log too.

[mellow roost]

Mr. Toots is a weapon in Red Faction: Armageddon. It's a mini unicorn that shoots a rainbow laser beam out its butt.

[lunar tartan]

lol sounds like something that should be in borderlands

[trail harness]

As soon as I found that the cheats don't count against you at all in RFA, I went crazy after unlocking them

[trail harness]

plasma cannon spam everywhere lol

[short mantle]

I beat Armageddon, but I don't remember a unicorn weapon. It's probably for the best.

[trail harness]

magnet gun is also very fun

slam two enemies into each other and both die

we need more games with these kinds of weapons

[short mantle]

Fracture had some crazy weapons. Not many people played it

[trail harness]

Earth Defense Force series has some really fun weapons too

I like to use the wing diver and laser the face off the enemies

im definitely buying EDF 6 on Steam when it launches

[sage ice]

ask your parent

[halcyon stratus]

yes

[short mantle]

Get your parent to turn it off

[wind merlin]

im 17

[halcyon stratus]

so, not 18

[trail harness]

The UI is kinda bad but it does work well

[wind merlin]

wdym

[halcyon stratus]

17 isn't 18

[sage ice]

you need parental controls still

[wind merlin]

i need to be 18?

[halcyon stratus]

assuming you're in america

[sage ice]

yes, that is why your parents set it up

[halcyon stratus]

if your parents turned it on, your parents can turn it off.

[radiant remnant]

What there saying is because your technically still underage of being an Adult you should still have the parental controls.

[wind merlin]

aight

[radiant remnant]

Maybe this might help.

[trail harness]

reminds me of when I bought a used console that had parental control on it... different situation entirely ofc

I found this song on a Twitter video of 2 cats hugging eachother (don’t ask me why). It was cute and I liked the song so that’s a plus. 😊

[radiant remnant]

I recently got Spotify, so I’ve been listening to none stop Cyberpunk OST’s and radio songs. I love the game so much 🥹

I watched the Show a year ago or 2 ago so it was nice to hear some of those classics.

[versed swan]

[mossy ore]

After coming out I can't seem to stomach a lot of rap I used to like

[dim girder]

and that In Da Club song is still getting radio play consistently. dude is set for life of that one song XD

[mellow roost]

The entire rap culture is super hateful in some ways, so I mean that's perfectly valid.

[dim girder]

it also has almost 2B views on YouTube

[mossy ore]

That or the artist went insane

[molten briar]

Hey Kylie, Photograph turns 20 next year

[dim girder]

this is unfortunately very true... i don't understand how rappers like DaBaby and Lil Boosie are still liked by some people

[mellow roost]

I started distancing myself from the ones who just take the homophobia too far, only really had to cut out...less than I would have expected, but still a fair bit.

[mossy ore]

I actually just removed all of Eminem from my library (I was like why is Apple Music auto playing him before)

[dim girder]

rap is the one Music Genre, where people will just completely forget about the bad things an Artist has done, and will even cook up excuses to defend them. smh

[halcyon stratus]

lol what

[cloud crest]

ik his old stuff was a bit edgy, is his new stuff bad as well?

[dim girder]

what's funny?

[halcyon stratus]

that's every genre

[dim girder]

not from our experience

[halcyon stratus]

not a single music genre exists that doesn't have a bad person who is glossed over becuase they make good music

[mellow roost]

Kinda feel like rock/metal takes the crown for that one especially, because WOO.

What a bunch of problems with instruments.

[mossy ore]

I think his new stuff is better.

[mellow roost]

It's gotten to the point where I'm like...okay do I look up all these bands or do I remain ignorant since most of them are probably garbage people?

[cloud crest]

oh is what u said not in response to someone saying that "rap culture is very hateful" etc.?

[mossy ore]

Get Rich or Die Trying can legally drink this year

[dim girder]

Eminem is overrated as heck at this point... ofc he's still a good Artist, but dang. his fanbase praises him like a God way too much.

[dim girder]

wanted to say this earlier lol

[queen stump]

Doesn't that represent every fanbase, though?

[halcyon stratus]

yes

[dim girder]

[halcyon stratus]

i think you might be more biased against rap than you recognize 😉

[dim girder]

yes, it does

[mossy ore]

Also was the first song I bought on iTunes

[dim girder]

nope. i love Rap and Pop Music. in fact it's almost all i listen to

[short mantle]

Not many artists can touch Eminem in terms of pacing, flow, storytelling and rhythm. He’s considered the best because he is the best. You don’t have to like him, but you can’t doubt his talent.

[mellow roost]

Eminem is the greatest there ever was for so many reasons. That being said, I can understand his lyrics being seen as problematic and I can understand how some of his fans are obnoxious.

I kinda don't know if LGBT hate is something I'd attribute to him though. I mean...his best friend is Elton John and the anniversary present Eminem gave him and his husband is kinda not something...a hateful person thinks to gift.

He just uses super abrasive words, and has even apologized if he feels he went too far.

[dim girder]

2pac is the best, and no one will ever touch him... in our opinion ofc

[queen stump]

Friendly fire.

[mossy ore]

Yeah it's more of I just need to avoid a few of his older songs

Forgot how good mockingbird was

[dim girder]

what??? what are you talking about? please stop acting like you know us, and accusing us of not liking Music Genres that we very much so love

[cloud crest]

should i put the OS on the drive with the most storage or least? (theyre both hard disk drives)

[queen stump]

Who's "us"?

[mellow roost]

I mean I'd say it does. There's gunna be whack fans of anything.

I mean just look at how mental people went over Undertale or Homestuck.

[cloud crest]

probably not something u want to get into

[dim girder]

OSDD System... ofc i'm not talking about everyone here 🤦‍♀️

[short mantle]

2Pac isn’t in the same hemisphere as Eminem lyrically. Yes, 2Pac is great, but he can’t touch Eminem. I’ve been listening to rap/hip-hop almost all my life. I was born in 83.

[mellow roost]

Tupac is for sure one of the greats, there's no denying that, but like...

[mossy ore]

Also do people know what artist I'm talking about that went crazy?

[mellow roost]

Hot take, I think there's people better than Tupac too. Biggie, KRS-One, and some others I'm too tired to remember.

[dim girder]

LOL that's a blasphemous statement to us, but aight 😭 your GOAT is your GOAT, i can live with that

[mellow roost]

Busta Rhymes, surely.

[fluid creek]

busta is amazing

[dim girder]

YES

[fluid creek]

he held some record for speed talking

[short mantle]

2Pac has one flow. Even though 2Pac is great, Eminem has multiple.

[dim girder]

Busta Rhymes is special. we'd say him and Tech N9ne are better than Eminem

[mossy ore]

Hear me out. Linkin Park. Collision Course

[halcyon stratus]

no one ever talks about krs one 😦

[mossy ore]

Speaking of rappers who remembers Mike Shinoda

[dim girder]

lol KRS One 😭

[mellow roost]

Even if I disagree I can still see how someone would like Busta over Eminem, but...Tech N9ne?

[lunar tartan]

Mike Shinoda is alright but he’s nowhere near the level Eminem is on

[dim girder]

we're allowed to like a certain artist over another...

[short mantle]

Yeah, but you keep saying “we” like you’re speaking for other people.

[mossy ore]

The Rising Tied

[lunar tartan]

The problem with Mike Shinoda imo and the reason I don’t listen too often to his first solo album is he lacks his own identity. Some songs sound way too similar to linkin park

[dim girder]

please stop... i am saying "we" because we are an OSDD System...

ofc we're not speaking for everyone else

[fluid creek]

...how do you expect people to know this?

[short mantle]

What lol

[dim girder]

we don't. that's why we explained

[halcyon stratus]

after getting mad lol

[mossy ore]

Anyone heard the song Kenji from The Rising Tied

[fluid creek]

you don't get to get upset when someone doesn't know.

[dim girder]

don't laugh. it's not a laughing matter.
just look up "OSDD System" on Google

[fluid creek]

again

[short mantle]

lol

[fluid creek]

you don't get to get mad at others

[halcyon stratus]

i don't know if there are any krs one youtubes i can share lol... i'll get hit with a bad word

[fluid creek]

for not knowing.

[mossy ore]

Eminem has one song that's almost clean. And that's mocking bird

[dim girder]

we are not getting mad, we're just saying. please stop accusing us of things.

[fluid creek]

that's not how this works.

[dim girder]

wdym? we're literally not getting mad, what are you talking about?

[fluid creek]

i'm not accusing anyone of anything.

but if people don't know, this is pretty inflammatory.

the more appropriate approach was "hey, sorry you weren't aware but {insert explanation}"

[dim girder]

because they accused us of trying to speak for everyone else, when that wasn't true. it was a little irritating, but we were not "mad".

[dim girder]

fair enough. apologies

[mossy ore]

Been listening to a lot of AJR.

https://song.link/i/1710182178

[molten briar]

People missed the first time they mentioned the system it seems

#general-chat message

[fluid creek]

i missed it

unrealistic to expect everyone to know what's going on 24/7

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dim girder]

thank you... like we had already mentioned it once. so it can be a little irritating to have to repeat ourselves. i guess we might have to tho

[lunar tartan]

Chats been moving pretty quickly too

[dim girder]

we don't expect that?

[fluid creek]

it is unrealistic to expect everyone to know/see everything that happens in chat.

[fluid creek]

this says differently.

[dim girder]

we didn't expect that 😭

[dim girder]

omg... we were just saying. we don't expect everyone to see chat 24/7. geez

[lunar tartan]

I don’t mean this to be pushy or anything but maybe it could be helpful for you to add it to your bio? Might be a little easier for people to remember?

[fluid creek]

it is not up to everyone in chat to manage or know about your situation.

you can use your bio to provide info but if someone doesn't know, assume positive intent instead of implying someone doesn't care because they don't know.

[dim girder]

again, we never said everyone needed to know everything.

and we did not get mad or assume bad intent, we just explained it. we really think you're misunderstanding us here

[mellow roost]

I mean I think it also doesn't help that you're using non-standard plural designations, which can very easily confuse people. It's not really the same as using, say, they/them pronouns (which of course can be used for plural or singular persons).

If this is out of line then I apologize, but I can't help but get confused too.

[dim girder]

they/them are pronouns, not System terms

[lunar tartan]

I know for me if I saw someone using a pronoun or something I don’t necessarily understand I usually check the bio to make sure I get the full picture

[mellow roost]

Expecting people to uproot their understanding of how English is structured is...quite frankly, unreasonable.

'We', 'you', et cetera are all pronouns too.

You're gunna run into people who misread your messages every day of the week.

[dim girder]

okay we added System to our About Me.

[halcyon stratus]

fwiw, the last person here that was a 'did system' had a link in their bio and it was helpful

[dim girder]

this is very overwhelming...

can we please move on

[dim girder]

we're not expecting that

[mossy ore]

Another thing I don't enjoy now is watching the show House

[dim girder]

so no one is being unreasonable

[halcyon stratus]

House was good to watch once, I don't think i coudl go back adn watch it again

I couldn't watch Nip/Tuck again either

[mossy ore]

I watched it probably like 5 times

[short mantle]

Scrubs is the only medical show I could ever get into. I’ve never watched House, but it doesn’t seem like something I’d enjoy.

[tired hare]

You might like house if you liked scrubs

[final cove]

Breaking Bad > Everything

[mellow roost]

Nip/Tuck was something I always saw commercials for but never tried watching. 🤔

[queen stump]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-walter-white-youre-goddamn-right-gif-14600753

[mossy ore]

House is very annoying as a person

[short mantle]

Scrubs is a comedy, though.

[tired hare]

I liked scrubs but house is clever maybe i would call it a dry sense of humor/sarcasm

[halcyon stratus]

properly executed sarcasm is the highest form of humor

[dim girder]

it's not really "out of line". just don't think you're understanding how Systems talk. which is okay, there's a lot to try and understand about it. even we don't understand it all sometimes lol.

we don't use they/them because it's not the same. we're not upset here, nor were we ever upset or mad. it can just be flustering at times is all.

that's why we wanted to move on because the million words at once, lecturing us about things, was very overwhelming, that's all 🩵

[short mantle]

There is an episode of Scrubs where they make fun of House.

[tired hare]

Exactly TacticaT

[dim girder]

eh... idk. some people use that just to be jerks all day, then say it's just jokes. we hate those kinds of people honestly

[halcyon stratus]

not all humor is for everyone

sarcasm doesn't have to be cruel

[molten briar]

Scrubs playing space invaders, Louie

[molten briar]

Forever one of best ones

[short mantle]

Indeed

I think I’ve gone through it 3-4 times

[obsidian kayak]

What one you guys thinks looks better

[mellow roost]

Left for sure.

Lighting and shadows look kinda funky in the right.

[tired hare]

Left is more clear

[queen stump]

Right, just because Kylie said left.

[tired hare]

Or is this about eye test

[mossy ore]

Well it's bed time for me

[obsidian kayak]

So the left is a capture card with a anime upscaler/filter to 4k and right is the switch default

[mossy ore]

Got a very busy weekend and possibly being snowed in with my GF

[dim girder]

how come only certain people can add emoji reactions?

[halcyon stratus]

that explains why the right looks smoother

the only problem with the right is the brightness is a little low

[mellow roost]

Don't have perms yet.

[halcyon stratus]

the left is too bright and too sharp, some things actually even have broken contrast / sharpness created halos

[dim girder]

when do those come? /gen

[molten briar]

Also to add, ff14 makes fun of house as well

[mossy ore]

Wait what and how

[mellow roost]

Depends. Like image perms, it's based on activity and willingness to follow the rules. Most people seem to gain reaction perms fairly quickly, but image perms can take a few weeks.

[molten briar]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/It's_Not_Lupus

[dim girder]

oh okay. well following the rules shouldn't be an issue for us

[mossy ore]

lol that's a good one :3

[molten briar]

Boss is a giant crab named cancer

[open flume]

anyway wayne's the goat

[mossy ore]

When I hear crab and cancer the first thing that comes to mind is fairy tail

[dim girder]

honestly, we personally don't see how people can say that, but it's a very valid GOAT stance to have. we respect it

[mellow roost]

2000s Crunk was a wild time.

[dim girder]

the best times

[short mantle]

Made you want to fight lol

[dim girder]

2000's in general were Golden

[halcyon stratus]

wow they could have gotten away with cancer=crab and no one noticing, until the lupus joke...

[dim girder]

😆

[mellow roost]

You just be sitting there and then all of the sudden Lil Jon just comes out like SNAP YA FINGAZ! loud as hell. 💀

[open flume]

okay, yeah.

[dim girder]

that song was lit. still is today

when you step up in the club and the boys actin up, what you step up to they face what they gon do!?!?!

i just watched a lil jon mini doc

also if you havent watched his show on HGTV, highly recommend you do

its fantastic

[mellow roost]

US Drill has to have taken the cake for the 2010s though. I don't know where US Drill came from, but god damn, dude.

It's the hardest genre I've heard in years.

[open flume]

oblock, kylie

[dim girder]

can't disagree with that.

One thing I don't like about music is pretty much every love song I hear is for a strait couples

[mellow roost]

You're not wrong.

[open flume]

frank ocean made people think he was talkin bout a girl for YEARS

[short mantle]

Whole album is

[open flume]

what a swerve

[mellow roost]

Pop Smoke, Chief Keef, G Herbo, FBG Duck, Team 600...like...what.

[dim girder]

that album cover today would get them cancelled lol.

although i think the message is supposed to be that they're burning that flag, in that case it might still be okay today.

[tepid cave]

hifi rush worth giving a try?

[queen stump]

Yes.

[mellow roost]

Absolutely!

[molten briar]

Studio killers -Jenny, Tegan and Sara - Closer

[tepid cave]

alr

[mellow roost]

Bangers!

[brave wasp]

@mellow roost I'm on my NG+ for Elden Ring, lol. I immediately speed-ran my way through the dumb pvp+madness quest to get to the farming spot, now I'm all set for another playthrough 😆

[tepid cave]

and how is like a dragon ishin?

[mellow roost]

🎵 I wanna ruin our friendship... 🎵

[dim girder]

what we don't understand is... why is it so frowned upon to be a "studio gangster" now... as if all the Artists nowadays are actually about that life. yeah right XD.

snowflakes

[mellow roost]

I miss being able to headbang without almost knocking myself out. 💀

[molten briar]

There's lots out there, just not as many I'll grant

[mossy ore]

Can't forget listening to System of a Down

[open flume]

sugaaaarrrr

[brave wasp]

Also why is King Ghidora in Elden Ring, LMAO 🤣

[short mantle]

I only know one System of a Down song - Toxicity

[mossy ore]

https://song.link/i/273714713

[open flume]

chop suey

they were wild

[dim girder]

it's just stupid that people can't just let Music be Music now. like you can't just let people make Gangster Rap without actually doing terrible things irl? it's so dumb. 2000's was full of Studio Gangsters and nobody cared back then

[mossy ore]

This one is also good https://song.link/i/159506153

[mellow roost]

Cypress Hill is playing in my head now and I had to remember where I was because I was typing the lyrics out. 💀

[brave wasp]

Serj is a vocalist, he's great in his solo stuff as well as SOAD. Also he guest-starred in a song with The Hu recently 😆

[molten briar]

I was referring to the love song stuff

[mellow roost]

Speaking of vocalists...

Peter Steele.

[mossy ore]

I know one song of theirs because of Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX on the PS1 which is Dust

[dim girder]

ohh. our bad 😆

[mellow roost]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-steele-gif-14892306

[short mantle]

I Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That is a banger. I love the beat.

[brave wasp]

Simply listen to dad rock like Creed, SOAD, Seether, Godsmack, etc 😆

I totally don't have a playlist that's mostly like that

[mellow roost]

I went looking for dad rock and I almost imploded in on myself when it was music I already listened to.

[brave wasp]

Yep 🤣

[molten briar]

I was going to say Kylie about to die over that genre

[mellow roost]

Zungguzungguguzungguzeng.

[molten briar]

I'll throw this out there, Nightwish and Blackmores Night

[mossy ore]

Dave Mirra also introduced me to some Swedish punk

[brave wasp]

Out here with that Alice in Chains, Creed, The Offspring, Chevelle, and Metallica dad combo

[lunar tartan]

Kylie likes nickleback

[mossy ore]

[dim girder]

anyone listen to an Artist named Maggie Lindemann? we recently started listening to her music, she's okay!

[mellow roost]

I know all the lyrics to Hero because of how many times I watched the Raimi Spiderman movies. 💀

[brave wasp]

Nickelback slapped up til All The Right Reasons and I'll die on that hill

Then the meme song happened

[dim girder]

Nickelback made good music, but dang, in retrospect, every song they made was the same lol

[trail harness]

Bad Apple!! is the best meme song

[brave wasp]

Silver Side Up was their last good album

[mellow roost]

Nickelback was exactly what you'd expect a band named Nickelback to look and sound like.

Look like Guitar Hero characters, sound royalty-free.

[hollow hawk]

Chevelle is an artist I've been listening to quite a bit lately

[winter forum]

I still like Nickelback

[open flume]

https://tenor.com/view/look-at-this-graph-nickelback-gif-12683147

[winter forum]

People get upset when they hear monster truck are similar

[mellow roost]

I still got Nickelback on my playlists too.

[dim girder]

lol

[hollow hawk]

Royalty-free without the free.. so royalty?

[molten briar]

Mm, the red

[hollow hawk]

it filters through

[dim girder]

we have almost every Britney Spears Album... like physical Copies, CDs

[lunar tartan]

It’s funny because Psy has put out other music that was super unserious but all they know from him is Gangnam Style 😅

It's not as good though

[tired hare]

I would looove to see the red hot chili peppers live

[mossy ore]

I have an actual HDR display. It's my MacBook Pro and it sucks for gaming as a display

[mellow roost]

I hope I get to see a concert at least once in my life for a band I like.

[mossy ore]

I wish I could have seen Elton John live

[halcyon stratus]

Oh! Hi! It's me!

[lunar tartan]

The pop punk genre has so many creeps and it’s wild how many of them I listen to regularly when I was younger or looked up to that have been exposed

I used to go loads in my teenage years / early 20s

Hey!

[hollow hawk]

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=eUUb1bNlmUs
This one has been on repeat for me recently (along with a pile of other songs by A Perfect Circle)

[mellow roost]

Yep. That's why I stopped. I don't wanna support bad people but when the entire genre is bad people and nobody else makes the same music, it's like...well what do I do?

[hollow hawk]

I'm alive, just got home from a 7 hour shift at work lol

[winter forum]

Make...your own?

[lusty moat]

Wow! Glad to hear you're still alive lol

[molten briar]

The last music event I went to was last June

[lunar tartan]

Maybe not as good but the Hangover music video funny as hell. It also has Snoop Dogg on it

[mellow roost]

Me making music would probably be the most surreal thing.

For others to listen to, I mean.

[elfin cairn]

Doing well hbu

[mossy ore]

I have all the hardware and software to make music. Just lack talent and creativity

[lusty moat]

Glad to hear ^_^ I'm doing good myself. I'm a pngtuber now 🙂 it's fun

[lunar tartan]

When I was younger I wanted to be a recording artist lol

[mellow roost]

It would just be bass, low vocals, slow and reverb, anything that's fun to listen to while partying with nature.

[onyx glade]

hello

[lunar tartan]

I mean you can carry a tube

[winter forum]

Tubular Bells for 2 is probably the most impressive thing I've seen performed live. Just absolutely insane levels of focus and timing etc
