[queen lotus]

It’s sad that I read X as Twitter

[pine frost]

Twitter

[cerulean basin]

They can keep changing its name in every corner of the website and apps, but it'll still continue to be Twitter for me

[odd lynx]

@tired hare that was the brick. hard so much fun back then infact have done till now, only consoles in the range i never had was the slims, always wanted the best ones along with the controllers mm i have a zombie elite controller custom top cover and new default cover due to rubbers coming off

[queen lotus]

Yeah, it’s Twitter to me. I read it like it’s an abbreviation.

[sterile sequoia]

Cant get used to twitters name change

For me it will stay twitter

[cinder veldt]

There is no chance anyone other than Elon thought it was a good change

[still fractal]

hi

[sterile sequoia]

I don’t even use twitter,

[odd lynx]

twitter is always be twitter but i keep getting lost on my phone not to see the blue bird app lol stupid x

[sterile sequoia]

Only social media’s i use is ig, snapchat, and discord and sometimes i use treats

[sterile sequoia]

Im pretty sure you can change app icons on IOS maybe on android too?

[cerulean basin]

Do you know who also loved the letter X?

[odd lynx]

really ?

[fiery python]

You can only change app icons if the app allows it.

[sterile sequoia]

Ah

[young fog]

Naming your company X because X is a cool letter is such a 12-year-old mentality as well lol

[odd lynx]

then musk will send you to mars if you change it lol

[raw quail]

You can make a shortcut to the app with custom name and icon

[cerulean basin]

On iOS I believe you can use Shortcuts to create a launcher for an app, and customize it as you want. A bit of a workaround but oh well... https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/shortcuts/apd5ad5a2128/ios#:~:text=In the Shortcuts app on,icon)%3A%20Tap%20an%20icon.

[odd lynx]

i am on samsung phone

[cerulean basin]

Oh, then it's infinitely easier, though it still depends on the brand

Or rather, whether your phone's Android customizations allow for different icons, or if you need a separate launcher

[odd lynx]

ok will look into it but not sure how long i be on twitter, think it be the last thing i close down, huge group of friends on there that follower me, it maybe left open

[sterile sequoia]

Totally forgot about the shortcut app

[low osprey]

im here to speed chat up again

[sterile sequoia]

You can do some pretty cool things with the shortcuts app

Might going to add custom commands for specific times to turn on my philips hue lights in my room

[narrow mountain]

what is the average gamerscore for an xbox player?

[gray latch]

5

[sage ice]

with so many accounts at 0, that is probably correct

[cinder veldt]

Uh oh

[gray latch]

yep

I saw the number once fr. also the average number of friends is like 1

[halcyon stratus]

if you're just controlling your hue lights then using the actual hue app, or the superior iConnectHue app, with teh schedules that it can push directly in to the hub makes more sense

[cinder veldt]

A bunch of inactive accounts contributing to the stats here 😛

[cerulean basin]

I just use some widgets for my most commonly used Hue scenes

[red wedge]

Idk what my gamerscore is I dont usually look at it

[cinder veldt]

Mine is not at a memorable number

[cerulean basin]

I think either this or next year I'll reach 100.000

[cinder veldt]

I don’t have much hopes for getting far in achievement hunting this year

[swift wave]

should i buy tekken 8 sf6 or nba 2k24 old gen

[cinder veldt]

Hitman

[cerulean basin]

Which one appeals to you the most?

[long maple]

what console do you have, as you bring up " old gen " Tekken 8 is Series only

[swift wave]

2k24 immediately although i heard some bad reviews

[desert sonnet]

Wait. Is the friend number true 😆

[swift wave]

i also have a pc to buy tekken on

[cinder veldt]

I really do hope to get done with GTA V though

[cerulean basin]

I think I've reached Elon's headquarters 😛

Also, I can't believe Captain Boomerang has so far become my favorite character to play as

[cinder veldt]

Oh and also I watched a movie yesterday that was long due for me to watch

[fiery python]

I like the character and his combat is okay, but I really don't like his traversal.

[cerulean basin]

Actually it's the traversal (and shotgun expertise) that appeal to me the most

[fiery python]

The only two I like the travelsal of are King Shark and Deadshot. Deadshot being a distant second.

[cerulean basin]

I got so used to zipping around and about, and also doing mid-range melee attacks

[fiery python]

I've just got Harley left to level up and then they're all at 30.

[tired hare]

Helldivers 2 comes out on Friday. Ayyyyy.

[fiery python]

Once Harley is maxed out I'll be going back to King Shark and sticking with him.

[tired hare]

Protecting Super Earth Liberty since 2015.

And I say...

https://tenor.com/view/heman-hey-gif-6197291

[desert sonnet]

Oh wow this Friday? That's awesome. I was looking forward to that game on PC

And I saw they're gonna add mechs in a later update 😎

[long condor]

is eafc24 ever going on gamepass?

[sage ice]

it will eventually be in Ult

[halcyon stratus]

2025 probably

[tired hare]

YEAH!!!!!

[fiery python]

Usually around May or June

[tired hare]

That reminds me, I should try out Armored Core soon

[long maple]

yeah Euros start in June this year and EA love releasing their games tied to big events like this.

[long condor]

THAT late?

[long maple]

yep that late. you only got a few months to wait.

[cinder veldt]

Oh I found an AVR I want, less good it’s way out of my price range 😆

[gray latch]

pretty

[tired hare]

I'm also seeing that Sony is revisiting a LOT of their PS4 titles and giving them PS5 versions. Stuff like Until Dawn, Uncharted 4 and LL, and they even went back and remade Last of Us. So it got me thinking of what other PS4 games could get a PS5 version. Many people do bring up Bloodborne, though I think about porting some of their VR exclusives (Blood and Truth and Astro Bot probably) to VR2. Maybe also give these titles a PC VR release.

Got me thinking of other PS4 titles. Days Gone, God of War, Horizons seen pretty possible of getting PS5 releases.

[cinder veldt]

$350 may seem cheap, but for that price used I would instead want an AVR with HDMI

[tired hare]

But at the same time these titles were already put on PC, so I don't think the studios warrant revisiting them. I think each title had a logical reasoning for why they did a PS5 and/or PC release

For Until Dawn, my only thoughts are Ballistic Moon is testing the waters out on doing a potential sequel. Studio is made up of former Supermassive devs. The PS5 and PC version are apparently omitting the fixed camera angle of the original and is being rebuilt in Unreal 5, not Decima. Almost draws the line on being a possible remake.

[obsidian jacinth]

I think until dawn is supposed to be getting a full theatrical film? But I’m not 100% sure on that

[tired hare]

Then get got me thinking: Guerrilla confirmed there are several studios working on the Decima engine both inside and outside of Sony. Kojima is the only other studio who would be working on Decima, so I wonder who else is using the engine. Most devs nowadays are using Unreal 5

[tired hare]

Yes it was already confirmed I think 2 weeks ago

[obsidian jacinth]

Would be interesting to see what they go with

[tired hare]

In fact, most studios will use Unreal as an external engine unless they use one either in house at the studio or publisher (ex. Capcom has RE, EA has Frostbite, Ubisoft has Anvil)

[cerulean basin]

Ubisoft also has Snowdrop

[cinder veldt]

Rockstar has RAGE

[tired hare]

For independent studios nowadays, its almost ALWAYS Unreal

[tired hare]

Yeah I get it. Though many of those larger studios under a massive parent company have their own proprietary engine.

[desert sonnet]

Rockstar mad

[lofty barn]

is there a best game engine?

[tired hare]

Source2 I find funny is offered as a free engine, but no one ever uses it outside of Valve.

[tired hare]

I dunno. How a game is made can be differed. Kojima is using both Unreal and Decima for DS2.

[lofty barn]

what's decima?

[desert sonnet]

The RE engine looks really good too

[tired hare]

Guerrilla Games. Horizon series.

[lofty barn]

ohhh nice

[cerulean basin]

I think at Ubisoft right now we use: Anvil, Snowdrop, Unity, Unreal Engine, Dunia, UbiArt Framework and I'm sure I'm forgetting about at least some

[tired hare]

I would say NaughtyDogs engine is the most impressive visually. But I've seen some of the Unreal 5 projects that came out. Pretty cool.

[sage ice]

engines are overrated. Motors are better 🤪

[tired hare]

For Unreal 3, I think Arkham Knight is the best looking

[halcyon stratus]

motors aren't getting us through space.
thrusters or die

[sage ice]

https://tenor.com/view/welcome-to-the-world-of-tomorrow-futurama-gif-18101283

[odd lynx]

shame can not drop an image here i have nice engine to share

[tired hare]

The other alternative is Unity, which some developers use in the indie scene

[cerulean basin]

You can imagine I'm a big proponent of getting Snowdrop as the main engine for even more games 😛

[halcyon stratus]

they should port snowdrop to unreal5 i heard that has the best graphics

[cerulean basin]

To this day, Unity is still the most commonly used game engine by indie studios. Unreal Engine has gained a lot of ground lately, but it's still not as big as Unity in terms of studios using it, I believe.

[vital girder]

I have a Xbox one rainbow six siege disc. I wanna give it to my friend who has an Xbox series X, will the disc work on the series X?

[sage ice]

yes

[vital girder]

👍🏼

[cerulean basin]

I will find out where you live, I will go there, I will infiltrate your home and I will pet your cat before I walk out again

[sage ledge]

is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 good graphics card?

[halcyon stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-wow-shock-drama-ohhh-gif-22585288

[cerulean basin]

Depends on what you will be using it for

[sage ice]

you will pay Tact's cat tax? How nice of you

[cinder veldt]

It does the job for most games at 1080p, if you go for 60fps and it’s not a laptop

[halcyon stratus]

ask me how my morning is going

[sage ice]

how is your morning going Tact?

[fallow moat]

This morning has 🌧️ today

[raw quail]

It’s raining obsidian

[brave wasp]

Methinks it being on UE3 is why the Arkham trilogy never got a next gen port tho

[fallow moat]

BIG rain event for California, Nevada starting today

[halcyon stratus]

coconut ate breakfast (crab and tuna) then ran to the couch to watch the crows in teh yard.

but she ran too fast after eating tuna. so she threw up.

on the leather couch. next to the wall. and down the wall. and under the couch. and in to the air vent.

so i'm disassembling the thousand pound couch and moving everythign in the entry room so i can move the couch and scrub everything

[sage ice]

yikes

[odd lynx]

@sage ice DoPe my family as a group B Cosworth rally car engine, in a 1974 mk1 escort ex rally car now back to road use, its a flying machine its be a while since i read pace notes

[sage ice]

eh, I will still take my motors

[halcyon stratus]

as far as I remember neither of them had every thrown up on teh couch. at least it is leather and not fabric

[fallow moat]

Rainfall near/around a half an inch Monday and Tuesday here…

So does that mean an inch of rain could fall here?

[sage ice]

no, it means 1/2 an inch

[desert sonnet]

You know what I remember from the older unreal engine games, everyone was buff. Batman was buff, Gears of War characters were buff, even commissioner Gordon was buff.

[fallow moat]

alright then.

[desert sonnet]

And everyone had dirt on them

And there were a lot of bald people

Is Phil Spencer responsible for this (joking here)

[fallow moat]

Just reread Monday and I read it as “Rainfall near an inch.”

[raw quail]

Are you new to the weather?

[brave wasp]

Dom was out here with peak physique, lol

[desert sonnet]

Jesus. Look at that arm

[brave wasp]

My king 👑

[fallow moat]

Nope

[raw quail]

Bigger than your thighs

[desert sonnet]

It's bigger than my head. And idk about thighs but I'll have to measure to make sure

[brave wasp]

COG soldiers were all massive, lol. They carried huge rifles with chainsaws on them that were heavy enough to cut through extremely tough aliens 😆

[halcyon stratus]

someone's gonna walk in on trippy standing in the bathroom measuring his thighs

[raw quail]

I mean yeah

[grave finch]

is this from a game?

[brave wasp]

Gears of War

[cerulean basin]

I remember the UE3 days, where every game, UE3 or not, looked all brown

[halcyon stratus]

all those scenes are in mexico

[brave wasp]

Everything looked drab as hell but my god every game had such good trailers back then 😭

[random otter]

Hi

[raw quail]

Hello

[desert sonnet]

Ooof. Yea I forgot even Metal Gear 4 had it

[cinder veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/gta4-gta-four-iv-niko-bellic-gif-20608489

[raw quail]

Sometimes GTA IV looked black and white

[random otter]

Is there any way to play Xbox games on my pc :c

[desert sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/niko-bellic-gta4-gif-22277492

[cinder veldt]

How it looked would ofc depend on your settings

[cerulean basin]

That's also why games like Mirror's Edge and Prince of Persia 2008 were so refreshing back then too

[desert sonnet]

Yea it usually looked like that gif when you're in buildings

[sage ice]

some games, yes. If they are play anywhere

[cinder veldt]

Mirrors edge really felt futuristic

[fallow moat]

Even Halo 3 was refreshing.

[fluid creek]

[chrome pagoda]

Halo 3 was ahead of its time. It's a gem that shall forever be cherished

[random otter]

Guys is there any way to play my Xbox games on my pc without my xbox

[fallow moat]

For example…

[cinder veldt]

I haven’t played any halo 😅

[tired hare]

Yes. Certain games you can. Look for games that state they are "Xbox Play Anywhere.

[cerulean basin]

You can play Xbox PC games on your PC, they usually have achievements and whatnot.
You can also play Xbox console games via streaming if you have Game Pass Ultimate, by going to www.xbox.com/play or from the Xbox app

[desert sonnet]

Halo 4 was the one with all the bloom right? I remember thinking back when even Twilight Princess had bloom that "I guess this is the way games are now.."

[cerulean basin]

I'm really sorry Swagus, but I need to rain this on you.
Hey @upper meteor, look at this! 😮

[cinder veldt]

TBOGT also felt a bit more colourful

[random otter]

What if i dont have my Xbox

[tired hare]

._.

[upper meteor]

WHAT

[cerulean basin]

You don't need an Xbox for either of the two options I mentioned

[cinder veldt]

I thought you knew icky 😛

[upper meteor]

I forgot

[raw quail]

Something wrong?

[cerulean basin]

Is there any game in particular you were looking to play on PC

[cinder veldt]

But it’s all good I own a bunch of halos so one day

[random otter]

The ones i bought on my xbox

[upper meteor]

Oh okay then it's alright

[random otter]

Like GTA V

[tired hare]

No, Not at all! :D

[desert sonnet]

As long as Icky gets his money

[cerulean basin]

If you bought them digitally, then maybe. Some Xbox games are what they are called "Xbox Play Anywhere", and that means you can buy them once, and play them on both Xbox console and PC.

But GTA V is not one of them.

[cinder veldt]

If you rebuy it on steam, epic or the rockstar client

[raw quail]

Good c:

[fallow moat]

People wish that original Destiny was on PC

[tired hare]

Just confused what that person was saying

[random otter]

Bruh why would i do that if i have It on xbox

[raw quail]

It’s like that in here, all the time

[cinder veldt]

I hope to eventually play a lot of my unplayed games

[cerulean basin]

Well either you buy an Xbox console, or you buy the game again on PC

[random otter]

My Xbox HDD is DEAD

[cinder veldt]

Because you want to play it on PC? It’s kinda clear

[cerulean basin]

So again, either you buy a new Xbox console, or you buy the game again on PC

[random otter]

I need to buy another and reinstall S.O
I think doing this should work

Ah i just bought GTA V and jump force

[cerulean basin]

You don't reinstall the SO when you buy a new Xbox console.
The games you own will work just like that, if they were Xbox One or Series XS games.
Xbox 360 and older will depend if they are compatible or not.

[random otter]

Ik lol
I had a Xbox one s then hdd died

[cinder veldt]

What’s SO mean in this case? I’m sure it’s not suit only

[random otter]

I need to buy another hdd and reinstall Xbox operative system

[cerulean basin]

You don't need to reinstall anything

[random otter]

Then what

[cinder veldt]

Oh what you want to talk about is not allowed by rule 12

[random otter]

Hm what

[weary solar]

🚨 12. Certain topics are not appropriate for discussion, such as: game sharing outside of your household, self-repair and disassembly of hardware, piracy, emulation, violating Xbox policies or Terms of Service, explicit material, not-safe-for-work topics, discussion of leaks, and questionable or illegal activities. Other topics are subject to moderator discretion.

NOTE: Even though Xbox is offering controller repair kits for sale now, self-repair discussion in this server beyond linking to said kits is still not allowed. Self-repair requires a moderate level of skill and knowledge to do and any errors in doing self-repair can result in damage that is not covered under any warranty. If you have questions that are not answered by the guides linked off the controller parts pages in the store, you likely do not posses the skills or knowledge for performing the self-repair and should seek out a repair shop to perform your repair.

[cerulean basin]

Ah wait, I misread what they were talking about.
Yeah, no talk of self-repairs is allowed

[sage ice]

opening the console is not allowed

[random otter]

Oops

I didnt know soz

[random otter]

Wait are u spanish

[celest axle]

I’m Canadian French

[cerulean basin]

Yes, I'm from Spain

[random otter]

Me too

[true plinth]

Well I just learned their bringing back the yugo car.... I am terrified.

[random otter]

I was gonna say sm in spanish but its prob not allowed

[cerulean basin]

Nice. To be honest, these days I only go back to Spain to visit family for Christmas, weddings and some trips in the Summer

[random otter]

Nice what part of spain

[cerulean basin]

From a small town near Zaragoza

[true plinth]

Well their is a English only rule.

[random otter]

[kindred prairie]

Guys, I noticed an issue with my xbox one, when i test my internet speed in settings, it shows 181 ping(unreal number, i have fibre connection 500/200 Mbps), everytime i test it its in interval 179-181, but when i do the same test on browser on speedtest.net. I get 11 ping, what could be the cause, how to fix it please?

[cinder veldt]

Next up, trip to northen sweden /s

[true plinth]

Joined the tko board of directors.. and supposedly having a match with Roman reigns at WrestleMania 40.

[random otter]

Ive been there too
I loved skiing ther

[sage ice]

get off wifi and go wired

[kindred prairie]

I have it wired sir

[cinder veldt]

Different servers and perhaps different methods of meassuring ping

[cerulean basin]

Too cold. I prefer skiing under a nice, warm sun 😛

[kindred prairie]

Dont think i would get 180ms from czechia to like germany

[sage ice]

if you are wired, there is something wrong with a cable / switch from your console to the router

[cinder veldt]

Who said it had to be during the winter😛

[cerulean basin]

Not to mention, apparently I'd need to go way, WAY up North in Sweden to ski anywhere decent

[kindred prairie]

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with canle and router sir, on pc it works just perfectly fine

[halcyon stratus]

the values shown on the xbox network speed tests are wild and strange. i'm surprised that oyu didn't see 100% packet loss.

[cinder veldt]

We have a good place close 😛 (doesn’t know anything about skiing)

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, it was nice last time I went there.
Now here in Denmark I haven't been skiing in 12 years >_>

[random otter]

Lol i thought you skiied Recently

[kindred prairie]

So i shouldnt be concerned a out the values in xbox settings?

[cinder veldt]

Yeah the connection test on the xbox has to use some odd way to measure or it’s a bad server

[halcyon stratus]

if your xbox works then it is fine

[cerulean basin]

Nah, I've been living abroad for more than 13 years now haha

[kindred prairie]

Ye, i guess like 180ms is me testijg to east coast od US

[random otter]

💀

[cerulean basin]

I've now lived more than one third of my life in Denmark

[random otter]

When you came to Spain did you Saw everything soo cheap right

Denmark Cost of living is higher

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, even though prices have gone up, it's still SO much cheaper to buy food and drinks

[cinder veldt]

I’m sure any sweets are cheaper in spain 😛

[random otter]

Smalls sweets are 5-10 cents here

[cerulean basin]

There's a sugar tax in the Nordic countries

[random otter]

Lol

[random otter]

Idk im thinking that when am older go working for a year or 2 to another country

Like Canada or denmark

[cerulean basin]

I will always recommend to anyone who can do it to spend at least 1 year living abroad

[native geyser]

has anyone refunded a game then got charged for it right after again ? lol

[cerulean basin]

It's such a neat way of getting out of your comfort zone and opening up to other people's lifestyles and ways of seeing/doing things

[halcyon stratus]

Like moving from Florida to California!

[random otter]

Whats the minimum salary on denmark

[cinder veldt]

Or sweden 😉

[random otter]

It says 1.8k USD i thought It was higher

[random otter]

Sweden is georgeus

[desert sonnet]

So Cody Rhodes is just letting this happen? With no fight?

[cinder veldt]

Depends where you look, but agreed there is a lot of nice landscapes around here, and not to forget a lot of forest

[cerulean basin]

There's no minimum wage in Denmark per se, but there are very strong unions that push for the minimum wage for each industry area.
So the minimum right now is €2,285 monthly.

[vital sedge]

hey how do i make the app download games faster ?

[sage ice]

get faster internet?

[vital sedge]

it should be 30/sec but its 2.5/sec

[random otter]

That sounds better
Id also like to improve my english

[vital sedge]

[random otter]

@cerulean basin 😮 are u a avatar Game dev

[cerulean basin]

Yeah

[vital sedge]

the game that came out now ?

[cerulean basin]

December 7th, yeah

[vital sedge]

damn , i had high hopes for it tbh

[random otter]

Yo that should be so difficult

[vital sedge]

the world looked cool tho

[cerulean basin]

I actually do have a very, VERY lengthy interview in Spanish about how I moved from Spain to Denmark and what it was like to make the game 😅 https://vandal.elespanol.com/noticia/1350768059/el-productor-anchel-labena-comparte-como-ubisoft-logro-que-pandora-fuese-la-protagonista-de-avatar/

[cinder veldt]

Hmm where have I seen that guy wearing the hoodie that looks good

[random otter]

Coments says that you tell everything of your Life and nothing of the Game 🤣

[cerulean basin]

Oh damn, I didn't even check the comments section 😂

[random otter]

Hahaha

[cerulean basin]

I kinda kept wearing that hoodie for most of the press interviews hahaha

[vital sedge]

will the game make a comeback like cyberpunk did ?

[cinder veldt]

Well who would mind listening to Anchels awesome life

[desert sonnet]

Anchels famous!

[chrome pagoda]

Ur like a Hollywood celebrity sick bro!

[cerulean basin]

Well, considering that the game is considered to have launched relatively bug-free, I don't think it needs a Cyberpunk-like comeback

[random otter]

You also have a webpage 🙃

[cinder veldt]

Wow you don’t look like you in this exact image, but I have to say the shirt is a good choice

[vital sedge]

meaning gameplay wise

[cerulean basin]

A webpage that I will update someday. The landing page is relatively recent, but the last blog post is from 2014 😂

[random otter]

😅

What💀 does that mean avatar Game was on prod since 2014?!*!

[cerulean basin]

Nah, I worked on a few other games between 2014 and 2023

[random otter]

If i played avatar frontiers of Pandora my gtx 1660 super would die

If its like on the movies

[cerulean basin]

I've seen someone play it on a 1660, it can run relatively ok, but yeah, the graphical compromises would be... heavy. Plus, you might have to restart the game every now and then for textures to continue loading properly.

[random otter]

Im playing ff7 and its working as never before

The remake ehh 😅

It has while coil or whatever is called

[tired hare]

when will palworld on xbox get dedicated servers bro 32+ people
it be so good no hackers unlike steam version

[tidal topaz]

[cerulean basin]

I'm surprised how detailed the character animations are for Suicide Squad.
Even something as simple as slowly making a character walk towards the opposite direction from where they're standing shows a lot of smooth transitions and characterization.

[tired hare]

Man gotham knights is hugely underrated it ain't very good but definitely not bad . But suicide squad tho.... How do you kill powerful superhuman with guns not even superman but batman bro.☠️☠️🗿

[weary solar]

#rules 🔤 2. Use English only. Communicate in English, but be considerate of all languages.

[cerulean basin]

Well, that's the point of the game. A task that is seemingly impossible, killing the Justice League, with a ragtag team of misfit second-rate villains.

[tired hare]

U like men

[cerulean basin]

I don't think bots are capable of loving

[tired hare]

They don't have a physical presence you can smash either, no

[halcyon stratus]

interesting... is "evan was here" a meme or a streamer or something?

i've seen multiple people with that display name this year

[tired hare]

Still tho the game is basic deadshot's playstyle for each character. You'll get my point if you've seen gameranx review on it

[cerulean basin]

I'm playing it right now

[fiery python]

Have you actually played it, or just read/watched a review?

Because either way, you're wrong.

[tired hare]

Ive had this name since like 2019

[tired hare]

Alright np

[halcyon stratus]

oh did you leave the server and come back?

[tired hare]

I think

[tired hare]

My name is used on like all my platforms

[cerulean basin]

And sure, all characters have guns, which was definitely a bit weird when it was first revealed, but the differences in traversal mechanics, melee attacks and a few other things do make them feel different enough that I have clear preferences of which ones I play best as

[halcyon stratus]

ahh that could explain some of my memory. i was thinking there was n 'evan was here' in th is particular server that never used ot act like this. i assumed it was someone else.

[tired hare]

Read/seen and yeah ik it would be better to give a review after playing the actual thing but it's still not what I expected

Thats what i meant first time i used it when i first got steam

[halcyon stratus]

still though, we only have 1 server in common and i've seen a very similar name elsewhere

[tired hare]

Ok

[trail harness]

Too many times I've seen reviews that say X game is very bad, just to end up playing the game and liking it lol

[cerulean basin]

Suicide Squad is definitely not what anyone expected after the Arkham trilogy.
But I'm also glad they went for something completely different.

[long maple]

thats A Short Hike finished well. 4 more fish to catch. 3 races and eat some toast. will do that another day.

[fiery python]

It's not what I expected either, but to say they all play like Deadshot is wrong.

[tired hare]

So far how's the story for you . The combat ain't bad but it just doesn't fit the games idea in story pov

[trail harness]

same goes the other way around too

[worn radish]

Reviews should be used as a tool to guide decision making, they're not a guiding light and oftentimes depend on personal bias or incentived bias

If a lot of people are complaining about something, then it's self evident there is a problem beneath what you may think is unjustified criticism

[tired hare]

True they started something different and will probably be built upon by different game developers just like watch dog legions with playable npcs

[trail harness]

yeah I'll read some reviews and see if there's a common theme among them and go from there

[long maple]

I dont remember the last time I actually checked a review. if its things like Game Pass I can just download the game and try it out for 2-3 hours see if I like it. part from that I know what sort of games I like playing

[tired hare]

Just my opinion

[fiery python]

Okay, but it's still objectively false. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tired hare]

Exactly

[worn radish]

I usually just play what i think I'll like and if something hasn't captivated me I see no reason to play it

[tired hare]

Coughs...in truth

[worn radish]

People that vilify people that criticise are a bigger problem imo, you need to put aside your emotions and actually think about their complaints instead of jumping to the us versus them bandwagon

[halcyon stratus]

makes sense

we should cheer and support people who criticize things they've never tried

[fiery python]

Sure, if their complaints are valid and not just parroting what someone else says without actually trying it themselves.

[halcyon stratus]

my entire world view is shaped by tiktok and youtube shorts
i believe i'm an expert in pretty much all things at this point

[tired hare]

🗿🗿based

[worn radish]

That's just mischaracterising what I'm saying

[halcyon stratus]

not in the context of this conversation

[cerulean basin]

I'll come to you then next time I need to clear my MAC address

[tired hare]

Lol he's just joking it's in context

[halcyon stratus]

1: everyone in this game plays the same
2: did you try it
1: no
2: uhh, okay, then you're wrong
3: we should support their opinions and not be mean to them just because they are critical

[halcyon stratus]

i'll clear your mac address so good you'll never get online again

[desert sonnet]

I'll applaud them for trying something a little different yea. I hope there's a melee focused character in a future update though. Unless King Shark already fills that role

[trail harness]

broken NIC moment

[halcyon stratus]

i'm mostly annoyed that "king shark" and "captain boomerang" are valid names, lmao

[orchid fox]

Does warranty ever end if I keep having issues within the time period?

[desert sonnet]

I wanna just beat the crap out of someone (in-game)

[worn radish]

In minecraft

[halcyon stratus]

you'll need to read the terms of whatever warranty you're talking about.
sometimes warranties do have limits.

[desert sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/arkham-arkhamknight-robin-batman-timdrake-gif-14634639

[elder adder]

Whats up guys just checking in I was just watching the semifinals for the tournaments for halo and I gotta admit their enjoyable

[trail harness]

Depends but you can be sure that the company will be doing what it can to prevent you from abusing this.

Starts looking very sus after many returns...

More than likely the terms will have stuff in them to cover that issue

[worn radish]

Generally with warranties, the original agreement applies and so if that new item broke or needed replacing, you wouldn't be covered

Some companies are nice and honor their products outside of warranty but it depends

[trail harness]

I imagine that varies by industry and region too

[halcyon stratus]

i mean that's why i said they needed to read the specific terms for the exact warranty they are asking about, lmao

[trail harness]

yeah that makes sense

[worn radish]

Sure it does depend, hence the "it depends"

[trail harness]

one of these days I'm going to ask a LLM to summarize a warranty document to see how it handles that lol. My guess is it will fail horribly. I would not trust the output either way though ofc.

[worn radish]

Treat llm's as the gospel and let them dictate our lives

[limpid flicker]

Do you think that's related to what Joker said?

[tulip lichen]

They made a fake pixel gun 3d for free on Xbox called pixel strike 3d lol

[worn radish]

Tangentially, yeah

[limpid flicker]

Because I don't think they were implying they trust LLMs.

[worn radish]

Nor was I

I should've put the /j, I was being ironic

[versed swan]

what is an llm

[limpid flicker]

OK.

[worn radish]

Large language model

[limpid flicker]

What some call "AI" even though it isn't AI.

[open flume]

just like 'hacked'

[trail harness]

I was very specific to call it LLM for that reason

[limpid flicker]

I like to make the distinction too, but I fear that the window for that is closing.

[worn radish]

Why?

[whole burrow]

Cria o chat Portuguese, english, spanish and Asian, please.

[cerulean basin]

Over the last couple of decades almost every product has been using AI supposedly 😂

Asian is not a language o_0

[limpid flicker]

Because people are getting used to the idea of calling it AI. I guess at some point that's what AI means.

[chrome pagoda]

Ppl say AI might take over the world is that even possible. How does the creation overthrow the creator🤔

[whole burrow]

Ajuda a comunicação das pessoas que querem falar apenas com a sua região. Tem GM aí?

[cerulean basin]

There's Discord servers for other language speaking gaming communities

[trail harness]

At this point in time, it is completely nonsensical

[desert sonnet]

It'll happen. I'm basing my reality on that movie A.I by Steven Spielberg

[trail harness]

lol

[chrome pagoda]

Those ai human like robots r creepy man lmao

[whole burrow]

Nice, thanks. I will speak that.

[cinder veldt]

AI does however havethe option to learn stuff and remember stuff faster and better

[chrome pagoda]

I do think decades down the road simple jobs will be controlled by ai

[desert sonnet]

The movie kinda has a bleak future in mind for a.i though so I kinda hope it doesn't turn out like that

[open flume]

people said this 100 years ago when cars were being made. now robots put headlights onto the front of cars

[trail harness]

ML (machine learning) is a better term for that though as it isn't true intelligence

Have you guys seen the robot that bled oil continuously and it only served to keep bringing the oil back until it inevitably died, it was depressing

[cinder veldt]

Meh, I give you a Blåhaj

Yea I saw that. It's sad

[chrome pagoda]

I can't believe ppl genuinely trust their lives with a robot. That self driving still baffles me

[limpid flicker]

I didn't. What do you mean about bringing it back?

people trust their lives with a pacemaker

whats the difference

It was like a crane looking robot. It was on top of oil and the only way it functioned and remained "alive" was to keep mopping the oil back to itself

i mean its a programmable device made by a human is it not?

[south cipher]

anyone like comics/books? DM me if you do

[limpid flicker]

The difference is the complexity of the task then, if you're really serious. A pacemaker has a pretty simple job to do. Predictable. Not needing to take into account the behaviour and decisions of hundreds of other pacemakers on the same circulatory system.

[open flume]

but 100 years ago it wasnt

[cerulean basin]

I'm sure plenty of people here (myself included) do like reading comic books

[open flume]

it wasnt simple. it wasnt easy to do

[limpid flicker]

I never said easy.

[south cipher]

[limpid flicker]

Splitting logs with an axe is simple but not easy.

[open flume]

the complexity of a pacemaker's task in 1926 was highly complex in reference to the complexity of today

point being to the question of trusting machines to do stuff. id rather trust 100,000 autonomous cars on the road versus letting 97 year old Sherry-Anne drive while barely being able to see through her glasses and above the steering wheel

[cerulean basin]

In the year 2000 I wouldn't have trusted leaving my PC turned on, unsupervised, downloading a file without it stopping for whatever reason and having to restart the download from scratch again.

[limpid flicker]

I'll have to believe you on that. I was trying to think of something which is simple but not easy. It's simple because the application of force via lever to a sharp edge is very basic, but I believed not easy because of the required coordination and muscle power.

[trail harness]

I speak from personal experience with splitting logs once

You dont even need any muscle power and can let the sheer force of the falling axe do the work sometimes

broadband was definitely a revolution for internet use

Modern internet is both better and worse than old.

[severe lodge]

I've got a friend who was the first handful of folks hired at Real 😉

[cerulean basin]

Now everyone can quickly access wrong information online and argue with others about it!

[limpid flicker]

Better in the sense that a lot of the dark corners have had some light shone upon them, but worse the sense that communities have allowed some people to find others like them and that's often not so great.

[tidal topaz]

No just one of the many websites where you can search up almost anyone in sweden and get a bunch of information

No, it's the website from which you can find out personal information about everyone, like where they live, if they have a car, their age... (in Sweden only)

[limpid flicker]

Well, screw that.

[cinder veldt]

[limpid flicker]

You could opt out of being in a phone book, here.

[severe lodge]

There are phone books?

[tidal topaz]

There was

[cinder veldt]

It’s quite crazy honestly though

[limpid flicker]

The phone book is one of many ideas where if it were proposed today for the first time people would be shocked that anyone thinks it is a good idea. A lot of things we take for granted just wouldn't happen if they weren't hundreds of years old.

Hrm, Amazon let me order spray paint online. It is locked up at Home Depot

My student dorm in Spain used to make this yearly book with all the students that included also their phone number and home address (where they lived before going to the dorm - presumably their parents'). I sure hope they don't do that anymore...

[halcyon stratus]

in most places in the US landline service is no longer the same as it used to be. it is copper to the house but fiber from a local shack. the generators don't last as long as they used to since the modern phone equipment has to be kept powered up unlike the older phone equipment that idled low.

Hi

[red crest]

hey guys do you guys know when nba 2k24 is gonna be on sale?

[tidal topaz]

Most of ours are still copper lines outside of the big cities

[sage ice]

no one but the publisher has that data

[red crest]

oh ok fair

[granite verge]

Oh no, we've been praying nothing happens on our new couch. Thankfully (fingers crossed) nothing bad yet. Hope you manage to get everything cleaned up

[red crest]

well when is there typically a large scale sale where you think it'd be cheaper

[sage ice]

there is a new sale every week, midnight UTC Monday

[cerulean basin]

Developers individually choose if and when a game goes on sale

[red crest]

so does that have to do with game sales

or if they want to reach a bigger audience they make it cheaper?

[red crest]

thanks

[sage ice]

you are asking questions we do not know.

each publisher has a different theory on how to market and put sales on their games.

[cerulean basin]

Some publishers almost never put their games on sale, some put the same game on sale every other week

[long maple]

and yeah its a sport game. it will be so cheap before the next game releases

[keen current]

The logos that would spin if you blew into the mic?

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, always loved that little detail

[keen current]

Haha yeah that was great

also Sport games get delisted so quickly now especially 2K's versions

[unreal frigate]

So I just played Pal World.. what happens when a game comes out of preview? Do you then have to pay? Not familiar with the process tbh

[sage ice]

you own it still

Don't think any early access game has charged extra to continue playing after official release

[silk mountain]

Usually it's in like beta

[inland surge]

what are some good games around $20

[sage ice]

buying game preview gives you 1.0 (if the game hits that) but I havent seen one not it it yet

Buy Gamepass with that $20

[tired hare]

As queen once said “i want it all i want it all. And i want it now”!

as I say

[cinder veldt]

That sounds like it’s broken though

[tired hare]

It's really annoying while playing and it's nearly unplayable anymore

[chrome pagoda]

U sure u didn't do anything to it lol

[tired hare]

My brother played on it ...

[chrome pagoda]

[tired hare]

No he really was it, he smashes the buttons

If u have to press a button a controller with force the little nob that protrudes out is probably not there😂

Like the rubber silicon mold so the buttons

[tired hare]

What can I do? How can I repair it?

[chrome pagoda]

Yeah just send it in to ur local best buy or a small device shop

I don't understand did u order it online orrrrr store?? Orrrrr

[tired hare]

Yeah I'm going to electro market so they can repair

[cinder veldt]

If you have a warranty and it’s not a limited edition controller, send it to MS

[chrome pagoda]

Yee send it to the big dawgs

[tired hare]

Yeah let's see

[chrome pagoda]

Or option C buy brand new controller 😂😂 that's me I'm the option c guy💀

Just for one button that's broken? Nah

I had a electric blue wireless controller. I wasn't mad or raged just a little salty at an outcome from a game so I kinda just chucked it off my bed. Couple buttons yeaahhhhhh not work no mo I just bought another one😂

[cerulean basin]

You can check if your controller is under warranty here:
https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/controller-warranty

[chrome pagoda]

Now I got the Stormcloud vapor and Daystrike red camo😈

[cinder veldt]

If my controller gets some fault since it’s a limited edition, I’m buying a design labs one instead

[chrome pagoda]

Ayy thanks man

[tired hare]

No I didn't threw my controller etc

[chrome pagoda]

I created an all orange one in the design lab. It's like 120+ with the engravings and stuff like sheesh😂

[tired hare]

Oh yeah that's great

[cinder veldt]

NGL this is quite a sick sniper

[chrome pagoda]

Also I'm curious why the black elite 2 is 40 more than the red and blue one lol.....Confusion

[tired hare]

Thank y'all for the help

[desert sonnet]

Xbox Twitter news is wild

[raw quail]

Do you want me to add it to the feed?

[cerulean basin]

It's not news until anything is official 😛

[covert lantern]

Master chief in super smash? Yes please

[strange bridge]

you think we could see anything contraband this year?

[halcyon stratus]

On Amazon the Black is $150, blue $130, red $95, and white $120
Basically shows the popularity 😉

[halcyon stratus]

yes

[long maple]

no idea about Contraband. wait till June

[strange bridge]

co-op mad max sounds insane

[leaden salmon]

hi

[versed swan]

we could see video games this year

[brave wasp]

Can Xbox please do a press release denying this multi-platform crap soon, I'm tired of seeing everyone going nuts over it everywhere with zero confirmation 💀

[fading robin]

I find this fun with all news happening now

[strange bridge]

I wouldn't mind if xbox went full multi plat if I'm honest

[versed swan]

my least favorite part of video game discussion is when people get angry at something that was never confirmed... not happening

[cloud lichen]

.

[halcyon stratus]

no

[long maple]

I mean if it was this year wouldnt they have shown it at the dev direct? with how many studios Xbox has it must be difficult to schedule what games are coming next

[fading robin]

But don’t be surprised when your investment 0 next generation

[halcyon stratus]

more games
more people
more happiness
#dealwithit

console warriors = children who need hobbies

[long maple]

Contraband was like 2020-2021 and was a teaser trailer

[strange bridge]

my investment?

[versed swan]

multi plat games are cool

[fading robin]

Seriously 😂 ?

[versed swan]

yep

[halcyon stratus]

there are doofuses on twitter screaming abouti how xbox console is dead and xbox won't invest in them anymore and they are going to become a purely nintendo and playstation development house

[fading robin]

Tell me how play FF7 On Xbox?

[tired hare]

Console warriors = Fortnite Kiddies

[halcyon stratus]

💯

[plucky helm]

Imagine Xbox adds ads into your gameplay

[halcyon stratus]

why is this the default emoji for 'eyeroll'? is it a ... rabbit?

[versed swan]

you buy it https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/final-fantasy-vii/bwkxqc5bl5r1

[halcyon stratus]

nothing wrong with fortnite though

[fading robin]

lol

[versed swan]

and then you download it

[strange bridge]

stream it via microsoft edge and psnow

[versed swan]

and then you play it!

[halcyon stratus]

the games i've sunk the most amount of time in to are all multiplatform

[fading robin]

Thx

[halcyon stratus]

i tried to block "third party" on twitter since that is the phrase the doofuses are screaming , but it hit too many other useful posts so i had to let it back in

[cerulean basin]

I like Xbox for ecosystem, for Game Pass and some really fun games.
Some of those games are multiplayer.
You're telling me more people could have access to those games as well?
That's awesome!!!

[fading robin]

I’m so excited to sell my Xbox sx and buy PS5 FOR halo infinite

[quasi dragon]

you mean destiny ?

[halcyon stratus]

i hope you have fun!

[fading robin]

Because why not

[halcyon stratus]

my life would not change in any way shape or form if more people were able to play halo

[fading robin]

Nope halo game from Xbox games studio

[quasi dragon]

yea destiny

[cerulean basin]

You're acting like Microsoft wouldn't ever expect anyone to do that and it wasn't already in their plans, were they to do that

[halcyon stratus]

oh no, people are buying microsoft games, the horror!

[strange bridge]

multiplat games just give players more choice and is better for the industry anyways

[molten briar]

cause making more money off video game sales is a bad thing compared to the loss on consoles

[fading robin]

I don’t care man I’m already having pc but it’s shame to see how they do that

[halcyon stratus]

okay

[broken pumice]

any body wanna play cod waw

[quasi dragon]

as long as Microsoft games are on gamepass I can care less about other ppl paying full price to play their games

[halcyon stratus]

you do seem to care a lot though

[cerulean basin]

Why is it a shame? More people playing games is great!

[strange bridge]

power to the players

[versed swan]

well here's something i found

[halcyon stratus]

it really does take a special kind of person to be angry that people are having fun

[quasi dragon]

alot of brand loyalist going crazy on x atm about it tactica

[halcyon stratus]

children cry, news at 11

[versed swan]

is this what this whole general topic is about? random rumor of the day on twitter? I'll pass

[plucky helm]

Solid Snake from fortnite?

[halcyon stratus]

also, being loyal to a brand and being agressive towards other people are 2 different things

[versed swan]

yes that one

[cerulean basin]

One thing is super clear to me:
I have a huge catalogue of games to play on Xbox, there's a huge catalogue of games coming in the future, I can play those games right now on console, PC and even via streaming.
I have invested in the Xbox platform and there's absolutely nothing right now in the horizon that would make me lose the thousands of hours of fun I've had so far, and the ones I will have in the future

[halcyon stratus]

i have strong brand loyalty to certain companies that have treated me right in the past.
if someone wants to buy a differnet product, I literally don't care.
if the company that has done right by me wants to branch out in to other markets that.... is great

[quasi dragon]

so it's either random rumor or do it for Cody Rhodes as gen topic 😂

[tired hare]

I was just on that

[halcyon stratus]

i don't know who cody rhodes is

[quasi dragon]

then you cool with the rock

[gray latch]

my loyalty is pretty much based on gamerscore at this point

[versed swan]

i wanna buy a tv antenna to watch svengoolie and other MeTV stuff but i live in the middle of nowhere, if i buy an expensive antenna it can probably be picked up but i am afraid of the possibility it doesn't

[obtuse chasm]

anyone tryna run some fortnite or somthing

[weary solar]

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

[desert sonnet]

The future is weird. Let's live in the past

[gray latch]

I love my xboxes but if one day the entire xbox ecosystem exploded I'd just shrug and buy a playstation

[tired hare]

Fortnite runs horribly on my rx 6650 xt

[quasi dragon]

this nfl pro bowl games mid

[halcyon stratus]

i don't care about achievement points, I care about game saves / cross progression.

if i can play a game on any random device with my same character than that is what wins. Sometimes this means I need to buy the Steam version insetad of the Xbox version.

[versed swan]

yeah i don't remember people rioting in the streets when sega realized supporting the dreamcast wasn't worth it anymore

[cinder veldt]

Tbf Fortnite is unoptimized

[desert sonnet]

Im living in the past baby. Don't talk to me about cellphones. Talk to me about jazz cups and Nirvana

[cerulean basin]

Gamers: "We want bigger games with even better graphics!!!"
Development costs increase. Devs reach to more players to cover costs.
Gamers: "We want less people to play those games!!!"

[obtuse chasm]

what fps r u running at

[unreal frigate]

NGL I do like getting achievements

[unreal frigate]

Wish the switch had achievements

[quasi dragon]

imagine saying your console is getting devalued because the game is coming to other platforms when your own games are on pc 😂

[cinder veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/nirvana-gif-3571040

[halcyon stratus]

anyway, I'm laughing that this didn't turn out the was hass thought it would and he stopped replying

[gray latch]

lol

[unreal frigate]

TBF alot of he good exclusives Xbox had are now playable on PS

Now all we got are exclusive indie games

[vast ermine]

I remember that

[quasi dragon]

I know the biggest console exclusive ff14 will be on xbox

[versed swan]

it's still my best/worst joke yet

[quasi dragon]

you doing jokes kat?

[unreal frigate]

Would kill to have Uncharted and TLOU on Xbox

Or even just God of War

[versed swan]

i posted one above yes

[cinder veldt]

I love name sound alikes

[quasi dragon]

what do you call a bunny that loves honey?

[unreal frigate]

A honey bunny

[quasi dragon]

I was going for honeybun but thats ok too

[cinder veldt]

Swag /hj

Wait no to make this joke more logical, Axolotl /hj

[quasi dragon]

what

[cinder veldt]

I love honey, but I’m no bunny 😉

[cerulean basin]

Many of my friends play on PC.
Xbox games being available on PC, even on PC Game Pass, makes it so easy for me to play those games with friends.

[unreal frigate]

Can't pin down a copy of spec ops the line that doesn't cost lots

[quasi dragon]

this generation as a whole has been a aqusition generation with subscription services being the main narrative

with that being said games will come to some services day one then eventually go to the other service after a timed period

[cinder veldt]

If you need driver sf, you have me at least 😛 (not actually selling them)

[cerulean basin]

Subscription services have been ONE narrative, but people still buy games

[quasi dragon]

That's literally how all the subscription services do it 😂

[unreal frigate]

I've gone back to playing a lot of 360 games tbh, it was a simpler time

[quasi dragon]

anchel with pc only being launcher based and both companies coming out with digital consoles I fear physical will be obsolete soon

[cerulean basin]

Oh, I don't doubt that

[quasi dragon]

Especially since most games are data keys now

[unreal frigate]

I only have like 3 physical games for my x

[cerulean basin]

There'll still be a market for collector's editions and whatnot for some of the bigger AAA releases for sure

[molten briar]

less waste is obv a bad thing!

[unreal frigate]

If it wasn't for bwc I wouldn't even need a disk drive

[quasi dragon]

what's crazy is most collector editions come with a code instead of a physical disc

[cerulean basin]

I'd probably buy more collector's editions if they all had a digital code option 😛

[chrome pagoda]

Physical games r gonna be in a museum soon😂

[tired hare]

Am bread

[cinder veldt]

I know, great right?

[unreal frigate]

My son can't grasp the concept of needing a disk to play a game

[quasi dragon]

changing with the times axolotl

[halcyon stratus]

i don't want a disc.

i want a digital game entitlement.

diablo 4 did it right.

[cerulean basin]

I want the extras that collector's editions have, statues, posters, maps and whatnot.
But I don't want to have to deal with taking out the case to put in the disc every time I want to play the game.

[unreal frigate]

Thinks its retro

[chrome pagoda]

🗣🔥

[halcyon stratus]

(they sold a collectors edition set that did not include the game at all.)

[chrome pagoda]

That games a grind lmao

[halcyon stratus]

and prior to that world of warcraft collectors expansions have done a wondeful thing where you can buy the digital version, play it on your account, then when you get the physical collectors edition you enter the code that came with that and it automatically refunded you the cost of the extra game

[cinder veldt]

Completely unrelated but I somehow own a poster for diablo 3

[tired hare]

Wtf is diablo

[sterile wharf]

It means devil

[chrome pagoda]

Devil in Spanish

[halcyon stratus]

a little indie game

[chrome pagoda]

El Diablo The Devil

[tired hare]

Let me check

[chrome pagoda]

Diablo sounds more joyful than devil😂

[cinder veldt]

Same indie company as overwatch right!?

[chrome pagoda]

It literally is lol

[celest kettle]

Does anyone play cities skylines 1?

[vast ermine]

Like Cyberpunk?

[half hazel]

Yakuza is very fun
A guy keeps trying to take my money and ends up stealing it all
Took it all back when hr was sleeping tho

[chrome pagoda]

I tried that. It's sims city on console I can't play those games with controller lol

[celest kettle]

Fair enough looking for inspiration for a city design.

[cinder veldt]

Simcity but better, but when I played cities skylines it also missed a vibe simcity gave

[versed swan]

i wish youtube would stop recommending me the fella who does nothing but whine about bethesda games for multiple hours per video. the "don't recommend channel" button doesn't carry over to recommendations on the tv version of youtube

[cinder veldt]

Youtube TV is messy

[chrome pagoda]

I played sim city for a fat minute. My city got pretty big but the crafting of the materials and waiting is what done it for me lol

[cinder veldt]

Yeah there is a certain point where any evolution just stops

[versed swan]

"messy" is one way to put it, they started using 3+ ads during ad breaks on videos they consider long, although that's intentional i suppose

[cinder veldt]

When you want to start getting people to fix resources and plan for the big constructions

[chrome pagoda]

Literally there was days where I wouldn't unlock anything new. I'd log on, collect the coins, craft materials (collect the ones the r done) then log off 💀

[cinder veldt]

3 ads and long time to skip sometimes, and difficult to navigate home page

[versed swan]

if it's also too much for the bit rate to handle (at least on youtube) then the screen gets super artifacted, lags, and sometimes crashes

[chrome pagoda]

Then my city layout got messy. Houses were out of range of services it would've been a project to rearrange my city

[cinder veldt]

Tbf it’s also a game you play in longer sessions

[cinder veldt]

Yeah all city building games really do require a lot of pre planning

[chrome pagoda]

Plus u gotta have the warehouses outside homes radius it really is hard😂😂 yeah pre planning that I did not do lol

[limpid surge]

Bro why is ksp2 not on Xbox

[oak dock]

What a Beautiful fire on twitter

[limpid surge]

It's kinda dumb

[cerulean basin]

I don't know what that is, but maybe ask the developers of the game?

[oak dock]

The situation is chaotic on the platform

[half hazel]

Still In early access On pc

[versed swan]

while i do think content creation is a viable way to make money if you can find enough success and that i do consider it a real career, if you're making 8 hour videos whining that someone liked fallout 3 and you didn't, i think you should get a new job

[chrome pagoda]

I don't mind the regular sim games. I got sims 4 on my series s and laptop

[half hazel]

Plus compared to KSP1
Ksp2 is missing some features

[cinder veldt]

I had a big issue when me and my friend tried cities skylines, we started great, but it was too small of a place to expand any roads or places

[limpid surge]

I don't think e

I might be wrong

[half hazel]

It'll come eventually
Ksp1 did

[limpid surge]

Ya

[chrome pagoda]

It's kinda a similar experience on my city island world in MC. Sometimes I'd create this massive mansion or house or retail store then I'd have to destroy the whole thing cuz it doesn't work where it is💀

[cerulean basin]

Can't blame developers for focusing on one single platform while it's still in development

When it comes to giving early access to the public I mean

[cinder hearth]

The first kerbal space program is the better game

Who actually plays Halo

[spark meteor]

Me

[cerulean basin]

I know one Icky Spartan in here who does 😛

[upper meteor]

Hi

[limpid surge]

I kinda play it

[cerulean basin]

But it might just be rumors, I'm not even sure he actually likes Halo

[spark meteor]

I’m on halo wars

[upper meteor]

Hi on halo wars, I'm Icky Spartan

Play on automatic difficulty

[molten briar]

he did go a month without playing halo

[spark meteor]

Playing them in order I guess

[cerulean basin]

And he got his reward for that

[upper meteor]

I would recommend playing them by release order, but it's alright if you wanna do chronological order

[upper meteor]

Worst month of my life

I wonder, what would happen if I stopped playing for 3 months...

[cerulean basin]

I'm afraid that for your own sanity I'm not even going to propose that, Icky

[limpid surge]

Bro you think Nintendo will win against Palworld???

[sage ice]

are they fighting it?

[limpid surge]

Ya

[cerulean basin]

They haven't taken legal action so far

[limpid surge]

They will

[upper meteor]

Speaking of palworld, I need to try it. It's very similar to Halo

[cerulean basin]

And what do you think they are waiting for then?

[limpid surge]

🤣

[spark meteor]

They can’t legally say that palworld is stealing

[upper meteor]

Anchel, do you play palworld

[spark meteor]

Palworld will stand 10 toes

[cerulean basin]

I have a character on a friend's save, but I haven't touched it in the last week

[limpid surge]

Ya. Animal catching is basically a genre

[abstract pulsar]

Please tell me I won't just lose everything by doing this

[spark meteor]

No lol

[upper meteor]

😦

[cinder veldt]

I do feel like reinstall does reinstall, but it might let you keep apps and such? Back stuff up though

[cerulean basin]

And thus the risk of using Insider builds on your everyday main device

[abstract pulsar]

I never should have joined the Insider Program

[limpid surge]

I haven't played a good long session of Palworld yet

[spark meteor]

They’re saying it’s better than ark rn

[cinder veldt]

Oh wait you are on an insider build, yeah a reinstall could wipe all of it without the option even (I think)

[upper meteor]

Ark? Like the Ark from Halo?

[vast ermine]

On New Year's Day I got YT Premium for free, it expires Jan 1, 2025

[spark meteor]

Lol no

Dude in love with the master

[cerulean basin]

And hot OJ

[upper meteor]

I'm in love with hot oj

Lol same wavelength Anchel

[vast ermine]

Can't wait for the summer

[cerulean basin]

I read your mind in Spanish

[limpid surge]

I'm never playing cloud gaming again. I was grinding Minecraft and I got a huge lag spike and died. This wouldn't have happened on my Xbox but did on my powerful Pc

[cerulean basin]

Nice! For how long?

[limpid surge]

Bird is the word is devastated

[tired hare]

ark survival evolved lol

[cinder veldt]

Aww, you are making me jealous, where are you going?

[limpid surge]

Same

[upper meteor]

Speaking of Japan... https://www.halopedia.org/Japan

It's canon

[cerulean basin]

Well, cloud gaming can sometimes have that happen.
I still keep using it for the convenience of playing on the go.

[vast ermine]

From 16th June to 28th June

[cerulean basin]

Ok, be prepared to sweat. A lot.

[limpid surge]

Where in Japan??

[cerulean basin]

Almost as much as when Icky tries really hard not to teamkill

[tired hare]

"My favourite japan was the 1945 one"-👨🏻‍🦳

[vast ermine]

Stay around Tokyo metro in Akihabara, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Yokohama, Kawasaki, Hakone, Fuji and Chibu

[vast ermine]

It's that hot huh

[limpid surge]

Oh very nice

[cinder veldt]

That really sounds awesome

[tired hare]

Nicest place in japan is either Tsushima island or Kyoto

[cerulean basin]

It definitely was. I was doing mostly fine, but my Dutch friends were not 😛

[upper meteor]

I just wanted to show you an Easter egg

[cinder veldt]

Tbf you are from a naturally warmer climate

[tired hare]

I was sweating when i went to france cuz im from ireland

[pastel owl]

Hey guys, probably no one will have a answer to this but... Is the Flash fire road Star steering wheel compatible with the series s? It is compatible with the normal xbox one, Bing AI said but isnt Sure about series s.

[limpid surge]

I would expect the Japanese climate to be like the UKs or Irelands

[tired hare]

No

[sage ice]

if it works on the One, it will work on the S

[vast ermine]

Was planning on Kyoto, but I'm going to Singapore soon after, so gotta cut it short. Too much to see there, so need a week for that

[cinder veldt]

Oh I was very warm when I was in France last year, like 35˚C

[vast ermine]

Except Kinect

[sage ice]

they were not asking about the kinect though

[tired hare]

Japan is alot warmer than Ireland and the UK, i had no problem going to iceland and norway bc it was nice and cold but france had me dripping buckets of sweat

[cerulean basin]

Maybe I should add that my hometown in Spain has several ski resorts 😛

[pastel owl]

The series s Supports 3.0 USB, right?

[limpid surge]

I believe

[halcyon stratus]

Yes

[sage ice]

it has blue ports doesnt it?

[halcyon stratus]

I think the world gave up on properly coloring the ports years ago

[cerulean basin]

Yeah no, last July when I was there it reached over 36 ºC

[cinder veldt]

But the summers are still quite warm no?

[sage ice]

just looked, they are not blue lol

[worn radish]

Razer colours them green, some laptop manufacturers colour them blue

[light panther]

There’s something awesome and unique about the 6th generation of horror games

[soft jetty]

Paint costs too much.

[spark meteor]

Just look for the SS

[limpid surge]

I must go my people need me. Bye

[halcyon stratus]

Not just the 3.0 ports

[worn radish]

It's not paint, it's plastic, so it's likely die cast

[cinder veldt]

What’s USB 3.0 😛

[worn radish]

So the actual plastic is colored prior

[soft jetty]

I'm about to join voice chat and sound like a news announcer.

[worn radish]

It's a spec of USB, if my memory serves it dates back to like, 2014

[vast ermine]

In Akihabara what video games stores are considered the "best"

[worn radish]

2008, correction

[cinder veldt]

Oh sorry I should’ve clarified it was a joke on how 3.0 isn’t a thing anymore in naming

[abstract pulsar]

I don't even want to do this because I feel like I'm just going to lose everything even if they claim everything will be fine

[worn radish]

Oh right yeah, usb 3x2 3.0 ^ 2
