Oh wait u said randomly on

[white ravine]

yeah on

[obsidian kayak]

Is it the OG Xbox one?

[white ravine]

nah

[obsidian kayak]

Because I know that one has a very sensitive button lol

[white ravine]

and I dont have any knect or whatever that has a microphone

[obsidian kayak]

Someone may be messing with you with a tv remote lol

[white ravine]

I just dont wanna worry while im on a long trip

[white ravine]

the tv can turn the xbox on?

[obsidian kayak]

Yeh most modern universal remotes can now

But also yes the tv can

[white ravine]

hmm mine is kinda weird in that it like goes in and out of sleep mode before it would turn off so maybe thats it

[obsidian kayak]

Does it turn on when you turn the tv on?

[white ravine]

ima be real, never tried turning the tv on first

[obsidian kayak]

Try it

If you have that option turned on it would be in the cec settings on your Xbox I think in video settings somewhere

[white ravine]

well im currently away but another 12 hours turned on shouldnt be a big deal if it happened so ill check it n see if ill have to start manually turning the display off

[muted night]

Hey there! I am using Whatsapp.

[white ravine]

hi using whatsapp, Im 14 27 33 28

[tidal topaz]

Icky?

[austere pike]

Hey, i know i'm coming from a pc POV which may not apply, but i had an issue with a laptop that had the same behavior because an 'app' had permission to wake up my pc from sleep which woke up my laptop when it was closed, burning the keys into the screen... fun times

If you're leaving the house i would just unplug the xbox tbh, most permanent power button there is

[white ravine]

I considered it but it was max 24 hours this time so figured it wouldnt be that big a deal

[muted night]

hiiii

[limpid flicker]

I don't like unplugging modern consoles. They tend to complain when you plug them back in. I think it's because they aren't really off when they are off.

[vagrant mica]

Who is this new mod

[open chasm]

What if we lived in an alternate timeline where Microsoft will release the Xbox in 2025 😳

[limpid flicker]

Bot developer here to debug things, staying for the chat.

[austere pike]

Not new mod, was here to help with bot stuff, they haven't unroled me yet :(

[vagrant mica]

Oh right

[austere pike]

i have a feeling i've been secretly conscripted

[molten briar]

You're stuck now

[limpid flicker]

Sorry you have no choice, you must moderate this mess.

[muted night]

Don't unrole HoloBuck :(

[austere pike]

[limpid flicker]

It is pretty funny though - because there are a lot of people who for some reason I will never understand, they join the server and immediately ask "can I be mod", and the secret cheat code is "be a bot developer".

[austere pike]

Be a bot developer and then break something really really niche

[molten briar]

It's cause of the cat pictures

[tidal topaz]

Not enough cat pictures or too many?

[velvet turret]

whats up i just woke up

[austere pike]

For context if anyone is curious, it was the forum auto posting in #1091756150644555946 :P

[molten briar]

That's why got mod, is from the cat pictures

[austere pike]

[limpid flicker]

Then why is Tacti not a mod? Is it because of his ban record?

[molten briar]

Tact doesn't provide a bot with cat pictures though

[limpid flicker]

Ahh, I see now.

[austere pike]

technically the bot simply links to a url with cat pictures

[molten briar]

Yes but you don't have to spoil that info pfft

[austere pike]

it does provide sea slugs pictures though curtousey of chief

[tidal topaz]

Shhh. No technicalities here

[molten briar]

Needs unicorns and food

[austere pike]

If you got 50 pictures and a dream i can make it happen

[velvet turret]

was diablo 4 ever fixed to make it worth buying at all?

[molten briar]

This is primarily a food discord server after all

[obsidian kayak]

Buy this food

[limpid flicker]

Ya know, there's a series of RPGs I play called Ys.
They're mostly not on XBOX so I don't expect y'all to know them...
What I want to say about them is that it's really hilarious to me how every single game a new person falls in love with Adol (the main character) and then gets left behind.

This guy is such a serial heartbreaker.

[austere pike]

He's a, heartbreaker, dreammaker, love taker, dontcha mess around with me

[obsidian kayak]

[obsidian kayak]

Lol

Can we have a music bot

[austere pike]

If you're seeing this message you may want to wake up

[molten briar]

No

[austere pike]

discord says no, otherwise i would

[cobalt finch]

my discord on my xbox when i try to connect says "sorry looks like you were disconnected try connecting again" i didnt find anything on internet plz someone help me

[tidal topaz]

Five more minutes please

[molten briar]

We have a pin about why no music bot too

[obsidian kayak]

Oh

[austere pike]

oh you meant the server, yeah not my jurisdiction

[open chasm]

music bot would be epic but abused

[obsidian kayak]

I’m guessing because people would play inappropriate stuff?

[velvet turret]

also arent music bots not allowed by discord because how they use other services apis

[desert sonnet]

I propose only I should get access to music bot

[limpid flicker]

I just looked it up and LMAO

[molten briar]

#general-chat message

The related pin

[desert sonnet]

None of you who play experimental nonsense 😡

[limpid flicker]

Could be worse, could be cbat.

[austere pike]

depends on what api, technically speaking you can still use the youtube api but your bot won't ever get 'verified' which allows it to join more than 100 servers.

You can use basically every other api known to man for music, but google put it's foot down to make sure people watch ads for youtube and made the most dented implementation of youtube into discord

[limpid flicker]

BTW due to memes I accidentally listened to cbat enough that I almost started liking it.

[obsidian kayak]

I mean there’s activity’s still so technically that could get worse if watching YouTube 😂

[velvet turret]

i thought that one music bot was banned because it was tecnhicaly abusing another services api

[tidal topaz]

We're getting too nerdy for my liking. Anyone have any plans for St. Paddy's weekend?

[desert sonnet]

Honestly if there was a music bot let loose in here, I'd mute that thing so fast that I'd accidentally enter the speed force

[obsidian kayak]

lol

[austere pike]

rythym wasn't 'banned' but it had to basically be full taken down to avoid getting de-verified. The staff then had to completely remake the bot to strip the youtube out

[velvet turret]

also i remember being in a server and using the music bot playing legit music and stuff and i got perma banned for using it

[molten briar]

Play ice cream related soundboards for trippy

[austere pike]

Mee6, for the longest time, still advertised youtube music

[velvet turret]

ahh so google said no verified bots for use with youtube

[limpid flicker]

From what I recall Mee6 is not much liked these days since something related to crypto.

[tidal topaz]

Mee6 can get in the bin and stay there

[uneven river]

All in on Nfts crypto and A.I.

[velvet turret]

yeah a server i was in used it and they hated it but they didnt know any other leving bots so i custom coded them one in an hour for them to use

they instantly nuked mee6 off the face of the earth

[austere pike]

no, google jujst wants the youtube api 'abuse' to stop, discord is the one who put the rule up.

Basically anyone can make any bot, it's almost impossible to moderate, so when you want your bot in more than 100 servers or having 'protected' apis you have to request discord to 'verify' it and explain why you need specific apis.

Then because of slash commands they'll eventually figure out you use music and then de-verify the bot.

[limpid flicker]

TBH levelling bots are a bit pointless anyway... I mean good going making one but...

[frozen crag]

:(

[molten briar]

Cheater

[velvet turret]

a server im in uses it to know how much people are acvtive and give roles to them thaqt give acsess to a private mc server so they dont have trolls joining it 24/7

[limpid flicker]

But we don't... even use levelling here? How?

[velvet turret]

and im in the top 50 on the leaderboard there iirc (out of ALOT of people because its pretty big)

[austere pike]

tis probably just used for the animal pictures, but the bot primarily is for leveling, hence the joke

[molten briar]

Bot dev abuse on bot say

what's goin on here?!

[cinder veldt]

There was this game where I saw Hudson Mohawke on a track and immediately thought of cbat

[limpid flicker]

They don't want to expose the mechanics because then people would try to game it.

[velvet turret]

if its not that its probaly alot more complicated than that than i can think of

[velvet turret]

that is fair

[austere pike]

Shenanigans

[open chasm]

you mean... nonsense?!

[cinder veldt]

Oh yeah it was watch dogs 2

[limpid flicker]

Is it just me or is that guy's body way too small for his head and arm size?

[velvet turret]

anyone else save thier game like 7 times and keep checking because your worried

spesificaly in games that dont offer a save AND quit option

[limpid flicker]

Maybe not seven but I usually do save more than once with manual saves. It has happened in the past that I thought I saved but didn't when I was tired.

[cinder veldt]

Games that don't have save and quit are scary, and then there is me in Sims manually saving and then saving and quit

[austere pike]

I want my hour and a half of sleep back.

I'm supposed to have someone come do some work on my house today, they supposed to come between 9-9:30.

It is now 9:30 no sign, i woke up involuntarily at 8 am

[limber carbon]

I went to bed at 3 and woke up at 6. 😥

I know how you feel.

If I’m looking to buy a new controller and expand my storage for my series s, would I be better of just upgrading to a series x

[grave pond]

Would this work with xbox and can anyone recommend

[austere pike]

so i'm no console smarty but it should be the same as computers.

If the cost of the console is something you're ready to pay then you can always upgrade, but if you don't then simply updating your current setup is always a valid option.

When it comes to upgrading hardware generally speaking what you're doing is 'buying' yourself time. As tech evolves the games become too hard for current hardware to play or simply become incompatible.

Unless you're buying something like the Wii U (which was basically just a wii but with a hat) then it's usually never a bad idea to upgrade hardware if you have the money to throw at it

[grave pond]

Yeah just get the better xbox tbf the sea gate expansion card are well expensive

[manic bison]

My lb button is stuck it's not clicking what do I do?

[white ravine]

the plastic "spring" might have snapped

if so, the part can usually be replaced

[grave pond]

Get a drop of alcohol or water only a tiny bit and rub it on the button around the edges to help

[white ravine]

your risk if you wanna do it yourself ofc

[austere pike]

also btw, (no i'm not a mod, this is not a mod request) but if you want to make your amazon links more digestable for chat, you can delete everything after the /ref and the link will still work:

see: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TL-PA4010KIT-Powerline-Configuration-Required-UK/dp/B01BECPIMC/

[manic bison]

I won't do it my self nah I'll just find someone to fix it

[mellow roost]

You'd need to get it repaired or replaced. You can do this by either taking it to a licensed repair shop, sending it in to Microsoft, or even going on the Xbox website and buying the parts to repair it yourself. Do note, however, that we cannot assist in any self-repair.

[manic bison]

Just was checking if it isn't serious

[white ravine]

you could shake it n see if its rattling

[grave pond]

Probably cheaper to buy new rather than getting it repaired and I'd its new then
U don't have a risk of it breaking again and most likely get a warranty

[austere pike]

Usually i find that simply taking apart the controller allows you to just do a simple wipe clean of some of the buttons which unsticks them, sometimes grime, skin, and other oils just get inbetween the buttons and cause it to stick

I had this issue with my cursor buttons

[manic bison]

Will do! Also does this mean I was going too hard on the button

[white ravine]

might be

happened to me for admittedly that reason

[mellow roost]

Eh, not particularly, sometimes things just fail. That being said, if you feel like you might have been pushing too hard, could be worth trying to use less pressure.

That being said, I feel like if you were pushing too hard, you'd know.

[manic bison]

Thing is I was just playing fifa and it switches from player to player and I am usually very careful with these

[mellow roost]

Plastic tends to creak.

[manic bison]

And everyone in my country is very unexperienced

[mellow roost]

Unfortunately how it goes sometimes.

[grave pond]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/TL-PA4010KIT-Powerline-Configuration-Required-UK/dp/B01BECPIMC/

Will this work with xbox

And anyone k ow if there actually good ?

[mellow roost]

One thing to consider when using powerline adaptors for internet is the fact that the internet is being transferred over power lines so the speeds you'd get may or may not be anywhere near what your actual ISP package is.

[austere pike]

^ this definitely

[uneven river]

Is it a series x/s controller?

[grave pond]

I just need cos my xbox is far from router and wire isn't possible just to help dealing either packet loss and minor lagg

[limpid flicker]

My mum and dad use powerline network because there's one room in the house that can't get wifi through the walls for some reason. They get 1/4 the normal speed.

[mellow roost]

As long as you connect two of them together it should work (since you need an ethernet cable going to the devices anyway), but...yeah speeds might be questionable.

That being said, I wonder if there are YouTube videos available that talk about powerline adaptors and consoles. Even if it's not the same model it might give you a better idea.

[austere pike]

Generally speaking these kinds of generic products will work for almost anything.

What you're basically doing is making a theoretical 'ethernet' cord through the walls via the powerlines.

You're going to get reduced speeds as kylie said cause your network is basically fighting electricity through a medium that it wasn't supposed to be transmitted on.

Then of course there's energy loss on conversion

[mellow roost]

I'd be curious to figure out why that is. The room, I mean.

[austere pike]

I should caveat that by saying when they will work for almost anything i mean 'if it works for x, it'll work for y'

[mellow roost]

@ Sol
I kinda doubt they'd have lead in the walls unless there's something about British construction I'm not aware of. 😆

[grave pond]

Yeah but with powerline and wireless on the xbox it should combat packet loss and Lagg I'm only casual gamer so just dint wanna lag I'm not bothers about super fast speeds etc

[limpid flicker]

Me too! We theorise it might be because that room was an extension to the house. Or rather, part of it was. You can use the WiFi in the part where it was original.

I wonder if it is because of the hecking chonker of a steel lintel which you can clearly see in the ceiling.

[molten briar]

Nope thick steel totally a great wifi signal booster

[limpid flicker]

When I say you can see it, it's been finished with drywall but you can clearly see there's a beam running across the ceiling in that spot.

[manic bison]

Yes

[austere pike]

Wifi and bluetooth is weird. Like, in my car, i can walk inside my house about 10 feet before my phone disconnects from my car, but i walk around the back of my car and it'll cut

[limpid flicker]

Beyond that I dunno how we'd diagnose the problem.

[white ravine]

I actually recently got a powerline adapter to get internet in the other half of the house and yeah if it works it just kinda works for everything else

[uneven river]

My LB is also stuck and didn't game much

[austere pike]

theoretically you could grab a laptop and run a 'ping' command on your router (you can google how to find your routers ip address) and then just 'walk' into the room you're talking about.

The ping should drop off a cliff or simply cut out when you pass the magic point

[grave pond]

What powerline adapter for you all have

[slim walrus]

can someone please gift me gamepass for cloud gaming 🙏🏿

[tired hare]

LB is upper button right?

[slim walrus]

no, upper left.

[austere pike]

Begging is unbecoming of you

[grave pond]

Lb Left bumper

[slim walrus]

I'm sorry I just wanna play more games on cloud gaming since I font have a console

[manic bison]

I think it snapped not stuck

[limpid flicker]

It's so odd, just that one room, and only the latter two thirds of it. Note that it's the kitchen, if anything about kitchens is known to do this.

[slim walrus]

LB stands for left button

[austere pike]

{Left Trigger} {Right Trigger}
[Left Bumper] [Right Bumper]

[manic bison]

The rb is making that satisfying clicking noise
Lb isn't

[grave pond]

Fax

[tired hare]

Right was meant if I was right or wrong lol but yeah mine also broken so I opened my controller and there's little plastic pin which broke so either replace it or glue it

[manic bison]

So it's not
Left top right top
Left bottom right bottom

[slim walrus]

ohh it's fine

[austere pike]

🤢

[mellow roost]

I don't have any, and unfortunately, I don't actually know any that do. All I know is the basics on how they work. 😅

[white ravine]

gluing it seems like a kinda bad idea for something that is gonna get repeatedly stressed right?

[cinder veldt]

Or do playstation style 😛

[white ravine]

wouldnt it then be the weak point

[austere pike]

Glue is never meant to fix moving parts. Glue is specifically made to keep parts in a fixed state.

Never glue anything that is supposed to bend

[mellow roost]

Ope, hang on, I got the image for this.

[white ravine]

kinda what I thought

[long maple]

everything in my place is ethernet wired mostly for upstairs with 3 consoles up there. so got wires all up the stairs at the moment still till I can wire it better

[tired hare]

Kinda yeah but it's good if u can't immediately buy new controller or get it fixed

[white ravine]

ig that makes sense

[long maple]

I have an ethernet switch in the living room cause I have 3 devices and not enough ports on the router. so does the job

[mellow roost]

(Disclaimer, this is just a meme, don't actually WD40 your controller.)

[tired hare]

But if u wanna know it's been almost 2 months and still strongISH lol I did buy new controller

[white ravine]

I love this

[austere pike]

NGL, would be nice if houses were built with gigabit internet in mind for once.

gigabit ethernet cords are by no means expensive (though it can be hard to find one long enough, also with length the speed drops)

So it'd be nice if you could actually just replace all the ethernet ports in your house with cords capable of handling the speeds we currently have

[limpid flicker]

Whatever you install, eventually it will be outdated. Such is life.

[uneven river]

I only use WD when door hinges annoy me enough (it's not meant for squeaky but is still known for squeaky)

[long maple]

yeah we dont have Fiber speeds here yet, website just says its planned anytime between now and December 2026.

[white ravine]

I know exactly one place where I live where they have fiber

[austere pike]

true.... but gigabit internet right now is beyond useless. Only if you have like 5 or 6 heavy internet users in your house is it actually fully used.

I have 1k up down, (i'm supposed to but AT&T sucks) and i don't miss the 400mb/s that i'm supposed to be getting

[tired hare]

I usually remove the door and it seems to fix it however then comes another problem...unwanted people

[mellow roost]

Yeah that's the million-dollar (much higher, but still) question. How are we supposed to almost literally uproot over a hundred years of wiring everywhere?

[austere pike]

Drywall.... lots and lots of drywall

[cinder veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/emet-its-monday-shocked-lego-gif-13522759

[white ravine]

shoulda used a time machine smh

[cinder veldt]

Hoping my reference is seen

[austere pike]

also to be fair i did say 'build' houses, not modify current ones

[tired hare]

Europe: what is drywall? 🫢

[austere pike]

I get it, i promise

[mellow roost]

Yeah was just about to say, I don't think Europe would be super happy about all that drywall. 😂

[white ravine]

whoever doesnt get it hasnt seen the movie

[cinder veldt]

🥲

[mellow roost]

True true.

[austere pike]

I mean in europe, good luck making any house modification cause i'm fairly sure some of those houses, especially in england, are older than america

[trail harness]

Very true

[tired hare]

Not a surprise why some buildings beat 2 WWs 🤣

[mellow roost]

I do think that's a solid idea though, just building with the new wiring in mind. At the end of the day, fiber or something is more future proof (in terms of residential living, important distinction here) than all this damn copper.

[white ravine]

does the US not have many quarries or something

[austere pike]

To be fair, there wasn't exactly much bombing in the first world war

[cinder veldt]

Thicc brick housing

[trail harness]

There was a Torii gate in Japan that survived a nuke

[tired hare]

😅

[limpid flicker]

Thing is, we use it too, we just don't call it that. At least "we" in the UK.

[long maple]

yep I am in UK.. cant stand the weather in summer. where everything is designed to keep the heat in. 😄

[tired hare]

THATS A MYTH 🤣🤣

[mellow roost]

I had a feeling. It's a great material. Sure it's not gunna withstand a bowling ball being shot through your house, but like...

[trail harness]

it isnt

[white ravine]

or a fist apparently

[tired hare]

Wait didn't it survive nuke AND tsunami??

[austere pike]

drywall is cheap and easy to use, which is nice because if i need to make a hole in my wall i can do it, and if i put a hole in my wall, it's easy to replace

[cinder veldt]

Aw dang it, I wanted to bowl

[limpid flicker]

We call it "plasterboard" which is a very direct description of what it is.

[white ravine]

where I live they made wood houses till they figured concrete was cheaper than everything else oddly enough

[trail harness]

those were two different gates

[austere pike]

This is speaking from experience after having to cut a hole in a wall to retrieve a lizard, which is now going to be fixed by a contractor

[tired hare]

Ah fair enough

[trail harness]

but Torii gates are clearly quite resillient

[mellow roost]

Also, this topic always seems to inevitably come up when the topic of building materials happens, but like...American weather is a whole different beast. If we made everything out of brick, the tornadoes that claim a couple dozen lives would probably claim countless more.

...Because you know...bricks hitting people at 300 MPH is...bad times.

[tired hare]

For sure not sure how it survived shockwave

[long maple]

yep I noticed how thin my ceiling was after my toilet leaked still isnt fixed. will be this week. dont know why its taken a month. and then another month of waiting till ceiling is fixed

[gray latch]

or earthquakes in the west!

[white ravine]

but would a tornado even be able to pick up a solid brick/cast structure?

[austere pike]

yes

[trail harness]

Tornados are hurricanes can literally turn a lot of things into bullets

[white ravine]

hmm I never thought of that

[tired hare]

Yes/no

[limpid flicker]

Honestly considering nothing but the weather over there, I feel like there are large parts of the US that people really would be better off not living in.

[trail harness]

Depends... on the shape and size

[gray latch]

speaking of, I keep noticing chimneys on old brick buildings here in Minnesota. we didn't have those in Washington state, likely because they all fell over the years

[mellow roost]

The tornadoes we sometimes get are damn near apocalyptic. The silver lining is most of them happen away from people, or if they hit houses, the damage isn't spread across a wide area.

Mostly, though, because there's still tons of tornadoes that just wreck the whole shop.

[uneven river]

And then it would be costly to rebuild

[tired hare]

Also materials "china" "turkey"

[limpid flicker]

Who you calling a china turkey?

[white ravine]

we get alot of hurricanes here but usually the damage is caused by other factors so idk

[limpid flicker]

Ya damn plastic vulture.

[mellow roost]

This tornado was one of the biggest ever recorded in Americn history.

When I tell you how wide this thing was, you're actually not going to believe me.

[tired hare]

I'm referring to a countries who have huge corruption problems and it shows through buildings

[mellow roost]

This thing was 2.6 miles wide. 4.6 kilometers.

[limpid flicker]

I'm just taking it to make nonsense with. Given your username I think you would approve.

[white ravine]

Im taking a really interesting class on building materials that so far is mostly about different types of concrete

[mellow roost]

It might be an outlier, but when I say American weather hits different, on god I'm not kidding.

[devout flame]

Imagine using my personal hotspot to give my Xbox WiFi

Been there, done that. It works.

I feel like within my lifetime this will no longer be the case, but I'm awfully glad that British weather is fairly moderate. Just live somewhere with good elevation to avoid flooding and you're golden.

[trail harness]

sounds about right. SF is well known for quakes.

[gray latch]

if you go tour the Winchester mansion in SF there's a wing that was damaged that they just quit using, so it's untouched, furniture and all

[uneven river]

This reminds me Florida isn't good with hurricane insurance

[mellow roost]

Yeah this is why California is built for earthquakes.

[devout flame]

Florida is a rather dangerous state

Because the last big one took them all out. 💀

[devout flame]

I’d prefer Hawaii over Florida

is it really though, or does it get that reputation cuz funny florida man headlines

Oh I should mention that was brick.

[white ravine]

ironic innit

[limpid flicker]

I am glad I will never be around during an earthquake bad enough to notice.

[gray latch]

if it was brick it fell, if it was wood it burned (large quakes tend to cause fires)

[tired hare]

Innit 😭

[austere pike]

I'm glad i sleep through every storm i've ever been in

[devout flame]

I remember when gold was worth everything in the Wild West

[limpid flicker]

You're older than I expected.

[gray latch]

my biggest quake was 6.8 back in Feb 2001

[uneven river]

I sleep through hurricanes but the days of no power suck

[tired hare]

Unlucky lol I haven't seen anything special no earthquakes no hurricanes no tornadoes

[limpid flicker]

Every now and then the UK does get an earthquake, but it's not strong enough to ruin your house of cards.

[sage ice]

6.8 is larger than the big one in Cali (6.7)

[trail harness]

I've been outside in the tail of a hurricane before... not fun

[white ravine]

I remember being woken up by an earthquake and feeling like my bed was sinking tryna suck me in

[gray latch]

luckily it was a deeper one so less jolty. the shallow ones are more destructive

[uneven river]

Must've been alot of slapping around

[white ravine]

I think this was a 6.4 iirc

[sage ice]

When was the last big earthquake in Los Angeles?
Beyond Magnitude: Unveiling the Widespread Impact of the 7.1 Ridgecrest Earthquake. The Ridgecrest earthquakes that hit on July 4 and July 5, 2019 with a magnitude 6.4 and 7.1, respectively, were the most recent major earthquakes in Southern California.

I don't even remember those.

[gray latch]

they were prolly deeper too

[uneven river]

The worst storm here in my years was a side storm from hurricane in 2015

[sage ice]

I do remember the aftermath of the 94 Northridge quake

[gray latch]

I even remember that from the news

[uneven river]

No roads no power (roads still not fixed)

[tired hare]

That's everywhere tbh

[austere pike]

don't worry the roads aren't fixed anywhere nowadays

[gray latch]

that overpass in what was it, Oakland? that collapsed

[tired hare]

Almost*

[white ravine]

aint that the truth

[long maple]

yeah I remember one earthquake that woke me up. back when I lived in Coventry

[limpid flicker]

Living in the world is scary. Can we all live in a simulation instead?

[white ravine]

that said washington DC had pretty smooth roads when I went there last year

[sage ice]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquake

[uneven river]

The targeted algorithm always bullies me with videos about how bad my states roads are

[limpid flicker]

We no longer have roads. We have potholes with a thin rim of tarmac around them.

[austere pike]

I lost 2 of my wheels (not the tires, the wheels) on my car, basically brand new, from a pothole on the highway almost 2 months old a year ish ago

[gray latch]

yep, that's the one. the World Series was going on too!

[sage ice]

oh yeah, mid Oct

[tired hare]

In front of my school there was one before I was born and to think day it's still there 🤣

[uneven river]

They've been working on the roads to widen them here for a decade and very little progress

[gray latch]

Minnesota has terrible roads because of all the snow + plows. they do fix them but it's a constant problem

[white ravine]

Aint got no gas init

[limpid flicker]

The main roads which are under "national" control are fine here. It's the local roads. Local councils have basically a negative amount of money.

[mellow roost]

I hit a pothole in a Walmart parking lot so deep I bottomed out and scraped the underside of my van.

[gray latch]

I know that walmart lot lmao, it's the worst

[mellow roost]

Fortunately it didn't break anything, but still.

[tired hare]

I saying better take longer than finish it fast "china" again for example lots of roads done in few months but look at them now

[gray latch]

I thought we were gonna break a strut!

[uneven river]

Those mega store parking lots are usually terrible for their random giant holes

[mellow roost]

Facts!

[white ravine]

Yeah I think thats every walmart , gotta have a massive hole somewhere around it

[uneven river]

I too was in Walmart parking lot when I drove into a giant hole

[white ravine]

part of the branding even here at this point

[tired hare]

I drove into one in front of a repair shop "idk what they called in English"

[lunar tartan]

I love how all Kylie had to do was mention what happened to her car and nettle knew exactly which Walmart it was 😅

[limpid flicker]

Not directly related, but I remember when I was young, the city I grew up in took a bomb crater and basically decorated it, because it was easier than filling it in.

[stray beacon]

Extreme Ghostbusters is finally getting a north american physical release after 25 years

[tired hare]

I have 2 Ghostbusters cars in gta 😎

[velvet turret]

i really like having dvds/blurays of my favoriate movies tbh because streaming services just LOVE to shuffle them arround

i have the lotr trilogy on bluray and its the newest remaster and it looks amazing

[tired hare]

I had lots of em for Tom and Jerry God I loved it when I was a kid

[stray beacon]

I always loved this cartoon for it's darker tones

A shame it was so short lived. I believe it only had around 40 episodes. The studio behind it canned it and nobody knew why until like 22 years after the fact where they admitted they made it exclusively to sell toys and well, the toys weren't selling

Although imo, better to be short lived than turned into whatever the hell post season 2 TRG was

There were a handful of good episodes after season 2 but 'only a handful' doesn't really cut it when there's 5 more seasons of content

[limpid flicker]

I remember TRG fondly, but probably I don't remember season 3 onwards.

[limber carbon]

TRG = The real Ghostbusters?

[stray beacon]

Yeah

[long maple]

oh yeah my fav, watched them with my kids most were on youtube if I remember. its been years since I last watched. my kids are only interested in Crunchyroll these days

[white ravine]

that sounds like what a random nowhere town would make their whole theme tbh

[tired hare]

Isnt yt nice lol so much stuff there what u can't watch anywhere else

[limpid flicker]

This is a major city, and one which was heavily bombed during WWII. since then they removed the "hole in the road" or I should say "filled it in". It was a thing of its time. Everything has changed about my city since I was young. It's odd.

[white ravine]

so no more decorated bomb holes?

[tired hare]

Nope

[stray beacon]

I'm so excited for frozen empire. The director has stated that he's a huge fan of TRG and the movie is clearly taking heavy inspiration from the show

[limpid flicker]

OK so I said "decorated" - what I really meant was they turned it into an underground shopping area.

[white ravine]

that sounds even crazier

[tired hare]

Take care ladies and gentlemen imma go smash my bed

[long maple]

yeah Coventry changed so much after I left.. everything is over-run with restaurants when it had such a great club scene

[stray beacon]

I'm going to try and see it opening night

[white ravine]

may the bed bugs be ever repelled

[limpid flicker]

People had to decide what to do with areas that are heavily damaged.

[pearl flame]

guys, theres 2 discs inside my xbox 360 disc tray, how can i open it

[white ravine]

the 360 had a disc tray?

[pearl flame]

yes

[limpid flicker]

That was the main way it played games.

[white ravine]

thought it was a slot too like the series x

[sage ice]

games could run off the disc back then

[pearl flame]

whats a series x

[white ravine]

new xbox

[pearl flame]

never heared of it

[white ravine]

I meant as in having a tray instead of a slot

if its a tray a la dvd player could prob hold the eject button and wiggle it until it slides off

[dull bloom]

Yo if anyone has dying light 2 can you help me with something

If you can help dm me

[fiery python]

Or you could say what you need help with here.

[long maple]

oh hey congrats on winning Balatro, Rhinne. was looking at my community/friends thing and it said you got the achievement finally.. 😄

[fiery python]

Hah, cheers. Finally got a win earlier. About damn time too.

[long maple]

another 40+ hours for the next one?

I been struggling again. that new deck is fun though

[fiery python]

Probably will be, yeah

But now at least I can have it running on Mac while I'm on the Xbox. I would have been too angry if I got my first win on Steam before I got the achievement on Xbox 😄

[long maple]

I saw they making a mobile version too

[fiery python]

Yeah I'll definitely get that for mobile.

[dull bloom]

My game keeps crashing when I get to a certain point and I need someone to join my game to see if it still happens in multiplayer

[fiery python]

Try #1094715375884697600

[dull bloom]

Okay

[long maple]

there was an AMA on reddit from the dev.. apparently gonna be getting more updates and balance changes so thats cool.

[fiery python]

I've got a couple of long 9+ hour flights coming up next month, so I'll no doubt end up playing it a lot on those flights. Keep me busy.

[long maple]

yeah need to find some games to keep me busy. hardly played anything this month think I just got over 1K for the month. been distracted. its all good though

[fiery python]

I was doing well earlier in the year sticking with longer games when I was playing Like a Dragon, but now I'm back to bouncing all over the place again.

[long maple]

yeah I was doing well completing stuff and now just keep staring at my huge list of games not doing anything

[green laurel]

Hey that's what I do 😂

[chrome pagoda]

Why am I the only one who dislikes South Park😭😭 literally every single friend I have/had, my brother, my cousins....they all love it yet I don't lmao

[green laurel]

How can't you

[chrome pagoda]

The animation....it's lazy

[long maple]

I played about 10hours of NBA and myplayer is like 65 rated but thats a long game. the Xbox One version achievements are easier.

[fiery python]

It's not lazy at all. That's the style they chose.

It also allows them to make an episode in six days to keep the content topical and relevant to current events.

[chrome pagoda]

Compared to shows like Family guy, Archer, F is for Family.....yeah it is lmao

[green laurel]

You know why it's simple they can go to any subject and make fun of it because am episode is done that week

[fiery python]

No, it's not. It's intentional, not due to laziness.

[long maple]

south park been around since 1997.

[fiery python]

The later seasons are also far more detailed and involved with the animation compared to the earlier stuff.

[uneven river]

Getting 13 holo cards will take several months if you mean 2k24

[chrome pagoda]

Intentional or not my personal opinion stands😂

[elder adder]

What's up guys how's it going

[long maple]

I am just messing around in it... will be jumping onto The Show 24 this week

also hoping Alone in the Dark arrives from rentals

[green laurel]

I would say a lot of South park words here but I can't 😅

[full marsh]

..

[chrome pagoda]

Family guy is my favorite show. Half because it's hilarious as heck, king of pop culture references and also the animation. Clean and smooth

[elder adder]

I'm just getting ready for my birthday week

[long maple]

with my daughter having a SeriesX now. she wasnt able to play most the games I played as she was on One S. so started renting again.

[green laurel]

I don't care for animation style but relevant comedy value. South park and family guy are ones that don't care about offending

[echo dew]

make me wanna start watching south park

[green laurel]

Do it

[long maple]

yeah gonna get some tickets for Ghostbusters this week

my son turns 16 so got some things planned

[green laurel]

Nice Paul

[long maple]

man its crazy how fast we age up.. my daughter is 18 this year. lol

[echo dew]

family guys are not the same tho. The 'offensive jokes' inside now js feel loathed and cringe instead of making me genuently want to laugh like before

[fiery python]

South Park jokes aren't intended to be offensive though. They're more a commentary on people and society.

It's like Always Sunny. They're gross and offensive people. The show isn't about being offensive, it's about offensive people.

[green laurel]

Its so stupid random and gross also

[fiery python]

Sure, but it's also about 8 year olds who are stupid, random and gross.

Or are they 10 now? I forget, they aged up once or twice.

Ah, Kenny is 9, the rest are 10.

[green laurel]

Cartman should be in a mental asylum what they do with him lol

[fiery python]

I wish Balatro was a Play Anywhere title.

[halcyon stratus]

I don’t like poker so it was not any fun. I bought it because it works on Mac though lol

[long maple]

I dont mind card games used to play with family growing up cause yeah nothing else to do back then.

[fiery python]

I like a game of poker and love roguelites, so it's a perfect mix.

[halcyon stratus]

I love roguelites and I like deck building games and I love puzzle games, but it wasn’t close enough to those for me

I don’t do solitaire or any of that stuff either

[long maple]

theres always been a deck of cards in all the houses I lived in. just incase. but I prefer digital solitaire and spider

[hearty plinth]

I used to work with a guy who kept saying that phrase omg u killed kenny ... cause my name is actually kenny

It got really old real fast and annoying

[gray latch]

that sounds super annoying

was he a first-grader

[drifting vault]

yall think we’ll ever get cod on gamepass

[fiery python]

Yes

[foggy skiff]

or someone with the mental fortitude of one, since rumbly said this was at work

[drifting vault]

yipeee cause my friend gave me his black ops 3 disk and it just wont download lmaoo

[wild mulch]

Yep absolutely 👍🏻

[gray latch]

well yeah I was being sarcastic lol

[fiery python]

No guarantee on the older CoD games, but future ones should be as all first-party games are added day one.

[foggy skiff]

people really do be like that though

[drifting vault]

oh nice

[gray latch]

that they do

[fiery python]

Well, day 4 for some now, because they access three days earlier to Ultimate versions.

[foggy skiff]

knew a guy named Michael, guess what he heard his entire childhood, that damn Life cereal commercial

[gray latch]

smh

[long maple]

yeah gotten to the point theres so many of these early release versions now

I think Topspin 2K is the same. 3 or 5 days

[fiery python]

I don't see them as early release. That's day one. The cheaper version gets late release.

[foggy skiff]

"Mikey! He likes it!"

[drifting vault]

i have ultimately

[long maple]

I am planning on buying Topspin comes out next month

[fiery python]

No, I mean the Ultimate edition of the games themselves, not Game Pass Ultimate.

[drifting vault]

ohh

[elder adder]

I have a question if I have this correctly gamepass ultimate if you cancel before the expiration date nothing will happen right

[fiery python]

Depends what you mean by 'nothing'.

If you cancel then the service will end, so that's something.

[elder adder]

I mean I can still renew it

[fiery python]

Why cancel if you're intending to renew? Just leave it running.

[elder adder]

Oh okay I just wanted to know

[limpid flicker]

I think you've confused "cancelling" with "turning off rebilling".

[elder adder]

What I meant was if I try it out for 14 days for $1.00 and then it's $16.99 a month

[daring isle]

I cant sign in to my xbox account in minecraft xbox got alot of bugs bro 😫😫😫😩😩

[fiery python]

Yes, that's normal.

[elder adder]

Okay awesome thank you

[limpid flicker]

If you "cancel" it the subscription ends pretty much immediately. If you turn off rebilling, it runs to the end of the currently paid period and then ends.

[novel hatch]

Ayo

[limpid flicker]

At least that's what I understand.

[elder adder]

Ok I will keep out an eye on it and make sure stay ⚠️

Former Bungie And The Pokémon Company Lawyer Defends Sweet Baby Inc., Says His Job Was To Get “Rid” Of Anti-Woke Gamers

[tired hare]

I have no tolerance of people who try and force things down my throat constantly, anyone can be lgbtq or whatever I don't care...just don't force things down my throat and expect me to be happy about it

Bungie took the esg bribe money to force politics down my throat...I do not tolerate that.

[gray latch]

being gay is not politics

[sullen forum]

No one is forcing LGBTQ anything down anyone's throat. We're looking to be able to live our lives and to have equality.

It's people like you that have had everything catered to you your entire life who are now having to see others get some semblance towards equality that cis white males have had their entire lives that are claiming everything is being "forced down their throats".

It's not being forced down your throat, it's called having to live in a world where other people get things too.

[tired hare]

But forcing it down my throat to make a quick Buck with esg money is.

[tired hare]

It 100% is when people are paid extra to do it.

[sullen forum]

No one is forcing anything down your throat. There's giving equality to others. Period.

when a pfp gets banned isn’t it changed automatically should I change it to the default or will i get another suspension if I keep it the same

If you've received enforcement action over your picture, it's not a wise idea to continue using the same picture.

ive been trying to get to official xbox support but keeps giving me an error 👀 is this a me issue or is all of xbox support down rn?

[fiery python]

Seems like a you issue.

[fierce herald]

interesting. Perhaps I should try another browser?

[abstract yoke]

i personally think that a xbox series x/s is basically a pc, im talking to you rn on a xbox, it has keyboard and mouse support (for most games anyway) you can use youtube, and you can use microsoft word to do work or homework, besides some things like steam or other things, its kinda a cheap alternative to a pc

[fiery python]

And the experience using Excel and Word is pretty bad compared to an actual PC.

[abstract yoke]

yeah

[fiery python]

Just because they share similar functions doesn't mean they're the same thing.

[mellow roost]

An Xbox isn't "basically a PC" though.

[fiery python]

You can play video games on a Tesla. That doesn't make it a games console or a PC.

[ripe crystal]

Bluetooth connected

[fiery python]

Nor does it make a console basically a Tesla because it can do some of the things a Tesla does.

[fierce herald]

darn, same issue on a different browser. x.x

yeah thats true

You can run Linux from a USB stick without changing what's installed on your main drive. If you try it, then you can surprise him by saying "Already have. Was cool. I like Windows though."
He won't be ready for that.

[wild mulch]

We fished off the dock at a lake near us.

[mellow roost]

Jesus, what a catch!

[halcyon stratus]

in the water that thing has to be twice as strong as her

[mellow roost]

I'm surprised it didn't knock her clean out with its tail. 💀

[wild mulch]

I totally didn't know or forgot you were in MN?! 👀

[mellow roost]

Yeah was in Arizona since 2010 but just moved out here to Minnesota around March of last year. 😄

[sage ice]

Now at Griffith observatory

[mellow roost]

I'm crying. Listen here. 🤣

[wild mulch]

Ohh cool! Welcome!

[mellow roost]

The snow sucks, the roads are awful, but I'm glad to be back in the Midwest. Casey's doesn't exist in AZ, and there's no pizza out there that fills that hole.

[sullen forum]

[wild mulch]

Well this year was fine haha!

[mellow roost]

Oh facts, every time it snowed I didn't have anywhere to go, and by the time I did, it was gone. 😆

Also, I drove all the way from Arizona to Minnesota in one go, and I'm actually shocked that my tires didn't touch a single flake. There was mountains of snow everywhere but none on the street.

It was one of the things I was worried about because...you know...desert tires and snow don't mix...at all.

[wild mulch]

It was amazing. I shoveled once.

Today is wild though. You in the fire warning area too?

[mellow roost]

I'm not entirely sure, I haven't heard anything from my partner or housemates. 🤔

We're in northern Minneapolis.

Oh I'm dumb, yeah, there is a red flag warning here.

[wild mulch]

Okay. Then yea. It's basically all central/south MN haha

I'm about 30 mins NW of Minne

[mellow roost]

Ah, I see.

You know...it's actually really wild how many people here are from Minnesota.

What's even more wild is how close we all seem to be. Nettle is literally only 7 minutes from us, for example, and that wasn't even planned. That was pure serendipity.

[wild mulch]

Whaaaaat

That's so rad. 😆

[sullen forum]

How far is that from Mickey? 🥁

[wild mulch]

😂 you win

[mellow roost]

Yeah Arizona life kinda fell apart so we just up and drove to my partner's dad's house. Come to find out they're so close.

Friends just...seem to appear when I go places. I go to Vegas and suddenly, a lifelong Xbox friend I had never met in person is like "hey I'm here visiting." Go back to Arizona, another lifelong friend from Carolina or something is like, "hey I'm here, where you at?"

It's like...I'm just a magnet for friends. I don't know how it happens.

[wild mulch]

I'd love to visit AZ again. Went a few years ago for a business trip. I hung out with the kids while hubs had a stock trading thing. Was fun!

[mellow roost]

Yeah Arizona is really nice...as long as you have AC and a tolerance for spicy food. 😆

[wild mulch]

I love both. Plus the different scenery is so fun. I also love the Rockies. When my sister lived in CO for 3 years I got to visit three times! 😆

[mellow roost]

Yeah the scenery is really nice. When we first moved from Chicago I was disappointed that we gave up green trees and fields for brown rocks, but after a while the rocks grew on me.

Now I wish I had the rocks back. Screw lawns. /lh

[wild mulch]

Very true. I gotta have some green. Right now is pretty depressing outside 🥹

[hearty plinth]

i never moved from the city i grew up in.

[wild mulch]

After moving an hour north, I've lived in 3 cities close to where my parents still are. Haha

Not really my type of game, but for $7 I really don't think you can go wrong.

[hearty plinth]

if u like it

i think personally siege is quite sweaty

[cloud osprey]

Nvr played rlly but I'll take ur word for it

Huh

[hearty plinth]

siege is a 4 v4 tactical game

[mellow roost]

Siege is a pretty solid game that still gets updates and balance patches. It's got...well... The community can be pretty damn toxic, but the gameplay itself can be really addicting.

[cloud osprey]

Alr I'll get it then thx for the incite

[mellow roost]

I just squeezed a bug with my fingers (not on purpose, went for a scratch and...fingers met bug) and I'm not sure how I feel about the sensory experience that was.

That was...not nice.

[hearty plinth]

i tried siege a few years back. i suck playing it and my team were really toxic against me

[limber carbon]

Kylie, could you name the most spiciest dish there?

[hearty plinth]

anything with pepperx or carolina reaper in it

[mellow roost]

For normal foods people eat on a regular-ish basis, I feel like it would have to be a south/southeast Asian curry. So much spice, so much flavor, surely they have the crowns for heat.

As for the spiciest thing I've personally eaten, it was ghost pepper wings from Buffalo Wild Wings. Had to sign a waiver to eat them, if I remember correctly. It felt like I had eaten the essense of fire itself. They were some good wings though.

[kindred sentinel]

What are people playing this weekend? I was thinking of giving FF15 another go

[hearty plinth]

[limber carbon]

Okay, thanks. They do sound interesting, I'm not so sure how I fare, but I do love a challenge.

[mellow roost]

I'm struggling to decide on any specific region of S/SE Asia though. India, Bangladesh, Thailand...there's so many great choices. Probably the most flavorful region in the world.

[ebon pike]

Someone help me, I try to play Minecraft, Fortnite and Borderlands 3 and it appears that I'm offline, what could it be?

[limber carbon]

Thai should have the most spiciest food in general according to most of my Indian friends.

[mellow roost]

I mean I wouldn't be surprised. I have a friend from Laos and I asked him one day what I should eat and he told me to avoid the spiciest Thai food. 💀

Hard to say. It says its renewed so it may not include cables.

[grave pond]

Ah ok

I'm just trying to find a cheap is one that includes everything and will help

Don't need anything fancy

[long maple]

always assume no cables so then you will have them either way

[grave pond]

True good idea

Is cat 6 good enough for xbix gaming?

[mellow roost]

For starters, do you both live in the same house?

[dusty falcon]

yes

the gamesharing part is working but when we try to share xbox gold it doesnt let us

[mellow roost]

Hmm. I'd try restarting the console(s) or just try again later as it might just be a temporary bug. Not 100% sure why it wouldn't share as mine does with my partner.

[dusty falcon]

you are supposed to be able to play the same game at the same time right?

[mellow roost]

On different accounts, yes.

[dusty falcon]

okay thank you

[halcyon stratus]

oh boy do I have some news for you

[sterile sequoia]

Buy gamepass core

[halcyon stratus]

if a game costs money: you need game pass to play online
if a game is free: you can play online for free

[tropic sinew]

why

[halcyon stratus]

because running a business isn't cheap

since microsoft is not classified as a non-profit charitable organization, they need to make money somehow

[long maple]

its the same with other platforms too.. PC is the only one that doesnt have to pay for Online. there is only a handful of games that do on PC.

Hey guys, do yall know any good samsung phone that is good for gaming and is also a budget phone?

[normal wadi]

Guys, how is RE4?

[sudden radish]

Because my current samsung phone always overheats whenever i open a game and its very irratating

[normal wadi]

For anyone whose played it

[mellow roost]

I don't have anything in mind, but what is your budget?

[mellow roost]

It's definitely a great example of how a remake should be done.

[sudden radish]

Well i live in South Africa and my budget is R6 000 - R8 000

I dont want a really expensive phone tho

[long maple]

yep I have Village, RE3 and 4 to playthrough

[sudden radish]

I was gonna try a Xiaomi redmi but people said it also over heats alot

[normal wadi]

Fair, I was checking it out since it was on sale

[sudden radish]

I want to buy a samsung phone thats good for gaming

[normal wadi]

this game actually looks really good, damn

[mellow roost]

8,000 ZAR is about 400 USD, and there's a lot of options in that price range for decent Android phones (assuming the prices for the phones themselves translate from USD to ZAR), but if you're looking for Samsung specifically, it might take some looking around.

That being said, you might be able to get an older flagship model like an S22 or even an S23 (this heavily depends on where you find it though because they can still be expensive) that would work perfectly fine.

[normal wadi]

it looks better on my tv

nvm then

[mellow roost]

I'm checking Amazon and I'm finding lots of S22's for around 300 USD (~5,600 ZAR).

[sudden radish]

Oh alright, thankss i appreciate it

[steady pendant]

Im so done with xbox support

[normal wadi]

why

[steady pendant]

how am i supposed to recover my username if you cover up my username?????

[mellow roost]

No problem. I'm hoping the prices translate well for your region, but yeah, should be able to get one of those no problem.

[normal wadi]

also I can relate

[sudden radish]

Yeah i can

[steady pendant]

like I just want my 2 year old xbox account back

[normal wadi]

dw, I got a permanent suspension and it just said “no details available” about 3 months ago

[austere pike]

btw, just a headsup, xbox support is not unique in that, basically every support center nowadays is almost infuriatingly unhelpful

[normal wadi]

so it never actually told me the reason

[steady pendant]

thats not same though

[normal wadi]

Yeah I know, I’m just saying I don’t necessarily like the support

[normal wadi]

real

[steady pendant]

not like the virtual bot can do anything

its like talking to a brick wall

[mellow roost]

While I'm not saying every single agent I've ever talked to has given me a solution I was happy with, I feel like as long as you go into your experience with customer support with the right expectations, then you won't be disappointed.

I can't say I've ever had a truly negative experience with Xbox customer support.

[normal wadi]

fair enough, they’re just doing their job tbh

[austere pike]

Customer service is a woefully undeveloped and underappreciated part of a company that has quickly fallen behind in the evolution of the 'corporation' in favor of outsourcing, replacing with bots and in general, reducing it to little more than a shell that can't do much more than solve basic problems

[steady pendant]

you talking about the calling option in support?

[mellow roost]

Yes. I only call, I never use text chat if I can avoid it.

[normal wadi]

I do wish they would give out reasons for permanent suspensions though in the details, as I had to ask what I did in my appeal, even then they just listed off different parts of the TOS that I might have broken

still don’t completely know what I did but I’ve just accepted it at this point

[normal wadi]

Yeah, same here 😭

[mellow roost]

Support can't help with enforcement though, which ties into the whole 'right expectations' thing.

[rich aurora]

bless 33w chargers for real 🙏

[normal wadi]

yeah I know, I had asked in the actual appeal as I know they’re likely not going to accept it

[steady pendant]

my opinion with calling, is just not easy to point the problem your getting, unlike if the used like a gmail system which actually allow you to send pictures which can help the support person to deal with the problem.

[mellow roost]

An example I had in the past was a few years ago. There was one time an insider update bricked two consoles of mine (I don't have direct proof it did, but considering both had the same exact failure right after updating...¯_(ツ)_/¯) and while I did ask if there was some type of replacement program, I wasn't disappointed to learn there wasn't. I figured I'd ask, but at the end of the day it was an unrealistic expectation.

There's only so much customer support can do about certain things.

[steady pendant]

that's true

[rich aurora]

33w chargers are so neat because i can get a drink or do some stuff and when i look back is charged at like 70 or 80 percent

[mellow roost]

Yeah fast charging has been a wild innovation.

[steady pendant]

I have a charger that I think is for another type of computer or something, that I can charge on my phone and in a matter of like 5 minutes it would be charged up to 30%

[normal wadi]

sounds like what happened to me when I tried updating one of my PS3’s

[mellow roost]

The only negative experience I have on a regular basis with customer service (and even then it's not even the fault of customer service) is the time it takes to help me out, because...I'm one of those people that always seems to find myself deep in the weeds with issues that apparently only exist for me. 💀

[normal wadi]

It completely froze at one point during the update, I even waited like 2 hours, still on the same screen. I powered it off and back on. Prompted with a red screen that said a serious issue had occurred and to contact Sony

[stray lark]

i stole my schools chromebook charger

ive been had the since one since elementary school i js graduated

[halcyon stratus]

i'm still annoyed about the time the support dude asked me if I was home alone and what i was wearing

[stray lark]

i think he was alone

[mellow roost]

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT! 💀

That was wild.

[normal wadi]

was your support agent Jeffery Dhammer or something

[steady pendant]

tinder but on xbox

[rich aurora]

my phone is 33w compatible but my charger supports 100w

so if i ever upgrade i know what phone to get

[normal wadi]

Wait, that was a true story? 😭

[mellow roost]

Speaking of watts, there was an era of educational PC games that I'm genuinely sad so many people missed out on.

[halcyon stratus]

yes and after all that weirdness they still sent my xbox back without doing a single thing - it instantly red ringed as soon as I plugged it in, which was what i sent it in for in the first place!

[rich aurora]

the ones that looked like paint programs or licenced nintendo/sega properties

remember Mario and Sonic had like, a bunch of educational software

[covert zinc]

why is forzha horizon 5 60 bucks

[mellow roost]

Thinkin' Science: ZAP!, for example.

[halcyon stratus]

because tehy decided not to charge $70 for it

[mellow roost]

Math Munchers was another.

But yeah. Real shame.

I never used an xbox until now

[halcyon stratus]

so then when i try logining in it says its connected to another account?

was it at least one of the volunteers and not the actual support team..? idk how it would be much better or worse

[halcyon stratus]

becuase contracts are complicated

[hearty plinth]

cause mlb made ps devs put it on xbox as well

[halcyon stratus]

there was a more advanced one for slightly older kids where you built sirvuits and interfaced with i/o devices to build robots that would drive through little puzzles and there was some kind of enemies too

Robot Odyssey was super complicated for the time https://datadrivengamer.blogspot.com/2023/03/robot-odyssey-suburbs.html

this was the solution to one of the levels!

[mellow roost]

Jesus. And here I thought the Edmark game above was pretty advanced for young children.

it almost seems like a too good to be true thing, 25k points is around 30 dollars for just buying something 😳

Mine was just...learning, building, education, after school activities, and video games. I didn't (or rather, wasn't able to) leave the house much. When I did leave the house, however, I was not hanging out with the right crowds.

[stray lark]

anyone play the new mud runner is it worth

[stray lark]

i got pushed to those crowds

i was a nerd but like not one nerd liked me.

and bc i was a nerd the other kids ain like me. most my friends was online actually frm very lil when id get home late n get on

some canadian potheads they was 13-18 i was some squeaky n they included me lool

[mellow roost]

Same. Started drinking and smoking at 15, but even before that I was being pushed into so many mistakes because I just didn't have any other outlet. Saying I was sheltered would be a gross understatement.

Got nicknamed Shaggy at one point.

[stray lark]

i js found n understand with the misunderstanding, we all relate

especially as u get older colder n bolder

all my friends was females not one dude liked me they thought i was gay cause of it
i think i was jealousy ms stuff
hs is so weird ion rmbr nun all a buzz i was never there i graduated did my work js never went

[stray lark]

whyd u get called shaggy

[hearty plinth]

no

[mellow roost]

Long hair, soul patch, was into things I shouldn't have been (at least not at the time).

It was actually a perfect nickname. 😂

i like having online friends cause they dnt really judge n when u do is xbox who caresss

Yeah that's why I figured I'd probably have to explain. XD

[hearty plinth]

do u mean like ms currency credits paul?

[long maple]

yeah.. for a 25 card its near 30K points now

[lunar osprey]

inflation for digital items is a hell of a thing 💀

[hearty plinth]

if i buy the expansion for tales of arise it will work for xb1, series x and pc if i have ultimate game pass right?

[night rapids]

Do you mean the reward that says EARN 25k for shopping? Or you redeemed 25k for a credit

[lunar osprey]

earn 25k for shopping

[night rapids]

Thats very different than the answers you're getting. You don't get a bonus 25k for just buying anything

[lunar osprey]

lemme guess its something ridiculous like a xbox or laptop

[long maple]

[hearty plinth]

lucky i have to clearup my backlog wishlist on steam

[night rapids]

I just wanted to be sure you knew that you weren't getting 25k points if you just bought something small and then came back here upset about it

[lunar osprey]

too late but it's ok, bought something i was gonna play anyways

they should tell us what we're meant to buy or how much we're meant to spend lol

[night rapids]

Thats why I wanted to clarify when you were getting different info from people here. I'm sure the fine print is there somewhere

[lunar osprey]

all it says is earn atleast 10 points per dollar which you spend in the Microsoft store, nothing else

[mellow roost]

I could swear there was no limit outside of the yearly 500k limit.

Could be wrong though.

[long maple]

yeah takes awhile to save 25K up if you just doing the daily/weekly other rewards and Game Pass.. takes just under 3 months

[hearty plinth]

but who can spend that much on games majority of us dont have that much of despoable income lol

[lunar osprey]

i doubt anyone actually reaches 500k except maybe SOME very dedicated people

[night rapids]

I've been complaining about that earning reward being misleading for a long time

[mellow roost]

Yeah it's definitely not super clear in some areas at all.

[lunar osprey]

it's just disappointing that's all

[mellow roost]

There's two+ in here. 😄

[night rapids]

Lots of people max out their redemptions here yearly

[long maple]

I never save enough up. I just use them on random Indie games lol

[wild mulch]

Phew that's awesome. I make about 100k a year...or close to.

[lunar osprey]

how? you would need to spend ridiculous amounts of money

[long maple]

most I saved up was 67K and that took forever.

[wild mulch]

wait no, half that. LOL

[mellow roost]

Yeah most I had was like 40k.

[night rapids]

Some countries have better rewards too. Its not just from buying. Even though these people buy more too

[wild mulch]

Yea this

[hearty plinth]

i need another 180k to hit 2 million lifetime ms points
