there's a difference between "stopped being produced" and "never existing at all"

[cinder veldt]

I skipped that last part, started typing when they said it wasn’t in stores

[foggy skiff]

it was the first part, lmao, anyways

[cinder veldt]

Oh god

Oh no I missed the first 4 words

[foggy skiff]

oh deer

[cinder veldt]

It all seemed so in line with what we usually get

I thought you were being sarcastic

[tired hare]

hey guys

I'd like to host a giveaway for a fallout 76 xbox code

[merry palm]

dm modmail about it

[tired hare]

kk

[open bison]

So I looked up the other endings of silent hill 2... Holy frick why is this just... The best story to ever be told in any video game ever

Even though I played the heavily scuffed HD port of the game, I still came out of silent hill 2 knowing I played a masterpiece

[weary solar]

[tired hare]

oh ok

ill just host a giveaway then

[merry palm]

???

you just dm modmail

[open bison]

Has anyone in this server actually played the silent hill games because Everytime I mentioned it no one acknowledges

[merry palm]

giving away things is allowed lol

[tired hare]

yeah

[open bison]

I'm gonna take that as a no-

[merry palm]

is that a scary game?

people play them yeah. not my personal jam

[tidal topaz]

I've played them but a long, LONG, time ago

[open bison]

Silent Hill is, probably the second most iconic horror game series

[tired hare]

Psychologically scare not just boo or jumpscares

[tidal topaz]

Don't ask me anything about them though

[open bison]

Number 1 being resident evil of course

[merry palm]

i dont like scary games :)
good for you that you have a game you like

[open bison]

The thing is, resident evil was never a game series I came for the scares of. See the "Survival Horror" genre is more or less about a genre of games where you manage health and ammo as you solve puzzles to escape, surviving, the horror. Silent Hill has alot of these elements and I would say it is survival horror... However it's way scarier

You come to silent hill for the scares. Plain and simple

[tidal topaz]

I was young and dumb(er) so didn't know what I liked 😂

[merry palm]

i have enough real life things to be scared of 😂

i just want cute things

the real horror game is my rent payment lmao

[open bison]

The thing is silent hill 2 is the only game in the series I've beaten... But also.. atleast watch a let's play.. my gosh.. one of if not the best story in gaming

[tidal topaz]

I'm so glad I live at home. Rent in Ireland is far too expensive

[open bison]

Without spoiling anything, Silent Hill 2 is about James Sunderland, a seemingly normal looking man, whose Wife died of a disease 3 years ago. However, somehow, he receives a letter that was signed by her telling him to come to "their special place" located in the town of silent hill

After that well.. I just explained the intro of the game and that's as far as I'm going the rest is too good to give any details

[supple vault]

Somehow I managed to play fallout 76 yesterday without gamepass and now it’s prompting me to get gamepass when I want to play it again 😦

[versed swan]

it had a free play period

[hearty plinth]

Then buy core or ultimate to play 76

[tired hare]

can i use remote play far away from my xbox (for example on the other side of my town) when my xbox and phone are connected to different wifi

[uneven loom]

Yo

[cinder veldt]

Sure

[uneven loom]

I believe so, my cousin was able to play his Xbox that was in a different city using remote play

[hearty plinth]

But better make sure the data connection is fast enough and stable otherwise it would lag really bad

[twin fractal]

Any idea when we could see Alone In The Dark on sales? Like, the critics weren't so good hshs, and in sales... I don't think that good too

Something tells me that Alone In The Dark is gonna go back to the freezer

I wanna get it! But by full price... Not to much honestly hshs

[wooden zealot]

Alguém tem uma conta de Xbox 360 com algum jogo pra me emprestar?

[twin fractal]

If just they inverted the budget in gameplay and visuals instead of bug actors

[daring wolf]

Yo, does anyone know if the original xbox has the faulty capacitor if its manufactured in 2005-07-06?

[wooden zealot]

I just want an account, I have an Xbox 360 without any games

[daring wolf]

So make your own?

[wooden zealot]

As?

[daring wolf]

Is it hard to sign up for Xbox Live?

[wooden zealot]

I don't have money to buy the game

[wooden zealot]

No

[daring wolf]

Not to be that guy, but rule 13 applies sadly

[wooden zealot]

What rule 13?

[desert sonnet]

Yo. Does anyone know if I own an Xbox One and I have European outlets , can I go to sleep at 12 am and wake up by 8 am to get a full 8 hours of sleep?

Nah. Not a chance then. Sorry

[wooden zealot]

I just want an Xbox 360 account with a game

[desert sonnet]

?

[daring wolf]

I mean I have the OG Xbox one with the supposed noisy PSU

[long maple]

nobody can do that, so you will be stuck with a new account and no game

[daring wolf]

I can sleep just fine

Lol nah they are super chill

ayo nhl on gp, havent played one since nhl 09

Hmm. It looks familiar but I can't figure out what it is.

[tidal topaz]

Not a fan of bugs but tell him hello

[merry palm]

Some really common beetle thing here

Idk what it's called either

[mellow roost]

Seems like it might be a boxelder bug.

[merry palm]

Might be yeah

They don't bite or anything

[coarse stream]

hello

[merry palm]

Hi

[mellow roost]

Genuinely one of the greatest features ever added to a device. I can't believe this wasn't added sooner, especially considering things like Google Lens and Bixby Vision have existed for years now.

[merry palm]

Oh yeah. So nice

[tidal topaz]

Wait. How did you do that?

[mellow roost]

On Android devices running 14 or higher (at least I think it's a 14+ feature), you can hold down the home button and enter Circle to Search.

[tidal topaz]

Oh that's gonna make things a lot easier. I didn't realise that was on the Pixel 7 yet

[merry palm]

Yep!

[mellow roost]

Works on just about anything, even people's profile pictures. Google unintentionally helps me moderate. XD

[merry palm]

It's handy for looking up things fast

[tidal topaz]

I do a lot of looking things up

[merry palm]

Hehe

[mellow roost]

If you circle a product, it'll usually give you a link + the price too.

[tidal topaz]

Oh that's cool

[sterile sequoia]

isnt that the new galaxy ai thingy?

[tidal topaz]

Considering I'm doing it on a Pixel 7...

[mellow roost]

Nah, surprisingly, this is a stock Android feature.

[merry palm]

It's an android thing

I have it on my pixel

V handy

[mellow roost]

I thought it was Galaxy AI too at first and I was worried I was gunna lose access to it at some point, but nope, straight from Google.

[tidal topaz]

[sterile sequoia]

aah i thought it was only on the new galaxy 24 models since i saw ads abt circle to search

[sterile sequoia]

it is broken it shows a hamster not a beaver 😦

[mellow roost]

Yeah it definitely has some quirks, but on the whole it's really awesome.

[sterile sequoia]

i defo can see why it can be handy

[mellow roost]

It used to have an image, but now the image is gone, I guess. I'll have to update the link.

[cloud bluff]

can someone help with display settings

[raw quail]

Turn contrast all the way up

[cloud bluff]

Resolution and refresh rate

[raw quail]

Turn that all the way up too

[merry palm]

That will be a lot of personal preference I think

And then depend on your screen thingy

[cloud bluff]

Yea I can’t exactly do that

I have a qhd monitor and 144hz refresh rate but it’s not letting me set it to 120hz 1440p

If I put my resolution to 1440p then it being my refresh rate down to 60hz and if I put my refresh rate to 120hz it brings my resolution down to 1080p

[limpid flicker]

Have you checked the specs to be sure it can do max settings on HDMI? Some monitors can only do their best settings on Displayport.

[cloud bluff]

It should be able to either way series s doesn’t have a display port

[limpid flicker]

Yes, I know that. I'm saying those monitors can only do their best mode on PC / something with a DisplayPort.

[mellow roost]

Success.

In hindsight I don't know why the hell I didn't just use imgur.

I've not been to the food bank here in a while. It's at weird times when I'm not able to get there

[mellow roost]

Yeah I kinda wish it...wasn't like 9-5 (or similar). Feels...kinda silly to only be open when the people who really need it are likely at work.

[limpid flicker]

If a food bank were like a money bank. You put in food, and you can earn interest!

[mellow roost]

Oh I wish. XD

[cloud bluff]

Does hdmi 2.0 support 120hz at 1440p?

Or do I need 2.1

[limpid flicker]

Also your food wouldn't go off because they'd keep it all in rotation and you'd get whatever was fresh when you make a withdrawal.

[foggy skiff]

oh

[wind monolith]

Has anyone read solo leveling if so what games on gamepass feel the same as the manga where it's like open world online with dungeons and stuff which give armour through raids all that fun stuff

[foggy skiff]

ESO

[mellow roost]

Diablo is the only thing that comes to mind, but it's not 1:1.

[wind monolith]

Oh alright well thank you very much

I've been craving a game like that ever since I read the manga ngl

Solo leveling is magnificent

[tough hemlock]

I mean with a floppy drive to read the disk

[mellow roost]

Of course it won't work.

[sage ice]

still no

[mellow roost]

There's no reason whatsoever that a console (<-- this part is important) from 2020 would read a storage medium that went obsolete before you were born.

[limpid flicker]

Yeah no. An external floppy drive works with Windows because of drivers. Those drivers won't be in / compatible with XBOX OS because there's no need whatsoever for them.

[tough hemlock]

Hmm ok

[half hazel]

Yuhh I made banana bread

[limpid flicker]

Think about the complete lack of use. They store like... what.... 1/20,000th of the cheapest USB flash drive.

[tough hemlock]

Which is?

[versed swan]

incredibly weird thing to announce when you're in the 9th circle of PR hell

[half hazel]

I couldn't find the flour
So I used corn flour
Then I found the all purpose flour after putting it in my oven
Truly one of them moments

[limpid flicker]

You're asking what the capacity is, or what the cheapest USB thumb drive is?

[tough hemlock]

The capacity

I have one of every size floppy with me

[versed swan]

i guess they wanna drive away attention from that guy they killed

or i guess fly it away?

[short mantle]

Are you talking about the whistleblower?

[versed swan]

yes

[limpid flicker]

To my surprise you can still buy 1GB flash drives... why?

[raw quail]

Planes too hard, just make cars 😎

Flying cars are dumb

And windows 95 came on twenty-nine 3.5” floppy disks

[limpid flicker]

Does XBOX support media playback from USB stick?

[desert sonnet]

Wut

[versed swan]

my school photos in 2018 came in on like a... 100 something MB flash drive

[mellow roost]

I also don't think Boeing has any idea where the world is gunna be in 2030. Do they expect flying cars to really take off (no pun intended)? Who's gunna afford them? Who is gunna pay for the societal changes required to support flighted vehicles for personal use?

And here's the biggest one: some people can't even drive, and we're gunna give them pilot's licenses?

[tough hemlock]

Actually it does

[half hazel]

Speaking of the martian
I once been to the same area that both the martian and dune was filmed at

[green laurel]

Justice for pluto

[limpid flicker]

Seems unlikely. Don't car batteries (if you mean the ignitition battery) mostly die only when the car is off? Due to alternator recharging them?

[half hazel]

Ayo...
If flying cars exist
Then a practical batman beyond movie can be real

[desert sonnet]

Uh oh

[mellow roost]

Only time my van has actually ever died while driving was when the alternator failed.

Having your entire gauge cluster turn off with the car still running is...an event.

I would assume that batteries dying in flight is probably not a huge issue as long as the thing that charges it is fine.

[sterile sequoia]

what would the rules for driving a flying car be?

[mellow roost]

Futurama comes to mind.

[half hazel]

Could follow the same rules as aircraft

[mellow roost]

Realistically, yeah, would very likely be much more complex.

[half hazel]

Someone should pitch a space ready flying car so that stupid scene from fast and furious can be reenacted

Or at least make sense

[sterile sequoia]

flying cars are still wierd to me tbh

[versed swan]

y'know i always heard fast and furious is dumb but if that's actually a scene im just baffled

[fiery python]

People are dumb enough on the roads, so there's no way regular consumer flying cars would be a thing for a super long time. Likely not until we reach self-flying status like we are with cars.

[short mantle]

They put a car on a rocket and went to space
I forgot the reason but it was a real scene

UK only

Actually they put a rocket on a car

[hollow hawk]

I like to think the reason the skies are considered the safest form of travel is because everyone in the sky is trained to be decently competent with operating a plane
With cars it seems like anyone who can push a pedal and turn a wheel without crashing gets a license

[fiery python]

@radiant lagoon Do not ask again

[radiant lagoon]

Why?

[half hazel]

Street racing to secret agents
What's next, Mario fighting an oppressive dictator?

[fiery python]

This is why - #general-chat message

[radiant lagoon]

Oh

[fiery python]

Also, tagging a mod in a message breaking the rules is not smart.

[strange prism]

always some drama going on here lol

[radiant lagoon]

I accidentally did that sorry

[short mantle]

Oh, I meant to show you this a few days ago, Rhinne. We got a few of these in. I almost bought one.

[fiery python]

Very nice

Does anyone know which OG Xbox models were affected by the ticking timebomb capacitor?

[fallow moat]

3 days to prep for the new Destiny 2 raid… and i work, so I will likely miss the contest clear

[fiery python]

Would look good on my BttF shelf.

[desert sonnet]

Flying cars sound dangerous but I'm willing to let you all take the risk so that I can have an improved version years later

[short mantle]

So kind of you

[fiery python]

I recently got the Sports Almanac replica. It's an actual book with all the sports results in it, not just an empty one.

[short mantle]

Nice

[daring wolf]

I’ve got a hoverboard replica I crafted myself. Its only finger sized though :/

[surreal hamlet]

Whatever happened to the guy that got the almanac in BttF 2?

[daring wolf]

Biff? If you mean old one from 2015, he dies

[surreal hamlet]

Rip

[daring wolf]

Basically as a result of changing his past

So he dies and becomes another version

[fiery python]

There's a deleted scene where he vanishes when he gets back from his trip to 1955

[daring wolf]

Shame there’s tons of deleted scenes.

Most actually add to the lore and explain plot holes

[fiery python]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=124-bZmfbPQ&ab_channel=FandangoatHome

[hollow hawk]

Revision 1 to 1.4 have low quality clock capacitors. Though all of them have a chance of ending up with leaky caps. The older of the OG Xbox consoles just ended up with the worse end of the stick afaik.

[desert sonnet]

I always thought it was weird how at one point he became a handyman of sorts to Marty's dad. The dad hired him despite the issue with his wife 😬

[daring wolf]

Which revision would a console manufactured in 2005-07-06 be?

PAL Xbox, so Im assuming MFG is July 6th

[fiery python]

You can't think too much about the plot of BttF. It's full of major flaws and plot holes.

[surreal hamlet]

Hey Rhinne do you have any idea if I can send my Xbox to Microsoft for cleaning it is very loud now

[fiery python]

Probably not.

[surreal hamlet]

I wouldn't say that's classed as a repair so I'm not sure

Ah dang

[wind monolith]

Downloaded diablo 4 and shadow of War to feel like sung jin woo which to play first?

[fiery python]

Doesn't stop them being amazing movies. Still some of my favourites.

To the point I have a BttF tattoo now.

[daring wolf]

Blast the vents with compressed air could possibly work, not something I’d risk tho

[halcyon stratus]

bttf is a top 5 time travel movie with intricate subtle attention to detail that is lost on many and not even attempted in modern movies.

you will watch your tongue or I will challenge you to a wild west duel

[hollow hawk]

Looks to me like a 1.6 or 1.6b. Like I said, these consoles are getting up there in age, so problems may not exist now but caps still don't like existing for super duper long periods of time.
Note rule 12 as well though, so it's just you and google if you go out and try anything with your hardware. Get a tech who's serious about fixing stuff if you have any doubt about it.

[surreal hamlet]

My Xbox has asthma just like me

[foggy skiff]

what are the other 4

[surreal hamlet]

Tried that, didn't really help unfortunately, and I'm not gonna open it to try that

[short mantle]

After watching the Fallout tv show, it made me want to go back and play New Vegas, especially after seeing the teaser at the end of the show. New Vegas is the only one I haven’t beaten.

[daring wolf]

I don’t want to mess around with it, just wanted to see if mine would potentially be more at risk, but seems to me its less likely

Compared to an older revision in this case

[hollow hawk]

Indeed

[surreal hamlet]

My only memory of new Vegas as a kid was me trying to tell my dad to stop crouching if he wanted to talk to the NPC, he did not like backseat gaming lemme tell you

[desert sonnet]

Daang. Old Biff looks like crap

[surreal hamlet]

Well yeah Biffs life sucked, Biff dying was a good thing cause he turned his own life around

[daring wolf]

Wait so if it would be a 1.6, does that mean it would absolutely refuse to boot incase the capacitor fails? I remember hearing something about that

[desert sonnet]

He looks like he just ate too many double cheeseburgers with extra cheese, had someone tell him a relative died, and he ran a mile all at the same time

[surreal hamlet]

He didnt just run a mile he ran outta time 😎

[daring wolf]

I still remember the Citroen Taxi that appears when they first arrive in 2015

[hollow hawk]

Yep. If the clock cap is missing or dead, the console will throw an error. I don't know what code exactly though.

[daring wolf]

To me it always fascinated me seeing these regular cars ”retrofitted” and modernized by 80s standards

[surreal hamlet]

I thought the clock cap being dead just meant it didn't track the time?

[daring wolf]

Well yes on the older versions

[surreal hamlet]

Ahh gotcha

[hollow hawk]

Exactly right, but the 1.6(b) consoles don't like it when it's missing for one reason or another

[daring wolf]

1.6 seems to be the only one refusing to boot when it fails

I found it interesting that the OG Xbox intro is rendered in real time

[surreal hamlet]

I've always loved that logo

[hollow hawk]

You'll be surprised to know a lot of consoles around the general span of time did this

[daring wolf]

PS2

And gamecube if im not wrong

[daring wolf]

I’ve always wanted to see it modernized

Since the logo has pretty much been the same since 2005, only simplified and minimalized with time

[hollow hawk]

PS1 is another good example. It's sound is done out of speeding up/slowing down clips of songs
That also is the reason why you get a "fearful harmony" error if there's a modification to the console and it ends up reading executable code on the disc thinking it's the second half of the boot screen (since that second half is stored on the PS1 disc)

[daring wolf]

God the OG XBOX dashboard always terrified me

Especially with the Nasa recordings in the background

[hollow hawk]

I remember hearing those the first time and thinking "what in tarnation is making that noise"
It probably hit harder for the people who fell asleep, accidentally ejected their game and then woke up to the green dash and those sounds

[green pawn]

I loved when computers and gaming devices had cool startup sounds and animations

[candid obsidian]

do you guys know if there is an outage map for xbox stuff

and is colorado experiencing issues rn

[fiery python]

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status shows if there's issues or not.

are there any known issues of not being able to install a game bc i dont see it on there

[fiery python]

If you don't see it on there, that means there are no known issues.

Can I ask?

[fiery python]

If it has anything to do with the topic above, read the link I posted first.

[bright tree]

Nope, not related to above topic

[obsidian kayak]

Ok

This is scary

[mellow roost]

All questions are allowed as long as they follow the rules. You might as well just ask instead of wasting time asking if you can ask the question.

[bright tree]

Thanks my question is
How do I know my gender?

[mellow roost]

The journey of self-discovery is a personal one. Only you can answer that question.

[lunar tartan]

Kylie gave me nasty vitamins

[fiery python]

Some people always know, some people think they know and discover otherwise later, some people don't know for a while.

[mellow roost]

They smell like old people and taste kinda weird but it's good for you. 😤

[fiery python]

Plus various other scenarios. Everyone is different.

[bright tree]

I feel like I'm a man and I'm quite inspired by Patrick Bateman. ngl

[mellow roost]

Extremely poor choice of role model.

[obsidian kayak]

Flenstone vitamins?

[bright tree]

You hate me 😕

[mellow roost]

Nah, those one a day for men things. I think they have more zinc than the women ones, so that's what we went with.

Oh

Why would you want to be like a murderous psychopath?

He literally changed my whole life

[bright tree]

Bruh

There is no "bruh" here. You're literally talking about the main character of American Psycho. It couldn't be any clearer that he isn't a good person.

Be inspired by Robin Williams or someone else actually worth emulating.

Have you?

Real

[bright tree]

Yes 4 times

[mellow roost]

I know media literacy is dropping like a rock but come on now.

[mellow roost]

Reapers from Mass Effect make similar style noises. Just metallic tech noises.

I think the...something from Halo make similar noises too, but I might be thinking of something else.

[fallow moat]

Ohhh.

[obsidian kayak]

Got a braided loop for my Apple Watch

[trail harness]

Enemies being called things like "Reapers" makes me want to kill them even more ngl

[mellow roost]

OH!

War of the Worlds. The tripods.

Whatever category of noise that is, I like it.

[desert sonnet]

Those things were scary

[trail harness]

and in gmod you get stuff like this, which ig is sort of parody of that

[desert sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/war-of-the-worlds-tripod-gif-26156868

[fallow moat]

I think I watched that on dvd or on tv when I was little? If I did, yes it was so scary.

[desert sonnet]

The little girl in the movie was infuriating.

Made me never want to have kids 😆

And then they just started blastin

[obsidian kayak]

Is that the thing from half life 2

That would blast me with lasers

[desert sonnet]

The alien from Signs was also scary. At least at first

And then you got the alien from Scary Movie 3

[fiery python]

Yeah, that scene where it walks out from behind the bush at that kids party is freaky.

It's one of the very few scenes in movies that's weirded me out. I don't know what it was about it.

Just saw a trailer and damn I gotta watch it

[lunar tartan]

@mellow roost still smells like the vitamins

[mellow roost]

Yeah the vitamins are very strong.

Smells awful.

[fiery python]

Looks like it's free to watch on YouTube

'Free with ads'

[halcyon stratus]

Heavy on the B? Or fish oil?

[lunar tartan]

They’re men’s gummies

[mellow roost]

Yes, very heavy.

[limber jewel]

How do I get banned?

[mellow roost]

200-400% daily value or whatever.

[mellow roost]

If you intend to do a ban speedrun, you've already failed. Just leave.

[halcyon stratus]

Yea the bees be stinkin 😦

[desert sonnet]

Hell yea. I'll watch it on my break

[limber jewel]

Are you implying it’s incredibly hard to get banned?

[halcyon stratus]

Gummy vitamins usually don’t smell as bad since they have gel and fruit juice in them

[mellow roost]

No, but if you want to leave the server so bad, just do it yourself. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fiery python]

How about just not? Do something more productive with your time than making yourself look like a bad person.

[limber jewel]

I’m too lazy, someone has to do it for me

[surreal hamlet]

Kylie!

[mellow roost]

Rachel!

[ripe grotto]

That movie is scary in some scenes

Quite disturbing

[desert sonnet]

Without Warning was another good alien movie. It was done in the style of a mock newscast that "interrupts" a fake movie to announce an alien craft crashed to earth and a news agency reports on it throughout the night to interview scientists on scene, correspondents around the world reporting strange activity and has a mix of actors and real life news hosts

[fiery python]

yeah it's definitely not one for the squeamish.

[ripe grotto]

But it’s a good one

Would recommend

[mellow roost]

Putting this on my list.

Was the one from 1994, right?

[lunar tartan]

Kylie likes that country song that goes something like “did you boots stop working” 😂

[mellow roost]

I hate it.

It's the biggest thing on TikTok since that Bella Poarch song.

[limpid flicker]

But Kat said you like it. Are you saying he would lie to us?

[mellow roost]

Same with that Praise Jah song. I like the Marley family music, but for Christ's sake, pick different songs.

[limpid flicker]

Maybe you're just embarrassed by how much you like it.

[bright tree]

I am back

[desert sonnet]

Yea that's the one. Whole thing is also on YouTube

[versed swan]

i often forget im not the only one with kat in username

[trail harness]

Just tried Stewarts chocolate vanilla strawberry combo ice cream and it is so good

[halcyon stratus]

Is it? Do you have proof?
Did you consult the oratrice mechanique analyze cardinale?

[mellow roost]

Kinda funny how it says 800 units of vitamin D is 100% of your daily value when I used to be prescribed >5k. Apparently I'm such a goblin I need over 5 people's worth of vitamin D. 💀

[fiery python]

You need to drop the end of your name.

[cunning python]

Is it even really effective?

[fluid loom]

Does the buy 1 get 1 free always select the higher price product for payment

[cunning python]

People tend to say its a waste.

[fiery python]

Yes

[mellow roost]

My levels are pretty much naturally at rock bottom (not really but still) and I feel fine. That being said it all depends on the person.

[fluid loom]

And i thought i could trick them paying for red dead 1 and getting the crew😔

[fiery python]

They didn't become a trillion dollar company by letting things like that slip by.

[cunning python]

True.

[mellow roost]

Generally speaking, if you gimme water, sugar, and video games, you'll forget I'm in the house.

[cunning python]

Love sweet?

[mellow roost]

Yus.

[cunning python]

Gummy Snakes are my fav.

[short mantle]

This was a pain in the butt, but it was worth it in the end. I got around 60K bottle caps before getting banned.

[hollow hawk]

same tbh, sometimes I forget I'm in the house (was late to work once because I lost myself in a game)

[mellow roost]

Yeah it definitely takes a bit of time.

[mellow roost]

I miss that feeling.

Part of me wonders if losing that form of immersion is a result of unmedicated ADHD.

Used to happen a lot back when I was on Adderall. I'd get SUNK.

[cunning python]

Went to Costco with my fam. The bill was 600$

[sage ice]

about average

[mellow roost]

Congrats, you have groceries for the next 6 months. /j

[versed swan]

i thought it was pretty easy on the contrary

[halcyon stratus]

that's literally the most frequent side effect and why some people take it, lol

[mellow roost]

I bought a pack of Costco bar soap a few months before we moved into our apartment in Arizona.

We still had 3 bars left when we moved out like 3 years later.

[mellow roost]

True, true...

[halcyon stratus]

oh that's too risky... what if you don't like the flavor!

i can't buy more than 2 of any particular soap or i'll get bored of it

[mellow roost]

It was a very mild smell, which probably helped.

I can't even remember what it was.

[sage ice]

so buy 3 different packs and rotate them

[short mantle]

Did anyone see the news about Walmart and the heat they’re getting from it? They got caught selling meat labeled at more than double its actual weight.

[cunning python]

Hopefully 😂

[mellow roost]

Yeah I seen a bunch of that lately. I hope they get sued hard.

[versed swan]

yikes

[mellow roost]

Some places have even removed the scales, but you can bypass it by selecting a fruit sold by weight.

[mellow roost]

Lmao, the cruel irony of ADHD.

[halcyon stratus]

this isn't the first time walmart has gotten sued for this exact same thing

The Walton family are already billionaires. How much more money do they need?

[mellow roost]

That's a question I keep asking every time I see someone with more money than anyone could ever possibly spend.

[versed swan]

no no they need the money for every time they get caught pulling this crap /j

[mellow roost]

Fines are the entry fee for rich people. 😆

[versed swan]

while it would unfortunately count the packaging, i think meat should be weighed at the register so the customer knows the exact price, unless they rig the scales unfortunately (although people are paying attention this time)

[molten briar]

Register scales aren't controlled by Walmart

[desert sonnet]

They're controlled by Super Walmart

And the super scales are controlled by regular Walmart

Ugh I miss how they were open 24 hours

[molten briar]

Biscuits probably had it comin’

[mellow roost]

🤣

[tired hare]

biscuit in a can a thing what never knew that

[mellow roost]

Yeah the dough comes pre-cut in one of these cans. You open it (it's much easier to open if you do it right), put them on a tray, and bake.

[hollow hawk]

I remember feeling so tough and cool when I'd set these on the counter and karate Chop them to pop em open
I'd sometimes do it in one hit and for the rest of the night I'm just like "yeah, I'm awesome"

[molten briar]

I remember the days before they added pop open with a spoon to the directions

[sage ice]

wife hates opening them due to the scare factor, I always need to open them

I hate it too

I've always found the pop super satisfying over anything else

So I can play old zombies online?

[mellow roost]

Yes.

[tired hare]

do anyone know how to get a free 360

[mellow roost]

Just a fair warning, however, because they're on 360 it means they're all hacked to hell and back. I wouldn't expect many cheater-free lobbies.

Big reason why I stick to Xbox One multiplayer and beyond if I ever get the itch to play any.

[tired hare]

what

I didn't say anything bad tho

[opaque badger]

I'm not sure I understand. People are still playing the xbox one? And cheating from it

[weary solar]

#rules 💩 3. Do not use profanities. Keep it clean and family friendly, do not attempt to bypass the word filter.

[mellow roost]

No, the Xbox 360. Multiplayer for 360 games usually have a lot of cheaters.

if anyone know it be cool I really want to play sake 3 and black ops 2 and minecraft but I can't sadly

[mellow roost]

They're backwards compatible on Xbox One and Series consoles, they don't have separate lobbies.

[mellow roost]

There isn't a way.

[opaque badger]

Thats what I meant . That's pretty neat I guess

[tired hare]

what I didn't tho

[mellow roost]

You did.

[tired hare]

this is what I said

How does gamecube run on series x

[mellow roost]

It doesn't.

GameCube is Nintendo, not Xbox.

[tired hare]

what no I didn't and how is that a bad word

[opaque badger]

Read that u can pay 20 dollars to get access to a certain part of the Xbox and then download apps

[sage ice]

hot take, we dont do that here

[halcyon stratus]

my hot take is that games are fun

[gray latch]

😎 cool take: console wars are dumb

[halcyon stratus]

my other hot take is that i shouldn't have clicked 'level 4' on my thai yellow curry order

[opaque badger]

Also I heard u can play certain pc games on xbox?

[sage ice]

no

[opaque badger]

Thru a certain paywall idk

it isn't a rule 12, it is just a poor Edge experience

Game pass cloud gaming comes in clutch tho

So when I finally get my xbox I won't have to stream palworld through gamepass anymore right? I can download it from gamepass??

[mellow roost]

Yes, you can download it and play it locally.

[opaque badger]

Perfect

Will my save data stay on my account?

[ripe grotto]

How often are giveaways?

Just wondering how they work

[ripe grotto]

What ever happened to Helldivers 1?

[mellow roost]

Launched and nobody played it.

[ripe grotto]

Oh

[mellow roost]

Okay not nobody, but it probably didn't have a big playerbase.

[tired hare]

not on xbox like helldivers 2

[halcyon stratus]

i mentioned my shame the other day....

[ripe grotto]

I suppose Helldivers 2 got popularized by streamers and such

[tired hawk]

Helldivers is good. That’s probably enough

[halcyon stratus]

i literally didn't even think "well, this is HD2, so there must have been a 1..." i just thought.... "Yes, yes, this game came in to the world with the number '2' in its name from the very start' lol

but helldivers 1 actaully looked interesting... it was an isometric game. but then it wasn't an RTS or even a turn-based one, it was a twin stick, so... i probably won't bother going back to play it

[tired hawk]

Hell divers still good. I play on vita

[mellow roost]

Powder coating is one of my favorite things ever.

[gloomy mist]

hey all i have a question, can i play Call of Duty with my friend whos on a xbox 360 while im playing on series x?

[mellow roost]

Yes.

[gloomy mist]

yippee

[mellow roost]

💀

This has gotta stop, mobile games. /j

[steep cobalt]

who tryna get me a new Xbox

[halcyon stratus]

your parents?

[steep cobalt]

They dead 😂😂🤣

[halcyon stratus]

okay but if he is a starfish, why does he have a starfish on his belt?

that would be like me wearing a belt buckle with a random dude's face on it

[mellow roost]

Maybe the star is a...sunnibal.

LeatherCraterface.

These jokes bombed but I'll pretend they were funny anyway.

Ha ha hoo hoo.

[jagged ether]

hi

[foggy olive]

why always me

[mellow roost]

Sometimes cheese isn't for everyone.

[foggy skiff]

Taserface?

[foggy olive]

like i purchesed 15 usd

[halcyon stratus]

15 bucks worth of cheese is a lot of chedder

[foggy olive]

for fc 24 and now its asking for credit card i dont have that

[mellow roost]

You don't live in a country that uses the US Dollar. Not sure why you even bothered.

[halcyon stratus]

not a lot of brie though

[foggy olive]

0.20 😭

tax

so there is no way?

[quartz thorn]

Any Hozier fans in here

[halcyon stratus]

so there is no way?

no way to what?
not pay tax?
no, there is no way to just randomly make up your own finance rules lol

[gloomy mist]

since when do games charge tax?

[halcyon stratus]

since 2000s

[gloomy mist]

hm i guess i never noticed

if it said 6.99 then i paid 6.99 but idk

[mellow roost]

You might live in a country with tax included in the listed price. Some places don't do that.

[halcyon stratus]

not in america you didn't.

Congress reworked the sales tax system to require online-only / digital-only sales to collect taxes even if the seller did not have a physical store in th e particular state

[gloomy mist]

California

[halcyon stratus]

that change was a massive change to the tax code that had enormous shockwaves across the internet

[mellow roost]

Then you just haven't paid attention when you buy things, because there's absolutely tax.

Not a huge deal though.

[gloomy mist]

interesting

im 100% assuming this applies to DLC right

[mellow roost]

It can also depend on what you're buying.

In Nevada, for example, food has no tax, so the price you see is what you pay. Some places, clothing doesn't have tax.

[gloomy mist]

oh yea same here in Cali, 0 organic tax

[mellow roost]

Big fan of that.

Not trying to get into politics though.

Anyway, point is, depends on where you're at and what they choose to tax. I'm not aware of a state that doesn't charge tax for digital goods, but I wouldn't be surprised if it existed.

[halcyon stratus]

i thoguht most states didn't charge sales tax on groceries*

*(hot deli food and alcohol aren't 'groceries')

[mellow roost]

I can't remember at this point since it seems to be getting more and more common. I remember being really surprised when I went to Nevada and food wasn't taxed though.

I think Illinois and Arizona both tax food, but honestly, it's been so long I can't even remember.

[gloomy mist]

i just checked my most recent purchase on the game store and tax was 0.00

[mellow roost]

Interesting.

[gloomy mist]

$19.79 no tax

[mellow roost]

Just looked it up, and yeap, California is exempt. Wild, TIL.

[gloomy mist]

guess i got saved lol

[mellow roost]

So damn expensive to live there, makes sense to have relief somewhere. XD

[gloomy mist]

wayyy too true lol

[desert sonnet]

Wait.. that's probably marketplace fraud

It's been really awesome watching Magnolia Park grow.

It's a pop punk/metal band. Figured I should probably say that.

I was there when they were just starting, their stuff was fire, and now they got 1M monthly listeners on Spotify.

[tired hare]

guys please recommend me a good 24" monitor for xbox series x, i live in india and the total amount is going $ 742 which is 61,989 indian rupees. i want the amount go less than $ 600. kindly help

[mellow roost]

There's tons of 4K monitors for under $300, let alone $600.

[dusky prairie]

Anyone who plays ESO ?

[weary solar]

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

[dusky prairie]

Actually I wasn’t looking group it’s like only looking for their thoughts

[mellow roost]

I don't personally like it, but it's pretty popular, tons of people do.

[foggy skiff]

after all that time you spent researching a name?

[mellow roost]

Yep.

[lunar tartan]

Y’all I am gold 2 in Fortnite right now. This is the highest I’ve ever been

[mellow roost]

I keep trying, but I just can't get past everything I hate about ESO.

[sweet scroll]

i should NOT have gotten a 4k monitor with the gpu i have

Not a fan of this, because it'll mean Sony gets Star Trek. :/

[dull escarp]

Apollo Glboal are also involved
For context as per variety

Apollo previously floated a $26 billion offer for Paramount by itself and before that it floated an $11 billion offer for the Paramount Pictures film studio on its own.

[mellow roost]

Sure but we all know how Sony loves to handle their own properties, which is to say they develop a death grip on it.

Plus, they already own Columbia. Why do they need another major production company?

[molten briar]

Ugh no

Unless they sell off star trek since paramount has been killing it off lately

[mellow roost]

I hope they do. Keep Star Trek the hell away from all that mess.

[foggy skiff]

let it die /j

[mellow roost]

It for sure will in their hands.

[molten briar]

Cast of lower decks is trying to get someone else to pick up the series but have to fight paramount to let the ip go

[mellow roost]

If they buy it, they're gunna do absolutely nothing with the license, just sitting on it for years while fans get mad.

[mellow roost]

I hope they're successful in getting Paramount to let go.

[molten briar]

Same

[mellow roost]

In just terms of game franchises alone, there's SOCOM, Syphon Filter, Twisted Metal, and many others that have just be sat there doing absolutely nothing. Classic PlayStation games that need to come back.

I don't even wanna think about their media industry as a whole.

[sweet scroll]

what about as a fraction

[mellow roost]

Oh and Resistance, but I guess I can understand why that one hasn't come back. Sometimes I feel like the only person who played it.

[dull escarp]

I could see then selling up a lot of the TV stuff too (plutotv, CBS for example)

[mellow roost]

One can only hope.

hi

so is there a way i can use my phone as a second controller

xbox series s

[mellow roost]

No.

[foggy olive]

??

[short mantle]

Paramount announced a few days ago that a new Star Trek movie is in the works.

I wonder what would happen to it

[zinc crag]

isnt star trek from young sheldon

[molten briar]

Yes, section 33

And starfleet academy is coming next year, new TV show

[short mantle]

Do you mean 31?

[molten briar]

Yeah

[mellow roost]

In happier news...

[lunar tartan]

Pizza dog!

[halcyon stratus]

What.

[short mantle]

As far as the shows go, TNG is the only show I've watched. I should watch the other ones, too. I hear DS9 is pretty good.

[lunar tartan]

Idk at first quick glance I thought that dog was dressed like a pizza

[foggy olive]

can i use keyboard and mouse as second player?

[zinc crag]

he speaks for the trees

[mellow roost]

DS9 has the best writing in the franchise. That's not to say TNG isn't the quintessential Star Trek, but the writing for DS9 is just really good. They do so much for mostly taking place on a single space station.

[zinc crag]

chat

[mellow roost]

If the game supports KBM and splitscreen, sure.

[foggy olive]

how to check lol

[mellow roost]

Google.

[gray latch]

I love DS9 :)

[mellow roost]

@zinc crag Quit with the gen alpha nonsense.

There's a reason it's filtered.

[molten briar]

But the musical episode of SNW!

[zinc crag]

oh

[short mantle]

Have you watched Picard, Kylie and Space? I’ve heard mixed reviews.

[gray latch]

I've only seen part of the first season

[mellow roost]

I watched the first season, and I...think I finished the second, but haven't gotten any further.

[zinc crag]

demon slayer?

[molten briar]

Picard ended alright

[gray latch]

we were going over to this guy's house and watching it back before the pandemic started. once it started, that ended that

[short mantle]

Damn Covid 😡

[molten briar]

Strange New Worlds definitely better

[gray latch]

I think I was enjoying it well enough, but I wasn't so into it that I feel like I needed to finish it

[short mantle]

I've watched all of the movies. Wrath of Khan is the best, imo, and the one with the whales is my least favorite.

[molten briar]

Strange New Worlds has an episode related to wrath of khan

[mellow roost]

Facts. SNW is probably the best Star Trek has been since DS9 and VOY.

[gray latch]

I've only actually seen the next generation movies

[molten briar]

Did you actually finish s2 yet Kylie?!

[mellow roost]

No, I lost focus. I'll get back to it once the franchise finishes filming.

[molten briar]

Pfft

S3 hasn't released yet but already plans for s4!

Telling you, s2 has one of best episodes in star trek history

[tired hare]

but they should be available in India

[mellow roost]

I would search Amazon or whatever other online stores you have available, then look up what you find on YouTube or something for reviews.

[tired hare]

in my new home, ill have a 48/55 inch tv (in my livig room) and ofc it'll be 4k . i want a monitor that will be in my room

[hoary echo]

whatsup people, i need a headset for my xbox.. what are some good recommendations. dont want to spend too much

[mellow roost]

Why not just get another TV for your bedroom?

[short mantle]

I was looking up the recommended watch order for all the shows and movies and came across this...

[mellow roost]

Sounds about right.

Watching Enterprise is up to you though.

[tired hare]

nah mom denies, she said we could'nt spend time together. but she said you can have a monitor for my things yk

[molten briar]

That's missing Discovery

[tired hare]

also, is 1080p on 27inch bad?

[cinder veldt]

Not really

[late scroll]

Hi all

[mellow roost]

The ending for it is so infamously terrible. If you watch it, I'd honestly just skip the last episode. Only downside is that without that final episode, the show then ends on nothing and has no closure. It's just that the closure sucks. 😂

[short mantle]

Where would Discovery go?

[tired hare]

im asking this because where ever i searched there is only negetive responds for 1080 on 27inch.

[molten briar]

Discovery has a massive time jump so it's hard to say on the last listing there but at the end chronologically

[tired hare]

xbox series S 1tb or xbox series x? im really confused

[short mantle]

Oh, I didn't scroll all the way down. The picture I posted is the recommended watch order. The chronological watch order is...

Star Trek: Enterprise (2151-2155)
Star Trek: Discovery (Season 1-3) (2256-3189)
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Season 1) (Before 2265)
Star Trek: The Original Series (2265-2269)
Star Trek: The Animated Series (2269-2270)
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (2273)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (2285)
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (2285)
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (2286)
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (2287)
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (2293)
Star Trek: The Next Generation (2364-2370)
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (2369-2375)
Star Trek: Voyager (2371-2378)
Star Trek: Generations (2371)
Star Trek: First Contact (2373)
Star Trek: Insurrection (2375)
Star Trek: Nemesis (2379)
Star Trek: Picard (2399-)
Star Trek: Lower Decks (2380-)
Star Trek: Prodigy (2383-)
Star Trek: Discovery (Season 4) (32nd century)
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Season 2) (Beyond 2265)

[mellow roost]

Yeah DS9 and Voyager have a...just...

If you are truly shooting for chronological order, you're gunna be skipping around a lot since it was A, filmed at roughly the same time, and B, filmed at roughly the same time in the actual show itself.

Lot of things happen concurrently.

[lunar tartan]

Damn that’s a good catch

[mellow roost]

Nice!

[molten briar]

Most of the series though it's standalone tbh

[short mantle]

The only ones I may skip are the animated stuff. I'm not really into animated or cartoons.

[mellow roost]

Oh for sure, you can watch both separately too, there's just...the little things where you'll go "didn't that already happen?" but it's like, nah, it didn't happen yet.

[molten briar]

Like you get references to other events but usually not required

[mellow roost]

That being said, I think VOY is probably the most underrated. Does some...questionable things to the lore though that people usually just ignore and throw away. XD

[molten briar]

Lower Decks is such an amazing meta take on star trek though lol

[molten briar]

Cause female captain

[mellow roost]

You're probably right. Janeway came off as a bit rough at first (not just because she was a woman but for people that hate women I can definitely see why it would make it even harder for them), but then over time she...more or less grew the same set that Sisko grew and then she was awesome.

Unhinged captains are my favorite.
