Then why are you here?

[crude coral]

im messing xbox is bae

[fallow moat]

I found online LOTR Conquest which was one of my fav games… basically LOTR Star Wars battlefront. But unfortunately, I need a 360 to play it. (Not back compat)

One day a pawn shop will have one…

[merry palm]

Looks so cute 🎉

[gray latch]

loved that game!

[merry palm]

Yeah! It was fun

I don't think I finished it.. I really should

[desert sonnet]

Servers are offline for that one but yea. It was LOTR Battlefront and it. Was. Awesome.

[barren tiger]

Lord Of The Rings Battlefront?

[merry palm]

Try not to bypass the filter. I hate having to be the bad guy over it lol

Especially when it's not a jerk doing it

[desert sonnet]

Yea it played like Star Wars Battlefront.

[merry palm]

Also happy bday! 🎉

[bleak robin]

Bowl’O’Rama drama

[desert sonnet]

Oh my god and slurpee Tetris thing is now available

[bleak robin]

I’m sorry slurpee what now?

[foggy skiff]

slurpee funko pops

[merry palm]

Whaaa

[desert sonnet]

...and it's sold out 🙃

This thing

[merry palm]

Huh that's cool

[bleak robin]

But does it work?

And does it run doom?

[merry palm]

Says it works

And everything runs doom

[barren tiger]

Thamk you

[bleak robin]

I’m sorry but I can’t not see e-waste

[barren tiger]

Lemme guess, exclusively on every 7Eleven shops

[merry palm]

Also.. please tell me they are going to fix the mobile bug that makes it weird to grab user id numbers off a profile 😂

[bleak robin]

It looks like those old old old game keychain things that only did the one basic game with just about the cheapest LCD and hardware you can physically get

[merry palm]

It's going behind the card and like ???? Pls stop 🤣

[mellow roost]

Happy birthday!

[bleak robin]

[foggy skiff]

happy unbirthday to me

[bleak robin]

It’s not supposed to do that

[merry palm]

So you tap the three lil dots , right? And it does the drop down behind the card. We can't get to it until we close the profile card

😂

[tired hare]

https://youtu.be/YdDYoCU2kv0?feature=shared

[merry palm]

It's so weird

[tired hare]

Nostalgia from 10 years ago. RIP Iwata

[bleak robin]

Huh. Well it’s probably fixed in the next update. I don’t have any issues :(

[merry palm]

Android

[desert sonnet]

That's not nice

[merry palm]

Arent you on iPhone?

Hopefully they fix it soon

[tired hare]

What are User IDs?

[barren tiger]

what they do? turn on developer mode?

[merry palm]

No it let's people look you up easier, basically.

It's not something that ever changes, like a name might

It's really useful for moderation

[barren tiger]

Thamk you

[tired hare]

Is it some specific identifier aligned to an individual based on their device or IP

[barren tiger]

I don’t see the option to copy other User IDs without developer mode on

[merry palm]

Their account

[sullen forum]

neither, it's their user ID

[merry palm]

Yes, you have to have dev mode on

[sullen forum]

As Tes said, it doesn't change, so it lets us look up someone regardless of what they change their name to, makes moderation easier when someone is constantly changing names

[tired hare]

Just wanted to know out of curiosity. Scared if that's a way I can be tracked and located.

[gray latch]

you can't

[tired hare]

What if the person just makes another account

[bleak robin]

Yes, but because they’re both on RN, they should basically be the same

[gray latch]

here's mine :)

[sullen forum]

Discord is NOT going to publicly have information available that lets anyone track where you are

[halcyon stratus]

* deliberately

[molten briar]

When you make an account, discord assigns it a unique number that's your user id

[tired hare]

Ok, but I'm hoping they stick to that claim. They don't with Facecrook

[bleak robin]

So usually a bug that appears on one should appear on the other

[sullen forum]

We don't allow multiple accounts in this server. If we find users who have multiple accounts, they either remove all but one or we remove them for them.

[gray latch]

hm, that reminds me

@tired hare is an alt!

[sullen forum]

Disagree. I can't go to any Facebook account I'm not friends with and see where they are at any given time.

[bleak robin]

There’s really no use for multiple accounts for most users tbh

For mods and staff it’s understandable, cause some people are… quite obsessive or insistent

[merry palm]

Unless you are using one account for work or something. Yeah

[bleak robin]

But a normal person doesn’t need more than one. Not to mention it’s confusing and a pain to keep track of

[molten briar]

Have so many before the view perms as x role feature was added lol

[merry palm]

It's also frustrating bc you need 2 phone numbers

[tired hare]

Yeah I don't get why people do that for something like Discord

[gray latch]

but you're doing it lol

[sullen forum]

Honestly, the only reason I have a second Discord account at all is for testing out bot stuff when I need to make changes, like making sure things behave like I expect regarding warns, mutes, etc.

[tired hare]

That too. It's pretty impossible.

[bleak robin]

I was about to say you technically don’t, but I think you might now for new ones

[tired hare]

How am I doing it?

[merry palm]

For verification and 2fa stuff yeah

[bleak robin]

That’s why I have one too. Banning yourself is hard

[merry palm]

I have an alt collecting dust from the old days lol

[bleak robin]

For 2FA yes, but not for servers anymore

[tired hare]

Reasonable, considering you are a admin, so it does work for you.

[gray latch]

good job, you just removed your alt lmao

[merry palm]

As if I would have an account without 2fa smh

[bleak robin]

You can manually verify members and that bypass the phone req. that’s why I have two accounts in Townhall

[halcyon stratus]

fully seperating interests. becuase the "server profile" feature isn't real isolation

[tired hare]

I have a similar issue too imo, but with Twitch

[bleak robin]

I mean yes, but for the majority of users it’s not that big a problem

[tired hare]

I have made probably 5 different accounts with the same or similar name of my previous username

[merry palm]

Back before view permissions.. we had to have alts to test things. Was a huge pain

But that was still not a regular user thing

[tired hare]

I just kept forgetting the password (because Twitch is really annoying with passwords)

[bleak robin]

“Pain”? What a weird way to spell “fun”

[merry palm]

Pain

[halcyon stratus]

i dont' understand why people are so dead set against using password managers

[merry palm]

It was a hot mess of annoying

[tired hare]

It logs in with a username, not an email.

[fallow moat]

If I wanna get the orange box, I might as well get it on PC.

[merry palm]

I need to move my stuff to a new password manager. I have 2 and I dislike them both lol

[bleak robin]

Because they have the potential to be dangerous. Someone gets access and boom. There’s all your passwords

[tired hare]

I mean you could just write them down in a book and keep it safe somewhere

[merry palm]

I'd lose the book

[tired hare]

That reminds me, I should change my passwords whenever I get a chance

[bleak robin]

There is no fool-proof method to keep something safe forever

Which I find mildly entertaining, in a weird way

[merry palm]

I swap mine every 6 months ish, just rotate them out as I get to them

[halcyon stratus]

if your book is able to generate 2fa codes, then sure, write them down
(also the book will need to be able to automatically insert a 45 character password directly in to my computer's clipboard so I don't have to type it)

[tired hare]

Yeah I need to do extra security for my Xbox account and my PlayStation

[merry palm]

In fairness, tacti.. people are trying to hack your accounts regularly lol

I don't have that kind of pressure

[tired hare]

Yeah it's a daily thing.

[molten briar]

Just look for it next to the bread in the bathroom!

[mortal badge]

Anyone got messages from these bots that promote stuff on t*mu on the Xbox messenger?

[tired hare]

Cyber theft

[fallow moat]

I keep getting message scams, just report them

[tired hare]

That's a thing? I usually get the other Adult ones

[lilac barn]

Ya, I got one a few days ago. Just reported it and deleted the convo

[mortal badge]

I just recently got one for a $15 Xbox gift card on that

[tired hare]

I have been avoiding multiplayer on my Xbox and it worked to my favor

[merry palm]

The trick to not getting messages is to not play with random people or play multiplayer 😂

[bleak robin]

No on ever tries to scam me

[tired hare]

Because of that I have not gotten those messages in years

[merry palm]

And I keep my account invisible to peeps on discord

[bleak robin]

[merry palm]

I am invisible lol

[mortal badge]

Yeah, the adult bots thing is probably gone, tho lol

[bleak robin]

I am not

[mortal badge]

and right before the T*mu ones, it was ones for a discord server or something

[halcyon stratus]

i think i've been 'appear offline' on my xbox for like 9 months lol

[bleak robin]

Which makes it funnier. All the scammers go for the quiet people

[fallow moat]

I probably should’ve gotten halo wars/Spartan assault before those got delisted whoops

[merry palm]

Minecraft ruined any love I had for multiplayer 😂

[bleak robin]

Am I intimidating?

[merry palm]

Nope

But I know you so. Bias

[molten briar]

Having met you I can say maybe...nope!

[merry palm]

Yep lol

[bleak robin]

Apparently I am to a lot of people

Do I just exude that FAAFO energy?

[fallow moat]

Bunch of games I shoulda gotten before they were delisted

[halcyon stratus]

Who is making this stuff?
Not in a single branch of the world is that "70s"

[bleak robin]

Cause one would think that a giant fluffy dragon would be cute

[merry palm]

Isn't that 80s?

[bleak robin]

Reminds me of a bowling alley we used to have here

[halcyon stratus]

yea, Memphis Milano is literally a definition of early 80s design

[bleak robin]

80’s roller rink vibes

[merry palm]

I was like...this reminds me of those new Xbox shirts

[tired hare]

that reminded me of this guy I knew who blocked me, made an alt on Xbox and just to bash me, and he would keep doing this

[halcyon stratus]

i refuse to pay $5 to discord for such a glaringly wrong named product

[merry palm]

Yeah

[tired hare]

Then he started bothering my friend on Discord a few months ago, when we thought we got rid of him. he is really annoying

[bleak robin]

This ain’t the first time

[bitter cape]

Used 12,000 points for gamepass ultimate for 1 month, and I'm currently unable to get online, what's going on

[tired hare]

He hasn't found my name on Discord, so I guess he could be losing his tricks

[merry palm]

K

We don't need outside drama in here, please. But I'm glad that resolved

[bleak robin]

cri
I’ve only been at work for 4 hours

[fallow moat]

I worked 9 hours today, you’re all good.

[bleak robin]

That’s the thing

[tired hare]

Here's some drama for today: Whiplash

[foggy skiff]

I had the day off today

[merry palm]

I am at work outside. So it's not too bad rn

[bleak robin]

I have a 9 hour shift today. (It’s supposed to be 10, but I have class)

[tired hare]

I never get days off, that's why I have been a bit of a recluse the past few weeks

i took off today

[bleak robin]

But it’s worse cause I don’t have a ton of stuff to do. I’m waiting on samples so I can run a battery of tests

[fallow moat]

Most I’ve done in a day is 11.

[tired hare]

Anyone here ever saw Whiplash. It was made by Blumhouse.

[foggy skiff]

took off? like a plane? 😛

[tired hare]

Pretty interesting film.

Kylie, I sent you a video

[mellow roost]

I saw it. 😄

[bleak robin]

I’m now going to pass my time by watching Spirited Away

[foggy skiff]

I remember one day, I had shifts at both of my jobs, 8am to 4pm and then 5pm to midnight

[tired hare]

what was it

[merry palm]

Good choice

[foggy skiff]

Drake fans reactions to the Kendrick diss songs

[raw skiff]

how can i make my xbox close the game all the way when i power it on and off

[tired hare]

not interested

[mellow roost]

Highlight the tile, press the hamburger button, and go to 'Quit.'

There's no other way to fully shut down games.

[tired hare]

Hey, here's a joke:

[raw skiff]

oh ok idk where my controller is that’s why

[merry palm]

[tired hare]

Siri, show me a joke.

[left adder]

[wintry stratus]

[halcyon ivy]

I wanna know if the core controller is any good but i had one and got drift but i cant find another controller like the one ive been using

[foggy skiff]

pillows are awesome

[merry palm]

I have the lunar shift controller and I'm pretty happy with it jt

Delete everything from the question mark on

Then it won't be this huge spaghetti situation

[left adder]

Okay

[foggy skiff]

mm, spaghetti

[left adder]

It was just the official controller lol

[merry palm]

Yeah that's totally fine

Just hoping for the shorter link lol

I thought the link would create a image

[merry palm]

See. Delete from question mark on

[left adder]

Look at that beauty

[merry palm]

But you don't have embed perms yet and won't have made an image

I have this one https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/lunar-shift-special-edition

[dapper bronze]

Hey I was thinking to buy an xbox one is it good console?

[merry palm]

Sure. But I wouldn't recommend getting one, personally

[dapper bronze]

Why?

Is it bad or something?

[merry palm]

Buying a last gen console that's not going to get many if any new games seems like a bad decision

[left adder]

No future games

If your getting it for older titles sure

[halcyon ivy]

How long have you had it for?

[merry palm]

Unless you are a collector, I suppose.
A series s is a better choice to maximize your gaming for now things and still be budget friendly

[left adder]

Series S always goes on sale aswell

[merry palm]

I've been here a while, so I've had perms for a long time

[halcyon ivy]

No i meant to controller

[dapper bronze]

I just want to play fortnite and any other games on it especially since I had an Xbox360

[merry palm]

Oh you responded to the comment about perms lol

Mmm not sure. A while?

Let me look

[left adder]

An Xbox one will do if that’s your intent

[narrow sail]

Is there anyone that might be able to help me out with my problem I just posted in #1240852821163642981

[bleak robin]

[merry palm]

About a year looks like?

[night rapids]

This is my current favourite, but I own a lot of them

[bleak robin]

Pro tip from a seasoned vet of the interwebs: if you ask your question, you’ll get an answer where you asked it

[left adder]

The controller looks like it taste good

[night rapids]

I'm a normal person and don't taste my controllers

[open chasm]

looks like lavender

[bleak robin]

I have a few controllers. My fave is the ghost one, but I also have the stellar shift and the Starfield one

[left adder]

Well I personally haven’t consumed a controller

[gray latch]

taro!

[night rapids]

I have the Stellar shift too, it's lovely

[open chasm]

i got four. Red one for me, blue one for my wife, and two black ones that came with both of our Xboxes lol

[gray latch]

yeah I love that one

[merry palm]

[molten briar]

Maybe you should add this into your reviews!

[merry palm]

Says she normal . Mmmmhm

[bleak robin]

This one

[left adder]

The other one looks tastier this one has more frosting

[bleak robin]

I like translucent stuff

[night rapids]

The next controller one I cover, I will

[left adder]

Mines the Gold and black controller

[bleak robin]

I don’t think I’ll ever use the Starfield one. It’s too pretty

[fallow moat]

My controller is white, green, black, silver-white buttons (design lab)

[left adder]

Starfield controller looks cool I didn’t really like the game tho

[fallow moat]

Matched the year 2 colors of a halo infinite professional team.

[merry palm]

Will you lick it?

For science

[left adder]

Ive never beaten a halo game

[fallow moat]

What!!! Get on em!

[merry palm]

I've never played one

😂

[left adder]

I got bored in CE

[merry palm]

I turned on infinite at some point and didn't do much but run around a bit and then turn it off

Pls make halo farming sim, ty

[fallow moat]

Halo 5: Guardians is my last main campaign to beat on legendary solo but holy moly it feels like a gauntlet

[left adder]

My favorite “Xbox exclusive” was Left 4 dead 2

[bleak robin]

CE is meh, but Halo 2, ODST, and 3 are pog

(I haven’t played Reach yet, so I can’t have an opinion)

[fallow moat]

CE was tough too

[bleak robin]

Also apparently my finger is just orange now

[merry palm]

Congratulations

Now to dye the others in rainbow colors for pride

[bleak robin]

We have chemicals at work that will stain orange, but afaik I never touched them without gloves

It looks like I just stuck my finger in it

[merry palm]

Whoops

Well..lean into it ig

[left adder]

I got to this like this ring dome area then never touched CE again

[merry palm]

Roygbiv it

[bleak robin]

I’m so confused right now

[fallow moat]

I have ran through all 8 mainline campaigns and my fav is probably infinite.

[shut lagoon]

Never played much of the campaign but I actually enjoyed Reach

[fallow moat]

That was good too.

[bleak robin]

I was super disappointed by infinite cause they hyped it up to have so much content and it just… didn’t

[left adder]

Halo 2 looks cool

[barren tiger]

What games would I be getting on my birthday

…on my limited 512 gig Series S?

[open chasm]

It was definitely a tragedy.

Especially since Infinite easily has the best gameplay in the series IMO.

[wintry stratus]

[distant prism]

Do you guys think Xbox/ ea will let college football 25 out on gamepass?

[shut lagoon]

Highly doubt it

[distant prism]

I hope it’s not a madden clone I wanna buy it so bad

[shut lagoon]

I hope its NCAA Football 13 remastered

with a new roster

[naive bison]

It will prob come out on ea play pro (not part of any gamepass tier). EA play pro is only available on pc afaik

[distant prism]

Im not even the hugest college football fan but i love football and am tired off crappy maddens year after year

[shut lagoon]

Same

[versed swan]

xbox can't just point at a game and go "that one" and it suddenly launches day one on gamepass

it will probably join the ea play library 8 - 12 months after launch

[long maple]

EA Play on console gets 5/10 hour trials before the game releases. but then you have to wait 9-12 months till the full game drops into their Vault. but yeah Madden 25 and College Football are gonna be there I believe

[distant prism]

I’m not saying day one I’m saying eventually in the future

[shut lagoon]

Is the next Madden going to be Madden 25? cause there already was a Madden 25 for their 25th anniversary

[versed swan]

as for playing similar to madden... i mean, idk if college football and nfl have different rules but i imagine they will both play similar yes

[distant prism]

I honestly haven’t bought a madden since 20

[long maple]

I always play the Trials because you can still unlock achievements

yeah they announced it today. if you buy a certain version you get both games.

[shut lagoon]

Oh sick

[south steeple]

Does anybody happen to know anything about a phone case?

[distant prism]

Yea that mvp bundle is a waste imo

[versed swan]

yeah I've been wondering about that. they'll probably do another madden 25 but it would be really funny if they did whatever the missing year was back then

[shut lagoon]

Called it Madden 16 or w/e

[long maple]

"The MVP Edition also offers three-day early access for both titles, so fans can play College Football 25 on July 16 and Madden 25 on Aug. 13 before it comes out later in the summer."

[shut lagoon]

thatd be funny

[versed swan]

ah yeah college football got a full reveal by now didn't it?

[distant prism]

Honestly who cares about playing madden 25 early it’s gonna be the same crap they push out every year, save urself 50 bucks

[shut lagoon]

Yeah I'm def more excited for cf25

[distant prism]

Real

[shut lagoon]

I'm only playing madden for the campaign and franchise modes so I'm still on 21

[long maple]

I am just giving the info, usually play for couple hours in the Trials. which usually drop a week before release date

[distant prism]

No I’m not arguing with u I’m just saying

Yea I just want a good campaign

[long maple]

I never really bothered with NFL, being from UK I was more into FIFA but got bored with that, just too many games out these days I enjoy

[shut lagoon]

They won't make the games better if everyone keeps buying them in the current conditions

[fallow moat]

I never got into sports games until wwe 2k14

[distant prism]

I hope they make road to glory fun

Honestly I’m excited for the new assasins creed game that is coming out as well

[shut lagoon]

The only sport I really mess w/ is football. I did watch Ted Lasso though that was a good show

[fallow moat]

So yeah I’m big into wrestling I guess

[long maple]

yeah SW Outlaws and AC for me aswell. but will just sign up for Ubi+

[shut lagoon]

WWE vs AEW?

[fallow moat]

Imagine that becomes a new game title?

[shut lagoon]

nope I'm asking

oh i c

[trail harness]

going to import a fumo model into a gmod server via pac then apply it to headcrabs so it looks like a bunch of fumos are attacking people

[night rapids]

Game or actual promotion?

[versed swan]

something i like youtube lets me do is stop a channel from being reccomended to me, lets me filter out bad actors, but one huge peeve i have is the fact it doesn't transfer to the tv version of youtube, which doesn't let you add stuff to the "do not reccomend" filter period

[merry palm]

Big same

[versed swan]

so i keep getting reccomended this one trashy hateful video from a creator i used to watch specifically on the tv app 😒

[merry palm]

Better filters for the TV yt app would be phenomenal

They put yt kids on there but the kids can just go to guest and get to a regular account.

Drives me bonkers

[versed swan]

that too, i also don't think that pausing search/watch history even works

I'll sometimes hop on guest account to watch something without getting similar stuff reccomended on my main account only to have to manually clear search and watch history on the guest account every time (because that's tracked on there for some reason?)

[merry palm]

I wonder what the problem is tbh. Because it seems simple which means it isn't 😂

[bleak robin]

I love accidentally almost setting things on fire :3

Turns out JB Weld is a very exothermic reaction when you’re mixing not insignificant amounts of it

[naive bison]

Damn. I hope everything is okay

[bleak robin]

Turns out I was right. The end of the wood stir stick I was using was, in fact, burning

Oh I’m fine. I was just confused why there were fumes coming from the small cup I was using. I’ve got it in the hood while I wait for it to stop cooking. Literally

Believe you me, I wouldn’t make it as an engineer if I couldn’t handle dangerous situations

[merry palm]

This is less comforting than you think, knowing several engineers 😂

[bleak robin]

My point exactly

If it puts it in perspective, I specifically am the reason we have to wear hard hats for a specific part of our process

[bleak robin]

Pretty much how it goes when I’m involved

[dark sparrow]

I have too much heavy stuff

Can't even use it because I ain't a high enough level

[tired hare]

Hii

I also have a blunderbuss now, even though I have zero ammo to actually use it

I'm honestly amazed Cyberpunk could run any version at all on One tbh. Its a pretty demanding game.

[coarse valley]

Anyone know how to fix the “disconnected from Xbox live” problem with Xbox 360 digital games

[ripe grotto]

Sale going on for Assassin’s Creed

What game is the best to start off with?

[silk mountain]

Maybe odyssey

[ripe grotto]

Is the game like open world or what?

[silk mountain]

Yeah basically

[ripe grotto]

Cool I’ll get it

[fluid loom]

i hate odyssey

[silk mountain]

lol

[ripe grotto]

Bruh what

[fluid loom]

it's long and void

[merry palm]

i liked origins better ,personally

[foggy skiff]

dragon age origins

[silk mountain]

I thought odyssey had a better loot system and liked the Greek world in odyssey more

[ripe grotto]

Gah I only have enough for one

[short mantle]

Origins and Odyssey are my favorites in the series. I'm really excited about Shadows. Playing as Yasuke is going to be awesome!

[fluid loom]

odyssey is on game pass though

[silk mountain]

Do you prefer Greece or Arabian type experience

[ripe grotto]

Me?

[foggy skiff]

can we call you lining?

[fluid loom]

1- revelations 2-black flag 3- rogue 4-mirage

[silk mountain]

I couldn’t stand black flag so clunky feeling

[ripe grotto]

What’s the best one to start out with? I’m new to the franchise

[short mantle]

The first one

[ripe grotto]

I can’t play the first one

[fluid loom]

hardest question to answer there are so many and people have very different tastes

[short mantle]

Its bc and is on sale for $5

[ripe grotto]

No I won’t be able to save

I can’t save in any 360 games I told yall

[fluid loom]

valhalla odyssey and origins r on game pass so pass on these

[merry palm]

i started with origins

[fiery python]

Then start with the Ezio Collection

[ripe grotto]

I have core

[short mantle]

How am I supposed to know that? Lol

[merry palm]

felt it was a good beginner one tbh

[short mantle]

Origins is the first rpg out of the series. That is a good starting point.

[merry palm]

if you had never touched one, starting at the first one might be rough, yk? for mechanics

[fiery python]

But if you want to start with the more modern ones, then Origins > Odyssey > Valhalla.

Or you could play Mirage which is a modern one, but using the non-RPG mechanics closer to the original games.

[silk mountain]

Origins is pretty simple, it’s not bad

[ripe grotto]

Which one is better Deluxe or golden?

[fiery python]

Gold edition generally gives you everything, but check the contents to see if you care about the extras

[fluid loom]

anyone played the entire AC ? i still have valhalla syndicate origins

[short mantle]

Other than the platformers, I've played them all.

[fiery python]

I've played all the mainline games, but not finished them all.

I haven't played the VR title or the mobile stuff.

[ripe grotto]

Yknow what nvm im going to bed

[fluid loom]

they're quite insufferable

[crisp sentinel]

Will Genshin will ever come to Xbox? I just get myself a used PS4 for sole reason of playing Genshin hehe
Wish can play it in xbox

[fiery python]

No one knows

[crisp sentinel]

😦

[grand dagger]

Anyone play warzone??

[ripe grotto]

We don’t need Genshin on Xbox it needs to stay pure

[short mantle]

I don't think they will have any problems reaching $5B. I wouldn’t be surprised if they exceeded it.

[merry palm]

I love genshin

[ripe grotto]

It can stay on Pc

[crisp sentinel]

Xbox need more good free to play games other than Warzone and Fortnite I think

[merry palm]

its already beyond pc

lol

[ripe grotto]

Pc players need games :))

[short mantle]

It's also on PS and mobile. So much for being “pure.”

[merry palm]

pc players typically have may more games than consoles...

[ripe grotto]

True

[fluid loom]

pc players rn: playing ghost of tsushima with CJ mod

[crisp sentinel]

Wish they will add StarCraft II on Xbox someday.

You know...

Since acquisition of Blizzard, also since Microsoft have do pretty good job with RTS controls on Console (Age of Empires 4)

[sage ice]

dont hold your breath

[merry palm]

new starcraft???

[short mantle]

I wouldn't mind playing WoW on console. The devs have said they would want to bring it console if given the chance.

[foggy skiff]

all those keybinds though

[merry palm]

i think if they could do it where the pc players and the console players were segregated.. maybe.

but as it is, it would be not great to suddenly chunk in console players

[short mantle]

They said they've had discussions with Xbox about porting it to console. They must have a plan to overcome all of the keybindings.

https://dotesports.com/wow/news/wow-devs-optimistic-mmo-will-land-on-xbox-thanks-to-microsoft-acquisition

[merry palm]

rhinne has talked about it, i believe thats who it was, and has a better understanding of the possible issues

i'd be more concerned with things like game balancing and economy tbh

[fiery python]

My concern is how much they would need to simplify the game and mechanics, which would impact the PC version.

[odd galleon]

So, I'm trying to understand how WoW can go on Xbox....

[merry palm]

if they could have the worlds totally seperate, it might be ok? idk

like not touching pc players

[fiery python]

Also while I see the benefits of splitting PC and console playerbase, I wouldn't want to start again. I'd want my current account and characters accessible.

[odd galleon]

Like, there's so many buttons just for the keyboard and such. How are they going to transfer it to Xbox?

[merry palm]

yeah

[mellow marsh]

Someone high up at Microsoft needs sued and fired 🙏

[sage ice]

false

[fiery python]

That would be even more complicated, because then they'd have to build two different types of mechanics for the different playerbases.

[mellow marsh]

Whoever at Microsoft HQ decided the way to go about username bans was to just suspend the account without warning rather than getting a name change and having to change your gamertag is very very braindead

[merry palm]

yeah, but then it wouldnt mess up the current system and make everyone mad about that

i dont see a win in any scenarios of it tbh

[short mantle]

I don't know the first thing about game development, but other MMO’s have successfully ported their games from PC to consoles.

[fiery python]

But it would mess up and slow down development - and increase costs

[weary solar]

[merry palm]

you would have to massively change the pc version for it to match a console version, at this point. right?

its been around for ages

[odd galleon]

I mean.... how does FF14 do it?

[merry palm]

thats newer

add 10 years lol

[fluid loom]

Isn't 14 enough

[odd galleon]

Lol nope.

For a game like WoW? Nope

[merry palm]

there would have to be a bunch of simplification.

and then how to change it so its even with pc

and not make everyone angry at the same time

[odd galleon]

So, not going to happen. lol

[merry palm]

it will be interesting to see them try ?

[fiery python]

I have 22 I'm actively using right now - not counting all the menu options like bags, dungeon finder etc - and I'm only lvl 21

[short mantle]

tbh, none of us really know. The devs think it's possible. However, Xbox would have to greenlight it, and I don't think it's a high priority at the moment.

I just think it would be cool. I have a gaming PC, but I mainly use it to browse the web, chat on Discord, and do schoolwork. I still prefer playing on consoles.

[foggy skiff]

so just a PC then 😛

[short mantle]

Basically

The lack of Xbox achievement also plays a role. 🙃

[foggy skiff]

ofc

[odd galleon]

Hmmm.. do I want to buy all of the DLC for Minecraft Dungeons...

[red ember]

Howdy gamers

[foggy skiff]

[foggy skiff]

pfft, let him buy what he wants

[merry palm]

i liked the game tbh

[ripe grotto]

Fair

I liked minecraft story mode yet it’s not able to buy now

I had it as a disc a long time ago and would like it on my series S

[odd galleon]

Surprised that Minecraft didn't get a Series X upgrade yet

[merry palm]

its not that

it cant be sold at all until mojang releases it iirc

its not on any game store

[short mantle]

It did. They added 4K support for the X and S.

[merry palm]

the story mode*

[fiery python]

It can't be sold because Telltale went bust.

[merry palm]

yep

[odd galleon]

There's a Minecraft story mode?

Huh... interesting

[merry palm]

it was interesting yeah

[fiery python]

There's two of them.

[merry palm]

we also lost tales from the borderlands 😢

[fiery python]

Still the best Borderlands game to be released.

2K's shameless cash-in sucked.

[merry palm]

i liked the others a lot. but it had its special flair

hmmm looks like i can get it on humble still

thats so weird lol

[fiery python]

https://tenor.com/view/borderlands-handsome-jack-fingerguns-pshew-hologram-gif-5966277

[merry palm]

i wonder how that works out lol

cant get it on steam directly but i can get it on another site to redeem on steam.

[fiery python]

I had been trying to re-download Minecraft Story Mode season 2 on PC for a looooong time, because my library never works on PC and it didn't show up from a search in the store.

I'd given up hope after trying on and off for a couple of years.

But I tried again recently and the only way I managed to do it was by searching online and I found an article on Windows Central which included a link to the store page for it.

I never got round to finishing that one on PC, so need to get that done in case I lose the install again.

[merry palm]

i might have to find some funds to get this borderlands game. i own all the others

i need all of them /s

[short mantle]

I've completed most of Telltale’s games, including PC versions. The only ones I haven't played are Sam & Max, Back to the Future, and Wallace & Gromit.

[fiery python]

The Back to the Future game is great

I'm gutted you can no longer get the Wallace and Gromit games on Xbox. I own them on Steam, but would like the achievements.

[short mantle]

They also made the CSI games. You should still be available to find physical versions, but I wouldn’t be surprised if people charge a lot for them.

[past girder]

Could I ask big favou

[fiery python]

Make sure it doesn't break any of the #rules before you ask.

[past girder]

I’m a rule breaker

[fiery python]

You never did have the high ground.

[short mantle]

lmao

That's going to go over a lot of people's heads.

[foggy skiff]

2, 2 liters and 2 small bread stick box’s for 52 dollars is insane

[fiery python]

It's overpriced, but it's not a scam. You choose to order it and you get what you ordered.

[weak kiln]

Ya but what it is is like prob a small team party snack for half each work day

[zinc crag]

[supple rampart]

I like making my own pizzas with flat bread

and its way healthier only around 500 calories for the whole pizza

[unborn tartan]

Pizza my fav

[ripe grotto]

Little Caesars is the best pizza

Plus the Crazy bread mmmm 😋

[limpid flicker]

Which one is missing from your library? You said that Tales from the Borderlands can't be purchased on Steam, but... but... I can see it up for purchase so... not that one?

[foggy skiff]

best pizza, imo, is from Crispelli's

currently, that is

nothing will ever top Bronx Pizza in San Diego

[ripe grotto]

Cici’s Pizza is good cuz you don’t have to talk to people about pizza

[limpid flicker]

I hate how if you need the doctor in the UK you have to call them at 8 AM sharp and it's basically a race.

[fiery python]

Sorry Coffee, not sure when you sent the friend request on PSN, but only just seen it now. I've not been on for a while.

[ripe grotto]

Um why is there a race?

[fiery python]

Limited number of last minute appointments available that day.

[ripe grotto]

Ah

[fiery python]

https://s3.amazonaws.com/lowres.cartoonstock.com/medical-doctor_s_waiting_room-receptionist-waiting_room_reception-reception-receptionists-dpan1441_low.jpg

[short mantle]

I'm sure the free health care plays a role, too. Anyone can request a doctor's appointment.

[fiery python]

It's not so much it being free, it's more a lack of sufficient funding being assigned.

[ripe grotto]

Uk smh

[fiery python]

There are things they could do to improve it.

[limpid flicker]

Because there are limited numbers of appointments available, like Rhinne said. I could book one in advance, but that will be quite a few days out and I think I should get this dealt with ASAP. Also, I would agree with Rhinne entirely.

SMH at this being the tone of the discussion. I just thought I'd share my current thought...

[fiery python]

But I'll take a wait for an appointment over passing on medical care because I can't afford the deductible, or going without insulin because my insurance screws me over.

[short mantle]

I'm still waiting to hear back from neurosurgery regarding my back and neck. They took MRIs 3 weeks ago. 😒

[limpid flicker]

Has whaver is wrong been getting worse lately?

[short mantle]

Yeah, my neck and my sciatica.

[limpid flicker]

That must be miserable. I only know what it is like to suffer neck pain as a result of bad posture or sleeping. For it to be constant, that sounds very unpleasant.

[fickle yarrow]

spent 16 hours downloading fh4 on my pc using gamepass and yesterday after coming back from a 5 hour long trip the game was on 7 gigs and downloading at 0 b/s then i leave it on overnight for 11 hours and then its litteraly at 0 bytes downloaded

like bro what is going on

[limpid flicker]

That's very frustrating. I can't imagine what's going on.

[idle spear]

They make everyone use the website here now unless you make an excuse up about internet not working which is usually my choice because using the website they just send you emails back instead of actually getting an appointment.

[fickle yarrow]

im using game pass ultimate if that helps

[limpid flicker]

There's #1091756150644555946 if you wanna ask for help with that.

[fiery python]

That makes no difference.

[limpid flicker]

Screw that, I hate using the website. I know that's weirdly contradictory of me to not want the most modern option but nah when it comes to medicine Imma take that personal touch.

[fickle yarrow]

gonna try restarting the download

[fiery python]

If it's not an urgent appointment then I'd rather use the website. But if I need to get in asap then I'll call first thing.

[idle spear]

Yeah I’m not a fan of it either.

[fiery python]

I'd rather not have to tell the doctor's receptionist what I need to see the doctor for.

'What's it regarding?'

A strong case of nunya.

[limpid flicker]

XD

I have on rare occasions said "I'd rather only discuss that with the doctor." and they respected that.

I think they understand, some things are just like that.

[fiery python]

My old doctors wouldn't accept that if I wanted a same day appointment.

'We need to triage appointments and I can't assess the urgency if you don't tell me what's wrong'.

The gossippy old battleaxe with zero regard for HIPAA is what's wrong. Book me in!

Or whatever the UK equivalent to HIPAA is. I use that term too often at work and forget it's mainly a US thing.

[limpid flicker]

I am glad I have doctor with receptionists who will listen to polite yet firm requests.

[fallow moat]

15 years of Minecraft, that’s wild

[fiery python]

I remember back in the days when it was still 'cave game'.

[tidal topaz]

The only question receptionists ask here is if it's a follow up or for something new. Everything else is discussed with your GP

[limpid flicker]

I'm sorry, I came off hold white typing that last message. I was going to say that I still remember when it was the weird new indie game that you had to discover via friends, and it wasn't the largest thing in the world.

"Please visit the link in the text message I'm about to send you, and upload a photo of the area."

[tidal topaz]

That's a big red flag these days

[limpid flicker]

From the doctor?

[tidal topaz]

From anyone lol

[limpid flicker]

Ya know what, if anyone wants pictures of this:

1. They need help more than I do, and
2. Sure, why would I care?

[fiery python]

Ghost of Tsushima looks stunning on PC. Got it fully maxed out, 4K, solid 120fps with no frame generation enabled.

[limpid flicker]

Nice. I'm sometimes tempted to get a better monitor, but I have no idea if my modest GPU can push that hard.

[fiery python]

I have my PC hooked up to my TV because it's much better than my monitor.

[limpid flicker]

I have a 4060, and that's very much a "middling" GPU, right?

[fallow moat]

I might pick up Wuthering Waves… open world action role-playing game, releases Wednesday

[idle spear]

Nixxes showing everyone else how it’s done as usual

[tidal topaz]

I was tempted to get a second curved monitor, the same as the one I have now, but I chickened out of it

[fiery python]

I wouldn't say middling. Middle of this generation of GPUs perhaps, but still on the higher end overall.

[limpid flicker]

True enough. I've really yet to run anything that takes this PC for a run.

I've run benchmarks to make sure of thermal stability, but that's it.

[fiery python]

PC gaming is doomed any way when we have articles like this - https://preview.redd.it/h8zmr0ufcl0d1.jpeg?width=910&auto=webp&s=82e381c2ca9143e43171ba0511071c1040a21e74

[limpid flicker]

Based on my how my old 770 lasted... I'd guess at it still being some level of good in 2034.
Or in our living room PC we have a 1050Ti which is still surprisingly capable. You can't expect max setting modern games, but you can run things from only a few years ago very nicely thank you.

My tastes in gaming don't tend towards "OMG you can see every bead of sweat on that Marine's face", though.

[tidal topaz]

My 1660ti is at about the level of your 1050ti. As long as you don't care about graphics, you can run pretty much everything

[hollow hawk]

"yeah it's aight"

[limpid flicker]

On the PC I play things I can only or most easily get on PC.

[silk mountain]

1660ti is a bit better than a 1050

[fallow moat]

How long can a 3060 last?

[limpid flicker]

Exception: If I can most easily get it on system with no achievements (3DS, Switch, etc) but the PC is the only version with achievements, then I play that version.
Because dopamine go brrrrr haha

[foggy skiff]

meanwhile, I have a 7800XT

[hollow hawk]

I'm on console when I can, else it's the PC for what else I have lying around in EG or whatnot
I've been messing around with running a Minecraft Java server and I do wish Minecraft on Xbox could connect to 3rd party servers without weird workarounds so I could test Geyser implementations without running Bedrock in a hacky way on my Linux box

[tidal topaz]

PC is all I have so if it's not on PC, I ain't playing it

[limpid flicker]

Speaking of "playing because Achievements" -- y'all see the Etrian Odyssey series (DS / 3DS) has started to come out on PC?
Knowing this crowd I'm the only one who cares... 🥲

[foggy skiff]

or the only one who's heard of it

[fiery python]

I've heard of it, but never played it.

[limber shadow]

hola

[limpid flicker]

Thank you for proving Coffee wrong, Rhinne. 🙇

[limber shadow]

yeah so for some odd reason

[foggy skiff]

yes, because Coffee is always wrong

[limber shadow]

my xbox game pass is expired and when i tried to fix it it doesnt allow me to on the same card i used

by any chance, does anyone know the fix?

[foggy skiff]

contact support

[limpid flicker]

That is odd. No reason I know why you can't resubscribe on the same card.

[hollow hawk]

Hey! One less 3DS title lost to time

[fiery python]

There could be a few reasons why a payment method can't be used, but we'd only be speculating at possible causes here. You'd need to ask Support for a definite reason. https://support.xbox.com/contact-us/xboxdiscord

[tired hare]

Heller

Anyone play attack on titan

[fiery python]

I have played it.

But I don't currently.

[tired hare]

I see

It's a violent game or is it just rumors

[fiery python]

It's big giants eating people and getting slashed with swords.

[limpid flicker]

Exactly! they did it oddly, but nicely. You can basically "slide over" the touch screen onto the right 40% of the screen, and use either gamepad controls (clunky) or mouse (better) for what it did there.

[tired hare]

Yer

Do you agree the Xbox can be used as a multi media player

[fiery python]

Yes

[limber carbon]

Yes.

[fiery python]

It's designed for that purpose, same as PS5

[limpid flicker]

It absolutely can. Always has been good at that for the time, since the first XBOX.

[tired hare]

I'm using mine to watch Kodi

[idle spear]

Main issue I noticed with the 770 was the 2GB vram became not enough by around 2015 and didn't support DX12 fully. The 4GB model might have held up a little better though

[tired hare]

Ps5 sdly can't play Blu-ray

[hollow hawk]

wdym?

[limpid flicker]

That computer suffered a PSU failure and then bad RAM so I decided "Time for a scratch build."

[idle spear]

Ah yeah the PSU in my old one died recently as well, had to get another one

[hollow hawk]

the ability to play blu-ray media is pretty essential because afaik PS5 game discs themselves are blu-ray

[limber carbon]

Blu-ray is not a definition if a device is a multi-media playable device.

[tired hare]

I mean disc

[idle spear]

One good thing about the 700 series is it supports Windows XP all the way up to WIndows 10 which is nice

[limber carbon]

Yeah, but a PS5 is still a multi-media device, nonetheless.

[tired hare]

Oh good

Do you use Kodi ?

[limpid flicker]

This one died with a sudden loud bang, and it really surprised me. Regardless of that, sometimes I think about replacing the bad RAM, but I've spent enough money fixing an old computer, you know?
What would I even do with it? I think it's not as good as the other computers I have around...

[idle spear]

ow yeah it can make sense

DDR3 isn't that cheap still I don't think

[hollow hawk]

it was dirt cheap for me iirc
My desktop rocks 32GBs of DDR3

[fiery python]

I've got 64GB of DDR5 in mine currently.

I'm all set for a while and may wait for the 60XX cards to upgrade. But that depends on how many other parts I'll need to replace to accommodate a 60XX card. With the way they're going I may need a new PSU and bigger case.

[silk mountain]

60XX is a long ways away no?

[idle spear]

I’ve been using 32GB since 2020 which was a good future proof back then

[fiery python]

Well, not sure I'd say long. But 50XX will be next.

[silk mountain]

Yeah I'm still gaming on console only. But soon it will probably be worth it for me to get a PC for better performance

[idle spear]

Usually every 2 years with Nvidia and it’s almost time for a 5090 by the end of the year

[fiery python]

I have a 4090 currently.

[idle spear]

60XX is at least 2.5 years away

[silk mountain]

I want to build a mini-pc, maybe

[idle spear]

ITX is pretty expensive now but is possible

Cards these days are so big you also can't always get the best ones to fit anymore

[vocal gorge]

Depending on pricing I might look at getting the RTX 5090 but failing that I may stick with AMD and look at either the RX 8000 or 9000 series for a GPU upgrade. On the CPU side I think I'll be fine for some time with the 7950X3D but still plan to get at least 3 years (from time of purchase) out of it before I look at upgrading that. 32GB still isn't really tested if all you do is game and browse the internet like I do so that will probably stay as is for a while yet for me.
Just don't make the same mistake I did last year and upgrade everything within the space of 4 months. That was expensive 😄

[silk mountain]

Also supposedly 1440p 144hz monitors can be found as the best deals, and can have pretty good HDR

[idle spear]

If you have the cash I would go with 5090 for the better feature set

[vocal gorge]

HDR on Windows is pretty iffy I'd recommend looking at OLED monitors or those with DisplayHDR1000 spec but neither of those will be cheap

[vocal gorge]

yeah, though jsut like last time I am keeping my plans wide open until both Nvidia and AMD release GPUs. Nvidia may have the upper hand on ray tracing and performance with their monster x090 SKU but that does come at a hefty cost. Fully expecting the 5090 to be no different

[idle spear]

Yeah, I think 4070 Super is the best value at the moment

[old swift]

hello how to enable samsung cloud gaming please someone tell me

[idle spear]

Nvidia feature set and similar price to 7800XT

I do wonder if next gen Nvidia will be more like a pascal generation. They usually have a good and meh cycle.

[limpid flicker]

I just fear to see the prices next generation.

A mid-range card costing £300 is a little unpalatable to me.

[idle spear]

They had to bring the prices down a bit because they over estimated so not sure what it will be

I remember 20XX series was after the first mining boom which saw price increases and then 30XX was not as bad

[limpid flicker]

Yeah IDK, maybe this is the new normal and I'm just not used to it. 😫

[idle spear]

All reasons we still need AMD in the race to keep things competitive

[fiery python]

It's so strange earning PlayStation trophies on PC.

Shame it shares the list with the game on PS, but it's a nice start. I haven't unlock any of the trophies in this game on PS5 any way, only a couple in the PS4 version, so it's a fresh list for me.

[idle spear]

I guess they will start adding these trophies to older games on there over time

If they put the trophies on Zero dawn and GOW 2018 will be interesting to see if those share the same lists with PS4 or a new list

[fiery python]

It would be nice if they go back and patch those older titles, but not sure they will. They'd have the whole situation with PSN accounts again and would need to delist the game in 100+ countries because they can't use all functionality.

I can see them including it in all future titles now though. I'd prefer separate trophy lists, but we'll see how that goes.

[idle spear]

If they could find a way to make it optional then may be possible but if they do that idk

[limpid flicker]

Or they could make it optional to add a PSN account to the old ones. Too slow, Sol. Too slow.

[fiery python]

I'd definitely want to play Spider-Man 2 again, for example, with it all maxed out on PC. But if it shares the trophy list then I wouldn't be able to earn new ones - except Steam achievements.

[fiery python]

It's optional in Helldivers, but still delisted in 170 countries.

They would need to release a separate version in those countries where PSN isn't available to avoid people seeing the options and then doing things like using VPNs to create accounts.

Or somehow try and region lock it in-game. But either way, it would complicate things.

[idle spear]

I wonder if the same thing happened with games for windows live games back then on steam. Kind of a similar idea but I can't remember if it was restricted to only some countries.

[limpid flicker]

I've put this idea forward before, but the idea of "prestiging" your Tropes / Achievements seems like a fun one. You'd need to earn 100% first, and then you could earn additional stacks. The game would then show as "Spider-Man 2: 20% (1 Prestige)" or something.

[fiery python]

That would be a fun idea.

[limpid flicker]

I think the "prestige" term was from CoD, right?

I've never played those, but I'm 99% certain they had that concept of "reset your level and earn more for bragging rights".

[fiery python]

It's used in a lot of games, but not sure if CoD was first or not. It's where I heard it used first myself though.

[vestal ore]

is there much difference from a 4080

[idle spear]

COD4 was the first I remember that system being in. I guess it's kind of like new game plus idea

[limpid flicker]

You know what would be very funny and silly though? Someone creating a novelty profile where they have 1,000,000 GS all from one game XD

[fiery python]

Never used one. I'm sure there will be plenty of comparisons you can look up though.

[fiery python]

And it's Horse Racing 2016

[vestal ore]

btw why cant i see when u ping me

[fiery python]

Because I'm not pinging you.

[vestal ore]

u are replying

[fiery python]

And I disable the ping.

[vestal ore]

oh ok.

[tired hare]

Hello

Sorry I keep saying hello I have short memory

[limpid flicker]

When there's a reply, if there's an @ sign before the person's name the reply is "at" then that means a ping. If not, there's no ping. Look closely at some replies.

[vestal ore]

why is my camera speed so fast in tales of arise

[fiery python]

This really is a gorgeous looking game.

Howdy

[fiery python]

Hi

[dark yoke]

Wow that looks amazing 👌

[open chasm]

Rhinne, I actually have the most serious question ever. It's not another ridiculous What If, and I think you might have the perfect answer for it.

When will Horse Racing 2016's sequel arrive?

[fiery python]

Well, I can't find any reference to Horse Racing on the developers website, so probably never.

[open chasm]

Treachery.

[fiery python]

They were still releasing games as recent as earlier this year though, so you could play Extreme Bike Racing instead - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2574870/Extreme_Bike_Racing/

Steam

Extreme Bike Racing

Extreme Bike Racing is ultimate 3D Bike Racing game for all age group. There are 3 stages with 3 challenges in every stage in which player has to face different hurdles and difficulties to complete that challenge.

Hm, I do like some BMX

[fluid loom]

there was a good bikes game on ps3 idk its name

[idle spear]

You could use bikes in Motorstorm

[terse arrow]

Where would I ask for controller design questions!

[fiery python]

Here

[north kestrel]

How does cloud gaming on my intel xe graphics pc with intel i5 manage to generate better graphics then my series s and x 💀

[kind spear]

hi does anybody knows if Skylanders from Xbox 360 playable on Xbox Series X ?

[fiery python]

No, it isn't.

[north kestrel]

@fiery python there pfp....

[fiery python]

The USB devices needed for the figures isn't compatible with XB1 or Series.

[fiery python]

What about it?

[kind spear]

Damn, is there a way I could one for Series ?

[north kestrel]

isn't it considered NSFW content?

[fiery python]

No

[fiery python]

Refresh your client.

[north kestrel]

nvm he changed it

[kind spear]

Is it true that a new skylander game is comming out in Sep ?

[north kestrel]

@fiery python can u answer this?

[fiery python]

Don't bypass the filter, Timmy

[mint sparrow]

my fault just tryna say your a hard worker

[fiery python]

Nope. Xbox cloud gaming uses Series X hardware, with games running the Series S profile, so it shouldn't look any different.

[north kestrel]

bro @fiery python this guys typing with 3 alts rn

[mint sparrow]

see you on here 24/7

[north kestrel]

ohh

[fiery python]

Please stop tagging me, Jake

[north kestrel]

[mint sparrow]

bro.

[fiery python]

Also Timmy, I strongly advise you change your profile bio. I fail to see what's funny about pretending you're a terrorist, but that's the kind of thing that will get you banned.

[mint sparrow]

your a smart guy so alr

that better??

[fiery python]

I guess so.

[mint sparrow]

ty for the advice

[fiery python]

I won't bother getting into the inaccuracies of could/couldn't care less.

[mint sparrow]

i just dont mess with pronouns cuz i kinda dont get them

[frank marten]

Hello

[mint sparrow]

are you AI rhinne, your big words suggest your either tryna be as professional on job as possible or your ai

[fiery python]

I paid attention in English class and I write all day for work, so this is just standard for me.

[mint sparrow]

smart guy as i said

but you keep doing your thing, ima go TO english class lol

first perioid in 45 mins for english

[north kestrel]

So then whats the point of buying a next-gen console if you could just use cloud gaming

[fiery python]

Cloud gaming isn't the best solution for everyone.

It runs like crap for me. Not all games are available on cloud. It requires you to be subbed to Game Pass Ultimate to use it. If your internet goes out, you can't play.

[idle spear]

Yeah actual hardware is always better

It's a nice feature to have though with gamepass ultimate I suppose

[meager yacht]

never heard of this shooter called alien rage looks good

[idle spear]

I was playing that a few days ago

[meager yacht]

any good ? and are u going through the 360 digital games too 😛

[tired hare]

Hello

[idle spear]

Was 61p or something. Seemed ok, just average shooter

Yars revenge is pretty fun for 63p if you like Panzer dragoon

[meager yacht]

lol last yars i played was on atari 2600

[tired hare]

That's GoT, right?

Beautiful

[idle spear]

Yeah it's sort of a remake

[fiery python]

Yep

[tired hare]

I actually am curious on the feedback for the PC release

Yeah, just what I thought. Review bombing

[meager yacht]

this is not gonna be easy looking at the list of delisted games theres way too many games i would try about to dissapear

like ArcaniA why would this not gte a psyical

dogfight 99 cents sounds good 😛

[idle spear]

One thing I didn't realise was some of the OG games if you buy on the 360 store don't carry over to XB1/Series even if the same game is available like Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Not really sure why that is

[meager yacht]

makes sense thats cause they dont exsist on there

[idle spear]

Chaos theory is BC on 360 and XB1/Series but the license doesn't carry over

[meager yacht]

cause they all need a patch ?

[idle spear]

Does for the disc but not digital

[meager yacht]

u probley cant get that patch on a digital copy maybe ?

[idle spear]

It's just a licensing thing

When you put the disc in it's not actually using any data on the disc anyway

[meager yacht]

this list i got is wrong most these games have xbox one versions like Murdered: Soul Suspect

Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon this was a wii game too i think another one u can get else where

[vocal gorge]

what I played of Ghost of Tsushima on my PC yesterday it was running really well at 4K and maxed settings. Didn't even require the use of any upscaling technology to get 60+ FPS though my PC is very high spec same may not be said for other people's systems. Graphics look stunning all maxed out too and didn't notice any issues with performance but I gotta play more before I say for sure. Right now a bit too focused on fixing my Barbarian build on Diablo 4 but will return to Ghost of Tsushima at some point today

[idle spear]

The Wii game is different but you can get path of furon on ps3 as well

[meager yacht]

oh what is gotham city imposters

[open chasm]

The whole Game Pass Ultimate thing just for xCloud really stinks. Wish Xbox offered options per feature.

[idle spear]

Sort of like a team fortress 2 multiplayer from what I remember

[meager yacht]

i cant see a psyical anywhere for it wonder why its not on the dissapearing list of 360 games

[idle spear]

Idk, maybe because it's multiplayer only

[meager yacht]

just bought one called amy that looks kinda intresting

[stray beacon]

I have acquired the guts greatsword In elden ring

I admit I looked up the location so I could get it as early as possible

[short tundra]

Anyone here tried Immortals of Aveum?

[tired hare]

Is it strange that attack on titan the series is rated15 but the game is 18?

[cinder veldt]

Nah

[tired hare]

It should be rated 15 imo

There's a big difference between a passive experience and an interactive one.

[proven flicker]

Major league baseball

[tired hare]

You should get it

[proven flicker]

I already have it I got a physical copy

[tired hare]

You want it for xbox

[proven flicker]

No I have it on ps5 because Xbox has a problem when installing a disc offline even if the disc is clean

And I have a series s

[green laurel]

Well that would be a problem with discs 😛

[stray beacon]

I'm kind of over discs. I know people like collecting physical media and you can get games for cheaper used, but I've had so many disc drives fail on me over the years that I just buy digital atp

[proven flicker]

And the guy at GameStop we both agree physical is better I sick of companies saying we don’t own our games PlayStation made me realize but physical games

[stray beacon]

Like with my PS5 the disc drive failed after less than a year. I know I just got unlucky but I'm so tired of it

[open chasm]

Understandably so, but I do think physical games are better since if anything happens to your account you at least will not lose your games.

[green laurel]

Discs are dead here all our retail stores shut

Rip gaming stores

[open chasm]

Wish games on PC weren't omnireliant on Steam and other launchers. Would love to buy more PC games physically

[proven flicker]

But me in the us GameStop is still open

They pack in GAME into some sports direct now but can’t imagine that will go on much longer

[proven flicker]

Either over the other?

[fiery python]

What?

[nimble beacon]

Is either better than the other

[fiery python]

Either of what?

[nimble beacon]

The remotes?????

[fiery python]

I've no idea. I replied about the headset.

[nimble beacon]

Oh

[terse arrow]

Alrighty- does anyone know of anybody that would nake a controller design based off a game character-

[fiery python]

Not me. I wouldn't use any service like that myself.

[fallow moat]

Design lab for customization.

[fiery python]

That's not going to get them what they want though

[fallow moat]

Of course…

[queen lotus]

Those designs are normally a sticker skin. I’m not a fan of them in general.

[fiery python]

Or you end up with something overpriced and looking crappy like Pope's controllers.

[terse arrow]

I understand that! I was gonna try and find a high quality face plate one cause idk if any of those custom xboz controller places will do like call in customs rather then their editor

[fiery python]

That would fall under hardware modification if you're talking about replacing faceplates, which isn't permitted as per server rules.

Ohh I see!

[white imp]

I actually hate how I’m able to transfer a disc game to my digital Xbox but not able to play it

[fiery python]

They're not going to let you play it without the disc. That would be stupid.

[stray beacon]

Just realized I unintentionally made my elden ring build a glass cannon. I'm using the greatsword and my endurance is so low I can't wear armor with it and not fat roll

[white imp]

Well I mean if I’m able to transfer it locally from a different Xbox I don’t see why they wouldn’t

[fiery python]

Because then you could install the disc, then return it to the store for a refund, or give it to a friend.

The disc is your license.

[white imp]

Fair, I really don’t want to play Elden ring on my slow Xbox one and I really don’t want to pay 60 for Elden ring again 😔

[sage ice]

why?

[stray beacon]

I usually wait to do glass cannon builds on like my fifth playthrough but this time it's on my first one

I was getting one hit by margits hammer attacks, this is going to be a ride

[white imp]

Why does Elden ring never go on sale 😭

[young fog]

It does regularly

[sage ice]

because the publisher doesnt want it to

[terse arrow]

Sally may pfp

[young fog]

Ive seen it at 40 euro plenty of times

[mellow roost]

I didn't level VIG until about level 70, so I more or less had to not make any mistakes at all. Made it so much harder but was also a very interesting experience.

My thought was that if I'm just gunna get one or two shot anyway, then I'll just build up all my damage stats first instead.

[stray beacon]

Eventually I want to do a sl1 run of ds1 but i don't know that I'm mentally prepared for that yet

I think my laptop may be able to run dark souls remastered so I'll try that out later

If I delete a game does my data get deleted? Because I ran out of space 🥲

[fiery python]

It will delete it from the console, but if you reinstall the game your save file will be restored from the cloud.

[earnest briar]

So if I delete for example starfield and reinstall it will all my saves be there?

[fiery python]

it doesn't matter which game it is, the answer is the same.

[earnest briar]

Ok, thanks.

Having the fluke worm from X-Files isn't the profile picture I expected anyone to have.

Good to see a fan in the wild.

Weird, it's not showing for me unless I click their profile.

Also, slightly linked, I had an email from Ticketmaster yesterday evening advertising a bunch of gigs. One of them was David Duchovny, which was a bit of a surprise.

[earnest briar]

I didn't even know it was from X files. I found it when I was looking for a gif

Strange, it shows up on that last message, but not the ones earlier.

I knew Duchovny was a singer, but didn't know he was still doing it actively. The last video on his YT channel was a year ago.

If you have Game Pass just pick a genre you like and look at what's available.
