general-chat

[mellow roost]

Yes.

[alpine jolt]

It's wireless it has its own battery

[mellow roost]

You plug a USB cable + the wireless transmitter into the one of the USB ports on the Xbox and the headset is completely wireless otherwise.

[steady saffron]

Yup. I asked cause I saw some that has like a docking thing to the xbox controller to get the wireless/bluetooth connectivity. So it drains the controllers battery too

[steady saffron]

Perfect

[mellow roost]

Every now and then the headset may disconnect from the transmitter which is the only downside, but it's a super easy fix, just flick the switch on the transmitter back and forth and after a few seconds it'll fix itself.

This doesn't happen during play, it just sometimes happens when you first turn everything on.

[lunar tartan]

I can help

[alpine jolt]

But yeah you can use plug your phone charger into your controller and it works wired

[steady saffron]

Thank you Kylie gonna try to see if I can find it at the local gaming store. If not I’ll just have to replay Hellblade II with headphones

[alpine jolt]

It might explode your controller though idk it seems jank

[steady saffron]

First session of Hellblade II on my 7.1 surround speakers. Gonna be fun hearing the voices

[mellow roost]

Honestly if you can't find Astros or SteelSeries cans in a store, there's also the HyperX brand, but it's been a while since I looked into them so I'm not entirely sure if they're all-platform or not.

They're a solid brand though.

[alpine jolt]

The worst part about headsets is that the aux input always breaks because i treat my belongings poorly

[harsh flume]

Who is ready for summer

[halcyon stratus]

i'm ready to enter my hot girl summer era

[lunar panther]

BIG SAME

[mellow roost]

I spend most of my time indoors, but I'm definitely glad the snow is over.

[steady saffron]

Yeah I will look into it. I mean Ninja Theory said any headphones will do cause they recorded it with this really cool spatial audio technology. So gonna be awesome

[night rapids]

I'm more into a Hobbit girl summer

[lunar panther]

u wanna get our starbies and go to the beach together, tacti

[halcyon stratus]

I got my summer berry refresher this morning

[alpine jolt]

You could move to antarctica and enter your cold girl summer e era too

[lunar panther]

YASS QUEEEN

[halcyon stratus]

i'm built for the heat not the cold

[long maple]

yep next month cant wait, Football Euros start, gonna chill in the garden, also watch all the gaming events and end up with more games for the backlog lol

[foggy skiff]

I have one rn

[lunar tartan]

Time to get Kylie into her outside activities era

[alpine jolt]

I can't stand the heat

I get itchy when I'm hot

[steady saffron]

It’s always hot girl summer for me 😭

[long maple]

UK homes are the worst. I dont like gaming over the summer. hands sweat I dropped my Elite controller last time

[steady saffron]

I live in a tropical setting. Wouldn’t mind a few winters once in a while…

[steady saffron]

Who you rooting for in the Euros?

[long maple]

dont really have a set team. I enjoy most of them.

like growing up it was difficult. as family members supported their own team. so Scotland, England, Germany and Italy lol

[steady saffron]

Nice. Yeah I enjoy good football nonetheless. But… IT’S COMING HOME FOR ME

[cerulean basin]

I follow little to nothing of football tbh

[lunar tartan]

I follow American football

[alpine jolt]

Yeah is ac more of a luxury in the uk or something? Nobody I've talked to from there has ac in their house

[mellow roost]

TL;DR The government decided it wasn't necessary.

[alpine jolt]

Classic

[long maple]

yeah we just get those rubbish rotating fans.. got like one in each room, but I need a new one as the stand broke lol

[mellow roost]

Not a super political thing, more of a geographical thing.

[cerulean basin]

In some countries it doesn't necessarily get warm enough so often to warrant having AC systems as a common thing, so many apartments are simply not equipped with one.

[alpine jolt]

It feels like they have a heatwave every year in the summer

[long maple]

saying that summer doesnt last long. I think 2 years ago it was like 40C which was a rare thing. it normally hits around the low 30s

[halcyon stratus]

./laughs in global climate change

[cerulean basin]

But a heatwave once a year doesn't warrant building expensive AC systems in buildings.

[idle spear]

That was unbearable when it got to 40c

[long maple]

my thermostat indoors is saying its 26C right now.. its less than that outside 😄

[short mantle]

Some states in the US are the same. My first apartment didn't have an AC when I lived in WA. Neither did the house I bought. It sucked during the summer.

[sage ice]

Most houses in Los Angeles do not have AC

[cinder veldt]

An AC is very rare where I live

[cerulean basin]

In Denmark it's mostly just office spaces that will install AC

[alpine jolt]

Weird even the worst apartments I've seen have an ac unit hanging out of the window

[halcyon stratus]

A/C was one of the short-list of first tier filters when I was looking for a house. Like there were a couple of things that my realtor knew to check before even bothering to contact me

[severe cypress]

why

[long maple]

for everyone else most this week its mid/high 60s if you going for Fahrenheit

[cinder veldt]

Because we don’t need them

[cerulean basin]

Because it doesn't get warm enough too often to make it worth it

[steady saffron]

We don’t have a centralized AC unit from where I’m from. We call it an air con and it’s those specific for each room. Only for cooling and not centralized

[severe cypress]

ohhh okay

[short mantle]

You can't live in Texas without an AC. It's pretty miserable here during the summer. Houston had pretty severe storms and tornados the past couple of days. Millions of people are without electricity. It's going to get pretty hot there this week.

[cerulean basin]

I like it here. Summers hardly ever get warmer than 24º and in the Winter it rarely ever goes below 0º

[gray latch]

same, even when I was still looking in the northwest. it's needed there now, sadly. much easier to find it here in the midwest tho

[cinder veldt]

Though good heating is important in the winters here

[lunar panther]

i shoot my shot and get ignored - HIGH SCHOOL all over again

[cinder veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-laugh-laughing-you-serious-jk-simmons-gif-6107729

[halcyon stratus]

lmaoooo i missed that

[cinder veldt]

I had -30˚C as lowest this winter

[halcyon stratus]

i'll get starbies and go to the beach with you later... i'm not quite beachbod-ready yet 😉

i'm more dadbod since i haven't been able to do any real hiking since busting my stupid foot.

[gray latch]

our winter was mild for us. only got to like -2F I think

[steady saffron]

Genuine question. Would you guys rather live in a tropical setting where it’s constantly 26-30 degC (80 fahrenheit)

Or the usual 4 seasons? Winter spring fall summer

[gray latch]

4 seasons

[cerulean basin]

Me wondering how Swagus or Greenfeather don't freeze up when stepping outside

I like seasons so my mood can go through all of its yearly states

[gray latch]

shelled out a lot of money for good winter clothes lol

[night rapids]

we had some -40s and -50C days here last winter

[cinder veldt]

I want Sweden, 3 seasons. The very cold, the super warm but also the just windy and cold but not winter

[short mantle]

I keep my AC on 69 throughout Spring and Summer. I get hot very easily. Even during winter, I only turn my heat on if it's really cold.

[cerulean basin]

https://tenor.com/view/frozen-without-gif-4802133016629640180

[cinder veldt]

”Clothes after weather” is something said often here in Sweden

[dark yoke]

I love the cold 🩵

[long maple]

yeah my moods been weird this month. apparently its a spring thing. I been napping so much, even sorted my sleep out yet still woke up at 4pm

[night rapids]

and then +30s and 40s in the summer. Wild

[dark yoke]

Dark & Cold is my favourite

[dense current]

I'm stuck between 2 games should I buy cod bo 1 or mgrr

[steady saffron]

I want something like Spain-Portugal. Warm Springs and Summer and tolerable Winters

[short mantle]

Same, I'd rather be cold than hot.

[dense current]

Both are goated

[cinder veldt]

Northen Sweden winters are torable, for proof I will invite Anchel up here /s

[halcyon stratus]

i want to be an isla bonita, tropical drinks melting in my hand, living life by the rhythm of a steel drum band

[steady saffron]

It’s like would you rather be miserable in the winter or summer haha

[halcyon stratus]

like aruba, jamaic, bermuda, bahamas, key largo, montego....

[steady saffron]

I appreciate this especially during winter.

[lunar panther]

why do I feel like this is lyrics

[shell heron]

well, its almost 2 weeks to go until Final Shape

[short mantle]

The coldest I've ever been was when I did cold weather training in Norway.

[halcyon stratus]

i would never age bait here!

[steady saffron]

The coldest I have ever been was in Colorado winter 2017. High altitude towns…

[lunar panther]

whoever it is, I got a Zac Brown Band vibe from it

[night rapids]

Aruba, Jamaica...

[lunar panther]

this is.. ringing bells...

[steady saffron]

Ketchup Song please

[gray latch]

coldest I've felt was when I first flew to Minneapolis to look at the house. waiting outside the airport after midnight in -14F and super windy, waiting for the Lyft

my phone quit working it was so cold

[halcyon stratus]

we could drink cocktails on moonlit nights, if only we lived way down in kokomo

[short mantle]

I don't remember how cold it was in Norway when I was there, but it was in the negatives.

[steady saffron]

I don’t mind the temperature. The WIND CHILLS are the killer…..

[steady saffron]

Scandinavian summers seem really nice tho. Except if you end up in a movie like Midsommar lol

[cinder veldt]

The summers are eh, I don’t remember the last summer where it was warm enough to swim in the lake

[steady saffron]

Good point. Beach/lake summer activities are important

When does the review embargo lift for Hellblade II btw?

[long maple]

isnt it same time as launch

[steady saffron]

Really? I thought it’s usually a day before

Trying to find out when to avoid twitter

[long maple]

yeah to avoid spoilers with it being a single player game

[short mantle]

Embargo ends an hour before launch

[steady saffron]

Sweet

[alpine jolt]

Summer is usually cooler when a bunch of people don't die

[steady saffron]

Or just join the cult

[short mantle]

https://vxtwitter.com/iconera_/status/1790820159453630764

[long maple]

yeah but someone else is saying 9am, which is same time as launch for UK

[steady saffron]

And it releases like 12 hours from now right?

[long maple]

I will be up early anyway, with my kid having more exams he gets up around 7am.

[lunar panther]

[tired hare]

Has anyone watched Furiosa yet ?

[elder cargo]

[short mantle]

I'm watching it on Thursday.

[alpine jolt]

Is that the new mad Max movie?

[short mantle]

I booked my tickets weeks ago

[half hazel]

Idk if im interested in it tbh
Prolly gonna watch it as one of those movies that come on TV while you're about to do something and the show catches your attention so you watch the rest of the movie standing up

[elder light]

Ok seriously whats up with the servers

im seeing people not me reporting a spike in outages as well

[wary raven]

Hello Team, can you recommend me a game? I like games like Elden Ring with pretty easy builds and the focus rather on playing than on constructing a character. I'm kinda tired of games with extensive building like Diablo etc.. I basically wanna plug and play.

[supple rampart]

[long maple]

[tired hare]

publishers set the times for their games same as the prices etc

[supple rampart]

[strong quail]

[tired hare]

Like the fact that majority of Xbox customers in North America are on east coast and they releasing at a time when they sleeping is a little sus

[strong quail]

Yep gotta be like this guy

[strong quail]

i be making bank with 60 hour weeks tho fr

[lunar panther]

money bags was such a scammer

[pure ravine]

Kinda

[unique verge]

Thank you but this method requires the email of the account which is what I am trying to find

[halcyon stratus]

oh you didn't 'lose access to the email' you 'lost what the email even is' and you don't have any alternate recovery addresses set up for it?

yea, you can't get an email address with only a gamertag.

[unique verge]

Theres no way of talking with them and describing the account details etc..?

[halcyon stratus]

if you are still logged in to the account on an xbox then the dashboard shows the email address (it flips between your name and your email I think? maybe it was name and gamertag.... i forget)

[meager musk]

Who here is a gamerscore grinder

[bleak robin]

Most times (if I do get them) it’s people calling me slurs, asking me to do things I can’t, asking for help with something I can’t control, trying to scam me, or trying to be my friend because badges :T

[foggy skiff]

I only grind coffee

[long maple]

I have my moments with gamerscore why?

[lunar panther]

what a neat way of saying achievement hunter

i love it

[night rapids]

you should be getting close to 1million, right?

[bleak robin]

I’m a coffee grinder, if that counts

[long maple]

yeah I have 999,145 atm

[bleak robin]

And I don’t even like coffee!

I have like… 12 gamerscore. Actually what do I have

I have 4600

[half hazel]

I've been trying to ween myself off of too much coffee ngl

"Easiest" way for me rn is sleeping and waking up at reasonable times

[bleak robin]

Use tea. It’s great

But I’d go with non caffeinated ones

Caffeine is a hard thing to kick

[sage ice]

I only have a couple commas

nice lazy holiday monday here, mostly. Just writing reviews and drinking coffee

Clouds please come

[merry palm]

My week is so packed. Like ~3 events/appointments every day through Thursday 😭

But I have a bunch of days off next week

[night rapids]

GAme 7 of the Oilers/Canucks series tonight. Going to be a fun one

[bleak robin]

Everyone else: 100k+ GS

Me: 4600 cause I don’t have an Xbox

[merry palm]

I think I have like 13-14k

Something like that

I don't have an Xbox either

[bleak robin]

I also don’t play things through the MS store

[merry palm]

And I also don't achievement hunt or do streaks so. Eh

[bleak robin]

I do some achievement hunting sometimes

[merry palm]

Getchu the Xbox appppppp

Wait. Are you on apple?

[bleak robin]

[merry palm]

Oh. Rip

I'm sorry

[bleak robin]

I have the Xbox app already. I just don’t play games on my phone much

[merry palm]

No no

On PC

Lol

[bleak robin]

OH! No I have a PC

[merry palm]

Cause PC gaming is a thing

Xbox for pc

Yesyes

[bleak robin]

I do also have a MacBook, but that’s for school

And I do have the app, but I don’t use it for games :/

[merry palm]

But why???

It's just like .. a launcher basically

[bleak robin]

It buries the game’s files deep deep deep in the system and there’s some things I like to use the exe directly for

[merry palm]

Ah

Yes bc it knows people

Yk how it is

[bleak robin]

Like adding it to steam. Too many launchers makes it confusing for me

[merry palm]

I have lots of launchers yeah

[bleak robin]

I just can’t ever remember what all is there

I use steam so often and it makes it easy for me to see what all games I’m currently playing. Having a launcher for every game I play is tedious and I lose track of the games I have

Same issue I have with streaming services nowadays :(

[pure ravine]

The launchers are annoying

[merry palm]

This is why I have them make icons

The PC can figure out which one to turn on w/o me

[lunar panther]

I once witnessed a person in high enough power say "PC gamers don't care about having multiple game launchers" with a straight face

they are no longer at the company lol

[merry palm]

Lol

[half hazel]

All companies should use steam

[merry palm]

I don't mind it, but some people do

It's almost like people have different preferences or something

I'm pro competition for steam

[half hazel]

Steam supremacy

[queen lotus]

I don’t mind the different launchers. I just dislike if I buy a game in one store, then launch the game and it opens a different launcher.

[merry palm]

K

[half hazel]

Aye competition is good
But the current competition
Ain't good competition

[merry palm]

I personally dislike steam so

Eh

[half hazel]

Well gog is nice

[tired hare]

Same
I was friends with Don mattrick back in 2014 He told me releasing halo 5 for pc makes no sens cause pc gamers don't generate money or some now pc platform is a gold mine for both console sellers

[merry palm]

They all suck in their own special ways lol

[idle spear]

Yeah that’s why I don’t get Ubisoft or ea games on steam. It’s just double drm as you need the other app anyway

[half hazel]

Steam has problems ofc
They allow alot of slop on there for one

[bleak robin]

Honestly I get why there are multiple launchers. It’s a good way to make money. But it would be best if a non-game-making company made a launcher, and that’s what everyone used as their game repo

[merry palm]

And they keep trying to recommend horror or sports games to me

[red wedge]

Feels like they will put anything on steam tbh

[bleak robin]

Steam is kinda like that imo

[half hazel]

Just have 100 dollars to put the game on there

[bleak robin]

But if all the companies agreed to make just one launcher the default for everyone, a lot of headaches would be alleviated

[merry palm]

I think it's important to have the competition bc otherwise they would get complacent and not fix problems.. yk . Like steam lil

[queen lotus]

I love gog to track all my different libraries.

[bleak robin]

That’s what I mean though. The company making the launcher is solely responsible for it, instead of making games too

[half hazel]

Epic ain't perfect but free games every Thursday is fire

[tired hare]

Epic games launcher is good cleaner design than steam

[bleak robin]

That way things get fixed. Or make it open source and allow knowledgeable people that know it to help maintain it

[merry palm]

Since I don't mind having a folder or icons. It doesn't personally bother me, but if I cared about keeping track of games it might

[half hazel]

Idk I like steams design
Like it makes me feel like I'm in some sort of market (stupid I know lol)

[merry palm]

Not stupid, you like what you like

[idle spear]

Gog I don’t mind as it’s drm free

[bleak robin]

That’s my issue with the windows store or Xbox app. It doesn’t make icons for the game and I can’t find it :(

[merry palm]

The Xbox app makes icons for me..

[bleak robin]

I like steam cause it allows you to add non-steam games into your library

[tired hare]

Xbox app is so smooth to use so clean all games free since it's gp

[half hazel]

You mean for downloaded games?
There's icons

[bleak robin]

Not on the windows store app that I could find

[merry palm]

If you download via the Xbox app, you get icons

[bleak robin]

Unless I missed something but I searched long and hard and couldn’t find anything. Ah that’d probably do it. I didn’t download it through the Xbox app

[merry palm]

Tyl

[half hazel]

Speaking of windows store
Roblox thru website
Or roblox thru windows store

[bleak robin]

I got the free fallout 76 from twitch and it’s via windows store

And there’s no icon and you have to launch it via the launcher because the exe is buried deep in windows files and it’s not named

[merry palm]

Windows store is hit or miss. I think I might have turned off icons at some point and forgot about it

[tired hare]

I'm getting free black ops 6 this year from gamepass pr whatever they wanna call it

[idle spear]

I usually try to avoid the windows store when I can

[merry palm]

Yeah Xbox app better than windows store

Waaaaay better

[bleak robin]

For sure. The only time I’ve legitimately used it is at work so I can get Python

Even then it’s meh

[half hazel]

Is it even gon be on gamepass

[bleak robin]

But it works so idm

[half hazel]

Python the coding language?

Just letting you all know because me and my friend got disconnected at the same time on Gears of War 2 Co-Op.

[half hazel]

What about on the series x?
At least the Cex near me has 360 games and xbox og games

[tired hare]

the older games on the current store will work, they are shutting down the 360 store only and the non backwards compatible games on that. i guess they should make it more clear

since the current store and 360 store were 2 separate things

how long does support usually take to respond?

[short tundra]

No, I messaged them on X

[nimble lantern]

alr

[short tundra]

They aren't understanding when I said "I'd like to report an Xbox 360 Live outage"

They thought I wanted to report another player.

[nimble lantern]

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

does xbox not care about pc players

[short tundra]

Guess not

[merry palm]

I feel like they know

If that makes you feel better

Xbox isn't PC, so I'm not sure of the correlation here

That's like asking if Nintendo cares about PlayStation players, I don't know what you mean

Ok😂

[mellow roost]

So we made penne with red sauce, and a secret ingredient...

...hot and spicy Spam!

It's actually incredible.

[vast ermine]

Red Lobster went bankrupt???

[noble trout]

Red Lobster is closing some stores but I don't know that they've totally packed it in yet.

[mellow roost]

They're sinking faster and faster lately, yes.

[foggy skiff]

well, it's not so secret anymore, gg Kylie

[halcyon stratus]

i've got a tin of spicy spam on my counter right now lol

[noble trout]

Oddly I've been seeing more and more Red Lobster food stuffs in the food store. Freezer and biscut mix.

[halcyon stratus]

i might make burgers this weekend and slap some slices on top

[molten briar]

Sending some pumpkin spice spam to tact

[mellow roost]

I think what surprises me the most is how little the Spam affects the texture.

It's just like pure flavor.

[naive bison]

What is spam made of?

[halcyon stratus]

ham and spice

[lunar tartan]

I think it’s because I crumbled it

[halcyon stratus]

or you could even say spiced ham

[naive bison]

sounds nice. too bad I can't eat pork 😭

[naive bison]

Thanks Kylie

[gray latch]

I think there's also turkey spam?

[halcyon stratus]

i cook it for the texture - I like to grill or pan fry it so the edges get slightly crispy

[mellow roost]

I think you're right.

[vast ermine]

gotta buy some quickly

[naive bison]

Imma look this up

[mellow roost]

Big facts. Crispy edges on Spam is like no other.

[lunar tartan]

I still want Kylie to go to the spam museum 😂

[gray latch]

I wanna go there too!

[halcyon stratus]

there is and they specifically do not call it spurkey

[mellow roost]

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-gif-23898341

[gray latch]

got it. it's spurkey!

[mellow roost]

The what?

Spam museum?

[lunar tartan]

Yes!

[gray latch]

yeah! it's local :)

[mellow roost]

What a time to be alive. We definitely have to go at some point.

[lunar tartan]

It’s down in Austin MN

[halcyon stratus]

it makes sense that spam would be invented in minnesota

[mellow roost]

Also we got all 3 flavors of the limited time sour Powerade because they were only a dollar each.

[halcyon stratus]

sour power ade?

[mellow roost]

Blue raspberry is blue raspberry, green apple is pretty good, watermelon lime is alright.

Green apple is the clear winner, and I don't normally like green apple.

[noble trout]

Erf. Time for little league practice.

[mellow roost]

Yep!

[lunar tartan]

It’s free to do a spam museum tour

[noble trout]

Just gotta get to the museum.

[halcyon stratus]

i like sour blue raspberry flavor, hmm

[noble trout]

Sour blue raspberry Spam?!

[halcyon stratus]

still woudl be better than nyquil chicken

[lunar tartan]

NyQuil chicken?

[limpid flicker]

You never heard, Kat? The company even put out an official communication saying "don't do this".

[halcyon stratus]

yea some stupid tiktok 'trend' from a couple years ago

[lunar tartan]

Weird

NyQuil has alcohol in it I’d imagine that’s dangerous

[halcyon stratus]

the alcohol would cook out - but the dangerous chemicals would remain

[limpid flicker]

Doesn't it have some kind of sedative in it?

[halcyon stratus]

also... it is green.

[limpid flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/data-commander-data-star-trek-star-trek-gif-21541096

[halcyon stratus]

NyQuil and the FDA both had to some out and say 'dont be stupid'

[vale surge]

I got banned in a server for rising up minors

Apparently I can’t keep the lady’s off of me

[rancid obsidian]

Aye bro can somebody spare me their game share with gamepass 😭

[halcyon stratus]

that is agianst the terms of service and could result in the account being banned

[limpid flicker]

Good!
Don't do that, and don't talk about it. 🤮

[stone gazelle]

Is it normal for your xbox to crash if you open an app after playing for a few hours?

[halcyon stratus]

no

[stone gazelle]

I keep opening YouTube but it keeps crashing or Roblox or rd2 It just keeps crashing then when I restart it it’s fine

[desert sonnet]

I got pizza. In everyone's faces!

[halcyon stratus]

that doesn't seem polite.
where did you learn to eat?

[desert sonnet]

Burger King

[halcyon stratus]

well that explains why oyu eat pizza so messy then

the burger king knows a lot of things, but a proper pizza is not one of them

[red wedge]

I got ice cream so right back atcha!

And chocolate chip cookies

[desert sonnet]

Look at these prices holy moly https://vxtwitter.com/Dexerto/status/1792668376411881836?t=7nKJBisLSSofH5WYxZwVtA&s=19

The cheapest drink on there is $90

[halcyon stratus]

that list isn't "just a drink"

[red wedge]

Welp going go watch abigail. Ttyl peeps.

[halcyon stratus]

those are the prices that get you table service in a club

[limpid flicker]

Even if they misplaced a decimal point, that would be a strange set of prices. 😅

[sonic ember]

thats why theyre all tweaked out, bc its cheaper

[desert sonnet]

All I know is, don't talk to me unless you get a Don Julio 1942. Cause otherwise at that point, I don't know you

[molten briar]

That's only pricing for people that got the cheapest tickets, the ones that don't give access to the bar

[limpid flicker]

TBH I don't know what "table service" really is. I think it means someone bringing the bottle and serving you and being all fancy-schmancy about it.

[molten briar]

It is so absolutely worth getting the upgraded tickets at edc for like $100 more. The bathroom access alone

[halcyon stratus]

yes. you are in a big club. in a secluded/roped off section. you have a table and couch and can relax etc

[kind heron]

$140 for a 6 pack of cheap beer 💀

[sonic ember]

just pass me the water lololol

[desert sonnet]

That'll be $30

[limpid flicker]

IDK if you play Yakuza games, but my first thought was "It must be like Hostess clubs".
Or if you don't play those games, maybe you're just aware of the concept.

Weirdly close.

That's a thing

[mellow roost]

That was one of the best CoD campaigns IMO. However, it was outdone by Black Ops 3 and IW gameplay-wise.

Minecraft was like the WoW of the 2010s

exactly

[limpid flicker]

Too many downloads, or what? I don't remember.

[barren bronze]

i think

[limpid flicker]

Folks, how do you feel about it when within a fairly large area the game tells you "go find this person" and gives no further clues as to what part of the area? You OK with that, or you find it tedious? I'm in the 'kinda tedious' camp.

[pure ravine]

It's a classic unlike thrash we get today 😭

[warped pivot]

Imagine getting Minecraft for just 10 bucks today.

[pure ravine]

Can't wait to play mw3 2030 version 🤣

[barren bronze]

IK BROO mw3 is so fire

[warped pivot]

Getting Minecraft for The Xbox 360 would be priceless but worth it.

[limpid flicker]

I still have 360 Minecraft on my account. Spent a lot of time with it.

[warped pivot]

You an OG. Most people don't realize that the recent Minecraft doesn't have all of the achivements that The Xbox 360 had.

[limpid flicker]

TBH I don't know if I realised that exactly. Modern MC has lots of achievements so any "missing" are easy to not notice.

[tired hare]

[slate island]

Hellola chat

[limpid flicker]

That's a great site, they have all the achievements back to the dawn of the system on there.

[tired hare]

holy crap.

Did not think this to happen. Considering this is the dev behind MK1 Switch port, perhaps the worst Switch port to date

[slate island]

Someone has already seen the 15 years of minecraft event ?

[warped pivot]

I used that site for Xbox Game Pass. I grind until I'm at least #5 or higher but this time around I got burned.

[tired hare]

Looked up the statement related to this, my guess was the studio was going to get closed, so Nintendo saved it. It'll still do porting and support work for all games for Switch (and probably Switch 2).

[limpid flicker]

Sure would love to have been there to hear that first discussion / series of discussions where someone (some team) presented the idea of achievements to an executive. Wonder if they were a hard sell. Y'all need to remember nothing like that ever existed before except on a game-by-game basis sometimes.

Example: Ratchet and Clank games had "Skill Points" which were a clear predecessor to achievements.

Just so you know, the rules here probably say to not talk about stuff like that... anything "unauthorised".

[weary solar]

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

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

[warped pivot]

Clearly it's about Nintendo.

They weren't on Steam until now?

[versed swan]

[limpid flicker]

Huh. I have those games on PS already so I didn't even realise.

[desert sonnet]

Yea they were Epic Exclusive

[versed swan]

im unfamiliar with the series but this is apparently roughly everything except the rhythm game which i guess will remain epic exclusive

[warped pivot]

Ngl watching "Modern Vintage's Gaming" YT Channel is so fascinating.

[desert sonnet]

And now we wait for those silly mods 😏

[gray latch]

pls stop breaking rule 12

[versed swan]

cool first step for multiplatform strategy even if i guess this is objectively not really multiplatform

[limpid flicker]

There is technically some older content that's not on ANY modern platforms, too. Some of the old games, in the modern collection they are just videos to watch.

[warped pivot]

Just saying.

[gray latch]

would you like a shovel

[foggy skiff]

I would, so I could smack people with it

[desert sonnet]

Y'all have you ever wondered who would win, Mewtwo or LeBron James in a basketball game?

Erm it's intended purpose is to dig but u do u 😅

So did Stephen Smith https://vxtwitter.com/Dexerto/status/1792673514782367873?t=l3xStZfTSJRqfsNHNwUZMA&s=19

[limpid flicker]

Mewtwo ||would just mind control LeBron, right?||

[uneven river]

Would win without it

[desert sonnet]

Spoiler alert Sol!

[trail harness]

i dont have to imagine because it makes no difference to me if it was $10 or $40, still really good value for money per hours of gameplay

[desert sonnet]

You better spoiler tag that 😡

[foggy skiff]

Bron would just flop every time

My GPU flops every time... teraflops

[uneven river]

[warped pivot]

I wouldn't mind grinding for the achievements but sometimes they don't always pop up.

[trail harness]

There were less than 100k sales total when I first bought Minecraft. I had NO idea it was going to explode in popularity soon after lol.

[desert sonnet]

Ty Sol 🥹 (was jk btw)

[limpid flicker]

Oh I bought PC Minecraft when it was still barely a game.

[trail harness]

I'm an old Alpha player of MC Java

[limpid flicker]

I mean I figured, but why not play along?

[uneven river]

I bought minecraft because I was huge into all the $1 games at the time it released on xbox

[trail harness]

The nether wasn't even there yet when I bought it

[uneven river]

Fortresscraft totalminer castleminer castleminer z etc

[limpid flicker]

Indev or Infdev?

[warped pivot]

Interesting. Was there ever a Minecraft Beta on CD?

[trail harness]

Alpha, so neither

[uneven river]

Back when mobs could spawn inside of well lit houses

[limpid flicker]

Oh that was later? Whoops.

[trail harness]

yeah indev and infdev were before alpha

[limpid flicker]

IDK I bought mine direct from the website. It had almost no features back then. I'm not even sure hunger was a thing.

[warped pivot]

So no survival?

[uneven river]

Survival was added some months after xbox release, (or year)

[mellow roost]

I started playing Minecraft before the hunger bar existed.

[uneven river]

Back when flat worlds were considered survival

[trail harness]

October 2010 is when I purchased Minecraft. I still have the record of the purchase.

[limpid flicker]

Let me try to paint you a picture... when Minecraft launched, all there was was a world, and you could dig or build. That was literally the whole game at first. It was less a game and more like "Hey folks check out this weird cool thing I made."

[warped pivot]

Technoblade would be proud.

[limpid flicker]

Also worth noting: Minecraft was based on an older game... Infiniminer, I think. That game was so much less freeform and creative.

[trail harness]

Survival started off with the only dangers being lava, mobs, fall damage and drowning. No hunger.

[uneven river]

I used to hope the fortresscraft things would come over to minecraft

[trail harness]

No potions either.

[limpid flicker]

The core mechanic "there are blocks, you can break them" was definitely there in Infiniminer.

[warped pivot]

Would love to play the very first Minecraft. That'd be hard to track down.

[trail harness]

There was only 1 block type so no you would not

[uneven river]

Cobblestone is all I remember

[warped pivot]

I mean there has to be a copy out there somewhere.

[limpid flicker]

I think the Java launcher lets you download old versions, but I do not know how far back.

[trail harness]

The first worthwhile to play Minecraft would be what we now call Minecraft classic.

[trail harness]

all the way back to when cobblestone or something was the only block you could place

[mellow roost]

You can find the earlier versions of Minecraft fairly easily if I remember correctly. Some launchers allow you to backdate the game, and you can go pretty far back.

[warped pivot]

Java Launcher takes me back.

[limpid flicker]

In those old days we were buying it just to be like "What is this weird thing, and what can I do with it" you know? There was a forum thread on this one site... I only knew it from there.

[mellow roost]

I don't know if any launcher allows you to go all the way back to "Cave Game", but...

[uneven river]

I remember being terrified when they added enderman, looked one in the eyes in tutorial world and it ran full speed towards me

[mellow roost]

The sound they made when you looked at them was a mistake. 💀

[trail harness]

the official launcher goes pretty far back

[limpid flicker]

TBH a lot of what they added in the more recent updates interests me way less than just exploring cool caves and trying not to die in lava.

[trail harness]

or dying to that one creeper that saw you mining a diamond

[warped pivot]

And here comes the stupid warnings.

[pure ravine]

Lol

[warped pivot]

Anyway.

[warped pivot]

Seeing a person archive Minecraft in it's glory time is just astounding.

[trail harness]

I was pretty happy when I found out they added cherry blossoms

[pure ravine]

The amount of times ive come out of my underground base at night to do one thing and a creeper as been waiting for me 💀😭

[limpid flicker]

Yes. That's one of the better things from recents.
BTW recently I've tried out some modpacks... fun to try a whole other experience.

I tried Stoneblock.

[uneven river]

The wither still keeps it fresh, never know when you'll insta die and lose entire inventory

[trail harness]

Creepers do that too

The most iconic enemy of the game

[warped pivot]

I thought those was Villagers.

[uneven river]

Do creepers destroy inventory items ?! Wither does

[mellow roost]

Equivalent Exchange and TerraFirmaCraft are two mods that I loved so much. Mod authors for either stopped updating them many years ago.

[limpid flicker]

The Creeper sound is one of the most "Aww crap" sounds in gaming.

[pure ravine]

Lmao

[trail harness]

I used to make traps specifically for dropping creepers to their death

[mellow roost]

Pause. TFC is actually still being updated?!

[uneven river]

I was thinking about buying $9 of tokens to download the plane mod they're advertising

[desert sonnet]

I was meaning the mods for Kingdom Hearts on Steam

[warped pivot]

I wanna see Goofy model be replaced with The Punisher

[mellow roost]

I don't know when those started back up again, but what a legendary moment.

I got so OP with that once I was able to build houses out of diamond blocks

Villagers just stare into your soul.

They used to shoot fireworks when a raid was finished inside of their homes, never ended well

Sorry but I already had pizza. I can't handle spam right now

[limpid flicker]

You can be all of those things, but this server isn't a dating server, and spamming emotes is not good. Honestly I'm surprised you can post that many without Discord stopping you.

[warped pivot]

Pizza goated.

[mellow roost]

@glad vector Don't spam, and also, this isn't a dating server.

[desert sonnet]

Pizza on da morning pizza in the evenin pizza at suppa time!

3X a day.

Long time no see Trippy.

[limpid flicker]

God, pizza 3x a day? If only.

[warped pivot]

Gee and I thought Garfield lived it up.

[sonic ember]

Whats everyone's first choice of pizza topping/s?

[desert sonnet]

Pepperoni or Jalapenos mmm

[limpid flicker]

Speaking of Pizza, any of you heard that a lot of fast food places, if you order from a 3rd party delivery service it costs more than if you order direct? If true, game changer.

[mellow roost]

Pepperoni #1.

[halcyon stratus]

🍄

Spam , mushrooms , and black olives

[mellow roost]

I also like the added acidity and "crunch" of pineapple, but it's not my usual choice.

[versed swan]

most places just replaced ordering directly with third party apps

[limpid flicker]

I like sausage on my pizza, and yes to jalapenos.

funny anya faces go brr

[limpid flicker]

Finished the first season with my anime group a while ago. We are gonna take a break and watch something else before more.

[halcyon stratus]

It is hard to make a voice. I used to invest and support a company that made voices for automated weather and telephony applications. It would take them months to craft the needed phonemes. You don’t accidentally get someone’s famous voice without using it as a reference

[granite patrol]

Hello

[mellow roost]

Speaking of which...okay I've apparently completely forgot the name of the technology.

[bleak robin]

Go back to the days of robotic voices. Those were charming and don't sound like anyone

[desert sonnet]

ScarJo vs A.I baybeee

[halcyon stratus]

Everything has changed with llm and deep fake tech thuggery you can build a copycat voice in minutes 😦

[mellow roost]

Back in the 90s, maybe 80s, I don't know, there was a type of computer voice technology that...I don't know how to describe it. It appeared in an episode of the X-Files.

[halcyon stratus]

Text to speech , synthetic voices have been around since the 80s yea

[limpid flicker]

Y'all remember the voice that used to answer when you called XBOX Support?

Was that fully synthetic or based on a person, I wonder.
"Are you calling about an original XBOX or an XBOX 360?"

[mellow roost]

Synthesizer, there we go. That's what I was looking for. And yeah, they've existed for a damn long time now.

The 80s/90s synthesizers were pretty awesome and definitely my favorites.

[halcyon stratus]

Deckard Cain used to answer when you called Blizzard lol

[limpid flicker]

I would stay a while and listen!

[halcyon stratus]

“Stay awhile and listen because our menu options have changed traveler “

[mellow roost]

I love how I'm just drawing a blank at all these names, but there was that super early synthesizer that you basically had to play like an instrument. Didn't it have like...an actual name or something?

Was from the 40s or 50s or something.

[gray latch]

Moog? from the 60s

[foggy skiff]

AI

[halcyon stratus]

I’m very confused about the question lmao

Synthesizers 80% of the time had a keyboard built in back then

[limpid flicker]

Are you by any chance thinking of a guitar with a talkbox?

[mellow roost]

If my memory wasn't so awful right now I'd be of better help. XD

[mellow roost]

Hmm. 🤔

[halcyon stratus]

Standalone and rack mounted synths existed but they needed controllers which were still 90% of the time a keyboard interface

[gray latch]

there were some early ones that didn't have a keyboard

[mellow roost]

Oh wait a minute, I think this is what I was thinking of:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voder

@rancid obsidian No.

[limpid flicker]

It makes it sound like the music is saying words. What is really happening is that the guitarist is saying words quietly and they are sorta interacting with the music in fun silly way.

[rancid obsidian]

😔

[mellow roost]

Sharing accounts with people who don't live with you is a TOS violation and can lead to account bans. As per rule 12, further discussion is not allowed.

[desert sonnet]

Why couldn't we get Gilbert Gottfried to agree to voice all future a.i voices before he passed 🥺

[halcyon stratus]

The keyboard I bought specifically had vocoder support in it lol. Gotta be able to Frampton it out sometimes

[rancid obsidian]

Yes ma,am

[limpid flicker]

NGL there are a few people who have passed that I wish would have been around to agree to being turned into AI voices, just because...holy crap they sound epic.

[clear jay]

Is there a way to share games like on steam with families?

[warped pivot]

So what about Cowboy Bebop?

[gray latch]

I'm told that's a talkbox. when I was at Surface audio an exasperated audio engineer explained that to me lol

[mellow roost]

Fantastic demonstration:

https://youtu.be/0rAyrmm7vv0

[limpid flicker]

I've seen it, but it isn't one of the ones we've watched as a group yet. There's roughly 8,000,000 anime.

[gray latch]

whoa

[warped pivot]

So this anime group has a Discord or do you visit locally?

[clear jay]

I'm confused did she saw him?

[long dune]

Rizz

[limpid flicker]

It's some friends, not a public thing. Just some people I know.

[warped pivot]

That's pretty cool. Wish I had some that loves anime..Wait I do but he's busy trying to battle his diabetes.

[mellow roost]

I'm not familiar with how the Steam family sharing works, but on Xbox you can set a console as your Home Xbox, and basically what that does is it allows other people on that same console to use your games and subscriptions.

[long dune]

Why though

[limpid flicker]

Wait, does anime have a high glycemic index? 👀

[mellow roost]

For the exact reason of how you just used it. You tried to spam.

[desert sonnet]

God can you imagine Alan Rickman? I'd loooove that

[halcyon stratus]

Right. Mine is a vocoder because it uses a microphone headset input in to the synths computer

[long dune]

Nah it was just brainrot

[mellow roost]

Yeah, so spam.

Wasn't relevant to the conversation and was in all caps.

[halcyon stratus]

Oh no is this now pharmaceutical grade glycine chat?

[warped pivot]

No my friend IRL is battleing Diabetes and it's just killing him right and left.

[long dune]

Oh, my bad

[limpid flicker]

Slightly more niche I guess, but I want David Hemblem (voice of Magneto in the original X-Men animated series brought back to life with technology.
Also David "Gul Madred" Warner.

[long dune]

Hope he gets better

[limpid flicker]

Those two had voices I could listen to forever.

[desert sonnet]

Hmm idk what they sound like but nice 🙂

[warped pivot]

I hope so. He's my closest friend to me.

[mellow roost]

Anyone happen to know this plant? Getting too many different answers.

Grows outside the house, I'm assuming it was planted.

[long dune]

what is that

[gray latch]

I just ask someone at Bachmans

[limpid flicker]

You may not, but Kylie will remember Madred. If she doesn't at first, I need to say five words.

[mellow roost]

That's literally what I'm trying to figure out. 💀

[gray latch]

looks like it's good for bees, anyway

[limpid flicker]

Kylie, I gotta say the five words or not?

[long dune]

💀

[mellow roost]

I can't remember. I think my brain is just sleepy again.

I have a lot of plants in my yard idk what they are either

[clear jay]

Have you tried that plant subreddit

[limpid flicker]

"How many lights are there?"

Ron Perlman better be the new A.I voice or im gonna break something

[limpid flicker]

I've seen / heard that guy in a few other roles, and he's so good.

exactly

[limpid flicker]

He was also Ra's Al Ghul in Batman the Animated Series.

[mellow roost]

Ron Perlman is just...a fun voice and a fun actor.

It's nice to see him in things.

[mellow roost]

Nah, it's not a super huge deal, I was just wondering if anyone knew offhand.

[limpid flicker]

Ron Perlman much better than his almost name-twin, Ronald Perelman. Best known as the guy who almost drove Marvel outta business.

Me when you find out The OG Ash Ketchum Voice Actress retired.

[limpid flicker]

It isn't even surprising when you realise that typically for a teenage boy Japan casts a middle-aged woman. It's very common.

[warped pivot]

No I even wasn't really suprised at all. A women can even voice a boy which is pretty crazy

[limpid flicker]

It's pretty much tradition, and so they will be ready for retirement much sooner than you would think from the characters they play.

[gray latch]

https://tenor.com/view/hallelujah-the-simpsons-bart-simpson-happy-eating-gif-14926192

[warped pivot]

Even the characters need a break.

[desert sonnet]

I think the only time I was surprised by a voice actor was the voice actor for Rocko in Rockos Modern Life is confirmed to be voiced by Officer Garcia from Reno 911 . I was blown away

[limpid flicker]

I don't remember Reno 911 if I even watched it.

[warped pivot]

Doesn't sound familar.

#BringBackSaturdayMorningCartoons

[limpid flicker]

They went away?

[gray latch]

yep

[warped pivot]

They faded since late 2014.

[limpid flicker]

See, I don't watch TV at all anymore. I do still sometimes discover new animated stuff (She-Ra is best) but only online.

[warped pivot]

The last known Saturday Morning Cartoon Block was Vortexx On The CW and rumor has it that they didn't pay their debt which was caused by the shutdown.

[limpid flicker]

I fear the day when someone I like and respect tells me "I just dislike the She-Ra series" -- it'll be like "IDK, this feels like irreconcilable differences".

[warped pivot]

The FCC also has something to do with the shutdown as well but you're gonna flip. The last known Saturday Morning Cartoon that aired was Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal.

[foggy skiff]

step 1: don't get in so deep with people 😛

[limpid flicker]

Yeah no most people I don't care what they think of it, this is people I actually care about them and their opinions.

[foggy skiff]

idk what that's like, tbh

[dark sparrow]

Payday 2 enters the chat

[warped pivot]

The last piece of The Vortexx On The CW was the last few minutes of the show and then the banger of a credits.

[versed swan]

most cartoons can be found on cable or streaming now at any time of the day, so there's less of a need for specific periods of the week for antenna TV to show cartoons

[mellow roost]

What did he play again?

[dark sparrow]

Rust

[limpid flicker]

It's a risk-reward thing. You either fly high, or you crash and burn.

[warped pivot]

I liked the older format better when it was cartoons instead of live action shows.

[dark sparrow]

The heist his character came with is also terrible

[foggy skiff]

I disagree

[dark sparrow]

I love a heist that is so tied around RNG that there is a 50% chance that you just won't be able to do it on Death Wish/Death Sentence

Toonami is coming back to Cartoon Network.

I feel like you're being way too pessimistic there. Adventure Time?

[mellow roost]

Wasn't Toonami ending after?

Hang on, I gotta Google this.

[tired hare]

Was a big toonami fan glad its coming back hope they bring tom

How long did you wait, because I see like 2 minutes between the last activity and your post?

Same, space

[acoustic sun]

Yeah but I just wanna play online

[ripe grotto]

Didn’t know they had a Time Machine in time square

[fluid creek]

Then update your console

[acoustic sun]

I don't trust updates

[gray latch]

lmao what

[fluid creek]

Then don’t play online

Those are your two options

Pick one

[acoustic sun]

Can I still use the store without updating?

[sage ice]

no

[gray latch]

just ask :)

Go ask the devs??

the updates are made by the same ppl that made the console software. if you don't trust the updates......

[fluid creek]

I’m not looking it up for you lol

[river turret]

Slows the console down

[fluid creek]

Don’t spout nonsense. A console update doesn’t slow it down

updates do not slow the console down

[tired hare]

i reckon it does on the older ones atleast

nope

Oh that’s my bad that’s iPhone

[river turret]

My question really got me trippin out here, guess I’m just frustrated no one answering 🤷‍♂️

because no one knows

how would we know the answer

[fluid creek]

I cannot be bothered looking something up for someone rude and lazy lol

[tired hare]

my xbox one dashboard has felt like it’s been getting slower throughout the years but idk if it’s because of updates

[limpid flicker]

If your console is an XBOX One, then what is slowing it down is 11 years of progress.

[sage ice]

it is mostly in your head

[river turret]

Lmao love the name whoever did it, f my old name, from now on I’ll be known as FearlessBee

[sage ice]

it was the bot

[limpid flicker]

There's a bot. Any names that don't fit the rules it will generate you a random one.

[sage ice]

similar to how a new GT is generated

NGL they're pretty fun names, I went a few days with a bot name because it was nice. Forget what it was now.
