Spoilers for basically the end of suicide squad

||all of the league were clones, the suicide squad killed clones, arkham batman is still alive and they beat brainiac basically, just an ending to make this game "go away"||

[hearty plinth]

nope. im not planning on getting that. besides im busy on spiderman 2 on pc atm

[half hazel]

Anyways arkham knight should've totally been followed up by a batman beyond game

[hearty plinth]

agreeish

[half hazel]

Damn theres a need for more batman beyond

Literally the coolest batman aside from Mista og himself

[glass pike]

Crazy we got Gotham Knights when that easily could’ve been Teen Titans instead

That would’ve been sick

[half hazel]

I think batman beyond is the best one to take the mantle

Damian should be his own thing, nightwing is his own thing, same with the rest of the bat fam

[hearty plinth]

and lets not talk about that god awlful live action of gotham knights another version of it

[glass pike]

Tbf now that Marvel Rivals has taken off I can see a DC Rivals and a Star Wars Rivals in a sense, they’re both also big enough to have their own Overwatch clones arguably

[half hazel]

DC rivals kinda existed

Mutiversus

They're gonna make it "go away"

[fluid creek]

i suggest you stop

idk why you're DMing him

but he clearly doesnt wanna talk to you

[half hazel]

Its aight I mostly replay cyberpunk

[glass pike]

That was more Smash Bros than Overwatch tho tbf

[half hazel]

Fair but close enough

[lucid folio]

I play single player games as well nothing wrong with it

[hearty plinth]

ribvals look more overwatch clone than smash

[half hazel]

I ain't got much hope for dc games in the near future

Marvel got something cooking tho

[lucid folio]

Seriously don’t know what’s people’s problem is with people not play multiplayer

[glass pike]

Both great single and multiplayer games these days

[hearty plinth]

i prefer single player games as well only mp i play is COD

[glass pike]

I mainly play single player but I’ll dabble in multiplayer at times

[half hazel]

Iron man by the dead space remake devs, 1945, black panther

But i really want a hulk game

[glass pike]

Wonder Woman sounds like it could be lit tbf

By the Shadow of Mordor/War studio

[hearty plinth]

but some of those are still years away

[half hazel]

Yeah but wb are being quite the stinky bunch rn so I ain't got much hope

[lucid folio]

To be more frank you can’t trust so called friends on Xbox they could report you with no reason if they get mad

[half hazel]

Imagine rejecting a batman beyond movie 💔💔

[fallow moat]

“The Nether” new limited time seasonal/episodic activity in Destiny 2 is cool, but the anti-heal mechanic is pain

That’s why I don’t trust people on Xbox they can turn against you

[glass pike]

Imagine rejecting the reboot of the Boondocks. They did that at Warner Bros too ☠️

[half hazel]

I'm prolly just gonna play psycho patrol, doom and gta this year

[hearty plinth]

isnt that anywhere lol

[half hazel]

Cant trust people irl that's why I desire to live in a mountains on a farm

[hearty plinth]

ac shadows, fable and if perfect dark reboot drops

gates isnt with microsoft for over a decade

[half hazel]

I may play shadows
That looks fun

No ps5 so no ghost of yotei for me. At least yasuke can use guns tho

[glass pike]

same give me a mountain cabin with a prepper bunker in Montana Far Cry 5 style as long as I have internet and I’m good

[hearty plinth]

same about ghost of yatei im wait for the pc port for that

[hearty plinth]

just without the cult living with u

[blazing grove]

@half hazel do you think Lies of P is Harder than Elden Ring

[half hazel]

Yknow what's hard

Mma

My shins are demolished

Elden ring harder tho

[blazing grove]

Lies of P king of puppet is hard Can’t even defeat him

[glass pike]

One thing I wanna see live service wise is that Crazy Taxi reboot as that is supposedly live service and looks absolutely sick

[merry palm]

i was watching to see how it all played out yeah lol

[glass pike]

I’m not getting rid of it

[gusty nimbus]

I had sent my Xbox controller in for RMA. They sent it back but there’s no information on what they did to it.

It does not look like they opened it

[merry palm]

would be weird if it did tbh

[tired hare]

Man does Microsoft suck for cancelling the dlc for age of empires 3

[merry palm]

you dont really need to say it in multiple channels lol

and tbh i dont really care if they cancelled it, but bummer that you were looking forward to something that was cancelled

[weary solar]

#rules 😃 1. Be cool, kind, and civil. Treat all members with respect and express your thoughts in a constructive manner.

[tired hare]

microsoft good

lmao

nah microsoft is pretty bad they haven't even done anything about the gears of war collection...haven't heard anything about it

like come on guys use your other franchises already

No. Microsoft Good.

[regal shell]

"Microsoft hasn't even done anything about an unnanounced / rumored title"

[tired hare]

and to go harder on that microsoft still hasn't got windows working well on mobile devices like the rog ally...you are losing to valve

Microsoft is the reason this discord server exist, the reason you own a Xbox (if you do), don't say they suck coz they cancelled one dlc

[gusty nimbus]

Does anyone know if they provide information on repairs?

[tired hare]

you have how many more developers Microsoft has and can't get windows working well on handheld gaming pc's

[tired hare]

I think theres a rule that doesn't allow talking about repairs or related to that

seems pretty lazy to me

but valve can and has been making massive strides towards handheld gaming pcs

[regal shell]

You obviously have never worked on a software product as massive and complicated as Windows

[gusty nimbus]

Wdym? Microsoft isn’t allowed to say what they repaired for the controllers?

[regal shell]

Anyway, armchair engineers are hard to take seriously

[tired hare]

They made the OS your pc is running on, they made Xbox so that you could join this server, play games with friends, be happy, and you're just yapping and being mad coz they cancelled one dlc for AOE3?

[tired hare]

No, this server.

[limpid flicker]

I take it you mean the UI? Because it "works fine" on my ROG Ally. The UI isn't ideal, but there are no functional problems.

[gusty nimbus]

I don’t see in the rule list?

[tired hare]

I don't use windows...or Xbox...mostly because windows and xbox is far behind both pc gaming and linux respectfully

[weary solar]

#rules 🚨 ⁠12. Prohibited topics include: game sharing outside your household, hardware disassembly or modification, piracy, emulation, violating Xbox policies or Terms of Service, explicit or NSFW material, leaks, and any questionable or illegal activities. Moderators may apply discretion to other topics as needed.

[tired hare]

Then why you'd come here just to argue about AOE 3?

[weary solar]

https://careers.microsoft.com/

[gusty nimbus]

I don’t see how I am in violation of that rule? @tired hare

[abstract mist]

What you're talking about is fine. I believe they replace controllers, not repair them though

[limpid flicker]

It's genuinely hard to take seriously a person who says Windows is behind Linux for gaming. C'mon now, talk some sense. Linux is less far behind than it used to be, certainly.

[regal shell]

Luis, it would be good to read the rules before trying to educate others on them

But no, I don't think there's any status on repairs other than what's on the support site

[tired hare]

to talk about microsoft games like age of empires and halo which work on Linux and PC

[gusty nimbus]

Oh ok. They gave me back the same controller. The serial number is the same and it looks like there is usage on it like the one I sent it.

I was just wondering where I could find information on what they did to it. It doesn’t look like opened it or repaired it.

[fluid creek]

i don't even think linux is officially supported for halo

[tired hare]

I just don't use any windows platform like Xbox or Windows I use Linux but still use Microsoft products.

[merry palm]

🤣

[limpid flicker]

No no you were right the first time.

[gusty nimbus]

Halo MCC runs perfectly fine on Linux

[fluid creek]

that's different than "it's supported"

[tired hare]

Campaign works fine...only thinmg that matters

[fluid creek]

lowkey was hoping no one saw that 😂

[regal shell]

You're absolutely welcome to talk about these topics. Trying to imply devs are lazy because you don't understand software development is something else.

I never truly got to grips with any Civ later than 4... I'm like... there's so much to learn, I don't think I even learned all the new features in 3 & 4 fully.

[regal shell]

It is still a great place to work.

[fluid creek]

hmm

[merry palm]

so, hopefully they fix that 😂

[fluid creek]

seems it could be prevented with my incessant saving

[merry palm]

its only a few more days. we can make it!

[fluid creek]

i'm lowkey tempted to just not buy it until some of hte DLC is out

[limpid flicker]

Civ 1 was very pleasantly simple. I'm sad that the game became larger than the amount of energy I can devote to it, but I'm also glad that a game I used to play when I was 15 is still a big deal.

[merry palm]

i would have waited for the same reason, but hello kitty got pushed back for me and i am like.. ok what now

[fluid creek]

punched back?

[limpid flicker]

I think I still have my big box edition with the original manual for Civ 1 and 2.

if i was talented in tech areas i'd sign up instantly, i'd say it was a success

[tired hare]

Guess i have to wait until Microsoft opens some job centers on my state

[regal shell]

I spent almost a decade working in Windows, I've seen some stuff. The difficulty of dealing with the immense requirements of it as a pretty universally-used OS was part of why I left to join Xbox.

[tired hare]

I'd like to go and work there personally not from home that's why

[limpid flicker]

I don't have delusions of adequacy so I don't think I could work at MS... 😅

[merry palm]

i like my job :)

[tired hare]

[limpid flicker]

I'm... semi-good at what I do... which is very simple things. 😅

[merry palm]

I don't know what i'd like to make as my job... i like soldering cables and stuff, even made a fan, but i like electricity stuff related, like house electricity basics etc and i want to be a psychologist, i don't knowww

so anyone use Ludusavi a very good program for backing up save files

[glass pike]

Why does the bot keep spamming the Microsoft Careers link?

[regal shell]

No, the last Windows I worked on was Windows 7

[tired hare]

It's not the bot, it's rule 14 iirc

[cyan quiver]

no wonder Win7 was so great, i can see why now

[merry palm]

i really liked windows 8 tbh

[tired hare]

Windows Vista was goated, had nice GUIs but it was slow

[cyan quiver]

I didn't like the start menu, didn't really work well on a desktop PC

[regal shell]

Heh. I've never heard anyone say Vista was goated

[tired hare]

I tend to use it with Mega as my cloud saving platform as I find the fact that Windows 11 by default tries to change the default folder locations to a /onedrive/documents file structure and that tends to break a bunch of stuff pretty awful so onedrive is right out

[glass pike]

Windows 7 was goated

[limpid flicker]

Windows 7 was "my Windows"... I can't think of anything I'd ever wanna change except that it get updates and patches.

[tired hare]

I have the original disc you were able to buy

[regal shell]

I wrote the photo viewer for Vista and the photo import wizard for Windows 7

[tired hare]

Nice

[cyan quiver]

I always thought vista was too ahead of its time

[tired hare]

Ahhhh i still don't know what i'd like to study to workk

[regal shell]

The import wizard did manage to survive until well into Windows 10 though

[limpid flicker]

Imma be real with ya. These days with Steam Cloud, Xbox cloud saves, PSN cloud saves... I can't imagine using any third-party backup tool.

[tired hare]

I could re join the stuff i was on, try and get on Microsoft or study psychology

[regal shell]

https://bsky.app/profile/neonepiphany.com/post/3lcwqluqh3q22

Eden Marie (@neonepiphany.com)

It looks like they finally retired the old Photo Import Wizard from Windows 10. While I was writing it back in the Windows 7 timeframe, I created a WPF prototype to try out some different UI concepts. I just recently loaded it up and it still runs! Enjoy some rough history.

[glass pike]

The Xbox team definitely seems like a dream job although I can only imagine the rigorous requirements being a part of the team there.

[limpid flicker]

BTW if I may? Anyone who finds Windows 11's look a litle jarring for their old nerd ways? Just grab "StartAllBack". You're welcome.

[tired hare]

it really just depends if you are playing older games and or games that don't use steam cloud

[idle spear]

In terms of UI I preferred 7 the most But yeah I’d happily use 7 if it was viable still

[glass pike]

Certainly above my skill set ☠️

[tired hare]

surprisingly common on steam which is disappointing...plus I rather have access to my own save files and be able to have them on a flash drive in my own home

Miss Em, if you could tell us what do they do on the Xbox team, and what are the requeriments to join, you'd say it's worth it? or it's hard? or what could it be

[tired hare]

Aren't Vista and 7 the same tho?

[limpid flicker]

Yeah I guess... so for those when I do play them nah I don't use that one, I use something called GameSaveManager.. but rarely now.

[cyan quiver]

I kind of liked 11's design, but I didn't like how...flat everything looked. Reminded me of this a little?

[idle spear]

No

[tired hare]

Just 7 being a lighter, faster and most improved Vista

[limpid flicker]

No. Vista is like... listen, Em might throw things at me, but Vista was like 7 Beta.

[tired hare]

Still Vista is goated because it made a road for Win 7 🗣️

[limpid flicker]

You can make the taskbar and start menu look like XP or 7 with StartAllBack. If you want to.

[cyan quiver]

Eh, maybe someday

[limpid flicker]

The real problem with Vista is that they changed the way drivers work and many of them were super-buggy when Vista dropped.

[merry palm]

i want my live tiles back

[cyan quiver]

I do miss the old XP themes, they were really creative and changed how XP looked in ways that were pretty unique

[tired hare]

pretty decent I prefer ludusavi because its cross platform so it will work on both windows and linux which is nice for me over here on steam deck

What happened to Windows Longhorn anyways?

[regal shell]

7 is basically Vista but with changes learned the hard way

[limpid flicker]

It wasn't Vista's fault, really. Give those drivers longer to cook, and you got 7. That's what 7 is.

[tired hare]

I mean it had a nice name

[limpid flicker]

Longhorn was... XP I think?

[tired hare]

Vista da goat 🗣️

[regal shell]

The important stuff like UAC and the desktop window manager all came from Vista, 7 just made them much less annoying.

[tired hare]

Nah, it was like the beta for the next OS iirc, but it had some differences to XP

[cyan quiver]

so 7 is essentially the younger golden child brother of Vista?

[regal shell]

Also 7 ripped out a bunch of stuff that maybe shouldn't have been in the core OS, like Movie Maker and the Photo Gallery (that stuff was re-released as the Windows Live Suite)

[tired hare]

Vista Reformed

[limpid flicker]

OK well, they all have a codename, every version has a codename that's not used for the final release.

I think 95 was... Chicago?

[regal shell]

Longhorn was Vista, essentially, but it got reset majorly around 2005

[glass pike]

Project Ekur

[tired hare]

Windows 3.1 should make a return

[limpid flicker]

And 98 was... Cairo?

[upper meteor]

Cairo? Like Cairo station from halo 2?

[regal shell]

It was originally going to have large chunks written in C# and the .NET framework

[tired hare]

Aha i was in the correct path!

[regal shell]

All the way down into the deeper parts of the OS

[lunar panther]

They initially turned me down and I said "no please" and they were like "ok fine"

[tired hare]

What do you guys do on the xbox team and whats required to join?

[regal shell]

The real problem was they were like "build on WPF and WCF and WinFS" and none of that stuff was done yet

[limpid flicker]

Well, once upon a time, Cairo was best known as a city in Egypt, but yes, much like that. 😛

[regal shell]

Cairo never shipped

That was a doomed OS

[glass pike]

So if I beg enough and pretend like I know what I’m doing I’ll eventually get the job… good to know. 😂🤣☠️

[regal shell]

98 was Chicago

[cyan quiver]

It's funny how XP to 7 used locations in a ski resort

XP was Whistler
Vista was Longhorn
7 was Blackcomb I think

[upper meteor]

Ohhhh

[fallow moat]

Windows Cairo?

[limpid flicker]

Your memories are much better than mine, perhaps you were there in those days?

[tired hare]

"I've obliberated children in Roblox games, i'm a good addition to your team!"

[lunar panther]

[merry palm]

[upper meteor]

I sure hope there's a hot oj-making role

[merry palm]

[regal shell]

Cairo was the thing that preceded NT 4.0

[tired hare]

Is there any universal req to join?

Like knowledge or basic knowledge on some area or smth like it?

[regal shell]

You were like "I promise I won't break parties"

[limpid flicker]

Just to clarify, you know that "Xbox Team" means you literally have a job at Microsoft, right? It's not a Discord-only thing.

[tired hare]

Don't forget to take them out for a walk

[cyan quiver]

it's not like I could just, walk into Amazon and purchase a CD of it

[merry palm]

having to use dos to get to things made me feel so cool

[limpid flicker]

The days when you were fighting against the lowest levels of the OS to break through the limitations like 640k base RAM, and everything being 8 bit unless you used a "DOS extender"...

[cyan quiver]

I guess you can sort of replicate that with the command prompt?

[limpid flicker]

And when you had to choose when to load your CD ROM and sound card drivers or when to save the memory.

[glass pike]

I’ve got a question for those who work at Xbox… do you guys volunteer to be on this thread, and if so, why be a part of it? I mean that in a sense of if you’re looking to talk to the community, find friends, talk to devs, etc

[tired hare]

I remember when i was 13 i pulled this crazy hacker move and managed to remove a blocked wallpaper on the schools laptop, i got a blue solid color instead but still a achievement

[regal shell]

You just answered your own question

But yes, this isn't part of our jobs

[cyan quiver]

I remember placing Windows To-Go on a flashdrive and running GTA V off of it, as well as accessing all my other files and games. Good times

[limpid flicker]

It was such a... moment in history when Windows finally broke the DOS shackles and could really unleash itself in a new way. People who weren't there have no idea.

[severe lodge]

Imagine if we got paid for this!

[limpid flicker]

Of course, I also from another perspective "have no idea" - those who actually were there working on it at the time, they would have a perspective on it that I could not even imagine.

[tired hare]

For the discord server?

[tired hare]

Or when i inserted one of my personal USBs on the school laptops and got a virus, even tho those computers have no access to the internet by any mean

[regal shell]

I would have to be much nicer

[limpid flicker]

Perish forbid.

[merry palm]

that is a perk to not getting paid that i had not considered

[glass pike]

The amount of spam you guys get on here… tbf, I’d probably feel the same

[merry palm]

honestly the spam isnt terrible lol

our bot handles a lot of it :)

[glass pike]

I was about to say the bot seems to catch most of it

[limpid flicker]

The hard part (I believe, not to presume) is all the people who claim to know their jobs better than they do.

[merry palm]

people getting mad at me for whatever thing they are mad about as if it were my job

thats probably the most irritating regular thing

[glass pike]

Corporations do stupid stuff all the time, always the customer-facing people at the front who have to take the brunt of it

[merry palm]

I dont even work for xbox 😂

but yeah basically we are who they take it out on , like when things crash

imo the european mods have it worse. there are less of them

[glass pike]

The European team in general seems to have it worse, everyone seems to blame them for poor marketing, amongst other things over there

[limpid flicker]

PopTropical, you should just see how it gets when the servers are down. People lose the ability to read the message immediately above their own.

[fluid creek]

i mean tbf

[lunar panther]

Very proud that I haven't broken it ever since I took ownership of it!

[fluid creek]

pop is here mansplaining the server to us 😂

[unreal zenith]

Hello everyone

[limpid flicker]

If you break it right, people won't notice that you broke it at all!

[glass pike]

I’m just ranting in general at this point tbf 🤣

[limpid flicker]

Not sure that works, but I'm trying for a reference to a certain Futurama episode there.

[lunar panther]

I've definitely broken things, they just were internal

[limpid flicker]

You know what's a thing non-developers don't realise? How many error messages constantly appear in the logs and they're just... normal.

[merry palm]

that sounds like having the red notifs on apps but just ignoring them.

aaaa

[limpid flicker]

Technically something went wrong, but nothing you have to actually fix. You're just like "Yeah, that goes wrong on days that end in y, but we have a graceful failure mode, so everything works anyway."

[lunar panther]

non-devs also dont realize their beloved feature may also be held together by glue and duct tape

not even super glue - we're talking the glue kids can eat and be ok

[merry palm]

that one guy on reddit with that one thing from 32 years ago...

holding up the internet

[limpid flicker]

Especially if it's a legacy feature. I love that the 360 stuff still works, but god I dread to imagine how fragile it all is right now.

[merry palm]

ok so like.. any large organized thing then 😂

my only reference is helping organize a large conference and people acting like it is running so smoothly

behind the scenes its all on fire

[limpid flicker]

BTW Tes, this is what you referenced, right? It's... scary how often it is true.

[merry palm]

yes that lol

[fluid creek]

Tesssssssss i'm getting close to breaking

and ordering

so i can play this weekend

[merry palm]

https://tenor.com/view/color-purple-oprah-winfrey-gif-10884707865541444254

[limpid flicker]

Thing is, should that project fail, a replacement will be made. Life finds a way... but... it often doesn't break and so...

[merry palm]

it out on tuesday

[limpid flicker]

Y'all rememember the node js chaos when leftpad went away?

[lunar panther]

last dude on my team that touched 360 stuff took literally over a month for what should have been a trivial change, and 100% that has nothing to do with skill level - absolute incredible engineer

[limpid flicker]

Thing is, leftpad was a trivial component that realistically people didn't even NEED.

[lunar panther]

lol leftpad omg

[limpid flicker]

But because it was woven deeply into the dependencies of the major projects...

[lunar panther]

this is what happens when the culture around a programming language is "NEVER write anything yourself. Pull in someone else's library."

[limpid flicker]

YEP. Because leftpad was something so trivial that it really should NOT be a library.

I personally get a great deal of intellectual exercise out of writing things in JS that I could pull in from a library, sometimes.

And then sometimes I throw out what I did and use the library.

But at least I understand what I'm using now.

[glass pike]

This explains so much as to why Unreal and Unity are becoming the primary game engines in the industry these days ☠️

[limpid flicker]

It's above my paygrade to evaluate if that's a good thing or not, but I will say those engines are very frequently misblamed.

[glass pike]

I mean, with how big games have gotten these days, it makes sense to have a few primary ones to expedite the process a bit I’d imagine.

[limpid flicker]

It means that developers have more transferrable skills, too.

[lunar panther]

When people ask me why I stopped being a frontend / web developer, I show them this video
https://youtu.be/Uo3cL4nrGOk

[limpid flicker]

If you were lets say, an EA employee skilled with FrostBite and you wanted to take a job on a project using the Creation Engine, I imagine it takes more time to get up to speed than when you go from one Unreal Engine job to another.

[kindred basin]

Yo, do any of you know why my Xbox controller core button is sometimes unresponsive and delays the time

Sorry to bother you but I need to know😭😭😭😭

[lunar panther]

"I have 3 production outages named after me--" checks monitor "..4."

[limpid flicker]

I actually truly love JavaScript.
I don't love the culture that has built up around it.

[sage ice]

only 3?

[lunar panther]

Same - I use it when I want to slap something together quick and dirty

To your surprised, I have personally never caused an outage!

[lunar panther]

k maybe one time I killed a whole feature for about 200 people for only 2 minutes, but that was on Mixer

quick someone say "200? Full customer impact then!" - it'd be so good

[vocal ibex]

Heyyy anyone play overcooked 2 by any chance??

[merry palm]

mixer, whats that again?

[lunar panther]

ninja on mixer

[merry palm]

some cooking app or something?

[vocal ibex]

No its a game you play with friends

[lunar panther]

Yooo - I'm sure there are some folks that play. Are you looking for people to play with?

[queen lotus]

It’s when Deek goes out for drinks and cries

[vocal ibex]

Yea i made a post but barely anyone looks at those when im on so

[lunar panther]

Sorry to hear 😦 Did you post on the official LFG feature? or in this server in the #1094715375884697600 channel?

[vocal ibex]

And i made a group post but barely anyone plays

[brave wasp]

Mixer revival in 2025???

[vocal ibex]

From what ive seen or some ppl have a group to play with

[queen lotus]

You might get better luck with All You Can Eat edition. It’s the remastered bundle. Which has crossplay, so potentially more players.

[lunar panther]

I pinged you in another LFG someone mentioned Overcooked 2 in

(I am very bad at that game)

we don't discuss rumors here, plutonic, sorry

[quiet pasture]

can i discuss rumors about what ill have for dinner tmrw? :))

[lunar panther]

is it a rumor if you know exactly what you'll have?

[quiet pasture]

nah i dont know what ill have

[brave wasp]

You can't pay me to play Overcooked, I tried it once with my gf and it almost turned into an episode of The Bear

[quiet pasture]

could be pizza for dinner tmrw

[lunar panther]

next you're going to tell me about the issues you're having with your sink

Drive it another 300k duh

Go for 1 million

truly an xbox one moment

[short mantle]

Dammit, there's going to be so many popcorn buckets in July. My poor wallet. 😔

[halcyon dirge]

Only one or two will probably be worth getting

[fiery python]

And I bet the UK gets none of them.

[halcyon dirge]

They’re a waste of money anyway

[short mantle]

Nah

I like ‘em

[halcyon dirge]

I’m not excited for Rebirth, the other 2 yeah

Dominion was awful

[fiery python]

I love the Jurassic franchise, but I don't like that they're going with more stupid looking hybrids in this new one. It's a step too close to the horrible concept art they did for human/dinosuar hybrids for the planned JP4 movie.

Superman I'm less interested in as I never really cared for him as a hero. But I'll watch it at home on digital as I'm interested to see what Gunn has brought to DC again.

[halcyon dirge]

Krypto carry

[short mantle]

I'm excited for Superman and Fantastic Four.

[glad axle]

Im excited for cap america next week

[halcyon dirge]

Do you guys actually use the bucket after you’ve been to the cinema

[spiral shore]

nope lol

[halcyon dirge]

That’s next week?

[glad axle]

If its a limited edition one yes but not the standard ones

[halcyon dirge]

Damn 😭

[glad axle]

For me its in cinema on the 12th

[spiral shore]

I get the cups i got like a 100 cups lol

[short mantle]

I'm not the biggest Jurassic Park fan. I've only watched the first 3 movies. If they have a cool bucket, though, I'll get it. The Jeep as a bucket would be cool.

[halcyon dirge]

The MCU has fallen off for me

[fiery python]

I would have used mine if I’d been able to get the Deadpool one which is the only one they released here, but the cinema sold them before the movie was even out.

[short mantle]

I have a ton of buckets. I always buy them without popcorn.

[halcyon dirge]

It’s probably gonna be a dinosaur or something

[fiery python]

I bet they’ll do a Galactus head bucket

[halcyon dirge]

My only cup is a love and thunder one lmao

And that movie was awful

[glad axle]

That would be sick actually

[fiery python]

Maybe one with their car too

[halcyon dirge]

14th in my country

I’ll go see it

I need to get my cinema subscription back

[brave wasp]

It'll probably be a H.E.R.B.I.E bucket, lol

[halcyon dirge]

The last movie I saw in the cinema was Spider-Man 2 I think

[glad axle]

Then how did you get the love and thunder bucket?

[brave wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/fantastic-four-first-steps-herbie-fantastic-four-first-steps-look-gif-122590616362381675

[glad axle]

Didnt spiderman 2 release way earlier

[halcyon dirge]

They re-released the spider-man movies

[glad axle]

Ah makes sense then

[halcyon dirge]

Like last year

August in my country

I can now say I’ve seen every single Spider-Man movie in the cinema

[glad axle]

I havent been in a cinema since sonic 1 in like 2020 or 2021

[halcyon dirge]

I saw Jaws once too

I saw Sonic 2 in the cinema

Movie was good bar the weird wedding scene

[glad axle]

Also can i ask?
Is your banner from uncharted?

[halcyon dirge]

Yes

[short mantle]

These are some of the buckets I own. Alien and the Bat Signal are my favorite buckets. They make nice collectibles.

[halcyon dirge]

Uncharted 4 my favourite game ever

[glad axle]

Ive only played 1

[halcyon dirge]

Did you see the Indiana Jones hat bucket

[glad axle]

I was planning on playing the nathan drake collection but got bored fast

[spare sinew]

Its me or xbox series s looks really bad on some games

[short mantle]

I ordered the Captain America helmet bucket a few days ago. It should be here next week.

[halcyon dirge]

That one was good, it was sold out when I went because I would have gotten it, Indiana Jones is one of my favourite franchises, I still need to play the new game

[glad axle]

Then i thought ill just wait for legacy of thieves but then i realized thats only 4 and 5

[halcyon dirge]

The console is weak tbf

Developer’s nightmare

I love the Series X

[halcyon dirge]

1 is kinda mid ngl

[glad axle]

Tbh it is also a budget option for people who want to play the games

[spare sinew]

I noticied jagged edges and pixelation

[halcyon dirge]

2 onwards is good

[halcyon dirge]

Nice collection

[glad axle]

You cant expect it to have the same specs as the series x

[halcyon dirge]

The Alien one is good

[fiery python]

It’s not a developers nightmare at all. They’re used to optimising for loads of varied specs on PC. That’s like saying the 30XX range is a developers nightmare on PC because it’s holding back the 5090

[halcyon dirge]

Is the deadpool Xbox controller real?

[glad axle]

Yes it is

[halcyon dirge]

Damn I need it

[fiery python]

Yes but it was a promotional item

[glad axle]

Just not available for people who didnt win the giveaway i believe

[halcyon dirge]

Oh so it’s on eBay for like $10000 lmao

[glad axle]

Unless resold somewhere by the winner

[halcyon dirge]

Yeah someone probably resold it

Some people usually do

I want the BO3 juggernog mini fridge

Best CE ever

[short mantle]

My coworker bought it at launch. He said it lasted less than a week. It’s still a cool collectible.

[glad axle]

Imo the best is the bo1 rcxd

[halcyon dirge]

Bo4 had a good one too with the mystery box

Bo2 had a drone

[glad axle]

Mw2 and mw19 had night vision goggles

[halcyon dirge]

It’s potluck it seems

[halcyon dirge]

MW19’s are good

MW2’s are dated ofc

[bleak robin]

Shockingly quite in here

Time to change that /j

[fiery python]

Not really for this time, pretty normal

[bleak robin]

Guess I’m not usually in here at this time then lol

[hazy void]

does war thunder run well on the xbox one s?

[mortal cosmos]

Yeah it runs fine when i used to have mine

[hazy void]

ok ty

[idle spear]

Was looking at the new Mai character in SF6. She costs 350 of the in game currency but you can only buy 250 or 610 that’s sad, basically have to past almost 2X for currency you don’t need.

[round imp]

yo

[fiery python]

This is why in-game currencies should be banned. It's a disgusting practice to make people spend more.

[idle spear]

Yeah it definitely sucks, just wants to drag you into buying the £50 ultimate pass.

[fiery python]

Ugh, the Civ VII install is annoying. It comes with two versions, one for XB1 and another for Series X|S, each with its own achievement list, so I installed both.

Both of them have the X|S logo on it and if you press start on the tile, the text field isn't long enough to tell you which version you've launched, so I keep launching the wrong one.

I've had to uninstall one of them for now.

[glad axle]

Tbh if you buy the 250 and 610 pack you will prob also have enough for the next character

[short mantle]

GameStop has a pretty cool preorder bonus for the new Civ. It’s a controller holder. I'm hoping they send extra so I can take one home.

[raven kraken]

[idle spear]

Well you could but at that point it may be better to go with the character pass which is exactly what it’s trying to encourage

[fiery python]

Oh great, Civ VII isn't letting me load my saves at all. Every other option, such as changing the sorting order or deleting the saves, works fine, but the button to load the save and continue playing my ongoing game doesn't work.

[glad axle]

Civ VII is having alot of problems huh

[fiery python]

Okay, figured out what was causing that.

When I deleted the XB1 version it removed DLC content that was in use for the save on the Series version too. The game couldn't start without that, but didn't give me any error to indicate that was the issue.

[fluid blade]

I tried playing Civ 5 once and it was too complicated for my brain

Instead my friends got me into Age of Empires IV and it’s fun

[fiery python]

I'm really disappointed they didn't make 7 Play Anywhere like they did with 6.

[iron birch]

possibly

I think my Xbox might explode if I play WT anymore

I might need to get a new Xbox..

every time I play War Thunder my Xbox now sounds like a war head

or a bomb

yk like when a bomb from a B-29 comes down it makes a whistle sound well that's what my Xbox makes

[lyric jetty]

It’s just helping you become immersed

[iron birch]

probably 😅

[glass pike]

I’m, sorry, WHAT? 😳

We need to make links more common in this thread

Holy F it’s real 😱

https://variety.com/2025/digital/news/rooster-teeth-burnie-burns-acquires-box-canyon-1236298181/

I see they clarify RWBY isn’t a part of the new lineup as it was fully acquired by Viz media a number of months back. Ngl, very very excited to see where Viz Media goes with RWBY. Anime in general has been on fire in recent years, and RWBY coming back to the slate with official Viz backing will only make it that much bigger, I feel.

Burnie Burns was the longtime voice actor of Church back in the day. I could see Red Vs Blue being one of the series brought back under the revitalized Rooster Teeth. Originally the show only had a season or two planned before they were done with it, so I’m curious what the future of the series will look like now.

[lyric jetty]

none of the former cast yet either, at the minute it's just Burnie and Ashely

[glass pike]

I can see a number of the classic voice actors returning for Red vs Blue myself, but only time will tell.

I see a number of people talking about Civ. I’ve never played a Sid Meier Civ game myself, but I used to be big into city sim games. One of my favorites on Xbox was Surviving Mars for the longest time, great game that one

[fiery python]

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/uk-retailer-currys-will-now-repair-xbox-consoles/

This is really good. A fairly reputable retailer and gives people the option to go get a repair there, rather than some ransom person at an independent game store and there's a lot of stores so many people will be close to one and be easier than shipping off to Microsoft.

[lyric jetty]

glad they included the regardless of where you bought it part

[glad axle]

Idk whats going on facebook but i always see those posts in xbox group with the playing game for free with gamepass and waiting for them to be on ps and buying them

These things

[glass pike]

Which Xbox group on Facebook?

[glad axle]

I aint allowed to post those types of links in here i believe

[glass pike]

I know this Discord is an official Xbox Discord, but I don’t think there are any official Xbox groups on Facebook, but back when I used Facebook as more than just a TikTok clone I was part of a few of the bigger Xbox groups on there

[halcyon dirge]

You already know it’s gonna sell well

[glad axle]

I just dont get why they say play with gamepass for 0$

[halcyon dirge]

Some people don’t want to have to buy multiple consoles just to play one game

[glad axle]

Bc 18 bucks a month aint free to me

[glass pike]

Well for $15 originally, now for $20, but still

[halcyon dirge]

It’s like £16 a month for me

[glass pike]

Vs $70 years later

[halcyon dirge]

Who tf getting it for 0

Yeah and these guys acting like it’s not on Steam either

$15 a month plus the console price

If you already have a PS5 you’re chilling

There’s not really much point in buying an Xbox now

Other than gamepass and day 1 games

[glass pike]

It is only relatively recently that Xbox decided to start porting their games to PlayStation. It’ll take years longer for the console war mentality to die out.

[glass pike]

Yeah, I am curious to see if this changes going forward myself and Xbox makes a bigger case for selling their hardware beyond exclusives, or if they’re fine with dwindling sales overall long as people are buying their games.

[glad axle]

I am leaving gamepass for ps plus

[halcyon dirge]

I enjoy playing both but I wouldn’t recommend a new player to buy an Xbox rn

Unless they wanted to

[halcyon dirge]

Eh if you have both gamepass is better

Day 1 games and stuff

[glass pike]

PS Plus is great if you’re a big PS fan, otherwise the only one really worth getting is the Essential tier

[glad axle]

I do not have enough money a month to buy both subscriptions

[halcyon dirge]

Premium has the movie streaming + classic games

[glad axle]

Im just getting ps plus essential

[halcyon dirge]

It’ll take a few years before the classic games are worth upgrading

I have premium rn and gamepass ultimate

[glass pike]

Yeah that’s why if you really use PS more than the higher tiers are worth it but otherwise only Essentials is really needed

[halcyon dirge]

I pay yearly for PS Plus, every Christmas Day lol

[glass pike]

I just have Gamepass Core myself. Works just fine for the purposes I need it for

[halcyon dirge]

I play bo6 so I need ultimate

What does ultimate give you again, gold?

[glass pike]

Gold became Core

[halcyon dirge]

So ultimate isn’t really worth it

[glass pike]

Core and Ultimate both give you online gaming access

[glad axle]

Core become the new gold
Ultimate is the highest tier giving access to all of gamepass on xbox and pc

[halcyon dirge]

Ah that’s it

[glass pike]

Ultimate gives you the full catalog plus PC and cloud options, so it depends on how you use it

[halcyon dirge]

I haven’t used it on PC yet

I have downloaded a few games though

[glass pike]

It also still comes with EA Play as well

[halcyon dirge]

I’m just waiting patiently for older cods to be added

A lot of people was misled on what the cod deal would be

Everyone thought every cod would be on gamepass, not just MW3 2023 and BO6

[glass pike]

Honestly probably gonna be waiting for a while at this point. I mean I get why they haven’t put any in yet: you don’t want to release a whole bunch of COD just to suck the attention out of any other games in Gamepass at the time, but none of the older CODs at this point is starting to feel a bit too conservative.

Why not just one older game every month or so? Doesn’t have to be all at once, but none after a year and half-ish of owning ABK feels like there’s something more going on there

[glad axle]

It isnt that easily done considering there are alot of titles they want to add to gamepass from third parties aswell

[halcyon dirge]

Idk Xbox has a weird business strategy

[glass pike]

Clearly it isn’t, hence why we’ve been waiting for a year and a half and will likely still be waiting for months if not years before we ever see any updates on that.

[halcyon dirge]

If they’re not all on by 2026 something is wrong

Doesn’t even have to be all the games

Tbh you can buy them cheap, I got BO2 on Friday for £12

[glad axle]

Tbh there are alot of cod games tho

[halcyon dirge]

Cheaper than a game pass monthly sub

[glass pike]

Aren’t there only two in Gamepass right now tho

[halcyon dirge]

Yes

MW3 and BO6

And Warzone if we count that but it’s free anyway

[glass pike]

Not having any of those coming to Gamepass… it seems like it’s going to be a while before we see ABK start to properly form into Xbox and start adding to the lineup beyond just new COD releases. Would love to be wrong there though

[glad axle]

Tbh i think one may be coming next month or the month after

[halcyon dirge]

I’ll probably just buy the games cheap second hand

They put an update out for BO2 recently which was weird

The game is hacked to death so could just be a security update

I was late to the 360 party

[fiery python]

Don't discuss things like that, please.

[glass pike]

Personally I wouldn’t rely on any Xbox news unless it comes straight from Xbox themselves

[halcyon dirge]

Oh I was just explaining why Bo2 was hacked a lot my bad

[glad axle]

No i am waiting for it but i just have a feeling it might

[halcyon dirge]

You could say that for anything in gaming

[glass pike]

It’s especially true with Xbox these days, they have so much in the lineup these days it’s easy to guess they’re making something and there’s a good chance that eventually you’ll be right

[fiery python]

They're not wrong, though. People have been saying old CoD games will be added to Game Pass within a week for over a year now, but still not happened.

[halcyon dirge]

People was just misled

[fiery python]

Wait for official announcements, always.

[halcyon dirge]

Not by Xbox or anything people just assumed

[fiery python]

Because they pay attention to the wrong sources and think Joe YouTuber knows all.

[glass pike]

Well, for Xbox, the next few months will see a Spring Partner preview and then an ID@Xbox showcase, but maybe a COD or two will be announced in one of the monthly Gamepass lineups.

[fiery python]

Or they listen to Clickbait Corden who throws enough crap at the wall, eventually something sticks.

That does not make him a reliable source.

[halcyon dirge]

Yeah there’s a lot of those twitter accounts who spew crap and are usually wrong and every now and then they’re right and they say “look I was right, believe me”

[glass pike]

Hey now, I like listening to Jez, thank you very much 😂🤣

[glad axle]

What are you guys excited for this year btw?

[halcyon dirge]

The most creditable source is Xbox themselves but even they lie every now and then

[glad axle]

Im most excited for fnaf finally coming to dbd

[glass pike]

Tbf if we’re throwing names out there it’s usually between Corden, Grubb, Henderson and Nik where many of the leaks come from these days

[halcyon dirge]

Doom Dark Ages, BO7

[fiery python]

With most of them, it's guesses rather than leaks, or trying to flex their sources and then end up being wrong.

[glass pike]

Well it usually isn’t a lie when they say it, but their plans can often change on a swivel so it feels like a lie. Inconsistency is a big issue that plagues Xbox these days tbf

[halcyon dirge]

I don’t listen to twitter anymore

[fiery python]

But we won't go further into leak discussion.

Wait for official announcements from Xbox, or the relevant publisher.

[glass pike]

From Xbox?

[vagrant mica]

The next COD has already been announced?

[glad axle]

In general

[glass pike]

I’m waiting for Advanced Warfare 2 from COD myself

[indigo jasper]

Hey guys I have a question about gifting

[glad axle]

I dont believe it has normally it happens in the last season of the game

[halcyon dirge]

Yeah like when Phil said that the games won’t be available on other consoles but now they’re becoming more and more accessible

[glad axle]

Shoot

[fiery python]

That's just a change in business plan.

[halcyon dirge]

It’s heavily hinted that the next game is a BO2 sequel

[glass pike]

A massive one at that

[green laurel]

But Joe never lied to me 😭

[glad axle]

No how dare joe lie to us :C

[halcyon dirge]

Lol Sledgehammer has been waiting for that for 10 years

They clearly wanna make AW2

[glass pike]

Can never tell with leakers these days tbf. Xbox has the most cooking normally though, so naturally they get the most reported on these days

[halcyon dirge]

Vanguard had AW weapons lmao

[glad axle]

So does mw3...

And bo6 just got ppsh

[glass pike]

I mean Sledgehammer is the black sheep of the COD family at this point, just let them make what they want to make already

[halcyon dirge]

I think AW is just like Ghosts, it’s dead

[glass pike]

Nah, many people actually enjoyed Advanced Warfare in comparison to Ghosts

Ghosts was just… nothing, seemingly. Like Black Ops 4 in that sense ☠️

[green laurel]

Sometimes can still find games on AW

[halcyon dirge]

Yeah but clearly Activision doesn’t want another AW, we would have gotten it years ago

[halcyon dirge]

I play it still lol

It’s on my Xbox dashboard

I still play BO2 as well

[green laurel]

Well bo2 is classic

[halcyon dirge]

AW was decent supply drops were an issue

[glass pike]

Feel like what Activision wants boils down to more money and they cannot just keep making Modern Warfare and Black Ops ad nauseam, and people seem burnt out on World War 2 games these days. AW2 is a natural next option. Or Infinite Warfare 2, which id also totally be down for

[halcyon dirge]

The bal obsidian steed was a supply drop weapon and it was unbeatable

[glass pike]

Too much to list right now admittedly 😂
But most recently, I am curious what the partner preview this spring will have for announcements

[halcyon dirge]

I wouldn’t mind both

[green laurel]

I think the black ops games have been most consistent

[glass pike]

Both is good

[halcyon dirge]

He’ll even Ghost 2 just Ghosts done right, no massive maps that make it seem like cod hide and seek

[glass pike]

Still can’t post gifs yet

[glad axle]

Only thing i aint that excited for is fnaf secrets of the mimic

[halcyon dirge]

I think, if you boost you can

[granite verge]

No

[glass pike]

Interesting, I’d argue the same for Modern Warfare and I generally prefer Black Ops. 3 & 4 felt like different series entirely tho. 4 was the one without a campaign even

This is a verified server, so we recommend you don't waste your boost.

[glass pike]

Been active for the past week now, but okay

I am Giveaway Eligible now which lets me react though

[halcyon dirge]

Is explorer a certain level?

[glad axle]

Yes

It takes some a few weeks to get it some a few months and some even a few years

[glass pike]

Activity is the indicator in this Discord, and you have to be Fitbit levels of active to gain gif and image privileges here

[halcyon dirge]

Damn

[glass pike]

That was a bad joke, basically you need to be active for a month or more it seems, posting a decent amount in here daily. Spam doesn’t work either so it has to be genuine

[halcyon dirge]

Yeah makes sense

[glass pike]

I mean I do get why the server has this set, this Discord has over 100,000 users in it, but it can be off-putting to newcomers admittedly. Price of preventing further spam it seems

[glad axle]

Its called determination and willpower

[indigo jasper]

Okay so anybody here want YouTube premium? It’s a free code. Only thing is you shouldn’t have started the free trial yet.

[fiery python]

Sadly some people post very inappropriate content if given the ability to do so, so we need to restrict it.

The few ruin it for the many.

[glad axle]

Sure ig

[halcyon dirge]

Yeah

[glass pike]

There’s a giveaway thread for that sort of stuff bud

[fierce kettle]

Hmm

[green laurel]

Someone say spam?

[glad axle]

Spam fried rice?

[green laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/spam-spam-lite-food-spinning-gif-17955332

[halcyon dirge]

Spam as in the meat?

[glass pike]

YOOOOOO

[green laurel]

Aww

[fierce kettle]

Figured I'd see what you kept talking about

[glass pike]

My man up in here 🔥

[fiery python]

And sometimes even with image perms, tenor goes nah, not today 😄

[halcyon dirge]

Mmm spam fritters

[glass pike]

It’s worth popping in every so often

[glass pike]

Spam musubi

[halcyon dirge]

Spam wasabi

[fierce kettle]

joined xbox era too

[glass pike]

Everyone, meet Blue. He’s the admin for the Xbox Two Discord, and a good bud of mine.

[halcyon dirge]

I have the blue see through Xbox controller and it’s gorgeous

[spiral shore]

[halcyon dirge]

I’m gonna get the red one as well

[green laurel]

Theres a xbox two? 😮

[glass pike]

Anchel was the one who introduced me to this Discord the first time around, actually

[green laurel]

Next xbox confirmed

[halcyon dirge]

Xbox Series Y

[spiral shore]

🤣

[fierce kettle]

It's much better than the Xbox One

[glass pike]

It’s an Xbox podcast

[halcyon dirge]

I’m waiting for the Xbox Series Gen Z

[green laurel]

Ah nice

[glass pike]

Hosted weekly by Rand Al Thor and Jez Corden. It’s good stuff

[green laurel]

Ohh that podcast

[halcyon dirge]

Jez Corden who

[fierce kettle]

I'm not biased or anything but it's pretty great

[halcyon dirge]

James Corden you mean

[desert sonnet]

Rand is the guy who doesn't use spices right 😏

[glass pike]

Says the guy who runs their Discord ☠️
Nah it’s super chill over there though

[fiery python]

I do hope they use a decent naming convention for their next console(s).

[green laurel]

Good one rhinne

[glass pike]

Plain chicken with salt ☠️

[halcyon dirge]

I remember the Xbox 720 jokes

[glass pike]

Jez Corden and BEANS, for any former Twitter peeps 🫘

[halcyon dirge]

Ah 2012 jokes better times

[fierce kettle]

unironically a much better name than what we got

[halcyon dirge]

Yeah Series X is an ok name though

[fierce kettle]

Xbox 360, Xbox 720, Xbox 1080, Xbox 1440 and so on

[green laurel]

Im really glad it wasmt called xbox 720

Or it would be forever known as xbox 720p

[fierce kettle]

werent the xbox one usually targetting like 900p anyways tho

[green laurel]

Roughly yeah some were 720p

[glass pike]

Pop in every so often Blue, you’ll meet the admins of this thread over time. Sam and Deeke are usually the most prolific on here, although I’ve only been truly active on here for about a week

[halcyon dirge]

Yes but then we could have gotten the Xbox 1440p

[glass pike]

Btw all admins here are official Xbox employees, so please do not spam them with everything that is wrong with Halo these days ☠️
(I kid)

[fierce kettle]

Xbox One X called of been called the Xbox 1080 then with the Series S being the Xbox 1440 and Series X being the Xbox 3840 😅

[green laurel]

Lol

[glass pike]

Getting to Nvidia levels here now

[fierce kettle]

you mean like how Halo is gonna rise from the ashes and take the world by storm again

[glass pike]

There you go, there’s the belief

[halcyon dirge]

The next one should just be Xbox 2

[green laurel]

Just call it xbox 6

[fierce kettle]

I thought my windowscentral article on halo was quite positive too

[fiery python]

They wouldn't go for that the same reason they didn't call the 360 the Xbox 2. It makes it seem weaker than the PS (whatever number).

[fierce kettle]

This is what i want

[green laurel]

Thst reasoning is gone after xbox 1 😄

[glass pike]

It’s ironic too as they arguably gave up that fight a while back imo

[fierce kettle]

Xbox 6, right in line with PS6 and then Xbox Portable or something

[glass pike]

Xbox “Prime” ☠️

[fiery python]

They could go with a themed name for the handheld. Call it something like the Xbox Go.

[halcyon dirge]

Next one can be Xobx

[glass pike]

Still remember when that was floating around

[desert sonnet]

Xbox Pro

[glass pike]

NextBox

[halcyon dirge]

Xbox Pro Fortnite

[fierce kettle]

I think they should just be straightforward and upfront and just call it Xbox Portable

[halcyon dirge]

That’s unironically good as a placeholder lol

[glass pike]

XPad

Wow, autocorrect did not like that suggestion at all 😂🤣

[halcyon dirge]

It will be something corny like Xbox Anywhere

[green laurel]

Wait a minute xbox runs off windows. Xbox portable.....

Windows XP!

[fierce kettle]

Simpler times

[glad axle]

Next prime soul in ultrakill?

[plain parrot]

mvc on xbox 🙏 we’re so back

[glass pike]

MS DOS days

[halcyon dirge]

Microsoft sues Xbox

Gaming fans: “Wait a minute?”

[glad axle]

That dont sound right

[desert sonnet]

Xbox Pocket. Then it'll be marketed like the switch commercial where they put the switch in their humongous back pocket

[halcyon dirge]

Bill Gates lost his mind

Xbox Go

[glass pike]

I think that one’s already self taken cause of Xbox Play Anywhere

[green laurel]

If people leave Microsofts comsole to go to another

It becomes a Exbox

[vague verge]

real funny

im laughing my balls off

[glad axle]

Why did i actually laugh at this lmao

[glass pike]

way some people treat Xbox’s that just feels right at this point. Ex-Box ☠️

[vague verge]

ive had my xbox for so long now
i am not leaving it.

[glass pike]

Same. I’ve got a big digital library built up so I’ll always have an Xbox until they shut down access to my own games on my own console

[green laurel]

Same

[spiral shore]

same I been here to long to leave lol

[green laurel]

And people like rhinne practically own a server worth of games

[fiery python]

Yeah, I'm not going to bail on a library of over 2,000 games.

[glad axle]

I now got a exbox since im leaving for ps5

[fierce kettle]

excited by the idea of playing my full xbox library on the go

[glass pike]

Let’s see, at this point it says I have… 535 games digitally on console these days.

[fierce kettle]

if that came with the ability to play my steam library too 😩

[fierce kettle]

Think I have around 750ish

[desert sonnet]

What if you didn't have PC PlayStation Switch and Xbox? Which console would you pick

[fierce kettle]

Atari

[glass pike]

Depends on what you’re looking for, really

[fierce kettle]

Dreamcast tho fr

[glad axle]

Playstation

[glass pike]

The classic retro days

[glass pike]

1. The og

[glad axle]

Nummer 5 ofc

[desert sonnet]

I feel like I'd just choose whichever one my friends and family were on

[green laurel]

I miss the wii

[glad axle]

I got one in a bag in my room xd

[glass pike]

That’s always a safe bet. Nintendo’s got the PG 13 exclusives, PS has the big movie like games, Xbox has Gamepass and solid deals

[glass pike]

The Wii was by far the most family centric console ever made. Guitar Hero and Rock Band on the Wii was nuts man 🔥

[desert sonnet]

Ooo that's true. Nevermind then I'd choose Xbox just for gamepass alone 😆

[glass pike]

Hey, some people prefer the cheap access to games, that’s why it’s still around

Plenty of great games to be played on Gamepass

[limber carbon]

Xbox

[glass pike]

Sega box

[glad axle]

I like ps more atm bc of the controllers and games like spiderman

[glass pike]

I’ve considered PS as a secondary console before, but nothing’s moved the needle for me yet. Horizon was the closest. Intergalactic may for me, but I need to see more. Plus I’d only buy it purely for the exclusives so I know I wouldn’t get heavy use out of it.

[fierce kettle]

I was super into the idea of xbox rebranding the xbox in japan to the dreamcast or something sega related

[glass pike]

Wonder if that could still happen in the future

[glad axle]

Im prob making my series s the secondary and ps5 my primary

[vague verge]

[fierce kettle]

in a world where xbox acquired sega over abk then maybe

[glass pike]

Like I think it really depends how much you’re invested up front on Xbox already. If not much, the switch is easier. Physical players likely also have more reason to switch to PS over Xbox these days. Although for those of use who already have big libraries on Xbox, I can’t see many going to PS as their new main console if they have 100+ games they own digitally on Xbox already

[glad axle]

I got 100+ games on xbox but i think ill like the ps5 more

[spiral shore]

this is why I just play on all 3 lol

[glass pike]

Then there’s always that option for those who can afford it 😂🤣

[glad axle]

I aint getting rid of the xbox its just that the ps5 looks cooler to me

[glass pike]

And of course there’s the PC bros

[spiral shore]

I mean why not just have both loll like a lot of us in here do

Love my pc also lol

[limber carbon]

I can afford a PS -it just not worth it for me.
I would rather splurge on a switch then a PS.

[glass pike]

ngl, I hate the look of the PS5. It’s better horizontal than vertical supposedly, yet it looks so unnatural that way. The PS4 looked perfect imo

[glass pike]

Cause money 💰

[desert sonnet]

Ooo Invincible season 3 is out

[glass pike]

If only all of us could afford all the systems, the world would be a better place 🫠

Need to finish season 2 myself

[glad axle]

I got a switch series s and ps4 soon to be ps5

[fiery python]

I like to play on all platforms, but Xbox is my main one.

[spiral shore]

same

[glass pike]

I have a Series X and Switch myself. The Switch is my second, but I still love the hybrid.

I’ve had an Xbox and Nintendo console/handheld ever since I was a tween, it’s basically tradition at this point for me

[spiral shore]

had a Xbox since 2003 still have my OG 360 on the shelf I need to re get another OG xbox

[glad axle]

Just finished the boss rush in ultrakill it was super hard

[glass pike]

I started with Nintendo, but got into Xbox with the og Xbox as a tween. Had both ever since. Had my og Xbox up until recently, but I’m not a collector and don’t have the space for such, so I finally got rid of it last year

[vague verge]

i hope yall burn in hell (only hugh)

[fierce kettle]

I've been very lucky to have every major console since the sega megadrive up until this gen cause I just dont see a reason to own a PS5

[glad axle]

Hell will be burning because of me
Thats how hot i am xd

[spiral shore]

😂

[vague verge]

bruv

[glad axle]

Sorry for statin facts

[glass pike]

I do find it ironic that Spider-Man is a PS exclusive when up until halfway last gen it was on everything. The new games look great by all means but idk, just feels weird having the Spider restricted to one console and later for PC, Spidey ain’t enough to make me get a PS

[fierce kettle]

Sony wins by putting xbox out of business

[glass pike]

I still remember playing the original Spider-Man 2 on the og Xbox, now that one was a classic 🔥

[lunar tartan]

Hello

[fierce kettle]

i had it on ps2

[glad axle]

Heya kat

[glass pike]

I’m curious how all that will play out next gen, idk the more I look and listen to the wider community the more I realize it seems Xbox is too stubborn to just walk away from all this. Sony has their work cut out for them if that’s still their end goal

[fierce kettle]

I'll be 30 by then, idk if i'll have the energy to keep up with the drama by then

[glass pike]

Cut yourself off from it then, just keep up with your buds and the games. No need for the drama, there arguably never has been a need for it

[glass pike]

Marketing beats man

[fierce kettle]

my friends prefer to drink haha but who knows might quiet down by then

[glass pike]

Hey, no one says you can’t drink and play, I’ve heard gaming while wasted is quite the experience ☠️

🍻

[fiery python]

As long as it's not VR gaming. That doesn't mix well with drinking...

[glass pike]

The real drunk goggles there 🤮

[glad axle]

You think you are drinking when you play a game while having motion sickness

[fierce kettle]

might do tonight

[upper tartan]

falling asleep in party and vr are different feelings and vibes xD

[glass pike]

Tag actual drinking with that and it’s like your own personal hell after a while I’d imagine 🤣😂☠️

[glad axle]

Bro it would prob feel like hell xd

[glass pike]

I’m sorry, “falling asleep in vr”? ☠️

[upper tartan]

yeah from drinking to much xD

[glass pike]

Tbf I have heard the Quest 3 ain’t as bad with burning your eyes as the Quest 2 was

[glad axle]

I might have that happen while being sober

[glass pike]

Man, sleeping with that thing on, you’d have to be truly wasted for that

[upper tartan]

least in a party the friends will giggle and put u in a solo party. in vr u might wake up with someones avatar beside u xD

[glad axle]

Imagine you fall asleep while playing a horror game

And all of a sudden JUMPSCARE

Nightmare nightmare

[glass pike]

All right, imma bow out for now. ✌️

[trail harness]

I had a dream involving these dangos last night

[cerulean basin]

Well, now we have PopTropical AND Blue here, will you look at that 😛

[fierce kettle]

How do I become blue like you haha

[cerulean basin]

Also, I want to point out HYPED I am that Mackenyu (Zoro in Netflix's One Piece) is voicing one of the characters in Assassin's Creed Shadows 😄 Honestly had no idea till an hour ago!
