general-chat

[wanton jolt]

GTA is not a replayable game also

[modest onyx]

The only MS game im looking forward to is fh6 tbh
Even tho they have a good lineup ahead like table and outer worlds 2
With the new pricing I can only buy one lol
Since I would normally go for the ultimate edition

[south beacon]

I played a few hours of Borderlands 1, and decided to give 2 a try, since people kept nagging me to play that one

[stray beacon]

It is tho, I've replayed the story countless times in V

[prime valve]

for you

[bold monolith]

tbh I’m happy gta 6 is being delayed

[queen lotus]

Oh yeah. Without a doubt. But I’m a fan and will still pick bl4 over gta.

[wanton jolt]

Ok we can agree to disagree, it's not like a fire contest you know, I'm glad you enjoy GTA V and that's great

[modest onyx]

It is like a comfort game for many people which they run when they are unable to decide what to play just to drive around and shoot others
Even tho I'd rather play anything else for driving that's what people like gta for

I personally could never complete a gta game
It doesn't feel much fun

[bold monolith]

before yall come at me with pitchforks and torches I say that because that helps games like Subnautica 2 and kindergarten 3 which are both scheduled for 2025

[queen lotus]

It should be when they release online mode.

[south beacon]

There's a good handful of Xbox projects I deeply care about, most notably are Outer Worlds 2, Everwild (more to see what kind of game it is), Perfect Dark, E-Day, the unknown game from Toys For Bob, Contraband (there's a chance that game has been shut down), Clockwork Revolution, Blade, ES6, and any non-COD project from Activision

[wanton jolt]

No GTA 6 getting delayed is good there's other projects this year still to come.

[south beacon]

But there's opportunity

[prime valve]

lol

[long maple]

what like Silksong gonna release then. that would be a miracle

[south beacon]

i got news regarding that

[wanton jolt]

Silksong is coming

[south beacon]

https://www.ign.com/articles/hollow-knight-silksong-will-be-playable-in-september-2025-at-an-australian-museum

[long maple]

yeah I saw that

[wanton jolt]

at an australian museum LOL

they really tryna make the fans mad

[long maple]

I read news daily on Twitter

[south beacon]

A lot of people online started to talk about going back to their backlog, or buying older games as an alternative to buying new games

[modest onyx]

Yeah they are good
But seeing the new pricing
Games are going to cost like 1/5th of the average persons income per month in my country
So it's natural in not american countries people can't play all of them including me
So just one title remains which I would be buying🥲
Tho i might try outerworld 2 on gamepass if it has good reviews

[south beacon]

80 dollars is a lot of money, especially with tax

[long maple]

I got plenty of backlog, even if you gave me 5 years with no new releases I would never finish all of it

[south beacon]

It's possibly true Paul

[prime valve]

is xbox gonna upgrade the performance of the consoles now?

[wanton jolt]

in 2027 at least

[south beacon]

Give me a count of how many games you got in your backlog, and of them give me a percentage of games you expect are 100+ hours to complete

[prime valve]

so whats the point 😭

[long maple]

new main console and a handheld is expected by Xbox

[modest onyx]

Same
Entire PS4 is my backlog as I had quit gaming to focus on upskilling
I'm set for 4-5 years if I play in moderation

[south beacon]

for me it's probably no more than 20 games that I know are over 100 hours (Halo MCC, State of Decay 2 are some that come to mind)

I did Death Stranding, which people say is a 100 hour game but that took my 74 hours to platinum

I counted around 76 in my backlog, and I know I'm missing some titles

I try to update that spreadsheet every three months

[long maple]

I got burnt out on open-world games, like collectibles to me are so annoying where they hide stuff on edge of map. I play more indie over AAA anyway

[modest onyx]

I haven't purchased all the games I would want to play
But I have 80% of rdr2 remaining
Then cyberpunk, god of war 2018, gtaV, ori and the will of wisps, batman AK, split fiction, lords of the fallen

[south beacon]

I probably plan to do 2 open world games a year, and I have to do them as two different types of games

[prime valve]

gimmi some fun indie games please

[south beacon]

Like you have Arkham Knight on one end, and Horizon ZD on the other end

I tried with AC Origins, I just can't get into it

[hearty plinth]

was that after 7 years of development?

[wild elk]

Why did i get banned from the forza discord server i havent even said anything in the server lol

[prime valve]

you sure?

[wild elk]

Yes

[fiery python]

No one here could help with that.

[modest onyx]

Inside, firewatch, first berserker khazan, stray, hollowknight

[prime valve]

that sucks man

[wild elk]

Yh ik

Could it be my pfp?

[prime valve]

thanks man. These are on xbox right?

[fiery python]

We don't know. Please don't bring issues from other servers here.

[wanton jolt]

Thank Goodness You're Here!, Still Wakes The Deep, Cocoon, Balatro, Journey, Stanley Parable

[wild elk]

Ok i wont

[modest onyx]

Yes but stray is not on gamepass
You'll have to buy it seperately

[prime valve]

thanks!

[modest onyx]

I'm not sure if khazan is either
But others are

[prime valve]

thats fine

[south beacon]

Portal 1 and 2 (i like to think of them as indies) Superlimal, Subnautica, Inside, Limbo, Undertale, Hades

[long maple]

isnt Kill it with fire 2 releasing this year

[valid pendant]

When may 26 comes it gon get push back to 2027

[wanton jolt]

Oh are you looking at Game Pass, if you are Blue Prince that came out recently is pretty nice

[south beacon]

"My grandad works for Rockstar and he's level 7 Million in GTA 6 and already has GTA 7"

How come it doesn’t open the game cards anymore when clicking it?

[south beacon]

Speaking of Rockstar, Mindseye is an upcoming game this June from the director of GTA 5

https://mindseye.game/

if you pre order the game (60 USD) you do get the season pass

[wanton jolt]

that always gets promoted to me on insta

[shrewd onyx]

[vivid eagle]

i am very good english today

[full pewter]

[vivid eagle]

[full pewter]

that one is good u wanna know a cool fact abt that scene?

[vivid eagle]

without a redbull

[vivid eagle]

ye

[full pewter]

the actors were moving so fast the camera man had to slow it down because of how much they practiced the fight

[vivid eagle]

very cool

[hearty plinth]

prefer a new hope but empire strikes back is good

[full pewter]

ESB is just my comfort movie like i watch wenever im sick

chat question whats yalls comfort game?

[tender iris]

do elite controllers last longer than regular ones as in better build quality

[full pewter]

imo yea i had my elite for over 2 years hasn't broken or anything yet imo worth the buy

[keen forge]

How late am I to the GTA 6 news

[vivid eagle]

ive got the skywalker saga 27 disc set

[full pewter]

theres new news abt it?

[keen forge]

It’s delayed to next year May

[full pewter]

oh thank god

😭 i have time to upgrade before it comes out

but also i feel like it better that its getting delayed imo

[normal delta]

Only 1 year and 24 days until it releases guys

[full pewter]

they have more time to work on it and polish it

i rather them take their time then give it to us and its all buggy

[vivid eagle]

ive got the the akywalker saga limited edition complete box set UHD

[wanton jolt]

GTA6 is coming out around the same time as Avengers Doomsday

[full pewter]

i just use disney plus

[vivid eagle]

ive got all the discs of every star wars movie

[tired hare]

coincidence? I think not!

[wanton jolt]

They might put CJ in the avengers

Big Smoke going you didn't catch the train that Doom was in

[tired hare]

CJ I need you to distract Kang

[half hazel]

wow big delay

[hearty plinth]

Its not that big. It went from q3/q4 2025 to early q2 2026

[fiery python]

It's six months. That's quite a big delay.

[normal delta]

So without sounding stupid I’m kinda glad GTA 6 has got delayed until next year and now has an official release date for next year

It means we will finally get some game announcement release dates for the massive list of games that still just a have a “2025 release date” with no actual date yet

[south beacon]

i think he meant the child inside of him

Like we all have this version of ourselves that we describe as this "_ year old me" for how we react to stuff

[fiery python]

They didn't - and we moved on from this already.

[fossil orbit]

Where was I pigned lmao

[south beacon]

dms

[fiery python]

The giveaway

[fossil orbit]

Ooooo I totally forgot about that, hehe.

[smoky sorrel]

Hi! I need help. When I want to join a game, that interface where you buy the game appears, do you have any idea how I can disable it? I can send the picture privately

[full pewter]

she*

thx:/

[fiery python]

There's an option in the settings to disable it.

[smoky sorrel]

but it's so annoying, I can't stand it at all 😭

[fiery python]

So turn it off.

[smoky sorrel]

How

[fiery python]

The option in the settings.

[south beacon]

i remember 8 year old me would set challenges to get a game and beat it the fastest way possible. it took me months when I was probably 5 or 6 for NSMB, then I did it again at 8 and it took me two weeks. Then I did a Mario vs DK game and said "Mom I finished that game in less than one week. Buy me another one"

[smoky sorrel]

Where

[fiery python]

I don't recall exactly where it is, but there's not that many options to look through to find it.

[south beacon]

These days, I'm like "just finish already. unlock! UNLOCK!!!!! I have too many to go through"

Back in the day, I never had a backlog. It was sometime after I got xbox and Ps5 that it just...grew

[vivid eagle]

yo rhinne thanks for muting me for saying ive eaten a food you dont like me talking about even though youve most likely never tried it

[fiery python]

If you have an issue with moderation matters, feel free to DM modmail. Otherwise, keep it out of the server channels, please.

[vivid eagle]

its not an issue i just wanna know why

[smoky sorrel]

Man,that thing when i open a game is so annoying

[granite verge]

You can DM Modmail to discuss it further

[smoky sorrel]

I don't know how to disable it, it's very annoying and I can't find any settings.

[vivid eagle]

what is it?

[smoky sorrel]

I cant send photos here

[vivid eagle]

dm me it i can prolly help or jist explain it

[smoky sorrel]

Check dm, I sent it there

[smoky sorrel]

Done

[normal delta]

ONLY 389 DAYS UNTIL GTA 6 RELEASES 🚨

[fiery python]

Check in Settings > Preferences

It's still an insider update and I left the insider program, so I don't have the option on my console to see exactly where it is, but it should be there somewhere.

[vivid eagle]

not for pc users sadly:(

[smoky sorrel]

I'm curious when it will be released on PC.

[vagrant mica]

Doubt they will wait too long because of how many players there are on PC

[vivid eagle]

abt 2026 or 2027

most likeley

[tired hare]

definitely at some point

[vivid eagle]

or they will just make a quick port onto pc and make the keyboard act as a controller then change keypresses and mouse clicks and stuff

to the right controls

or actually care about pc playersp

[hearty plinth]

they wont do that

[smoky sorrel]

Nothing

[vivid eagle]

prolly not but i overthink alot especially eeith a game coming out soon

[hearty plinth]

they rcenetly released the enchanced version of gta 5 on pc in march

not soon

soon means in a few months for me.

[vivid eagle]

ye well it is a few months

till gta6

[hearty plinth]

a while means over a year

which gta 6 is

[vivid eagle]

it said this yr

[hearty plinth]

no may 2026

[vivid eagle]

gta7 prolly coming out in 2042

[vivid eagle]

so they postponed it again bru like last month it said mid this ye

yr*

[hearty plinth]

thye just announced it today

[silver gale]

Can anyone help me completing a mission of gears 5?

https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/258aa538o412ok/grand-theft-auto-vi-is-now-coming-may-26-2026

[hearty plinth]

or u can ask in #pc-gaming

[vivid eagle]

ik quite a bit abt pcs

u can dm if i want

[summer tiger]

How to gain nothing

[vivid eagle]

fr type for 2 min and i get ". "

[hollow dune]

With prices going up in the console space i figured if I'm gonna pay big money i may as well jump to pc. But if the most strenuous games I play are open world stuff and monster hunter wilds do I need a 4060.

I could go with AMD if it's more affordable

[vagrant mica]

Not tryna burst your bubble but 4060 is low end

[normal delta]

457 days for you!

[vivid eagle]

nah u dont also u can check the specs u need for a game in the description

[vivid eagle]

fr?

[fiery python]

It's the most strenuous game you play now. If you're buying/building a PC you need to plan ahead.

[normal delta]

Idk I’m just joking lol

[vivid eagle]

aww man

[upper tartan]

4060 is good as a back up nowadays standards @hollow dune

[hearty plinth]

no. nothing has been announced for pc release yet

[hollow dune]

I could probably skate by with 3080 for awhile maybe

[vivid eagle]

ye i jave a 4060 oc and it runs the new oblivion game on everything max at 90 fps

[hearty plinth]

with upscaling

[wanton jolt]

I will buy the 6090 for GTA6 on PC, it makes sense

[upper tartan]

lol perfect sense

[vivid eagle]

when i get the monry imma get a 5080

[hollow dune]

There's a 6090?

[hearty plinth]

nho.

[vivid eagle]

no

[vagrant mica]

Probably in the future

[vivid eagle]

in 2 yrs prolly

[hearty plinth]

the 60 series wont release til at least 2027

[upper tartan]

but thought u was poor

[vivid eagle]

i feel like 4090 only came out in 2023

[hollow dune]

A 4060 or 70 machine might be my best bet

[vivid eagle]

ye when i get the money cos imma save up

[upper tartan]

going to be a while tbh they aint cheap

[hearty plinth]

im assuming u got a decent pc rin? or no?

[vagrant mica]

My PC was like £4k for a 4090 system

[young fog]

I got a 3080ti so im fine for the time being, might upgrade when 6000series drop or something. Kinda depends how the new Battlefield will run on my PC as thats my main PC game

[vivid eagle]

yes def also if u want a pc for a specific game jist check the specs of the main game u wanna play just get whats reccomended for the games you play

[wanton jolt]

That's when GTA6 comes out on PC

[hollow dune]

I wish, the aside from consoles, the best I got is a steamdeck

[wanton jolt]

that's why it makes sense to get it then

[upper tartan]

@vivid eagle and with the other things if usa based it might be a tad more

[hearty plinth]

then u either need to build ur pc or buy a prebuilt if u going with a desktop which would cost a lot more than a console

[vivid eagle]

what gpu is thstv

[upper tartan]

the 5080

[vivid eagle]

oh ye ive already got a whole new setup for 6k

[upper tartan]

xD

[hollow dune]

I thought about a laptop for the sake of space for now. I heard Lenovo and Asus is good

[vivid eagle]

thats the exact one i was gonna get lol

[hollow dune]

I wonder if Toshiba went under, it feels like they vanished

[upper tartan]

odd to say ur poor but and struggle with food but can struggle bus for that gpu thats something else ngl

[hearty plinth]

really?

[vivid eagle]

i got my priorities straight

[wanton jolt]

damn toshiba, next you gonna talk about Compaq

[hollow dune]

Lol as far as I know Compaq is gone

[wanton jolt]

well i'd say survial is better than gpu xD i had to push back a project to get a ac for example only a month but stings a bit always the same something breaks when u think u can get away with big spend projects

[vivid eagle]

my first gpu was smthn like a gt 970 and then a 1060 turbo now a rtx 4060

[split fog]

why consoles have become more expensive?

[merry palm]

[granite verge]

Probably need to catch the VoD, but looking forward to hearing about it

[wild elk]

dayum ur house must be a prison

[merry palm]

idk if you noticed but everything is more expensive.

[vivid eagle]

basically yeah

[long maple]

[gloomy drum]

I have a Xbox serires s

[vivid eagle]

[gloomy drum]

What is your Favourite gams

[merry palm]

oooh ok lol

[vivid eagle]

ye same number basically

[merry palm]

right now my game obsession is Blue Prince.

[split herald]

Iceland is pretty good

[merry palm]

i cant stop playing it

[long maple]

the slogan used to be "thats why mums, go to iceland " they dropped that awhile back 😄

[hearty plinth]

u put what like 100 hours into it tes?

[merry palm]

lol not quite

i think i am around 50

[wanton jolt]

going to Iceland for a drink is probably cheaper than going to any part of UK taking a train for a drink tbf

[split fog]

I would understand if they changed the price when there was a new console.I'll just buy a switch 2.For such a price buying an xbox series x is debatable

[dark yoke]

Nice, that’s why mums go to Iceland ✅

[long maple]

lol

[covert gorge]

Makes sense

[tired hare]

Fortnite

[covert gorge]

Blue prince

[keen forge]

Black knight

[split fog]

we thought that switch 2 would cost the same as xbox series x but 100 bucks cheaper

[merry palm]

i never thought that, and even before the cost increase it wasnt the same price...

maybe if you bought a used one..

[tired hare]

is it bad tht my favourite game is Fortnite?

[merry palm]

nope

you like what you like

[covert gorge]

I would rather upgrade my pc than buy the switch 2

[wanton jolt]

if the part you are upgrading is $450

[merry palm]

i want the new switch eventually. but im not in a rush for one

[gloomy drum]

My name in Xbox is Egemen18

[merry palm]

hoping for a cute version

[long maple]

my favourite is the Trials games played all 4, wonder if they will make anymore doubtful though

[tired hare]

I find fortnite is a really social game, it's great for meeting people and chatting with new/current friends, and it's pretty accessible to most people with any console or decent PC

[merry palm]

im still hoping for a new starcraft. never lose hope paul!

[gloomy drum]

I love Lego Batman 2

[tired hare]

i do silly parkour creative maps with friends

[split fog]

700 bucks doesn't seem that expensive, it's just that consoles have always been cheaper than PC gaming

[tired hare]

I have Lego Batman in Fortnite!

[gloomy drum]

I love Pokémon Bloody Platin

On diş

[south beacon]

governments want money, i dunno

[merry palm]

that is still cheaper than pc gaming

[split fog]

This is the first time that the price has not become lower, but on the contrary

[tired hare]

idk what platin is but my name is Latin 😎

[gloomy drum]

Ok

[south beacon]

it sucks. I hope it gets rectified soon

[merry palm]

brb, gotta do a job thing

[vagrant mica]

Games are a lot cheaper on pc at least

[gloomy drum]

Pokémon Black is expensive

[south beacon]

Saw a post where apparently the imports of lights cost the company a LOT more than all the CO's salaries combined

[trail harness]

I like PC because input lag feels way lower

[tired hare]

my bank is gonna hate me when i buy Ghost Of Yotei, Death Stranding 2 and Doom The Dark Ages this thursday

[gloomy drum]

İn oto

Otto

[south beacon]

In the case of console manufacturing, they are built overseas

[cerulean basin]

I'm sure the bank will be thrilled you're using their services to move money around

[tired hare]

every single time they lock my card for fraudelunt activity and i have to awkwardly call at 2am to explain xD

[split fog]

I know but damn

[trail harness]

banks only "hate" you when you leave a negative balance for too long

or break their ToS

[tired hare]

do banks get like a commision when i buy stuff using their cards?

[trail harness]

Transaction fees exist for using payment cards

[fiery python]

They get interest off your money in your account.

[split fog]

they actually increased the price of the console because of gta 6

[south beacon]

i just spent 600 dollars on something I'm not proud of

and I have to spend 2,000 in June

[trail harness]

I am 99% sure GTA 6 is unrelated to the price hikes

[tired hare]

I also have interest in getting money in my account 🤣

[south beacon]

found out that my property taxes have increased dramatically

[gusty storm]

Yall fw playstation?

[south beacon]

and I owed the IRS for the first time

[cerulean basin]

Both the banks and the card issuer (eg. VISA or MasterCard) get a commision for every purchase that you make using their card

[tired hare]

what's fw? Forbidden West? haven't played that one yet

[tired hare]

good to know, thanks

[desert sonnet]

It means curse word and then the word with

[tired hare]

oh

[cerulean basin]

What does that have to do with GTA6? The game is still a ways to go, and Sony has been increasing their prices for the console long before this as well.

[south beacon]

but recently they are forced due to have everyone wants more money

[trail harness]

tfw you wait for a price drop, and the price goes up instead

[south beacon]

So I think that while 2025 and 2026 will be a great year for gaming, it will also bring about a huge crash in the market

[vagrant mica]

Hmm, should I get a papa johns today

[cerulean basin]

They didn't increase the prices because they want to earn more money.
They increased the prices because it has become more expensive to produce the consoles for a variety of reasons, and as such they have to adjust the retail price.

[south beacon]

Matter of fact, anything with ties to manufacturing overseas, will suffer a crash. Which makes up pretty large chunks of the consumer market

[trail harness]

perhaps. They have good pizza.

You should get a glass of hot oj

[vagrant mica]

I only have orange squash unfortunately

[tired hare]

idk if you got a dominos near you but they got an offer for B1G1F large pizzas for £12

[south beacon]

with a side of Claptrap

[upper meteor]

Hello anchel

[south beacon]

Hey Icky

[desert sonnet]

Morning mornin

[south beacon]

I feel visibly hotter

[upper meteor]

Hey trippy, eclipseful

[cerulean basin]

Dominos has opened and shut down all of their restaurants here twice already 😛

[south beacon]

like a fridge

[hearty plinth]

why?

[upper meteor]

That's not good.. dominos is the best why would they have to close down 😭

[south beacon]

a fridge to me is like a revolving door

opens and closes frequently

[upper meteor]

A fridge to me is like a cold place

[hearty plinth]

agreed

[south beacon]

because NY Style Pizza is better

[cerulean basin]

Bad sanitary conditions the first time.
Then they reopened, but the public trust was completely gone, so they shut down due to not having enough clients.

[south beacon]

I should see how much a slice of pizza is in NY rn

[hearty plinth]

i never had deep dish chicago style

[south beacon]

5 bucks??

[hearty plinth]

i live in nyc

[upper meteor]

Ohhhhhhhh

[south beacon]

Why am I paying for a bear patrol tax??

[upper meteor]

Ok that's understandable

[hearty plinth]

ny style is pentiful for me lol

[split fog]

we can't talk about politics here.

[gusty storm]

Top 3 best games on GP ?

[desert sonnet]

Do you deal with bears frequently?

[hearty plinth]

thats not politics

[south beacon]

that doesn't even got to do with politics

[upper meteor]

Halo MCC, halo wars 1, halo wars 2, halo infinite

[cerulean basin]

Who said anything about politics? We're talking about Sony having increased the price of PS5 consoles before in the past. Not even talking about this year.

[south beacon]

Control, Outer Worlds, Sunset Overdrive

[gusty storm]

Very unbiased bro 😅

[hearty plinth]

varies from player to player tbh

[vagrant mica]

Expedition 33 is a good one

[split fog]

the price of everything has become more expensive because of one mister

[upper meteor]

Definitely, I give the most unbiased opinions here

[sweet sluice]

https://www.theverge.com/news/660057/grand-theft-auto-6-release-date-delay-may-2026
Looks like Expedition 33 will Goty this year

[split fog]

I'm talking about xbox

[dark yoke]

Not heard of Expedition 33 - is it good?

[cerulean basin]

Sure, and the market conditions is a far broader topic than politics. Inflation, production costs, etc.

[sweet sluice]

Its breaking records

Me personally, its my goty.

[cerulean basin]

Haven't started it yet, but everything points to it being one of the biggest success stories this year, especially seeing how small of a studio it is

[dark yoke]

I’ll have to YouTube it later

[fiery python]

From the little I've played, it's a good game.

[dark yoke]

Ah fair enough, hopefully it’s my type of game.

[cerulean basin]

It's a studio formed by former Ubisoft employees, they made a JRPG-style game, with plenty of twists, and more realistic visuals

[split fog]

I would understand if they had a new Xbox that cost 700 bucks or 800 bucks, but not an Xbox that is 5 years old.

[dark yoke]

Interesting

[dark yoke]

Similar to Uncharted or no?

[fiery python]

Gorgeous graphics

[cerulean basin]

Uncharted is not a JRPG 😛

[fiery python]

It's a turn-based game.

[dark yoke]

Then I’ll have to watch some videos on it 😭

[dark yoke]

Like Pokemon?

[vagrant mica]

It’s very different to other turn based games

[upper meteor]

Me realizing my teammates in halo have (1), (2), (3), next to their usernames

[vagrant mica]

There’s parrying and dodging

[split fog]

I'm not offended that the console costs 700 bucks, I'm offended by the fact that they raised the price

[fiery python]

More like Final Fantasy

[desert sonnet]

Oh god. I do not like that

[cerulean basin]

Final Fantasy before they went into real-time combat

But with Mario RPG-like timed reactions

[vagrant mica]

The game is also challenging

[split fog]

tries to endure and forget

[upper meteor]

It's like a debuff, you gotta try even harder just to save those guys' sleepover or party

[desert sonnet]

Though it is hilarious when the (1) is better than the original

[upper meteor]

That has only happened to me once

[cerulean basin]

I'm sure you'll understand no company wants to actually continuously lose money, so if the market conditions change, they have to adjust prices

[upper meteor]

I don't know exactly when, but I remember seeing a (1) be better than the original dude

[south beacon]

the topic is just incredibly hard not to talk about. what can be said is that the past 5 years there were a lot of contributing factors that led to a moment such as now

[south beacon]

the fact the 2TB model had jumped to 730 tells me something

Clearly, it's that extreme. And Xbox generally loses money on each console sold, but it must be REALLY bad

[split fog]

I don't know, the price for the video card has changed

[cerulean basin]

For Sony it's been quite clear. The value of the YEN has been going down like crazy in the last 5 years since the PS5 first launched

[south beacon]

hopefully its temporary

[split fog]

in Asia everything is going badly the only normal country in Asia is Japan

[crystal kestrel]

Holy moly GTA 6 has been delayed to 2026 dang I have just gotten out of a 17 year coma two weeks ago.

[split fog]

I will have to accept that the price has become higher. The main thing is that the earnings have become higher.

[crystal kestrel]

@split fog I just hope the Xbox handheld that's coming out next gen will be cheaper than the main Xbox console.

[cerulean basin]

Again, this is not about making their earnings higher, but making sure that they don't go down.

[fluid creek]

A GTA delay is the least surprising thing

[hearty plinth]

doubtful if its anywhere near steamdeck preformance. so probably around price of a deck

[upper meteor]

Wanna know what else is the least surprising thing

[cerulean basin]

Icky losing a match in Halo?

[crystal kestrel]

@hearty plinth good I can save up the money so how much is a deck anyway.

[upper meteor]

😡 no anchel

[fiery python]

You making a 'You know what else' Halo joke?

[cerulean basin]

We don't know anything about the upcoming handheld yet, let alone how much it will cost

[split fog]

In Russia before the war people were getting poorer because of inflation. And I live in a country that is a little poorer than Russia in terms of wages.

[upper meteor]

Whaaaat? Nah, it can't be

😆

[hearty plinth]

depends on the model. but its still too early to know anything about the xbox handheld as i said the other day.

[crystal kestrel]

@hearty plinth ok thank you.

[cerulean basin]

That doesn't change the fact that it costs more money today to make a console compared to what it cost 5 years ago

[hearty plinth]

please stop tagging me.

[hearty plinth]

agreed. but wasnt there a chip shortage in 2020

[crystal kestrel]

I just looked up the price for the stream deck and a 256gbs cost 400$ that ain't a bad price.

[cerulean basin]

There should be cheaper models than that though

Ah, seems like they've taken out some of the cheaper models from the official site

[crystal kestrel]

Just like Mr potato Head said in toy story 2 400$ ain't bad.

[split fog]

I understand but my feelings are different

[hearty plinth]

it will be years before they release anything about the xbox handheld

[split fog]

If this is necessary for the Xbox to live, then so be it.

[crystal kestrel]

So should I get a stream deck for Christmas this year.

[cerulean basin]

The Switch 2 with Mario Kart World bundled is $700 USD in Denmark, $639 for the console alone :/

[split fog]

I love xbox but it's just a bit offensive

[split fog]

normal price I would buy it for 1000 bucks if nintendo sold them for 1000 bucks

[vagrant mica]

I spent £550 on the switch 2 + some other stuff

That’s about $732

[split fog]

Yes, I am a Nintendo fan.

[hearty plinth]

i saving that for a phone upgrade in July

[sweet sluice]

insanity

No console should cost $1k

[hearty plinth]

prices go up thats a fact of life.

[sweet sluice]

Prices just dont go up outta nowhere.

[hearty plinth]

they planned this months in advanced

[alpine cave]

👀

[split fog]

I will buy it next year

[merry palm]

sure, but the reasons they go up are nuanced and far more than a 'hey lets just up prices for lols'

[young fog]

Pre-ordered mine as soon as I could, hope it arrives on launch day too

[sweet sluice]

😭

[merry palm]

yk better lol

[young fog]

509 euro (579 USD) for the bundle over here in The Netherlands

[merry palm]

crossing my fingers for you frost, and the shipping times

[young fog]

I got it from Bol (Dutch version of Amazon, basically)

Normally launch day!

[cerulean basin]

I should do a trip to Italy to visit or something, bring a Switch 2 back with me 😅

[hearty plinth]

i was thinking on a handheld then i realized that i need a phone upgrade more

[young fog]

What does it cost in Italy?

[noble trout]

I'd go to Canada to get one but would likely lose in the strip search on the way back.

[cerulean basin]

Probably lower. But I said Italy since I've been there twice this year already, might go again

[noble trout]

I'll just play in Octogre when things are calm.

[azure saddle]

hellooo

[young fog]

My italian friends just moved to Copenhagen, they are in for a shock with the prices 😄

[vagrant mica]

I’ve been to Sicily before

[cerulean basin]

Salaries are higher too though 😛

[young fog]

Oh yeah not even close. Jump isnt that big for them they moved from NL to DK

[azure saddle]

well i don't know if i can ask this but is there any trustworthy user here?

[hearty plinth]

just ask

[cerulean basin]

Ugh, a friend of mine (different industry, pharma) just got offered a new job earning a bit over $14K monthly. I chose wrong industries, clearly 😅

[fiery python]

It sounds very much like you're about to ask for something that is not permitted by the rules, so I'd advise reviewing them first before you ask - #rules @azure saddle

[azure saddle]

nope. i checked them up

[fiery python]

Okay, so what is it?

[azure saddle]

it's not against the rules but is not mentioned either

[split fog]

my life can be described as follows: "I have no brains, but I have an idea." Because I was born in a country on the level of Africa and I myself am disabled in some sense

[azure saddle]

give me a sec

[merry palm]

is it sketchy?

[sweet sluice]

This is how doohickeys are profounded.

[vagrant mica]

I work as an accountant and I have multiple clients I work on. Seeing the salaries some of these people are on is mad

[split fog]

I haven't lost hope. Тhat's the main thing

[merry palm]

i try not to think too hard about how much other people make. it boggles my brain a bit lol

[cerulean basin]

For me the issue is that I live in a country with higher wages (and as such, higher costs) than the wages in the country where I work in

[hearty plinth]

u r in the UK right? do u also have to file ur taxes as well like people in the US?

[cerulean basin]

Is there any country with taxes where people do not have to file their taxes?

[merry palm]

makes sense. we have areas here that are like that. people assume that the people livining in those areas are all very rich, but thats not how it works out at all

[vagrant mica]

I don’t

[fiery python]

UK doesn't have to file taxes unless you're self employed.

[cerulean basin]

Huh

[fiery python]

Which means I unfortunately have to.

[cerulean basin]

I take it that if you own eg. stocks you do have to file taxes though?

[young fog]

Well my taxes are usually prefilled and 99% accurate and I just have to double check

It seems so stupid. ''We know what you owe us, lets see if you can figure it out too''

[cerulean basin]

In Denmark it's all relatively automatic.
You go in, it already has how much you earn, what deductions you should get, what stocks you own.

[vagrant mica]

Other income like that you do unless you don’t go over the CGT tax free allowance

[cerulean basin]

But... since I'm a bit of a fringe case scenario, and even the stocks I own it's through a non-Danish system, I have to file things manually

[azure saddle]

come on

[fiery python]

Yeah, thought as much. That is most definitely not permitted by our rules and violates the Terms of Service. @azure saddle

[azure saddle]

why is that?

[fiery python]

Because the only person who should be accessing your account is you.

And if something is region locked, trying to access it from outside of the permitted regions is marketplace fraud.

[young fog]

Last year was a lil more complicated because we bought a house but this year it was all pre-filled (the mortgage etc)

[azure saddle]

ohhhhh

[young fog]

As soon as the baby arrives we will have daycare to figure out for taxes but it seems pretty straight forward 😄

[cerulean basin]

Well, it's more like, you make sure that nothing is missing, right?

[azure saddle]

i don't know why though but well

[vagrant mica]

You also had to do a self assessment in the UK if your income was over the threshold of 150k but that was changed this year

[azure saddle]

thank you still

[merry palm]

here we have to figure out how much we owe and pay that, and hope we got thenumber right bc if not the irs tells us we did the math wrong.

[azure saddle]

i don't know what i'm going to do with this code

[young fog]

Yeah 😛

[fiery python]

Give it away to someone who can use it.

[hearty plinth]

i use hr block tax software

[merry palm]

and hope you did it right

and that they didnt mess it up

[hearty plinth]

fr

[azure saddle]

wait so i can't ask for someone to redeem my code from a website that is not from xbox but i can give it away so they can do the same thing but they use it on themselves?

[cerulean basin]

"You have to spend days trying to figure out how much you owe us in taxes, but if you do it wrong, we will charge you a fine, because we actually do know, we just don't wanna tell you so that you have to pay a bunch of money for tax software that we are in cahoots with"

[azure saddle]

that's insane

[hearty plinth]

not really

[vagrant mica]

There are ways in the UK to invest and not have to pay any taxes

ISAs

[split fog]

I have rules for Discord, don't think too much, I write what comes first😋

[merry palm]

yep. but even more annoying is that there are refunds and credits for things you can get but only if you know about them and specifically fill the forms for it. They make no real effort to tell you about them, and will not automatically give you that money if you qualify for it.

[hearty plinth]

its why i usually start on my taxes a month or so in advance. usually cause i also invest in IRAs

to lower my tax bracklet

[cerulean basin]

Unfortunately I live in the country with the 3rd highest income tax and VAT. Not much I can get away from.

[merry palm]

someone else handles my taxes, bc they are one of those people who really enjoys it and loves the spreadsheets game to maximise the savings lol

otherwise i would just.. idk . do it the easy way and lose out on things

[split fog]

if i become famous i will probably stop writing in discord .Because i need to think in discord. and if i think i will get tired

[thin nimbus]

With the Samsung one UI 7 update they put out game booster+

[cerulean basin]

Being famous changes nothing about that though

[merry palm]

i think if i was famous, hopefully never, that i would just.. never mention i had a discord account and talk normally

[vagrant mica]

Papa Johns for £3, I’ll take that

[split fog]

I don't write anything that could offend anyone but I act stupid on discord

[limber carbon]

But you can run to Jutland. I heard they have something delicious there. 😅

[cerulean basin]

It's only 312 km, solid run, brb

[merry palm]

waiting for my preordered book is hard 😭
tfw it comes out earlier in another country and you have to wait

[split fog]

from a guy who writes a complex story, a guy who can analyze a story from a dramatic point of view, you don't expect such behavior in Discord

[limber carbon]

Ah damn, its only on Easter ?

[sterile verge]

oh my days, half way through my halo match it was 25-35 losing, and we won 50-48 at the last second

i actually lost my mind i mustve been on a 12 killstreak

[cerulean basin]

I would get one fantastic view through that run though. You reckon I could run through here?

[hearty plinth]

how many km is it?

[cerulean basin]

It's much bigger than it looks in photos. Huge cruise ships can make it underneath

[empty flax]

Yo when i put a disc into my xbox it got really loud and the fan sounded like it was going at 150% and it was ice cold is that normal?

[empty flax]

Cool

[upper meteor]

That bridge reminds me of one of the bridges in halo 3 odst

[paper wharf]

Is it possible to force rain

[cerulean basin]

That sounds like it's just the disc drive, not the fans necessarily

[paper wharf]

I waited to long

[hearty plinth]

u wish lol

[upper meteor]

Yes, I think? Cloud seeding or something

Idk I just saw a video about it once

[paper wharf]

[empty flax]

Ok thanks

[cerulean basin]

https://tenor.com/view/danza-dancing-dance-moves-maracas-box-on-head-gif-17214764

[merry palm]

Yeah, but you have to have clouds to seed, plus it's like. Not ideal 😂

[cerulean basin]

Do the rain dance

[upper meteor]

Oh, can't you just throw some white cotton candy and hope it stays there 😆

[merry palm]

Move to Oregon and just sit outside like normal. It'll rain plenty

[cerulean basin]

Personally I wouldn't want my rain to feel like syrup is falling down from the sky

[lyric jetty]

Gotta love surge pricing. Bilbao for 4 nights, €2000+ staying in Santander instead €240 😆

[upper meteor]

Santander? Like the bank?

[upper meteor]

I'd like my rain to feel like hot oj not gonna lie

[merry palm]

Warm rain sounds interesting 😂

[cerulean basin]

Well, it's a city 3 times as big as Santander, and a much more economically important capital city

[limber carbon]

150 days till summer 21°C weather ends. I cannot wait!!!

[cerulean basin]

Though 2000€ is definitely a bit too much for 4 nights 😛

[lyric jetty]

there's also 50k+ brits booking rooms 😆

[limber carbon]

I need to plan a trip to Stiges next year or the following year

[upper meteor]

That's 44k Mexican pesos.. SHEEESH 😬😬😬

That cost around £4500 just for accommodation

[cerulean basin]

Jeez, where the hell are you people looking for housing? 10 star hotels?

[vagrant mica]

It is a villa

[young fog]

Thats wild, I went 12 days to Barbados with my gf and everything (flights x2, airbnb, food drinks trips there etc) was like 4k lol

[vagrant mica]

So I guess it makes more sense

[cerulean basin]

Sounds like someone is still trying to exploit you

[lyric jetty]

who needs a villa when you have student accommodation in santander and a train to bilbao 😆

[young fog]

For how many people is the accomodation Kieran?

[vagrant mica]

5

[limber carbon]

I will be going to Thailand this summer end I think, so Stiges is out for me.

[vagrant mica]

It has a pool

And right next to the water park

[cerulean basin]

£4500 for 10 nights, 5 people, that's still way too much

[young fog]

90 per person per night that is wild lol

[vagrant mica]

That’s excluding flights

[limber carbon]

That is frightfully expensive.

[young fog]

Just saying 4k for 12 days in Barbados is an option 😛 amazing country!

The flights itself was half of the 4k

[vagrant mica]

Flights are £500 each

[south beacon]

Hey Tes, I did it

[young fog]

A relatively cheap and amazing place in Europe i can recommend is Cyprus btw!

[south beacon]

I did it

[vagrant mica]

We usually go to the canary islands

[limber carbon]

Oof, I think Tes doesn't like being pinged.

[south beacon]

I played Borderlands 2

[upper meteor]

Wanna know what else you should play

Halo

[lyric jetty]

I usually don't go on holiday. just follow united around Europe

[young fog]

I feel for you 😄

[lyric jetty]

I feel for me too 😆

we've made it to a final though so a wins a win

[young fog]

Theres still a return game 😛

[fiery cloud]

What yalls fav story games, reply to my message so I get the notification

[lyric jetty]

we may be bad but we're not bad enough to lose the home game 4-0 😆

[young fog]

The last of us 1 and 2, Mass Effect Trilogy

[young fog]

Never say never 😛

[fiery cloud]

The last of us is peak so is resident evil

[fluid blade]

So true brother

Facts

[lyric jetty]

some said never against Lyon, some even cancelled their hotel after they scored the penalty

[wind adder]

I'd like to congratulate xbox. First they lose toxic fanboys by having games on PS (honestly exclusivity= bad so good riddance). Now they lose the most civil one's because of the price increase

[lyric jetty]

it was always gonna happen

[swift thistle]

If i wait to play any video games soon enough we will get a fallout 3 remastered

[wind adder]

Tbf not on previous gen consoles. Infact the price decreased.

Unless I was missing something

[wind adder]

Oof

[lyric jetty]

global uncertainty will always lead to increases, nintendo pulled the trigger first with Switch/Game pricing

Sony increased the price of the PS5 slightly a couple weeks ago too

[fiery python]

It was the ideal time for Nintendo with them launching a new generation.

[inland magnet]

Gta 6 delayed till 2026

Damn

[stone plume]

Would yall pick ps5 or Xbox x?

[fiery python]

Both

[stone plume]

Aight

Smart

[split fog]

global history in marvel comics is very good now

[wind adder]

That made some rational people not buy the switch. Atleast xbox would've been silent because xbox is literally #3 tbf.

Not intending to console war, it's more like sony and Nintendo has its diehard. Xbox lost some post xbox 360. Absolutely 0 offence but those are my 2 cents.

[inland magnet]

Borderlands 4 is My next buy

[wind adder]

Doom the dark ages would be something I'd play next

[inland magnet]

Xbox going up in price

[lyric jetty]

hello internet explorer

[inland magnet]

Lol

[wind adder]

I'd switch to steam deck next gen at the most

[inland magnet]

Yup

I have series s

[fossil orbit]

PC 😉

[wind adder]

I've a series X too. Not that I regret buying an xbox but I'd rather switch back to a pc and rather a better one

[fossil orbit]

Mods on games are cool also

RE worth it?

[south beacon]

i already did do halo 1

just giving space before that

[wooden dirge]

ps5

[gray latch]

xbox, bc I already have many xbox games

[sweet sluice]

Me, who dont really care about gta6 and aint surprised in the least of its delay.

[gray latch]

technically speaking both consoles are fine

[sweet sluice]

Game pass carries

[chilly plover]

Yo guys

Is GTA v on Xbox gamepass core

[wind adder]

True

[glad axle]

I dont think so

[gray latch]

oh true, Game Pass does give Xbox an edge

[chilly plover]

Why not

[glad axle]

Why you asking me?

[vagrant mica]

Game pass is the reason to get an xbox

[chilly plover]

Oh wait nvm it isn't there

[glad axle]

Nah

You dont need a xbox for gamepass

[vagrant mica]

I think Playstation has better exclusives

[sweet sluice]

If you want affordability in your games, go for Xbox. If you want more games and can afford your games, go for Playstation. Its really that shrimple.

[glad axle]

Shrimple is such a good word

Also sage is your pfp from one piece mayhaps?

[split fog]

is ben ten really uncle ben from spider man?

[vagrant mica]

what

[wind adder]

Multiverse theories

[glad axle]

No...?

[split fog]

it was a joke

[glad axle]

Jokes are supposed to be funny tho

[split fog]

I just realized that they have the same names

[vagrant mica]

Ben is a very common name

[sweet sluice]

Just reminded me. Brawl it out with friends before things go Offline.

[split fog]

funny joke it's a lot of work and I don't want to work in discord

[tired hare]

Hello?
Can I ask a question?

[sweet sluice]

Yes

[wind adder]

Never played multiversus

[tired hare]

I ordered a 1TB Xbox series s, but it says I have 361 GB?
Is this normal?

[fiery python]

Sounds like you got the 500GB one

[tired hare]

Huh?

That’s scary, since I did order a 1TB one

[fiery python]

The 500GB model has that much usable space.

Check the box.

[tired hare]

Unless they don’t do those?

[split fog]

I need to go read some marvel comics the movie is bad but the comics are interesting

[tired hare]

I already did?

[fiery python]

There is a 1TB Series S model.

[tired hare]

Hmmm…

It seems I don’t have that model then…

[fiery python]

But the 1TB model has around 800GB usable space.

[tired hare]

No worries then, I’ll just get an expansion card 🩷

[fiery python]

If you paid for a 1TB model, return it to get the correct one.

[tired hare]

I already have 😅

I think the worst might have just happened, they sent me the wrong one again XD

Well at least I’ll be getting a full refund 😅

[vagrant mica]

Where did you buy it from

[tired hare]

A place called CEX

[sweet sluice]

Its a ok game.

[vagrant mica]

Ah yeah I go there sometimes

[wanton jolt]

So anything announced at Future Game Show?

[split fog]

such a handsome peter parker

[sweet sluice]

Its definitely better now than when i was playing it

[fiery python]

Either they put the wrong console in the box, or whoever sold it to CEX ripped them off by putting a 500GB model in a 1TB box.

[tired hare]

Well bugger lol

[sweet sluice]

I wished Multiversus had stock battle with friends tho than just score attack.

[tired hare]

On a positive side, I’ll at least be getting a full refund

So that’s ok

[fiery python]

CEX would have just done a basic test to make sure it worked and probably didn't check the storage capacity.

[tired hare]

I’ll get a 1TB expansion card from Amazon

That should fix ANY problems by then, so I’m not too sad

I’ve got it all planned out now 🩷

[split fog]

good luck to you dear penguin

[glad lagoon]

Looks like the console prices are rising

The series x is 50 bucks more

[sweet sluice]

Old news

[glad lagoon]

Dang

[sweet sluice]

Ps5 is next, its just not announced yet

[glad lagoon]

😢

[long maple]

Future Game Show hasnt started yet got another 40mins left

[split fog]

I love my desktop

[wanton jolt]

ah

[vagrant mica]

Is that a big show? Didn’t know about it

[noble trout]

That's a lot of pony.

[half hazel]

how long yall reckon mcdonalds will be around for

[long maple]

its from Gamescom Latam, the games they have talked about are stuff thats releasing soon. there should still be some surprises though.

[half hazel]

itll be so funny if it makes it to the end of the century

[noble trout]

Corporate or franchise?

Because I believe McD's success has been bolstered by land ownership.

[half hazel]

franchise i guess?

[sweet sluice]

I was thinking of the former

[stiff canopy]

Hola 👋

[half hazel]

im curious if my descendents will be able to experience the pinnacle of human creation: The big mac

god i miss the grand mac

[noble trout]

Franchise is harder to predict. Even if the brand carries on and goes well, any franchisee can kill their own business.

[split fog]

I love Steam cashbacks but I don't want to sell them

[noble trout]

e.g. one company that owns a ton of Burger Kings in a couple of states is going under.

[half hazel]

i wonder if arbys will ever die

you guys think devs of a very anticipated games such as gta are also as excited and eager for the game to finally come out

[fiery python]

Of course they are.

[half hazel]

like idk either they want people to play the project theyve been working on for the past several years or also just wanna move on lmao

[heavy escarp]

what is manual port selection used for, will changing it make my game actually update because it keeps going from 100mbps to 1mbps n it’s taking all day

[sweet sluice]

For Rockstar, likely yes.

[queen lotus]

lol move on? It doesn’t stop when the game gets released. It becomes all hands on deck the week of and after release.

They’re lucky to get a break after a month after release

[vagrant mica]

GTA online has to be the most successful live service game of all time

[cerulean basin]

Developers surely like to move on after working for a very long time on a project, but that doesn't mean they are not excited to see what people's reaction will be to the game they've poured so much love and effort into

[vagrant mica]

Do all developers think like that or just care about the money

[fiery python]

Probably Fortnite first, but GTAO is definitely up there.

[cerulean basin]

If developers cared mostly about the money, they would be working in another industry

[half hazel]

the ones who care about the money arent the devs

[vagrant mica]

I wonder when another game like Fortnite comes along

[heavy escarp]

no fortnite doesn’t even come close to gta, gta is the biggest game of all time end of

[cerulean basin]

Because the games industry is not known for either paying too well or being particularly stable 😛

[half hazel]

working for rockstar gotta be stressful

[vagrant mica]

One that completely revolutionises an industry

[half hazel]

jason schreier mentioned its gotten better in recent years

[split herald]

??? Fortnite is definitely bigger than gta online

Look at Fortnite’s player count

[cerulean basin]

Fortnite has way more players than GTA.
Heck, Fortnite has even achieved 44 million players in one day

[half hazel]

I wish we will see an improvement in that regard one day ngl

[vagrant mica]

I thought game devs got paid a lot

[half hazel]

at the very least better job security

[split fog]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGJmfLvzK0Q

[cerulean basin]

It is, but people do get one giant piece to add to their resume after that 😛

[half hazel]

no theyre actually paid less than their software engineer counter parts

[queen lotus]

GTA online past FF14?

[split fog]

Damn this is cool

[half hazel]

i heard valve is prolly one of the hardest studios to get a job at#

[sweet sluice]

Working for rockstar is probably stressful but ion think we have any official reports around how the development of Gta 6 is going as of rn besides delays.

[vagrant mica]

I guess it can vary a lot though

[half hazel]

rockstar keeps it under wraps yeah

[cerulean basin]

Not particularly. Depends a lot on the company and country the studio is based in, of course. But a programmer for example will usually earn a lot more in any other software company than in a games studio.
