general-chat

[split herald]

Magikarp jump was legendary

I think I had all the magikarps

[merry palm]

I usually tell people it's a reverse escape room where you uncover the story as you go. With added complexity of having to start over each day 😅

[gray latch]

haha nice

[merry palm]

Instead of let me out . It's let me in

[gray latch]

that's a lot better than my attempt

[merry palm]

I've had practice at this point

Trying to convince people to play it

Gotta try not to scare them off hahaha

[gray latch]

true lol

[astral saffron]

Oh yeah I did download that off of your recommendation, haven't got round to trying it yet.

[gray latch]

it's so good

[merry palm]

So good. Bit maddening

[south beacon]

Try Kingdom Hearts, Superhot, or Death Stranding

or Zelda's timeline

Or Star Wars lightsabers

[merry palm]

Wildly different types of games to blue prince 😅
But good suggestions

[south beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/super-hot-vr-game-gif-15704568

I meant on the context of overly complicated to explain

[hearty plinth]

Do people recommend a floor and a keyboard mat?

[merry palm]

Floor mats eh. Never had one I liked ever.
Keyboard mats same..but I want one..

[split fog]

Well I don't see anything particularly bad about it, their games sell very well.

[south beacon]

so my friend made a funny plot for a story, and it's super complicated. It has an element of time travel but its actually the easier part of the story to understand

[noble trout]

Blue prince? Katamari?

[merry palm]

Explaining katamari yeah hahaha

[vagrant wren]

Hello guys any reccomendations of a xbox gamepass game under 10 gigs?

[south beacon]

that's another

[wanton jolt]

floor mat for what?

[merry palm]

Sound like a loon 😂

[south beacon]

conspiracies

[noble trout]

That guy is SUCH a dink.

[south beacon]

Bloodborne

[merry palm]

The makers of katamari made that new game 'to a T'

It's also weird 😂

[wanton jolt]

it's very funny

[noble trout]

I mean the game is over 20 years old and that's the first thing in my head when I hear blue prince.

Pah. 💢

[south beacon]

Mass Effect too, because of all the different endings

[merry palm]

Imo I would but blue prince closer to that one game with the Lazer puzzles?

[south beacon]

RPGs

[merry palm]

Can't remember the name.. it has a sequel uh

[south beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/scott-the-woz-anime-scott-sign-nope-gif-16274129

[noble trout]

Yeah, I think I just make the connection for any prince in gaming. There aren't many.

[hearty plinth]

I think u can filter game pass games by install size. I dont know many at the top of my head or install size tbh

[noble trout]

"You just rolled everything in record time! ...but you still suck."

[merry palm]

With the robot people and the laser door things

[vagrant wren]

Thanks! any recomendations?

[merry palm]

It's going to drive me crazy until I remember the name

[south beacon]

I know which one

I just was playing it too

I'll check

The Witness

[noble trout]

Mazean?

[hearty plinth]

I usually dont keep track of the install size tbh.

[south beacon]

was it the witness

[merry palm]

Aaah Talos

[vagrant wren]

like any game reccomendations?

[merry palm]

Found it

[hearty plinth]

Expedition 33

[noble trout]

Rescue Rover?

[vagrant wren]

1 sec ima look

[south beacon]

what was it

I don't play puzzle games very often

[merry palm]

Talos principal

[south beacon]

ah.

[noble trout]

Ah. Copilot failed this task.

[south beacon]

I'm dumb at puzzles, even though I like them

[vagrant wren]

good but 40 gigs is a lot man haha

[merry palm]

Robots and lasers isnt a huge tip lol

[merry palm]

Looool close!

[noble trout]

I thought laser door things would have tipped it off.

[south beacon]

I was thinking of Witness since that was a whole game with lasers and light stuff

[hearty plinth]

Its not as much as other games some games hit 100 to 200 gigs

[south beacon]

I personally enjoy Portal and Superlimal

[wanton jolt]

Megaman

[merry palm]

Talos is much more puzzle oriented. Like blue prince.

[noble trout]

Suppaaah HOT. Suppaaah HOT.

[merry palm]

Not fighty fight

[south beacon]

Super

[vagrant wren]

Yeah thats true thanks!

[noble trout]

Have ya heard the game? 😄

[wanton jolt]

superhot VR is fun

[noble trout]

Which one? 😄

[south beacon]

yes, and I was waiting for you to say Hot or HAWT

[wanton jolt]

Megaman 1

Must have lazer doors and robot people

[south beacon]

Super

[noble trout]

HAWT would be a little more Longeyeland to me rather than HOT.

[south beacon]

I'll take it

You know I had that joke planned for a week and didn't think about it until just now

[noble trout]

They got something for sure but I think it's more fighty fight than what Tes was describing.

[merry palm]

^^

[south beacon]

remember MM was in a Tekken game

[noble trout]

And yes, fighty fight just became an industry term.

[merry palm]

😂

[merry palm]

I also use the term pew pew game

[south beacon]

I say puh-pow

or BOIIIING

[merry palm]

If I fight someone.. there should not be a boing sound.

👀

That feels like doing it wrong to me

[south beacon]

now I'm tempted to punch someone and just go boing instead of bam, pow

[noble trout]

Wow. "Eggslut Is Coming to Seattle, and It’s Already Causing Problems for Its Neighbors"

[south beacon]

wut

cause of the name

[gray latch]

lol

[noble trout]

That's my guess. Moving into where Homegrown was, former home of the Fluffinutter with Bacon.

[gray latch]

I feel like Seattle for the most part wouldn't take issue with that. I suspect it's a minority of people complaining lol

🤣

[noble trout]

Far as I'm concerned this is great press for a breakfast sandwich place, which we are lacking in this area.

[ripe grotto]

Woah woah

[summer magnet]

Randy, you should know better than to try and bypass the filter please

[gray latch]

there's an egg place here that looks like it's been here since the 70s. I keep wanting to try it but it's never open when I pass by

[noble trout]

I can't control the name of the place.

[cursive verge]

what was the message called it got deleted

[noble trout]

There's two of them: one in the market and one in Belltown.

[ripe grotto]

Twas nothing

[cursive verge]

oh

[summer magnet]

I know you can't but you also don't need to bring it here though

[idle spear]

Death stranding 2 seems to be reviewing really well I’ll have to pick it up

[noble trout]

Pah.

Anyway, nettle - I agree. It's gotta be a small group complaining. Good press for them.

[gray latch]

this is the town that almost called it the South Lake Union Trolley, after all

[noble trout]

It's not even residential there so I've no idea.

I still giggle when I see SLU < -- > RED busses on Campus.

[gray latch]

lol

[noble trout]

Also the town that voted for an expanded monorail seven different times, until they got it killed.

Made money on the real estate though, so maybe there was a long term plan.

[fluid blade]

Anyone that lives in Seattle? What is the weather right now

[fiery python]

You don't need someone in Seattle to tell you that. You could just look up Seattle weather.

[ripe grotto]

Cloudy and the temperature is 59 degrees

[merry palm]

Assume it's rainy.

All the time

[ripe grotto]

But that’s just from my phone app

[fluid blade]

The weather app can lie sometimes

[ripe grotto]

I don’t actually live there

[merry palm]

There are weather cams 👀

[fluid blade]

It just happened to me yesterday, said there was gonna be isolated thunderstorms and guess what? No storms

[gray latch]

and you can see on the traffic cams too

[noble trout]

Seattle weather is only good when you vacation there. All rain if you move there.

[merry palm]

I still say always assume it's raining

[lunar tartan]

Hello!

[vocal gorge]

Thought that was only a Scottish thing /j

[merry palm]

It's Seattle, I'm like. 85% right

[noble trout]

I still say always assume to not more there. Increases local car insurance.

[merry palm]

85% rain, 10% just cloudy. 3% snow/hail.

The rest is sunny

🤣

[noble trout]

It's always raining in Florida.

Just might be on one side of the street for 5 minutes in Orlando.

[lunar tartan]

My family would road trip to Oregon for the winters. The first time they were so disappointed to see no snow but rain 😅

[vocal gorge]

Sounds almost like Scotland

[noble trout]

In Oregon, the mountains are just 1/2 hour away from the rain 🙂

[merry palm]

The pnw has very similar weather yep

[vagrant mica]

Just found out the qualification I am doing is changing. Seems like I will benefit as I’ll end up doing 1 less exam

[noble trout]

Its like driving up Haleakala to see snow on Maui.

[lunar tartan]

We were in beaverton. My parents just didn't do any research of the place

[noble trout]

yaya, from there, you point east and drive up 😄

Hopefully they could see the mountains.

[merry palm]

I live in that area. Can see hood from the road in some spots ezpz

[noble trout]

I don't recall being able to see much when spending time in Eugene.

[merry palm]

Trees sometimes block the view

[noble trout]

In the ongoing theme of the day, there was one business name that would likley violate the filter again, so I'll supress that story.

[merry palm]

Eugene is nice. The mountains there tho start off more gradually

[arctic fractal]

I wanna know, in the summer sale, is the discont only for games or is the subscription also like xbox game pass?

[merry palm]

Games

Sometimes dlc

[lunar tartan]

I miss traveling to oregon once a year. Haven't done that since I was like 16

[merry palm]

If you ever come this way lemme know 👀

I have no space for guests (tiny rental spot) but would love to meet up!

[noble trout]

I haven't been to Eugene in years. I dug the town but it used to "close" at least 6pm.

[merry palm]

Fall or late summer is best time imo 😂

My family mostly lives in eugene area nowadays. Far enough to not see all the time and close enough to not need overnight visits 😂

[noble trout]

That is perfect.

[merry palm]

Yep

[noble trout]

Does the town still roll up the sidewalks early?

[lunar tartan]

I mean who knows. If I can't get into the universities in my state I might have to venture out of minnesota for school. I am not going to school in the south either. It's either coast or midwest 😅

[merry palm]

Mmmm not sure. Haven't lived there since the early 2000s

[noble trout]

I was there on business. Company bought a closed department store and turned it into a customer service call center. They had to board off the escalators because, well, engineers worked there.

[merry palm]

I'm a homebody tho. And back then I had 4 overprotective brothers 😂

I didn't get to go out

[noble trout]

But that was the mid 90s.

Minions to serve you!

[merry palm]

Mmmm i wish hahaha

They do have concerts and things going on there

Sports etc

I do think it's calmer than Portland by a lot. Very different vibe

[noble trout]

Well ya - one of the Oregon campuses there?

[merry palm]

Yeah

University of Oregon, handful of other smaller ones

[noble trout]

Ducks. 😄

[merry palm]

They got their minor league baseball too

It's a very laid back hippy town that's actually not a town or small 😂

[noble trout]

Was a nice town.

[merry palm]

I liked it there

[raw hazel]

do they change the support for xbox ?

[merry palm]

I'd consider moving back there in a heartbeat tbh

But I also like a fairly calm and chill life 😅

[lunar tartan]

What's Oregon's minor league called?

[noble trout]

I figure I'll figure out how to do that after I'm dead 😄

[merry palm]

Eugene emeralds

[noble trout]

That moment when Netflix realizes that being the "Netflix for games" might not be able to be done by Netflix: https://www.engadget.com/gaming/netflix-is-removing-over-20-games-including-hades-and-monument-valley-123023128.html?src=rss&guccounter=1

[lunar tartan]

No one buys a Netflix subscription just to play games do they?

[merry palm]

No lol

Think it's just an added perk.

[vagrant mica]

The majority of the games are just mobile games that already exist

[noble trout]

But an expensive perk to offer, soooooo.

[merry palm]

I honestly dont know how it works and I have netflix

I never understood why they wanted to try it

[noble trout]

I know a guy that worked on the feature set and still don't know how it works.

[merry palm]

Amazon doing it made some amount of sense. But Netflix was ????

Like renting game discs sure... But otherwise??

And they stopped disc rentals

[noble trout]

Hey, I rented carts from a video store back in the day. That made sense. Netflix streaming games confused me enough to ignore it.

[merry palm]

I used to do the disc rentals from Netflix. It was great

I kinda preferred it to the streaming

[hearty plinth]

Did u need to plug in a controller to play netflix games?

[noble trout]

I did too. Right up until the end. In fact the disc of Miracle Mile is still somewhere in the house, because it's hard to find otherwise.

[long maple]

theres some on Mobile you can play, also you can play some in the Browser using KB/M

not much of a selection of games on the browser though its still in BETA

[lunar tartan]

Google just gave me a warning that a password I only use to sign into my school stuff was in a data leak? That's a thing? Also did Microsoft have a recent one?

[hearty plinth]

I fine with streaming movies and tv shows i will always prefer playing games installed on my pc/xbox over streaming games

[long maple]

they arent exactly overpowered titles, and some of them are Multiplayer against real people.. I played a Quiz one the other day

[trail oracle]

Guys Who got mk1 account i want to plat this game so bad

[hearty plinth]

Just buy the game

[granite verge]

Game sharing outside your household is against Terms of Service

[lunar tartan]

Odd. Guess I am changing my college passwords

[merry palm]

Yeah there was a recent one. But tbh they are happening all the time so it's like . Well. 😅

[uncut niche]

Guess my account dodged a bullet ☠️

[merry palm]

I get notified all the time people trying to access my accounts. It's so tiring

[lunar tartan]

I've never seen a Google message like that before. Just told me my password was involved in a data leak

[merry palm]

The headlines were a lot of sensationalism but yeah

[lunar tartan]

Oops sorry for ping

[uncut niche]

Yuh you gotta turn it off manually every time its annoying

[merry palm]

I didn't get notified for the newest one, but I figured it's a good time to check security setting all over again

[uncut niche]

Wierd no one talked about it tho even tho it was recent

I mean i already security proofed mine but still why was it shadowed like that

[lunar tartan]

I'm just glad there are features like that

[merry palm]

People talked about it in here 👀
Guess you missed that

It was also sent to me by a bunch of people 😂

I think it's become old hat for the most part to people

[hearty plinth]

R we even sure thats even real?

[merry palm]

Are we even sure that we are real???

👀

[hearty plinth]

Are we in the matrix and we r all computer code?

[vagrant mica]

I’m real but are you?

[merry palm]

I'd like to be

Sometimes I wonder 😂

[acoustic robin]

Hi

[barren hinge]

e

[lunar tartan]

I feel like astrophysicist will eventually have an answer to simulation theory 😅

[rotund steeple]

No

Nothing is real

Its all in your imagination

[warm swift]

Has anyone used the 8Bitdo controllers on Xbox

[rotund steeple]

Nah

[sly fiber]

How are yall's days going?

[trail harness]

Trying to avoid heat stroke

It was 100 F outside yesterday

[obsidian jasper]

Hi guys, I bought this Razer Blackshark V2x headset and it's unbearable while gaming. Too much bass, anyone using the same..need help. I've been using Jbl Quantum 200 it was very good.

[potent beacon]

Random, does anyone know how to fix the syncing issue with the Xbox 360 controller lmfao

[merry palm]

Have you adjusted the settings with the razer software? You can usually adjust bass levels etc

[wispy epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/dj-pj-sera-flr-gif-25385034

[sly fiber]

understandable

[grim cosmos]

Hello

Can I ask for opinion on a specific topic? I'm thinking about buying a certain game for Xbox 360 and I'm not sure if it's worth it

XBOX 360 BIOHAZARD Resident Evil Revival Selection Capcom

This is worth it?

[fiery python]

Depends how much.

[astral saffron]

Just watched the F4 trailer. Looks very good and I am excited for it!

I might get round to watching Ironheart too but not too fussed about that one.

[naive thistle]

GOOD MORNING!

[fiery python]

Also pretty sure that RE game is Japanese only, so you'd need a console capable of playing it. Unless it's only for collection.

[dusty aurora]

I put up a post but I'll ask here, does anyone got need for speed heat? Tryna play and do some races

[fiery python]

I'm looking forward to that one.

[potent beacon]

VIETNAMMMM

[south beacon]

really? I didn't notice

BTW, 3 am and it's super humid out. So I am now imaging midday being twice as harsh

it hasn't even rained in over a week too

[dusty aurora]

Dude the real feel out here where I am is like 100 degrees

UV rays are pretty high too

[green laurel]

Its raining here but humidity not dropping

[south beacon]

at least these games are still playable elsewhere

there was that one title from PlatinumGames that was released on Apple Arcade, and it got removed I think last year. From what I heard it was a lot of fun

[soft nebula]

Good afternoon

Why did my pfp change all of a sudden? I didn't remember changing it😭

[south beacon]

it's probably a glitch. Tes' pfp on here has been switching off between 3 different ones

[soft nebula]

I realized it was my nitro. I had it like that while I had my nitro and when I renew it, it switched back to this to my suprise.

[south beacon]

weird

[merry palm]

It just stores it yeah

Sometimes peeps have times where they dont have it for a while

[south beacon]

has my old one pop up? I'm curious

No one ever mentioned it to me since, so it might've worked

[merry palm]

I don't remember other peeps unless they have had the same one for a long time and also have interacted with me for a long time 😅

[south beacon]

it was the one with Silver

if I did a pfp of a character rn, either Jinwoo or Wario

https://tenor.com/view/wario-wario-elon-elon-wario-elon-musk-wario-mario-elon-gif-21509023

Waaaah!

[soft nebula]

I think not. If you were to have nitro and changed your profile before it expires. And renewing your nitro again, then you'll see your old pfp again

[wispy epoch]

Man, you must be a desert dweller or something to not notice this heat

[south beacon]

It's a-me, Wario. We gonna play some Wario Land 4 on de Game Boy Advance. HA HA HA HA!

[south beacon]

well I got out of the kitchen

https://tenor.com/view/da-dum-tss-drum-drummer-drumming-gif-15912645

[merry palm]

It's not hot here

[soft nebula]

I had to walk to the store to buy some snacks and while I was out, it was 100 degres outside and because of heat advisory, I had to quickly walk back home asap.

[south beacon]

I've picked a bad week to quit smoking

Have you ever watched movies about gladiators

[merry palm]

It's raining here today so the heat dropped. Only supposed to get to mid 70s

[south beacon]

you ever been in a turkish prison?

[soft nebula]

Wario and waluigi. The evil duos

[south beacon]

lol

alright, I'm going to take a break.

[soft nebula]

Same

[south beacon]

No Rest for the Wicked (Moon Studios) got another update coming, and still no official console version yet.

From what I know about it, Private Division originally published the game, and they closed down and gave publishing rights to Moon.

[tropic imp]

Didn't find it in the FAQ anyone know if I need Xbox live membership to get PC game pass access (lost access to my account made in '08 and Microsoft still billing me even though can't log in had to cancel credit card)

[fiery python]

If you mean Core/Gold, then no.

[honest crown]

Why is Xbox app trash now

[long maple]

the same feature thats coming to the Xbox Ally is already in testing for the app, looks good being able to see all the storefronts and what you already own

[tired hare]

First off, this really sucks and I'm sorry to all involved but are the most recent job cuts at Xbox a specific sector like Activision?

[fiery python]

If that information hasn't been reported on, then no one here would be able to say.

[honest crown]

Nevermind, thought it had an update but my whole App Store was glitched 🫠

[long maple]

yep most the articles I found like Bloomberg just say "prepare" for layoffs. hasnt happened yet

but exactly what Rhinne just said

[tired hare]

The only problem I ever have is my "rewards" not showing up, which I'm hesitant to believe is a set up to avoid giving points for logging into the app but I don't know what's going on.

[tired hare]

I'm sure its just a redundancy thing anyway

[honest crown]

Well mine is fine now but it apparently updated and it signed me out of every account and wouldn’t let me back in

What did they add to it

[tired hare]

Oh man, yeah that's annoying. It was probably just bug fixes and optimizations cuz

Hello people

[fallow temple]

I wonder if playstation is stressing rn

[vagrant mica]

About?

[fallow temple]

Xbox with the ally, vr, and next gen console specs and steam function

[cerulean basin]

They are still market leaders in the AAA sector. And have a plan to expand beyond consoles. I think they are fine for now.

[fallow moat]

Does 3 years from now sound right for the next iteration?

[cerulean basin]

Mind you that Xbox has not entered the realm of VR on consoles nor does it compete against PSVR2

[fiery python]

Xbox isn't doing VR and there has been nothing to say Steam is going to the next gen console. Sony doesn't get their market analysis from clickbait YouTubers.

[cerulean basin]

Plus, Sony also has their next gen console in the works

[long maple]

25th Anniversary next year, so I am guessing we may hear something about it then, or a codename.. " eats monsters for breakfast" lol

[fallow temple]

Oh

[fallow temple]

True but it is a big step though

[cerulean basin]

Not really. It's mostly to have stronger presence for their cloud streaming service through VR headsets

[fallow temple]

They dropped meta xbox quest 3s and i mean steam support on the ally

[fallow temple]

But if xbox would get a steam and epic support on the console what would ps have?

[cerulean basin]

Don't get me wrong, I love that Xbox is pushing for stronger presence in expanded markets

[winter junco]

Y'all got the next gen ad on the 360 home screen? One of mine had it and my other two didn't

[fiery python]

There's already an Ally with Steam support though.

[vagrant mica]

The ally is a PC

[fiery python]

Means nothing to Sony

[long maple]

no clue, havent booted up my 360 in a long time

[cerulean basin]

But it's important to remember that the Xbox Ally is still a Windows PC just like the ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go before it

[fallow temple]

I mean if steam and epic would be added to the next xbox i would than buy a xboc

[long maple]

Sony already spoke about what they were doing, they gave an interview the other week

[tacit robin]

I'm calling it now the next colab is going to be a PC branded xbox

[cerulean basin]

Over 77 million PS5 users that won't all switch to an Xbox console simply because it supports Steam, a PC storefront where they may not own any games?

[fallow temple]

Didnt they say that there adding amd chips to?

[cerulean basin]

They already do since Xbox 360

So does PS4 and PS5

[fallow temple]

Ig there just slaping the xbox brand on devices

[winter junco]

True

[long maple]

they are still chasing Games as a Service cause why not, and they have PS6 in their minds, plus 1 big AAA single player title a year, and whatever else they said.

[winter junco]

Windows and Xbox is basically Microsoft

[fallow temple]

So i got a amd chip in my series s?

[tacit robin]

the essence of a colab, but its a little more than that

[long maple]

AMD gonna be using Radeon and Ryzen, with AI. doubt the jump from Series to this one will be massive, but other things might be interesting

[fallow temple]

If there are branches off the company.

[cerulean basin]

100%
It's the next logical step and a strong way to continue with their "This is an Xbox" campaign in more strongly connected ways via branding and Xbox-certified hardware

[fallow temple]

Ngl i want to play msfs on vr

[cerulean basin]

Yes, the Series S uses an AMD chipset that includes both CPU and GPU

[long maple]

and when AMD Lisa Su was talking, she said all these devices will have back compat in mind, which is good as I still got 360 titles to finish whenever I get around to them. lol

[fallow temple]

Oh

[long maple]

still awhile away yet, and got tons of great games to play before the next console comes out

[cloud roost]

Roblox executor ( custom scripts available within )
Fortnite delight v4.2
The finals v1 cheat
Valorant cheat in beta
Counter strike also in beta but more stable than valorant
Rocket league radar
League of legends
Call of duty warzon( very stable version )
Minecraft : Still beta but tryable

Dm me for the access

[green laurel]

Nah

[cloud roost]

PC VERSION ONLY

[south beacon]

honestly I have a bit of a hardtime seeing Steam running on the next Xbox console

The Xbox is an established console market of devices. It is a lot of things (but it mainly accompanies either the PC space or dedicated console market)

[green laurel]

Technically i dont see why it couldn't. They are half pcs anyway at this point but im still cautious about hoping

[south beacon]

same

More of a wait and see. I don't want to say anything without jepordizing myself.

[tacit robin]

just wait when the next console is revealed and there is no steam on it the intnet is going to breakdown again..

[green laurel]

Yeah lol

[south beacon]

what about a disc drive?

or what if they added something to the controller

what about the shape of the box

the color

the games revealed for it

[vagrant mica]

The PC market is so massive now, it continues to grow whilst console market has continued to stagnate

So I can see why Microsoft may want to go that route

[green laurel]

Its what they have been saying consoles don't grow

[tacit robin]

I can see them releasing a PC though like a colab the only steam thing will be for the handhelds and the PC. Phil as touched in the past about having a console where you could upgrade it like you do with a PC.

[south beacon]

I'm honestly waiting for Sony's right shoe to drop

The other shoe already dropped, so what happened to the first shoe since Wolverine's reveal

[tired hare]

Hello. 🙂

[tacit robin]

they need to let us upgrade the internal drive though like you can on Playstation. The fact you have to buy a expansion card sucks and they have not come down, they really need to address it. Just let us use a M,2 drive

[south beacon]

they released a ton of first party games for PS5 between 2020 and 2022, and since then a majority of their releases came from second party studios.

[south beacon]

yeah that's another thing. They might opt to do that. Remember that OG Xbox and 360 both had memory cards. Yet compared to the competition for OG, Xbox already had internal storage. Then 360 they got rid of them almost instantly

since m2 are used pretty frequently in devices not just playstation, and aren't restricted to manufacturers like W2 and Seagate (especially Seagate)

[vagrant mica]

They have a lot of timed exclusives

[south beacon]

Where's Santa Monica, Wolverine from Insomniac, that one Horizon multiplayer game, that other Horizon multiplayer game, Intergalactic, etc.

I've been waiting.

[tacit robin]

but keep the expansion card slot on the console, so i can still use my drive and its not done for.

[south beacon]

I am so close, no matter how far I am from getting Wolverine into the palm of my hands

Originally I never really cared for what Sony would do, as I was caring more about Nintendo. But since jumping on the PS5 train I keep thinking about stuff like Spider Man 3

I just want to finish the STORY

But once I get all these different games, I will have known that my dream has been complete

[light ferry]

Hello

[tacit robin]

hi

[light ferry]

I want to ask about the Microsoft Reward application

On Xbox

The app still doesn't work for me.

[earnest fractal]

hello

[tacit robin]

the app was discontinued it does not work for anyone. They moved rewards stuff to your profile, some time ago

[soft nebula]

hi

[light ferry]

Can I exchange my coins for other rewards?

Or not?

[spiral shore]

its here now and the points still work

on the pc xbox app

[light ferry]

I don't have a PC I'm on Xbox

[spiral shore]

or on your xbox porfile on the console

ok so on your profile there will be a tab for it

[light ferry]

Well, can I replace the work I have or not?

G

[fiery python]

You still have your points.

[tacit robin]

go to your profile

[fiery python]

Go to Game Pass and scroll down and you'll also find the Quests there.

[soft nebula]

I feel like I'm emotional that 343 ruined halo. Got little tears when I hear the music

[light ferry]

On Xbox

[fiery python]

Yes, on Xbox

[spiral shore]

just explore your profile on xbox you will see it

[light ferry]

Can I use it or not?

[fiery python]

We wouldn't tell you where to find it if you couldn't.

[light ferry]

Okay, sorry to bother you.

[soft nebula]

It should be in your profile and once you're in your profile, you will see Reward beta on the right

on console

[neat badger]

Bro I just found the most talented person on toktok

Anyone mind helping to spam like for them?

[fiery python]

No

Uhh, I don't think it's a good idea

[dapper dust]

guys is it just me or is the controller update broken

[fiery python]

I've not seen anyone else reporting issues.

[rigid sentinel]

Define broken

[dapper dust]

it says it’s there was a problem downloading the update from the internet, please try again

and my internet is completely fine

[uneven comet]

sup guys

[cyan belfry]

._.

[soft nebula]

Probably a issue, but yeah. You would need to be connected online in order for the controller update to finish processing.

[uneven comet]

do we all play on xbox here ???

[tacit robin]

alot of people but not everyone

[rigid sentinel]

Idk what that is /j

[soft nebula]

Yes. Some play on console, some play on PC with game pass for PC

[spiral shore]

I play on all consoles 😀

[uneven comet]

oh okay as i’m looking for new mates who play bo6 or gta

[soft nebula]

My gamepass expired two days ago

[uneven comet]

that is unluck i got gta 2 days ago and trying to make money is mad long but i ain’t played it in years

[rigid sentinel]

I dun play on anything but Playstation (i have no Playstation games so no reason to get one rn) and Nintendo (i dont like company)

[soft nebula]

I didn't even have a chance to play GOW R multiplayer beta before expiration 😭

[tacit robin]

I didn't get around to it either, but i do prefer campaign and horde anyhow.

[dapper dust]

i mean is it gonna disappear at some point

[soft nebula]

Yeah, the whole game will be released before I get gamepass again.

[soft nebula]

I don't know. I've never had problems with the updates of the controller downloading, so I don't know

[rigid sentinel]

I can try myself but thatd be in like a few hours enough time for a possible fix to be released if broken

[meager yacht]

i dont get the Death Stranding games

why are they so popular ?

[soft nebula]

Look it up. Google has brains

and eyes

[open flume]

You’re rebuilding a world by forging literal paths and helping others without ever meeting them. If that sounds boring, maybe it’s just not your genre.. but there's a reason people who get it, love it.

[soft nebula]

Literally fits the title

[kind tangle]

I'm excited for the fable reboot

I think I'll love it

[meager yacht]

probley right doesnt really sound fun back to condemned

[kind tangle]

and I want to play avowed too

ok Im off to my interview

[open flume]

Condemned is great if you're into bashing mannequins and sewer goblins

[open flume]

glhf

[meager yacht]

bit more to it than that

[south beacon]

Pengiun, can I ask you something

[south beacon]

literally that and Perfect Dark are the two big titles I'm excited for from Xbox

I just wrote out an entire pitch of the game I want to craft. It's going to be a weird story, but I think the main thing I want to get out of this is the gameplay. I need it to be perfect enough to not cause problems.

I want the whole thing feel like Wario Land mixed with 2D Gaiden

[meager yacht]

do people still play the 2nd perfect dark online ?

i remember it being kinda fun

[open flume]

if you want!

[cyan belfry]

._.

[merry palm]

Would the African swallow make it farthest with my letter? Or should I go with the European?👀

[open flume]

um

laden or unladen

how could you even ask

without clarifying that

[merry palm]

I said it will have a letter

So clearly laden

[open flume]

oh my apologies for requiring semantics

[merry palm]

Smh

[open flume]

A swallow laden with a letter changes everything

have you seen an african swallow carry coconut husks between regions?

a letter would be child's play

[merry palm]

I did use the fancy paper

[open flume]

assuming its not made of cardstock, ofc

[open flume]

oh ok miss high standards

next youre gonna tell me its EMBOSSED and has a wax seal

[merry palm]

Gold leaf, not that that fake stuff

[open flume]

naturally

[merry palm]

And stickers, not a wax steel

[open flume]

so this raises ethical concerns as you very clearly do NOT want to drop your fancy gold letter unto a cow pasture

european swallows cant handle anything over an ounce

african swallows can have a reinforced talon pouch

[merry palm]

Hmmm 🤔

It is a lot of stickers

[open flume]

looks like you have your answer

[merry palm]

Get the European and then be mad when they lose it.

[open flume]

rookie mistake

[fluid creek]

i'll take the cuter one

[merry palm]

😂

[open flume]

allow me to consult the Bird Beauty Bureau

sam do you like warm earthy tones or a rusty red throat

[merry palm]

I honestly believe someone has made that a thing 😂

[fluid creek]

gimmet he reds

[open flume]

point for european

do you prefer a golden/cinnamon chest or a sleek, forked tail like a tuxedo's coattails

[fluid creek]

golden/cinnamon

[open flume]

oh man thats a point for african

tie breaker

slightly more rugged, explorer look? kinda like “Indiana Jones but feathered”
or
Has that refined, "just flew in from Versailles" vibe

[fluid creek]

versailles

[open flume]

Ok so while youre letter may fall into a grain silo

you're fully European

and honestly that tracks

[fluid creek]

at least i look good

[open flume]

its falling, with style!

now.. here's the thing.. if you wanted the CUTEST objectively sam... then not a swallow

[stray beacon]

[cerulean basin]

Now I'm curious, did this server also get access to the new "holographic" roles?

[worn ocean]

Does anyone know if UWP apps upon deletion, delete every leftover?

[tired hare]

Gta 6 get delyad

Again

[worn ocean]

You can install it on xbox

[sterile sequoia]

source?

[cerulean basin]

Rockstar hasn't made any announcement like that

[tired hare]

Ok

[cerulean basin]

The official website:

So nope, it hasn't been delayed again

[tired hare]

@cerulean basin oh okay thank about your info

[fluid creek]

yes, but i haven't had a chance to look into how many we can have

[merry palm]

Am trying the liquid dead doctor death flavor today

It's pretty good

[fluid creek]

oh!

i've seen that but not bought it!

does it taste like dr pepper????

[worn ocean]

@fluid creek do you know about this?

As in games from gamepass pc

[merry palm]

its pretty similar. less strong but im ok with that

[fluid creek]

why are you tagging me lol

[limpid flicker]

Not only are you not supposed to ping the staff, but I'm gonna put all my chips on Sam not knowing that. I respect Sam's intelligence greatly, but that's not her wheelhouse.

[worn ocean]

you're an xbox staff i think you might know about this

okay my bad

[merry palm]

wrong department lol

[slate crest]

just because someone is staff doesn't mean they know everything on earth it's just common sense

[open flume]

idk.. i had customers at my computer repair shop ask me if i built websites

computers are clearly all encompassing

[limpid flicker]

There are other people here who might know, who aren't staff. I'm not one of them either. I know that sometimes in the past there was a little bug with stuff getting left behind after uninstall, but I think that was years ago.

[scenic lotus]

xcloud?

[tired hare]

@cerulean basin oh thANK

[slate crest]

why xcloud?

[scenic lotus]

why not

[slate crest]

how about why?

[cerulean basin]

It hasn't been announced for Xbox Cloud yet

[scenic lotus]

easy to play without a good pc

[merry palm]

phone and gamepass.

[slate crest]

just buy a console

[scenic lotus]

too poor

can only pay for xcloud and one $80 game

[merry palm]

so... phone and gamepass lol

[limpid flicker]

You don't need a "good PC" to play a bunch of Xbox games. A totally mediocre PC will do it.

[fiery python]

No discussion of self repair please @coral skiff

[merry palm]

if you got cloud and a phone and a controller like.. pretty golden for gaming

[scenic lotus]

problem is i spent like 3k on a macbook

[slate crest]

why?

[scenic lotus]

i play stuff on xcloud on my mbp

[scenic lotus]

great display

good for editing

[slate crest]

and what was bought with the 3k?

[ivory meadow]

The only reason I bought a Xbox is to play cool math games

[scenic lotus]

uhh yeah

[limpid flicker]

More games run on a Mac now than ever before, but... ehh, yeah I getchu.

[scenic lotus]

yep i do use crossover too, not parallels tho

[limpid flicker]

Shame Proton isn't as good on Mac as it is on Linux.

[lucid sinew]

gaming

[limpid flicker]

The Mac graphics API just isn't as easy to work with sadly as the equivalent on Linux.

[cerulean basin]

Some people might simply enjoy playing on a light laptop, or directly from their TV's app or their phone. Some might not feel they have a need to get a new console if they can already play the games they want via streaming and they were going to subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate anyways.

Some people even use it to play Xbox games on the Steam Deck that might not be available on Steam, or to play games that the Steam Deck itself cannot handle

[opal flint]

Is steam coming to Xbox?

[sly stratus]

Xcloud and GP are the 2 reasons I'm back gaming. I actually started just with xcloud and GP, then a few months later bought a series s. MS just does not market the greatness which is xcloud and GP

[slate crest]

no idea

[fiery python]

Nothing has been announced.

[scenic lotus]

everything about a mac sucks, it is definitely a scam, charging too much for subpar performance BUT for the 16 inch mbp the liquid retina display is incredible, and no matter how hot it gets, the fan noise is negligible, the speaker sound is also great, overall feels amazing to play games on it.

[fiery python]

Macs are great. I've used one daily for about 12 years now. I'd never go back to Windows for general use other than gaming.

[scenic lotus]

the experience is good but not worth it for the price ig, you can easily build a good pc and get good speakers and an oled monitor, but never in such a small form factor

[slate crest]

all we know is that it is just a rumor not a confirmation or details of it actually happening

[opal flint]

Oki

[scenic lotus]

very smooth, if windows was so smooth, id just use my pc instead but sadly win11 is disgusting

i have mixed feelings about tahoe though, i dont really like it

[merry palm]

xbox pc is testing it showing steam games you have installed on it iirc. but i think that has been taken way out of context 😅

[opal flint]

Would u guys Get Xbox ally x or rog ally x, might be biased Since we Are in Xbox server but still, might help me with deciding

[limpid flicker]

That's cool, I'll just go back to my Apple Silicon Mac Mini. Y'all have a fabulous day. 💖

[scenic lotus]

xbox ally x looks cooler

[merry palm]

from the look of it i want the xbox ally . but really just for the grips.

[rare sparrow]

would you guys prefer, steam or epic games store?

[merry palm]

both are very similar

[fiery python]

Just wait for the Xbox Ally. You clearly want it. Don't give in to impatience as you'll only be disappointed when the Xbox Ally comes out and runs better.

[opal flint]

Ur right 😦

[merry palm]

i dont have a preference between steam or epic tbh

[limpid flicker]

You could not make me use the Epic game store without threat of violence.

[opal flint]

Ill wait for Xbox ally

[sterile sequoia]

macs are nice, just wont be using one since mac barely supports virtualization

[opal flint]

Ty Rhinne

[scenic lotus]

steam is more convenient

[lucid sinew]

They might delist crysis warhead and crysis 2 on steam. Would buy now if you like the games or collecting

[cerulean basin]

Well, that's definitely a strong stance 😛

[vagrant mica]

I use steam for everything that isn’t on game pass (unless you have to use one of the other launchers).

[lucid sinew]

Sale ending pretty soon

[limpid flicker]

Oh I'm comedically overstating, but it holds no value to me. Free game on Epic? Great that's like not having it at all for my purposes.

[merry palm]

considering they both have leask and issues its like eh

i use steam more for other things* that epic doesnt have

[limpid flicker]

Uh, sorry, that was a reply to Anchel not to "A Gamer".

[merry palm]

like keeping track of wishlists

and updates

[lucid sinew]

It’s ok lol just wanted give that info to any collectors here.

[merry palm]

but id buy a game most anywhere

[sterile sequoia]

i just use epicgames for their weekly free games

[vagrant mica]

Cdkeys usually has a load of deals specifically on steam keys so that is also a big factor. I’m looking for the cheapest place to play a game

[limpid flicker]

I know I'm not everyone, which is why I added "for my purposes". For exactly what I want, PC games are Steam, Xbox, or nothing.

[lucid sinew]

Those are also EA games so impossible to get keys

[merry palm]

yeah its down to preferences

whatever works for peeps

i hate battle net though.

why i have to use it ever, idk

[vagrant mica]

I don’t like the ubisoft launcher

[limpid flicker]

I used to use bnet in my WoW phase...

[sterile sequoia]

used battlenet only for cod mw2

[merry palm]

i had to use it recently for something

made me actively not want to play that game.

[limpid flicker]

Sure do wish the Steam version of Sims 4 had achievements, BTW. Just while we're talking about PC launchers.

[merry palm]

and once its on your pc you cant have it load every time you open the xbox pc launcher?

[vagrant mica]

It logs me out sometimes for some reason. Super annoying

[merry palm]

i had to delete it instead to make it stop

[rare sparrow]

i'm trying to find a protagonist that is villainous

[merry palm]

you mean like deadpool

[sterile sequoia]

i also didnt like the riot launcher

[gray latch]

Turnip Boy

[limpid flicker]

Ever play Prototype, Cayo?

[merry palm]

turnip boy games were awesome

[gray latch]

heck yeah

[blissful fern]

Sup guys

Hyped rn. Getting Death Stranding 2 this Weekend.

[sour tangle]

yes, i forgot to finish the game abt tax evasion

[limpid flicker]

Wow, that's out already? I'm not, but will eventually.

[blissful fern]

Just need my own ps5 controller. My brother is lending his 5 so I can play it 😎

[vernal wind]

sup chat

[opal flint]

Sup

[sour tangle]

hi

[vernal wind]

i'm bored

[opal flint]

In waiting for Xbox ally x

[blissful fern]

The first one broke me. Had me in tears and became a therapeutic game for me. Really helped me sort out many things in my life.

[tired hare]

Me too. I might take a nap.

[vernal wind]

real

[sour tangle]

im looking for a xbox handheld not some windows slop

waiting*

[limpid flicker]

I liked it, but it didn't connect quite so hard as it did for you.

[blissful fern]

I’m gonna give this 3 months after release. If everything is positive about it. I’ll buy it.

[vernal wind]

fr i hate windows (I have a windows pc)

[sour tangle]

I hate windows (I have Linux pc)

[vernal wind]

nice

[sour tangle]

we are not the same

[limpid flicker]

Listen, for what it's worth the original RoG Ally is a decent machine, this one is the same but better. What's to know?

[opal flint]

https://tenor.com/view/get-out-of-there-liane-cartman-eric-cartman-south-park-s10e12-gif-21098170

[vernal wind]

i used to have a chromeOS

on my chromebook

[blissful fern]

I’m big into story based games with sci-fi elements but especially if there’s heavy biblical symbolism and some psychological elements.

[sour tangle]

poor laptop

[vernal wind]

fr

but i gave it to my brother

[opal flint]

I feel like cartman in south park when he freezes himself to pass the time waiting for Nintendo Wii

[sour tangle]

ChromeOS is Linux but... ChromeOS sucks

[vernal wind]

also can you not swear here?

[limpid flicker]

I know this is an anime rather than a game, but did you ever watch Evangelion? Because if you didn't you might wanna.

[gray latch]

love it!

[vernal wind]

like i said the a word and it was like nope

[limpid flicker]

You cannot. This server is for everyone 13+.

[vernal wind]

oh alr

well i don't mind

[limpid flicker]

There's dozens of other servers you can go for that, am I right?

[vernal wind]

for what?

swearing?

[limpid flicker]

Yes.

[blissful fern]

Yea. Loved it. Sucks that the entire plot of the show flew over everyone’s heads. It’s a psychological story about confronting yourself and accepting help. It’s a lil similar to what Kojima was trying to say in DS1.

[vernal wind]

i know. i said i don't mind not swearing though

[merry palm]

kojima is weird.

lookin forward to seeing death stranding 2 lol

[limpid flicker]

IDK about everyone, but a lot of people sure enough. Then again, doesn't help that the budget ran dry...

[sour tangle]

idk what are yall talking abt so im just reading 🔥

[blissful fern]

Naw. Hes an intellectual man. Love how his head works.

[merry palm]

weird.

those are not mutually exclusive

[vernal wind]

real

[blissful fern]

Everyone is an exaggeration. But you understood what I meant 😂

[sour tangle]

like wth is death stranding

[limpid flicker]

I'll have you know that the Multi-Talented Hideo Kojima (Writer, Director, Producer) is entirely normal and would never create a female character who breathes through her skin as an excuse to show her butt.

[merry palm]

a game

[blissful fern]

Play it. Only way to understand

[merry palm]

its a good game.

but its weird

[sour tangle]

idk it seems noname and weird

[merry palm]

its def not no name lol

[sour tangle]

i got it for free on epic games but i dont like medival/magic games

[limpid flicker]

The what now? It's neither of those things.

[vernal wind]

a game i watched jacksepticeye play but i fell asleep the whole video. he was playing the second one.

[blissful fern]

Death Stranding is also a symbolic representation of Kojima life. Yet it’s its own story and the blend of those two things is beautifully crafted.

[sour tangle]

the only games i play is hitman 3 and forza horizon so im not into games tbh

[limpid flicker]

It is also a symbolic representation of how much money Monster Energy paid KojiPro.

[blissful fern]

They took that off the Directors Cut but that’s ok.

[sour tangle]

Japanesse yap

[limpid flicker]

Kojima Productions

[merry palm]

like.. like it or not, kojima is not a no name person

[blissful fern]

That’s probably a kid

[merry palm]

eh. moving on

[limpid flicker]

This is honestly as good as if I called Arch a no-name OS. 😂

[merry palm]

😂

[gray latch]

it's okay not to know something, but best to do a lil research before talking too much about a thing you don't know 😄

[proven locust]

Hello

[merry palm]

yeah basically

[ripe grotto]

Sup

[merry palm]

i think death stranding was a good game , but weird.

[blissful fern]

Death Stranding was honestly my cardio motivation

[merry palm]

glad i had dark play it for me

[ripe grotto]

Took a nap a little while ago

[limpid flicker]

Is Lea Seydoux in the sequel?

[blissful fern]

Weird how? The game makes sense when you read all the emails.

[limpid flicker]

I think the sequel should be called Strand Dying. It's all about colourful hair.

[merry palm]

you carry around a half dead baby all the time to find ghosts like... none of that is normal 😂

[cerulean basin]

I enjoyed Death Stranding overall. The ending might make me furious, but it's still a good game with tons of unique ideas, and one where it's clear that having someone with a clear design direction all the way through can be so beneficial. More AAA games should take such risks, but few will for obvious reasons 😛

[merry palm]

that it makes sense in the game doesnt make it not weird

[limpid flicker]

Tes, did you beat the game, because I uh... I don't wanna drop no SPOILS...

[merry palm]

i agree!

[limpid flicker]

But... ||the baby is far from dead||

[granite verge]

When you swipe over to chat and this is the first sentence you see 🤣

[merry palm]

dark played it for me, sol. but yeah i saw the ending

[cerulean basin]

As much as reading the emails makes the story make more sense, it doesn't stop the game from being incredibly weird

[blissful fern]

What made u mad about the ending? It had me weeping.

[merry palm]

so many gaming things outside the context of gaming come off sounding crazy

[astral saffron]

I really couldn't get into it. I found it a bit boring. Not to say it was a bad game, just wasn't for me.

[blissful fern]

I’m probably weird because none of it was weird to me. It all made sense.

[merry palm]

i dont think i could have handled playing it alone. too scary, but watching while a friend did it was perfect for me

[limpid flicker]

Listen, if the story of Mama wasn't weird to you... I'm having a problem knowing what would be.

[cerulean basin]

You don't find any of the plot elements, the strands, the death stranding itself, the BTs, the weird powers the villain has... any of that weird? 😛

[blissful fern]

Naw. It was sad but not weird. It made sense to me.

[merry palm]

that it makes sense in the game universe isnt what we mean lol

[cerulean basin]

Because don't know what to tell you, none of those are elements you'll find in real life, or in most videogame stories for that matter

[merry palm]

^

[limpid flicker]

See, I think we just have a terminology problem. The terms "weird" and "makes sense" are not antonyms.

[merry palm]

also the music regularly threw me off 😂
like.. it was good but did not feel very matchy

[blissful fern]

No. I was hoping for a part two and hopefully that be explained and we got it.

[merry palm]

but the incongruence was part of keeping the vibe well.. a little odd

bit offstep all the time

[limpid flicker]

Low Roar RIP. 😭

[merry palm]

yea

[blissful fern]

Yeah I agree. Love their music

[limpid flicker]

Still, the singer got some time to see his success. That's not a kindness extended to everyone.

[blissful fern]

I get what ur saying. I never found it weird tho. I’m not arguing it isn’t for many people. But for me it was a normal thing in a video game.

I read a lot of books and I watch a lot of films. I’m also a writer. So stories like Kojimas writing aren’t strange or weird to me. Guess I’m used to it.

[cerulean basin]

It has a few too many things left unexplained that the game wants you to just go along with, despite taking several strides to try to scientifically explain everything else (for example: ||Amelie being an extinction entity, her purpose being to destroy it all, but hey, you know what, give me a hug and we'll call it a day like nothing ever happened||) but also the fact that the ending is like 3 hours long and even makes you go through the credits TWICE, because sure, why not

[cerulean basin]

Ah, the music was one of the highlights for me. It always felt very on point with the events that had just happened or trying to set a specific mood.

[merry palm]

the end never being the actual end 😂

[limpid flicker]

My biggest problem with the story is that Cliff (I think was his name) just feels kinda "ehh why not?"

[merry palm]

became this huge joke , i remember

[blissful fern]

Yeah idk wat to tell u man. I saw all this differently

[cerulean basin]

And that's fine

[merry palm]

it was very atmospheric, for sure. but sometimes while walking i was like..
how to explain.

[blissful fern]

When a song came on a delivery. It would hit me in the soul.

[merry palm]

kept me very aware that there was this very human person wandering along. it was a little mentally jarring.

did a great job, but was always like. .. 'oh' this is odd and a lil uncomfy

truthfully i think that was purposeful?

[blissful fern]

Aight guys. I wanna keep talking but I gtg. ✌️

[cerulean basin]

People can enjoy different games.
I still liked Death Stranding overall. Just felt the ending was too much for me (especially because I just wanted to go to bed already 😂) and at the same time it resolved too little of key plot points, or tried to resolve others by making things unnecessarily convoluted to drill the same point into your head

[limpid flicker]

The song "Don't Be So Serious" kept making me think of Heath Ledger as Joker.

[cerulean basin]

And yet it's a song that is a recurring theme on my phone's playlists

It really hit me hard that song

[merry palm]

loool yes. i was like.. how much longer is this going to be i want to get up from my pc.

[limpid flicker]

I never once said I dislike the song. Brain just do what brain do.

[earnest sage]

Evening folks, hope all is well.

[cerulean basin]

I remember having to pause the game during what seemed like the final boss fights, just so I could go grab a pizza or something at a restaurant, only to come back and see the game's ending keep going on for still several more hours

[limpid flicker]

If someone could just turn the thermostat for outside down like 6 degrees, all would be well. And it's not even that hot here, but still way more than I want.

Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says Square “collapsed” after Hironobu Sakaguchi left the company!

“To put it simply – he is the big boss. Always has been and always will be.”

“Maybe Sakaguchi isn’t aware of this, but the situation at Square was awful after he quit. He

[surreal hamlet]

New Warframe update is cool

Though I have broken my controller, thank god I have 2 bindable back buttons

[warped pendant]

Honestly he isn’t inherently wrong. The merger put them in dark times.

[tiny bramble]

does anyone play brawl stars dm

[rare sparrow]

is it true halo reach is a prequel to halo 1

[fluid creek]

yes

[rare sparrow]

the only prequel games i know are halo reach and rdr2

[fluid blade]

Soon Gears E-Day

[trail harness]

now if only LLMs could do that lol

[short mantle]

It’s time @warped pendant

[merry palm]

👀👀👀

[trail harness]

that reminds me of this

[merry palm]

The figurine also looks ready

[meager wyvern]

the game looks wonderful damn i hate exclusives

[ripe grotto]

Woah

[short mantle]

Venom doesn't mess around

[ripe grotto]

Venom wants to chew on the wires

[warped pendant]

I got gifted by one of my community members:

This and the controller but that arrives tomorrow

I don’t even have a PS5

[trail harness]

nice

[short mantle]

That's amazing

[merry palm]

Aww that's nice

[warped pendant]

“I know you love the series so I gotchu something”

[short mantle]

The controller looks so good

[warped pendant]

I can at least use that lol

Stellar blade and death stranding director’s cut on pc

Full feature support for dualsense

[vagrant mica]

Idk if death stranding is a game I’ll like

I have bought stellar blade on PC tho

[short mantle]

Talking about it made me want to get it too. 😅 I don't plan on using it though. I'll keep it in the box.

[warped pendant]

Heck yeah

[trail harness]

people call it a walking sim but it is more like a balancing weight sim XD

[short mantle]

A lot of people don't realize there's stealth and combat too. Instead of trying it for themselves, they're going off what other people say. It’s an incredible game.

[trail harness]

yeah it is

[blissful fern]

I’ll buy it. How much?

[warped pendant]

$230

https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-games/death-stranding-2-on-the-beach-collectors-edition-ps5

Plus tax

[spiral shore]

wow

looks good

😀

[warped pendant]

Lack of steelbook or disc option sucks though. I can kinda get disc

But no steelbook was the one downside. Even most digital only collectors editions have those

I wish they’d have went the Starfield collectors edition route

Steelbook with a qpid link in it with the code engraved

[rigid sentinel]

Hey your email shows your name fyi

[fluid creek]

Like it’s not his username already…

[warped pendant]

[vagrant mica]

You know, there are so many people that don’t realise that my actual name is Kieran

Like it’s some sort of gamertag

[warped pendant]

I met a child (middle school aged) with an honest to god born-given name “goku”

[short mantle]

I didn't realize they're using my government name. I have everything set to “Louie”.

[warped pendant]

The French version

[vagrant mica]

Goku is a cool name

I just got my wolverine V3 pro RMA’d and they are sending me a free replacement.

[summer bear]

Anyone else having connection or disconnecting to Xbox party chat ?

[vagrant mica]

The old one still works but doesn’t get detected by Razer apps

[summer bear]

I know people who is having issues with connecting and disconnecting anyone know if it's a known issue or ?

With Xbox live party chat

[iron ermine]

who’s ready for doom vr on Xbox

[desert sonnet]

I'm not 😨

[rigid sentinel]

Razer is so weird with rmas

From experience they ask you to destroy the product before they can rma it

[vagrant mica]

They made me cut the USB charging cable but it can charge with any USB lol

[rigid sentinel]

Yeah exactly

They ask to destroy it

[vagrant mica]

So they are shipping me a new device but this one still technically works

[blissful fern]

Naw u can keep it fam.

[warped pendant]

I am

I was telling you to buy your own

Not once did I ever indicate I wanted to get rid of it

[blissful fern]

Specify next time.

[warped pendant]

I never said it was for sale. I said I got it as a gift. You assumed I wanted to get rid of it from that?

[blissful fern]

I gotta wait till Sat to get my copy. Sigh. I wanted to play already

I missed out on the special soundtrack too 😅

[iron ermine]

Why not

[desert sonnet]

No VR headset yet 😞

[rigid sentinel]

Ah yes cutting a cable from also wireless device

[blissful fern]

Have they given a price for the vr?

[rigid sentinel]

Genius

[vagrant mica]

Yep

[iron ermine]

It does now

[desert sonnet]

No, I mean I don't have one

[blissful fern]

Whoah. Why is this vr $400 but the ps one was like 600$

[rigid sentinel]

Next they'll ask you to drown a snorkel before they can rma it

Or a rubble duck

[iron ermine]

Cuz PlayStation greedy

might be more greedy than Nintendo

[blissful fern]

I’m gonna wait it out and see if it’s worth it. I’ve always wanted to get into vr but I’ve yet to see a game that’s actually worth it for me

[iron ermine]

u like batman?

[rigid sentinel]

I mean its basically just a skinned oculus isnt it, and I think oculus is worth it

[blissful fern]

Not for vr. Tried a demo when I went to a convention. Didnt appeal to me.

[iron ermine]

Ok u like metro series?

[blissful fern]

It’s the gaming library tho. Nothing there attracts me.
Hopefully a game I feel is worthy releases on vr, then Ill fold.

[blissful fern]

They’re ok.

[rigid sentinel]

?

It can probably play Xbox games through cloud gaming id assume maybe

They make good pcvr if you get the link cable fyi

[blissful fern]

U lost me there

I don’t have a pc

My iPad does everything I need.

According to the website. I can stream my games to the vr headset.

[iron ermine]

U don’t need a pc to play its a standalone

[blissful fern]

Ah ok.

[night rapids]

"It lets you stream games from Xbox Cloud Gaming. You’ll need an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to do this"

[blissful fern]

I have that.

Pretty convenient tho

[iron ermine]

Yea which sucks I wish I can play the games I already own without ultimate

[blissful fern]

I’ll wait and see how it plays out long term. Cuz I am interested

[high quest]

Who is getting Xbox ally?

[blissful fern]

Ally x for me

Busy holiday season this year with all these games and tech being released.

[iron ermine]

I can buy a actual high end pc for 900

[high quest]

I can't decide what to get Nintendo switch 2 or steam deck or Xbox ally

[blissful fern]

True. But the joy of it is taking gaming on the go. Thats all I want

[deep pagoda]

if you run a game while trying to update another but your playing offline will it still upd slower

[iron ermine]

Get the switch 2

[blissful fern]

Do what the smart thing. Buy a switch 2. Check on the return policy. If it’s convenient then take advantage of it. U don’t like it. Return it. Get ur money back.

[short mantle]

OMG, DS2 looks so good.

[magic swallow]

looks like walking simulator v3

[short mantle]

Ok

[desert sonnet]

Hideo done gone did it again

[blissful fern]

I Don’t need the pro to play it right? It runs on basic 5?

[short mantle]

Yes, I'm playing on a basic PS5.

[desert sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/kojima-clap-kojima-gif-26545378

[blissful fern]

Awesome. Thanks

[merry palm]

Looking forward to seeing the game 👀
I don't get home until later so it's rough 😭

[magic swallow]

and people say PlayStation portal is a waste of money

[short mantle]

It’s not

[blissful fern]

I really wanted the BB from the collectors edition. But those scalpers prices r crazy.

[merry palm]

I'm not going to buy it lol
And it's not a waste of money. Doesn't apply to me in any way

[noble juniper]

Hello

[magic swallow]

Ik im saying it ain’t

[merry palm]

Then why tag me over it to say that????

[magic swallow]

Well cuz uhh u said u didn’t get home till later today and like the PlayStation portal is useful on the go so I used u as an example yk?

[blissful fern]

Isn’t that the device that streams games?

But doesn’t do anything on its own

[fluid creek]

Dawg are you incapable of letting people like things you don’t?

[vagrant mica]

It cannot play games natively no

[short mantle]

The Portal does remote play and cloud

[merry palm]

you have to have a PlayStation yea

[magic swallow]

WHO ME?

I said it’s useful

[blissful fern]

Missed opportunity on Sony to have made the portal their own switch or something

[merry palm]

My goal is to bully/talk a friend into playing it where I can watch 😂

[short mantle]

It’s a nice handheld. I use mine often.

[vagrant mica]

I could try death stranding 1 but Idk if it’s something I would enjoy. What kind of genre is it

[merry palm]

I have no idea how to categorize it tbh

[vagrant mica]

Yeah that’s where some of my hesitation comes from

[blissful fern]

Is there any way to get a trial run? Maybe watch some videos?

[iron ermine]

How can u use it on the go if you need internet

[short mantle]

Stealth/open-world action game

[unique folio]

Hi

[queen lotus]

The genre is Kojima

[short mantle]

lol

[merry palm]

It feels like is a bit outside the typical genre but yeah that the closest

[vagrant mica]

I like the stealth in plague tale

Is it around that level of difficulty

[short mantle]

You can adjust the difficulty

[magic swallow]

Can I say it

[blissful fern]

Since Plague tale was mentioned. I have to ask. Did anyone else find the kid super annoying or was it just me?

[iron ermine]

dude ur finna say walking simulator

[merry palm]

I wanna say it's a lot of fetch quests but that like...not really how it is? 😂
Kojima took fetch quests and went lol... Let's make that actually really cool and the whole game

And it's super good

[desert sonnet]

I want him to make a farming sim next. Can you imagine how wild that would be

[vagrant mica]

I felt like it added to the story in a certain way.

[merry palm]

Honestly that would be cool

[iron ermine]

Play grow a garden

[blissful fern]

I couldn’t do it man. Kid frustrated me.
