[merry palm]

Oof the quality on that gif lol

[silk mountain]

Ori was tough

3d would have been nice though I tend to like 3d platformers more

[solar brook]

When am I getting image perms for this server

I've been here of a year now

[wicked flax]

I'm the opposite.

I think the only 3d platformer I like is pac-man world

[night lintel]

No mario 64 or banjo kazooie?

For me a 3d platformer needs to have a proper artstyle

[brave wasp]

Ori is

[merry palm]

Less than 300 messages in a year is not exactly active 😅

[hearty plinth]

some us do 300 messages in a day

[merry palm]

I'd have thought you were brand new if not for looking it up lol

It's not so much the amount as the regular-ness

[wicked flax]

I can't with n64 controls tbh

[merry palm]

If you come in and say a handful of messages every week like ???
No one will really know who you are 😅

[wicked flax]

oh yeah, and I like Crash although their levels are more linear
I think that's what I like more actually.

[hearty plinth]

is spyro considered a platformer?

[night lintel]

Collectathons can be puzzling at times,no pun intended

[night lintel]

More like action adventure like ratchet

[ripe grotto]

Mario 40th anniversary next month

Sept 13th

Wonder if we’ll get a Mario game reveal

[night lintel]

We did

[kind tangle]

i would call spyro a platformer

theres lots of platforming in the game

[lusty crow]

What does TA say about Spyro? More times then not, TA's genre sorting is spot on.

[kind tangle]

TA?

[lusty crow]

TrueAchievements

[kind tangle]

never heard of them

[lusty crow]

It's one of the best achievement tracking websites. imo anyway.

[kind tangle]

I was always using gamefaqs and magazines

[oblique perch]

they have another website just for playstation as well pretty sure

trueachievements also has a discord server

[lusty crow]

They also have one for Steam, but that side is pretty dead. TT isn't that great either, since PSNP exists.

[kind tangle]

I never got into achievement hunting

I have the most achievements on halo

my gamerscore sucks though

even in my prime days I still wasnt a hardcore gamer

[tribal wasp]

gifs allowed here?

[oblique perch]

I don't believe so until you've chatted enough

[oblique perch]

what halo though?

[kind tangle]

all of them

[tribal wasp]

how do i remove they/them role ahh hell nah

[kind tangle]

biggest achievements were on halo 3

[oblique perch]

Even the newer halo's? I believe Halo 5 Guardians is the only one I have 100%

[lusty crow]

My GS is 135kish.

[oblique perch]

Vidmaster challenge was one I did so long ago, forgot what that achievement was called

[kind tangle]

i beat every halo game except odst and the spinoffs

[lusty crow]

React to they/them again and it should remove the role.

[tribal wasp]

NOT WORKING

[kind tangle]

sighhh

can we not shout

[lusty crow]

Although being referred to as they/them isn't the end of the world, since that's just what someone would use if they don't know your pronouns too. I'd be more freaking out if I accidentally took she/her over they/them lol

[tribal wasp]

😐

ok

[kind tangle]

shenmue 3 is coming to xbox

[tribal wasp]

when is xbox and ps hybrid coming out?

[kind tangle]

im so getting shenmue 3

[tribal wasp]

nerd

[kind tangle]

are you lost

this is where nerds hang out

[tribal wasp]

awww

[lusty crow]

I honestly didn't really even like Shenmue tbh

[tribal wasp]

im a different kind of nerd

😎

[kind tangle]

I like shenmue because of the atmosphere

it has a unique feel separate from yakuza

[tribal wasp]

sleeping dogs better

[kind tangle]

I have that too

[tribal wasp]

same

best action game

[lusty crow]

Comparing entirely different types of games is just weird.

That's like saying Arkham City is better then Gollum.

I mean it obviously is, but they're in entirely different worlds.

[tribal wasp]

ghostwire tokyo?

[tribal wasp]

the only satisfying thing from this game is pulling out cores

[hollow spade]

Got any Mepsipax? 🥤

[oak ice]

Hello everyone. Is there anyone who can help with the console?

[zealous heron]

[oak ice]

error code for 0x80a40020
what is this?

[broken kayak]

Should I play kingdom come deliverance 2 in standard or hardcore mode

[oak ice]

as i read on the internet, this is a console ban. Is it possible to unblock it somehow? because i bought it for my brother, and they bought it on "ebay" (ukrainian version is called olх) from another person

I would be very grateful if you could help me.🥺

[lusty crow]

If the console is banned, you were scammed and it's not possible to get it unbanned.

[north iron]

Nothing like clearing out an area in Fallout: New Vegas, just to have the game crash on the loading screen. Swear I never had this many issues playing on as I do playing BC on . Crashes, infinite loading screens, menu lag, VATs bugs...

[oak ice]

What if I submit a ticket?

[oak ice]

Well, as I understand it, there is a chance to unlock it only through Microsoft, and it's a very small chance, right?

[shrewd marsh]

Do you guys buy your games physically or digitally

[fallow moat]

Sometimes both, if it’s something new, digitally, if it’s something old, physically.

[cerulean basin]

Good morning, it's Monday, have a sad realization moment:

If you want to feel old, this is how the zoomer that made this game thinks you insert a VHS tape.

How dare you, Anchel 😂

[cerulean basin]

You're welcome 😝

[trail harness]

There were side loading VHS players but yeah most were not

and the cover for that looks too wide to be side loading

[cerulean basin]

Ugh... had so many social commitments this past weekend that I'm just left wondering when am I gonna get my actual weekend back. So not ready for Monday.

[hollow peak]

Anyone wanna help me get those drive points in overwatch 👉👈

[fallow moat]

Random rainstorm drops 2-3” of rain in portions of town over here 12 years ago today. That was insanity.

[kind tangle]

hey guys

[split herald]

Cool realisation moment: this is a Fortnite map

[clear flume]

i love xbox

[split herald]

It took me like 2 watches to figure out the gold text at the start was someone with a crown joining a Fortnite game

[wicked ridge]

new home for me today with many new people hope i can put my xbox somewhere one day but no internet for a long time

I feel like I move to a new world

[tame pecan]

[shy kestrel]

Who on Helldivers tomorrow?

[tame pecan]

No

[kind tangle]

I dont think I'll ever get to own a home which is why I bought a nice car instead

[bold monolith]

I’d die if I tried to take a cold shower

idk how my gf lives like that especially considering she lives in Alaska

[kind tangle]

you get used to them

[bold monolith]

and it takes me like 20 minutes alone just to wash my hair

[kind tangle]

dang

[bold monolith]

so like cold showers are a no go for me

[kind tangle]

I had long hair once

it never grew past my shoulders but it was a fun time in my life

I dont think Ill ever grow it back though

[bold monolith]

the only girl who can pull off short or no hair in my opinion is Britney Spears, I could never

I haven’t had my hair cut since January 2023

and that was only a few inches cut off

[kind tangle]

yeah trims

[trail harness]

nya

[kind tangle]

I have a style I like so I get the same haircut everytime now

[bold monolith]

rn my hair goes down to my rib cage

[kind tangle]

I try to emulate bruce willis from the 90s

[bold monolith]

idk who that is

[kind tangle]

what

really?

[bold monolith]

I’ve never heard that name

[kind tangle]

ok

Im just getting older

he used to be the biggest name in hollywood

[bold monolith]

I’m assuming he’s probably like a tv actor from that timeframe or smth

[kind tangle]

movie actor

[bold monolith]

ah

[kind tangle]

I feel like everything I like is from 30 years ago

[bold monolith]

the only actresses and actors I can name is Jamie Lee Curtis, Kane hodder, Jessica Rothe, Ted white, Scarlett Johansson and Robert Englund

I don’t know many lol

[kind tangle]

[bold monolith]

and Ashley tisdale as well technically

[kind tangle]

[dark yoke]

Not watched it yet so excited.

[kind tangle]

[bold monolith]

I only watch horror

[kind tangle]

I watch other genres but I gravitate to action

[dark yoke]

Action / Fantasy

[bold monolith]

that’s fair

[kind tangle]

I just had a major binge of hong kong action movies

[trail harness]

4 am here

[kind tangle]

I did watch 6 chow yun fat movies this month

[dark yoke]

Similar but I love Jet Li movies

And IP Man

[kind tangle]

I have like 4 or 5 jet li movies on dvd

[trail harness]

Waiting on a package, currently in the hands of Japan Post. We will see how this goes as the shipping method is not something I have used before.

I have other action heroes in between but those are the main ones

[mortal siren]

Ahh that means u can't ask anyone

I don't care. That's not something to ask here.

Diving into gears tomorrow

😏

[dark yoke]

Straight to Campaign I can’t wait.

Then onto King of The Hill.

[cloud sable]

Question, does the New Zealand thing work with Helldivers

[fiery python]

No

It's a global unlock. The New Zealand thing also violates Terms of Service and is considered marketplace fraud.

[cloud sable]

Wait I did not know that, what makes it so bad?

[fiery python]

Because you're lying about your location to gain early access to something.

[cloud sable]

Well I a certainly excited for Helldivers. And I will be busy on the 26th so I can’t play a lot of Helldivers that day. I’m sorry for that

I had no idea that was against the rules

[bold monolith]

prob a dumb question but what if you fly to said country and play there would that be against tos

because I played a good amount of games while I was in au and nz

[fiery python]

You never change your account region unless you move to live in a different country on a permanent / long term basis. Vacations/trips etc do not count.

[bold monolith]

I was there for 9 months

[fiery python]

Your account region should be set to your home address.

[bold monolith]

it wasn’t my console anyways so i think im fine

[vapid mesa]

Which console are we talking about

[fiery python]

Any

[vapid mesa]

@bold monolith I notice that it said 6 7 when I clicked on your pfp

[bold monolith]

yeah it’s madonnas 67th birthday month

[vapid mesa]

@fiery python even then oldest ones

[fiery python]

Any where online game access and regions applied.

[vapid mesa]

@bold monolith That is so cool

Do we know what games are coming on game pass next month

[bold monolith]

thanks?

[vapid mesa]

I just wanna know the games coming on game pass

[fiery python]

You can check announcements here - https://twitter.com/xboxgamepass

[green laurel]

Only one i know is silksong

[desert sonnet]

Powerwash Simulator 2 is launching on gamepass too

[cloud sable]

But yeah, I’m excited for Helldivers and can’t wait to play that, and also I’m getting the ODST warbond

[tranquil imp]

this is like the perfect serevr

one without playstation or pc kids

[fiery python]

Hi. I'm playing on PlayStation right now.

[tranquil imp]

ur staff

[fiery python]

Yep

[cloud sable]

Anybody here getting Helldivers?

[tranquil imp]

yes yes yes but im saying its very ironic cuz we are in a XBOX server

[fiery python]

Nothing ironic about it.

[tranquil imp]

ok

[uneven lava]

yo my Xbox one is getting bad FPS in game how do I fix

[fiery python]

Still undecided.

[dark yoke]

Xbox players can also be PlayStation / PC / Nintendo players among others too.

[tranquil imp]

uh depends

[tranquil imp]

its not cloud gaming

then have enough storage

and wifi ig

[fiery python]

Storage does not affect fps

[tranquil imp]

it could make the game slower

[uneven lava]

no I got good WiFi and storage but it just can't run games at even 30 consistent

[fiery python]

At least not storage capacity.

[sterile sequoia]

ooh nice!

[dark yoke]

Nice I managed to get some Pokemon cards at retail

I was shocked, but hey, I’ll open later.

[vagrant mica]

Honestly don’t think I could play vanilla minecraft after playing modded. I haven’t played it for so long that I’m unsure what in this mod is even vanilla

[tranquil imp]

what was the tattoo

[oak cloud]

you can't speak about dismantling your console to see what's wrong with it. Yes, it's indeed "perfect"

[fiery python]

Stop moaning, Marius

It's a very simple and common sense rule to follow.

[oak cloud]

what, i agreed with his statement. I said it's perfect

[fiery python]

Right "sure you did"

[worn ocean]

Has anyone experienced lately where xbox game presence shows that i'm still playing a game, even though i closed it a whole day ago?

[fiery python]

Not recently, but I had it happen years ago when the feature was pretty new.

It showed I was playing the same game for 12 days straight 😂

[worn ocean]

Likewise but now it's back. I've got like 3 more days on the game

[oak cloud]

it's showing that i'm playing pool blitz even tough i quit 30 mins ago. Or is it because i have quick resume on 🤔

[worn ocean]

It doesn't happen to me on console but through xbox pc app

[oak cloud]

I'm literally on Soundcloud rn and it's showing i'm playing pool 😂

[worn ocean]

Yeah it's showing through discord aswell

[oak cloud]

nvm it stopped 🙏

[dark yoke]

Apologies but I do mind unless you’re a close friend or I’ve known you for a while.

[fiery python]

I'm sure they don't, but doesn't mean you can use being new as an excuse if you've ignored the rules.

[worthy palm]

ah okay it's just one of my best friends back stabbed me I'm just trying to make friends sorry for making u uncomfortable tho

And you seemed pretty chill

All good, don’t worry, you can ask, just wanted to give you my honest answer ☺️

Sorry to hear about your friend though 🙏

[worthy palm]

It's fine. Honestly I knew what's going to happen. I talk a lot and make people uncomfortable even though I don't intend to

[dreamy prawn]

idk who you are honestly

[worthy palm]

Maybe because I wasn't talking to you

[dreamy prawn]

what are you saying lol

ok cya

[worthy palm]

Is it possible you have dementia?

[fiery python]

This is why you make people uncomfortable. Comments like this.

Also asking people how much money they earn falls under rule 8 as personal info.

[dreamy prawn]

my fault

[pearl gazelle]

how did i just get access to microsoft edge on my xbox..

[fiery python]

It's a standard app

[pearl gazelle]

im texting to yall THROUGH my frikin xbox

this is why xbox is better than playstation

[fiery python]

Because it has a bare bones browser?

[pearl gazelle]

maybe

[fiery python]

Yeah, that's what I want in a games console.

[pearl gazelle]

fr fr

doing homework on a gaming console is fire

[hearty plinth]

I wouldnt do homework on a console tbh

[pearl gazelle]

thats EXACTLY what i need in a GAMING CONSOLE

[pearl gazelle]

too bad im doing it rn

[sharp plank]

Add coding to Xbox and it will sell like fire… especially with AI and stuff I think 500$ is a bargain for that performance

[pearl gazelle]

lool

[lusty crow]

What I want/need in a gaming console is ... idk...the ability to play games?

[fiery python]

Sounds like a data loss disaster waiting to happen if you ask me.

[hearty plinth]

It would cost more than that

[sharp plank]

The unified memory can be helpful… I dunno why they don’t do it…

[pearl gazelle]

what i think i need in a console is... idk.. maybe the squear rout of X?

[fiery python]

Really does amaze me at times what people think will make a console sell like crazy and all the ideas are always the exact opposite of what people buy consoles for.

[hearty plinth]

Totally agree. Plus what if a lot of more complicated topics like quantum physics and stuff like that lol

[pearl gazelle]

buddy i watch movies on my ps4 and call it "a tv"

[lusty crow]

I literally read that as "add cooking to the XBox."

[fiery python]

It would be like telling Ford to add a wardrobe in their cars. It would sell like fire yo

[pearl gazelle]

that would be like adding a RTX 5090 to a ps6,would be ice cold yo

and yes, i am mocking you

[sharp plank]

Why do you think it’s so out of place? The whole thing functions in code

[fiery python]

Why would you call it a TV when it's not a display and is connected to a TV?

[pearl gazelle]

[fiery python]

No, that would be an actual relevant suggestion for once.

[pearl gazelle]

idk cuz its a frikin ps4 ?

[fiery python]

Exactly, so it's not a TV...

[hearty plinth]

The browser on console is ok for regular searches and stuff. But i wouldnt use it. It cant download anything like ur phone or laptop/pc can do

[pearl gazelle]

poopoo..

[fiery python]

Always good to have a mature debate.

[pearl gazelle]

eh i mean.. I CAN STILL PLAY HALO THO

ON 1.5 FPS TOO!

im using google, keyboard, and mouse on a frikin xbox, this is js a pc at this point.

[sharp plank]

don’t know what you mean…

[bold monolith]

I normally try to avoid debates

[hearty plinth]

Sometimes i need to download excel files that u cant do on a console

[hearty plinth]

Its not. Highly restrictive compared to a pc. Browser has bad ram utilization compared to a pc or laptop

[sharp plank]

I don’t know why they can’t coexist

[pearl gazelle]

duh

istg if someone here uses a xbox one

[misty comet]

Xbox has great ram optimisation for using browser, it makes perfect sense to prioritise games.

[lusty crow]

Lots of people still do ... not everyone can afford to upgrade.

[pearl gazelle]

good.. i wish i had an xbox one x cuz series S is ON FRIKIN 1080P I NEED THE 4K MAN

[hearty plinth]

Series s upscales to 4k

[pearl gazelle]

one X is native 4k tho

[fiery python]

Not in all games.

[pearl gazelle]

still native tho

[fiery python]

Series S is far better than One X.

[hearty plinth]

But limited to 30 or 60fps and only xb1 games or older

[pearl gazelle]

i mean hey atleast i can type on microsoft edge without my words looking like absolute dog poop

[pearl gazelle]

i mean... still native tho

[sharp plank]

Tbh I don’t know where is gaming going rn… like yes we have fun games and people will keep buying them… but what’s the next Halo moment?

[pearl gazelle]

i wish halo 3 would come back, i miss going to my friends house and taking turns or just playing online on my broken xbox 360..

[hearty plinth]

Dont really care about halo games. Im more into open world games

[pearl gazelle]

memories.

[pearl gazelle]

like dbzk?

[misty comet]

Halo 3 was better than any fps atm

[hearty plinth]

No. Like ff7 remake and rpgs

[sharp plank]

Like going on looking at a game and saying..’yes that’s how it’s supposed to be made’

[pearl gazelle]

ngl god of war would look absolute booty cheeks on xbox series S

[sharp plank]

Looked good on ps4

[pearl gazelle]

eh true

[hearty plinth]

So if the game gets ported to xbox i would imagine it would play fine on series s. U dont need 120fps in god of war

[pearl gazelle]

ngl tho.. the second that new handheld comes out, its gonna get plumited by switch 2 in sales.

[pearl gazelle]

facts................

[sharp plank]

Did anyone watch kpop demon hunters? Songs are stuck in my head

[bold monolith]

I’ve never played it but I don’t really play shooters

[hearty plinth]

Yeah

[misty comet]

360 Halo era was magical

[night lintel]

Yup gaming was on its downfall afterwards

[hearty plinth]

There has been great games throughout the years not just on the 360

[desert sonnet]

Here's how I feel about those days

[bold monolith]

the life is strange franchise gave gaming a huge boost for me

and vr gaming

[hearty plinth]

Vr gaming is still a niche thing. I borrowed by cousins vr headset for a few weeks but it still make me sick to my stomach playing games

[bold monolith]

I’ve been obsessed with vr for years and once I got my quest 3 in 2024 I was so happy

[desert sonnet]

[fiery python]

It all depends on the type of games you play in VR. If you get motion sick, try games where you stand still, or use teleport movement instead of standard locomotion.

[void sequoia]

VR is quite disorienting to me

[fiery python]

Other things that can help is having a fan blowing at your face.

[bold monolith]

I thought I would get sick in vr but I’ve never gotten motion sickness

and I play a lot of fast paced vr games

[wanton jolt]

or eat ginger

[fiery python]

I tend to not play games that involve standard locomotion as that can set me off sometimes, but my tolerance for it has improved. I just don't use VR often enough to build up the tolerance fully. So I tend to stick to stationary or teleport movement games.

[bold monolith]

when you do play vr what’s your fav game

[fiery python]

Right now, rarely. It's been far too hot.

[wanton jolt]

Beat Saber

[bold monolith]

for me it’s assassin‘s creed nexus and beat saber

[wanton jolt]

Beat Saber woop woop

[fiery python]

My most played game is probably Beat Saber or Pistol Whip

[bold monolith]

I’ve been meaning to try pistol whip for a while

[wanton jolt]

Have you tried Arkham Shadow? that's pretty good

[lusty crow]

I don't have VR and I likely never will. There's not enough games I want to play that require VR. The only two I can currently think of are VTM Justice and the WtA VR game.

[hearty plinth]

Plus not a lot of support for vr.

[bold monolith]

it came with my quest and I love it

[wanton jolt]

Also Half Life Alyx

I'm looking forward to Deadpool VR

[bold monolith]

wish I still had my pc so I could play that

pcvr is something i probably won’t do until i move houses so i can buy another pc

[hearty plinth]

I doubt vr is going mainstream anybtime soon if ever

[steady pilot]

Vr never does. It’s a niche. Has been since 90s

[bold monolith]

I mean it’s come a long way form the virtual boy

like a really long way

[sharp plank]

I don’t think gamers will do anything physical, it might remain a niche thing

[idle spear]

Half Life Alyx is cool, that’s the main stand out I noticed

[night lintel]

Car sims

[open dagger]

You lot excited for Helldivers 2?

[dark yoke]

Gears Reloaded for me

Both release tomorrow

[open dagger]

Oh damn! Guess we're eating good!

[hearty plinth]

Im waiting on bl4 and tales of xillia remastered

[open dagger]

Really hoping BL4 is going to be good! BL3 was fun but it didn't feel as good as the previous games.

[bold monolith]

me personally no

[open dagger]

Truly sorrowful...

[bold monolith]

just not my type of game

[open dagger]

Ahahhaha, kidding, we all have different views and such.

[hearty plinth]

Yeah. The expansions are more confusing this time around. Which are story and new character dlcs

I dont believe new characters should have been included as "dlcs"

[idle spear]

I was reading gears releases 4pm here tomorrow so quite late in the day

[fiery python]

3pm UK time I think

Oh wait, no, it's 4pm UK time.

It was a different time zone that was 3.

And 9am BST for Helldivers 2

[vocal gorge]

18 days until Borderlands 4!

[hearty plinth]

Does anyone else besides me dont like that bl4 has vault hunters locked behind dlcs?

[dark yoke]

Yes 4pm

[worldly charm]

Om God yesss borderlands 4 then fallout 5

[desert sonnet]

Ooo and here's the launch times for Helldivers

Kinda sporadic times they picked here for some reason

[night lintel]

Helldivers on gamepass when

[fiery python]

Never

[hearty plinth]

Fallout 5 probably in like 5 plus years which is after es6

Especially since helldivers 2 is a ps owned ip

[noble ocean]

Hi

[desert sonnet]

I wonder when we'll get a first look at Elder Scrolls 6.

[fiery python]

They also confirmed it's not going to go to Game Pass.

[hearty plinth]

True

[hearty plinth]

Probably in 2026 or 2027

[rotund niche]

damn I can't believe we're less than a day away

from me being able to finally play HD2 with my Xbox brothers

[hearty plinth]

Dont u mean ps and pc brothers and sisters lol

[rotund niche]

no

i'm on PC

[hearty plinth]

Oh

I will get helldivers 2 maybe?

[rotund niche]

you should, it's fun!

[hearty plinth]

I got tired of pvp or pve games

They only thing that interest me is bl4

[wanton jolt]

play story games

[merry palm]

What does that even mean?????

Games with story??? 😂

That's like...almost all the games.

[hearty plinth]

Yeah

[merry palm]

Even the pvp games have a story a lot of times

[fallow moat]

Today’s high is 30C (95F)

[merry palm]

It's my new pet peeve. The term 'story games' .

[hearty plinth]

So r u melting yet Supr?

[fallow moat]

Oh it was 111 on Thursday.

[merry palm]

So close to autumn

[fallow moat]

Gonna cloud up this afternoon

[hearty plinth]

What does that even mean? Play on xcloud?

[merry palm]

😂

Ok I know people have an idea what they mean when they say this but pls.. clue us in to what that actually means bc I'm at a loss

Cause like... Fr I'm lost

My brain inserts story of seasons but I'm sure that's not what people meant 😂

Brb gotta move my car

[fallow moat]

More clouds and could possibly rain

is what it meant

[green laurel]

Rest of week gonna storm here

[merry palm]

I'm very excited bc today is only supposed to get to 97 😂

[fiery python]

https://tenor.com/view/weather-rain-ollie-williams-family-guy-overflow-gif-5473201

[green laurel]

Also tes story games = single player is what people mean

[merry palm]

Minesweeper story mode /j

[merry palm]

Ah. Still maintain it's a wildly unhelpful term.

[open flume]

holy cow i didnt realize Erin was this large heading toward yall

[fallow moat]

Erin is enormous.

[summer magnet]

oh yeah I was reading up on that earlier

[open flume]

yall wanted respite from the heat wave.. well.. um... you got it lol

[merry palm]

I mean ..

Yes but mostly bc it will be warm and wet

[open flume]

LOL

but also clouds

[merry palm]

And the wind

[summer magnet]

I just want it cooler lol

[green laurel]

Bring erin on. The hurricane part isnt really coming

[merry palm]

Warm , moist.... Windy air. And flooding

[summer magnet]

I need Autumn

[merry palm]

Yes. Same

[open flume]

foreign word to me

[summer magnet]

lol

[merry palm]

My cardigans are feeling neglected

[summer magnet]

Same. And my hoodies

[green laurel]

I wanna cuddle up under blankets not melt

[summer magnet]

I have so many blankets

Yet I still buy more 😂

[merry palm]

Same

[dark yoke]

Yeah I’m desperate for winter 😭

[merry palm]

But they are all different!

[fiery python]

This weekend

[summer magnet]

👀

[merry palm]

Weekend more blankets????

This is how I read that

[summer magnet]

We're in Manchester this weekend and there's a primark

[fallow moat]

We’ve gone from 43.89C (111F) as a high down to 30C (95)

[merry palm]

Oooooo nice

Yes more blankets

[summer magnet]

If a blanket falls into my basket, that's not my fault

https://tenor.com/view/innocent-gif-26144074

[merry palm]

They have cute stuff some.times there. I see the pics... It's a bit far for shipping things 😂

[summer magnet]

It's always dangerous for me to go in there lol

[fallow moat]

Oh, 89 degrees at like 5 pm.

[merry palm]

Welcome to the summer

It's not autumn until mid/late September

[summer magnet]

Yep

It sucks

[dark yoke]

Oooo you’re in my home City 😄🙏

Yeah the Primark is huge. Been there for a long time.

[merry palm]

I'm trying to just soak up what vitamin d from the sunlight I can atm

[fiery python]

Yeah, that's where I'm from, so up visiting family.

[merry palm]

Before it's gone again

[dark yoke]

Ahhh never knew that! 😄

[merry palm]

Hi rhinnes family (next weekend)

[summer magnet]

There is also a Stitch cafe in Primark

[merry palm]

I see your real priorities 😂

[summer magnet]

Darn right 😂

[hearty plinth]

Question is what didnt lucy buy at that Stitch cafe lol

[fiery python]

We missed it last time they had it. They have different themed cafes. But it's back on now until September, so nicely timed.

[fiery python]

Everything, because we haven't been yet.

[summer magnet]

Rhinne really wants to go as well

He's very excited

[lucid sinew]

Yea I wish I got ambassador champion and had my face on the Xbox website

[trail harness]

Sadly a lot of people were not using it for its intended purpose

[midnight narwhal]

What’s your guys’s favorite Xbox exclusive?

Only reason why I’m asking is because I saw gears of war is coming on PlayStation. And I just wanted to ask you guys that question

[dark yoke]

Gears of War

[limpid flicker]

There are no exclusives anymore, we're past that era of gaming.

[midnight narwhal]

Right

[dark yoke]

Exclusive till tomorrow 😝

[limpid flicker]

Well, Unless you're Nintendo. Then everything is exclusive. 🙁

[midnight narwhal]

Forgot 😅

Well, what are we supposed to call them? Non exclusives?

[green laurel]

Nintendo have their audience on lock

[open flume]

games

[trail harness]

I still want Bayonetta 2 and 3 on PC ngl

[open flume]

like how they called them before the internet ruined any form of civil discussion on anything

[dark yoke]

I want Pokemon XD on PC

[midnight narwhal]

Nintendo is so overrated tbh

At least in my opinion

True, they have made many classics

But lately their games have been..

[limpid flicker]

But if you're asking about my favourite thing Xbox publish, then... hmmm... probably Elder Scrolls but IDK really.

[green laurel]

I think some franchises are now but most of the time they are solid games every time

[midnight narwhal]

I thought you said Elden ring for a minute lol

[trail harness]

Elden Scrolls Ring /j

[limpid flicker]

Hah yeah no you slept and Microsoft bought From. /JOKING.

[green laurel]

Elder ring scrolls

[trail harness]

a soulslike Elder Scrolls game would be interesting ngl

[merry palm]

read this a fave xbox plush.

[dreamy prawn]

man in my country 1 dollor xbox gift card costs 4 dollors

[limpid flicker]

It would shake things up soooo much if Xbox were to secure a big Japanese developer. IO would love to see the chaos.

[trail harness]

cough Xbox had Tango cough

[limpid flicker]

If they made plush Xboxes, the OG would be my fave.

[vast pagoda]

Less than 24 hours till Helldivers!!

[trail harness]

ik they weren't huge but still

[green laurel]

Honestly could see xbox buying sega in future

[limpid flicker]

Truuueeee, but I was thinking of them acquiring one with an existing track record, kinda like LC's suggestion.

[trail harness]

I'm not sure I can trust Xbox with Japanese companies after what they pulled not long ago

[hearty plinth]

Not really.

[upbeat matrix]

Japanese corporations have this kind of agreement to not be bought by westerners
And especially bigger Japanese corporations that contribute largely to the economy

[limpid flicker]

Given that Atlus games (Sega owns Atlus) used to come to PS more often than anything, and given that Yakuza started out as PS2-only, that would be a move to register on the Richter scale.

[hearty plinth]

Yeah what sushi said

[upbeat matrix]

Shutting down tango I think was because they were hated by zenimax
Not really sure
But it was a huge mistake and a fumble
They were a great studio

[wet drum]

hello chat

[idle spear]

I hope Xbox doesn’t buy any more of them tbh these layoffs have been horrendous

[green laurel]

Im not saying i want xbox to buy everything either. But they have been extremely close with xbox in recent times

[limpid flicker]

I know it probably isn't gonna happen for Xbox to acquire a large dev, I just like to think of the chaos.

[hearty plinth]

Dont mean close that they want to be brought by microsoft

[upbeat matrix]

Yeah I assume we’d be getting more Sega games on Xbox or at least agreements to prevent any timed exclusivity deals to PlayStation 5 in the future

[midnight narwhal]

What non-Xbox exclusive do you guys think is coming to PlayStation next?

[idle spear]

Microsoft buys all these companies lays off a massive amount of talent. Can’t really say it’s worked out well for people there

[hearty plinth]

Plus a lot of anti trust laws have been changed since the akb acquisition

[upbeat matrix]

I doubt Nintendo would give Sony anything major

[midnight narwhal]

Or anything

[upbeat matrix]

Yeah
Gotta sell their own consoles
It’s working out for them

[limpid flicker]

if anything, I think that the aftershocks from ActiBlizz acquisition haven't settled yet. I'm sure Xbox are making some good bank out of it, but the organisational challenges might be bigger than most folks suspect.

[green laurel]

Yeah I don't think anything major for a while

[desert sonnet]

It's wild how long it's taking for some Activision games to be on gamepass

[green laurel]

But its gonna change the industry if studios are bought and nothing changes to games releases. Like not exclusives

[limpid flicker]

I also wonder how long until the acquisition cost actually is outweighed by revenue. It will happen, and some bean counters have worked out how long until it happens, but I think it hasn't happened yet.

They have their charts, expected revenue (billions of dollars) from ABK games per quarter projected.

[vale geyser]

who wanna add each other on xbox

[midnight narwhal]

I don’t have Xbox so yea

[vale geyser]

kk dw

[midnight narwhal]

Wow, I thought you were gonna criticize me

[green laurel]

You shall not pass!! /j

[limpid flicker]

But as for which game made by Xbox goes over there next, IDK it's open season. Y'all arealdy got Forza, Gears, and IDK what else. I don't believe there's such a thing as the game that won't come over.

[desert sonnet]

They're never gonna get Whacked!

Or Brute Force 😏

[idle spear]

Starfield probably not far away.

[green laurel]

Yep

[hearty plinth]

I think microsoft gonna do something big in september during tokyo games show i hope

[limpid flicker]

I know Brute Force, I don't even know Whacked. What is it?

[desert sonnet]

It was a raunchy adult party game that was exclusive to the original Xbox

[green laurel]

Already seen rumours lol

[hearty plinth]

I wasnt talking about rumors

[limpid flicker]

OMG wow. I thought Xbox always had strong policies against that. They sure do now.

[idle spear]

Kind of the Wild West when OG Xbox was around I think

[limpid flicker]

Yeah I wonder if DoAX would even make it to the XB1 or later.

[idle spear]

I mean the Dead or alive adverts and all

[open flume]

ABK revenue was roughly 2 billion dollars every quarter. This is a long-term expansive acquisition for them. I cant recall what was reported in the FTC case but it was a journey back to even

[limpid flicker]

Yeah I figured the road back would be a long one. As much as I hate it, that's why layoffs, most likely.

[desert sonnet]

Yea. I remember the commercials for it and thinking times were wild

[open flume]

also keeping in mind it was an all-cash acqui

[idle spear]

They didn’t even release X3 or any of the newer ones in the west. I don’t think we will see those again here

[limpid flicker]

Know what the wild thing about those games is? They were a genuinely very good simulation of beach volleyball, and highly challenging.

Then AFAIK they even dropped volleyball from the later games because well... that wasn't the core appeal.

[idle spear]

The new one I think is just a dating sim

[limpid flicker]

Exactly. DoAX Venus Vacation I believe.

[idle spear]

And only 2 of the actual DOA characters from the fighting games which kind of tells you everything

[limpid flicker]

Well it tells me they've found an effective revenue stream with a specific target market and are focusing in on what they want, but yeah I totally get you. I just can't bring myself to hate the hustle.

[idle spear]

Don’t think DOA6 did very well but hopefully they do another one

[limpid flicker]

If you found a relatively easy way to guarantee big sales in the domestic market, would you not take it?

[reef lagoon]

hello guys is anyone using xbox 360 in 2025?

[desert sonnet]

I only played the first beach volleyball game and remember it being awesome

[limpid flicker]

At least one person. My partner played it last night. Why?

[reef lagoon]

i can't buy xbox one, but i want have some friends. I don't have gold

[desert sonnet]

The most expensive thing to buy in-game really said a lot about them not shying away from the appeal

[limpid flicker]

Hmmm, good lukc.

[reef lagoon]

Great.

Where i can find some friends?

[weary solar]

Oh, a bot?

Cool.

[fiery python]

You don't need to limit yourself to people specifically on 360, as many people play back compat games on XB1 and Series consoles too.

[desert sonnet]

It was an outfit. Barely an outfit but still an outfit 😆

[reef lagoon]

Okay.

[limpid flicker]

I remember, then. 🤣

[idle spear]

That reminds me the outfit on 360 was a pretty fun exclusive

Also, how do i install youtube on xbox today?

On xbox 360.

[idle spear]

Don’t think you can anymore on 360

[reef lagoon]

Okay, also what is the most common games people play on xbox 360?

[fallow moat]

I might be going on halo, Destiny the most

[idle spear]

Call of duty and Left 4 Dead 2 fairly active

[fallow moat]

For H2 only custom games

[fiery python]

No, it's not fine. Nor is it something you can talk about here.

they made it iced 🙁

ultimate first wold problem for sure but i am so sad

[hearty plinth]

Same here. Its werid when i go to the office i like ice coffee but when i remote at home i like hot coffee

[fluid creek]

no i like hot coffee all the time

occasionally i'll grab iced

but my preference is hot

[rotund niche]

hot chocolate is always in season

[fluid creek]

btw @open flume the cereal milk at dunkin is hella sweet

but not bad

[rotund niche]

i never understood when ppl say they can only drink it in the winter or christmas time

[fluid creek]

fun to get once

[subtle stump]

I am with you on that one. It would be a rare occasion if I walked into a coffee store & order anything cold

[open flume]

im currently mad at dunkin

[rotund niche]

[open flume]

sam we havent discussed this

but im outraged

[fluid creek]

[fluid creek]

[open flume]

the ingredients are: -- espresso. and coffeemilk

[fluid creek]

yes

i bought my own coffee syrup to make my own at home cuz i'm lazy

[open flume]

[fluid creek]

After 3 and a half years my controller has succumbed to stick drift what good budget options are there?

[shrewd maple]

guys just 2 days left!

[queen lotus]

PowerA makes budget controllers

[green laurel]

2?

[shrewd maple]

and you can experience the most trivialized helldivers since launch ever! now you can play the hardest diff easy mode solo despite being in a 4 man lobby.

[bold monolith]

idk how but I’ve never gotten stick drift on my Xbox controllers even my older ones

[green laurel]

its tomorrow

[shrewd maple]

the thing that made helldivers 2 cool and epic was the pure mayhem of action you had while running as a squad several times just inches away from
loosing control and getting overrun

[fiery python]

@shrewd maple People are excited for the game. Don't start being all negative about it, please.

Let people enjoy the launch and make their own minds up.

[lapis lichen]

The right stick goes up randomly and sometimes the button doesnt work and recently ive gotten into doom and its very noticeable there

The glory kills randomly dont work which is bad

[fluid creek]

@shrewd maple stop.

[trail harness]

I've been trying to find out what the coffee milk that I see mentioned in Japanese games is exactly

[fluid creek]

if you post something else after you've been told to stop twice i'm muting you for a month @shrewd maple

[subtle stump]

It all depends on your budge. If you mostly play calm, relaxed games then the standard controller would be fine. If you are looking for a competitive edge then the Elite Series should fit best

[south beacon]

interesting how the sequels Sony produced for PS5 get a lot of hate compared to the prior games.

[shrewd maple]

it’s like with most games first they release a game that is beloved but to make the game available/enjoiable for more people(even if just for a short time) they abandon what made their game great in the first place. it happens with all games.

[south beacon]

not related to my conversation about Helldivers.

Moreso I was thinking aloud about Spider-Man 2, Ragnarok, and HFW

[shrewd maple]

mhhh god of war i liked the old ones much more didn’t even finish the third person versions.

[south beacon]

I see this common discussion that most felt bored with the follow up games

[lapis lichen]

Just something thats reliable

[merry palm]

What .. do I dare scroll back???

[trail harness]

sounds delicious to me... I love coffee and I love milk

[shrewd maple]

i hate coffe

bad for teeth

water only

[merry palm]

Ok but... Just make coffee and add milk?

[subtle stump]

If your looking for something that won’t break the bank the. You could try 3rd party Xbox certified controllers

[south beacon]

problems more so these studios invest in a new idea or new IP, and it gets praised pretty well. You get a follow up game, and there's some aspect about it, most often I see the complaint being that they were fine with the games story ended off after the first game and felt that the stories for the sequels were dragged out. And they expand a lot of these games out in terms of exploration, combat, etc.

[shrewd maple]

i would just get mouse wnd keyvoard and play pc even if just over cloud gaming on tv. have you tried it these days? atleast in my country its like having a high end pc in your room.

[fluid creek]

it's a thing like chocolate milk

so sweet coffee syrup

[merry palm]

Might be ok on ice cream

[south beacon]

yet you see a lot of people making requests for sequels, but I see a more common approach with them making new IPs for a couple teams

[merry palm]

But as a drink . Feels inferior

[queen lotus]

Go for a hall effect controller. 8bitdo and razer makes some for Xbox.

[south beacon]

Guerrilla is a good example. I see more people asking for them to do either a new IP or Killzone

[shrewd maple]

sounds bad for teeth, so no.

[merry palm]

Let people like things dude 😂

[lapis lichen]

Availablity isnt very good here ill prob just go with the normal xbox ones maybe ill get a colorful one if im feeling fancy

[fluid creek]

go touch grass dude. let people like things.

[lapis lichen]

Dawg im broke

[shrewd maple]

as long as it’s not bad for teeth then it good

[south beacon]

Santa Monica I see a balance with asking for more God of War, and invest in a new IP.

[neon saddle]

is using Xbox ally x as a main console ok?

[subtle stump]

Haven’t tried their cloud gaming feature. Haven’t really seen anything that sold me on the idea

[south beacon]

I actually like coffee, but it depends on how the coffee is produced. sometimes it goes down well, or tastes bad

[merry palm]

With 0 respect. You get no say in what other people like. Tend to yourself and leave me alone.

[south beacon]

wouldn't that be a mocha?

[shrewd maple]

i don’t want to advertise. but the one i use lets me play total war warhammer 3 maxed out butterfly smoothe for just 7.50 euro a month. no play time limit or session limit.

Yo should i put freesync on Xbox off basic or extended in also wha should i put my responses time normal fast fastest

[south beacon]

then again, what Penguin said reminds me of coffee flavored ice cream

[queen lotus]

8bitdo cost less than a standard controller. Probably because it’s wired, but there got to be a trade off at that price.

[shrewd maple]

it’s a recommendation i rly don’t care if you ruin your teeth and pay a fortune for third pair in age.

[south beacon]

now I want a mocha frappe

[fallow moat]

So I think those that preordered Helldivers on Xbox (like me) will be able to play tonight right?

[lapis lichen]

Ill see if i can find one

[green laurel]

9am uk time

[fallow moat]

1 am my time then? holy…

that’s rough…

[green laurel]

is it.....hell

[queen lotus]

It’s a handheld pc. So it won’t get all the console games, it can play the Xbox games that are on pc.

[south beacon]

Had to deal with this guy earlier asking if I preordered Helldivers 2 on Xbox. I told him no, and he demanded that I go and buy the game.

[fallow moat]

no worries though

can just play night of release

[south beacon]

Dont tell me how to buy my games

[green laurel]

buy for democracy

[neon saddle]

Can it replace a gaming PC? I mean it's almost as powerful as series x, If someone doesn't mind raw performance I guess so

[south beacon]

I already own the game

[desert sonnet]

You better buy that game while sitting on your couch upside down

[neon saddle]

But no hall effect joysticks on xbox alllies🥀

[south beacon]

literally, that is enough to say I actually dont need to buy it a second time for a platform I don't even own

[fallow moat]

35 gigs on console!

[south beacon]

but aparently, he was fixated on me doing it because he thought that if enough people bought it on Xbox, it would prompt more PS ports or something.

"and my purchase mattered the most"

[tribal plume]

hi people

[south beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-big-bang-theory-tbbt-sheldon-gif-5210741

I had a guy who would not get off my back on playing some stupid game

I bit the bullet, did it out of bordom, and now that game is stuck on my account for eternity

and I'm obligated to actually finish it, and I didn't do any more than 30 minutes with the game

[merry palm]

why would you be obligted to finish it?

[south beacon]

thankfully, that game is erased from my memory

so I won't think about it unless I see the name, then it triggers me into compulsively playing it

There's probably 6 games that I own that make me do that

[south beacon]

call it my gaming OCD. I have a need to platinum a game when I can, and finish the entire thing

there are games like Returnal that just eat away at me until I actually beat the damn game

[tawdry cypress]

Hello

[desert sonnet]

Whattup

[wicked stag]

Need another game like spec ops the line

As much as that game is the YouTube essay starter pack

There was gonna be more content for the game

Multiplayer modes, and etc. still an amazing game.

[echo coyote]

My Xbox series s overheating too much

[wicked stag]

Fortnite and spec ops the line are way different

[somber scroll]

What is actively going on with Xbox?

[dark yoke]

Getting ready to release Gears Reloaded tomorrow

[somber scroll]

Is anyone else having trouble with the contact us page on Microsoft?

@fiery python DM’s please

Me and my friend got charged for something we don’t even know what happened through Microsoft and we can’t even get a refund so we had to call our card or PayPal depending on what we were using

[fiery python]

No

[somber scroll]

I have a picture of Microsoft that I sent you not even working on the contact us page

It says something about being blocked

[fiery python]

That's unfortunate, but it's not something to DM me about.

[somber scroll]

Ok

[fiery python]

No one here can help you with that.

[somber scroll]

Damn

Is there any number that I can call Microsoft on like a corporate number to let them know their site is currently down for most of us no one’s able to log onto it on certain areas

[fiery python]

https://support.xbox.com/contact-us/

[somber scroll]

None of my friends anyways

[fiery python]

That's where you find your contact options.

[somber scroll]

That’s the site I went to it actively doesn’t load hold on. I’ll check though.

[fiery python]

Then just try again another time.

[somber scroll]

Ok

[fluid creek]

try a different browser, internet, etc

[somber scroll]

So it finally started working on my phone so I’m gonna get a hold of him and let them know about it. Thanks guys.

Got in contact with a guy from a technician’s department. He’s actively making the report to the head person big problem with Microsoft servers.

[lunar panther]

Let's keep your support conversation to support 👍 We don't need the updates here as if there is communication needed, Xbox will issue it 🙂

[ancient birch]

XBOX

[fiery python]

@ancient birch At this point we're well aware it's Xbox. How about you stop now?

[severe lodge]

[dry bobcat]

[trail harness]

Local gas station is giving away a free 34 oz Arizona iced tea tomorrow. Going to be there early to grab that before the stock runs out lol.

the way they track who has already got one is basically by a profile tied to a phone number. You put your phone number into the customer facing part of the point of sales terminal and then any coupons applicable to the transaction simply get applied. Kinda cool system ngl

that also means you can access your app coupons even if you lose connection while in one of the stores, which used to be a problem before they switched it over to phone number based

[dry bobcat]

Cheeky

[hushed mason]

[light orbit]

Message for UK gamers, is Gears of War Reloaded playable from midnight/1am tonight or tomorrow ?

[fiery python]

4pm UK time

[light orbit]

Damn, why so late in the day ?

[fiery python]

Global unlock based on US time probably

[light orbit]

Fair enough, was hoping to play with my American friends tonight, oh well, thanks for answering

[desert sonnet]

Yea for me it is available at 4am est

I'll be getting ready for work around that time

[kind tangle]

[desert sonnet]

Oh wait. I was talking about Helldivers

[kind tangle]

I might mosey over to the book store and read later

[fiery python]

19 hours for Gears

[kind tangle]

Im reading a good book about hong kong action movies called Hong Kong Babylon

[fiery python]

12 hours for Helldivers.

[kind tangle]

I messed around in saints row 2 lately

I need to actually beat it instead of rampage

[brave wasp]

Helldivers 2 tomorrow

[fiery python]

I'm surprised the achievement list isn't up for Helldivers already.

[brave wasp]

Surprisingly small file size

[fiery python]

#1409630362539397140 for folks who want to chat Gears. @dark yoke 😉

[cerulean basin]

I still haven't decided which one I'll play first 😅

[high quest]

I still can't decide

[cyan quiver]

Flip a coin

[high quest]

what to get😔

[fiery python]

Well, Helldivers launches first, so that one.

[brave wasp]

I'm putting an unhealthy amount of time into Helldivers, don't really have an interest in Gears cuz I don't see the point in remastering a remaster 😅

[fiery python]

I'll play Gears at some point maybe. No interest in the multiplayer though

[cerulean basin]

I've also not got a lot of time lately, it's been busy busy

[high quest]

should I get steam 1 or xbox ally?

[fiery python]

I'm also too focused on the Death Stranding 2 campaign, so no plans to start the Gears one.

[fiery python]

Are you more invested in Steam or PC Game Pass/Xbox?

[high quest]

steam

[cerulean basin]

It also depends heavily on what games you plan to play.
The Steam Deck will be a cheaper option that works great for indie games without using a lot of battery.
The Xbox Ally X (in particular the X) is more expensive, but also runs more demanding games better

[high quest]

is steam deck 1 worth it to get in 2026?

[dark yoke]

Aha, thanks for the heads up 😄👍

[cerulean basin]

Same answer I already gave

[desert sonnet]

Play Helldivers first. We gotta help Icky out

[ancient birch]

you finally get it?

[split prism]

It’s not me complaining dude

[hearty plinth]

Nope lol

[south beacon]

just about done with HFW's main story mode

going to run around, deal with the trophies I'm missing for the main game's platinum

[tired hare]
