general-chat

[green laurel]

Like if its so bad price buy games then that doesnt change

[torpid trout]

Tbh I still think ultimate's worth it because I have enough games on it for the price to not be too ridiculous, but that's just me

[hearty plinth]

try contacting official support as any billing issues can only be handled by them this does not mean #1091756150644555946

[green laurel]

Every service has gone up so they are only as good if you use it

[torpid trout]

Obviously I'd prefer 20 a month over 30 a month but 30 a month isn't, like, completely insane like so many said it apparently was

[green laurel]

You can also find deals

[hearty plinth]

hulu goes up, netflix does to and ....

[green laurel]

Netflix getting WB now gonna make it skyrocket lol

[torpid trout]

People seemed to forget WHY they're increased immediately too, but that's probably a bit political

[stark oracle]

I remember when Netflix was 6.99 a month, pls take me back to that

[torpid trout]

Sorry for swearing

Forgot about bypassing

[hearty plinth]

everything goes up but our salary lol

[green laurel]

End of the day no company is doing a service to be kind. Just to get as much money who is willing to pay

[stark oracle]

This is why I bought my GPU on black friday bc GPU prices in 2026 are about to go absolutely bananas

[barren nymph]

Thank you for the responses. I made the mistake of focusing on what people were saying instead of enjoying the games.

[queen lotus]

Ultimate cost was a crazy good deal before. It's like ordering a combo meal, and they're like here's an extra free fries. Now it's a fair cost. Not everyone can buy a full year. But that's like getting steak dinner every week.

[stark oracle]

Some PC players do the same thing, they're too busy fighting over who's hardware is better than just playing the games

[torpid trout]

I made the same mistake a bit ago lol

I've got a habit of paying too much attention to other people's opinions sometimes so I was like physically feeling nervous over what people were saying about Xbox lol

Mostly because I didn't want my library to dissappear suddenly since they were LITERALLY dying and shutting down apparently

[tired hare]

Game on. Been awhile since i played these games. Well starting from scratch... again..

[minor coral]

What game

[stark oracle]

And contrary to what a lot of youtube videos may have you believe, you don't need the nicest looking computer with the most powerful parts to play most games

[tired hare]

I have mhwi master edition most dlcs an bought more. Elden ring bundle with dlc expansion. Elden ring neight? Genshin impact and phasmophobia for twitch streaming make ppl laugh at nites. For giggles.

So 3 long years away from xbox. Been on switch oled for that long. Finally sold a mtg card was worth 1,500. So yea hurt my heart let it go.

Never could get into war games. Just not my gaming style.

Mostly into solo rpg. Might buy diablo 4 again, but idk waiting see if diablo 5 ever be announced. Diablo 4 got old to me. Love certain animated cosmetics nice touch.

[pearl gazelle]

I plan to save up starting in January about $40-$60 a month to buy the new Xbox when it eventually comes out I am very much excited for the new Xbox.

This is a big part of the reason I am stopping (for a bit) gamepass because I have very little money and I really want to be able to purchase the new Xbox and if I put the gamepass money in savings I should be able to afford it

[minor coral]

What resolution and fps does your pc play for triple A games?

[tired hare]

I got what i want xbox series x digital its color is white like xbox series S. No hard drive.

[pearl gazelle]

I like the white color too I have black but white looks awesome

[minor coral]

White always looks great just like the ps5 and series s

[tired hare]

I got out of physicals copies when sony announce no more games gonna be made for ps2. That was it i moved to xbox ever since ps2 only sony system ill give it respects variety of games it made is astounding.

[minor coral]

I like the feeling of collecting disc games i will never let go of that tradition

[hearty plinth]

that depends on the game

[hearty plinth]

im all digital since 2019

[minor coral]

I do both

[tired hare]

Every ps system from ps3 on up gone downhill all about war games an competitive pvp games eh. No thanks xbox all the way.

[pearl gazelle]

I only have 1 physical game and that’s ac shadows I got it as a present when it came out so plan to keep it physical

[minor coral]

But ps has better games na?

[main spear]

Are we allowed to find people to play with here or does it have to be in the other chat

[hearty plinth]

in #lfg or #1094715375884697600

[abstract mist]

Prefeably the lfg chats

[tired hare]

Prices are nice. But games no. Sony competitive games how they make their money mostly. Its how i lost real friends to sony those games changed them like good friends stick with each other doesnt use em for bait or anything toxic. No longer friends. Thats a very good reason why ill never go buy sony systems. Changing ppl friends use to have end up with nothing but talk down too. Trash talked too by ex friend bc i bought xbox instead. Games can change ppl it did to my friends. Well past is past.

[hearty plinth]

personally it all depends on personal preference. i love a lot of the ps exclsuive titles.

dont mean other people do

[minor coral]

Toxic behaviour

[cerulean basin]

I definitely like Spider-Man (though I never played more than 1 and half of Miles Morales), but not as hyped about their other current exclusives. I never played much of God of War on PS4 for example.

[hearty plinth]

i cant say no to christopher judge yelling BOY!!! in god of war 2018

[cerulean basin]

Not that I don't wanna play them 😛 I even own many of them, I just haven't prioritized them in my backlog

[tired hare]

They got into pvp before coming over last time saw me playing xbox. An they laughed at me called me names an talk down too me. Bullying as if it was high school again.

[dark yoke]

PS Exclusives best games ever made ever.

[cerulean basin]

That it highly debatable

[hearty plinth]

true

[dark yoke]

imo*

[minor coral]

Ps fanboys why cant they just appreciate all 4 major platforms like xbox, ps, steam and nintendo

[fallow moat]

DUSK is a nice game but dang that fork maiden is tough.

[cerulean basin]

Important to note that when making such statements 😛

[fluid creek]

weren't you just complaining people were talking abotu other platforms here like 10 mins ago lol

[cerulean basin]

For me, Nintendo still has some of the best exclusives, I always know I'm going to have a blast playing through Nintendo's key franchises, be that Mario, Zelda, Kirby...

[minor coral]

That is different

[hearty plinth]

it probably be a pipe's dream but i wish some of their older ips are ported to pc

[tired hare]

I enjoy xbox and nintendo but nintendo starting to budget cut an increase prices. So eh nitendo startingbto drop in my opinion. Back to xbox. Couldnt afford xbox for 3 years. I could bc my mtg card. But guess waited too long. Eh. It is what it is i guess.

[dark yoke]

My favourite Xbox Games; Gears of War, Halo, PGR
My Favourite PS Games; God of War, Uncharted, Last of Us, Killzone
My Favourite Nintendo Games; Pokémon

Multiplat; Dante’s Inferno, GTA

[dark yoke]

Kill zone 2 on pc please 😭😭😭

[minor coral]

Mario?

[idle spear]

Well now you can get a PS5 or a PC and play both going forward so there is always that now. My Series x is just for legacy stuff now

[dark yoke]

Wouldn’t say favourite but Mario and Mario Kart for sure

[lunar panther]

I must share my pain that I beat Metroid Prime 4 with around a 70% completion rate, misunderstood the end game save messaging, and discovered I can now not go back in to 100% the game unless I fully restart it.

[hearty plinth]

ssome og reistance of man, infamous and og uncharted trilogy please

[cerulean basin]

Honestly, I find Nintendo is actually spending much more on game development now compared to a few years back when they were having trouble adapting to "HD game development workflows"

[tired hare]

Heard steam is working with xbox ceo phil spencer. Hoping to make xbox can play steam deck games one day. Play all what sony has on one xbox console. Wonder what they would name.

[cerulean basin]

You've fallen into the traps of "Save your Game Complete save?" inconsistencies of gaming

[lunar panther]

Yup

[cerulean basin]

Steam Deck games are literally... PC games. There's no games exclusive for the Steam Deck.

[idle spear]

Worth picking up a cheap PS3 tbh for those. Not sure if they will ever remaster them at this point

[south beacon]

yup. that happened with me with Uncharted

Not every game will tell you how the point of no return will function

[dark yoke]

I can only dream !!!

[south beacon]

it can vary on the game

[tired hare]

Budget cut backs all future pkmn games forgot to mention that. All future pkmn games will never have open world exploration. Maybe gen 10 have partial open world. But dlc expansion. Idk how they will work that out.

[south beacon]

I'm at least glad FF7's point of no return allows you to carry over all your equipment, and do chapter select

[cerulean basin]

Unfortunately I fear we've created a similar problem with New Game+ in Avatar :/ We should have warned people better that they should start that as a separate save.

[south beacon]

Though I wish I could do specific parts of a chapter select for stuff like Chapter 17

[tired hare]

Nope as steam plans on to have games same games as sony to xbox is what they plan on sharing to new developement of xbox.

[cerulean basin]

We don't know what will happen to future Pokemon games. Even anything we may have heard may be out of date compared to their current plans. Besides, that is Game Freak, not Nintendo, developing those games.

[tired hare]

Teraleaks.

[cerulean basin]

Steam doesn't plan to have the same games as Sony.
Sony has decided to release some of their games on Steam. Steam in this case just... nods and happily accepts them.

[tired hare]

Oh yea ff 7 rebirth on xbox schweet. Cant wait!!!

[cerulean basin]

Again: "Even anything we may have heard may be out of date compared to their current plans."

If people knew how many things have changed in most game projects even less than a year before release... 😛

[lunar panther]

btw, I did enjoy the game, and even enjoyed the open world driving around. A few pain points I had with the game were that it did feel a bit too linear for a Metroid game, the weapon upgrade process (and even the names of the upgrades) did not feel as creative or fun as previous games, and there was far too much talking in the game by NPCs for ||Samus to still not say a single word||, and then finally.. || where the heck were actual Metroids???? || (incredibly minor spoilers, which have essentially nothing to do with the plot)

On the flip side, the gameplay was actually a lot of fun, boss fights were fun, ran super smooth, and just incredibly visually pleasing with a lot of detail. The different boss mechanics were quite neat. There was nothing that made me rage, but nothing I felt was too easy.

[tired hare]

No no. They do have same games as sony an pc games. They are willing to share these pc an sony games that are exclusivebto sony bc they wont share well steam deck gonna screw them by in future sharing with xbox. Bc xbox needs develope a system can handle it all.

[hearty plinth]

i thought its ff7 remake

[hearty plinth]

doubt that will happen any time soon if ever

[cerulean basin]

Again, that is not how Steam operates. Steam is a store. Developers decide to publish and sell their games on that store.

[tired hare]

No it wont. Takes long time for this to happen.

[cerulean basin]

The same way Sony is also releasing many of their games on the Epic Store, not just on Steam

[tired hare]

Steam its own thing. Microsoft dont own steam so microsoft an steam always butted head lol.

[hearty plinth]

u do realize that console games are optimized on consoles arent configured the same way on pc right?

[cerulean basin]

I never implied that Steam is owned by Microsoft.
They own competing storefronts on PC, yes.

[hearty plinth]

all handhelds cant play console games natively

[cerulean basin]

It's not like Steam is sitting in a secret dungeon cackling because they are making secret deals with both Sony and Microsoft.
It's a store: everybody knows that both Sony and Microsoft are selling their games on Steam.

[tired hare]

Yep. Well i just added that funny bit. Its laughable as microsoft rages over steam. I remember that day i read that online. Well anyways

Yall have fun. Ill be going to mhwi.

Why i didnt buy mh wilds. I rather have baby hbg heavy bowgun. Crit damage doing op damage freedom to place decor jewel any gear slot. Mh wilds murdered hbg an lbg. No more placing decor jewels where you want. Like att or crit jewel only on weapon limiting everything. Ok capcom killjoy. So mhwi it is. Later. 🤟

[south beacon]

[hearty plinth]

[south beacon]

And I need to stagger 300%

I know the method for those, mostly

So rn I'm just finished Ch 1 and 2 on Hard Mode

[tired hare]

Getting all mhw an iceborne achiebement ugh. Yay... not. Ok i got this.

[south beacon]

then I'm going to run around and get other things done before I continue with Hard Mode

I also need to learn one more enemy skill

[shrewd ocean]

Opinion about SSD/RAM price rising

[cerulean basin]

Sucks, what else is there to think

[abstract mist]

It sucks

[open flume]

lol

what a wild question

[hearty plinth]

sucks but hopefully and eventually it normalizes sometime down the line

[open flume]

"hi do you think it is good or bad to pay more for no reason"

[fluid creek]

just to be contrarian i love it

cuz i'm not buying it

/s

[open flume]

LOL

dont be like at least a dozen of the regulars here sam!

they do that job well enough already

[hearty plinth]

who would pay for RAM that may cost more than some gpus lol

[minor coral]

Is it that bad?

[shrewd ocean]

AI destroys everything

Now i saw that laptops and phones will have less ram

[tired hare]

Facts!!

[minor coral]

Facts

[cerulean basin]

Sam bringing chaos once again, what a Samtastrophe.

[shrewd ocean]

They realise that companies will go bankrupt because nobody will buy an 1TB SSD for 500$ and 32gb ram for the same price

I think HDD will become more relevant

[open flume]

ah yes

PC games requiring 1000mb/s write speeds gonna love HDD spin rates

im gonna run pong in 12k

[cerulean basin]

Sure, we're suddenly gonna make modern AAA games run on HDDs, have fun

[hearty plinth]

companies have been buying a lot more of those cause of the SSD issue

[open flume]

hey anchel you know all that optimization for flash memory your team is doing?

scrap it!

[hearty plinth]

see textures take 2 minutes to load in lol

[shrewd ocean]

Opinion about IT? Will?

[cerulean basin]

Fun fact: for Avatar we clearly warn players running the game on an HDD at launch that the game REQUIRES an SSD.

There's still reviewers who decided it'd be fine, then started to complain online that they were falling through the floor early on in the game (... because they were running faster than the game could load the terrain geometry)

[queen lotus]

2 years ago I got my friend an SSD because I was tried of waiting for him to load in.

[open flume]

iirc Arena breakout also requires it. or some other extraction shooter. i member seeing it somewhere

[cerulean basin]

Also probably our fault for sending console game review sites a PC code instead (we didn't have the PS5 version with the patches we wanted a couple weeks before for reviewers, so PC had to be)

[shrewd ocean]

AI have more disadvantages then advantages

[open flume]

say another random thing, go

[cerulean basin]

Are we on this once again?

[shrewd ocean]

As advantages only that you can search some things faster, can make you exercises for grammer, help you understand etc

[shrewd ocean]

About?

[cerulean basin]

You might want to do those exercises for grammar

[shrewd ocean]

Is not my native language

[cerulean basin]

I know, and my point is not to make fun of people making spelling or grammar mistakes. I make plenty myself

[shrewd ocean]

Auto correct

[cerulean basin]

That's like... less than 1% of the things people can make good use of AI for

[shrewd ocean]

Any better?

[cerulean basin]

If that was the only thing AI could do, companies wouldn't be investing so much into it

[open flume]

2 separate universities trained an AI LLM on over 800 brain scans of stroke patients, and then backtraced it to 2,000 others. The results were remarkable.. the LLM was "twice as accurate" at examining the scans of stroke patients

do go on.

[shrewd ocean]

For exemple AI generated videos can be used for manipulating people.

[fluid creek]

my gift to you

[open flume]

yes. and people using a hammer can do bad things with it.

[tired hare]

[cerulean basin]

AI is a tool.
I can edit a photo of someone with Photoshop to make it look like they are doing something they didn't. Does AI make it easier for people to make this type of edits?
Yes. It also makes it much easier for people to do a lot of good stuff with it.

[vast pelican]

We talking about ai?

[shrewd ocean]

But many workers will get replaced by AI in near future

[open flume]

yes but we dont want to

Yeah, it's been compatible with PC for a bit over a year now I think

[serene hazel]

Also psvr 1?

[bleak robin]

#general-chat message

[bleak robin]

PSVR2, and I would assume so

[bleak robin]

I must have missed that announcement lol

[cerulean basin]

Though they didn't make the best drivers at first at least, I remember the first few reviews of PSVR2 on PC were not stellar

[bleak robin]

Oh I can imagine

I hardly hear anything about it these days

Which is fair. I think VR is more of a PC user market rather than console

If anything I’d argue VR/XR/AR would better suit technical industries

But I don’t want to get left behind as a gamer, like we’re being left behind with PC parts

[bleak robin]

I meant if it gets picked up by industries and enterprises, I don’t want to see companies abandon gamers for the more profitable industries
(Like what’s seeming to be starting with computer hardware)

[serene hazel]

I see

I still need to play yakuza kiwami on steam

[south beacon]

I'm reviewing what I need for the platinum in FF7, so I am handling the first two chapters of Hard Mode just to see how the game progresses. Yeah it definitely is hard

But after I finish them, I might continue to progress in hard mode until my ||revival materia is finally upgraded||. I've played the game, so I know the specific lengths, bosses, and difficulty levels each chapter features. My best stopping point would be Chapter 5 or 6 within the next day.

[cerulean basin]

Enterprise businesses taking a cue from the gaming industry is nothing new.
We've seen it happen with Kinect, with 3D game engines, motion controls... and we've always been fine.

[south beacon]

17 is almost definitely the longest chapter in the game

[south beacon]

agreed. There was a time when a lot of publishers were pursuing VR. It varied from well known studios making a specialty project in VR, IPs getting a VR adaptation, or standard games getting VR versions/modes. That was one side of the coin, other being studios built to specifically make original VR games, like Moss. These days, I think only indie labels and Meta are the only VR developers and publishers releasing games

I played with buddies thinking it'd be fun - we all agreed it was hell

lives up to it's name

[finite iron]

$3,400??????
All of my statues combined don’t cost tha much…

[lunar panther]

I need you to read my mind for a sec

[finite iron]

Hell

[lunar panther]

No no - about the pics

[finite iron]

Do what you gotta do

I accept the consequences

[lunar panther]

Well mainly, I'm worried about that big statue

[finite iron]

Oh, Lilith?

[lunar panther]

because DAMN that display is sagging in the center from stress

lol

[finite iron]

Yeah she’s from Hell too

[lunar panther]

oh my days it's not one solid piece

[queen lotus]

Need to reinforce the ikea furniture

[finite iron]

Trust me, I know💀
My new secret lab desk is coming tomorrow, and I’m putting up wall shelves

[lunar panther]

ahahaha

[finite iron]

Because that tiny walmart table is STRUGGLING

[lunar panther]

I can't tell whats more stressed. The shelf itself, or me looking at it

[finite iron]

[short mantle]

Neither do mine and they're life-size. 😅

[finite iron]

Yeah that $3,400 is a ripoff

[serene hazel]

big xbox sale tomorrow

oh wait its already live

[short mantle]

Some of the pricing is being blamed on tariffs. That's a lot of money for something that's 3 feet. However, I would buy it if I had money like that.

[finite iron]

This was like $1,200 and it’s the same size as my Lilith statue

[serene hazel]

yeah most of my xbox storepage is just grey squares

[short mantle]

Crazy

[finite iron]

This one was like $800(also the same size as Lilith)
I could have all 3 of these big statues and still not pay $3,400

[short mantle]

I'm currently in the process of getting an R2-D2 life-size. The money is there, I'm just waiting for a restock. I don't have room in my bedroom anymore. I'm going to put him in the bathroom and he's going to be a towel holder.

[finite iron]

Blizzard just posted the new Mephisto statue in their gear store. 26” for $700

[vagrant mica]

Idk if it’s just twitter being twitter but my entire algorithm is now showing me E33 hate posts

[finite iron]

I regret not buying the Inarius statue when it came out. It’s so beautiful

[quaint drum]

Hello

[short mantle]

[desert sonnet]

Ohh man. Avatar movie coming out has a Doomsday teaser in the beginning

[minor coral]

What games has everyone bought from the xbox sales?

[vagrant mica]

People will upload them online anyway

[ripe grotto]

What was it about?

[desert sonnet]

I don't wanna spoil since the way I saw it wasn't exactly legit

[pastel path]

hey guys quick heads up that according to the Xbox Series X Microsoft store, it says that Xbox ally x is back in stock

[trail harness]

this peppermint mocha cold brew coffee is pretty good ngl

[trail harness]

I could buy a lot of fumos with that much lol

[pastel temple]

Is anyone having issues downloading game clips from Xbox app to your phone? Mine says saved and then it doesn’t show up in my camera roll

[hearty plinth]

wouldnt it be in ur downloads not ur camera roll?

[pastel temple]

You’re exactly right I just found them🤦‍♂️

It’s just that they used to save right to my camera roll so I was so lost😂

Thanks

[serene hazel]

A bunch of skin peeled off the roof of my mouth after eating really hot spaghetti sauce

[hearty plinth]

hope u feel better

[serene hazel]

It's fine, doesn't hurt or anything

[ripe grotto]

Could send me a link to the trailer or something

[serene hazel]

I hate regular spaghetti noodles so sometimes I will just eat the sauce.

[ripe grotto]

Hello Inspector

[serene hazel]

Hey

[ripe grotto]

How’s it going

[serene hazel]

I'm doing alright

Playing sonic generations and I finished shadow generations 100% today

All the rocket parts, boxes, music notes, s ranks.

[ripe grotto]

Sick!

Love both

I think Shadow Generations is a bit better in the final boss though

[serene hazel]

Sonic generations final boss is really weak.

Devil doom is more of a threat than the time eater.

Btw there is a massive sale on right now

[austere frost]

Bro my mic on discord isn’t working and I don’t know how to fix it someone please help me

[ripe grotto]

“I am shadow the hedgehog!” “This is the destiny I choose!” Goes so hard at the end

[serene hazel]

Canonwise the time eater would be overpowered but the fight is just fly forward and you are guaranteed to win. It's just really easy

Oh but there's some debris in the way so I guess that adds a bit of challenge. But really though it gives you so many rings and it's just really easy to avoid everything

[ripe grotto]

Also I really liked the metal overlord fight in shadow generations

[serene hazel]

Perfect chaos is a really good super sonic fight

You can actually die in it besides just losing rings

[ripe grotto]

Reminded me of the Perfect Chaos fight in Sonic Generations

Both musics goes hard

[serene hazel]

Can I say adventure 1 over adventure 2 for me?

[ripe grotto]

Open your heart and what im made of is so peak!

[ripe grotto]

I like how in sonic generations bro don’t need to go super for em

[serene hazel]

Don't get me wrong adventure 2 is good, it's just really overrated and people seem to only praise it for the sonic/shadow levels and shadow only has 4 levels in it

I barely see anyone talk good about the Mechs/treasure hunt levels

Whereas adventure 1 sonics stages are perfect, tails is really fun, gamma is good and has fun levels, knuckles emerald tracker actually works properly. Not a fan of amy/big stories but still

The spindash in adventure 1 also 👀

[tame path]

I just bought a xbox one x for $95 USD. Was it a good price I did a lot of research before buying but they never said about the price.

[vagrant mica]

it’s ok

[merry palm]

https://tenor.com/view/tv-movie-television-watch-popcorn-gif-17936584321012786311

[torpid trout]

VERY good price I'd assume

Usually more than 100 iirc

[ripe grotto]

Yall see how Nvidia is cutting production on the 50s series by 40%?

[vocal gorge]

yep, I saw some news about it earlier today

[ripe grotto]

Thoughts?

[vagrant mica]

I mean it’s obviously not a good thing

[ripe grotto]

Probably in the near future I think Nvidia is just gonna cut production of gaming GPU and AMD is gonna become the top gpu manufacturers

But that’s just me

[vocal gorge]

likely to further impact pricing on GPUs I would think, though I don't find that fair on the consumer. Just shows how much more they value data center and AI I guess

[fallow moat]

Could rain here on Christmas and later, so that might mean cozy time

cozy game time

[merry palm]

There has already been so much rain for me. You can have it all 😂

[vocal gorge]

also, AMD could cut production of gaming GPUs too as it doesn't earn them anywhere near as much as datacenter and AI do right now. That's what all the fuss is right now and the only way that will change is if or when that AI bubble bursts, though datacenter is still a really strong market too so focus could just be thrown back into that. Either way gamers are not the focus of either AMD or Nvidia these days

[ripe grotto]

Man gaming is going down the drain with this

Gonna be rough

[merry palm]

Is the sky falling?

[ripe grotto]

For gaming maybe

[merry palm]

That you took me at all seriously is upsetting

I put my floppiest chicken smh

[vocal gorge]

I laughed at that when I saw it 😄

[merry palm]

It's so wobbly, I love it

[ripe grotto]

Oh sorry

[serene hazel]

What is the best cheap Xbox controller that isn't power a?

I would prefer to be able to use batteries also

[merry palm]

The regular one that's less than 40 us dollars rn

[serene hazel]

Where?

[merry palm]

I saw it on Amazon earlier for like 38?

Xbox store on there. It's black and kinda boring, but yk.. fits what you want

[serene hazel]

I would prefer one with the grip bumps on the back

[vocal gorge]

still going to see new GPUs, consoles etc though so gaming is going nowhere, just the focus on companies like AMD, Intel and Nvidia has shifted away from gaming as it is no longer as lucrative as other markets are. Sorry if I made it sound all doom and gloom, lol

[serene hazel]

Do those ones have the bumps

[merry palm]

I told you the store... Go look?

I don't remember bc I thought it boring and not to my taste at all

Not at all cute!

[serene hazel]

Yeah Amazon has some good priced ones

[ripe grotto]

It’s alright

I’m just fear of getting a new pc in the future is gonna be a bit more difficult

[merry palm]

Not more difficult. But you might have to temper your budgetary restrictions 😂

There will always be stuff to buy.

[serene hazel]

Tell me about it

Especially new games to add to the never ending backlog

[merry palm]

It's a collection. Like uh... A museum

[serene hazel]

Imagine if the PS1 versions of namco museum came back and it has the walkable museums rather than just a menu

[merry palm]

Idk what that is but ok

I been a PC gamer too long 😂

[serene hazel]

The PS1 namco museums had the pacman, galaga, Mrs. Pacman, pole position, dig dug games across 5 different collections, well on the PS1 versions they had virtual museums you can walk around in. Every other museum besides maybe a few only have just menus

[merry palm]

Ooook?

I assume it's a game you can buy that shows a museum?

But i struggle english

[merry palm]

Gonna rain a ton tomorrow again

Anyone want to have some of it?

[serene hazel]

Yeah it was made for PlayStation 1, only the PS1 versions have the museum. The N64, Dreamcast, PS2 ect don't have the walkable museum

[tired hare]

Hope it gets cold I hate finals😭

[merry palm]

Then you would just have cold finals

Unless it got reeeeeeeeally cold and still had the precipitation

Snow would be nice

[tired hare]

Nah cuz if it's cold and it rains either snow or hail and if I get enough boom no finals tommorow

[serene hazel]

I can't believe Christmas is just a week away

It hasn't really felt like December this month tbh

[tired hare]

True bro I think like 7-6 days away I can't keep track at this point

[idle spear]

Last Christmas felt like a few months ago

[merry palm]

Its supposed to still be mid 50s here and rain 2.25 inches

And windy

Can't forget the wind

5.7 cm, for the non americans

[tired hare]

I don't remember what day it is I have to check my calendar if I want to know my head is crazy this week😭

[serene hazel]

Today is the 17th

[merry palm]

I don't really think winter until it's actually yk. Winter 😅

January

[idle spear]

It’s the 18th here in the future lol

[serene hazel]

Just a few more hours until midnight

[merry palm]

Winter doesn't start until fairly late in December 👀

[merry palm]

Is it warmer or colder?

Need to plan outfits

[serene hazel]

I walked like 4 miles last weekend and I've been sleeping a lot more often since then

[idle spear]

About 10c here all week so not so bad compared to the last few

[merry palm]

Been the same here

[stable atlas]

I just found a really good deal for a brand new Xbox series s on eBay if anyone’s interested in the link

[hearty bluff]

Finally I made it out of Flood rocket launcher chaos! My next level in Halo CE is Keyes as in Captain Jacob Keyes.

[merry palm]

Pretty decent temps if you ignore the water lol

[serene hazel]

Might get final fantasy 7 and black ops 2 with this sale

[merry palm]

I have forgotten what it's like to have dry shoes

[tired hare]

W game fr

[stable atlas]

Why was my text deleted

[merry palm]

Oh. Back up.. sorry.. I'll repost it 😂

[tired hare]

Idk i think promo?

[merry palm]

I thought you were selling

Yeah they are talking about enay

[serene hazel]

which one?

[merry palm]

A brand new Xbox series s is available for bidding on eBay. Bidding price starts at $88.45 so far no one’s placed a bid yet the buyout is $325.00

[tired hare]

Both I put games but stupid auto correct

[merry palm]

I would want to know why no bids tbh

[serene hazel]

oh

[merry palm]

Is it a paperweight? Aka banned?

[tired hare]

Btw desert are you going to put a bid because that's a pretty good sale if nobody else finds out

[stable atlas]

If anyone wants the link send me a message in the DMs

[merry palm]

I would not buy one I could not touch myself

And plug in.

[hearty plinth]

fr

[stable atlas]

What do you mean

[merry palm]

And make sure it connects to Xbox 😂

[stable atlas]

No one’s even bidded yet

[stable atlas]

Bruh it’s brand new sealed in the box

[merry palm]

Then why no bids yet? Feels sketchy

eBay has a good return policy at least

[fallow moat]

Send

[stable atlas]

Because the bid started recently

Or event whatever u call it

[merry palm]

Do you want the wind too?

[fallow moat]

Noooo not the wind!!!!

[hearty plinth]

need the rain to melt the snow away here as well

[merry palm]

It's a lot. You two can split it 😂

[fallow moat]

I know I live in a desert but I WOULD like to see snow again here.

Mild December… ugh

[hearty plinth]

i wouldnt know the first thing in surviving in a desert. im a city person

[fallow moat]

Last snow was like January 25-26th, 2021 here.

[tired hare]

Y'all the teacher crashed out cuz she asked me what I was doing and I said ur mom was her crash out reasonable?

[merry palm]

no

also, keep your drama from outside here.. outside h ere

[serene hazel]

neversoft? neversoft with the tony and the hawk!

[merry palm]

lots of deserts get snow!

just move to a snowy one

i used to live in a desert, and some days i miss it

like this whole month 😂

[serene hazel]

i know exactly what game i want on 360 and its arkham origins

[proud cloak]

4 terabyte

[merry palm]

time to watch my cozy youtubers

[hearty plinth]

I need to play Lost records soon.

[south beacon]

just opened my new phone

I bought it and got it a week ago. I decided to set it up today bc my old phone decided to stop working on me. convenient timing, huh?

[hallow garden]

How can I make my clip in Xbox record more than 10 minutes?

[south beacon]

I probably shouldn't encourage it, but good job for doing what I didn't say in HS.

[south beacon]

stream it to Twitch

[hallow garden]

how can I

[south beacon]

I forget that can be a thing. Of course, even snowy areas can be a lot like deserts. More of a complete opposite where you suffer from the cold, not the heat

[south beacon]

link it

the option to "broadcast"

[hallow garden]

and like upload it to yt?

[south beacon]

yes

[merry palm]

i mean exactly what i typed. not that they are like a desert.
that they are actually considered desert and have snow

[south beacon]

Though I wonder if eventually they will expand clipping features in a similar way to PlayStation

[merry palm]

the snow just doesnt melt

[south beacon]

is the snow deep

if it is, then that's another thing to worry about

[merry palm]

drifts are a thing yes

[hallow garden]

Im at the Video studio

[south beacon]

your other option for now is to use a capture card and a PC then

I feel like Xbox in terms of systems features are more expanded with social features, but not media sharing like PlayStation.

[south beacon]

now I wonder what's worse to be in

[merry palm]

i lived in a desrt that regularly got a lot of snow.

you get used to it just fine

same as anywhere

[south beacon]

was it the Great Basin Desert

[merry palm]

mhm

[south beacon]

ok

Nice knowing stuff

[merry palm]

i've lived a few places

[south beacon]

most of the places I've lived in was along the eastern seaboard

so it's not as interesting, apart from how the climate can feel like throughout the year in Florida vs NJ

There are hardly any common oak trees in Florida, so that always bothered me.

[merry palm]

the few pics i have seen from florida look fake and need more mountains before its less unsettling to me

[stable atlas]

Yk I’m curious why so much exclusive merchandise was made for games back in the days, but nowadays, you dont really see a lot of exclusive merchandise for games

[merry palm]

uh.. yeah you do>

[south beacon]

there's a road I traveled a few times that runs to the north of Tampa going to Jacksonville, it has always disturbed me

[merry palm]

just gotta know where to look i guess

people are buying merch all the time and showing it off

[south beacon]

Fog happened a lot on that road, and there's barely anything out there

[stable atlas]

😒

[south beacon]

there is, though it's different these days

[short mantle]

You must not have visited a GameStop recently. They have more collectibles and toys than video games.

[south beacon]

can speak on that

[stable atlas]

Idk why but the Xbox discord server seems like a place for middle aged adults😭

[south beacon]

is that a problem?

[stable atlas]

Naw I just expected more younger people here

[merry palm]

more than one person saying there is still tons of merch 😂

[south beacon]

Because I will say a bulk of us are of different ages over the age of 17, at least the reoccuring people on here

[merry palm]

its a school night

[civic violet]

Hii

[stable atlas]

Maybe everyone acts so adult like cause of Xbox’s strict rules😂

[merry palm]

ansd a bunch of people are like.. gaming.

[south beacon]

I've seen the merch, and if you haven't been to a Hot Topic why wait?

[civic violet]

I like Xbox give me points

Man

[south beacon]

👈

There I pointed.

[merry palm]

https://tenor.com/view/put-a-star-sticker-pinky-malinky-lucas-grabeel-babs-byuteman-diamond-white-gif-18248821

[civic violet]

And

[stable atlas]

I been playing Xbox since the the Xbox 360

[civic violet]

Xbox give points for use the console

And after I changed for card Xbox store

[stable atlas]

A lot of people often consider the Xbox 360 era to be “The Golden Age of gaming”

[civic violet]

Yeah

[south beacon]

if you want money, then no

[civic violet]

Your pic profile is from rdr

[civic violet]

The best Xbox

[stable atlas]

Yh

[civic violet]

Xbox one was disaster

[south beacon]

that's up for debate.

[civic violet]

Xbox series is cool, underrated consoles

[stable atlas]

Literally the Xbox 360 Slim out performed the Xbox 360 elite lmaooo

[civic violet]

I have play 5 too jejej

I played for first time gta 5 in

Xbox 360

[south beacon]

I consider the SNES and Genesis days to be Golden era, and 7th gen to be a pivotal capstone

[stable atlas]

Naw man Xbox 360 games were fun bro multiplayer games were good, and the games were just so adventurous!

Xbox 360 was just good trust me

[merry palm]

it was good

every gen has been imo

i do think that you cant really bring that to now tho

like couch co-op isnt really a big thing anymore and i makes sense why.. but that was a big part of older games (as an example)

[stable atlas]

Well you used to, but now you literally can’t since Xbox shutdown the 360 market place.

[merry palm]

the vibe is what i meant

[stable atlas]

I mean sure you can buy the disc but you can’t buy the separate dlc anymore

[merry palm]

personally i dont see as much in 360 games that are the kinds i'd want to play. but i've been a pc gamer for ages so thats my space

[hardy basalt]

What are you talking about

[stable atlas]

Yeah cause back then, the Xbox 360 was revolutionary. Brand new astonishing multiplayer that bedazzled the players

[hardy basalt]

Cozy games?

[stable atlas]

The Xbox 360 marketplace shutdown so now, you can’t buy DLC content for games anymore

[merry palm]

we h ave a lot more options for cozy games now than back then

[hardy basalt]

There are lots of them on the 360: gears of war, call of duty, halo, lol

[merry palm]

none of those are cozy games smh

[stable atlas]

What do you mean cozy lmao?

[hardy basalt]

Stardew valley

[merry palm]

you are aware more games came out on pc this year than on the 360 its entire run, yes?

Pc has always had more options

[hardy basalt]

But the thing is: stardew valley is too complex to me. So a "cozy" game is personal lol

[merry palm]

wai... not cozy like its my name.

[stable atlas]

Idk why everyone likes PC so much

[idle spear]

Im not sure if I’m playing any cozy games atm. I think it’s mostly stuff on my switch

[stable atlas]

I prefer a TV and a console

[merry palm]

people can like different things. ik its wild

[stable atlas]

Thx for pointing out the obvious

[merry palm]

w^ you seemed confused, so glad to help

😂

[hardy basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-leaf-vibes-vibing-sleeping-cat-gif-17297041570420202318

[stable atlas]

So I heard news that ps5 just released an official ps5 monitor for gaming. Do you guys think Xbox will release an official monitor?

[merry palm]

i think it would be odd

[hardy basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/urban-rescue-ranch-uncle-ben-homelander-ostrich-curious-gif-6501042332662663141

[merry palm]

i think its odd with playstation too tho

[hardy basalt]

Did they?

[stable atlas]

Yeah lemme get the trailer

https://youtu.be/mRHgZ_l94F0?si=QqM6HYTVRvRG0AXd

[merry palm]

they are pretty expensive

[hardy basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/coma-ps5-nintendo-switch-oled-30years-gif-26544849

[merry palm]

i wouldnt buy them lol

can get ones that are much less

[stable atlas]

Xbox is really falling behind on offfial merchandise tbh all they do is make keep adding new designs to the elite series 2 controllers😂

I just wish Xbox made more merchandise like PlayStation

[merry palm]

if falling behind means they arent putting out 1k monitors, i'm ok with this

[fallow moat]

Watching Tron Legacy again

[hardy basalt]

4k 120 hz tvs are better for Xbox and PS

This monitor is 1440p 240 hz

[stable atlas]

Well Xbox should have an official monitor yk. PlayStation had the balls to do it😭

[merry palm]

https://tenor.com/view/swag-walk-tron-clu-gif-20467417

[hardy basalt]

The PS5 and Series X can only go up to 120 anyway

[merry palm]

i think its very imonitor vibes and i thought that was dumb too. but its your money lol

[hardy basalt]

And they miss out on 4K on monitors like these

[idle spear]

Its meant for PC gaming mainly, Sony is also selling other PC peripherals now

[merry palm]

yep

[hardy basalt]

Yes

[merry palm]

the move to include pc gaming is smart on their part.

[hardy basalt]

240 hz only on pc

[merry palm]

more places for people to buy their things the better

[stable atlas]

lol I already have a tv that supports 4k at 120hz plus HDR10+ and Dolby vision and a Xbox series x

[merry palm]

but i still think a 700-100 dollar monitor is too expensive

[hardy basalt]

Im curious how the next Xbox console is going to be

[stable atlas]

I been grinding tf out of Black Friday

[hardy basalt]

Just the regular Xbox OS (like Series X), just Windows (like Xbox Ally), or both in dual boot

I think dual boot would be great

If it is just an Xbox branded Windows PC, Im keeping my Series X and moving to PS6 next gen. I prefer consoles

[merry palm]

they already said there is going to be a console

many times

officially

[hardy basalt]

Yeah, but the Xbox Ally is a console too

[hearty bluff]

I am almost done with Halo Combat Evolved. One last level.

[hardy basalt]

And it uses only Windows

[merry palm]

no lol

[hardy basalt]

The console concept nowadays is vague

[merry palm]

they repeatedly said it was a pc handheld

[hardy basalt]

Great to know they differentiate that

[hardy basalt]

The Maw is really short

[merry palm]

it runs like a steam deck, which is also not a console.

[stable atlas]

The Xbox ally is big, but PlayStation already made a handheld console months ago😂. I’m just saying Xbox is really falling behind on merchandise

[hardy basalt]

The final level

[hardy basalt]

PS made a handheld console 20 years ago, not months ago lol

[short mantle]

I guess the Portal isn’t a handheld

[hardy basalt]

You hold it in your hands

[merry palm]

isnt the portal more like a cloud gaming thing?

[hardy basalt]

Yes

[merry palm]

for a phone?

[short mantle]

It’s still a handheld device.

[hardy basalt]

No, it is separate

[river zodiac]

Phil Spencer’s really screwed Xbox

[merry palm]

yeah a pc handheld typically allows for native gaming. not just cloud

[hardy basalt]

It was ps remote play only, and then Sony added PS Plus Streaming

[merry palm]

oh .. booo

you have to have a console and the portal ?

[river zodiac]

Sony releasing native handheld soon that can play ps4 and ps5 games

[merry palm]

nah lol

[hardy basalt]

You had to in the beggining

[stable atlas]

What suprises me is how PlayStation makes official merchandise look so good and how they make it so quickly as compared to the Overly carful Xbox😂

[merry palm]

i dont keep track of playstation lol

[hardy basalt]

And only the PS5, bc it didnt support the PS4 remote play feature

[short mantle]

It's a handheld lol. I have the black one.

[merry palm]

ty louie!

[hardy basalt]

PS4 only remotes play to PS Vita, PC and mobile
Not to PS Portal

[hardy basalt]

But now it has cloud gaming too

[merry palm]

i dislike that you cant do native gaming on it

[short mantle]

That part sucks

[merry palm]

its fine and all, but not my niche

[spiral shore]

love that movie here is my copy

[stable atlas]

Does anyone wish Xbox made merchandise like PlayStation did

[short mantle]

Not being able to use apps sucks too

[merry palm]

yeah i think i am going to just happily stick to my xbox ally plans

[short mantle]

I want the Ally X too.

[merry palm]

louie what are your thoughts about the ps monitors?

😂

[hardy basalt]

But not practical

[stable atlas]

Xbox ally is more expensive then the series x

[hardy basalt]

Bc it is priced as a pc

The series x is sold at a loss

[short mantle]

I'm aware lol

[hardy basalt]

The xbox ally and ally x are not

[short mantle]

Waste of money, imo. Mine doesn't have a fancy controller holder or PS logo, but it gets the job done.

[stable atlas]

Bruh the Xbox ally only supports 1080p at 120hz meanwhile my setup supports 4k at 120hz

[merry palm]

ty this was also my thought lol

i was like.. that is not as bad as apple but gives the same vibe 😂

[river zodiac]

PS monitor is great because choosing what monitor to buy is so hard

Now it easy

[merry palm]

and you will pay double for that

i can respect that if you got the money

[spiral shore]

found this today yum

[merry palm]

ooo i have seen them.

are they good?

[woven schooner]

holy crap i just plugged in my 360 cause i wanted to play spiderman, and after all these years im surprised everything still works 😭 😭

[spiral shore]

have not tried em yet lol will later

[merry palm]

i need a report 😂

[river zodiac]

Kisses are at the same level as Tootsie rolls and candy corn

[merry palm]

i have the candy cane ones

[vocal gorge]

PS monitors? I know Sony done a range of gaming monitors marked as inzone is this the same thing or something different again?

[merry palm]

awesome?!

[spiral shore]

Love them but they was sold out so i got the other lol

[merry palm]

the candy cane ones are peak

[merry palm]

https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/accessories/monitors

they are on sale rn!

low one is only 700!!!

😂

[short mantle]

Xbox added a new dynamic theme and it just might be their best one yet.

[river zodiac]

Extraordinary prices

[merry palm]

i wish pc app got dynamic backgrounds

[spiral shore]

I just saw this lol and started using it lol

I just use steam and wallpaper engine so good for wallpapers

[vocal gorge]

tbh one is OLED and that still costs a premium

[merry palm]

i cracked up that in there 'whats in the box' they listed a sticker.

[short mantle]

Same, my current one is from Alien.

[merry palm]

$1200 premium?

[spiral shore]

I have a few on shuffle every few hours

[vocal gorge]

yep, sounds about right for OLED, though it is coming down somewhat

[merry palm]

then they better give me 2 stickers for that

[vocal gorge]

there is lower refresh rate OLEDs that cost quite a bit less and older models will obviously be discounted too but the latest OLED technology I would still expect it to cost $999+

[river zodiac]

I was gifted a 8k MicroLED TV

[vocal gorge]

nice, that is a very expensive gift

[merry palm]

reminds me.. i need to poke penguin about sports later

[short mantle]

One of my favorites.

[stable atlas]

Do you guys think Xbox needs a new CEO?

[merry palm]

no

the board will decide that anyway lol

its not like the ceo is in charge

[vocal gorge]

MicroLED is out of the realms of affordable for the majority of people. Only instance of one being sold by any of the major brands I'm aware of is Samsung's 146 inch TV nicknamed "the wall" and it seems to cost £200K here in the UK which is just bonkers lol

[stable atlas]

Who is then

[twilit shard]

Hello

[merry palm]

the board of directors

typically under direction from the investors who own the company

the investors will all have meetings and vote on what they want and then the board tells the ceo.

ceo is more like.. top manager lol

[vocal gorge]

all those shorted titles CEO etc confuse the hell out of me lol

[spiral shore]

I always say phil is not making the choices for xbox someone higher is

[merry palm]

also the first person everyone blames

^^^

[thin nimbus]

How does developers let contact creator's play the game early?

[merry palm]

they set it up in a way that only people they authorize can play it.

and then create a contract people sign to be able to play

as long as people follow the rules.. only those people will play

[spiral shore]

ah good question with a good answer

[merry palm]

[stable atlas]

Actually the highest rank would be Chairman but board of directors is pretty high

[merry palm]

.. sounds like you already knew then and your intent was to what?

[rigid oxide]

@slender crow please check dms I’m trying to contact you for a month now since November 17th

[merry palm]

...

[hearty bluff]

Short and easy or short and painful?

[torpid trout]

I think the idea is it'll be a hybrid that lets you keep your whole library AND gives access to steam

Which sounds great to me

[hearty plinth]

doubt that would be true tbh

[torpid trout]

Why?

[fluid creek]

Hey so don’t do this.

If someone isn’t responding, don’t bring it here.

[rigid oxide]

Alright

[hearty plinth]

cause not every game on steam can be played on console. console version of games need to be specifically optimized to work on consoles. plus some games on steam will never be approved by xbox. plus any ps pc ports needs approval by sony. and older pc games dont have controller support

[meager yacht]

that would be pricy

[fallow moat]

Awesome!

[merry palm]

should i open the very un-cozy clover pit again?

this game sucks me in

[silk mountain]

In a good or bad way

[merry palm]

yes

[finite iron]

I had to take a break from it

It was making me angry, but I couldn’t stop playing it. It was a viscious cycle

[merry palm]

yes lol

it doesnt make me angry really but it does suck time away and that frustrates me later

[silk mountain]

If it's some sort of competitive thing I avoid those games

[merry palm]

not really competitive

its slots or die 😂

pretty fun but def addicting.

'one more run!'

[silk mountain]

Yeah seems like same thing with ARC raiders, I don't like hidden enemy games though

[merry palm]

you literally stand in one place the whole time.

no shooting at all

?

its more a strategy/luck game

[silk mountain]

Wow it looks kinda scary

[merry palm]

its not

gross room, but not scary at all

somewhat creepy ig?

not enough to throw me too off, and i primarily play cute things

[stable atlas]

I feel like there are a lot more men in this world then there are woman

[merry palm]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[silk mountain]

That's stasitically untrue

I still need to play balatro

There was so much hype around it

[merry palm]

i am afraid to start it. feels like another addictive game 😂

[civic violet]

Epic games would gift rdr 2

[silk mountain]

There's a phrase in yiddish, it translates to something like, "The bride is too beautiful". Can a game be too good?

[civic violet]

I play rdr 2 in Xbox

[native scaffold]

I'm getting some money for Xmas, I don't know what to choose between the shadow of the erdtree DLC from elden rings or clair Obscur expédition 33, which one should I buy?

[merry palm]

well.

both are good

expedition 33 keeps winning =awards and you already like the other game probably

[torpid trout]

Tbh I gravitate towards games with grungy aesthetics like Cloverpit a lot, but that's just me

[native scaffold]

I only like clair and the dlc

Do we need game pass sub to play clair Obscur?

[silk mountain]

Not that I know of

[merry palm]

pretty sure its single player?

thats generally a no

i havent played it more that the very beginning

[fluid creek]

You need game pass to play game pass games, yes.

United you bought it then no.

[merry palm]

i think they are buying it with holiday monies

[silk mountain]

Sounds like a game I'd buy since it's a good one

But that's just me

[ripe grotto]

Sup

why can't I activate auto redeem gift card ?

[desert sonnet]

Why did you redeem? Why did you redeem?!

Oh wait, you can't redeem

[vagrant mica]

my company is offering private medical insurance, unsure whether I should go for it

[frozen valley]

sounds like a blessing if you ask me

[young fog]

I dont think thats even really a thing in my country, you just get ''regular'' health insurance, its mandatory.

You have to sort it yourself. But sometimes companies can give a small discount because of partnerships etc, but its rarely really worth it

[rare mesa]

Xbox download stuck help\

[young fog]

Do you really think people can help with so little context to your issue? Always be clear and mention what youve tried already etc

[rare mesa]

So I'm downloading a game (Monster hunter wilds) its 80 GB but my xbox keeps freezing the download it would download then freeze for a really long time before unfreezing for a short bit and then freezing again. My internet is not the fastest (15mbps) but i never had a problem like this before it used to download 70gb games overnight. I suspect my isp is throttling my xbox? Also I restarted it stitched DNS and reset it with keep all my games. I don't know what to do anymore. Its been an entire day and it has only downloaded 24GB out of 80.

there

[winter zealot]

I think you have to avoid downloading games during peak hours, I have a 100mbps connection and my games download at 500kbps at times and nothing for the most time, I do get stable speeds at 2AM

[young fog]

I also have the freezing issue sometimes with 1GBit internet, not sure what causes it tbh

The Xbox download servers are really really bad compared to my PS5, in my case at least.

Never had an issue downloading stuff on PS5 and on my Series X it's almost never smooth full-speed the whole way

[winter zealot]

Same~

[rare mesa]

ive been downloading for 3 days was it peak hours for 3 days?

[winter zealot]

That sounds bad

Maybe you should change your ISP

[rare mesa]

i should

I got a vpn supported router to see if i can fix it by installing a vpn on it

[unreal isle]

@green laurel hey bro how you been?

[green laurel]

Hey. Bit unwell but ok otherwise

[sick goblet]

Better than Thursday I tell you that 🫡

[sick goblet]

Glad to hear get well soon best wishes 🙏🏻

[green laurel]

Ty. How are you doing

[sick goblet]

Yw well I'm doing good just watching some old WWE videos on YouTube and collecting stuff I've got a lot of switch 2 controllers and baseball catcher's mitts at least I've got two pro controllers two charging grips and another two sets of joycons and an ac charging adapter so in total it's six controllers

[frozen valley]

why so many

[sick goblet]

Spares just in case

Y'know

[green laurel]

So you can switch to another one hehe

[frozen valley]

Fair

When I got my switch I got another set of controllers tbf

[sick goblet]

Yeah just in case one stops working it's really unavoidable to drop the controller accidentally when playing @frozen valley @green laurel

And got both Zelda tears of the kingdom and Hyrule warriors age of imprisonment as two new games for it

[frozen valley]

also playing hand held makes my hand go numb at times

it really frustrates me

idk if I have an underlying condition lowkey

[sick goblet]

Yeah I hate that especially when your hands get sweaty as well

[frozen valley]

like even on mobile games that make u turn ur phone

I miss light phones

[sick goblet]

I had a small phone that I accidentally dropped when I was fishing on the jetties and got wet with seawater and had to get a new one and back then it was a ZTE they don't make those anymore so I got the Motorola

[idle spear]

I notice on ps5 I’m getting close to the full 1gbps download, on series x usually around 600 or so using the same connection, rarely near 1000.

[proven blaze]
