XBox One should have had a more powerful GPU, that was my issue with it

[ember whale]

I'm building a PC now. I got tired of Xbox survival indie games always cutting out the multiplayer or modding. I'll still keep my Xbox around though

Why is it skipping Xbox :/

[timber bronze]

Still have mine, though it's now just used as a UHD player in the other room

[timber bronze]

LRG are a bunch of crooks. Maybe it's only digital on Xbox

[serene hazel]

It's not even announced for Xbox though

[spiral shore]

I neve had a issue with them used them a few time s

for them to do a xbox version they have to order a lot of copies

[serene hazel]

I got gex from them and arzette but nothing else

[timber bronze]

Even if it is, I doubt we'll get a physical version

[spiral shore]

yeah xbox on there is rare thats for sure

[serene hazel]

I can still get it on steam

[timber bronze]

I'm still waiting for my Sonic/Shadow collection

[spiral shore]

took me a year to get one I ordered but I got was worth the wait

[vocal gorge]

nice, though RAM and GPU pricing right now is really bad. Hopefully you still manage to build a pretty good system

[spiral shore]

yeah I wont see a new pc for a long long time lol ugh

[serene hazel]

Hopefully this release means the Ren and stimpy comedy central reboot is finally coming out

It's been announced in 2020 and we havent seen a single episode yet

[hybrid minnow]

Hey guys, I have a problem with my Xbox Series X. When I want to use a second controller to play with friends, for example, in iTacks Two, it recognizes the second controller as the first, and no matter how I configure it, it always uses the second controller like the first one.

[vocal gorge]

my PC is probably good for a really long time too but my habits of upgrading when shiny new hardware releases remains 😄

[spiral shore]

there was a post on redit said it was canned

[timber bronze]

I have a new beefy PC , since I had to get a new PC after my PC for 10 years gave up on me. I just can't take to PC gaming at all

[spiral shore]

https://renandstimpy.fandom.com/wiki/Ren_%26_Stimpy_(reboot)

here is says canceled if true

[timber bronze]

Mind you, I have an Xbox Rog Ally X so I guess that counts for PC gaming LOL

[timber bronze]

It never be as good as the old cartoons in today's world for fear of upsetting someone or some group

[limber carbon]

Huh, AC Vahalla complete edition was removed from the store?

[spiral shore]

for now I wil stick with console gaming for now lol

[limber carbon]

I saw it during Christmas

[serene hazel]

i know that, but i would love new episodes that aren't the dumb apc episodes.

[timber bronze]

I'm the same, though I did get into PC gaming a little when I bought my 3DFX Voodoo 3 card with Half-Life collection (Forces, Blue Shift)

[spiral shore]

yeah I dont see it now odd

[timber bronze]

I loved the old cartoons, but a new one would just be cut too much these days imo

[vocal gorge]

I have my eyes on Intel to see what they announce later this year with their Nova Lake CPUs seeing as that got confirmed recently. Going to take quite an announcement to top AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D though (for gaming) and if Intel's announcement doesn't get me hyped that may well leave the path clear for AMD's Zen 6, which I'd be looking towards the successor to the 9800X3D

[spiral shore]

I see it now its still on the store

had to dig for it lol

[limber carbon]

Hmm, did they removed it from the DACH (German Speaking region) ?

I assume you're in the US?

[spiral shore]

yes U S so I am not sure then

I went to the game then Choose edition and it was there for me USA

I hate when they do this in other areas ugh

[limber carbon]

Weird, now I see it again. I had it on my wishlist and it stated it was not available in my region. Searching it in the store and I found it listed with the same price as before. Adding it back to my wishlist.

Maybe the licensing changed

[spiral shore]

could be

[lyric jetty]

Store can be weird at times

[serene hazel]

im actually kind of excited for the ren and stimpy collection

[spiral shore]

I think I will pick up it also

[serene hazel]

i really hate how this gif came from the spike episodes and not the nicktoons/mtv version

[cerulean basin]

It exists in Germany at least: https://www.xbox.com/de-DE/games/store/assassins-creed-valhalla-complete-edition/9np1b2v92qzx?msockid=1e4417be858c65c627920454843564fc

[serene hazel]

anchel im really excited

ren and stimpy games are back

[limber carbon]

It's a glitch in the wishlist I think. It appears in store, but you can't purchase it from the wishlist. Weird.

[serene hazel]

next they should fix up the original south park game

[limber carbon]

Ah neat, just noticed we can flag reviews on Xbox.

[trail harness]

Any UGC should be able to be reported

[limber carbon]

UGC?

[trail harness]

user generated content

[spiral shore]

man I wish FH3 would of got a 60 fps patch so sad lol 30 fps will do

[shy siren]

Nah

[serene hazel]

[fiery python]

I never said they were bad, I just don’t buy them.

[serene hazel]

hey rhinne

how are you today?

[fiery python]

Not bad, just some internet issues so a bunch of things not loading on different connections. Discord being one, working only on mobile right now.

[slim gull]

legendary scene. Macho man the goat

[serene hazel]

i see. what else has been not working properly or is it mainly just discord?

[serene hazel]

that was actually macho man?

i thought they sounded alike but i didn't think it was actually him

[spiral shore]

yeah it was him love that scene so funny lol

[slim gull]

yeah it is lol

When tf was that movie made again btw. Idk if he was in tna during that time or what

[spiral shore]

2002ish i think

yeah 2002

[serene hazel]

what is TNA?

not into wrestling tbh

[spiral shore]

he was in WCW after wwe then tna in 04

I dont do wrestling a lot any more but I do like the older stuff

[slim gull]

[spiral shore]

May play it on here or get it on 360

[serene hazel]

nice

[opaque slate]

i wish i had an xbox

[serene hazel]

[spiral shore]

GTA 3 is still sealed lol

[serene hazel]

i've been addicted to my og xbox alot recently

[spiral shore]

its a good system i do need to get one

[serene hazel]

dark i added you

[opaque slate]

i wanna get a xbox x yeah but its out of stock in the best market of my country there are other methods to get it without paying the full price directly so i gotta find a other store

[serene hazel]

oh?

[unreal isle]

🥱🏆

[opaque slate]

[brittle smelt]

is xbox live gold still a thing

[green laurel]

rebranded now to game pass essential

[slender spade]

goodmorning, goodafternoon and goodnight y'all!

[fiery python]

'ning

[slender spade]

I hoep everyone is doing well morning rhinne

last night I unlocked ezio auditore da Firenze in RAID SHADOW LEGENDS.

[green laurel]

oh boy

[fiery python]

I was able to finally finish the second DLC or Avatar last night, so I could start the latest expansion today and get back to where I was on my original account.

Really enjoying this new expansion and ||playing as So'lek|| makes an interesting change.

[slender spade]

congrats rhinne! I am looking forward to playing that, although I haven't been big on avatar I still need to rewatch the movies myself then play, I do love to see the additional love they put into it by listening to community feedback with the third person modes. good luck on your quest with the latest expansion

it's a very beautiful looking game.

[fiery python]

I'd seen the original movie but didn't love it. It's Pocahontas with Smurfs. I may have even passed on it if it weren't for Anchel here being heavily involved in it.

I finished it fully originally back in january last year (before the latest expansion released) and only watched the sequel movie two weekends ago.

So don't let your thoughts of the movies affect your judgment of the game. Also, it's SO MUCH better now with third-person mode.

[slender spade]

that's really good to know actually and yeah I'd also like to play for anchel not just for the movies alone, I've heard good things which is also as you said usually I'm more into their other franchises.

[fiery python]

I'll be honest and say I wasn't a fan originally, but that was primarily due to their 'find your own way' method of navigation. I got lost prettu early and frustrated with it.

But this seems to have been a common enough complaint that they made some changes and added more guidance in for quests which does make it much easier to get around.

[slender spade]

I'm sure I've heard that too I totally get why it would be like that originally because I know people sometimes complain about being handheld through a story rather than explore themselves which could be totally different in this instance but it's nice to hear they added that into the game now, is it some sort of toggle or implemented for good?

[serene hazel]

Hello again grasshopper

[slender spade]

Hiya and good day of time to you inspector!

[serene hazel]

It's 6:53 in the morning and I only got like 2 hours of sleep last night

[fiery python]

It’s entirely optional and adjustable.

[serene hazel]

Also rewatched spider-man

[slender spade]

oh heck, get some more if you can. not sure how much I got myself because I enjoyed my time here and couldn't stop myself from chatting 😭

[green laurel]

which spiderman

[serene hazel]

Tobey Maguire

[green laurel]

og wooo

[serene hazel]

I'd love to meet Tobey in person or at least get to talk to him but he doesn't really do conventions

And he really doesn't like paparazzi but I don't blame him

I find it funny that someone here thought I was only 16

They were off by 10 years lol

[silk spindle]

the first space marine game is still so fun. idk why i missed it

[slender spade]

sorry I had to go afk for a moment.

[slender spade]

that's great big respect to anchel and the Devs invovled in that. that's the best thing just letting the player have it be optional unfortunately it might take longer to add those systems but it's worth it

[serene hazel]

"how did you get here so quickly?" - eggman saying this to sonic

[slender spade]

SPEED.

[serene hazel]

There is a sonic game where the plot of it is robotnik steals sonics shoes and replaced them with shoes that slows him down.

[slender spade]

I would have loved to at some point too but yea I can't imagine anyone liking paparazzi constantly bugging you all the time.

[serene hazel]

Robotnik takes the chance at attacking sonic in his sleep, he doesn't try to capture him in his sleep. He just replaced his shoes.

The game is sonic labyrinth

He has a 300 IQ for a reason

Despite eggman having dumb moments like this, he is still my favorite character because he can be pretty cool with the robots/Mechs at times and he can also be comedic

[slender spade]

inspector I feel you would enjoy berserk the anime. it's well known to be dark and gory but the voice actor for robotnik is in it playing Adon Coborlwitz and it's so funny.

[serene hazel]

Which robotnik voice actor?

There's quite a few

[slender spade]

it's the 1997 anime just to be clear the rest suck.

Mike Pollock.

[serene hazel]

Also in urusei yatsura ataru and mendou are rivals, in fist of the north star ken who voices mendou is rivals with shin who is voiced by ataru

Also ataru is piccolo in the original Japanese sub of dragon ball and dbz

And I think mendou is garlic jr

[devout marsh]

Is there a way to hook up keyboard and mouse to console

[serene hazel]

USB ports

Also only some games use it

[slender spade]

yeah it should be simple as using USB ports and checking to see the supported games.

[shy siren]

Is arc raiders servers not working for anyone else or just me

[serene hazel]

I love urusei yatsura

Ataru moroboshi is funny

[slender spade]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/most-popular/games/xbox?gamecapabilities=consolekeyboardmouse

someone posted a server link I thought I got warned for a second.

[serene hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/urusei-yatsura-bonk-ataru-ataru-moroboshi-moroboshi-gif-14306293356880724456

[serene hazel]

Grasshopper I have a few figures of lum and my sister ordered me a figure of ataru last month

[slender spade]

nice! I'd love to see them, im not familiar with that anime though

[slender spade]

if it's the gif I definitely recognise it.

[serene hazel]

Urusei Yatsura is made by rumiko takahashi, it was the first manga she worked on in 1978 and the anime came out in 81, she also created ranma 1/2 and inuyasha

And urusei has a 2022 reboot anime

[serene hazel]

It is the gif

[slender spade]

ah okay, for me I've only watched a couple of animes it's been a while since I have at all. Im gonna have to check these out

[shy siren]

Arc raiders servers are down everyone

If anyone was planning on playing rn the servers are down

[serene hazel]

Also watch welcome to the nhk

I was tatsuhiro satou for awhile

[slender spade]

if you'd like you could list these in the DM and when I get the chance I will give them all a watch.

[slender spade]

thank you for letting everyone know, I don't play arc raiders personally.

[unkempt walrus]

What the hell is wrong with me today I beat hellblade multiple times comfortably with 0 deaths and I beat hellblade 2 for the first time with 0 deaths too and now I'm trying dark rot and I failed for the 3rd time it's crazy.

[meager dove]

Random question, but what is everyone’s thoughts of halo coming to PlayStation?

[fiery python]

Think it's great. The more the merrier.

[meager dove]

I agree

[fiery python]

No multiplayer which could have been fun to see Xbox vs PS in Halo, but still cool regardless.

Not that I play Halo personally.

[meager dove]

Yeah

[fiery python]

Unless there's cross-platform co-op, I dunno.

[green laurel]

there is

[fiery python]

Cool.

I don't normally care much about Halo. I didn't have it during the short time I had a 360, so never had that nostalgia hold over me.

I did try MCC once, but found the first game to be super tedious with the navigation.

But I'll likely give this new one a try with it being on Game Pass.

[unkempt walrus]

I like it as I will be probably buying a ps6 as a lifelong xbox lover since the 360.

Halo and forza probably made me buy an xbox but there's no reason left to miss out on god of war and spiderman

[fiery python]

It will be nice if we see more PS titles come to Xbox, but if not, no biggie. At least Xbox is getting a nice boost of income from the extra platforms, advertising on them, increasing interest in Game Pass and bringing more players into the lobbies.

[unkempt walrus]

They didn't increase interest in game pass with the insane prices

[fiery python]

And I have to say, FH5 on a PS5 Pro is stunning.

[idle spear]

That’s probably what I will do, makes sense if PS6 can play both if you can only have one of them and my series x isn’t going anywhere.

No need then to buy two consoles which do the same thing

[unkempt walrus]

Ps plus library is decent enough anyway

[slender spade]

I should try and see if they added the adaptive triggers to pc. usually i find it gimmicky but I have a ps5.

for Forza I mean.

[unkempt walrus]

I love xbox and I'm really enjoying the day 1 releases but I think it's much smarter to buy a console with more games

[slender spade]

I prefer it with racing games, with shooters it can be hit or miss.

[opaque slate]

GUYS

[idle spear]

I was tempted to buy it again on the pro. From what I read it’s the series x quality setting at 60 fps more or less.

[opaque slate]

TODAY IS THE DAY I GET DA XBOX SERIES X HOPEFULLY

[slender spade]

very true.

I mean everyone has their own preferences too.

[meager dove]

Even though some Xbox players say that halo is Xbox’s game due to it being that is has been a Xbox exclusive for over 20 years but I think it’s good that PlayStation players who want to play halo get to finally get to have the experience of playing it.

[slender spade]

UI, controller and whatnot it's just great to see the gap of console wars shortening and it's just a matter of personal preference.

[unkempt walrus]

My preferences is xbox tbh I love the games more and the controller and game pass and the UI and everything

But I feel like next gen I would be missing out

[slender spade]

the only drawback I ever see is lack of competition but I'm sure Devs are still motivated to bring the best experience to all players.

[slender spade]

CONGRATS!

[opaque slate]

TYYY

get rid of my ps5

[idle spear]

I’m not really bothered where I play as long as the experience is the best I will go where that is.

[unkempt walrus]

I've always enjoyed the xbox experience more tbh

[slender spade]

why not keep both?

[unkempt walrus]

If the next xbox can run ps games like rumored then why not

[idle spear]

At the moment I can play Xbox games best on PS5 Pro so that’s where I’ll get those for now.

[opaque slate]

i mean yeah i keep the ps5 ofc gonna give it to my sis but i alwqys wanted a xbox when i was younger it was my dream so now its gonna be true

[slender spade]

fair enough! enjoy your time with it

also that is sweet.

[unkempt walrus]

Series x is better I feel like so congrats

I've tried FC 25 and I think it lags on the Playstation

[opaque slate]

YESS

[slender spade]

I've never been one for console wars, i love both for different reasons but I do like to crap on Nintendo because they deserve it lol.

[unkempt walrus]

I would love a nintendo if I was rich

It's a rich people gimmick

600 dollars just to play mario and zelda

[slender spade]

I absolutely love handhelds so yea even for me I passed on it.

[unkempt walrus]

I love handhelds too but you just cannot have a Nintendo exclusively it's a 2nd choice console

[slender spade]

exactly!

[unkempt walrus]

Would love to save up for one tbf

Cuz already got a series x

[idle spear]

I think it depends, for some people it’s enough for what they want but if you are a core gamer as well then probably want something else to go with it.

[slender spade]

^ this tbh.

[unkempt walrus]

Well yeah if you grew up with mario and the like then nintendo is good

But for people like me that like a wide variety of games you need another device

I don't mind people's preferences

[slender spade]

I grew up with PlayStation and then Xbox, I did have a game boy but overall Nintendo was very hard for me to get into and I never really found many of the games except DOGz and cooking mama at the time interesting to play at the same lol.

[unkempt walrus]

I had a gameboy too

The one that folds

[slender spade]

I still do have mine but I lost all the games for it.

[slender spade]

ah I have the advanced transparent one.

[unkempt walrus]

Yeah the gameboy advance

Mine is blue

[slender spade]

I remember how big handhelds were in school. everyone having psps and Nintendo's.

[unkempt walrus]

There was this tom and jerry game I loved

Ahhh memories from when i was 6

[slender spade]

I just looked it up.

I might have played that

Hi

Why is a 5 seconds slow mode?

[fiery python]

To help prevent spam

[vestal slate]

I won’t spam

[fiery python]

Okay? But the slow mode applies to everyone.

[vestal slate]

I really wired that this server doesn’t have any bots…

[fiery python]

It does have bots.

[vestal slate]

Bloxlink?

[fiery python]

But people can still find ways to spam.

It also helps with the flow of conversation.

Because some people

have a habit

of talking

[vestal slate]

How can I be staff or something?

[fiery python]

like this

You can't.

[vestal slate]

Why?

[fiery python]

We don't accept application. Staff are chosen by admins from trusted long standing server members who know how things work here.

[vestal slate]

Ohh, ok unfortunately I understand.

Hey Icky. How goes it?

[upper meteor]

Hey rhinne, I'm good but also gonna be running on 3 ½ hours of sleep for the day... Wbu? How's things

[meager dove]

Another random question what is everyone’s top three games mine our:
3.assassins creed
2.uncharted
1.Halo

[fiery python]

Oof, rough one. I'm doing alright, I guess, just the usual. Currently enjoying the new Avatar expansion

[upper meteor]

Halo
Helldivers
Warhammer 40K space marine 2

[vestal slate]

[limpid flicker]

Damn. That,sucks. Hope it’s not often that way.

[meager dove]

Those are really good choices

[unkempt walrus]

Hellblade
Hellblade 2
RDR2

Well at least those are the games that actually made me care for the story and character.

[upper meteor]

Good to hear! I think there's an upcoming update for space marine 2 so, excited for that

[upper meteor]

Thank you

[upper meteor]

Ehhh 😅😅 since I'm going to sleep really late at night to talk to my gf this is gonna be a common occurrence

[fiery python]

Totally forgot about that game. Maybe I'll get back to it some day.

[upper meteor]

Maaaann you should, they'll add a tech marine class

[fiery python]

Right now I have a list of games I want to replay on the new account, as well as upcoming games I'll be playing, so that's not on the list right now.

[unkempt walrus]

Can someone recommend me a graphically pleasing story game on game pass?

[upper meteor]

Halo

[unkempt walrus]

Not really looking for a shooter

[upper meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/darth-vader-no-noooo-gif-7347380959994097336

[urban dawn]

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

[fiery python]

I was going to say Firewatch, but I forget if it's on Game Pass now or not.

[unkempt walrus]

It's on my list definitely

[unkempt walrus]

Ill check it out, thanks

[idle spear]

Hellblade 2

One of the best looking UE5 games so far

[fiery python]

But play 1 first

And with headphones! That's a must!

[slender spade]

I would recommend the life is strange games even though they're not exactly considered the most graphical pleasing or on game pass.

[slender spade]

does this include my yapping?

I am the yappiest yapper.

[unkempt walrus]

Haha I'm already playing it at this exact second

It's literally on my tv right now

I've already beaten it and played the first one multiple times this is a replay

[meager dove]

Indiana jones: the great circle is fun. And it feels like the movies.

[unkempt walrus]

Will add it to the list

[meager dove]

And also far cry. And assassins creed 3 (remastered) and maybe assassins creed unity.

[steady pilot]

My friend and I finished Redfall last night honestly super fun with a friend after the fixes they had. Wanted to finish before servers go offline eventually

[timber ferry]

Day off work today! Who is Xbox'ing it up today?

[fiery python]

Every day

[hearty plinth]

I wish I had the day off lol

[slender spade]

hmm there's an outage on game saves.

for some reason Xbox network isn't connecting for me either.

https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-live-status

[unreal isle]

Has been for a while.....

[slender spade]

that's not the status I meant!

[slender spade]

oh alright, I've just been playing on the console as of today again.

[unreal isle]

Yeah it's for the 360/backwards compat games.

[slender spade]

it better have saved my progress!

[unreal isle]

Well, if you're using a 360, no

Or a backwards compat game

[slender spade]

I was using backwards compatible, damn.

[unreal isle]

Then wait for it to be fixed

[slender spade]

yeah I'm just gonna go run to the store or something now.

[slender spade]

you play bo7 zombies?

[unreal isle]

No, MP only.

[slender spade]

darn.

[sleek vapor]

xbox gp ended😞

[slender spade]

I only play nuketown mostly for mp.

[sleek vapor]

ggs

[unreal isle]

Better renew it then 👍

[sleek vapor]

real

[slender spade]

someone made a LFG looking for egirls.😭

[unreal isle]

Why do you care?

[sweet harbor]

yk low tier stuff is not talked about enough

[slender spade]

it's just odd

[sweet harbor]

There are notable things at low tier

[slender spade]

okay it'll be ignored.

I was just checking is all.

[granite verge]

Feel free to flag stuff like that to Modmail and we can take a look.
Definitely don't want people being creepy in LFG posts

[cunning fog]

Hey everyone how you doing

[unreal isle]

Hopefully my controller gets dispatched soon! 🥳

[south beacon]

well that latest episode of Fallout got stuck in my head last night

no pun intended

[unreal isle]

Bro must have 2 accounts 🤣 😅

[fiery python]

If you have two accounts in here, please remove one of them. We don't allow alts.

[unreal isle]

That's on my TV show/movie backlog, does look quite good 👍

[slender spade]

done. I have my own reasons for having one but nothing bad.

[fiery python]

Thanks. Nothing wrong in general with having alts, we just don't allow them in here for certain moderation reasons.

[slender spade]

ofcourse and yeah I totally get that, no worries at all. I'm a moderator too so i understand most of the procedures.

[scarlet oar]

I had a bagel yesterday

[slender spade]

how was it?

[scarlet oar]

It was good

[slender spade]

I can't remember the last time I've had one.

[scarlet oar]

Alr gtg bye

[slender spade]

cya.

[south beacon]

true. I have a couple alts, but I haven't touched them in ages. I mostly used them to anonymity

[south beacon]

it is. The most recent one ended in a way where it left me with a lot of questions

it's always funny when they throw a ton of references in the TV series that I'm not 100% understanding with in terms of Fallout lore

I also found out that a certain Fallout game actor made their prescence in a recent episode

[fallow moat]

Remembering André the Giant, who passed away 33 years ago today at 46.

[fiery python]

He was the very definition of an absolute unit.

[fallow moat]

Huge man!

Gigantism.

[wispy epoch]

I need to see a Tribute to him this weekend for Royal Rumble

[fiery python]

Anytime Andre is mentioned, I always think of this pic of him holding a regular can of beer - https://img.atlasobscura.com/MSNS2kwe8lbDXVcjYhgYDDn7ZOD7aQBIGV4pvffj3e8/rs:fill:12000:12000/q:81/sm:1/scp:1/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9hdGxh/cy1kZXYuczMuYW1h/em9uYXdzLmNvbS91/cGxvYWRzL2Fzc2V0/cy9hNmUzMmM5NzZi/ZTMwYzc4NzZfR2V0/dHlJbWFnZXMtNTAw/NDQ1OTYwdjIuanBn.jpg

[fallow moat]

That’s insane.

[west pagoda]

howdy 🤠

well hot dayum I had a nick name "Andre the Giant"

[fallow moat]

Gigantism is definitely taxing on the heart, so yeah RIP to the legend.

[west pagoda]

I used to wait table at the shore cafe and staff called me Andre the Giant

[fallow moat]

https://tenor.com/view/hulkamania-andre-the-giant-over-gif-10299271300911209888

[west pagoda]

was years ago and had to look this "Giant" up lol, well I wasn't as big as him but def tall as him

[urban dawn]

Hell divers 2 is a game nobody really plays anymore. It had a short life cycles. The gameplay loop was too repetitive.

[west pagoda]

you know the fix to that aight? HD2 needs to come to gamepass

[fiery python]

The devs said it never will.

[tight osprey]

as a retro collector i loved halo 3 ODST but im trying to get other good halo games, right now i own halo 3 odst and halo 4 both on xbox 360, the consoles i own on xbox are xbox 360 and xbox one S, anny halo games that i shoud try out?

[west pagoda]

dunno what really recommend to that you already playing the best of Halo

[tight osprey]

allright

[west pagoda]

Halo Wars was ok yk if you into the strategy thingy

[fallow moat]

Halo CE and 2.

[tight osprey]

im usualy more of a racing game type of player but halo is fire

[tight osprey]

alr

i used to own halo 1 (og xbox)

but my brother sold it

[west pagoda]

Halo CE worth a replay btw

[fallow moat]

Bad decision.

[tight osprey]

allright

[open bison]

[tight osprey]

real

[fallow moat]

On November 15th, 2025, I completed the CE campaign on the og copy in one sitting. RIGHT before midnight!

[west pagoda]

Halo Wars 2 sitting on my hd never got into it. I did enjoy Halo Wars 1 tho

[tight osprey]

i have a ton of games just sitting there never played, i might just sell em

[cyan geode]

Borderlands 4

Hey Tes

[merry palm]

i need to play more borderlands 4

i got sick and it fell by the wayside

super fun game

[slender spade]

hello tes.👋

feel better soon.

[west pagoda]

🐴 walks into borderlands

[tight osprey]

gonna buy some digital games

[merry palm]

next thing i get will be woolhaven next week

[west pagoda]

atm enjoying BL3 and waiting till BL4 hit the dirt cheap

[tight osprey]

i got bl1 on 360 but never played it, is it good?

[merry palm]

eeeeh

ok yes but*

[west pagoda]

ooff OG Borderlands

[merry palm]

i would never suggest people play the first one first

[fallow moat]

Borderlands 1 holds up.

[west pagoda]

yeah BL1 still hits ngl

[tight osprey]

alr

[fallow moat]

First one I played anyway.

[merry palm]

its great but like.. its more like.. if you already love it then go play it

or already love the ip

[wary lodge]

Hai

[fallow moat]

I mostly play the enhanced edition.

[west pagoda]

BL1 is rigid and outdated but still fine game

[merry palm]

its missing a lot of the QOL things we take for granted now

great game, but definately dated feeling to play

and i am biased in its favor heavily lol

[tight osprey]

i got a ton of games i own but havent played like mass effect 2 and 3 for the 360

[merry palm]

i generally rec people play the 2nd one first.

[west pagoda]

Doesn't hurt to get to know OG vault hunters

[tight osprey]

alr

[west pagoda]

Brick

Maya

and Mordicai(spelling mind)

[merry palm]

2 has the best story, 3 was great for game mechanics, i loved the humor in the presequel

the first one wa great only after i had a connection that allowed me to not have the game mechanics lol

[tight osprey]

i have a blazblue game but idk if its good or nah

[merry palm]

i tried before and was like.. aaaaaa

its basically the onle pew pew series i play 😂

am a cosy gamer type usually

[slender spade]

I haven't got into borderlands much yet, I did try out Tiny Tina's Wonderland some time ago though.

[fallow moat]

TTW was fun.

[merry palm]

it was

[west pagoda]

TTW sorta different in the way lol

[merry palm]

i do wish the crabs were less spidery.

[fallow moat]

A fantasy-spinoff.

Still a FPS.

[tight osprey]

right now ive been playing some Kameo, loving it

[vocal gorge]

I keep forgetting there was a pre sequel and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands spin off with Borderlands 😅

[slender spade]

not a fan of spiders.

[merry palm]

the presequel's humor is a bit different (different studio), but i really liked it

[west pagoda]

I did like how you move on the map in TTW like a board game

I like Athena in Pressequals most vault hunter in that game

[fiery python]

Oh, didn't know this was coming to PS5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYmxPhhSW-8

I still remember the original Lucky game that was in VR. That was one was fun.

[merry palm]

Oh nice

[west pagoda]

Something about Athenas shield throwing

[fiery python]

Oh interesting, a Witcher version of Reigns. I like those games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_7RrGt4A10

[vocal gorge]

shame Borderlands 4 launch and up until now has been so mixed. Is a great game, full of the usual Borderlands chaos but Unreal Engine 5 performance issues really messes with it - even after multiple patches to try and improve performance

[night elk]

Hey! This might be obvious however to confirm will forza horizon 6 be added to gamepass on release?

[abstract mist]

Yes

[merry palm]

I might actually play fh6

[fiery python]

I might replay Borderlands 4 on my new account. I enjoyed the game, except for the grind to get all characters to max level.

[night elk]

You say that like you weren't planning to prior. Any reservations?

[limber carbon]

I might actually play it in 2029 - highly debating on skipping it altogether.

[merry palm]

I am wildly uninterested in racing games typically

Car go vroom. Not my thing

[tight osprey]

i sadly wont because its too expensive, im staying on motorsports 4 xbox 360

[night elk]

That's fair

[merry palm]

But this one has decorating a space so...

Cosy game racing /j

[night elk]

Honestly I didn't complete forza horizon 4 or 5. Just played a few campaign mission's or played to take ingame pictures. I do believe forza above all is a wallpaper generator.

[limber carbon]

After looking at how Motorfest's game design, the events, the currency, etc - its hard to come back to Forza.
I play approx. 4 genres a week and Forza is hard to jump-in and jump-out

[hearty plinth]

I can't wait for horizon 6 racing in mountains in Japan initial d vibes

[short mantle]

I’ve never watched a Highlander movie. I am interested in the remake though since Stahelski is making it.

First look at Henry Cavill in the ‘HIGHLANDER’ remake.

Directed by Chad Stahelski (‘John Wick’)

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jan 28, 2026, 4:03 PM

[hearty plinth]

I liked those movies except for 2

[night elk]

Are any of you excited for the 007 light game? I think hitman was an amazing series and I'm hoping great feedback for 007

[vast pelican]

Its bladerunner 2.0

[hearty plinth]

Preordered

[vast pelican]

Hey got the gosling drip

[limber carbon]

Absolutely - IO Interactive is brillant at those types of games

[night elk]

Congrats. I hope you enjoy it

[limber carbon]

Hmmm -Cavill with a Scottish accent.

[hearty plinth]

And play anywhere makes it all the better

[merry palm]

i wasn't going to look at the link but you have my attention.

[hearty plinth]

Christopher Lambert was great in those movies.

[limber carbon]

Well, actually, thank Louie - he mentioned it was a remake, so this is what Bing said

[merry palm]

i loved the old show/movies

[limber carbon]

Just a bit of spoilers

Actually, there's no spoiler since Cavill is holding the sword 😄

[hearty plinth]

I just think highlander 2 was bad cause it's step away from the source material

[vocal gorge]

I didn't play much of the Hitman games but definitely looking forward to playing the 007 game

[merry palm]

i generally just go.. ok its now fanfic and i like fanfic.

mentally divorce myself from it having to be exactly like the source

[short mantle]

I’m excited for the Space Marine tv show. Cavill is lead in that too, and he’s a big fan of the IP.

[night elk]

I completed it all 3 parts and I can say it'd a great game. The wide range of options to kill targets

[merry palm]

must support the nerdy gamer actor!

I loved Henry cavill in The Ministry of ungentlmanly warfare. Wish there was a sequel to that.

[sharp maple]

Hey everyone i need help with this math issue for disney dreamlight valley i have 2,870 moonstones and when i buy more moonstones for 16,500 moonstones it will give me 19,370 moonstones and if i spend 9,450 moonstones how much will i have left over

[fluid creek]

i'm positive you have a calculator at your disposal

feel free to use it

[sharp maple]

i am not that great at math

[fluid creek]

great time to figure it out

[merry palm]

that is what the calculator is for

[night elk]

Copy paste the question in chatgpt. You might even get an explanation

[merry palm]

noooo

i wouldnt trust chat gpt with math

😂

[fluid creek]

we've reached the point where you need chatgpt to basic arithmetic??

[merry palm]

its just a subtraction problem oml

[fluid creek]

like this is basic, basic level stuff

[merry palm]

do the one number... minus the other number...

on the calculator on your device

[night elk]

Yeah you are right. You gotta do the work wolfman

[limber carbon]

Xbox has a Gaming Copilot function for this....

[fiery python]

...

[fluid creek]

wolfman spent more time posting here and complaining than just trying to figure it out lol

[fiery python]

Could have even just gone 'Hey Siri / Hey Google' and asked, depending on what device you have.

[limber carbon]

Man I can't wait for 2060 to come

[merry palm]

i am concerned that people havent mastered 2nd grade math.

[slender spade]

generative AI is for lazy People.

[fluid creek]

that's a lazy statement tbh

anyway

the best part is that you don't even need to do the math. it does it for you if you buy the moonstones and then spend them lol

[limber carbon]

Oh Stardew valley concert..

[merry palm]

ive wanted to go to that but didnt have the funds when it came here ;-;

looks really fun

[open flume]

my 10 year old is home sick, should i ask him to solve it?

[open flume]

my 10 year old has a 100.9 fever and accomplished this correctly

be better than that

@sharp maple

[merry palm]

you start talking, and interact with other people for a while and then eventually the people who you keep talking to are friends

its not instant, typically... outside of school

[steady swift]

But I'm in college now

[foggy mason]

does anyone want to be apart of my team?

[sharp maple]

thanks that means a lot

[foggy mason]

add me and Ill send you the inviteyou wll have the time of your life

[fiery python]

I already am apart from it.

[steady pilot]

Thanks. We played all the borderlands through 3. A bit burned out on it. Might go back later

[merry palm]

as an adul its harder to make friends bc you arent trapped with people.

[night elk]

I've been writing letters to people on penpal apps

[steady swift]

Which game

[merry palm]

best bet is to find a hobby you like doing that has a group to do said hobby with other people and go do that a lot.

[night elk]

It's a good way to make friends

[foggy mason]

fort,roblox, and gta

Is anyone wants to play battlefield 1 or any gamepass game ?

Bad boy 😢

[night elk]

Did you guys try 'rv there yet'?

[fluid creek]

don't be weird.

[merry palm]

i found a local group that plays board games once a week and went to that. that way there was something to talk about and do. might check your area for that or craft groups!

group meetups where there is a thing to do are way better

but fr it was actual work on my part

I'm good Icky, am debating if I should just sit down for two hours and kill JCVD.

[slender spade]

not too bad just chilling.

[limber carbon]

But he created 12 clones of himself in the mission and its a nuisance to kill him

OMG!! Milla Jokovich is coming in February.

[fluid creek]

what

[upper meteor]

Go destroy him

[fluid creek]

oh hitman?

man. i can't figure that game out. iw ant to like it so bad

but i get so confused

[upper meteor]

Think like an ODST

You gotta be sneaky

[limber carbon]

Yeah, its hard. You need to stalk the target and wait patiently before killing them.
Man, I hope they bring the Ultraviolet version of her.
It will be so cool

Charlize Theron in Aeon Flux would be nice as well.
I missed the opportunity to kill Eminem (in game of course, lyrically is impossible)

[fluid creek]

lil bro i can't even figure out how to launch the game somtimes 😂

[upper meteor]

😆😅

Also "lil bro" not even here am I safe from being called that

😂

[fluid creek]

and then i got stuck so i was like "i'll google" (notice i didn't ask here!) and google was like "do the story mission first, it'll help"

but it did not tell me how to find the story mission.

it is not a great UI experience lol

[upper meteor]

Ok tbh I think the UI was a bit confusing yeah

[hearty plinth]

Can u play previous targets in hitman?

[upper meteor]

Think so yeah

[limber carbon]

Are you referring to the Elusive targets? Yes (once yearly). The story mode or escalations are repeatable.

[hearty plinth]

Yeah the exclusive targets

But, you know about it correct?

[limber carbon]

They are disabling the feature on 3rd February - that's what I meant.

[limber carbon]

My recommendation - unlock all the items as fast as you can and quickly transfer your progress.

[limber carbon]

Most of us here have Xbox consoles for gaming, either the Series, One or X360, purchaseable through various consumer stores. Why do you ask?

[proper vault]

im trying to get the msix of a Xbox Game for research purposes

I heard you can get them using an xbox development kit

But they are extremely rare

[merry palm]

feels like a rule 14 thing

I love these new sort views with the new UI for cloud gaming

[fiery python]

I'm really enjoying this new Avatar expansion so far. Really great story and gameplay. I've seen the first two films but wasn't over hyped by them, but this expansion is making me more interested in watching the third movie.

[vast ermine]

I love Hitman 1 especially when || You kill Caruso as the Psychiatrist that's my favorite one and then disguise yourself as the detective to kill De Santos and then invade the funeral home to take the lab coat and then destroy the virus || truly a fun level all around. Spoilers for Hitman 1 btw

[short mantle]

I didn't know Jet Li had another movie coming out. It's been so long since I've seen him in anything. I just watched the trailer and it looks awesome.

[vocal garnet]

Can someone help me install this game that’s for free

[fluid creek]

?

[vocal garnet]

Dm me

[fluid creek]

no?

it's not hard to install a free game. what are you having problems with?

[cerulean basin]

Oh, Discord now has back and forward buttons on desktop? Pretty useful actually

[ripe grotto]

Sup

How’s it going yall

[cerulean basin]

Just chilling back at home, playing some games

Did a couple rounds of Ball x Pit, now Div 2

[fiery python]

Ball x Pit is great. I've not restarted that yet though.

[small seal]

War… war never changes

[vocal garnet]

I installed it but it’s not popping up anywhere

[abstract mist]

What is it?

[small seal]

Wait wrong mention

[small seal]

War… war never changes..

[fluid creek]

a what now. i don't see anything new do tell!

[fiery python]

Back and forward for what? Is it to just go back to the previous channel you were viewing?

[cerulean basin]

That on the top-left, unless I'm blind, I think it's new? 😛

[noble trout]

It's new.

[ripe grotto]

Yep you’re not wrong

[fiery python]

Oh yeah, I see it, but in a different position.

[summer magnet]

Ah I don't have the new thing 🙁

[fluid creek]

i have that. but idk what it does 😮

[fiery python]

Standard back and forward keyboard shortcut also works. ⌘/ctrl + [ or ]

[fiery python]

It just goes back to the channel you viewed last.

[fluid creek]

interesting

[cerulean basin]

Can be useful sometimes, especially with keyboard shortcuts, to quickly jump back and forth between servers

[limber carbon]

That's handy

[fiery python]

I just use option + shift + cursor up or down to jump to the next unread channel, or option and cursor up/down to change channel.

I assume alt on Windows for that.

[limber carbon]

I'm always learning something new from Rhinne every week.

But maybe the back / forward is new.
But I have a mouse with the buttons for back and forward.

Sigh...I am at an impasse - not sure what to play

[bright marsh]

Hmm, I just got a Steam Deck and I’m wondering what game I should buy to play on it.

[tired hare]

Wich games do you have

[fiery python]

Megabonk

[opal cairn]

Sony interactive entertainment

Can't wait for Forza 6 on PS5

[cerulean basin]

It'll come eventually, yeah

More people playing the game = good

[opal cairn]

And xbox sales down

Bravo Microsoft

[cerulean basin]

Those who already have an Xbox will likely play it on Xbox. Those with PS5, will play it on PS5

[fiery python]

After seeing FH5 on the PS5 Pro, I'll definitely be tempted to get 6 for it too after playing it on Xbox.

[opal cairn]

What about the new Xbox console?

[cerulean basin]

We don't have much details of it yet, but yeah, we know it'll be backwards compatible

So it will play FH6 as well

[bright marsh]

Seems, interesting

[uncut canyon]

Xbox is lowkey trash bruh I'm on old gen and all of the new games arent compatible like bruh lemme play ready or not

Bruh bruh bruh

[cerulean basin]

The old gen consoles are already over 13 years old...

[uncut canyon]

I lowkirkuenly don't gaf

[cerulean basin]

It's up to the developers of the game to make games compatible for older consoles or not, but most have already moved on for a reason

[fallow moat]

13 in November is nuts.

[cerulean basin]

GTA6 date? Or...

Ugh... I've been trying to get a specific activity to appear in the map in Div 2 and it's just not happening at all XD

RNG playing against me right now

[short mantle]

I remember that episode lol

[cerulean basin]

I'm gonna force change the spawn rates next time I'm at the office >_>

(Kidding ofc, I don't have the power to do that out of the blue :P)

Same here, but in Fallout 76. I'm currently trying to catch all of the living legends fish, but I haven't hooked any of them yet. I think I read it's a 5% chance each time you cast.

I finished the challenge for catching 760 fish yesterday. None of them were legends. 🙃

[fiery python]

Reminds me of my RNG woes in RDR2.

[short mantle]

I’m tired of fishing, but I want the legends to hang on my walls.

[cerulean basin]

This game has decided that I shall never get the random encounter I need to progress with the seasonal content 🥲

[fiery python]

It's revenge for Avatar not counting my one shot kills on the AMP suits 😛

[cerulean basin]

🙃

Are you sure you're not trying to do the achievement for From the Ashes? That one requires a specific skill for So'lek

[fiery python]

I'm playing From the Ashes

[cerulean basin]

Oh

Then yeah, that one is painful and I suffered with you as well

[fiery python]

I finished the second DLC last night, so started on From the Ashes today.

[cerulean basin]

How far in did you get so far?

[fiery python]

Done a few various bits with the ||visiting traders|| and just finished off ||Frontiers Port Echo and made it to the resistance base with Teylan||

Up to part 3 of Windward

[hearty prawn]

Never stress

[cerulean basin]

Ah yeah, Windward is one of the sidequest. You're pretty close to one of the major beats of the campaign.

[slender spade]

hi anchel!

[cerulean basin]

Hey there

[slender spade]

hope it's going well today friend

[fiery python]

I'm about to check out a potential farming spot for the One Shot achievement as it mentions it's best to do it early on before they end up with armoured windscreens.

[cerulean basin]

I did 25 of them in one spot in the very last mission where it was easy to kill one, jump off and die, rinse and repeat... So yeah...

[fiery python]

I just need to figure out which base they're referring to as all they said is 'west of Hometree'.

There's a lot of west...

[cerulean basin]

West of the Hometree you usually have the fire-themed RDA posts. But those usually have AMP Pyros, which have shielding.

[fiery python]

It's so much better that your Ikran picks you up directly, rather than landing in some random direction 70 metres away.

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, that was one of the first features implemented back in 2024 even 😄

[cerulean basin]

Heh, just for funsies I decided to ask a few different AI models to search online if I've ever done or said anything controversial on the Internet. I was not expecting to see this from over a decade ago 😆

[fiery python]

Surprised to see Grey's Anatomy still so high 20+ seasons later.

Bob's Burgers should be higher.

[cursive nebula]

Anyone elses local files were deleted?

[cerulean basin]

Nope

[abstract mist]

I'm pretty sure I'm directly responsible for most of those Bob's Burgers views. I watch them daily

[merry palm]

love bluey.

hype

[fiery python]

Only if I delete anything.

[cursive nebula]

I heard there was a notice sent out that xbox would be deleting captures on the Xbox network, but for some apparent reason my local files were deleted as well.

[fiery python]

That was well over a year ago at this point

Captures over 90 days? 30 days? I forget. They get auto deleted.

[merry palm]

getting people in for that still is wild..

[slender spade]

gone. turned to dust.

[merry palm]

waiting to see someone turn up asking who pinged , from last summer

when we had our last @ everyone

[cursive nebula]

Captures on the xbox network, not captures on your local files

[slender spade]

yeah they're gone.

[fiery python]

Yes, I know.

[cursive nebula]

I have clips from 100+ days, I think the 90 day policy is for clips uploaded to Xbox’s network.

When was this policy on the deleting of local xbox captures implemented, I have plenty of storage im just confused

[slender spade]

like a year ago as mentioned.

[cursive nebula]

Xbox automatically deletes game clips and screenshots uploaded to the Xbox network after 90 days, not your local files?

[slender spade]

yes. it does not affect your local files.

[cursive nebula]

Thats what im saying, I have no idea how I lost local files from 2023, 2024 etc when I have a lot of storage.

Since I never uploaded them to the network.

[slender spade]

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2023/09/27/bonus-xbox-update-for-september/

[fiery python]

Not really anything anyone here can do unfortunately. If they were deleted, they're gone.

[cursive nebula]

Yes, “Game captures stored on the Xbox network will be deleted after 90 days” so why are captures on my Xbox console, not networking being deleted

[fiery python]

Okay, let's stop repeating that.

[cursive nebula]

Ah that sucks, thank you anways

[cursive nebula]

Well I lost years worth of memories for no apparent reason

[slender spade]

HALOOOOO

[fiery python]

If something you have digitally is important to you, always have a backup

[cursive nebula]

I shouldn’t need a backup if it is stored locally on my console no? It wasn’t like it was uploaded to any cloud or network. It was in my consoles SSD

[fiery python]

You should, because that console could break.

[cursive nebula]

Im under the assumption that a barely 2 year old console wouldn’t break no?

[merry palm]

unrelated: im trying to get twitch drops and so many channels dont turn the drops on properly but list that they do

[fiery python]

A 2 day old console could potentially break.

[slender spade]

sounds like they wanna get some quick viewers, that sucks though.

[cerulean basin]

One could have a flood, have their house robbed, an electrical failure... There's plenty of reasons why it's a good idea to keep backups

[sullen geode]

omg !!!

[cursive nebula]

I just find it strange other Xbox users are under the same issue of local files being deleted?

[fiery python]

2 years, it most definitely could. That's out of warranty period.

Backup anything digital that is important to you, regardless of how old the device is.

[slender spade]

yes and backup your backup.

[merry palm]

takes me back to the days where autosave wasnt a regular thing

[cerulean basin]

It's just good practice to keep your data safe

[cursive nebula]

I would agree, its just strange to me that it occurred to multiple people

[abstract mist]

Exactly why I'm paranoid about backing things up these days

[merry palm]

no trust 😂 😂

[short mantle]

32% decline in hardware sales is insane.

https://www.theverge.com/news/869493/microsoft-q2-2026-earnings-revenue-profits-windows-xbox-gaming-surface

[cerulean basin]

Are we surprised at this point?

[open flume]

no lol

[fiery python]

Surely a decline in hardware sales of a several year old device is normal?

[topaz marten]

Just got banned from minecraft server for telling thr truth

[cerulean basin]

We know they haven't been pushing console hardware sales hard for a while

[open flume]

money bar on chart go up

all happeh

[open flume]

ill be real with you. we dont wanna hear about it here.

[cerulean basin]

Plus, there were price increases for consoles, and no Black Friday or Christmas deals

[slender spade]

Peng!

[open flume]

net income of 30 billion US dollars in 3 months. holy

30 billion in profit. wild

a 23% increase

[merry palm]

people are waiting to hear if a new console gets announced.. makes sense they aren't buying hardware

at least it does to me

[open flume]

yeah also that

coming up on 6 years, too, right?

[fiery python]

Most people also already bought their console.

[open flume]

yeah, in my mind, all the people that were like "L msft for price hike" werent gonna buy the console anyway

if they wanted to they would have already

[short mantle]

PS5 and the Switch don't have a problem moving off shelves. I rarely sold an Xbox when I worked at GameStop. It's just not as popular right now.

[foggy skiff]

hi

[cursive nebula]

They are dying it seems like tbh

[merry palm]

i'd consider buying the next gen budget option

[fiery python]

Hey Coffee. Long time no see.

[cursive nebula]

Just off of conversations i’ve had

[open flume]

i also think the style of purchasing from an xbox fan is different. i feel like data will show more people purchase online for them just given the fact game pass is seemingly baked into the structure of the ecosystem

[merry palm]

^

[limber carbon]

Coffee!!!

[open flume]

those conversations are dumb

[foggy skiff]

hello!

[foggy skiff]

indeed, how are you

[merry palm]

idk that many people buying large ticket items in person unless its for a gift they need like right now

[limber carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/cartoon-dog-puppy-wave-hi-gif-2428711281209573339

[pearl igloo]

Hello

[merry palm]

i would rather things just get shipped to me with a good customer service policy

[open flume]

https://www.purexbox.com/news/2026/01/in-the-us-66percent-of-xbox-series-xs-sales-were-digital-only-in-2025

[slender spade]

Hiya, welcome to the server.

[open flume]

3 days ago

[pearl igloo]

Thank youu

[foggy skiff]

hi to you too

[open flume]

so ~16% higher than PS5.

plus the already comparatively low hardware sales as it is

[short mantle]

Porting their games over to PS helped a lot too. FH5 was the most bought game on the PS5 last year. I hope Sony took notice. I would love to replay some PS exclusives on Xbox.

[foggy skiff]

Louie

[merry palm]

i hope the next s console is comparatively as small

love how smol the series s is

[short mantle]

I'm looking forward to the new console, but I'm not looking forward to the price.

[open flume]

i want the next console to just be the size of like the base of a gaming laptop

i can slide it into the small space on my entertainment center

and do like my dad where he put his coffee on top of the dvd player

[merry palm]

like.. vcr size?

[open flume]

no we already had the vcr

lol

[merry palm]

or thinner

[open flume]

good idea tho - new design should be Beta Max inspired

[fiery python]

The incessant negativity and false information that gets constantly spread online and parroted everywhere doesn't help either.

Then people believe random youtubers and others online, spread that info to others but get details mixed so things become even more twisted.

[merry palm]

all the old entertainment centers i can affor have vcr size slots so like..

nothing fits

[spare sinew]

Can i get banned for buying games/gamepass from an unsupported country?

[merry palm]

yes

[fiery python]

Yes

[spare sinew]

Is there any way i can buy?

[fallow moat]

Incoming rare freeze for Florida.

[merry palm]

i want a purple or pink option

[fiery python]

Not if you're in an unsupported region, no.

[open flume]

yeah also the headlines. on that site i linked, for the same story anchel shared, they spun it to say "XBOX Console sales lowest ON RECORD EVER. DOWN 39%"

[slender spade]

I really liked the design of the 360, I also prefer glossy consoles though I know they get scratched up easily 🙁

[open flume]

like, accurate, but hyperbolic

[merry palm]

black and white only is just.. meh

super boring

i know its all we will get, but still

[open flume]

yeah, and colorware or wtv it's called is too expensive

[merry palm]

yea

[open flume]

member back in the day when phone companies would release all sorts of fun colors

[merry palm]

yep!

[open flume]

member the Katana and Razr?

in like 39 colorways?

[merry palm]

alllll the colors

[open flume]

consoles should be like shoes - all the colorways

[merry palm]

i also know people would pay more for fun colors

[limber carbon]

Going to turn in for the night - night night

[merry palm]

night

[open flume]

yeah you can easily charge $129+ for $8 of paint lol

[slender spade]

this is my complaint with higher end phones like for instance apples Pro max line has basic colours and their standard has very pretty ones like teal and pink!

[open flume]

yup!

[merry palm]

the pro versions have crap colors tho

i hate them

[open flume]

would you like the ASSAULT BLACK or the COMPOSITE OFF WHITE

miss me with that

[slender spade]

so true😭

[green laurel]

penguin wants all the rainbow consoles

[merry palm]

in fairness i am just going to buy a cute case but still

[slender spade]

they should have an Xbox that is pride related.

just that.

[merry palm]

i keep hoping they update the controller

the current pride one is busy

makes me distracted 😂

[slender spade]

oh the one they made back in 2022!

[merry palm]

mhm

[open flume]

I'm an ally for inclusion!

Also, love color

[slender spade]

I'd love to see another of those aswell.

[merry palm]

im kinda just tired of the only way to get a fun looking console is to go 3rd party skins

they are a pain to put on

[green laurel]

we need translucent consoles again

[slender spade]

YES

[fiery python]

I don't mind it being basic black. I prefer that. Most of my tech is black.

Plus the Xbox is behind my TV so I can't even see it.

But would be nice if there were options for other people.

[slender spade]

purple and green translucent colours I'm sold.

I'd want to get them all like the infinity stones.

[lusty dragon]

Microsoft should go back to making the limited edition consoles like on the 360

Id buy one in a heartbeat

[slender spade]

yeah the doom console was just a skin wasn't it?

[fiery python]

One of the smart wrap things they did

[slender spade]

tbh I like that it's Pro consumer for people to not have to buy an entire new consoles just for it.

[fiery python]

Or maybe smart wrap was the name a third-party company used. I think Xbox just called them wraps.

https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/accessories/console-wraps/xbox-series-x

[slender spade]

that's sick.

[fiery python]

Ah yeah, it was this place I got my Tardis one from (and never used) that called them Smart Wraps - https://www.extreme-consoles.co.uk/smartwraps

[vagrant mica]

My PS5 is the spiderman one which is cool

[slender spade]

love that crystal green one.

last thing I got that limited edition for a console was the last of us controller.

[mystic basin]

many people say‘s

that in sea of thieves

we can claim 1 month free gamepass

I read the 5 pages and received nothing.

[slender spade]

https://about.webtoon.com/press-release/230

[merry palm]

i have never heard that before

[slender spade]

this?

[half glade]

is there any way to check how the profile effects look like in the shop? on pc?

[mystic basin]

Yes

it‘s real, but the code comes on the 17 febraur

[tired hare]

Are there any nightreign players?

[mystic basin]

since i know

[slender spade]

I'm pretty sure you can just hover over them or something.

or press but don't buy ofcourse.

[mystic basin]

but a bunch of people are saying it and the website is saying it too

[merry palm]

ok but you just said that you wont get the code as it comes later..

so ?

which is it?

[mystic basin]

so i don‘t wanna say it‘s a scam but also won‘t say it‘s real

[slender spade]

if it's from webtoon themselves I'm sure it's official.

[mystic basin]

they asked why the code doesnt came, then most of people said that it will come on 17. februar

[slender spade]

it's an official collab.

[mystic basin]

but i‘m not that sure

[mystic basin]

then it‘s real

[merry palm]

i trust 0 'most people' or 'they'

[half glade]

i did but its not working theres no animation

[merry palm]

read official stuff and the terms.. if thats all proper than look for that

[mystic basin]

but if the website is saying it then you have to trut them

[slender spade]

"Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite is available now on WEBTOON. The promotional event runs through February 13, 2026, and codes must be redeemed within 30 days of being claimed, with final redemption ending by March 15, 2026."

[merry palm]

^

[mystic basin]

i think it‘s real

[slender spade]

you have to wait until February 13, it is real.

[mystic basin]

okk

i did a speedrun at the pages

[merry palm]

you dont have to wait until then. it just goes until then

[mystic basin]

so i‘m not 100% sure that i will get it xD

[slender spade]

Oh I misread myself lol.

oops!!

it's real though you'll get it some things just take time.

[mystic basin]

even if i speedruned it?

is it legaly to do it with other account also?

i‘m just asking…

[merry palm]

that said its only a trial. so if you have used a trial before then it isnt useful

[slender spade]

I mean it's preferable not to speedrun it just to make sure it works.
