I say go for it, @Nirgon! Trying to steal the Vanguard database.... they'd probably just send you for a psyche eval. Only real risk is if they see your hopium posts in the Pantheon thread they'd probably forcibly commit you. Just stick to Vanguard crazy, not Pantheon crazy, and you'll be a-okay.

For PC searches I just back button through cat video categories to pump up cat video metrics, then forward button the next day, then back button the next day. Rarely even stop to watch a cat video! But muh time sink. I coulda been a millionaire if I decided not to work full time for MS Rewards.

Yeah, totally, I could give up MS Rewards and save myself 15 minutes a day of shit I typically do anyway. And boy the free time I'd save. If put it into a job that paid me to sit on the toilet where I do most of Rewards clicks, why I could buy the same games and hardware I'd buy for my gaming...

Been doing Xbox Ambassador program for the past quarter. It's mostly the same as always, just clicking shit without actual participation. Sometimes LFG 'missions' where you just find groups started just to get credit for the mission so you don't actually have to play anything. All pretty dumb...

The Tapatio peanuts are pretty good. Spicy in flavor instead of that weird chemical tasting spice a lot of shit has now days that just burns but doesn't taste like much. Weird thing is everywhere I only see the mixed nuts, and peanuts only on ebay, so maybe discontinued? The spiciest Tapatio...

There are no more burger stands or similar places around here (or the last city I lived in that was sort of known for them and they all got pushed out of business it seems). That's the shame. Used to be willing to pay more for a better product from a small, local business, but now they're gone...

Bought a cheap $12 phone/controller holder. Been playing a few basic games like Slay the Spire on Xcloud while random stuff is on TV. Works great, even on my pay-per-minute phone that was basically free with purchase of minutes. Amazing the cheap gaming options these days. I hope they do...

Good point. If they'd just let George R&R Martin have his way we wouldn't have gotten a rushed, shitty ending. The ending can't be bad if we never get the ending!

User reviews are funny for this game. I'll summarize the two types: 1-4 star ratings mostly address the game and it being unplayable garbage, or playable garbage, to hoping/wishing there are future patches that help fix the garbage because it could be fun but is garbage. 5 star ratings: the...

Well, yeah, of course they're dying more. They got the buggy version of the game and you have an advantage since you never get any bugs. Where can I get me some of them bug free versions of Cyberpunk and this steaming pile?

Better than some alternatives. Like syphilis, go figure. Or shanked by a meth whore, go figure. I'm thinking your story ending with divorce or going to counseling is the least of the things I would have figured. What was it that put her over the edge? Or in a twist ending are you demanding she...

How much thinking is required by literally ordering an item verbatim from the menu? Now we should list all the other versions of similar items we don't want, so they don't have to think too much? You sure?

No. Mouse and keyboards I could see overcoming awkward controls. Controller feels like being forced to only keyboard-arrow-turn in EQ. It basically requires target lock to even function, but that POV has its own problems. And if it requires target lock, why not just make it an auto-target system...

Console and PC crossplay is just going to reveal even more how shit this game is on console with a controller. They'd be smart to keep them separated at this point. Are UI elements and windows opening/closing freezing the game for a few seconds on PC? Because being frozen for two seconds to be...

Assuming the game is more smooth and playable on PC. I think it will be the main source of misunderstanding about reactions to the game. It's launching with what feels like a bad port on console. And for no reason because didn't someone say no crossplay? So they could have changed some...

No, no my apologies. Honestly didn't know you were neuroatypical and had a hard time deciphering casual conversation. I asked for an answer to one question. Does that mean I'm personally very angry and an insolent child and the one thing I wanted to see you try to defend is the only point I was...

Yes. Yes you're right. The real problem isn't movement controls are shit, targeting is shit, there are absurd animation locks and warping and movement/attack sync issues, and everything in the game generally feels sluggish and plodding.... the problem is actually that people in this thread are...

This is how bad the game is. With a half hour of trying the game I came up with a handful of very noticeable flaws that are so fundamental and perplexing that it indicates foundational issues in game design and the mentality and/or abilities of developers. And instead of being able to defend the...

Yes, this is how dumb and unintuitive the design is. The game, once you select your mission on the map, gives you connect-the-dot markers to run to the other part of camp to load the mission. They took the time to add in directions to this pointless, poor game design! I wasn't meaning literally...

Yes, half baked, incomplete, with inexplicable design 'decisions' left in the game. Glad we agree, fren. Even still, in Monster Hunter I thought I remember you just loaded/clicked a UI button when you were ready. I don't remember running to a vacant, pointless spot in camp to 'load' the...

To be fair, last time we were in Spokane (pretty white area) the Chic-Fil-A they had one black dude and he was very polite and articulate. Which I know is racist to point out a black person being articulate, but the shocking thing was more than he was a teenager and articulate. But, yeah, spoke...

Only say "sausage mcgriddle" (as was done multiple times) or say "sausage mcgriddle, only" (and have them think that's the only item being ordered)? But either way, no. How many times do you have to say the exact wording on their menu for them to understand "SAUSAGE MCGRIDDLE!" Said it like...

It's like they designed this game from the ground up to be a shitty console port in an era when a game like this would feasibly be played on controllers even on PC. The controls/movement in this game remind me of a claw-toy machine I used once that had two joysticks, one for forward-back, one...

Recent trip to McDs: I'd like a Sausage McGriddle. Sausage Egg and Cheese McGriddle? No, Sausage McGriddle. Got it, Sausage Egg and Cheese McGriddle. No, just sausage on the McGriddle. The pancake sandwich with just sausage. Sausage McGriddle. Oh, pancakes? That's actually called hotcakes with...

Archers just need to parry to get stamina back? Great game design.

Just technical stuff, like one class being crippled by stamina drain, while another can spam every stamina draining ability and never run out? And FOV zoom linked to target lock? And lots of running pointlessly to locations in the same hallway style levels? These are poor decisions in game...

I thought the game may not be great, but could still be stupid fun, but it seems broken on fundamental, foundational levels. At least the thread will still be entertaining if there is a fanboy or two willing to defend the game, though.

Overall controls are awkward. Combat feels clunky and sluggish. Not intuitive at all or expected standards of the format. Targeting is sorta shitty, but non-target style is worse. Not really an autotarget system and the controls are shit, so gets annoying. Was hoping for something like the...

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate real people over every review I read that just says everything is always great, then give mediocre scores. Wireless and/or bluetooth sound perfect for me since I swap between story moments in games and podcasts on phone as is, so would use that function on...

I thought you might be exaggerating a bit, but holy shit the entire screen is covered in my username repeated probably 50 times (counted: 66 full and partials down either side). I get they want to deter early screenshots or whatever, but couldn't play with that eye AIDS covering the entire...

Thanks. Was wondering/asking about it in the Dark Alliance thread since it seems heavily online. I'm pretty anti-social so don't even own a headset and definitely not an audiophile. Anyone think I'd notice or care between the $100 xbox vs $40 Kingston HyperX CloudX? Would only use for online...

Showed girlfriend the trailer with the Flight of the Conchords guy she likes. She recognized him immediately and said the game looked fun, so very good marketing because she rarely plays games, mostly lego games or telltale, but was interested. She survived minecraft dungeons okay, so won't be...

Forza Horizon 5 this year? Nice. Thought not til next year for some reason. Old fallout games for game pass are finally ultimate editions, which is about time, but PC only, so still half dumb. Maybe they're still selling DLCs on console? Just annoying me at this point because who doesn't own...

Remember the defense of these companies dumbing down their games for mass market online experiences was they'd make so much money (and bring new fans in!) they'd then be MORE able to fund the more intricate or involved single player games. They either miscalculated and aren't making the money or...

Holy crap. I built my last PC around Skyrim. Now I'm playing it on xbox.... What am I doing with my life!

Confirmed it doesn't work on lapsed accounts? Usually these deals work if you just let sub expire. Can then stack live cards again and convert 1to1 ratio. Thought about ultimate on my girlfriend's account with the 3 months for a dollar to earn more points to buy myself some head phones. But...

That's what pissed me off. Not that I had to grind and started out a bit suckier. I mean, I made a 5' 11" point guard focused on nothing but speed and handling and passing. But my guy couldn't handle the ball, couldn't pass, and was slow. And the only offense capability I was built for was...

I should have been more specific that I was thinking of mostly the NBA Live 19 and the NBA2K franchises were shockingly bad in the way they cripple your player in career mode and of course for online play. The career modes are the big thing they offer that is supposed to be so innovative, but...

Most of the big sports games are long, boring, intentionally frustrating grinds designed to punish you into paying to power level your character. That kind of graft almost works for me in an RPG where there is an expectation of building a character. But sports? My character is a top prospect, 18...
