    No Man's Sky

    I restarted (had a dozen hours into the pre-Foundation game), but no 21:9 support still is a bummer, will give it a go when my group is done w/ Conan Exiles.

    I only used kb/mouse in GTA, but otherwise for games like Rocket League I use my Xbox One Elite controller. The DS4 can work as well. Both typically need a dongle (Windows receiver or bluetooth if you don't have it natively). For rare occasions I'd get your console controller of choice and...

    Anyone built a box just for dedicated server stuff? Thinking maybe Minecraft and some flavor of the month stuff so right now it'd include Conan Exiles. Pretty sure my old e6600 build w/ more RAM and a new HDD wouldn't cut it, but wondering if others have done something like this and might have...

    Some 360 games might be cheaper to buy digitally than used FWIW. Game pass is amazing for people newer to the platform: Xbox Game Pass | Xbox EA Access is great also if you're interested in their catalog (lots of sports but a few other franchises): EA Access - play EA's best games for Xbox One...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Wow. We're on act 4, working to wrap it up before this drops so we can consider restarting, lol. I've got 80 hours in this game, mostly related to this current playthrough.

    This is from 12/16. The most recent pass by Juno I think was the closest ever, science/images haven't been sent back yet as that pass was just last night.

    I don't know, it'll be a fun game for a LAN in January and maybe some time before that, that's all I'm expecting to get out of it. I don't really play games like that for the PVP, etc. We played Osiris last LAN, this will replace that in the same genre at the next.

    All the articles about it just say Netflix is the only updated app for testers, haven't really seen anything suggest that will be the extent of the implementation. I tend to stick to the native tv apps myself before we got a Fire Cube.

    I'm finally playing the single player of this myself after watching hundreds of hours of GTA RP. We do some GTA Online during some of our LANs, but the online system has to be one of the clunkiest in any game.

    Those are the dates you can see the deal and claim them to your Twitch account, then you own them forever. Edit: which was answered multiple times already but the forum wasn't showing me those posts or I'm just a potato today.

    This was a great season... but that last episode, what the fuck. Not sure I like the direction they're setting things for a season 3. Would be kinda OK if this was the end of the series.

    I have a Samsung TV and I'm using ARC. Actually off the top of my head I can't tell you if the Cube is trying to control the stereo at all and letting ARC do everything, probably the latter.
