This is a cute ad minus the part where the dogs are being ignored by their people. I've never done that to my dog while playing a video game. That just seems really mean and they understand when they are being ignored.

My cat comes and sits on my ottoman when I'm gaming and is very content to just be next to my feet.

My cat used to sit in my lap and purr while I played. I would lose multiplayer games because I would keep stopping to snuggle her. I miss you kitty!

I’m very very happy with my Series S. It feels like getting a new pc. Everything runs and looks so much better. I’m glad I paid $300 to play Destiny 2 with slightly better FPS.

30->60 fps is worth 300 bucks tbh, I hope devs keep doing 60fps modes on Series S with whatever low rear end res it needs

What the gently caress. Paused WD: Legion to watch Prime Video and not only did it turn off the game in the background, I lost all of today's progress. Obviously the save fuckery is on Ubi but MS really needs to make it clearer when launching an app closes others

Anybody still waiting on their WalMart order? My FedEx tracking hasn't been updated since Nov 13th. I'm pretty sure my Series X was jacked. Walmart has been moving back the delivery date every day and they're not letting me get a refund until 24 hours have passed after the delivery date which they changed 3 times already.

Any advice or similar scenario? I'm pretty over this already.

Can you contact FedEx and get them to investigate? Then it should get back to Walmart.

A couple years ago I got an iPad for my wife from Walmart and it just stalled at a delivery center and Walmart refused to do poo poo until the delivery company formally marked it as missing/lost.

Oof sorry - I got an X on the 19th and PS5 on the 25th and both delivered within 4 or 5 days of ordering.

Just reminding everyone there's a bunch of MS rewards points in the Xbox/Game pass apps. Already notched a little over 4k points this month.

I had a weird thing happen the other night with the store - got enough MS Reward points for a $10 credit, and decided to use that credit to get the Xbox 360 version of Soul Calibur II which never seems to go on sale and didn't want to pay $20 for it, but $10 + $10 reward money seemed fair. When I checked out, it hung up and told me that "something went wrong" and that I should try again later. I tried three more times and got the same thing, so I waited a few minutes, tried twice more and decided to wait until morning to try again.

I woke up and my account owns Soul Calibur II, and I still have my $10 credit. :downs:

There is no record of the transaction in my purchases.

My excitement for the apparent free game is tempered a bit by the five pending $10 authorizations on my credit card - let's hope at least three of those go away so I don't have to call customer service with this bizarre story.

Good job, Microsoft?

Did the retail emulator thing because why not, immediately played through Jedi Power Battles on Dreamcast and it was flawless. I was even able to use the game clipping feature to record clips of gameplay. I wonder if I can twitch stream it.

Highly recommend.

ok cool cos i dug through all the menus looking for it the other day but couldnt find anything.

also i wish games remembered that you have actually played them before and didnt run you through 500 tool tips.


I would seriously pay money for an option in games that lets you simply go straight from selecting the game on the Xbox UI to actually playing the game

FH4 and Destiny 2 both had annoying as gently caress cutscenes and menus and sub menus and poo poo when all I wanna do in those games is just dive in and start doing poo poo. I dont give a gently caress about the DLC I dont have, I dont give a gently caress about changing the skin on my Peter Dinklage bot, I dont give a gently caress about character emotes. just let me PLAY THE FUCKIN GAME.

for real fun i figured out by accident that if you have game pass and download any og xbox or 360 games from game pass and then end your game pass sub you still own the og and 360 games and you can download them to all your consoles as if you bought them from the store.

The Saturn is pretty rad. I have a couple of them in my garage and one of them has the memory card thing that lets you play import games. My brother got that thing when he worked at a video game store. I have pretty much everything ancient except a jaguar, turbografx, and lynx. Saturn and Dreamcast stand out to me a some of the best but Im slightly a sega fanboy. i should break it out and teach my kids to play virtual on.

I installed a MODE in my Saturn a few months ago and it's really cool. Got hundreds of Saturn games on an SD card and they look beautiful on a PVM. The MODE costs $200 but you could easily make that by selling a couple of decent Saturn games. That disc drive isn't gonna last forever anyway.

I hope I can play on the Xbox Retroarch:
Virtua Cop 1 & 2

Diehard Arcade
Clockwork Knight 1 & 2
Panzer Dragoon Saga

There are a bunch others I am sure I am missing. The system had a lot of great games.

Nothing in the world beats playing the original hardware on a PVM.
