I know your whole gimmick is just trolling this thread but the DS4's micro-usb problems are extremely well documented lol. You could have chosen literally any other point to call him out on.

Honestly I’ve had less issues with USB-C then with Lightning cables. I just like the way it fits better. That pocket lint can be a huge PITA.


Lightning is really bad with that if you have kids.

USB-C is not going to be any better for pocket lint on phones, at least.

its definitely nicer than micro-USB but they can still fail. I've had plenty of lightning cables fail (all apple ones, fraying right at the connector) but never a port stop working and I manage a fleet of 500 iphones at work, some as old as the 5S.

I havent had a USB-C fail either but I have like 4 devices that use those and they are all less than a year old.

I've taken apart 3 ps4 controllers and they are probs the worst constructed controllers I've ever repaired(and I've done this a lot). I'm amazed they work at all.

The series controllers are a little bit too small for my hands and uncomfortable. This generation is going to be the first one ever where the Sony controllers fit my hands better.

I have big hands and was going to pick up a Series controller on sale during BF/Cyber Monday for $39 but I kept reading it's a fair bit smaller than the Xbox One controllers which are like a perfect fit for me so I held off. The Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers are like the perfect gaming pads imo. I still have a coupled wired 360 controllers I use for my PC.

I'm pretty sure they're the exact same size, the material texture just makes it feel different in the hand. The grips are a tiny bit smaller but I don't think perceivably so.

Hmm, weird how many posts I read saying it was significantly smaller elsewhere online and not as good for people with big hands compared to the Xbox One controller. I'll pick one up the next time they go on sale again to see for myself.

[edit] I guess for reference of how big my hands are, I can palm a regulation size basketball no problem.

Microsoft says that it's smaller, and I tried to photograph a difference and kept picking them up and feeling. The difference is so small that it's not visible and I had a hard time measuring it with measuring tape, but I can feel it.

I do feel like a lunatic about this.

is there any place I can read/watch a review of Cyberpunk 2077 on Series X that focuses mostly on the performance of the game with some non-spoiler gameplay videos?


e: all I have watched from the game was the 30min gameplay trailer introducing Johnny Silver and then the 20min gameplay trailer from a few months ago so I really, really, really want to avoid any and all spoilers/hype related content.

You'd probably have to wait for the DF video whenever that drops. Hopefully by Friday. I'm really interested in it too seeing as how the early reports are that it's atrocious on the base lastgen consoles.

Battery chat: I bought a beefy as gently caress Anker power bank when the Switch came out. Rather than plug my DS4 into the PS4 when it died, I plugged it into the power bank. Was super convenient and I didn't have to be tied to a console or wall.

I'm pretty glad I don't need to use a DS4 again.

I just want to know if it looks even remotely similar to the original gameplay video they showed (saving the woman in the bath from the apartment, and showing the building you live in) because that moment when they step outside and the world is full of NPCs and it actually looks like a real city was phenomenal. Everything I've seen since has shown a drastic reduction in people that populate the city to the point of it looking really weird now.

I'm guessing it got a major downgrade like Witcher 3 but given all the news of how much crunch the devs have put in and how poorly they've been treated I don't know why CDPR didn't just ditch the old gen versions of the game and focus on the Series X & PS5 versions so it could actually look exactly like that early "gameplay" footage that we saw. They've pushed the game out after the new console generation already started so it's just pointless, should have given it an extra year or two so devs could not suffer and the game could be what they originally showed - maybe even better.

I'd say the scale and height of the buildings look like a real city but the graphics are definitely downgraded and the npcs barely talk or do stuff.

Also I have this annoying glitch where UI elements stay stuck on the screen

if they are on the same console it should work fine.

theres probably some complexity to the whole home console thing that I have no experience with as a person with 1 account and 1 xbox.

When I finally got a HDR display I was so excited to see what I'd been missing, but all I played at the time was Destiny so I excitedly turned that on and it looked like absolute poo poo and I assumed I just had a bad display for months after.

No, Destiny's HDR just sucks poo poo apparently.

Just set your console as the DLC-having account's home Xbox and you should have access to it from the other account too, I think.

Can't move saves between accounts.

In case I misunderstood the circumstances you can just do the same for all the accounts involved; one Xbox can be home for multiple accounts anyway. Then play using the account with the save.

Oh well! I'm sure Halo Infinite will be the best Halo game ever made. Latest screenshots that were released yesterday look very nice, let's hope that these are not just throwaway renders. The multiplayer will also be free to play.

Got it this answers the question yeah.

A friend bought me Forza 4 with DLC and I redeemed it on the wrong account. I can add that account but I'll have to start over with my Forza save to play with the DLC sounds like? Or I can try and see if having the DLC on the xbox gives it to all accounts, which I'll try first. My main account was playing on gamepass version
