So I'm baffled... I just got a new computer and tried to log in to my Game Pass on it and it's already logged in with some random account and asks if I want to get Game Pass. It won't let me log out of it. Already uninstalled and reinstalled.

Any ideas?

Is that account the owner of Windows 10? Is it logged into the Microsoft Store app?

When you booted up windows 10 you likely made a microsoft account instead of a local one (because that's what it asks you to do - getting it to make a local admin instead is a chore). You need to either associate your windows account to the one on your comp and then delete the account associated with it, or make another account, associate your MS account with that one, and then give it admin permissions and delete the original.

Gotcha. Thanks. I guess I'm not going to have game pass on this comp! That's ridiculous.

Why is my AC Valhalla saying that it's updating 0MB of 112.92GB. Did my xbox uninstall the game? It's now installing from scratch again.

Hmm it seems like you only read the first part of the post that describes the problem and not the second part that offers multiple solutions. Then again I guess reading isn't your forte with how you ended up in this situation to begin with.

I'd assume so, yes. I mean it runs fine, but with the X-enhanced patch Asylum is weirdly locked at 45 fps, while City is 30 fps. And the Xbone/PS4 remaster changed the overall look for worse from the originals IMO; some characters have weird faces and the lighting is often pointlessly dark or harsh.

So I'd recommend playing them on PC instead, if you can.

Good life is exactly the kind of game I will play day 1 on gamepass that I was not sure whether I was going to buy or not
Katana Zero is good and short I think anyone should play it. Yes it's a 2D indie pixel game and gamepass has loads of those but this is definitely one of the better ones

Good Life is my monthly "I would never pay money for this but fine, Gamepass, fine" game, even if it probably doesn't end with you pushing a human being into a meat processing plant to make dog food.

Far Cry games are my jam. I don't care that they have a deadly serious plot alongside ridiculous things like diabetic bear companions and whatnot. They're fun.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I watched the Skillup guy review and had a sensible chuckle at “You have already played Far Cry 6.”

From what Giant bomb said on the podcast yesterday, 6 seems more aware of itself than 5 and is more about blowing poo poo up than a "Deep thought provoking story"

Also apparently there's a gator friend who is cool so I'm down.

Didn’t have much say in the matter. What I really wanted to happen was go in with another friend (another employee) and buy it ourselves. But obviously even then didn’t have the money to do so.

The correct person to blame is Louis Castle.
I was young and naive at the time. Castle is a prick and used company funds to renovate his own property.

you can tell from how many of certain publishers' games come to Game Pass that they have an overall Game Pass deal of some kind with MS. it's not an ironclad rule, but if a game is published by, say, Bandai Namco or Devolver, there's a very good chance it'll come to GP if you're patient

HumbleGames has been putting a ton of their stuff on GP lately but I think most of it has been day one.

That's also why I'm holding off on Death's Door because that screams Game Pass in 6 months.
