Initially they sent me an email saying “delivery by Friday” that got updated to “delivery by Dec 22”. Thankfully that one appeared to be a mess up.

I missed out on the first round of these, tried a bunch of places. The closest I got was getting one in my cart at Walmart, but they were out of stock by the time I updated my credit card info. I went back the other day for something else (Mario Kart 8 on Switch deal, IIRC), and noticed the controller was still in my cart. Tried checking out again on a whim, not expecting it to work, and it totally did. It arrived a day or two ago. I can't believe my luck, or that Walmart, of all places, came through for me.

Nice score! I like the transparent cover.

Thinkin about getting another controller with xtra buttons, since it would be super helpful in MSFS2020.

Also, to anyone who plays that, the flytampa Las Vegas scenery pack is worth it.

The city looks alive. The signs are animated, so is the bellagio fountain show, the lights on the luxor pyramid, etc.

Seeing Criss Angels six pack blown up on a 20 story hotel is worth the price of admission.

Easily my favorite controller at this point. I love the rubber grip texture.

Edit: my local bestbuy has them in stock if goons need. I can pick up and mail etc.

I sucked with the thief too. I tried a poison build but a bunch of enemies are strong vs poison.

My one try with the witch was a success… there is a 2 dice lightning spell that combines both values for damage + 2x shock when placed in an upgraded spell book slot. That carried me. Other slots were for the freeze spell which is also what I relied on until I got to the point where I picked up lightning.

My strategy with thief was to turn into a bear and upgrade the claw attacks.

Plus you can plug a wireless keyboard into the xbox. Though I genuinely wouldn't mind a smaller controller sized keyboard and relive the slide-up phone days.

I knew 2 separate weirdos back in the PS2 days who would play FF11 all day with those hilarious fat ps2 controllers with the lovely phone keyboard in the middle.

I got my thief win with poison and just dealt with the poison resists. The detonator card that does damage based on stacks of poison was key. He still seems weak though. I don’t really like the robot either… his cards don’t seem good enough to make up for the downside, though I won with him too.

I did the first warrior challenge (cursed) easily because the warrior is generically very good, but the 2nd one (lose hp on lvl up) seems so much harder. Need to go heavy on armor probably.

The robot in dicey dungeon is basically can you survive to level up to get the car where when you "bust" you can still make an attack. Honestly their gear is really good, their starting stuff is just needlessly bad.

I won using that card too… seems kind of telling when his best card lets him ignore his core mechanic!

If you get the the abilities that power up based on how many rolls you make + the abilities that let you roll more his core gimmick gets really fun and can run over everything. Its just funny that jackpotting is basically meaningless for an effective strategy for the robot.

So I guess I bought a series X. One thing I am wondering. Does Xbox still have that crap where you can't use normal wireless headphones and have to buy the special "xbox version" of it or can I use the headphones I use with all of my other devices on the series X? it has both dongle and bluetooth support if that makes a difference.

drat. I don't get why Xbox can't just support the heapdhones that every other thing does :sigh: Guess I'm digging out my old ones and plugging them into the controller.

Just looking at gamepass now for the first time in like 5 years and Jesus, it's wild how much stuff is on there. So many 'wait for a sale" games I've had on the backburner I can just play for a monthly cost now.

is the Halo campaign going to be on gamepass when it launches? E: i guess I could have just googled that in 2 seconds and the answer is yes, lol.

the best part is that i dont think i've paid retail for any of them.
Some are assigned to family members so my kids have auto sign on with their own controllers, as do myself and the mrs.
one is paired to my ipad
modding controllers /padhacking to make arcade sticks is kinda fun
the duke is the poo poo, suck it smallhanders
sometimes you just want to use a different controller.
Im still getting a forza one when it comes back in stock.
