S seems like would be a good second box for the kids. Can you have game pass going on two xboxes simultaneously? They need a family option imo.

90% of my gaming in the last three or four years was on the Switch so the Xbox Small might as well be a supercomputer

You got it!

I like playing all 3 Elder Scrolls simultaneously, they are truly the baddest games on there right now. When Starfield comes out later this year, it will rule game pass for all eternity.

They do need that, yeah. I think you can accomplish this by logging your account with the subscription into the series S and setting it as your home console. Something like that. Should let you have your digital library and game pass access across both consoles.

Edit: the only bad thing about TES games is the bullshit way they're organized in your library. Drives me up the loving wall.

Your the worst.


Good stuff on both pc/xbox:

Resident Evil 7
Top-of the line and over the top survival horror starring Louisiana incest fam as baddies.

Tell Me Why
One of these talkie/adventure games in vein of Life is Strange. One of the better ones with a Transman protag (woo, representation)

Crackdown 3 (aka. Terry Crews the game)
Theoretically you could pick any of the dozen other characters, but why would you? TERRY CREWS IS SHOUTING AND OVERACTING!!!
Sandboxy supersoldier shootergame. Not Triple-A quality, but Triple-A fun. Take down bases, bosses and use cool toys.

Anyway I still haven't finished it but I really enjoyed the first couple hours of Deedlit, incredibly pretty metroidvania by a company that basically only makes those. If you played the Touhou metroidvania it's honestly basically the same game, mechanically, but looks 1000x times better. The sprite animation for Deedlit is nuts.

I'd recommend giving Control a play before it leaves Game Pass if you haven't already. Evil Within 1/2 are also really good if you like survival horror. I've heard Prey is really good but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

Yeah you set the xbox with gamepass as the "home" xbox and link the other one. I forget how it works because I linked mine to a friend's years ago but you can share games and gamepass that way to one other system.

Old Town Road to EGOT

Why does the Xbox app for Windows sometimes properly display my/my friends' activity and my profile and games I've played recently but sometimes not? I've gone to Task Manager and ended the task and reopened it but it's still not showing up properly.

Does the app just suck poo poo or what?

It should, yeah. You can stack up to 3 years, if you can manage that. Looks like Newegg has them on sale for 50 bucks a pop if you use the code EMCBPAA35, so 150 plus the month of GPU.

And Deedlit was rad.

The conversion (triggered by buying a month of Ultimate) is going to cost $15 instead of $1 for you, since your previous membership was so recent. But yes, it still works.

You set the console you're not going to be logged into as your home Xbox, then it gets all your stuff no matter who's on there.

Doing the game sharing like that can be a pain in the rear end when there are server issues though, think it'll keep you from playing games you own digitally on your not home console.

Finally giving Psychonauts 2 a try, it’s pretty drat good! I don’t usually like 3d platformers but just set it to invincible so I don’t have to worry about having to replay stuff I suck at and the exploring and story are really fun.
