Kinda wish they'd put a Souls game on there. I had a bad experience with Demon Souls but I'm willing to give the series another whirl since it's been like... 11? Years.

you could buy 1 or 2 on sale for 10 bucks next time they go on sale, which is very often

Maybe try doing a basic treasure hunt to get used to the gameplay. After spawning at an Outpost (place with all the vendors) you need to:

- Go to Gold Hoarder (the man in the little green tent) and buy a quest from him.
- Then go to your Sloop and put the quest down on the quest table in the captain's cabin and vote to start it.
- Now check what maps/clues the quest have given you in the radial menu and use the map on your ship to figure out where to go.
- Raise anchor, lower sails and navigate with ship's map & compass to the target island.
- Drop anchor near target island, use quest map/clues, compass and shovel to get to the treasure.
- Sail back to Outpost and sell chest to Gold Hoarder for $.

I could hear a teen on the mic say "im going to suicide" then he crashed our boat and killed me. I don't have a mic myself OP.

in general, performance = 60fps 1080p, quality = 30fps 4K

I don't have a 4k monitor and also I hate 30fps when I'm sitting that close anyway. I wish I could have games turn on the RTX and poo poo in 60fps 1080p lol. Call it gamer mode.

I don't really notice it too bad in most games. But Arceus did feel very janky for the first couple hours especially after playing a lot of Xbox.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
Been playing Elden Ring on my series S on quality mode on an LG C1 (so VRR) and it's very playable imo at the 30-35 fps it gets. Performance mode is also fine but looked a little muddy so I went quality.

Having a good time except for the fact I keep absolutely getting wrecked lol. First souls game over here. It is fun though and feels REALLY GOOD when I can actually kill a guy.

I kind of want MS to do an xbox vr headset but I’m kind of convinced that it would also be a dumb idea. They’ll let Sony smash themselves on that rock of consumer ambivalence.

I have a HP windows VR headset and it’s cool but microsoft really abandoned its VR because the whole thing hasn’t been updated in forever.

tbh I don’t want them wasting any resources or focus on Vr, they’re so far behind at this stage and the stink of the Kinect poisoned the Xbox brand for a decade

Also very true. Maybe hololens tho! Building minecraft castles on a coffee table does look kinda fun. Probably anything reasonable is a good decade or two out though.

I wrote a big screed/rant in the VR thread about Quest being the only practical road for Microsoft to support VR on the Xbox, being a near-perfect technical fit and mutually beneficial for both parties as their respective software libraries are largely complementary. Still, unlikely.

You can chat with people but for some hosed up reason you can’t record your voice on the Xbox recording thing

I ended up buying a Series X to upgrade from an X1X. Is there a clear best option right now for trade in of the old hardware, or is private sale on Craigslist (or whatever) the only real path?

I never really played the X360 Forza Horizon I had, and used a friend's FH3 disc to drive cars on my X and holy poo poo the unskippable cutscenes and please stop talking.

It's very pretty though, even if it's just a bone game.

You can.

I mean, it won't do anything, but you can plug into the HDMI and USB ports and pretend.
