Let's get drunk and kiss each other all night.
Yah it was fun for a short burst altho I can’t seem to block/counter for the life of me.

Also in Death Stranding gently caress those MULE dudes! Even more annoying than the BTs.

I realized the mission where I have to jack something from their mailbox would be a lot easier if I didn’t also have packages on me because I think they ignore you if you are packageless.

Update: works. And it unlocked a bunch of special modes which I don't know anything about (speed run, boss something) but it works.

Every time I go to Target I do a casual check to see if they have Series X's or PS5s. Today they had the Series X Fridge in the series x spot and after having a minor freak out I still almost bought the thing.

The extra modes were a free update to the game a while back I think.

Other than Turtles/Overcooked, what are some good 4-player Game Pass couch games? Not necessarily co-op, but kid friendly?

Viva Pinata if they're old enough to help you plan your Pinata Garden/willing to play pass the controller. Is Streets of Rage still on there? That one was a blast. Fuzion Frenzy if they don't mind old graphics.

Maybe you can introduce her to DOOM by showing her some of the crossover art? That way she at least might let you have a shot at playing.

There's some kind of an Xbox show about to start from Gamescom.

Is there a USB dongle I can buy to get a 8BitDo Pro 2 working on a Series S?

Not officially because control devices need a security chip and thus need to be licensed by Microsoft. That said, there used to be a dongle that can spoof the security that is probably still available somewhere.

EDIT: Looks like it's Cronus and some of the knock offs.

Lower the price to 250/450, Microsoft. This is literally the best moment. You’re being handed the generation on the plate.

Obviously they need to go the route of 2000s cell phone providers and give the consoles away for free with 5 year Gamepass contract.

On the other side from the knockoff controllers, I was looking for a wireless dongle for my PC because I wanted to use the newer controllers (I have a 360 era dongle) and even bought an elite 2, but they're impossible to find. However Amazon is chock full of extremely sketchy knockoffs which I think are actually just bluetooth dongles with xbox stamped on the side, lol.

Ended up getting a controller + dongle combo, and it works great.

On PC it's wide open and yeah, as soon as they added bluetooth to Xbox controllers, manufacturers just stamped that logo on every cheap BT dongle they have made for years and called it an Xbox dongle.

On console it is locked down, so BT dongle can only be used for headsets. You either need a licensed wireless device or a hack.

It's pretty shady, I'm fairly tech savvy and I *almost* bought one of those before going "waitaminit*. Amazon will even allow vendors to have a picture of the official one and people report getting the BT only one. I already have BT on my pc I just wanted the dongle for better latency for my ~high speed gaming~ (I am going to try to become a controller FPS guy even if it kills me!!)

I got the fridge but will return it. I never thought I’d say this but it’s an Xbox that’s too small. Then again, lack of internal storage is par for the course…

According to the Xbox store's top paid game list, Saint's Row is the #4 selling game on Xbox(Madden X1, Madden SXS, GTAV, and Far Cry 6 ahead of it.). Soul Hackers 2 is just under three hours old at this point, but it will be interesting to see where it places tomorrow.

Microsoft is also refurbishing returned ones and selling those fairly cheap. That's how I got mine. All I'm saying is, keep an eye on the Microsoft store too.
