Trying to buy some stuff. Is Microsoft’s 2FA hosed up for anyone else? They text me a code, I enter that code (pasting from the text message, so I’m not typoing it), and they say that the code they just loving sent me is wrong. Over and over.

I was able to do it today :shrug:

I'm assuming that if you didn't purchase the second campaign for CrossfireX (Operation Spectre) before the shutdown announcement that now there's no way to play it?

There wont be after the game shuts down either. The single player requires the online to work.

Hey CrossfireX's campaign was made by Remedy so I had at least some passing interest.

I too had passing interest, and then I played it and the interest passed.

Edit: Actually, that might not be true. I installed the game and at the time the single player with Game Pass was broken? and I'm not sure I ever played it when it got fixed because the multiplayer game it was attached to was dire.

It really rocks. I definitely need to figure out where they hell to get the tools like fibre wire tho, or do you gotta just buy em.

In-game you can buy a collector's edition fiber wire that goes on your wall, but it's a lot cheaper to walk into medbay and pick up the stethoscope next to the hospital bed. It's just a cosmetic variant of the ol' piano wire like the earbuds you can pick in caches.

Age of Empires is just great. Been a while since a game hooked me like this.

Don't think I'll attempt multiplayer though, but the single-player is fun stuff.

If you're enjoying it, do give the multiplayer a try. Try a couple 1v1v1v1 games on small/medium maps against the CPUs, then switch over to ranked online so you get matched against other newer players. The CPU is fine, but it's easy to get used to how it plays and you'll just end up having the same game over and over, unlike playing against people.

Protip for the lower ranks: try to have a small army (~6 dudes) go disrupt the other guy's economy around the time you all hit Feudal age (10:00-15:00 on the in-game timer). If you can kill one or two of their villagers, or at least get them to ring the bell and wait it out, then their economy will be on the back foot compared to yours for the rest of the game. Keep up the pressure and you'll win around the start of Castle age. Further up the ranks everyone will be expecting this, and/or try it on you, so you'll need other strategies by then, but you'll know at that point if you're enjoying it or not.

I always wear my wedding ring. It's my trademark.

Multiplayer would stress me out. I kinda like having slow and easy games where I just build stuff and make a pretty kingdom. Sometimes I create some raiding parties and do some light warring to add some variation. I don't even care about winning or losing.

If I'd do multiplayer, I'd be on edge constantly. Therefore ruining these chill vibes.

Yesterday when I went onto the Xbox it came up with a thing about how it had automatically changed my settings so it shut down when I turned it off instead of just going to sleep, I was gonna change it back but it was being weirdly shame-y about how it will use 10 watts instead of 0!!!!! so I thought gently caress it Quick Resume will make it not so bad

Turned Xbox on today and go to reopen PowerWash and oh no it has to close the game because of some save data error

Microsoft are just……so, so, so bad at having the things they make and do actually work

I’m guessing quick resume likely needs dev buy in and extra effort to make it work like it should. But really anything that’s not multi should ‘just work’ so it’s frustrating when it doesn’t.

Ooh yeah I found some earbuds in one playthru and strangled a target with it but they didn’t have rarity so couldn’t extract with them.

Speaking of quick resume it's been kicking major rear end for me with the new hitman mode. You can just turn off your machine mid mission and not worry about failing the campaign. Done it multiple times now.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Elden Ring never really worked for me with Quick Resume, and Red Dead 2 it was maybe 50% of the time.

In summary the Xbox is a land of contrasts

Elden ring works fine as long as you are playing in offline mode. Never had an issue with Red Dead.
