I actually just started giving Outer Worlds another shot recently after I gave up super early on in my first play through. It's definitely much better with 60fps, but still pretty average. I wonder if that upgraded version will be on game pass.

it like, vaguely scratches the itch if you want another FNV-like game and it plays a lot of the right notes (like there being a ton of solutions to quests) but the whole thing just feels off, and weirdly joyless.

Truberbrook sounds interesting even though I have no idea what type of game it is.

Also Merge & Blade is on GP which I don't know anything about.

Yeah, I didn't really get into the exaggerated corporate misery theme park setting. It was passably fun, though getting to the end felt like an obligation.

Outer Wilds never held any appeal for me, after three starts I gave up.

Outer Worlds is basically a rough draft for an open-world RPG/immersive sim and not actually enough to make a full game with. Even with its relatively short length it ran out of steam quickly, though the outlines of some good ideas were there. I'm tentatively excited for TOW2 with a bigger budget/more resources.

I don't know if this is of interest to you, but there's a discount on the DLC for 4 and 5 going on for the next week, I think.

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.

This sounds dumb af, but I think it’s partially caused by people learning them as “greater than and less than”, but on a keyboard they’re laid out left-to-right as “less than and greater than”

And tbh if you don’t work with something that involves numbers, you probably don’t use them all that much

:laugh: What number of roads does it say in stats?

You should check the guide here https://www.trueachievements.com/a344791/ride-and-seek-achievement for some roads you might've missed and try the 0 brightness trick.

I actually found the achievement easier in this game as they made the roads driven a bit more visible than in previous games.

Oh I saw that but already bought it last week. Oh well.

And I found the road! It was a single dash of the dashed trail in the far north-east corner of the map.

Just now finding out that launching a GamePass game on PC is good for 50 points a day, a solid 10x the points you get on console.

Do you know if this dlc was included in the ultimate version or whatever? I bought the ultimate upgrade when it first dropped.

Do y'all know if xbox supports streaming privately to one person natively? I'm guessing not. If not, can you stream to a channel on discord?

It does not. A convoluted workaround if you didn't want to invest in a capture card is to use the Xbox -> Windows PC (or Xbox -> OneCast on macOS) streaming option and then capture that window with Discord.

Can't you just use the Xbox Twitch app to stream and only tell one person the URL?

Latency on twitch is pretty bad in my experience. I'm trying to replicate the share play functionality that Playstation has. That's pretty much straight peer to peer and as long as you've got good upload it's smooth as hell.

lol no mention of the alleged Starfield show coming before June. And if they're making a special Starfield show it won't be at their June show, so that sets Starfield's solo show somewhere in August/Sept. perhaps. Game for holidays? Or 2024.
