Kwolok posted:I'm interested in picking up an Xbox series 2 elite core controller, but I've heard a lot about quality issues, specifically with the buttons. Is this still the case? Despite Microsoft saying something about “re-engineered parts” when the Core was released, teardowns have shown that all the internal components are exactly the same. The only difference is the white shell and lack of attachments (and you need to at least buy some paddles to make it worth using IMO). Personally I haven’t had any of the bumper or face button issues others have had, but my thumb sticks keep developing stick drift/centering problems. I’m currently awaiting my second replacement and crossing my fingers that it works. The Elite Series 2 is my favorite controller I’ve ever used, but if it fails again I’d rather try a SCUF Instinct than roll the dice some more.

I totally unironically want that controller. I’ve spent the last decade getting my kids from infancy to functionality and Bluey is 10,000,000x better than loving Caillou that my (now 11-year old) oldest and even Paw Patrol (now 8-year-old) youngest loved as little ones.

There's a decent number of contest XSX. Whoever is trying to collect all the variants is going to have a time with all the short run exclusives.

I've never seen it but it appears to win the coveted award of "a show for small children that doesn't make parents want to loving die" so it is largely beloved. But it's not just "tolerable" for adults. It's *really good* and strikes a really strong chord of authenticity for the parents and the jokes land exceptionally well. That's why parent's like it so much. The adults will cry more than the kids every time. And the two kids acting is exceptionally well done (also the identities of the kids are kept secret to protect their privacy and allow them to be kids). If anyone ever does check it out, definitely try to watch it on D+ or something that's not network TV. Each episode is 7 minutes long and the ending "cut to credits" beat is meticulously crafted and hits just right. But network TV CHOPS IT OFF (or alters it somehow to speed up moving to another episode which ruins the effect).

External Organs posted:Am I missing anything if I never played a dragon age game? So this is going to sound lol but honestly if you want to play a Dragon Age game just wait for BG3, which does everything the best DA games do but miles better. DA:O is the best of the lot and it's like fine if you like Bioware games but the big thing it had going for it was that it was the closest to a Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale style game out for a long time.

DA: O is also a much better game on PC, unfortunately. In a just world they'd have brought the PC version to Bone as a remaster, but that didn't happen.

This is how you do a trailer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SflsUI2-Qm0 Guess I've found my next purchase! Game looks awesome, has anyone tried it yet? edit: just read that it has no invert Y option, which makes it unplayable until they fix this. Pretty lazy. edit 2: Bought Hogwarts Legacy instead.

I remember going to the movie at the midnight release and they had gone into a cave and then I woke up and the movie was ending and I was like “oh what the gently caress”. Too old for 2+ hour midnight movies. otter fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Nov 18, 2023 |
