At some point Larian really needs to stop patching the game because every time they do they unleash a worse and somehow stupider bug. Maybe just leave a few harmless bugs in and call it good, game rules, have a break.

I need a text based walkthough for the bg3 inventory system, it's worse than starfields

There is no way BG3 has a worse inventory than Starfield, which is a garbage mess with inconsistent inputs that often leads to doing one thing when you mean to do another. I am going to assume that you missed some crucial tutorial popups, because they explain pretty much everything about the inventory system. I think there are some recent posts in the BG3 thread talking about tips and tricks for controller interface, and the thread has been a bit more strict on spoilers lately because of new Xbox players, so I'd start there if you're looking for help

Rocket League by a lot, but I idle a ton with RL. Sea of Thieves second most, low idle there so fully legit. Elden Ring in third with about a third of the hours of SoT on it.

What's everyone's issue with Starfield's inventory? Seemed fine to me.

It never, ever ends and it isn't sleek enough to justify the absolutely incredible amount of loot it throws at you.

On PC they already have the StarUI UI overhaul mod like Skyrim and Oblivion got. Doesn't help Xbox users, but if you're on PC it greatly improves it.

Finding BG3 pretty awesome on controller. The inventory isn't hard at all. But I have been playing it on PC. Still, everything seems pretty clearly labeled.

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.

One colossal long list with way too much scrolling.
Most of the screen is taken up with a 3D model of what's selected - cool, but not useful.
No filters - I have dozens of "Aid" items, but I can't filter down to what cures frostbite, so I have to scroll through dozens of items to find one.
Sort by weight only sorts by item weight, not total weight. So if you're carrying 30 x 0.5 weight items, those will show miles down the list
Can't search

They just took their basic inventory system and went with it.

I wonder why BGS avoids using stuff modders have come up over the couple of decades out of pride or fear of having to pay someone something.

I just scored the Remix controller and it's neat.
I didn't realize it came with its own rechargeable battery pack which like the rest of it is made of recycled plastic.
Worth the extra $ even though I paid $50 for it.

I picked up a used 360 for free. However its family locked. I tried all the passcode combos of just 4x the same button and no luck. I also tried a bunch of a button combos in the system info screen but none of those worked either. If I'm not able to remove this lock what functionality am I going to miss out on?

edit: how can I even check which parental restrictions are turned on?

I grabbed it off Mercari. The seller mentioned having another controller to list but does not appear to have done so.

Not to hijack, but to piggyback, I have an Xbox One which will not allow me to remove Family Restrictions. Accurate passcode, same email password I use every single day.

Family passwords can be reset on the website. You need to register your device here (https://account.microsoft.com/devices) then you can reset the password from there.

Appears to apply to the 360, One and Series all the same.

Yeah I had to do that when I got a used 360 last year as well, it's annoying but also nice that there's a way to properly reset the console to remove it.

Jun 22, 2004

Just going to remain patient and wait for MW3 to be on Game Pass. I've been playing through the story campaigns of the older games recently, and have started to realize that I honestly do not like Call of Duty anymore. The formula is no longer fun or interesting. The multiplayer I guess is still good, but I don't have the reflexes because I am an old. I wish I could just play with other players against AI bots and rank up and level up the season passes that way (Overwatch 2 lets you do this even), but Activision insists you only play in very specific ways that are not necessarily fun to a lot of people.

Can't seem to find a manual for the 360E online. The 360E has a 3.5mm jack that supports composite video and stereo audio. Just wondering if this jack could also support regular stereo audio line out with a standard 3.5mm stereo audio cable. Also if its toslink optical compatible.

I'm not 100% sure but I THINK it will work as a standard headphone jack but it's not one of those weird 3.5mm jacks with embedded optical/toslink (if you wanted to be sure you could see if red light shines out of it in a dark room).
