My complaints about The Show aside, it's been a fun experience and wild to me that it's day one game pass. Also when I saw they had the audio for this particular name I knew what I had to do:

teagone posted:Played another hour-ish of FF7 today, the charm is resilient and hasn't let up so far. Fun game! Still trying to figure out the materia system with what little materia I have. As an aside, having watched an FF7 Remake stream playthrough from start to finish last year, it's kind of crazy to me how fast I feel like the original game moves along the story in comparison lol. The bit where Tifa is on her way to Don Corneo/Wall Market in the Remake did not happen as fast as it does in the original it feels like lol. I was like, "drat, I'm already at this point in Remake's story?" I also realize Remake is only a chunk of the original story, but still, being able to have a frame of reference to compare to is fun and interesting. I really like the remake, but it added a ton of stuff for better or worse (especially its dogshit ending). Midgar makes up maybe 10% of FF7, so if you’re digging the story and gameplay so far, you’ll likely love it all the way through. I played 8 before 7 and it had realisticish character models, and it was a little hard to swallow the FF7 sprites at first. It’s a good enough game that that wore off, though.

The blocky rear end character models is part of the charm for me; makes the animations look hilarious and cute. Turn-based combat is also a nice refresher/chill break after having spent nearly a decade playing Guild Wars 2 and cinematic single player actioners like the Tomb Raider reboot series, and more recently Nier Automata and Jedi Fallen Order.

I just moved into a new house. Went to turn the ol Xbox One on, and nothing. If I only plug the power supply into the wall I get an orange light on the power supply. The internet tells me that’s not great! When I try to connect it to the Xbox itself, the power supply light goes out. Is my power supply bad, or is my Xbox finally borked? It’s 7 years old, so it’s not the end of the world.

Series S is now $100 off at big W (like Walmart) eBay store in Australia. No stock shortages for that one here. As for the show 21, I've played dozens of games previous years but still said "what the gently caress" and turned it off during the controls tutorial.

If you know someone with a Bone, can you use your supply with their console (or their supply with your console)?

Had the same issue when I reinstalled a few weeks back for the hell of it, unfortunately even during prime time there’s simply not enough aussies playing it anymore to get a match going. Give co-op a go, iirc the server only needs like 4 or so people to start.

Using the music store to redownload my purchased tracks is better than digging through all of my purchased content in my account section on the 360, but I didn't realize it would haunt me with the many excellent songs that I never purchased before moving onto rock band 3 and 4. What a coup that literally every piece of content minus a few on disc songs and two games with stingy licensing agreements all got to come forward with you, glad Harmonix was able to make it happen.

So if I understand correctly the only way to actually play One and Series games is to have them installed on the SSD or the official external SSD. But I can hook up a non-propriety external drive to hold excess data and I can transfer the games over?

One games, 360 games, and OG Box can run off any ol external assuming you're not somehow hooking it up to some 1980s IBM mainframe. Series games need to be on the internal drive to run

FF7 is a 70 hour game (this was an old rpg metric), and there’s so much stuff that the remake never touched on. I’m actually pumped to see you make it to other cool stuff lol.

You can run xbox + 360 + xbone games from an external volume. You can store series games externally too but you need to transfer them back to the SSD in order to actually launch them.

FF7 is like 30-40 hours to beat. Unless you love rubbing up on NPCs or grinding side stuff theres no way you're gonna hit anywhere close to 70 hours.

I dunno. my A40s sound the same plugged in or not and i hear myself fine. if I make the Mic clip by screaming, i can hear some feedback of my own voice, but certainly dont feel like im talking under water with them on. it was a huge complaint of the A50s when they first released a few years back, and seems to be a complain with more closed back headsets than anything else.
