I've noticed if I have a game running in the background, my downloads will be capped around 50 Mbps, but if I quit the game completely my downloads speed up to 300-500

My first instinct if you've tried other network troubleshooting is that you might be connecting to a bad Microsoft Server, or something about to route to said Microsoft Server is hosed. It might not improve things the way you want and this is more for the sake of testing/troubleshooting, but can you connect your home network via VPN somehow to another part of the country (I'm assuming you're US, so if you're East Coast connect to a West Coast VPN, maybe try Canada as well) and see what impact that has on your network speeds? If you're in a small country then try a neighboring country (e.g. if you're in the UK try a VPN to France or Germany). If that looks to produce some level of improvement it might be worth doing some traceroute/packet sniffing to work out the path the connecting is taking. You might be able to figure out a workaround or someone to yell at that way. It could be worth trying different DNS providers (Google, Cloudflare etc.) to see if that has any effect too, I know you said you looked at stuff but it might be worth being more extensive about it.

Started talking with friends I do Extra Life with and I think we're going to try and do a multiplayer game where drivers are blindfolded and they have a partner watching their stream giving them directions. I'm not quite sure how to pull this off, but I figure I've got a few months to figure it out.

If you have DD-WRT installed there's a preset to give maximum priority specifically to Xbox Live connections.

I am going to be heading out of town for a while... what is it like playing my Xbox games on an Android tablet? Seems to be popular, but I am thinking touch controls will suck on games intended to be played with a controller. Or do you connect a controller to your android device somehow?

An Xbox controller will connect natively to any phone or tablet.

Bluetooth wasn't in the 2nd-generation controllers either, those just fixed the bad bumpers and added in the headphone jack. In fact I'm pretty sure the first-generation Xbox Elite controller doesn't either. Controllers have bluetooth if the plastic surrounding the Xbox Home button is the same piece of plastic (same color etc.) that covers most of the front of the controller (surrounding the sticks and face buttons).  In that picture, the bottom controller is a bluetooth-capable controller, the top one isn't.

Ryse is a weirdly adequate game that could have had a good sequel but instead got dustbinned super hard. Solid 7/10

The more I play Outriders the more I like it. If I can easily pick up between Steam/windows store and an xbox I’m in. Edit: the cutscenes seem to get better as the story goes on. This is definitely a generous demo. Nuts and Gum fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Mar 3, 2021 |

Does the “buy three years of Gold and then convert to Game Pass Ultimate for $1” trick still work? If not, what’s the cheapest way to get as much GPU as possible if you haven’t signed up for it before?

See what I did there? It could be practically anything. RYSE: cyberpunk 2077, RYSE: Dragon Riders of Berk, RYSE: Combat Evolved, RYSE: Risky's Revenge What it definitely doesn't sound like is a game about ancient Rome. Which is definitely why they had to put a clarifier behind a colon. It feels like they have zero confidence in the game's premise, and the juxtaposition of the misspelling of "ryse" with "son of rome" is particularly jarring. Like even if the game had been called Rise: Son of Rome, or Rise, Son of Rome, it would be a massive improvement in branding. I mean, MS put like zero advertising behind the game so it's obvious that nobody had any confidence in it, but Jesus talk about how to not roll out a game that even the title's a loving head scratcher.

Spelling Ryse with a Y was probably a sort of a callback/allusion to Crysis. Ryse was a Crytek game too.

The brown/yellow filter was hideous but they had this one single demolition derby track and pretty much every single online lobby was just people playing that over and over because it was so entertaining. I can't believe that after how popular it was that Codemasters didn't lean into making a game based on the whole concept because people were playing that one single track online for years. I remember playing Destruction Derby 2 and this one track having these raised sections before a huge jump so your car didn't just get launched but took flight at an angle and would corkscrew through the air which was hilarious fun because all the AI racers and you would just be tumbling down in wrecks at the bottom and carrying on with your cars busted to get round again and do it once more. A demolition derby game that made more unrealistic and fun tracks like that to play with the physics would be such a blast.

NBA 2K21 coming to Game Pass tomorrow, but I'm guessing it will be the standard One version, which is a shame. Apparently the Series version is pretty impressive visually.
