just seen that you can connect the headset to your xbox and your phone at the same time so you can listen to music or whatever plus game audio? great feature

On PS4 (and I assume PS5) you could do that with Spotify installed on the console. Does the Xbox not allow this?

Probably more for corporate MS, but maybe they’d integrate it into the Xbox Live network

Will Teams be rolled into Discord or the other way round?

Back when I played it on the 360, I got to the part just before the final boss where you are sailing around in a lake or ocean, I forget.

I just took a peek at the achievements I got and noticed they're all in Japanese. wtf

Speaking of which, I'm playing Halo CE Anniversary via the MCC for the first time and am I ever glad that's not my first experience with that game. I loved the mystery of the Halo ring when I first played it back in 2001 and the CE Anniversary edition straight up shows you the forerunners and 343 guilty spark in a video terminal shortly after you first get the warthog. I'm assuming the flood get introduced in a terminal before you get to the swamp level too.

Looking forward to playing Just Cause. It's my kind of stupid video game fun, but just a little too stupid to directly pay money for.

It's not very good to be honest. I played it for free via PS Plus and still felt cheated.

So I’m trying to play a game with all the audio coming through headphones plugged into my controller. However, even though I have headphones plugged in, the audio is still coming through my speakers.

Is there a step I’m missing? Or is it not like the Playstation where it automatically switches all audio to headphones? Do I really have to set “Speaker audio” to “off” under the audio settings?

Yeah it sucks and I did that for awhile until I figured out an easy workaround, which was hitting mute on my soundbar/tv remote.

Ah, thanks for that — lowering the volume of my receiver to 0 does the trick (muting leaves a symbol on my screen).

I hope a firmware update for the controller and/or console makes that automatic someday.

The PS4 also automatically routed all audio to your headphones the moment you plugged headphones into the DualShock. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

'why doesnt the xbox turn off the output to the TV and how do i make it do that I cant play games with headphones AND TV speakers on at the same time!' I scream as i completely forget about the volume control of the speakers in question

I see you never owned a PS4 or PS5, which switch the audio automatically -- something I'd expect from a modern console like the Xbox Series X

No you don't. I have an XSX and an LG CX and a Denon receiver from 2010. Just use ARC or optical out from your TV to the receiver, and use the other HDMI inputs on the TV for your content.

As long as you don't have like 5 HDMI sources and need to use the receiver as a switch you can just bypass it entirely.

I have a PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch, and Apple TV that I all use regularly. :v:

Smart TVs have banner ads and spy on you. And are horribly slow.

Pretty sure someone spoiler tagged the plot synopsis as well which said anime meltdown poster either ignored or bitches about too.

I keep hoping, waiting, wishing for a complete Marathon Trilogy remake from Bungie, but that Destiny money is too good for them... :negative:

I just got through the first Dishonored yesterday, and holy gently caress 2 is way harder. I play stealth too and you get detected much easier on this one.

Yeah, they seem to have super sight sometimes. I even things out by using my magic powers all the time. Once I was able to do things like chain sleep dart effects onto multiple enemies it got way easier. :newlol:

I’m currently doing the Clockwork Mansion mission. I’ve heard that is a really good one so I’m quite excited.

I get that enemy NPCs in Dishonored 2 will constantly say things to let you know they are in the vicinity.

But I am trying to listen to a plot or lore-relevant audiolog only to have it overshadowed by :byodood: DAMMIT I NEED TO PEE from some dude three floors down and across the road.
