I'm not a jaded person but many of the games shown in the Xbox stream didn't interest me at all. Wasteland 3 looks cool, but I'm still lukewarm on it because playing through Wasteland 2 was kind of a slog.

The Indie reel looks good if you haven't seen many of them, but between Lash/Mor new releases thread and Tizoc's highlight threads, I've seen most of them already.

It's cool if you like Gamepass and xCloud, I guess.

:02shrug:

EDIT: I forgot to mention the most heart-rending part of the stream: Obsidian making that survival/multiplayer thing. How the mighty has fallen. :02cry:

So I used my gamepass ultimate to get a Discord Nitro sub, and the Nitro sub gave me an extra 2 months of GP Ultimate.

Thanks Discord/Microsoft lol
Where did you get that ? Didn’t find it, not expecting it, but you never know.

The Nitro or the Gamepass sub?

You can only get the free Nitro if you have XGP Ultimate and an Xbox One (you need to actually go to the GamePass Section of the X1 Dashboard to get it. I had to unpack a bunch of boxes to find my xbox to do this.)

If you have Discord Nitro it should give you a notification when you log in on the top of your screen that they're giving out XGP 3 month subs.

Yeah sorry I wasn’t very clear. I was indeed speaking about the free nitro once you are subbed to ultimate.
So you need an xbox console for nitro. Then you must not be european for spotify.

That’s some flaming hoops right there, I’m beggining to feel like an otter in a circus.

Kingdom Hearts on XBox but not PC kinda hurts. But oh well, not a fan of the franchise anyway.

Also, it's so surprising that Wasteland 3 is a $60 game. I bet no one saw it coming.

I suppose Mor is talking about Valve VR announcements.
I see.

I was utterly disgusted by that Obsidian reveal today. Like I know it was worked on before MS, but honestly this is the type of game me or other people would have jokingly said is what will happen after MS buys them. It's like a hyperbolic nightmare scenario becoming reality.
Yeah, I'm not a fan either.

That game has no business being developed by Obsidian. The fact that it's a survival game only makes it worse, as it'll need constant updates overtime. Hopefully it won't affect their main RPG project, as they only stationed a dozen of people or so from what I've read.

That makes me think of an even bigger nightmare scenario.

Imagine if the game somehow explodes in popularity like Apex did. You can bet that team size of 13 won't stay at 13 if that happens. People WILL get transferred over.

Do note that Remnant, while being firstly advertised like this on the game's Twitter account :
"Remnant joins Xbox Game Pass! The perfect opportunity to check out the game on PC and Xbox One."
Is Xbox only. Tweet has been modified

I don't know anymore. Bkuhgqogfhlfsdjml..
By now I suppose that during the next X Microsoft will announce games for Gamepass Playstation and upload them on Switch.

Turns out Rage 2 is now included in Gamepass PC. PR is hard, people.

Lol. What a mess. It's always confusing to find out which games are on PC and which are not.

Now about the nice perks that you probably won't have access to for reasons (you are not American, you have no xbox console, you have two ears, we don't like your eyes color), I just found another MS tweet saying that, for Discord Nitro, Ultimate subscribers without a console can contact support.
The tweet being accompanied by a shortened URL that doesn't work.

I'm really not sure I have it in me to continue this quest for the ghostly perks.

So Xcloud support is coming to Gamepass. The way they said it at their show sounded like you will be able to stream the entire gamepass library to wtvr device you want. And if it doesn't increase the monthly price of GP then that would be some insane value.

First they said you don't need a console anymore to play Xbox exclusives.

Soon you won't even need a PC to play them + you get a bunch of other 3rd party games from their library.

So what will be the final form of all this cloud stuff? Will they just sell AR glasses and beam that shit into your eyeballs so you won't need phones/tablets either?

Microsoft is going all in with this Game Pass and XCloud business. They see that PC has become a mature audience thanks to Steam, and it's time to reap them.

Hmm, the plot thickens. In my Xbox Gamepass PC App (betatm) I have a front panel ad for Wasteland 3. It's so cheap, 16.99 euros, 13.59 with Gamepass.
Evidently the link point to Wargroove, because obviously.

What is the use of Nitro anyway? Real, tangible use I mean. Don't think it'd be worth than a few clicks for me.

Pff, no idea apart from the better emojis. Which, when you regularly use Discord, is kinda cool. Not whatever they ask for cool, mind.
In other news after spitting fire at Gamepass PC in two tweets, I also asked if they need someone. I'm not desperate.

That's actually cheaper than Steam. But too bad, there's no way for me to purchase it.

I wonder if Microsoft will implement their own wallet system for XBox app?

This isn't much but I contacted a 343 rep on Reddit about Halo's price on LatAm and he replied back, saying that he will pass on to the right people. Guess that now I'll just have to hope for the better.

"Tell Me Why will be released for Xbox One, Windows 10 PCs, XBox Game Pass and Steam in Summer 2020. The game will be released in three chapters over the course of the summer. "

A transgender protagonist, with hints of supernatural shenanigans involving the deuteragonist, and, judging by the website, references native american culture?

Is this a LiS successor?

Speaking of Discord Nitro:


You can also gift the Gamepass to someone else since the key is not tied to your account.

less than 3 hours until I can play Jedi.

So Dark Souls X Star Wars. I like the sound of that.

Also I have tried Cream Soda and I thought it was decent.

So for the job I will actually be getting paid $13.50USD an hour. I may also get overtime.

I asked the person why they choose to give me an interview. They said that since I already had work experience that I already knew what the value of a job is (so I actually show up to work and most of the places I have on my resume I have worked at for at least 1 year).

The fact that I have some knowledge of graphic design also seemed to get his attention. I forget the exact reason that he gave me but it was along the lines of being knowledgeable of software or something like that.


My job is to take molds (impressions?) that dentist take of their patients teeth, 3D scan them and then to just clean up the image. So I have to make sure that no big pieces of teeth and stuff are missing and if need be I will need to but part of the mold in order to get a better 3D image.

Also it took 505 a while but they updated the DS Steam page
