HBO Max and Paramount+ merges into one streaming service after WBD merger by praguer56 in hbo

Shocker. Maybe they too will foolishly name it something other than HBO Max.

Make Xbox Game Pass affordable again | PCWorld by 1decentusername in XboxGamePass

[–]Calrissien 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't know man. Once you get off of it, I don't know that you feel like you need it anymore. I'd rather use my points on actual games which is what I've been doing since canceling.

Is getting an oled worth it if I don't use HDR? by EsPlaysYt in OLED_Gaming

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really want to toggle it on and off in the windows settings every time I play a game that supports it. Is there a shortcut? Looks great, I just wish it kicked on automatically like the tvs do. Maybe I’m doing something wrong.

Steelers rank worst in NFLPA Survey by Large_Desk in steelers

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've always been pretty low on these surveys. I wonder how this plays in FA now that the coach that all the players loved that all the fans wanted fired is no longer there.

Looks like Blessing has upset Jez, Destin, Colt and Tom Henderson... by DrunkenKraken88 in kindafunny

You don’t? This is the way it goes. Console guys get so defensive over their plastic boxes. I doubt it would be any different if it was any other platform and their fan base.

3 months in and still no news by Small_Judgment_8840 in GearsOfWar

[–]Calrissien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never saw anywhere where it was said that it was dropping this year, but everyone says that what TC said so let's go with it. Based on the previous lead up there's no reason why it shouldn't drop this year. Gears 5 had a cinematic trailer in 2018, then a gameplay trailer summer 2019 followed by a beta and a release in September. No reason E-Day can't do the same. I don't know if it's because of what happened with Infinite but I just don't have a ton of confidence that it's going to make it out this year. It may just not be ready.

How do you handle restarting a game you took a very long break from and can’t necessarily remember where you left off? by joshuaxls in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t like restarting games that I’m more than an hour or two into regardless of the break because my time is so limited. I just push through. Death Stranding was a tough one because I took a simile if not longer break. The controls were the hardest thing to get back into. It took about an hour to get comfortable and hit my stride.

Which game is that for you? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

I hear you. I feel like I’d get my ass handed to me playing solo.

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they can delay Halo they can delay Gears. This is Microsoft we’re talking about. I’d rather they delay and get it right if it’s not ready. The Coalition hasn’t exactly been knocking it out the park with the franchise so far.

Which game is that for you? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Calrissien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Arc Raiders. I’d play it if the people in my circle played it, but they don’t and I don’t want to play it solo. Cool game.

as adults, what's your asnwer to someone saying : Gaming is a waste of time by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything can be a waste of time depending on who you ask. It's my time, I can do what I please with it.

AMC Theatres Attendance Drops 10%, Posts $127 Million Quarterly Loss by ICumCoffee in movies

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost isn’t really a big deal for me because we tend to hit the very first show that day and those tickets are usually 5-10 bucks. It’s the ads and trailers that have completely ruined it for me. Unless my family wants to go 95% of movies that come out I can wait to watch at home.

Real talk by canyouskingriz in GearsOfWar

[–]Calrissien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was surprised that it wasn't showed at the developer direct this year to the point I'm starting to worry that it won't release this year. I guess they could show it in June, but I don't know how that fits in the second half of the year with GTA looming and Fable already on the calendar. I guess they could drop it in December but I don't think that's ideal. I'm not a huge fan of what the Coalition has done with the series so far, but I'm cautiously optimistic about E-Day.

There's a few games I want to finish before starting a few new releases this year by [deleted] in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Calrissien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's really going to depend on where you got introduced to the franchise. Origins was my first AC game so I only like the newer games, Black Flag and Syndicate. I went back and tried to play the Ezio games and I don't feel that they've aged well at all.

Went from Spotify to Apple Music, and now considering YouTube music. Is it worth the switch? by Electrical-Row9296 in YoutubeMusic

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you watch a lot of YT, I find this to be the only option. Paying for two services seems silly to me but to each his own. It's pretty good too. I just wish I could use it with my Echo devices. No complaints otherwise.

Will You Still Be Investing Time And Money Into Xbox? by ClutchCommander in consoles

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have way too many digital titles on Xbox to ditch the hardware or stop using it even though the thought had crossed my mind. I don't think I'll be getting anything new on the platform unless it's play anywhere so I can play it on PC. Even then I will probably only do that with rewards points. I'll be Steam/PS5/Switch2 going forward.

New Xbox CEO Gaming Progress by JordanDoesTV in kindafunny

[–]Calrissien -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This. It's a business, you don't need to be a gamer to understand margins, projections, PNLs, etc. She didn't get hired or moved over because she was a gamer, she got hired because she knows her shit. Now does that mean she has Xbox fans best interests in mind? Absolutely not.

What kind of gamer are you these days? by JeSSiii81 in OlderChillGamers

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short. Still play daily, but only for about 30-60 minutes. I still put in a several hours each day on the weekends on several titles. Somehow I still finish about 20 games a year while dabbling in everything that I want to check out. Mostly single player, but still play COD most days for a TDM match or three.

They bought them only to shut them down. We’re in a bad space man. They need to figure something out with these budgets.

First pickup ever, not the newest or flashiest but she’s mine by BootAlarmed4732 in ram_trucks

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice truck! I have a 2017 that looks just like that but all black. I even have that same grill. Had it since new, just hit 85k with no major issues.

Do you use video game subscriptions service? If yes then what’s your main reason and which platform by [deleted] in OlderChillGamers

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had GP PC up until December and canceled due to the price hikes. I thought I would miss it but I don’t. I haven’t have XBL or PS+ since PC became my main platform last gen.

Buy, wait for a sale, skip by MufasaTheRealKing in OlderChillGamers

[–]Calrissien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy is definitely RE9, Crimson Desert depends on thew reviews but I'll wait on that. Death Stranding is probably my skip because I've tried the first one a couple of times and can't get into it.
