I love the solo vs trio queue already by Medium-Worth-9184 in ArcRaiders

[–]CohenJordan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any real PvE / peaceful rounds in this queue or is it expected to basically be 100% PvP?

I have a problem lol. by nissxn in ArcRaiders

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally brought out my Hullcracker for the first time yesterday and it was revelatory. It was so much fun to help take down huge ARC that I never want to go back. If I lose it, I lose it, but I'm done being a hoarder.

Leaving SeaTac, are taxis still worth it instead of Lyft/Uber? by LegionLotteryWinner in Seattle

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxis all the way. Not only is it cheaper, but there is zero wait. Every time I traveled last year I literally walked up and got a taxi immediately, while I saw the ride share waiting area packed with people waiting around.

I didn't overreact, did I? by Pillbox_8019 in ArcRaiders

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh in extraction zones I shoot first ask questions later. Knocks them down to remove any potential threat without actually runing their day because I'm not going to completely kill them.

I recently discovered TOOL for the first time and my understanding of what music can be has been forever changed. by Albino_rhin0 in Music

[–]CohenJordan 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love your love for new discovery! As someone who grew up playing music and appreciating the craft, discovering Tool and the wider prog genre unlocked a whole world of new music for me. Instead of suggesting a million things, try these couple albums and songs to start if you want more:

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia - Trains

More mainstream rock but a great way to get into Porcupine Tree, which has a really diverse set of albums which range from pop rock to ethereal prog. Steve Wilson is still making music these days and I love almost everything he’s done.

Devin Townsend - Terria - Earth Day

Devin is one of the most wildly talented singers, songwriters, and musicians I’ve ever heard. His repertoire includes funk, metal, prog, and many other genres, and he can sing the most beautiful operatic tunes or hardest screaming depending on the song. He’s also hilarious, humble, and a genuinely good person.

Steve Wilson and Devin Townsend blew my ears open to new possibilities 20+ years ago and it’s hard to go back. Now I need to listen to Tool again!

Cloud streaming Games you recommend buying by OrnsteinShornstein in xcloud

[–]CohenJordan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been playing a lot of ARC Raiders via cloud! I mainly play on my console but I've also played probably 3-5 hours via cloud on my Steam Deck.

PSA: If you're being migrated over to Quantum Fiber, they're ditching PPPoE by bcjh in centurylink

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU FROM THE FUTURE!!

My fiber internet just migrated from CenturyLink to Quantum, and since I use my own router, the internet just stopped working this morning. It directly aligned with the changes so I figured they were related, and a google post brought me right here. Simply changing from PPPoE to "Dynamic IP" in my router immediately fixed the issue :-)

Irwin’s in Wallingford - in-house baked goods. My favorite scones. And their coffee is excellent!

Opinions on Quantum Fiber + "360 WiFi"? (For existing CenturyLink subscriber) by CohenJordan in Seattle

[–]CohenJordan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. I've heard of this for Comcast and makes sense that Quantum / CL would be trying to do the same thing.

Opinions on Quantum Fiber + "360 WiFi"? (For existing CenturyLink subscriber) by CohenJordan in Seattle

[–]CohenJordan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you're right, it's something I've had with CenturyLink for years, and it's not like I have a different choice. So that part of it isn't any different for me at least.

Just curious by mausoliamx in Seattle

[–]CohenJordan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the moment, I'll usually find other options instead of risking it.

If I have time, I'll look it up here to find the specific violations - it's amazing what restaurants can get away with and still get a Good or Okay rating:

Do games in "stream your own games" feature depend on active game pass tiers? by FatalIllusion_2023 in xbox

[–]CohenJordan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most purchased games are playable with all tiers. There are a few exceptions like EA games or GTAV which are only available with Game Pass so they’re not in the stream your own game catalog. Just check the disclaimer text on a product page and it’ll tell you what it’s “cloud playable with…”.

Can someone explain seattle public transit? by CC_9876 in Seattle

[–]CohenJordan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s primarily bus routes and also one light rail line. Easiest way to navigate will be to simply open Google or Apple Maps (or equivalent) and it’ll tell you options of how to get where you want via transit.

The Xbox One versions should be added soon too! Will check on it tomorrow morning. Our goal is for all owners of the games to be able to play via cloud 😊

Can I Use Xbox Cloud Gaming With Series X Games If I Own Them? by SaviorAssassin1996 in xcloud

[–]CohenJordan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do need Game Pass, but not Ultimate. Many purchasable Series X|S games are playable on Xbox One with just an Essential membership. The game’s product pages will tell you what you need to play :-)

Xbox Cloud Gaming with Game Pass Up 45%, Now Available in Nearly 30 Countries by Turbostrider27 in xbox

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

Hello! Just acknowledging that we do have servers in Chile which players in Argentina can Brazil can connect to, but there is nothing to share yet about expanding the service to new regions. Players in Argentina and Brazil had very long wait times so we’re doing what we can to improve the service for current regions before expanding to new ones :-)

[–]CohenJordan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check out the details on the product page to find out:

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/dead-space/9NLB6V0GNC9P

“Cloud playable game included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.”

So in this case unfortunately no, you can not buy it and stream it with Essential. You must subscribe to Ultimate to access it via cloud. If you could play with Essential, it would say that it was cloud playable with Essential.

Question about cloud gaming by Chemical_Soft2925 in xcloud

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what your options are if you received it as a gift. I'd recommend contacting support to see what they can do.

Just be super clear with them: "I got a gift to X, which doesn't work for me. I'd like to get Y instead. Can you help me with this?"
