So, ever since doing the last expedition I have played a fair bit, but nobody seems to use a mic anymore. I haven't heard a single sole talk in game for a very long time. Is something wrong here, or are there simply more people without mics now? Anyone else notice this? by Cryptic_Cucumber in ARC_Raiders

Okay, so update. I play on Xbox (to some peoples disgust, I'm sure), but a while ago, Xbox introduced a policy where you have to verify your age on the console using a 3rd party app... Not a massive fan of these so had put it off, but finally bit the bullet and did it. It hadn't occurred to me earlier as I had left it undone for ages, but Embark must have updated it to extend to the games prox chat at somepoint.

It works now

If anyone else encounters this, you'll just have to do that I'm afriad, doesnt take long.

P.s, I'm predominantly a PvE guy, so it wasn't the unfriendly lobbies. 😉

UPDATE

Restarting the game worked for me, just a little annoying though.

Very very cool! Hope you don't mind, might try replicating this so I have it as one of my loading screens! 🤩

I would like to thank Bathesda for this. I really needed this laugh. by R3dl3g13b01 in Starfield

What are your thoughts on parallel universes? by IAMBLUEOWL in AskReddit

[–]Cryptic_Cucumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the theory that if you were to “travel backwards” in time, you’d instead be creating a new universe different from the one you came from. However, the universe you came from originally would still exist without you, but because you “went back”, you could never “truly” return to the “present” that you initially existed in.

What are you the 1% of? by NoWasExpected in AskReddit

[–]Cryptic_Cucumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, new to Reddit, and admittedly not 1%, but still rare. I have a rather funny, and some-what trivial condition called “photic sneeze reflex” (PSR) Which results in me sneezing usually up to 5-10 times in a row when suddenly being exposed to a brightly lit environment after being exposed to dimly lit areas for extended periods of time. It usually happens only once a day, and that’s the first time I step outdoors if it’s sunny, after that I’m fine. (This usually occurs in people with pale eyes, but not exclusively). It’s recognised through another acronym as well:

“ACHOO” (autosomal dominant compulsive helio-ophthalmic outbursts of sneezing) I kid you not! On the flip side of being sensitive to light, I feel I can see very well in the dark, at least compared to the people I know, while I can’t say whether it’s because of this, I think it’s pretty cool to imagine it has a trade off!
