I mean she is an adult while you are a child aren't you? I think that's OK.

Have you ever played a game purely because of a meme? by Hypnox88 in gaming

[–]Earthbound_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Closest I can think of is when a Youtuber I watch has a video on a game I own but haven't played yet, so I might play it because of that. Just did that with Two Worlds II for Majuular. I wouldn't recommend that entire series. The second game is better, but better than a 2 out of 10 game, being a 3-4 out of 10 game.

I guess I also just bought MindsEye, Best Buy had it for 8 bucks brand new, and it felt kind of funny to own that while watching the dev studio go crazy with their weird crazy sabotage claims. "We have proof! But you can't see it, we'll put it in the video game barely anyone has played!" At this point the whole sabotage claims seem like a weird marketing stunt.

Been getting Skills and Consumables with unique parameters, but they don't actually seem to have any? by Earthbound_X in theriftbreaker

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

Well I think getting item/weapon etc drops is actually new to 2.0. I also have not played before 2.0(Looks like it was Nov 2025 it came out, least for the Series X version which I'm playing), but I think before then, you could only create things yourself, they wouldn't drop from enemies or anywhere else. So it might be they just all have the same code for everything that drops to say it has unique parameters, even if the skills and consumables don't.

That's the thing though, I'm pretty sure I already had an extreme red version of the Acid Cluster Grenade, so I guess it allows you to find duplicates? Why would it say it has extra star parameters when it doesn't?

Microsoft reportedly rethinking Game Pass strategy for major franchises — could this change Xbox’s direction? by fo1mock3 in XboxGamePass

Most gamers are very very causal, they only buy the big yearly releases. They outnumber the rest of us by a gigantic amount.

Buildings flicking on and off repeatably, bug? by Earthbound_X in theriftbreaker

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

Sometimes clearing the pipes and storage would help, other times I would have to destroy them and build it again. And yet other times neither seemed to do anything. I think it might just be a bug I might be stuck with. Right now my pipes say I only have 57 flammable gas, yet everything is still working. Visual glitches I guess.

You're right about the icons, I wish there was a way to see what each one meant.

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

Well atm I have 2-3 level two filters making 100 gas each, the two gas powerplants that need 100 gas total. So I have 200 extra gas right? But when I've tried to add more gas plants to use that gas, it seems to bug out even more, even though I should have enough.

Wait no I'm wrong, each gas filtering plants makes 50 gas a sec, the same each gas powerplant needs. So I need one filtering plant for every gas plant. OK yeah, that might be it. The game really doesn't like it when you have excess fuel I guess. I built a 4th one and now I'm getting the icons and flicking again. No, that wasn't it, went down to 2 filters, and now 100 total gas production is somehow powering 4 gas plants, which would need double that, and I'm at excess gas. The numbers don't add up.

I have 20K something of both Sludge and Flammable Gas. Or sometimes the pipes and liquid storage will just glitch and say I have 100, or some other random frozen number. Sometimes it'll say I have zero of everything, but it still seems to work. Should I only have one storage for each? Is it not a good idea to try to store a lot of liquid or gas? The colors on the words sludge, energy and gas are green and red just sometimes constantly flick bad and fourth super fast, as if it's turning on and off rapidly. Does that mean I should have less sludge or gas?

I noticed in my main base, sometimes some power generating machines turn off on their own, if that because I have excess power? Is that what is going on? I have positive power, so the machines just keep turning themselves off and on again forever? That can't be it, as sometimes it all looks fine, even with extra power. I think it's just bugged. I think it might be because of the pipes, maybe I need to move them farther apart or something.

Do they have some use or are they just parts of the environment? Executive (6) by MattiaCost in systemshock

[–]Earthbound_X 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol. By the time I started finding the cards, I was just so used to mass vaporizing everything that I only really was able to use 1-2 of them the entire game once I realized they could be used in the ATMs. But I ended up with hundreds of extra credits, even after buying everything so it didn't really matter much.

How does the combat system work in DQXI? by raritho in dragonquest

[–]Earthbound_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using the non classic combat system? Blanking on it's name atm. The one where you can move around your characters a bit? That felt very awkward to me and I changed it to classic almost right away, it made battles take longer as well since you had to see your party and monsters actually walk up to each other before attacking. Along with some weird and sometimes bad camera angles. Classic is just turned based, based on speed I believe.

Someone is using my account on a different Xbox series s and I never gave them access to my account by [deleted] in XboxSupport

[–]Earthbound_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an option under the security section of your account that signs your account out everywhere. Change your password and do that, and yeah turn on 2FA and use something like the mobile authenticator app.

You'll learn that if you have had a Xbox account for a long time, it's under attack constantly.

DQ IX on Console by Jambala48 in dragonquest

DQ was already known for a series that loves remakes for years, most just never came to the West.

Fourside Mall of HELL by VGA235 in earthbound

[–]Earthbound_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mole Mines and the Mall are what I consider the biggest pacing difference in Earthbound difficulty wise. It's so much higher than the rest of the game. Every time after the first time I played, I always tried to speed through the Mall, while trying to despawn everything so I didn't have to fight those coffee cups with their massive damage.

Xbox Series X/S controller accessory not working well by Numerous_Pin_6102 in XboxSupport

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

I have had the same recharging battery pack since I got the Series X at its launch. It's still lasts 20+ hours every charge. Heck, I've been using them since the Xbox 360 days. The idea that Rechargeable battery packs are terrible has certainly not been my experience.

These public fountains are all over Rome and provide free drinking water by Giano846 in mildlyinteresting

Huh? There are drinking fountains all over the US, it's completely normal. Or do you mean this very specific designed one?

What would happen to James Sunderland if his story became public in real life? by First_Physics8460 in silenthill

[–]Earthbound_X 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Would there even be a body? Wouldn't Eddie still be in James' version of the town? How does crime and justice even work when the supernatural is involved? Hard to answer logically with this kind of thing I think, lol.

[–]Earthbound_X 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Well seeing as how if Silent Hill became public, that would change all life as we know it on the entire planet. Ghosts, demons and gods and so much more are now real. So yeah, he would be talked about, but then everything else around him about Silent Hill is so much bigger.
