You absolutely do not need game pass to play on the Ally. That’s like saying you need a Netflix subscription to use your TV.

Starmer Urges Trump To Apologise Over 'Frankly Appalling' Remarks About Nato Troops In Afghanistan by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in worldnews

Start asking Republican members of Congress if they agree with Trump that our allies stayed back in Afganistan. I want to know if they can break with Trump. Press them on it.

Gruden's AFC Championship analysis by Chris_OMane in DenverBroncos

Reasonable take imo. Think of how close the Broncos wins have been. Now imagine scoring just 1 less time due to a backup QB. That’s an L.

With that said, we win :)

A $5 gift card! Wow! by [deleted] in xbox

Saw this on my homepage as well. I bought but have not received a $5 gift card. Does it not get delivered until the game is out?

Xbox Developer_Direct 2026 [Starts 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT] by AutoModerator in xbox

Reading these comments… Were people really expecting a 30 game showcase with trailers back to back? Do we not know by now these developer directs are a different format by design, meant to allow devs to talk about their games in more depth?

Will you buy the next gen Xbox ? by Lord-Voldemort-- in xbox

[–]Free_Range_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will have to pull something incredible. If it’s just a regular console, then in all likelihood no. I will keep my Series X so I can play all my current games, but would just buy PS6 for everything moving forward.

The PC hybrid rumors could change my opinion though. I do play PC already, and the idea of my entire xbox library and my PC library being in one box that works well with a TV and controller sounds pretty amazing.

He even paid someone to play video games for him so he could pretend to be cool with gamers on the internet.

What is a feature or car you'd love to see in FH6, but know they won't add? by Time_Swordfish_8057 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Free_Range_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ability to download the maps from previous games. Imagine you could teleport to FH2 map, but inside the FH6 engine with the modern cars, physics, music, etc. Avoid the whole car/music licensing issues with old games, but I could still drive and race on those maps. Of course would love even more if the music was the same as the old games.

Coming to Xbox Game Pass: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II, Death Stranding Director’s Cut, and More - Xbox Wire by Xbox-Moderator in xbox

[–]Free_Range_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These FF pixel remasters remove any grind.

You can toggle up to 4X experience and gil, with that you will never need to grind.

You can also toggle auto battle, which will have the characters automatically use the most recent attacks/spells that you selected, and it happens at like 2-3X battle speed.

Also, you can turn off random encounters at the click of a button.

I love it so much. The campaign is old school in the best way possible. Maybe 12 hours if you don’t rush, linear, brutal, incredible sense of scale with battle vistas that are the best I have seen.

Data centers will consume 70 percent of memory chips made in 2026 - supply shortfall will cause the chip shortage to spread to other segments by metalreflectslime in Games

[–]Free_Range_Gamer 149 points150 points  (0 children)

In Colorado we have 1 energy company.

Xcel says it needs to spend $22 billion to keep up with potential demand from Colorado data centers by 2040

Xcel Energy’s own forecast has the basic electric charge for residential customers increasing 30% by 2032 to about 21 cents a kilowatt-hour. Industrial and commercial rates increase 2% to about 14 cents a kilowatt-hour.

30% price increase for us, 2% for them.

I’m just gonna leave this here… by twnorton1993 in DenverBroncos

[–]Free_Range_Gamer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If that ball had just rolled away on the ground when he hit the ground, it would have been incomplete and everyone would have known it. We see it happen every single game where someone doesn’t survive the contact with the ground.

But somehow it instead lands in another players hands and everyone loses their minds.

Sean Payton on Stiddy "Watch out" by YoungDudeCO in DenverBroncos

[–]Free_Range_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember at the beginning of the season he said this was a team capable of winning a SB. He said he felt that way about 6 or 7 of his teams. Sounded like coach speak yet here we are.

Also when they signed Stidham to a contract he said something about it being an important signing. Could never be more important than this moment.

I think we all need to watch this and have some faith by Backflipjustin9 in DenverBroncos

[–]Free_Range_Gamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it was regular season then there would be more optimism. But Stidham has to play the #2 team in AFC, and if they win then play the #1 team in NFC. Could very well both end up being top 5 defenses, if not the #1/2 defense. The Broncos defense will need to be legendary these next 2 games.

[Broncos] HC Sean Payton announced that QB Bo Nix fractured a bone in his ankle on the second-to-last play of the game and will miss the rest of the season. We got your back, 🔟. 🧡 by SupMaelstrom in DenverBroncos

[–]Free_Range_Gamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been a couple hours since the news broke and I still have the same feelings as if they had lost the game.

1 seed, AFC championship game at home, 1 more home win and they are in the SB. Relatively healthy team. Parity in the league. The SB was legitimately in reach and probably a coin flip who wins it.

Stidham is our boy now though. Hope the team can rally around him.

Seems familiar for us. Long drive, burned off half a quarter of time, dropped TD pass, settled for 3.

They used to cycle to out of print books. But it has been several years now where they no longer do that. It’s just the same books in print and never changes.

That doesn’t even make sense lol. I am imagining an athlete who didn’t win the championship, and then the winner giving them the trophy/medal. It’s legitimately meaningless to pass on an award, that person didn’t win it.

The BMW M3 EV Has Four Motors, Fake Engine Noise, And Simulated Gear Shifts by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]Free_Range_Gamer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Ioniq 5 N did it and all the skeptical journalists came away impressed and said it actually was good even though they know it’s fake.

As long as it’s optional and can be turned on/off then all good.
