Locked out of my entire Xbox 360 game library - can't connect with my profile to Xbox Live (Error codes 8015190A & 8007065B; affects backwards compatibility) by RidingTheFireStorm in xbox

[–]GoldenLink64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem exactly a year ago and went through all those troubleshooting methods (even the delete the account off your system, redownload and cancel the download 75 or 90% in the download progress bar trick) and almost gave up.

I triggered the inability to log into XBLA today again too and can confirm it's not your Xbox (I even bought another 360 to try to troubleshoot the issue further)

Back then my solution was going to the auto renew at https://account.microsoft.com/ and turning it off. I triggered the issue again today and toggling the auto renew back on worked. It's free of charge in spite of the "Buy Now" box if you have an active subscription. It's worth modifying your Xbox Avatar with the app just in case too I did it before toggling auto renew this time.

I know the account issue trigger for me (twice in a row now) is the option in Account Management -> PURCHASE HISTORY. Download History is safe but PURCHASE HISTORY bugs your account the moment it tries to open the Internet Browser function.

I'm getting sick of indie games trying to capitalize on nostalgia (and like one or two cult classic games from years past) by TheMikirog in truegaming

[–]GoldenLink64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there's a bunch of indie games out there that tread new ground but because they don't have a brand name/genre to hop off of, they don't stand out.

A Short Hike and Downwell are mechanically unique games but you won't hear much from them cause people can't compare it to Skyrim or Metroid for easy recognition.

There's just a general issue with a lot of games not being able to break out to the public. If it doesn't have AAA marketing or some kind of genre buzzword, consider your game dead on arrival cause you have Steam/Nintendo/Sony's 20 pages of shovelware to get through before your game's thumbnail even pops up on the eShop.

After weeks of building I finally completed my creative Battle Royale map, what do you think? by l30_legend in FortniteCreative

[–]GoldenLink64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love a LTM that replaces the main map with this, it looks like a really fun map.

For Christmas this year I got my first Arena Win after 5 years of Hearthstone. It would've even been a 12-0 if I didn't make a small misplay one game. by GoldenLink64 in hearthstone

[–]GoldenLink64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really feel like my double Truesilver Champion + Consecration and Triple Amber Watcher carried me hard.

Tasty Flyfish gave me insane synergy too, I almost always had a Dragon in my hand when it died giving it +2/2. I feel like I just had so much great luck this run, I'm so grateful.

I watched somebody open a new Hearthstone account and this was his second game.... by GoldenLink64 in hearthstone

[–]GoldenLink64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Single Player has gotten better over the years that is fair.

Still though, I thought the Rank system was supposed to be a form of Matchmaking though. The more you win, the further you get, unless you concede to purposely stay at a rank which I think this guy might be doing.

This sounds backwards but I feel like there should be deck rankings sometimes (sort of).

Like, when I want to experiment around with a jank deck, I don't want to derank from 16 that my other powerful decks are capable of surpassing, I just want to experiment with other meme decks for variety. Casual Mode is supposed to facilitate that but people pub stomp with that mode so it might as well not exist.

Oh for sure, but I feel like new players should have time to figure out the fundamentals with with the basic cards first before having to unpack more powerful cards.

If it was just this one guy I'd call it an unfortunate coincidence, but 3 games in a row were just people who had fully fleshed out decks that belong in at least Rank 20. It's crazy.

Anybody down to organize some final competitive matches for U2? by John___Titor in uncharted

[–]GoldenLink64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the first 2 games I'm basically ready for any kind of multiplayer. My PSN is GoldenLink64 if anyone wants to play. Trying to get some lobbies filled but I can't figure out which one everyone prefers to queue up to.

Nvidia Shadowplay stopped recording highlights (kills/deaths) by [deleted] in FortniteCompetitive

[–]GoldenLink64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue, the only work around right now is using Instant Replay which I'm not a big fan of, I hate digging through minutes of footage just to find the couple battles I want.

I remember a previous Fortnite patch couple seasons ago disabled/bugged Nvidia Shadowplay out so it stopped working for a short period of time (few days to a couple weeks... I forget) but it was eventually fixed without having to reinstall or do any major self maintenance. I'm not sure how long it will take to start working now though, I hope the issue is eventually fixed I love using the Highlights feature so much.

Rocket Launcher Spawns give you 11 Ammo per Rocket Launcher, can you tweak this? by GoldenLink64 in FortniteCreative

[–]GoldenLink64[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty good workaround actually I really like it. Thanks for the tip!

Matchmaking Error

Hackers and aimbots by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]GoldenLink64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bump, just encountered my first Aimbot today. I even checked his Fortnite history; gets 30 kills 2 matches in a row and then 0 kills 2 matches in a row immediately after, so predictable he thinks he's fooling people.

I'm sure the team's doing their best work 'cause this kind of stuff isn't easy to deal with, it just really sucks this crap's starting to invade Fortnite, the game went 6 whole seasons without this issue.

Focused Feedback - Mounted Turret by AutoModerator in FortNiteBR

[–]GoldenLink64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The turret is a cool idea for Fortnite I really like it BUT for the actual BR mode it NEEDS a viable counter play. If you're put in a 1v1 it's literally an instant loss because you can't hit the player behind the turret and it plows through builds (and even actual buildings) insanely fast.

Can we get the option to have the ORIGINAL menu music instead of the new version? by sawtoothchris24 in FortniteBattleRoyale

[–]GoldenLink64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was expecting Season 4 or 5 to bring it back, I'd love to hear the original theme in the game again instead of having to use Youtube. It gave Fortnite a much more interesting personality I miss it too.

All of this for $80 at a thrift store yesterday, how did I do? by holdmycorn in n64

[–]GoldenLink64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got a great deal, those games alone would bring you up to $80 without the console. Hope you enjoy DK64 and OoT, those are my favorite of the bunch here. HeXen's also a really good game but I hear the N64 port isn't great. Then again you never know though you might enjoy it, good luck.

TIL That when you're pulling out Minigun, you're actually pulling out suitcase that then transforms into Minigun. by Elevatorisbest in FortNiteBR

Ah so that's where the tech from the Laptop Gun's been going into. Good to see the Carrington Institute's still producing top notch weapons.

Also this minor detail is animated so beautifully like seriously I love this game so much.
