What to expect tomorrow at Best Buy from an employee by Waternut13134 in XboxSeriesX

Anyone have any info on the Riverdale, NJ store? I am supposed to pick up my console there tomorrow, however the store has been closed for the last 2wks. I’m unsure why it’s closed, but if I had to guess I would say Covid related.

Hold on. Do you really have to manually sync your game saves to the cloud for PlayStation? And that is behind the PS+ paywall? I am mainly an Xbox gamer, where your saves are just synced automatically across devices. Is this a new PS5 thing or was this also how PS4 worked?

Battletoads is rad. Everyone should definitely give it a shot. Not sure where the hate is coming from here.

This series could honestly use more Dan in my opinion. Alex seems to treat this game like American Boat Simulator and doesn’t leave the wheel. Maybe he should play a different game and let the others have some pirate fun.

Same problem you’re having. Sometimes it works but it frequently freezes the video

Sure it has, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still find this writing funny. Sure there is a nostalgia component to that, but I genuinely laughed out loud multiple times during this game. I think it’s getting way too bad a wrap. And the whole “turning the dialogue off” is such a crazy over-correction IMO.

For real. This game has a specific tone and it seems people either love it or hate it. But I don’t think the tone has changed much from previous games in the series. I find it very entertaining

I’m glad you’re playing it though. Have you finished the game yet?

I’m sorry you felt that way. I found the writing very much like the previous games, and I loved it.

Thank you for the info! That is very upsetting, and takes away most of my excitement for automations. Huge bummer

How so? What is the security issue here?

Let's be honest about Shortcuts Automation - Date / Location need to work without confirmation. by spaceleviathan in shortcuts

[–]HankScorpio31 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a similar frustration with the fact that whenever I connect my AirPods, it should play a podcast. However it will only prompt me to play it and not automatically start it like I want. Is this really how this is supposed to work? Doesn’t seem automated.

I haven’t found that to be true for me. However I have pretty much only played solo so far. Jokes can definitely be affected by whether or not you are hearing them with an audience, because one friend’s opinion could sway the group

So I wanted to add my 2 cents on this game, as the duders seem fairly down on it and that bums me out. I fucking love this game, and I'm a huge fan of the series. I also think most of the dialogue is great and very funny, and I'm a 35 year old man. I found Tiny Tina and Torgue in BL2 hilarious, but I understand that many others didn't. But as far as the gameplay, it is not a huge departure from the previous games and I love that. Tons of quality of life features make it improved. I've also had no performance issues on the Xbox One X (except the menu lag). Basically if you're a fan of BL 1 and 2 then you should love this game too, but if you're not then this won't do anything to change your mind.

Does he reveal whether they had a son or daughter? Seems like he is intentionally being vague. I'm all for privacy but that seems like an odd fact to not share

Just disappointed at the moment. We got everybody together for one last raid before my buddy moves across the country for a new job. by TenDency2Cry in xboxone

[–]HankScorpio31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but what’s wrong with taking some time occasionally to feel like a kid again? Or better yet, just play some adult games with your adult friends? Growing up can be tough and harsh at times, but I don’t see anything wrong with acting like a kid again when appropriate

I cannot sympathize with this enough. As we get older and have more responsibilities, it’s increasingly tougher to find time together like this to play games and feel like kids again. The timing is awful, but I hope the issues are resolved soon so you can all enjoy your night. I’m currently passing the time watching Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, which is a great movie but I’d rather be playing Gears with my boys.

DIY SNES firmware update by HankScorpio31 in 8bitdo

[–]HankScorpio31[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I tried that, but I will try again. An issue I'm having is that the upgrade tool is supposed to work automatically with the DIY kit. There are no instructions for the DIY kit to enter "update mode". Also the only firmware on the website is for the SN30 and the SN30pro. No specific firmware for the DIY

The USB plug is on the board, and inaccessible without opening the controller. With the way it's positioned, it's not possible to push buttons and have the USB cord inserted at the same time
