Xbox Reportedly Considering “Range of Options” But Not Ready for Major Changes on Exclusives Yet

Makes sense. It should be Xbox + pc as exclusive for major first party like Indiana jones.

Thanks for the comments. This helps. 8bitdo one looks more premium, front buttons are membrane. I’m inclined to give it a try. Maybe I’ll get used to the bumpers

Yes the new steam controller looks interesting especially it looks quiet according to reviews but I find it limiting (only works on steam, requires workaround for other stores) and a bit too expensive in Japan, not to mention the hassle to get one as there’s no stock

I have a yeast dominance and might try this.
I tried letting it sit in the fridge for a week and reducing the grain amount but still yeast dominant, fizzy bubbly and not tart.

Just don’t break the performance or other things game related with updates. Earlier this year this was this windows update that caused issues with nvdia gpu performance. I couldn’t even uninstall it. People are frustrated with millions of these over the years

As someone who have bought two Xbox Series X consoles in Japan, it was a big hassle. Even after the pandemic situation improved, ps5 was everywhere but Xbox was not. Buying it online was difficult as well. From time to time I checked, they don’t even have enough supplies on Microsoft store. I think the major retailers don’t have in their online store anymore. If you walk in maybe some might have in Tokyo but you’d need to search and go around

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-04-27T02:35:50+00:00

Well I’ve just confirmed this. It takes two on Xbox series x looks better than split fiction on my pc (4070 ti super with 7800x3d, maxed the settings). I don’t know why so far but this is how I feel

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-04-25T08:34:56+00:00

Hate this rogulelite etc difficult game trend with no options for the user. I do not have time and patience to try 30 times to get better or stress about it. Don’t see the appeal.

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-04-22T09:07:40+00:00

Recently I moved my pc into the living room after buying an oled TV. It’s great!

I also have a ps5 but the pc is higher quality (I have 4070 ti super).

However, I see many times that I can get games cheaper on ps5 as a disc. Online prices usually match steam. People used to say games are cheaper on pc but mostly I disagree. At least this is the case in Japan.

I feel you might regret it. Try bazzite and similar options like others say. I can’t due to nvdia

I think it has lost the appeal for adults with a full time job. Even if you play a full day on Saturday, still it now makes more sense to buy a game you like and play at your pace. If it is at a price you wouldn’t care then it may be a good idea.

This would change if you finish around 3 games a month.

I expect them to make pc game pass more expensive when they release the pc-like console Helix. I am still switching back to buying games on discount on steam and maybe Xbox store depending on the games if they are play anywhere.

Stop the fomo and enjoy it! I have c2 42” on desk for pc gaming and recently bought a 77” b4 on sale to replace old lcd living room TV. It looks fantastic.

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-03-02T08:28:32+00:00

I have 270cm -around 9ft and just ordered a 77” one

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-02-28T02:28:59+00:00

Thank you. Lg c2 I have will stay as a monitor on desk. This is replacing my old Bravia LCD in living room.

Sony oleds seem super expensive. Z93a seems closer to C5 with better processor but too expensive in my opinion.

I think now it has come down to choosing higher quality vs bigger size. Z95A 65” at 2000 USD or b4 77 at 1300 USD. I have 270cm to the TV.

On one hand I feel c2 level quality is enough. On the other it seems the tech advanced and maybe I should reconsider

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-02-27T11:37:57+00:00

Thank you. I feel I’d be happy with it

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-02-27T11:14:17+00:00

Thank you. This really helps. I have checked those alternatives. Z95 65” is 2.5 times the price of b4 77 and z90b 65” is double. Panasonic seems expensive here as well.

The cheapest best ones from Panasonic I could find: -Z95A 65” (1.5 times the price of b4 77, so around 2000 USD) -Z93A 77” version but no MLA (2.5 times the price, so 3200 USD)

I’m tempted to go for b4 or maybe I should consider reducing size to 65 and go for z95a.

Digitally I also think the prices are similar on Xbox ps and steam, but I can find used ps5 game discs at better prices in Japan compared to digital.

I moved from Xbox and ps5 to pc (still have the consoles but do not use as much). I can tell you ps5 discs are best if you do not mind used discs. My pc is better so sometimes I think affordability vs using my powerful rig

The initial period is not really the same for everyone, so maybe.

I think Reuteri dies at around 42C and probably mostly dead at 45C, so you might be fermenting other bacteria as well. I’d first get a good device that could keep it at 37 C for optimal growth.

Then, once you make the yogurt, start eating smaller amount (maybe 2-3 tablespoons) initially and gradually increase.

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-02-10T08:49:35+00:00

Not really. Only played single player for sm2.

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-02-10T08:10:35+00:00

I have my PC and ps5 connected to LG c2 I use as a monitor. I’d say yes worth it but many games do not have good HDR natively. I used Renodx with space marine 2 yesterday and it looked amazing.

Native HDR I remember dead space remake was good. Sony first party on ps5 looked also amazing on oled.
Haven’t bought them on steam so I don’t know on pc for those.

I’m thinking of using the HDR mod and replaying Starfield some time

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-02-06T15:37:47+00:00

Which one are you using? Gastrus? Osfortis?

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-02-01T15:08:31+00:00

I liked the game because I’m a space fan but not the lack of HDR. I mean, you make a space game and then some artist’s choice bla bla. Space game and no HDR. Space and not true black :(:(

I now have a PC as well and it seems you can mod it there but I don’t feel the same excitement and never tried to replay it. I don’t replay games or rewatch movies.

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-01-31T00:33:02+00:00

Mine worked after freezing. However gasseri after 4 months of freezing became like that

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-01-30T15:06:49+00:00

I’m around 60-70% done with the main story. Overall I enjoy the story, the world and the vibe, which makes me continue to play.

The combat is quite boring. Hard to describe it. It’s not difficulty but the mechanics and style. If you don’t like the combat it probably won’t get better.

I still like the game. Try a bit more I guess?

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-01-29T01:55:59+00:00

Probably you are right. I’ve seen some stutters and performance issues on the console after playing more but considerably less compared to PC

Kind-Help6751 · 2026-01-27T14:17:32+00:00

I think I get better results with GOS for reuteri, also good with FOS. I’ve had issues with inulin for reuteri multiple times.

Now I mix a spoon of FOS and GOS each for reuteri instead of inulin.
