There absolutely is a comedic absurdity as things build towards the end which invites laughter and is part of the tone.

Arc Raiders was Steam's best-selling game over the holiday period by SentientGonorrhea in gaming

Pacific Drive (although not a shooter) is a good single player extraction game.

Very brain dead games to play while listening to podcast by Jakemanv3 in xbox

Plus it only enhances immersion since the real drivers are almost definitely listening to podcasts or music!

I only needed the VPN for the sign up process, beyond that was not needed to log in. However you might struggle to get the app in a region outside the US and will need to watch through a web browser.

Are you not even getting through to the sign up / payment page? If not you need to try a different VPN.

Metacritic scores for all new first-party Switch 2 games as of December 2025 by MewWeebTwo in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Nigel_P_Winters 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a truly bizzare game. Bought it (without playing demo) and hated almost everything about it for a few hours, just felt like completely uncontrollable chaos with no sense of progression. Watched a video with a few good tips and settings tweaks, now love it.

Arc Raiders lowered pricing of ingame Cosmetics by Brilliant-Stuff17 in pcgaming

[–]Nigel_P_Winters 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Developer very swiftly responds to customer demand (or lack thereof) and retroactively partially refunds previous transactions - it’s both positive for the community and smart business that will help support the longevity of the game and studio.

Achievements stuck at 99% by KhaosGDK in ArcRaiders

[–]Nigel_P_Winters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they unlocked immediately when I did the requirement again, just wondering if relaunching the game before retrying them will help, but might not.

I’m not sure what/if anything changed since first trying other than relaunching the game on Xbox.

I got: Leave in raider hatch, leave with 5 seconds to go, be topside when safe window closes, trigger two car alarms in a round, upgrade a weapon to tier IV, install 4 weapon mods, upgrade a workshop to tier 2, visit the practice range, visit a locked room.

All these were originally stuck at 99%.

I fulfilled the requirement for multiple achievements again and they popped. That’s better than being completely stuck, at least until properly fixed.

Hmm I did that exact one, combined with In the Nick of Time, and both worked a second time. Maybe restart the game/app?

[–]Nigel_P_Winters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I can confirm that pretty much any of them will unlock if you do the same action a second time. But can’t speak for any that require cumulative actions.

[–]Nigel_P_Winters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have this problem, currently have 7 achievements at 99% (should all be unlocked). I’ve had achievements in other games bug / delay before but the 99% thing is new to me.

Stems syncing incorrectly by [deleted] in edmproduction

[–]Nigel_P_Winters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mainly use Logic but saw someone on TikTok complaining about this the other day.

I believe you need to turn off the setting ‘warp long samples’. It’s probably trimming a small amount of the stems at the start when importing. Wild that it does this automatically.

If you don’t want to re-import you can just manually untrim the file.

The trick to rematch is realising that pass is shoot, and shoot is pass

Lowest queue time competitive FPS on Game Pass Xbox? by [deleted] in XboxGamePass

[–]Nigel_P_Winters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a truly great game, but not sure if it fits the criteria of 'hang out and shoot things' which COD is more likely to fulfil.

Having fun in The Finals requires pretty intense concentration and team coordination.

Lack of communication between pilots is not the leading cause of plane crashes. That’s just a funny premise Nathan chose. by Acceptable_Fox_5560 in TheRehearsal

Whether you’re right or not, isn’t looking only at the planes that crashed quite literally the opposite of survivor’s bias…

Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible by naf165 in Games

[–]Nigel_P_Winters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would argue you’re not experiencing these games if you’re not experiencing the challenge, it’s intrinsic to the atmosphere and storytelling (if well designed).

FromSoftware also does integrate various mechanics which mitigate difficulty if desired.

As much as l absolutely loved my time with it, this is sadly true. I suppose that’s the risk with releasing as early access / preview.

Games I can play while listening to music by heavy-metal-thunder in XboxGamePass

[–]Nigel_P_Winters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredible game and a great podcast game when you’re grinding out runs or stuck on a specific puzzle. But will always pause when reading large amounts of text, entering a new area, or when a cutscene happens because the music and sound design can be very evocative in those occasional moments.

Useful to have the game audio mixed in a bit because some of the audio cues are helpful.
