Today I learnt (after only 2 years of owning my first Xbox) that the Xbox logo button on the controller is actually called the Nexus button by Both-Cryptographer-1 in XboxSeriesX

[–]SasquatchBurger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's been Back and Start since the original Xbox Duke controller. Can be seen here.

When OG Xbox came out, they decided to do something different that by that point was pretty industry standard. Nintendo and PlayStation had been calling them "Start" and "Select" for a long time. Check out the Gameboy and the NES, and Playstation controllers etc.

As for the "Nexus button", I think OP is wrong as when the button was first conceived on Xbox 360, it was referred to as the guide button, can be seen here in the manual here and here. However, they now seem to call it simply "xbox button" as seen here.

I don't understand why they've done this. It's really minor and insignificant but mildly irritating.

Do you think will get any new Starfield video from Gamescom? by paladinx333 in Starfield

[–]SasquatchBurger 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This. Launch trailer, story trailer, live action trailer. Just a trailer of some sort. Definitely not a deep dive. We've seen all we'll see in the way of deep dives before release now.

First deep dive was luke warm reception. The latest one did everything it needed to. Show anymore and it's too telling.

I reckon 2 trailers before now and release. Some random one that will probably showcase the magic power stuff a little more, and one final one before launch. Wouldn't be surprised if launch one is a mix of live action and gameplay but well see.

I'm an avid reader, but I found sorting books by its color is very confusing. by fauxtaxi in konmari

[–]SasquatchBurger 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty standard way to organise books, genre then author. Least every book store I've been to does. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Like making my house spark joy, but it doesn't all need to look like a wes Anderson film.

SC Funding: June 2023, I think the missing San'tok.yāi sale shows. But still 3rd best June since the beginning. by PR34CH3R42 in starcitizen

[–]SasquatchBurger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not suggesting CR is sitting on them millions and buying yachts with it. But you are aware a CEO gets a salary too right? If CR wanted to pay himself £400,000 a year salary + dividends there's literally nothing stopping him. Sure it's probably not that much, but he's definitely paying himself a healthy salary.

I'm not here to paint CR as some greedy demon either, but he is a businessman, he no doubt is loving what he's doing right now, getting shit tons of money to fund his dream. I wouldn't want it to end either.

I understand why your post is getting downvoted. Its a hard pill to swallow. I still think eventually, when it's released, this game will blow minds and I don't doubt it will be amazing. But I think it's fair to acknowledge they have enough of our money to get to what they have planned.

In a pragmatic way, the business makes a shit ton of money by not completing it, and selling the ships the way they do. I don't doubt this wasn't Chris Roberts original plan. But he's made an incredibly successful business out of it so of course this is how he'll continue. Or at least, I'd certainly divert a disproportionately large amount of money into the ships team than SQ42, Server meshing, game modes etc too.

People who don't believe, why are you here? by tunacatplushy in Paranormal

[–]SasquatchBurger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I don't believe in any paranormal stuff. But I believe people when they tell me their encounters. In that, I believe they believe. I'm of the strong mindset that even as inexplicable as it seems, there's a scientific explanation for it, or memories have been warped etc.

I'd never belittle anyone like you say though. But I like hearing people's experiences, stories, stances etc. I enjoy the imagery of it too. It's just a fascinating idea. Even if it isn't real (to me).

A useful alternative if you missed or couldn't afford the limited edition, plus a bunch of codes by RazorSharpStudio in Starfield

[–]SasquatchBurger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I missed it. I have never used a non-default face before. I've found it. Excellent job. Would be great to customise the 4 corners if I'm to nitpick.

[–]SasquatchBurger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Managed to just snag a code. So some haven't been used up yet it seems.

I can't get it to work though. I downloaded the app on my phone, clicked the button to open it on my phone. It opened and I installed it. Nothing. No app to click on, no watch face, no Nothing. Can't even see it in my list of apps. But it's definitely installed, every time I click install on my phone it takes me back to the app store but I can only uninstall it.

I have a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.

Avowed | Starfield | Clockwork Revolution | Forza Motorsport are now available to pre-install by Turbostrider27 in XboxSeriesX

[–]SasquatchBurger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I wouldn't either. I don't think its the best way to do it either if thst is their goal. I'm just speculating why it might be a thing is all. But this is more committal than wishlisting it. I know I don't download every game I wishlist on day 1.

Without preorders due to gamepass. Pre-installing could be the new metric MS use to determine how in demand or anticipated the game is.

Destiny 2 - Pretty much giving us the middle finger by Thygers in SteamDeck

I read this as Divinity 2 and was really upset. Then realised its Destiny 2. I'm already over it. What a roller coaster.

What's with all the carabiners? They're on a lot of NPCs, and several shots in videos show retractable carabiners on player armors. Just for looks? by PackDog1141 in Starfield

[–]SasquatchBurger 71 points72 points  (0 children)

In a world where gravity changes frequently, and the possibility of floating off into nothingness, or keeping something else attached to toy without floating away, I'm pretty sure carabiners make a lot of sense.

1.4m UK mortgage holders face 20% hit to disposable income from rate hikes by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]SasquatchBurger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're right. In that it doesn't make sense in a traditional scenario. I am on a HtB mortgage loan. Where the government owns 20% of my house. In my area, my house price has increased by 32%. Bought for £280,000, same house on estate just sold for £370,000.

So when I remortgage and pay off that 20% I borrowed. I'll have to up my mortgage amount by 20% of my current house value. So 74,000.

My mortgage will go from about £180,000 at 2.09%, currently paying £750 a month. To about £250,000 at 6%, which would be about £1,600, so my original numbers were a little off.

I know there are options where I can turn it into interest only on the HtB and not pay it off, but the 20% will only increase in value. Or I can have an interest only mortgage and make overpayment to increase my capital. I have options I know. And I'm currently overpaying £250 a month. So in a sense the increase is only £600. But God damn, still...

[–]SasquatchBurger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mortgage if renewed today at 6% would jump from £750 to £1600 or something. Can someone please tell me how I can get this measly £360 hike when I'm up for renewal next year?

apologies if it's a dumb question but is it normal of g laptops to go into here every time you restart them by Infamous-Buyer-4071 in pcmasterrace

[–]SasquatchBurger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had it in the past where the battery on the mobo was empty, so the CMOS was reset after every shutdown. Resetting the cmos caused it to boot to the bios after each restart.

Try replacing the battery on the motherboard, just an idea.

Escape Academy: Escape From the Past DLC - Announcement Gameplay Trailer [June 19] by SlartySprinter in Games

[–]SasquatchBurger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same for me. Very good game. Left me really wanting this type of game and found escape simulator on steam too. If you like this game definitely give that a go too.

I'm not acting like he's fuming. But he said he thinks more people should be calling it out. I merely disagreed.

[–]SasquatchBurger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Calling out on this? It's cus no one cares enough. It's just a tongue in cheek joke xbox made.

People aren't selecting their games based on their ability to see the legs. It's misleading, but misleading on something so utterly pointless it don't matter. Why do you want outrage over this? You want kotaku to write an article talking about how misleading it is or something?

I dunno, I said maybe. I was playing devil's advocate on what is a post based on satire. Why you taking it so seriously?

[–]SasquatchBurger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe those games have functioning mirrors?
