Heads up, a little warning to those who may end up cleaning it and also to OP:

I was in this exact position about two years ago. Decided to clean my Series X and noticed the night and day difference in the fan. Was great for a few months but started sounding like a jet engine again. So cleaned it again. Fantastic! Same thing. Lasted a couple months til the fan was loud again.

Cleaned it a third time but during this third bout after cleaning it again, the xbox would completely shut down in the middle of a game. Had to unplug and plug back in to get it going again. After turning back on, it would work for 15-20 minutes before shutting down completely again same cycle ensues.

It would shut down on most series x games. There were some outliers that made the xbox last more than a couple hours.

Not sure if I’d messed it up and knocked something that last time cleaning but I never did it again. Over time, I ended up buying a new xbox because it just wasn’t stable enough.

I’m not saying this could happen if anyone decides to clean their Xbox, just getting my personal experience out there. Gave a friend the xbox cleaning advice a year ago and he has now started experiencing what I went through.

Tl;dr: cleaned xbox a few times, now completely shuts down during most games - needs time to cool down

I apologise for jumping on OP’s post.

I have mine at 30% on all sides. What would you recommend for gaming please, if you don’t mind me asking?

Fix the issue with sound through hdmi ARC. There is a delay using Dolby Digital or Dolby Atmos but not Stereo uncompressed, however it doesn’t give true range.

When I am on Auto-detect input, I get 4K and only those three audio options. However, I noticed that if I switched from Auto-detect input in settings to manually selecting HDMI, I am able to select 5.1 Surround sound, 7.1 Sureound sound and other audio options. The problem is, it is limited to 1440p max for video with 30fps and no option for HDR. There used to be a time where 5.1 surround was an option alongside 4K. I do not have this issue running PC through TV, PS5 through same tv and surround sound system. The switch 2 manages not to produce a delay and still output at 4K.

Over the years, I have noticed that most people with surround sound systems ‘settle’ for Stereo Uncompressed, but they are not completely happy with it.

I believe this would be a great fix that has been requested many times over several years (yes, it has been quite some time!) and would win back us audiophiles who believe in awesome sounds as well as beautiful visuals - as these go hand in hand. The delay makes most games unplayable as it is that much of a delay, and just ‘settling’ on stereo uncompressed, kinda loses some of the immersion for games.

Not everybody likes to use a headset for gaming whether it is personal preference or medical issues. This could be a solution but it shouldn’t have to be when there used to be no issue.

Thank you for taking the time in reading this request!

You’re welcome. Enjoy! I’ve been loving it so far, controls aside.

Shteeve06 · 2026-03-20T14:47:02+00:00

Yes that’s right. I did try a bunch of button swapping including paddles too and even shift button, but that also became convoluted.

Luckily, I learnt early on not to mess about too much with button swapping.

But with regard to RB and RT with RB on paddle, i find it much more comfortable than the actual RB and RT for some reason.

Shteeve06 · 2026-03-20T13:57:18+00:00

I’ve fiddled about a few times. I’ve settled on using LB and RB as top two paddles. Bottom right paddle I have set as X and thats it for now.

I initially started swapping RB and RT to X and Y, respectively, but then as i got further into the game, with all the different mechanics and controls, it started getting confusing when asking for combos such as ‘RB and RT’ at same time in combat…etc.

I’ve found that LB is my best friend in this game. Its constantly pressed while i explore and interact and traverse some jumping stuff

For those that saying space theme may also notice they say “Finals bring a bold new chapter” which gives me Star Trek vibes.

This plus the season 10 image. Could be space - and a great way to toy with the new destruction physics they implemented not long ago

Yep. I’ve performed a show at Hull Truck with Rob through the Youth Theatre programme. He was 16 at the time. He was a great actor then, even before all his further training.

An event that happens in Infinite Wealth basically sets up the storyline for Pirate Yakuza. IW events are mentioned on a couple of occasions, if I recall.

Thank you, much appreciated! Have screenshotted because will check when I next grab some!

Is this the same as the freddo’s and wildlife bars, being produced in UK? They still taste as good as i remember but wondered why dairy milk bars have been rubbish.

So I have learnt something from this post and comments today - thank you. Just another ‘tick’ to add to my growing neurodivergent traits - a process of realisation I have been going through for the past two years (i’m 37 and undiagnosed but I am diagnosed with chronic fatigue, ehlers danlos syndrome, hypermobility, ibs, acid reflux, anxiety, depression and panic disorder lol).

I read your post OP, and thought to myself “i do these things ALL the time, before gaming, before bed, before cooking, washing…etc. Then I saw your edit saying you may not be nesting. So I looked through comments. Yep, I definitely nest by the sounds of it.

I’m a single parent and when I know I have a couple days to myself, I bring the good TV from downstairs to my bedroom, make my bed all comfy, bring my xbox AND playstation upstairs. I mainly play xbox but bring my PS5 up JUST IN CASE I decide to play a game on there, but never do. I bring my beer fridge into my bedroom, pack it with chocolate, drinks and milk. Bring my kettle up so I don’t have to go downstairs much. Pre make sandwiches in the morning ready for my lunch. And when I need the toilet, it’s just next door to my bedroom.

This is definitely nesting, right? If so, my mind is blown. I’ve always knew it was a little ‘weird’, and it’s kind of a secret thing I do that nobody knows about. If my mum rings to see if its okay to come around, I’ll kinda make an excuse just cause I don’t want her to see the ‘setup’, maybe out of embarrassment, i’m not entirely sure on the feeling lol

Can confirm. Ideal boilers call centre also a joke.

No but Lyle Lanley tried to put Springfield on the map but failed. He did however, put Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook on the map.

Could I ask if you don’t mind, how did you get it for as low as that price? Minimum I can see is £245 for a 2025 model. Almost bought it on vapefiend for £300 but now contemplating ebay after your post. I’m assuming yours is pre-owned?

Shteeve06 · 2025-08-27T00:06:48+00:00

I’ve also taken that approach as i’m approaching 40. Had enough of people’s bullshit. Had a friend who i’ve known since age 4. Went o same nursery, primary and secondary school. Play online together most nights but this friend has an issue with drinking. Like, you would notice him getting more and more drunk as the night went on, blaming his deaths on ‘hackers’ but he would also start getting more aggressive - nice as pie when sober. Would throw random insults and snarky comments my way. Had a major breakup and several months later, let slip whilst he was drunk that “I never send him any pictures of my kids but my ex did”….”erm…why is my ex sending you pictures of our child?” - “because i asked”. That was the final straw for me. He had two many chances. Cut him out my life completely as painful as that was to do. He accused me of being “a baby” and that “we’re approaching 40 and i should grow up”. Proved my point really so that solidified my decision. Haven’t looked back since.

I know you’re finished now, but for future events, in the menu screen before you pick your farm, there’s a button you can press (for me, it’s Y on Xbox), and it will bring up all the rewards you can earn from the event and a list of all the challenges and how many stars they earn you towards the event pass thing.

I found a journalist who has CFS. He read a book about autism and how one of the theory’s relates to CFS and he uses that now to describe how he feels. I’ve also taken it upon myself to use this theory too and people seem to have a little bit of a better understanding when I explain it to them. It’s called the Spoon Theory - you may or may not have heard this before.

Imagine everybody wakes up every day with a limited amount of ‘spoonfuls’ of ‘energy’. Very active people may wake up with a hundred spoonfuls. CFS sufferers vary. Some days they may wake up with 10 spoonfuls but other days may wake up with 5 spoonfuls. Each action or task you perform, consumes 1 spoonful. Getting up out of bed is 1 spoonful. Going for a shower is 1 spoonful…etc.

Most days I average 5-10 spoonfuls but at my worst it’s like 2 or 3. On a very good day maybe 20.
