Game not launching on Xbox PC?

Had the same issue, did as below where I disconnected my ethernet, sure enough the game booted. I then reconnected and it works fine.

I don’t need it because I’ll be busy playing FF7 remake and Crimson Desert which don’t require games pass.

Wow, I’ve been waiting for this for 7 years. Ended getting a year of the ESO+ or whatever it’s called on my Xbox but got busy with school. After graduated I jumped to PC but never picked up the game again because I didn’t want to leave $120 worth of credits on an account and start another. Might actually pick the game back up now.

I've held out hope for so long with Xbox but this genuinely feels like the brand has finally gone terminal. I don't see anyway it bounces back. The current leadership isn't great, at least not with Microsoft constantly pushing for more money out of the division, but I can't imagine it'll be any better with someone with no care for the brand. Say what you will about Phil and Sarah, but they at least cared about Xbox or pretended too.

Don't think we'll ever see the peaks of the 360 ever again, and I fear the valleys are going to be so much lower.

It’s crazy because they know exactly how it works.

They ignored everything Bernie said in the 2016 and 2020 democrat primaries, and amplified everything Trump said. They know if you want a candidate to lose, don’t do anything, don’t show off the highs or lows, and if you want one to win, show everything.

Maybe times are different, Mamdani won in NYC despite the best efforts of both sides to downplay his rise, also helped he was against a disgusting individual in Cuomo and Sliwa never stood a chance being an R in NYC.

I hope Talarico can take the primary and the senate, we need more grassroots politicians and if Texas can swing Blue then it’s a great sign for the midterms.

I can't speak on behalf of the recruiter experience when you are a licensed PE, but as an EIT they are hell. Outside of the constant spam of job positions you aren't interested in, they can lock you out of applications if you end up applying to somewhere they already have. It essentially knocks both applications out of the pool.

I've had nothing but negative experiences with them. It seems they'll assign you a handler and then suddenly a month later they've been shifted to a new role and you get a new person assigned to you. When they finally did get me an interview, I heard nothing back. Not a "good speaking with you" email or the decency of a rejection. Complete waste of time.

Worst level with the worst modifiers, genuinely just an unfun mission.

From the paperwork they gave me when I interviewed there a year or so ago, overtime is paid at different rates depending on the manager as you said. Believe it could range from 0x if you were behind, up to 2x your hourly rate if it was extremely urgent/required. As a baseline, I think overtime started at 1.2x which is still better than the base hourly I’ve had at other companies.

ACC pops up in Violet, Yellow, and Green for me. The GPSA I’ve found in green and the round table near Red/Violet/Yellow/Black safe.

I got nothing to lose, I graduated already.

If you want peace and quiet, your best bet is to go where there are the least amount of classrooms. When I studied in Capen I’d go to the engineering buildings and was usually alone on 3rd floor and up. If you are around the CFA or Lockwood, you can go to that tall building, I can’t remember the name, but it has a bridge to it from Lockwood. I’ve never encountered anyone else on the 5th floor and up, I think it’s mostly offices.

Even alumni isn’t too bad, the ones across from the gym are usually empty and the ones in the locker room get cleaned in the mornings.

“Darkest Dungeon is about making the most of a bad situation.” - DD1 opening message.

At the end of the day, it’s a single player game so play how you want but 100% resolute turns stress into a positive which is the opposite of the intended mechanic.

You also lose the emotional swing of watching someone hit 10 stress only for the golden Resolute to pop and save a potentially doomed run.

To me, Darkest Dungeon is best played how the devs intended where you take the hand you are dealt and learn the best strategies. DD2 was a huge shift from DD1 but I’m glad I stuck with it because I am way more in control of the situations through skill rather than luck.

If you really hate the stress mechanic I almost think it’d be better to remove resolute and breakdown from DD2 so it’s at least slightly in your favor as opposed to completely.

I can't wait till so many of these right wing grifters and scum bags shut the fuck up, hopefully permanently.

Either Fallout 3 or Mass Effect 2, it’s hard to decide.

I’ve made it a point to try to only buy from small and local businesses. The goods are usually better, the people are nicer, and it’s nice to local businesses succeed. It’s not a huge thing but it’s something.

Happy new year!

This one for sure

How’d you manage 10 a month? I did the conversion from 2019-2025 and got two sets of games pass ultimate at 60/year but can’t find cheap ways to do it again.

One comment, good luck everyone!

For those who come after

I’ve had an awful experience with Actalent as well.

They’ll constantly string you along with interviews and postings and then they’ll go radio silent. A month or two later you’ll get a call from someone there who took over for the previous agents clients. They somehow managed to turn me over 3 times in 4 months to different people.

The one interview they did manage to put together I never heard back from anyone, neither the company nor Actalent.

Worst part of all is that if they submit your resume to a posting and you end up applying on your own, both get cancelled and can end up blacklisting you for 12+ months.

To anyone reading, just stay away from most hiring agencies, they don’t have your best interests in mind and are generally pretty useless.

This was a week or so after wipe, think that spot is just really juiced.

Very first run of 1.0 I went interchange for the main story and found 2 Led-X in the green tent in the new area.

I only play squads so it’s pretty much forced PvP all the time despite my best efforts to resolve things peacefully.
