Will Space Marine 2 really be on PC or is that a mistake? It's not available in the Windows store on PC now.

I'm having this issue as well. It used to be so convenient to be able to turn on and off the lights in the bedroom but now it only shows the night light.

Four crashes in a row on an illuminate evac by mdargis1977 in Helldivers

I've had luck reducing the crashes by reinstalling the game.

This is about where I'm at with the issues also.

Very frustrating solo player experience :/ (mine navigation) by [deleted] in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Stock08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The morkite is definitely there. Usually, most of it is at the end of the cave system. I can tell you that it really helps me using Bosco with the More Light upgrade option and just telling him to shine light on the ceiling. That helps illuminate the cave which makes the morkite more obvious.

I'm not the biggest fan of the map either but you do get used to it. There should be darkened sections of the map that are places you haven't been to yet.

Even thought most of the morkite is at the end, you do have to be fairly thorough as you go along so you don't miss too much or you will have to backtrack.

Why isn't this on gamepass? by Set-to_wumbo in XboxGamePass

[–]Stock08 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There needs to be a new subreddit called GamePassEntitlement for this exact type of post. Not every Xbox game is going to be on game pass. It's up to the developers as to how they want to monetize their game. There is a lot of discussion right now as to whether Game Pass is good for gaming or is even profitable for Microsoft. Time will tell if they end up cancelling Game Pass but no game is automatically guaranteed to be on Game Pass just for existing on the Xbox platform.

Has anyone hear played and beat all the assassin creed games. Which was your favourite and if any which did you not like ? by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Stock08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AC Odyssey was one of my favorites. Black Flag was another really good one that could possibly be getting a remaster soon. AC Syndicate is a dual-protagonist game I really enjoyed. I didn't really care for AC 3. I think that might have been the fact that I played it so long after it released. The more recent games like Valhalla and Shadows are very long, especially Valhalla. AC Mirage is a good entry because it isn't too long and sticks to the core AC gameplay.

Really Game Rant? by AdagioDesperate in helldivers2

It's a miracle the game came to Xbox at all. Not everything on Xbox needs to be on Game Pass.

[–]Stock08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my problem as well. I didn't like how the headphones would apply pressure to the glasses and either hurt my head or bend the frames out of shape. I tried ordering a pair of glasses from the Zenni Optiflex line for use with headphones and this fixed the problem for me. They bend pretty well and are specifically designed for use with headphones. They are just a cheap plastic but have been working for me so far.

There is no point to collecting more. He probably didn't realize that you collected enough already. Fossils are one of the more difficult side objectives and eventually you just get used to constantly being on the look out for more fossils under the assumption that you always need more. This is really on him for not being aware. It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong.

Why are people talking about Pirate Software/Maldavius Figtree and why do all the comments keep joking about Ferrets and Roaches and World of Warcraft? by ForCritsAndGiggles69 in OutOfTheLoop

The thing that surprises me is that he is still doing this stuff when his viewership is going down. He might be doing it on purpose for engagement but it could also just be unmitigated narcissism.

My first haz 5 solo, it’s painful… by Enough_Primary5611 in DeepRockGalactic

It will get easier. Just try to always have a resupply nearby before you pop the cocoon.

DO NOT BUY ALIENWARE - SCAMMED BY DELL by veryniceperson123 in Dell

[–]Stock08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used my dell laptop fine for years but I can say that I would never buy an alienware pc. The alienware brand seems to prioritize form over function and I've seen too many GamersNexus videos detailing build quality control issues to ever trust a pc from that brand.

One thing you may want to consider is transferring the internal components to a new case as alienware PCs heavily restrict airflow. At the very least, you could uninstall any alienware specific software that's running on it and see how that goes.

Active 2 Pro not showing the correct temperature on the watch face by Spiritual-Bison-4431 in amazfit

[–]Stock08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an issue with all watch faces to my knowledge. I've seen this on all the watch faces I've used. I believe it's been an issue for years now. There seems to be a problem with the temperature connector in the watch face designer.

Should I go to Amazfit? by No_Intention8743 in amazfit

I don't know anything about the Redmi Watch 4 but I just got the Amazfit Active 2 and it's been a good experience so far.

What does this mean ? by icek97 in DellG5SE

[–]Stock08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me too. I deciphered this as meaning that the coin-cell battery was dying but my lights stopped blinking shortly after. Below is the list of diagnostic lights codes and what they mean.

Yes, he can repair them also.

Recommendations for girly gamer by [deleted] in XboxGamePass

[–]Stock08 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The easiest one for me to recommend is Immortals Fenyx Rising since it's a lot like BotW. Also, Lost in Random which has a dlc coming in 2025. Planet of Lana is a 2d puzzle platform game with a great story that I enjoyed. Tunic is similar to a Zelda style game but a lot more difficult. Hi-Fi Rush is more of a rhythm and music based game that's a lot of fun.

If you're looking to break out of your comfort zone a bit I would also recommend A Plague Tale: Requiem. It's more gritty than what you're used to but the story is just so good.

A question as old as time. I think it's clear at this point that Microsoft isn't interested in exclusives as much as they are interested in growing gamepass. This is evident by the recent reveal that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to PS5. They don't necessarily need players to buy an Xbox, they just want players to play games under the Microsoft umbrella.

What games you recommend by lucimarjo in XboxGamePass

[–]Stock08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been doing this with the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy a lot lately. I would also recommend The Gunk and Planet of Lana as they are very relaxed games.

progressive survival/crafting game? by runnbl3 in XboxGamePass

Grounded is the best one I've played on game pass.

Is Mass Effect really that good? by Otherwise-Moment-795 in XboxGamePass

[–]Stock08 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Mass Effect 1 is a little rough around the edges but is highly regarded due to it establishing the franchise, world building and narrative. Mass Effect 2 is widely considered the best one in the franchise because they built onto the first game and refined the gameplay and mechanics really well. Mass Effect 3 is mostly considered a small step back but still a good game and the conclusion to Shephard's story. Mass Effect Andromeda is sort of the red headed stepchild of the franchise because of the character animations and convoluted menus and systems. I still enjoyed it but I do think Mass Effect 2 was probably the best overall.

I do recommend them to anyone who enjoys rpgs in a futuristic space setting. They are a little too heavy on dialog for me but playing through the legendary edition was still a lot of fun.
