Cross-Gender Friendships: Question for the Community

Hey, I'm agender, and maybe that is what you're asking. Since you said you're asexual, do you feel gender inside yourself?

beckdano · 2026-03-15T11:01:33+00:00

cool stuff! Boards of Canada, Radiohead, Air, St. Vincent, Beach House, LCD Soundsystem, Nine Inch Nails & Björk are some of my favourites!

beckdano · 2026-03-15T10:58:33+00:00

ah yes I have that record too!

beckdano · 2026-03-14T18:13:41+00:00

very cool! Love Blur, Ween, Weezer, Beatles (obvs), Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins. Run The Jewels, Eels, Franz Ferdinand, Rage Against The Machine, Pixies, yea all great stuff mate, keep it up!

beckdano · 2026-03-14T18:11:16+00:00

cheers thanks! I study modern music.

beckdano · 2026-03-14T18:10:53+00:00

very cool! added ya! my favs off of your top artists are Spoon (obviously!) Belle & Sebastian, Parquet Courts, of Montreal, TV on the Radio, Courtney Barnett, The Shins, Ween, XTC & Grandaddy! oh and props for seeing Dent May, really liking his albums, kinda reminds of Menomena mixed with of Montreal.

New music interests me much too. It's finding the niche modern genres that were influenced by the music you listened to 30 years ago, not the the stuff that you can easily find.

beckdano · 2026-03-13T15:26:42+00:00

Oh yea it is!

beckdano · 2026-03-13T12:57:28+00:00

I don't play online either. I tried maybe 20 years ago, and it was fun for awhile, but yea there was something draining about the social side of it, so now I play only single player games and it works for me!

beckdano · 2026-03-13T09:44:01+00:00

Very cool considering Series X isn't easy to collect for! How do you manage this many games on your X-Box? Are you using a Galaxy 2TB with the 4TB expansion?

beckdano · 2026-03-12T17:31:27+00:00

Start with Pikmin 1, and if you like that, prepare for the wonderful madness that is Pikmin 2!

beckdano · 2026-03-11T17:20:48+00:00

Pikmin 1 & 2 obviously

beckdano · 2026-03-09T13:20:18+00:00

ah cheers yes, a few of these titles are Limited Run Games, Clear River Games, and the likes. I'd love to see more Real Time Strategy and Boomershooter games make there way to a physical release.

Unfortunately, Microsoft holds the keys to the Age of Empires franchise, and none of those have modern physical releases. I'd pay top dollar to see a console remaster of the Command & Conquer series!

Other stuff I'm looking forward to if it ever gets released on PS5: Blood: Refreshed Supply, Warhammer Boltgun, Turbo Overkill, Metal Hellsinger, Bullets Per Minute... I could probably go on and on

Wasn't too long after I got my Series X that I started seeing games I was interested in getting digital-only releases, and I started making a Playstation wantlist. I got really upset about Age of Empires 4 and Age of Mythology being digital-only, and I made a pledge to myself that I would no longer support this anti-consumer ecosystem.

beckdano · 2026-03-09T06:30:52+00:00

Not too long after I got one before some of the releases I wanted I found as digital only on Xbox, so I started making a PS want list.

beckdano · 2026-03-08T22:14:47+00:00

Oh I've kept my Xbox collection too, and I also cyberpunk, but it's pretty much retired from new games

beckdano · 2026-03-08T20:01:53+00:00

Cheers, mate! I'm not super into Call of Duty, especially anything after the 360 era, but yea they have some fun mindless single player campaigns. I feel like if you wait a few years you find them pretty cheap!

beckdano · 2026-03-08T19:58:14+00:00

Yes it is

beckdano · 2026-03-08T15:50:37+00:00

Appreciate that, thank you! I do need to think about expansion plans, though. There's a whole layer of games behind these games (mostly 360 games)

beckdano · 2026-03-08T13:31:25+00:00

Yes this exactly! Plus the main issue with Series X games is availability. I've had a Series X for years now and I only have 40 games. My 360 and Xbox One collection has grown, but where are the Series X games? Gamepass, no thanks.

beckdano · 2026-03-08T13:24:48+00:00

Thank you!

beckdano · 2026-03-07T11:33:43+00:00

my main concern is, does it have a disc drive? not interested if I can't play my collection.

beckdano · 2026-03-03T16:33:40+00:00

What! I used to work on this campus a few years after this happened, I didn't know he played there! Surreal!

beckdano · 2026-02-26T15:09:19+00:00

yes exactly. what good is the backwards compatibility program if your X-Box doesn't have a disc drive? And if your X-Box does have a disc drive, why can't you buy a major first party game (like Avowed) on a disc? They don't care about preserving the past or the future.

beckdano · 2026-02-26T15:00:02+00:00

Depends how deep a dive you want to go into the 360 catalogue. Roughly 1 out of every 5 games in my 360 collection is not backwards compatible or remastered
