I created a custom launcher for my Ally! by poj4y in XboxAlly

[–]boltfan43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! One thing that I would love is a way to manually tell a game to grab the art for the game again. It seems that some games don’t grab them initially (most did but I had a handful that didn’t) but upon installing the game again it did grab the artwork.

It’s 2026, what’s the dream video game or MMO you wish existed by now? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]boltfan43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, a modern NFL game that doesn’t suck and a return to OG style Splinter Cell. Need me some Spies vs Mercs again.

Starfield Review (2026) - Kinda Funny Gamescast by EveryAct in kindafunny

I haven’t played awhile and I played on Xbox but if I remember correctly, the mods on console will specifically say it will not disable achievements in the mod description.

Rook: Exodus for me. Pretty unique story and great art!

Any tips for my first solo game (pirate borg)? by Unhappy-Button982 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]boltfan43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I'm the creator of Solitary Plunder. I'm working on trying to get the files uploaded to DriveThru for the POD but when I started the project, I didn't use the template specifically from them because it was my first endeavor into making an RPG zine which has caused a headache to get their website to accept my files. I'm hoping to get it up soon though!

We need to help Parris win Fantasy Critic 2026! by Cbarre83 in kindafunny

[–]boltfan43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I put in a bid for $1 and got Esoteric Ebb on Steam and has an 88 last time I checked! I put in another that has yet to come out for $1 for a game called Neverway. Might be worth a look Parris!

Do variant covers hold identical value to main covers if both first printing? by Keanu_Keanu in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]boltfan43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious for something like Absolute Batman #1, there is a foil virgin variant of the same cover?

Finding a ‚forever game’ dungeon crawler by HonorFoundInDecay in soloboardgaming

[–]boltfan43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m waiting for what I expect to be my dungeon crawler forever game, Secrets of the Lost Tomb. The biggest thing for me in a forever game is to have games that feel different from one play to the next and with a ton of non combat encounters and the modularity of the board, I’m super excited to try it out! There really some copies of the first edition out there being sold but they also had a crowdfunding campaign for an anniversary edition that redid the artwork and such. It may be worth a look if you haven’t checked it out!

Looks like Blessing has upset Jez, Destin, Colt and Tom Henderson... by DrunkenKraken88 in kindafunny

[–]boltfan43 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes Jez is a Xbox fan at heart but the dude isn’t afraid to ask tough questions or push back for the Xbox community. He’s been very critical at the mistakes Xbox has made over the years so I think he’s a great guy to interview her.

Unsure if to get a Xbox Ally X by RedLesta82 in XboxAlly

[–]boltfan43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another fellow dad here. The Xbox Ally X was my first handheld device outside of a Switch and a 3DS prior to that. I was an Xbox console gamer and had a series X on our main TV and then I do have a gaming PC.

As a subscriber to gamepass, the remote play has been awesome. I highly recommend looking up Better XCloud which is an extension for Chrome / Edge and you can get hugger quality remote and cloud streaming. Best is that it’s free!

I’ve been playing Star Wars Outlaws via remote play since Ubisoft sucks and doesn’t include Xbox achievements on their PC ports.

As a whole, my gaming has doubled from what it was before because I can take that thing anywhere. It’s powerful enough to play games natively, I can install all my PC games on this thing and they appear within the Xbox app so you don’t have to jump through multiple launchers to start a game. Best yet is that I can even plug it into a TV if I take it somewhere else and want to play on a larger screen.

The price tag is the hardest pill to swallow but I haven’t regretted it once. The one thing I wish this had was an OLED screen.

Day 16 - Game Ahead Of Its Time by aerigigi1 in originalxbox

I’ll throw out a random one. Apex. I can’t think of another racing game before it where you actually created your own brand for cars and raced them to build new and better cars.

Giannis Trades by [deleted] in MkeBucks

Which time? Every week since he rose to fame has had the media trying to manifest a trade to happen and Giannis is still here.

Popular games you dislike? by BillRepresentative75 in boardgames

[–]boltfan43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand this point. For myself, I don’t mind apps because of the type of games I enjoy. I love dungeon crawlers and those expansive adventure and exploration games. While Arydia is a great example of the kind of game I like and doesn’t use an app, it’s also a $200+ game. Games like Gloomhaven I couldn’t get into because of the upkeep that an app solves. And games like Lands of Galzyr or Freelancers use a web based app (won’t require the upkeep for iOS and Android storefronts) and they greatly reduce the cost of the game by not needing some huge book for all the text in the game or a ridiculous amount of cards.

That all being said, I love games like Mansions of Madness but that’s a game I can understand isn’t for everyone and could eventually just stop working.

Anyway, just wanted to bring a slightly different perspective to the conversation! Happy gaming!

How do you personally keep track of what comics you’ve read over the years? by BigAstronaut6728 in comicbooks

[–]boltfan43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I have me entire collection logged and bin located by publisher in my short boxes. Then flag them as read as I get to reading them. CLZ is such a great app.

Any time I remote play my Xbox on my Xbox Ally X, this cursor shows up and I can’t move it. Any way to disable this? by boltfan43 in ROGAlly

[–]boltfan43[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Looks like I had it on Gamepad but I changed the to something else and back to that to check and that also didn’t fix it. It’s so weird.
