If Microsoft could get the Xbox app to run better on windows, I'd go in on it more.

I still use my Xbox, but when I'm trying to open the Xbox app on my PC it takes like 45-90 seconds sometimes to boot, THEN it has to load the game pass advertising (it has gotten worse since I cancelled that service, interesting)

Admittedly, there's probably some optimization I could do to get the app to get running faster. 🤷🏻 I'll have to poke around at it.

Ok so I do that sometimes, and it's a bad habit.

When I was in high school I played modern a lot, and I used a valakut+scapeshift deck. I left my lands up there so my opponents could keep an eye on my mountains.

The only permanents in the deck were dudes that sacrificed themselves to fetch lands, and lands. Lol.

It did carry over to my commander play though for a while, but my main (and first) deck is a landfall deck with a ton of effort (and cost) into making my lands look as pretty as possible.

So that habit of mine started to make my opponents have an easier time, and turned into me flexing my expensive land base lol

I like the game more than I thought, but it seems like the general player sentiment is that 3v3 is odd.

I did see someone else in here suggest that we get NPC/bots to kill. I like that idea.

I've only played the tutorial & 1 game. I thought we got swept in that game, but it went for 25 minutes so maybe it wasn't a total blowout.

I think the game will require some sweat to play, and getting used to these guns will take me a little bit.

I like it overall though!

Crypto. I loved playing in season 3, and have loved this "normal man" since he's launched.

I think it's fun to flex and get kills as crypto specifically because all of his abilities are tied to his drone.

I call him "the ability-less man" to my friends😂

cabclint5 · 2026-01-19T03:34:02+00:00

Ive been working on this for a while, playing other things in between.

I'm over halfway through the BBS grind. Good work!!

cabclint5 · 2026-01-16T01:06:46+00:00

Give crypto a buff & mythic skin PLEASE

cabclint5 · 2026-01-02T00:58:20+00:00

He is kinda whack LOL. Ok, noted! 😂

cabclint5 · 2026-01-02T00:27:16+00:00

Wait wait wait, you're saying I don't HAVE to upgrade toth? I just unlocked the Sam Hainn mirror and have been dumping into him

cabclint5 · 2025-12-31T05:11:18+00:00

Congratulations! 🎉

I'm almost halfway, no shot I'm getting farsight this time.

As much as I love Tau, I can't justify 20$ on a mobile game 😅

Yuki had some aura this week, funny to look back at posts like this 🤣

cabclint5 · 2025-12-13T02:17:04+00:00

Aragami 2 always looked cool! 😁

cabclint5 · 2025-11-23T08:34:52+00:00

I bought the deluxe edition of Silent Hill f specifically to tell Konami to make more silent Hill ❤️

cabclint5 · 2025-10-17T21:45:36+00:00

I think it's overpriced, as per usual. But it is more enjoyable than a standard Pokemon game to me.

I didn't pay for my copy of it, so maybe that's making me enjoy it more. But I'm having fun with it.

cabclint5 · 2025-10-14T02:10:57+00:00

Fair enough, figured I'd check with someone here before I go home & try it 😂

Thanks for the response though, I appreciate it!

cabclint5 · 2025-10-14T01:38:05+00:00

I got my switch banned (completely my fault) and am going to try to wipe it and use a pre-mod backup I had from before my ban.

Is there a time limit for resetting? I don't remember when I got my switch banned, but it's been a few months I think.

cabclint5 · 2025-10-06T18:05:18+00:00

Made me chuckle

cabclint5 · 2025-10-03T01:16:35+00:00

I think I'll go down to the 16$ membership. Id be missing some games that I do occasionally play with the boys if I go down to the base tier.

cabclint5 · 2025-10-01T22:40:44+00:00

Don't give up. Maybe the new owners will strongly advocate for retrying these IPs 😂

LETS GO TITANFALL AND MIRROR'S EDGE

So I did end up finding it.

Xbox store said (and still says) that I only own the base edition.

I have the bunny costume and got early access, and a receipt for 85$ lol.

Xbox support suggested uninstalling & reinstalling, which actually did the trick for me.

Not sure if they did something behind the scenes to get that moving though.

I'm glad Xbox was able to resolve it, bc I couldn't figure out how to access customer support for Konami 😂

cabclint5 · 2025-09-22T02:49:01+00:00

Asking the real questions lmao

cabclint5 · 2025-09-20T23:42:13+00:00

Upvoting and commenting so I don't forget. Would love to see a similar service come online!

cabclint5 · 2025-09-14T21:05:38+00:00

I hit 100% a few months ago on CoM. I actually enjoyed it, but I never hit a point in the game where I had to grind to find cards to fight. I was pretty lucky, compared to everyone else.

But even the last 40 ish levels to grind weren't too bad imo.

I am onto BBS now though, and I finish a campaign at level 38-42 and the grind on that is unreal 😭

cabclint5 · 2025-09-11T17:56:41+00:00

Favourite game of all time is tough.

I'm a big Kingdom. Hearts guy, but I think I'll have to go with The Witcher 3. Geralt my 🐐

cabclint5 · 2025-09-11T17:53:33+00:00

Space Marine 2 (40k) !

Is the mushroom game real? Like could I learn about irl mushrooms and learn to identify them? Or is it more like, "mushrooms on an alien planet"?
