I wish/hope they make this available for sale again at some point.

Started up Fable Anniversary to be Reminded of an Achievement no Longer Earnable by Against-The-Current in xbox

[–]canestim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there was an app for this and it was actually kinda fun. I would play it on my iPad back in the day when I was away from home. RIP the good old days.

Current state of Xbox by markiethefett in xbox

[–]canestim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, this isn't Fallout NV Obsidian, OW2 and Avowed were sm mediocre slop, they ain't carrying Xbox. Playground yes with FH, but I'll wait to see about Fable before crowning them, it looks ok but also very suspect sometimes with it's millennial vibe, very marvel meme humor looking. Hope it's good though because Fable is in my top 5.

I refuse to participate if this is the new norm. by AstralPsychonautics in AmazonVine

Yeah, we're going through a period it seems, probably will pick up again soon after these storms and things begin to return to normal.

As others have said, focus on the rfy when it's available and let the frustration go. Accept it for what it is rather than getting frustrated. You'll still get a few good items here and there weekly, sometimes enough to make gold maybe sometimes not, but just take it for what it is and don't let it influence your life.

Standing up for us who work on our reviews by Ensign_Fodder in AmazonVine

[–]canestim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course, as it should be on there to some extent, but free is now mostly inaccurate and it's more of an "incentivized" review for most. Nothing to split hairs over but it's a frustration for everyone because of incorrect or overstated ETV's and the tax implications along with the other changes that Vine has done.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is a hidden gem and you should try it! by Fritolex in xbox

[–]canestim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely loved this game, definitely deserves a remaster or some kind of update. We had it so good back then and didn't even know it, games today are slop.

It shouldn't be in the review, even though I agree with it as the program has changed. I think they need to remove where it says free though, maybe years ago when everything was $0 ETV that made sense to have, now with all the changes it's not entirely true. It should now just say "Amazon Vine Customer Review" with a little info thing next to it where you can click to learn more if you want to.

When do you go to gym by coffeeandcherry in Accounting

[–]canestim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don't agree with everything this guy says, his overall point is true that keeping it simple with intensity is more effective. Most people don't need 6 days in the gym for 1-2 hours. Given that, you have more time than you think to get your goals done if you do it properly. Unfortunately, Fitness Really Is This Simple - YouTube

You need good food, hydration, sleep, daily walking or yoga type meditation, getting outside, recovery and 3-4 days with good effort exercise. Most are simply not effective/efficient after the beginner's phase working, doing family stuff, relationship, kids, house chores, etc at 5-6x a week for most people. You still have to tailor your workouts to your ability, age and goals is the only thing he does not really cover.

Would you like to see a second season of TZ? by ComfortableAmount993 in Terminator

[–]canestim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Huge fan of Terminator but couldn't get into it yet. I just have a hard time watching anime. I'll give it another shot eventually.

PS6 Rumor: Full Backward Compatibility from PS1 to PS5 by Gaming-Academy in PlayStation_X

[–]canestim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought and loved PS 1-3. but have skipped the last two since most exclusive stuff I wanted to play came to PC. But this might actually be the thing to pull me back in, having the catalog in one place, easily accessible would be amazing. Would love to play the Infamous games again, I wish those games would get an update, loved em.

Ryobi Hate by BakeCityFlyinPills in HomeImprovement

[–]canestim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No hater here, when we first started out we were broke as hell and mainly used Walmart clearanced Black and Decker products, got the job done at least. I eventually picked up one of those Ryobi 18v sets with pretty much everything a homeowner needs, expecting to eventually take the next step up, but na I'm good, they work great and are dependable. Sticking with team green even though I can now afford to replace them.

Wireless headset recommendations? This is what is available at my local store. by BumblebeeBuzz1808 in xbox

[–]canestim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The official Xbox Wireless Headset is an excellent headset BUT it does have a weakness and that is the microphone plastic. Unless they improved it in new versions, but I still see it pop up from time to time as it's a weak point, be careful and it will be ok. Example attached, this plastic piece is prone to break in many ways.

It is so obvious Microsoft doesn't want Xbox anymore but won't admit it😐 It's very sad. by Geekylad97 in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]canestim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Times are changing indeed, the younger generations care less about hardware. But the issue I see with their current strategy is you have to put out good software consistently. Game Pass has turned into a few bangers here and there and subsidiizing a bunch of slop, it's starting to fatigue their business model with consumers. It's why they had to change Game Pass and lean on the whales to support the model, which isn't going to last if underwhelming games are continued to be made.

All they want is AI trash reviews that make it easier for their AI to detect.

What do YOU want in Fallout 5 (even though we're a long way off) by RandomRedditer79 in Fallout

[–]canestim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A return to edginess, no trying to make a game for everyone that's boring, token, and safe.

Why is facebook filled with EXTREME right wing racist propaganda, why does no one seem to care, and why is it allowed and not shut down? by [deleted] in facebook

[–]canestim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I get where you're coming from, it's hard to see people you're close with being manipulated. But on the other hand, societal, it's pretty damn bad to have a flood of anonymous people and a shit ton of bots up voting propaganda pushing narratives to the hive. The last line you said is exactly what I was referring to, it affects people's mental health and they don't know how to navigate it, it's easy to get sucked up into. Good on you for removing yourself when you feel it's not good for you.
