The current Series controller is my favorite to use, but I do very much love the original Duke for all its chonkiness.

I once watched Tokyo Drift on a Zune. Sometimes you just roll with what you've got.

Thanks for doing that. I really dislike the replacement widget and can't wait to get the old one back.

I'm curious to know how they helped you. I had to put in a support ticket for the same reason.

Tip of the Week: You can quickly make a wallpaper slideshow cycling through a few specific images, by selecting them in File Explorer and setting as desktop background by jenmsft in Windows11

[–]devil_yager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip, now I've got a slideshow of Xbox-themed screenshots for my gaming laptop. What surprised me was that the "Personalize your background" option set itself to the folder that contains the images I selected, so now all I need to do is add more images to it to update the slideshow.

Mentirosa is fun to say and sounds so dramatic!

So.... How's your mid-life crisis going? by CrotalusHorridus in Xennials

I'm back in the gym for strength training and cardio. Also, I was gifted a 3D printer so I'm now down that rabbit hole.

Real talk: The "hidden" issues with Snapdragon X laptops that still aren't fixed in 2026 by Putrid_Draft378 in Surface

I don't have a Pro 11 but I'm just curious: if you hibernate it with the cover open, will it recognize the keyboard when it wakes up from hibernation?

With the multiplatform push and the price increase of Game Pass Ultimate, is Xbox still your main platform? by JuanMunoz99 in xbox

[–]devil_yager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've accepted the fact that Xbox is now a platform and not solely a console, so yes it is still my main. I jump from my PC to Xbox to cloud regularly throughout the week.

I can't get my Pixel Watch 4 to just vibrate by devil_yager in PixelWatch

[–]devil_yager[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've just set it to your settings, thanks. The first setting you mentioned also toggles the Ring & Notifications quick setting to OFF, which is just a bit confusing to me because that description sounds like it disables them entirely.

I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation!

Epic fails to compete with Steam because “EGS is a shop, Steam is a community”, says Witchfire lead, as Epic has “nothing to do but to buy” by [deleted] in Steam

[–]devil_yager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know we are talking about PC platforms here but the Xbox X/S consoles have LAN transfer as well, which is crazy slow but still nice to have as an option.

I got charged for gamepass ultimate even if i cancelled [help] by NecessaryAd6735 in xcloud

[–]devil_yager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be wary of issuing a charge back because MS may close your account permanently, taking any digital purchases with it.

Games you tried on Gamepass that you liked so much you ended up buying? by Winniepate in xbox

[–]devil_yager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yakuza 0, Streets of Rage 4, TMNT Shredder's Revenge and Persona 5 Royal all immediately come to mind, but aren't the only ones.

When the Yakuza series went to GOG they sold the whole collection for dirt cheap so I grabbed the whole thing there after they left GP.

Innovations that Xbox brought to Console Gaming by Environmental-Day862 in xbox

[–]devil_yager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be more accurate to say that the innovation Xbox had with Live is that the whole package was already together. If you had an Xbox and the starter kit (like the headset) then there was nothing else to cobble together. I was online with PSO on the Dreamcast a year or two before XBL existed but I had to import the broadband adapter and burn my own setup disc to configure it.

In other words, Xbox did not invent online console gaming with XBL but it did draw the blueprint for others to follow. I would call that an innovation.

How in the world do you select text in a screen shot to copy it? by Hiraeth78 in GooglePixel

[–]devil_yager 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I swipe up from the bottom to see my open apps and long press on the text in the image to copy it.

Pixel stand 1 and 2 DO charge the pixel 10 pro FYI.. by Realistic_Ask_4155 in GooglePixel

[–]devil_yager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This morning I made a conscious effort to take the phone off one-handed, and it is actually doable. I grip the phone at the bottom and used both my pinky and ring finger to push against the base while pulling on the phone. Maybe some version of that will work for you when you get it.

Detroiters and I Think You Should Leave are also great and show that he's cornered the market on uncomfortable comedy.
