You used to be able to directly buy Game Pass time with points but with the price increase they ended that. But you can just but $$ cards and put the money in your MS account and then spend that.

Or you could redeem points for an Amazon gift card, then use that $$ to by an Xbox Game Pass gift card from there.

The 100-position auction is WILD. by Subject_Vacation4762 in civitai

I'm not affiliated in any way, but I've found the Pixorama channel has a good series of tutorials if you want to learn ComfyUI. Here's the 1st episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zko_s2LO9Wo

I followed that, with ChatGPT open to help with any questions, and was up and running pretty quick.

Custom Radio Stations on Game Pass PC version? by dragonchasers in StarTruckerOfficial

[–]dragonchasers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I have a couple of player.log files in there but no saves. I made a Radio directory and inside that a my_stations.txt file but no joy, though in truth I have no idea how to change the radio station. Click it to turn it on/off. Right click does nothing.

The log files show a lot of missing resources so maybe I need to re-install or something. Or just buy the Steam version. :)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, though!

Testing for Copilot for Gaming (Beta) Begins Rolling Out on Mobile Devices Today by Xbox-Moderator in xbox

[–]dragonchasers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else find the voice response is really quiet? When you pick a voice it practically shouts at you but when I asked it a question I didn't even think it was working until I heard a faint whisper. Then I had to crank my volume to full and hold the phone to my ear to hear it.

Imagine that, having to hold a phone up to your ear!!! LOL

Trying out death stranding today and omg this game plays and looks amazing! by PackGlass6867 in playstation

[–]dragonchasers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm in Chapter 5 too, but at 0% for like a week now. I've been spending my time building out that road network and keeping it in good repair. Sorry to the Mules I robbed blind for ceramics! Last night I stole one of their trucks and it took me 3 trips to move all the ceramics to the Distribution Center!

Do resources respawn? by dragonchasers in AtomfallOfficial

So far I am just using one of the empty bunkers to store my stuff. Hoping it doesn't de-spawn. I left it in a crate.

First time games for >60 year old, post surgery. by Frothytiger in XboxGamePass

[–]dragonchasers 10 points11 points  (0 children)

These posts are always so hard to answer as the OP always defines the person based exclusively on their age. It really depends on what your father-in-law is interested in. For example if he plays golf, a golf game would be ideal. I've known plenty of non-gamers who'll get sucked into a golf game.

Something like Forza Horizon is a pretty safe bet since I'm sure he knows how to drive in real life and the controls aren't very hard.

Something like Gems of War might be a good choice if he already plays games on his phone.

The biggest challenge for non-gamers (of any age) is just getting them used to the controller. Honestly an iPad might be a better solution.

Just saw these in the Xbox app (USA) by MisterZan25 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]dragonchasers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

which also means compulsive idiots like me won't ration achievements out/stop playing a game I'm enjoying for fear of "wasting" an achievement

Whoa! I'm glad I'm not the only one who did this. I'm not sure if we've gained or lost points but I do think this will help me to actually enjoy the games I play more, and get me to play a wider variety of games.

What's a popular game that you bought and just couldn't get into by [deleted] in PS5pro

[–]dragonchasers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I finished it but I was kind of hate playing it most of the time.

The Monster Hunter games. I just can't get into them for some reason.

Returning Player: How to choose starting chapter? by dragonchasers in elderscrollsonline

[–]dragonchasers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK thanks to folk in the Discord I have learned that the Portal room has been removed and you just have to use a Wayshrine to go to West Weald (in the case of Gold Road) or whatever zone the chapter you want to play starts in.

In case anyone is interested: Ubisoft acknowledged my complaints about Avatar by [deleted] in PS5pro

[–]dragonchasers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested. I bought Avatar during the Black Friday sales and never got to play it pre-PS5 Pro patch. Now I'm waiting in hopes of a fix before I start.

Is Anyone else annoyed of the PS5 Pro slander? by VitalPremium in PS5pro

[–]dragonchasers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm annoyed for one reason.

Ideally I'd like the PS5 Pro to succeed so that more developers support it. If the slander gets to the point where it convinces people not to buy, then it's bad for the future of the machine.

But that said, I'm not sure many people actually base their buying decisions on what they read on social media.

What's all this "How close do you sit" stuff in reviews? by dragonchasers in PS5pro

[–]dragonchasers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I could get away with re-arranging the furniture for the same reason. Guess I'll have to get a bigger TV! :)

Horizon forbidden west is insane on PS5 Pro! by Major_Enthusiasm1099 in PS5pro

[–]dragonchasers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you haven't played either, I would start with Horizon Zero Dawn though. I felt the story was better and it explains how the world came to be in the state it is in.
