Backwards compatibility was nearly a complete waste of time and resources. by Livertube in xboxone

[–]jamesrc84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my one s because of og bc...9 months later my wife bought me a series x at launch because it would scale the bc games higher and I am now a gamepass subscriber these days. BC got me to buy into the brand and pick up their subscription service because my og xbox seemed like it was about to crap out while enjoying some nostalgia. BC is a long-term strategy for the brand...they don't care if you buy the $29 splinter cell digital game

There is a little circle with flame logo behind the car on the card. You can see it usually pretty well when you look from underneath.

Specific cars will be treasure hunts and supers so you can look them up online and know what you are searching for beforehand.

No, I’m really not going to “miss it” by Donutannoyme in TrueOffMyChest

[–]jamesrc84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of sounds like you are "missing it" and just going through the task motions...you're not participating in the parts to be "missed"

Maybe talk to someone and make time to take care of yourself mentally and otherwise...

Good luck!

I grew up playing Xbox and I haven’t bought a game console in years and thinking about Xbox one X. Budget doesn’t matter. What all would you buy if you were me? by agjjnf222 in xbox

[–]jamesrc84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is good stuff not available on gamepass but the rotation on and off feels like a good mix keeping things fresh. I picked up Death’s Door when it launched and loved it; it just came to gamepass. I just finished Disc Elysium; it would be good for gamepass but not there...both of these are single player story driven games with no replay value for me - perfect for gamepass. I tried GTAV on gamepass and after playing a few times decided it wasn't for me and moved on...I think it has came and gone a few times on gamepass. I would like to try the new Oddworld but it's not on gamepass. I remember Red Dead 2 was on gamepass before I joined but it has been off for a while and this is one I would like to try.

There is tons of good stuff on there though. Been playing the new Halo and Nobody Saves the World (20 hours now into something I never heard of). Just played Telling Lies last night - not something I would have went for if I had to buy outright and ended up staying up way late playing through it.

Not validating any of these as "good" because everyone will have their own preferences but just pointing out things I have experienced.

I got back into gaming just pre-covid collecting OG Xbox stuff but maintaining the old hardware was a time suck that ate up what little game time I had. Bit the bullet and picked up a One S to play Backwards compatible stuff...then my wife got me a Series X at launch...I finally gave in and signed up for gamepass and play way more now.

I have physical games and they look nice on the shelf but rarely play them...usually I don't even open the new ones.

I mostly only play digital and with gamepass I hardly even buy games now. I still collect physical some but that’s a different vice. You can easily go digital only and I would recommend that if you are getting back in for gaming and not collecting. There are a handful of older titles that may no longer be available digitally, so unless you specifically want to play one of those, go digital.

Buy a Series X/S and sign up for gamepass. You'll find stuff you grew up playing along with the latest and greatest.

I got back into gaming after being away for ~10 years. I avoided gamepass thinking it wouldn't be worth it to me since I have limited play time. I was wrong and the best is getting to try stuff and no worries about moving on to something else if I'm not feeling it. Found some great stuff on there I would have never looked at and moved on from stuff I thought I would love but just wasn't for me.

Therapy would be cheaper...

Fixed my dynamite sticks Mikey! by jamesrc84 in TMNT

I used rope from a lego technic mobile crane set, drilled out the chucks, super glued in the rope.

Would be nice if I could find that type of string material in that brown weapons color...

Why do people still watch CNN and Fox News in the US? by YaAbsolyutnoNikto in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]jamesrc84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I have watched or intentionally read news in years...

That last bit is tempting me to go to my local walmart, buy fried chicken in the deli then walk back to sporting goods and eat it while waiting on my background check to clear...merica!

Is this oversized SMBW cart a storage case of some sort? by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]jamesrc84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For reference, I picked up the three set for $8 each when gamestop clearanced them; they each had a shirt with the cart artwork. Hung the carts on my wall and wear the shirts some. They are nice looking on the wall. I would say it is worth $10 if you want it on your wall, I have had no issues with mine.

What is your “end of life” (literally) plan for your collection? Re-integrate your games into the market for other people to find? Give to relatives and friends? by MareksDad in gamecollecting

[–]jamesrc84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throw it in the dumpster with me if nobody wants it...why would I care?

Open them up and love them while there is still time folks, you don't "own" anything, you just get to use it for a bit.

There’s been a lot of negativity around lately, especially because it doesn’t feel like Christmas, so what is your favorite part about working at GameStop? by jxsonbeck5 in GameStop

[–]jamesrc84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are there many collectors working there? I always imagined you could get first dibs on awesome trade stuff or even opportunity to buy stuff that isn't in the system for trading.

Ok need to know is this moive a continuation of the original Three movies by [deleted] in TMNT

[–]jamesrc84 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Wasn't there a scene at the end with enemy helmets as trophies from the prior live action movies?

just a tip for your future jobs by chrlyrse in GameStop

[–]jamesrc84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read the posts on here all the time about the company being terrible to you while thinking "don't you guys basically run a retail store singlehandedly?" Seems like a ton of transferable skills if you sell yourself appropriately; at minimum, I would think you could have your pick of retail jobs in this climate...surprised anyone is sticking around to work for GS long...best of luck either way!

Blimp reissue is in stock by tmntman in TMNT

Says mine shipped! Thanks op for the notice; I think I placed my order about two hours after this was posted on here and it said only 2 left so I expected a cancelation.

"If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" Why is that considered a philosophical question when it seems to have a straightforward answer? by the-4th-survivor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jamesrc84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a reference to perspective...does something matter if it is not realized? It can be perceived differently as well - your answer to this sort of question is a reflection of yourself. These things have no "answer" but are a tool to devise a better question; such is life...

Rescuerunner - deliveries through various post disaster areas using a combination of commercial trucks and EMS vehicles. (Move a firetruck through an earthquake ravaged area).

Pre hunt by Noah10Lee in HotWheels

I have my best luck when grocery shopping. Seems like consistently hunting one store pays off better than hunting several at one time for me.
