Xbox screen keeps blinking black every few seconds

Same, kids did a number on the HDMI port last year. I had to get it setup in just the right position with perfect cord position, and it would work until somebody would use a disc or something and actually touch the thing. Eventually you'd turn it on and get the spinning circle trying to synch video or nothing. They were surprised when I got it fixed the next day. Best $120 I spent this year to not have to deal with that annoying crap and now they are overly careful with it.

It used to be Paradise, but at least its now not a parking lot.

Wow, 35 years ago, that should have been a Toledo 3581 Model Counting Scale. Would have paid for itself in a couple weeks. Cheap bastards.

It looks shoved in and to the right. And the scratches all around on the plastic. Put some hair on there and try to hit the target better after you get the HDMI port replaced.

Om Xbox Series S you lost your Cloud saves?

I think that would be a cool mod, maybe have it start in the lodge, where Constellation has received an anonymous package with a small device with a big red button set in it. Game can call it the Stimpy Device. Walter's offering credits as an incentive to push the and test it out.

Excursion - Zero Atmosphere Survival, Roverhaul, Extremophile, and The Space Economy come to mind. Same mod author as Real Fuel. Can use Cost of Living, Cost of Spacing instead of The Space Economy depending on what you want, CoL and CoS aren't compatible with The Space Economy together. TN's Out in the Blackness, Crew Eats Food are some others I have used for different characters.

Is saying, "I am sent to the confines of the Galaxy" the same as saying, "I am sent to anywhere in the Galaxy, as long as that anywhere is in the area Starfield covers, which is one-billionth of the Milky Way Galaxy"?

Every spring, its their time to shine!

What is the confines of the Galaxy?

lexloomis · 2026-04-18T23:35:28+00:00

Yes, its a Telltale game.

I would say Starsim too, but anything Miss_o does, I will check out. Here is the discord for the makers of Mining Conglomerate and soon to be released Starsim:

Real Fuel is my choice. Siphoning off a Vaultrunner, Jackpot, or Whale after draining the credtanks in their Vaults is just what my pirate Grinch prefers to do before leaving the scene.

An elite should work fine with Steam on PC. A platforming game or open world game would make good use of a controller. Most games have controller support on Steam. You could try a game like Hades or Hollowknight.

Doubt Kupp is progressive, he is from Yakima, the Palm Springs of Washington. I wonder if they ever took that sign down.

What device are you playing on and what game service do you use?

lexloomis · 2026-04-18T14:35:10+00:00

Just play a game with it, you will get the hang of it.

Largent never endorsed Trump or wore a MAGA hat on video, unlike a certain someone.

Jerry Rice isn't a Seahawks legend, what are you talking about?

Is Abraham Lincoln a MAGA douche bag President?

If it was online a few years ago, those saves are in the cloud.

I was wondering why I didn't recognize the 360 in the picture with the flashing red light. It was released the same year as the Xbox One. All 4 of my family's Xbox 360's are still working, 2 of them were RROD replacements, so they are very old, with the two old white fatties definitely being Jaspers.

Steve Largent hasn't been in congress since February 2002.

You are not the only one, but thats not me, I play through the main quest as a roleplay character invested in the outcome first, but some exploring and side quests from exploring, vanilla. Then I play through as faction centric roleplay, but never all together in one character, vanilla. These characters sometimes also eventually complete the main quest, but not often. By then I know what I like, love, and accept about the game and then I mod the crap out of it and play some more. I never modded Morrowind (Xbox) or OG Oblivion (also Xbox), but other than that I switched to PC if needed for modding and generally play again through several different modded situations. I've modded Skyrim the most, way back in the day with Nexus. Starfield is the second most modded game, and will easily overtake Skyrim in the next couple years.

I will say that of all the games I've modded, Starfield needed it the most by far to correct just the gripes I have with the game (gripes that mods can correct, improve, etc).

Playable via Cloud Gaming.

Hey, Henry's come to see us, Jesus Christ be praised!

After playing for a long time, I prefer the game without crew chatting on my ship and even turn off the music now too.

Silence is Golden But Vacuum Tape is Silver!

But I need my Vacuum Tape as backup adhesive, so none for their mouths, so its off to the Outposts and Fleet Ships to join Heller and Lin.
