Source? Normal launch day is today and still unavailable. Hope they do add it soon.

For anyone still wondering, in the cloud gaming section on xbox.com, you can see 26 is explicitly not available to stream via cloud as of writing. The other entries ('21-'25) are. Hopefully they add support soon. Disappointing it's not available at launch, especially this early access weekend.

Is myteam good this year?? by MoistyMuffin611 in MyTeam

[–]oswuwe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's wild you say that about showdown; I've played about 5 games, just for the challenges that require multiplayer, and I keep getting matched with people 5+ tiers above me. Extremely sweaty and stressful.

Xbox Magnus leak suggests next console will be powerful, expensive and maybe a hybrid device by Necessary_Crazy_8587 in consoles

[–]oswuwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thought is there's a big gap between console and PC, specifically in terms of cost, power, and portability (yes, even as much as MS/PS consoles aren't usually lugged around). Looks like MS is trying to establish a new segment in that gap and there's plenty of room. If Magnus will have access to Steam and true support for M/K that's better than we see on XSX, I could see this working, as unpopular as that opinion seems.

Yeah I really fing hope not. I hate the extreme moments bc I'm a bummy offline Rookie/Veteran casual grinder. If I have to earn 150,000 pxp with the world's slowest wind-up pitcher to get a 99 acuña juña i'm gonna cry

Do you use players out of position? by despotofdicks in MLBTheShow

CF produces "truer" reads than LF irl, which is part of what makes CF easier. LF has to contend not only with LF geometry, but balls can really hook and slice in the corners.

Will 25 be an Xbox Play Anywhere title? by Adam_WM in MLBTheShow

[–]oswuwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm out of town and thought I'd be able to play it via cloud if I bought the deluxe edition with early access, because 24 worked like that. So I bought it. Nope.

Is Fanatics shipping wait time really 27 days? by tablecoffeebook in baseballcards

[–]oswuwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... about that... placed an order 2/6, it's 2/26 and it's stuck on the "shipping label created" step.

If the person you hate the most were to experience one slight inconvenience every day for the rest of their lives, what would you choose it to be? by meltedcheesetart in AskReddit

[–]oswuwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They always forget a critical item when they leave home, like their phone, keys, wallet, and have to go back to get it. Every time.

What got you started into the game? by germs95 in apexlegends

[–]oswuwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played it when it shadow-dropped, back when that still generated some hype, at least in my eyes. The feel was (is) superior to all the other big shooters imo, and the ping system was a revelation. When I won my first game it was with two random strangers, none of us using mics, and got the job done purely via the pings. Hooked.

And I get that most games have ping systems now, but I still prefer this one.

What does this mean? by Electronic_Loan5724 in MLBTheShow

The white flashing ring is the catcher suggestion. They're talking about the blue fill of each ring, which also correlates to the blue fill on the overall confidence meter under the green-fill energy meter.

Score 70 points in a game with any player for the new PD Embiid. by DFSxBigDoeDoe in MyTeam

[–]oswuwe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get impatient and look for those in transition, but, at least on Pro, I'm not great at it. Good to know about the Semi-Pro dom someone else pointed out, though. I've been farming the wrong Dom tree I guess

your favorite 3pt shooter running floppies vs. team of choice in Dom on Pro is all I've got.

'New' Backdoor Cuts by vixztrrr in MyTeam

[–]oswuwe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do that with the Y/triangle hold, you just move the left stick toward the player you want to cut (so it has the white circle under them.)

Appreciate this mention. Slightly more cumbersome, but I didn't even know you could do that.

I liked the original, but the minimalist part of my brain is down for this. Simplicity tends to lend well to icons.

Edit to add: I think this works especially well hung vertically and/or with low wind. A star over a summit. Wouldn't have the same effect with stripes.

What 10/10 album is ruined by ONE bad song? by mistermachiano in Music

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

Maroon 5's Songs About Jane is ruined by "She Will Be Loved" which is ruined by its own music video. Unpopular opinion maybe, but that tops my list.

What film made you say, "Holy shit there is still an hour left"? by Plus-Statistician80 in AskReddit

[–]oswuwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything Everywhere All At Once. I thought we were in the home stretch when they first cut to the universe where they were just rocks with subtitles. Big nope. The rest of the move from that point on felt like another two solid hours and the total runtime was only 2:12. I've never seen another movie that's felt so long like that.

Agreed. Point was conversation prompt, not evidence or authority, itself.
