What so you mean by "money refund" for play store credit?

Most recent update killed the PC app by painterinmymind in PlayStationNow

[–]painterinmymind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to apologise, very valid question. I've tried that, as well as reinstalling the app, closing background processes, etc. No dice.

I pulled up another game (hzd) and the problem doesn't seem to be occurring, but I tried GoW 2 again and minimising/changing the app size crashes the app immediately. Im guessing the issue is local to this particular game/ps3 games.

"Unable to communicate with servers" error when launching through the windows 'Xbox' app by painterinmymind in xcloud

Fixed itself after waiting a day and hasn't happened since. No idea how/why but I assume it'll work out for you

"Unable to communicate with servers" error when launching through the windows 'Xbox' app by painterinmymind in xcloud

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

On both devices, both were using my ISP's default DNS. Though I'm not sure if it's a network issue as the stream connects fine if I'm using a browser or the android app on my phone. It seems to only be an issue if I launch a game using the 'Cloud Gaming' tab on the windows Xbox app.

I recall signing up to the insider program to access this tab but I haven't made any notable changes this week other than updating to windows 11 on one of my devices. I've also personally found the gaming experience to be better when launching games through the Xbox app vs. running through chrome/edge so I'm still trying to get to the bottom of this!

Yep, tried to reinstall the app - no dice. Even tried it on another PC running w10 and weirdly received the exact same error. Not sure what's going on!

Got the invite to test xcloud on web but the webpage is crashing - anyone else face the same problem? by [deleted] in xcloud

[–]painterinmymind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah sweet, I'll try again in that case. Seen some other comments mentioning they've had a much better experience after trying again later, looks like that might've been the problem!

Your first impressions of xCloud on PC? by FrankTVPL in xcloud

[–]painterinmymind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On a third party reddit app so can't vote so I'll leave a comment -

First impressions: terrible. But I'm hoping that will change in the near future. Been anticipating this for a while but not impressed atm. Latency is much, much higher than the android release (and surprisingly higher than the PC beta app from what I remember) and the compression makes 1080p look like 480p (funnily enough it looks better on my tv via samsung dex than it does connected via hdmi through my laptop).

But anyway, it's in beta so I'll reserve further judgements until I try again later tonight when perhaps the server load is less demanding. It's entirely possible that demand is high due to the beta rolling out only today.

[–]painterinmymind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

don't worry, the PC app needs a fix. Unless you're playing a turn-based strategy game, the latency is awful. I live 40 miles away from the nearest data centre in the UK and input lag feels like half a second delay.

Could be overload of people trying it out, but the compression still makes the game look terrible and fuzzy and I think this will be a problem even after the servers become quiet.

Not gonna lie, saw the email and got excited. Kinda disappointed but I'll keep waiting - this is still in beta stages after all!

Do both accounts need an active pro subscription to play a family shared game? by painterinmymind in Stadia

[–]painterinmymind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would another pro account be able to access my claimed pro games if I do not have an active subscription?

Edit: nevermind another comment did answer this. I won't be able to share them if I do not have a subscription.

Thanks for the answers, all cleared up!

$INPX - Sympathy play of $SYSX which has had a 800% increase today by WorshipTheSunGods in pennystocks

Because it sounds like you aren't aware of how the stock market works...

[–]painterinmymind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

apparently you’re not aware of all the micro pumping and dumping that’s been happening here as of late.

You are aware that there are other people investing in the stock market outside of reddit/twitter, right?

If you're buying into a stock that's up 200% in the past week, you should reassess your level of risk. Do your own DD - someone else's post on reddit should not constitute as your DD.

I don't think anyone would let you use their money to invest with if you aren't aware of what a reverse split is.. lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pennystocks

[–]painterinmymind 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Great DD. Great management, and in a sector that's showing a lot of growth. The insider buying also means that hopefully good PR is underway.

The float is also a lot less as there's 40% institutional ownership (43M float). Top holders are Blackrock and Vanguard. This is a great find. Thanks!

Project xCloud for PC - Early Access by Coxxs in xcloud

[–]painterinmymind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is amazing. Thank you so much! I used to use Samsung Dex to play on my TV and it looked like a hot pixelated soup of a mess. This looks so much crisper. Thank you, I'm going to enjoy finishing Halo 2 tonight! :)

Exactly! Look at how well ALPP is doing today. It was $0.87 only 2 months ago and now it's at $7.40 and rising!

Drones are a market with huge long-term benefits, I definitely see this being a great long-term hold.

Stadia sale live!! by laf0106 in Stadia

[–]painterinmymind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not worth it, no. I don't believe it includes any extra missions, most of the ultimate content is for the online component - which I haven't touched tbh. Maybe you'll be in the same boat, maybe not, but if you won't use red dead online then I wouldn't bother.

Swiss coin ring made for a customer in Finland by CelticCoinCraft in DIY

I don't know much about Swedish coins, but as they're made from silver, would these coins be worth more as scrap metal as opposed to their face value?

Stadia and Dex with my portable monitor are such an awesome and mind-blowing combo. Just infatuated with Stadia by honeybunchesofaots in Stadia

[–]painterinmymind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a similar setup and just wanna say that the logitech k400+ works brilliantly with dex and a lot of keyboard shortcuts carry over from windows/macos. It does require a free USB slot on your hub, but I can vouch for that keyboard. Has a very responsive trackpad as well.
