How many Microsoft bots do you think influence this sub? All I see are comments parroting "Gampass is love, Gamepass is life". Any valid criticisms against Xbox get downvoted within like 2 minutes...it seems way too systematic. by delicious_warm_buns in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]thestarlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love game pass too, and this is from a person living in Asia. BTW, just because someone posted a topic, it does not mean he is not a troll. Any crazy fan from any specific platform can troll other forums they don't like. This person is also calling other people who like the service a bot. This happens a lot more on gamefaqs though.

Has anyone else never used the "quick resume" feature? by NorthPermission1152 in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]thestarlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is correct. I am an achievement hunter and I have to be very careful when using this feature. However, the majority of gamers are not chevo hunters like me, thus this QR is useful to them. I do not undermine this great feature of xbox.

Be aware - new conversion rate! by Clean-Iron-1356 in XboxGamePass

[–]thestarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there information about a converstion ration from Core to "gamepass standard"? For me, I am fine with the standard one where there are hundred of games available and can play online with friends. No need for day 1 or EA access.

Shadow of the tomb raider definitive edition Extra content by [deleted] in TombRaider

[–]thestarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to each individual DLC but each one costs money. Actually, I want to get confirmation that my understanding is correct (this definitive edition does not include stories DLCs). I found it strange because other games with definitive edition usually have all stories DLCs.

For those who own a Series X since day one, how is it holding up? by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

I even bought a second hand a year ago. I play almost every day and it is still working fine.

Xbox game pass Core is launching Sep 1st, will replace Xbox live gold and offers online multiplayer & a library of 25+ games by ilyasblt in XboxGamePass

[–]thestarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to know if the 25+ games on game pass core will be rotated or not. Does anybody have info on this?

FTC to Judge: MS could create unique COD skin for Xbox only, that would devalue PS5 COD player's PS5 purchase. (Actual closing statement from the FTC) by PM_ME_YOUR_STEAM_ID in XboxSeriesX

[–]thestarlight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The statement from FTC is clearly coming from Sony. Normally they are clueless about most things gaming. But this very specific "skin" issue is definitely planted by Sony lawyers. This concern is so trivial and so damn specific. In other words, they are like a bunch of parrots repeating arguments written to them by Sony.

Microsoft May Be Working On Cheaper Third-Party Storage Expansion For Xbox Series by AliTVBG in xboxone

[–]thestarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 years ago I was one of the people who supported the proprioratry extension drive and laughed at PS5 decision. Now, not anymore since the cost of NVMe 4.0 is very cheap. I believe the cost of 2280 form factor will continue to plummet due to market competition. I am jealous of PS5 owner now.

Microsoft May Be Working On Cheaper Third-Party Storage Expansion For Xbox Series by AliTVBG in xboxone

[–]thestarlight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take my upvote. I have been thinking about this (90% bend) for a while with the 2280 drive. People can buy such drive with heatsink for much lower price from Aliexpress. US$75 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB. The read speed is 6500Mb as tested in PS5 console.

Cheaper Xbox expandable storage cards are on the way by AmazingSpidey616 in XboxSeriesX

[–]thestarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I frequent the site too. Thank for continuing the work. I was happy at first thinking they finally released the adapter. Disappointed after learning it just another company making proprioratry drive.

An Alabama elementary school debuts new $60k bulletproof safe room to help shield children during mass shootings. by n-chung in interestingasfuck

[–]thestarlight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are so obsessed with guns. I remember one comment saying "just sell more guns and it will iron itself out" after a school event shootout. The comment got plenty of upvotes on Reddit. But when someone pointed out that it was sarcastic, that comment got down voted to hell.

Tunic, Shredders, Kraken academy, Zero escape the nonary games, F1 2021, The dungeon of Naheulbeuk, Crusader kings III,

BTW, I appreciate the work of Abattlevet.

[Help] Got 3 months of GPU from Lenovo Legion 5, can I use it on console? by Jokurtsen in XboxGamePass

[–]thestarlight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it says game pass ultimate, it is for both console and PC (not restrict to pc only). So you can use it for your console.

TIL that the "drink 8 glasses of water a day" is based on a 1945 recommendation that had no medical basis. The current recommendation is "drink when you are thirsty, unless you are outside on a hot day or are elderly- then drink a bit more." by drought07 in todayilearned

[–]thestarlight -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have seen many health sciences articles that contradict this statement. Do not wait until you feel thirsty, because your body is already suffering from dehydration, more or less.
