Not sure if this is really new news, but still…

Yeah I don’t wanna talk about it… worse than the cylance failure I dealt with in ‘22.

I know he had to say it to reassure people but the CrowdStrike boss saying “our customers remain fully protected” is irritating - of course they are you dick, if they can’t turn on the sodding computers!

The actual piece makes it clear that it is about the ROI and how their larger budgets in the past haven’t paid dividends, so things were cut.

I know everyone has been down on Xbox lately but this is actually pretty awesome. Playing Flintlock in the bedroom for under $100 :v: It works great, Xbox should’ve released this app years ago.

It’s more quiet than anything. Latest negative was the price increase, but it is what it is. It’s summer. It’s going to be quiet in terms of news. In the meantime, let’s enjoy gaming and looks like you’re in it.

The Xbox app works really well. It feels like a console to me :raised_hands:

Tried Flintlock today. Just feels so cheap. Really underwhelmed by this one

I love Flintlock. Probably going to be in my top ten this year.

I hear ya, they shouldnt have gone so AAA with it because the jank stands out bad. That being said, as I don’t care too much about AAA-ness, I am going to keep at it.

Trying it now, I will see how it feels for me on normal.

So far have finished the tutorial for Flintlock, my only issue currently is the camera is too close and lose.

Played four hours of Flintlock and thus far, im enjoying it. Combat/gameplay and world are the standouts to me. Story/characters remains to be seen as it’s too early yet. Only negative I have is Nor being “floaty” when falling off a ledge to get down to the ledge below.

Bosses in this Flintlock are pretty tanky, dodging though is very forgiving if we spam to go into a roll.

But so far I don’t have the damage to defeat my first trial/challenge boss(the one at my second village wasn’t too big an issue), the musket is also pretty strong for head shots so sometimes we can get by enemies quicker by shooting them.

Art of Fighting? Haven’t heard that one in a long time. Action RPG for Samurai Showdown? Interesting.

Not my preferred ending, but I couldn’t help go through with this in cosplay.

I was playing Halo Infinite MP when this happened. Console wouldn’t turn off. Did a long press turn off and it turned off, but wouldn’t turn on. Gave it a minute and it turned on. Pretty scary as I thought the console got bricked!

A few months over a year so I assume outside of warranty. Phew!

Gonna play again to see what happens. Wish me luck!

This happened to me yesterday on Halo if it makes you feel any better.
