the unreal 5 matrix experience really blew my mind
can't wait for the actual games using the unreal5 engine

reminds me of the days we were wowed by the jaw dropping 3Dmark's Max Payne "Matrix" hall gunfight demo exactly 20 years ago laugh.gif

Guys, the Dolby Atmos license on Xbox is tied to the same account on Win10/11 PC, right? Don't tell me I've to buy it twice on PC and Xbox?

Just in preparation of the arrival of my SteelSeries Arctis 7X mid next month.

Hard-wired to the AVR via HDMI2.1 CABLE, Atmos plug-and-play onboth the XSX and PC. The Dolby Access app just shows "Ready to use" with AVR as default audio processor.

It's tied to your account, not device
you only need to buy it once, I'm using it both on my PC, laptops & XsX

Another dang surprise in gamepass, or maybe I just missed the announcement tongue.gif

but Record of Lodoss War is goody

every fans of castlevania or metroidvania should try it out

action is tight & responsive, bosses can be brutal, love the mechanic of the game

was just planning to try it out for 10-15mins last night for nostalgic reason, as I've watch Lodoss war anime few decades back tongue.gif
but that 10-15mins end up become 2 hours laugh.gif

Tried that too. The prompt is different now. Last time it was an error code but multiple tries can by pass it. Last night was different. It says card must be from origin country.
*
you'll still will get that once a while

IMO the card loophole is still there, it's just not very consistent in detecting and stopping the cross region buying

For my case,
main account: some cards will be able to buy once after few weeks it was rejected, but only once, next purchases will be rejected again
secondary account: same BP card as above, but no issue buying as gift to gift to my main account, but you're only limited to 8 gifts quota per month IINM

managed to buy a few cheap DLCs using my secondary account as gifts just last night

I think Turkey store is the cheapest now, at least accordingly to few games I've compared with AR stores
RE8 in TR is RM60, AR is RM100
Tales of Arise in TR is RM50, AR is RM145 sweat.gif

but Biomutant is more expensive in TR, RM63 compared to AR is RM55

switched region to Turkey, tried using the same cc on my main account, no joy again
but successfully gifting to my main using my second account, similar settings like AR, just add the same CC with turkey address

also I've noticed BigPay card no longer exchanging near to the latest online exchange rate, you'll have to add on roughly another addition 10%, my ToA supposed to be RM50 based on exchange rate on google or XE, but in my BP apps it was RM55, likewise for the rest of my transactions

So many backlogs (though no need purchase).

Yakuza Kiwami 1 & 2 also leaving game pass soon, downloaded the game since this year and not even boot up XD

crap, finished Zero, 1/3 thru kiwami 1, guess I'll buy them to collect digital dust then
they're really cheap during one of the recent sales, guess I'll got a good reason to buy the whole saga then

Finished Halo Infinite yesterday and going back to Nier Automata now. There still plenty of backlog from Steam, PS4, Switch and even Series-X.

backlog... a term that doesn't exist during our early gaming days rolleyes.gif
we have got all the time in the world, but very limited games to play, not to mention not enough money too tongue.gif

nowadays bought lots of games on all platforms, even knowing deep down, I'll never have the time to play them all
even hand itchy go spend a lot to upgrade 80% of my PC recently, even knowing I won't even utilize 50% of the power it has?

revenge for childhood lack of games maybe? or just midlife crisis laugh.gif

I think my best gaming years are already behind me. That time between college and final year university felt special. I had a Pentium III 600Mhx (later upgraded to 1Ghz), with Geforce 256 card (the first ever video card called a GPU) in year 2000. And it felt magical to play games on it. I had always played with minimum specs only, and to have a gaming spec machine was pure awesome.

Then of course that machine became obsolete real quickly. My course mates and I always compared specs between ourselves. One guy bought a Geforce 2 GTS. Another one had an Athlon XP. It was just a blossful time in my life.

Now I have all of the entertainment gear I could want, yet I don't play them as much. I can just smell my retirement coming up not too long already...

those were the days, 3DFX Voodoo! drooling over a wealthy classmate's dual SLI voodoo setting, playing unreal in full setting, while we struggling to try to play it on a 2nd hand Matrox GPU that doesn't even meant for gaming laugh.gif

Lol ... Title change : Old Men Club - Xbox Series X|S
How you guys handle those old console eh ? I have my PS3, PS4 and Xbox 360 now collecting dust there, cause i threw their box away during pindah rumah.
Now put inside a cabinet there with dehumidifier and change monthly.

I really hope here can support Xcloud so we can at least have some gaming session during lunch hour at least XD
Sometime i do remote play in office  whistling.gif

yeah, that's another dilemma here, taking up spaces, I still have my NES & MD in their original boxes on top of cabinet collecting dust
my mom almost threw them away while shifting house, luckily my sis asked me if I still want them or not
PS3 & PS4... I'm really thinking to sell them off, as they doesn't hold any sentimental values to me... hmm.gif

for controller battery, im using eneloop pro, as suggested by reddit.
MS or 3rd party battery pack smaller in capacity compared to eneloop pro.
*
just beware that high capacity batts like eneloop pro has much lower charge cycles compared to the lower one, hence shorter lifespans

also what I've noticed from my Eneloop pro as well: once you see batt low warning on screen, you'll have less than 10 min of juice left, after that the controller will power off straight
got caught in that difficult situation few times d, once was in the middle of Destiny 2 raid boss, finally got a good run, almost beating the boss, then i got AFK cos ignoring the batt low warning and no time to swap batt, was cursed kau-kau by team mates that time laugh.gif tongue.gif

That's why prefer immesely built-in batteries like in the DualSense. Made for the controller and none of these bullshit variables like good batch bad batches of rechargeable batteries nonsense. I've had my DualShock4 for years since PS4 released, and I still can get at least half a day charge, that's 6 hrs, on it while gaming. I mostly use my DS4 on my Androids, now mostly as controller for Remote Play or XCloud.

The only Xbox Controller with rechargeable batteries built in I like is the Elite V2. I'm not touching those after all the QC issues I read online. My two Elite V1s (except the kept-BNIB Gears of War 4 Elite V1) have been put through its paces, the side textured surfaces have peeled away. I've even DIYed repairs on both of them, the shoulder buttons have failed a few times on me. And the V1s STILL needs crappy batteries in them. I've got a few Microsoft official Play-and-Charge battery packs in them, but wires everywhere while charge. Messy!

Hence my interest in the Nitho battery packs with the Charging tower I can keep away from the gaming area if needed to keep that clean look. I wonder if I can charge those Microsoft Play-and-Charge battery packs in them. Probably shouldn't risk it. But the 35-days to ship from China is burning away my patience slowly bit by bit.

Oh, dont get me wrong. I still have my Eneloops. Along with the charging receptacle with LCD readout for their charge level for the fastest charging time. But the whole process of charging and replacing the batteries into the Xbox controller is tedious, pisses me off! I have other electronics that require battery swaps as well like remotes for my streaming devices, but those dont eat batteries like starving hyenas like these Xbox controllers. So battery swaps for these other electronics only happens rarely, far and few in between them losing charges, unlike Xbox controllers when I heavily use them for gaming.

To each their own, I guess. I just want to get on with the gaming, not having to peel off the back cover and swap batteries in. Pet peeve.
*
yeah, to each of their own

for me I'm not that heavy gaming nowadays, averaging once a week or more until batt swap is still fine for me, no complain there
batt low? swap in fresh batt in less than a minute, full tank ready to go!

unlike my DS4, need a charge every few days
sometimes forgot to charge in advance, mid gaming then low batt warning came up, seriously potong stim then

Reminder to self:
Don't play puzzle games that used a lot of brain juice just before bed

Installed The Pedestrian puzzle game last night, just wanna see what's it like, end up playing for few hours until almost half way of the game, and it destroyed my sleep last night, can't sleep properly as brain is still too active doh.gif

It's a simple platforming puzzle, light & nice, but some puzzles requires you to think a bit, sometimes need to think literally out of the box, strongly recommend you to give it a try

Hey bros, been awhile since i posted on LYN.

Just gotten myself a series S with 2 yrs gamepass for rm1180 (pretty swt huh). Its a used set, and being primarily a PS oriented I am very pleased with the series s. Gamepass is bonkers for what it offers, i have tons of games now and just recently beaten Halo Infinite, been a while since i really enjoy playing games! (Maybe its the age, and a kid)

Like all of us here, i just dont have too much time to game. Mostly are at nights and when the kid is sleeping. Anyway, the measly internal storage is bugging me, i almost pulled trigger for the 1TB seagate card but held back. Feel like at that much money I might as well get the series x (which have 1TB internal) and sell off the s.

Question is, is it worth it? But dang I love just how small the series S is next to the PS5!
*
that's a fantastic deal you got there, you even can profit a little bit if you sell it at current market rate tongue.gif

storage space is just the matter spend a little bit of time for preplan and maintenance, install only the game you wanna play, delete straight after you think you're not touching it in short term
512 should be just nice to keep your game library small, not all gamepass games need to be downloaded, since you're like most of us doesn't have too much time to game, just trim your installed library a bit, redownloading them againis a breeze anyway with the current highspeed broadband tongue.gif
even my XsX 1Tb space is constantly at 98% full, i'm just too greedy tongue.gif
now need to plan which games to uninstall to install the newly added Mass Effect legendary edition laugh.gif
