Microsoft is doing some interesting things for casual gamers - like if you buy a controller you can play a few basic games via subscription and cancel after however many months you choose. It might not appeal to you or me but it changes the way that casual people can play games. Plus, no need to worry about which console to buy or what TV cabinet to store it in. Just play. I think that's a cool new development from Microsoft. That's what I expect from a technology company, for them to try new things.

    For me, I'd say any kind of survival-simulation game or any sort of card game. Lots of choices to be made and not all of them are good in the end.

    This doesn't apply to a relationship if one person in the relationship is working, the other unemployed.

    It also doesn't apply to relationships where the couple has no children.

    If you live alone, you also don't get the payment.

    Reddit bans (and shadow bans) are unreasonable and unfair. The fact that you can be banned for the smallest little thing just means that there is no true diversity of opinion, it's just a hive mind with a false consensus.

    It's better than having to open Edge Browser and use websites that are infested with advertising. Seriously, having ai answer questions about a game, while in the game, is going to replace search for some of us. I'd definitely use it rather than a browser or having to switch to my pathetic android phone. Most modern games are complicated and the player needs the browser open all the time to get tips and little pieces of info.

    It's going to get very expensive. Funny how people are just learning that today on day 8 or 9.

    I knew in 2010 that Iran would do something like this because I followed news and I read books.

    I'd like to hear from someone who's played Phantom Fury on Xbox. Are there annoying bugs or crashes?

    I notice they just updated Ion Fury but it seems that it doesn't remember my controller settings so it drives me mad. I don't have any faith in the companies behind this. They took 4 years to release The Aftershock DLC on console and that's just not good enough. We also never got the final patch for Ion Fury, the one that let's you charge up the crossbow and then release it again without wasting the ammo. You can put it away without firing it. Maybe the last patch added that I'm not sure.

    There was another bug where enemies never made the noise they make when they spot you. That was fixed on PC 4 years ago but I'm unsure if it's been added to console.

    Game soundtracks (lemmy.zip)

    I'm listening to the Perfect Dark soundtrack (2000) I never played this game until last year so I have little bias towards this sound track, like I don't love it just because I heard it when I was a child or anything. I played Goldeneye but not this.

    The music is MIDI I think, so it feels familiar. One of the themes sounds similar to Goldeneye's "Cradle" and another one sounds like a track off Battlezone: Combat Commander (Red Odysee DLC)

    Perfect Dark is a sci-fi action game, so the music suits that. Sometimes the tempo changes suddenly which is cool. Many games now have movie-like soundtracks which is really boring!

    Listen to parts of Perfect Dark and the Battlezone DLC "Red Odysee" and see if you like it.
