Quick Questions XIV: A Question Reasked (Part 1)

this should be more an issue with your router than your devices – LAN and wifi should share the same subnet and routing behaviour in 90% of cases, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something else causing the issue

Something to try from Troubleshooting the Phone Link - Microsoft Support

What SF is the premise/lore of Paradise Killer influenced by?

Ape Out
Astrologaster
Gato Roboto
Hellblade
Lonely Mountains
Momodora
Streets of Rage 4
Thumper
Void Bastards
West of Dead

Some of these are very much “play for an hour or two and feel free to walk away” but that’s a list of stuff I played through the service and I felt like I got my money’s worth especially at a discounted rate. There’s new stuff on there that I might be tempted to try… but I don’t know if I’d even get the most out of a $1 a month considering the stuff I’m already in the middle of playing.

My list after Mikey’s was

Ape Out
Dead Cells
Timespinner
Blair Witch

I went to look at the list and Wilmot’s Warehouse? dragon quest xi? Battletoads? celeste? Children of morta? There is just so much!

So many of these are things I have elsewhere.

I guess that’s just how these services are.

Battletoads must be an exclusive. Hell Blade and Blair Witch aren’t but are both things I’ve wanted to check out.

Thanks!

Conversely, if anyone wants to play Perfect Dark, hit me up!

Or if MSoft’s busted-ass website would actually put me through to a page where I could pay for the service

Also yo @LaurelSoup be aware the launcher for Gamepass is very buggy and you should expect installs of any game you download to randomly break and for you to need to do all sorts of hacky shit to get things working again

does this belong here?

my ds3 stopped working in a really weird way on this new windows 10 laptop. it worked before thanks to steam, but now steam and other softwares don’t recognize it? and i figured out it being plugged in causes certain unrelated installations to stall, as well as regular boot up (tested this. boot up screen just keeps going as long as its plugged in).

anyone have any clue what the hell is going on?

Which driver are you using?

the ones that come with ps now

edit: also after it stopped working and this stuff started happening i went for the scp toolkit but that’s not really working at all either

Did anyone else suddenly start getting a ton of weird Nintendo anti-piracy screen recommendations on YouTube in the last week? What’s up with that?

Somebody created some fake videos of a chilling anti-piracy screen in Mario Party DS, and everybody else on YouTube decided to jump on the meme bandwagon.

The fake video that I believe started it:

Why it took ~2 months to finally ramp up? idk

i decided to try switching usb port and needed to disconnect my external drive to make room. the safe disconnect stuff just wasnt doing anything until i first unplugged the ds3, seems to be blocked the same way the ds3 blocks bootup and installations?

what is this? why does it work like this?

also switching ports didn’t work. what’s curious is windows recognizes a playstation 3 controller is plugged in, but no software seems capable of interacting with the controller, as if its just blocked or something? steam can’t even detect it exists.

Hell yeah, I’m digging into it right now. The Writing on Games guy is a Tim stan?? He posted in the YouTube comments. Was he ever on sb? Does anyone else here know him sorta personally? I love his channel, it’s very good

Thinking I’ll watch all the new action button reviews in reverse order because why not. Might have to skip FF7R if it’s too spoilery because I’m still waiting on that game to come to PC… I mean I’ve played through the original, I just don’t want the new stuff spoiled for me

I assure you it does not cover any of the actually interesting thematics of FF7R in the 3 hours of talking. He does talk about how much Aerith is his girlfriend four times.
