@ralphdibny Hey! Doing good, thanks!

I assume you mean use D-pad for air braking (Crash Team Racing). I tried it once or twice but, that's it. If CTR was active with new content, or a new game entry, I'd give it more of a chance. I've mostly been playing Rocket League these days on the Switch. Still haven't managed to keep diamond rank in 3v3.

@WoomyNNYes good stuff! Actually I just use the d pad exclusively for turning anyway. I think I used the stick a bit when i first got the game but ended up just using the D-Pad naturally because you could make quick adjustments with a button press instead moving the stick all the way back and forth.

I think I did do the air breaking but I am pretty sure I never got the hang of doing it while maintaining the blue flame boost thing. I'd always just fall to the ground, reserves depleted 😅

I guess the travel on a joy con stick is a bit less than on a PS4/Xbox stick because it's flatter so could be alright for twitch movements. The joy con stick feels more like it rocks in different directions rather than moves fully. That's just how it feels at least, I guess it actually has the full range of movement that a PS4/Xbox stick has.

I haven't played CTR much since the last content drop however long ago. I really don't think id even be able to do those Dev times they added, especially after not playing it for so long. I did have a quick go not long ago to play with a mate who moved to another country.

Nice! I played a fair bit of rocket league a few years back on PS4. I downloaded it on Xbox earlier in the year and synced my progress hoping that the equivalent achievements would unlock for me. They didn't 😅. But I did get back into it for a bit at that point!

See ya!

So I got my second COVID shot today and 14 hours in the side effects seemed mild. I have the chills, I feel achey all over and tired. To be honest the cold I had two weeks ago kicked my ass worst then this, but we shall see how I feel in the morning.

@Tasuki was that the Pfizer one? I had that for my first two jabs and it really done me in. I got Moderna for my booster and it was fine though, apart from the really sore arm for a few days. How you feeling now?

@ralphdibny I got the Moderna one and now I feel fine. I felt fine yesterday too. It was just the day after that I felt the worst and even then it wasn't that bad. I felt more dehydrated more then anything.

@Tasuki glad you are feeling better 👍

It's a bit of a weird one how the different vaccines affect different people in different ways. Might be some environmental aspect to it as well. I was in the midst of moving house when I got the Moderna booster so I literally had no time to sit down to think about how I felt in terms of the flu like side effects that I had got previously from the Pfizer vaccines.

My back and knees were killing me from lifting boxes and furniture anyway but I definitely did get the painful arm so had to get my partner to help me with lifting in the days after the booster. I remember one day just sitting down and being like, "I'm in so much pain all over my body" 😅

See ya!

Tasuki

@ralphdibny Thanks. Yeah I can see that being the case in your case. If I had to do a bunch of moving I probably wouldn't have noticed the symptoms as much. Usually I am that way when I am sick and I am doing things. Then when I stop bam it hits me.

I just realized a former regular, SplooshDmg hasn't been seen for a while, and he vanished kind of abruptly. Then I noticed all his posts have been deleted and his account is missing. Does anyone know what happened? Banned, asked to be deleted? That's a little unsettling when someone vanishes without a trace like that....

@Krzzystuff Huh. Well that's good to hear, and better news than I expected to get! Thanks! (Wish the salty pirate well for me next time )

@NEStalgia If the post is missing and the account is gone that's a self deletion. Even if the account gets banned its not deleted unless of course they were posting something like links to a porn site.

@Tasuki idk, Liam did that whole porn story on push and his posts are still there.... Must be self deletion only

Interesting to know though, thanks. It's eerie when you go back and see you had a whole conversation with yourself...

@Krzzystuff good stuff, glad to hear that Sploosh is OK! Had a few convos with him and he helped me choose my new TV!

See ya!

Hi everyone, just wanted to pop in and say hi as I have an Xbox X thanks to Mrs Noisy. Great to see @BAMozzy @Tasuki up in here. How's it going boys?

So my experience with the series X has been a bit weird to be honest. Love Horizon 5, it's an absolute masterclass. Flight sim is also awesome.

I'm not happy with the controller though. On Tetris Effect on the PS4 I can 1 life adventure mode on hard, on the X I keep getting no hits (so I've pressed the button or direction and it doesn't register) and it seems to have a tad more lag. It's not noticeable in new games but as I've mained Tetris games for the last 25 years it's a big issue.

Otherwise I am so glad to have one of these beauties. Now I get best of both worlds on the PS and Xbox. Yeeees!

@themcnoisy Hey - good to see you over here too and welcome back to the Xbox family. I'm sorry I can't help 're Tetris Effect' as I have not played it myself to know if that is the 'state' of the game or an issue that you shouldn't be experiencing. Also, I use an Elite V2 controller, not the 'new' Xbox controller that came with my console.

As you know, I couldn't be without having access to the 'best of Both' either - no way would I want to miss out on Horizon:Forbidden West, Spider-Man, God of War, Starfield, Fable, Perfect Dark etc.

If you have Game Pass, you instantly have access to a LOT of the same games as others - which can help when wanting to play with friends. Its a lot easier to find a game you ALL have instead of trying to find that '1' game everyone has...

Anyway, Welcome back to the Xbox family...

A pessimist is just an optimist with experience!

Why can't life be like gaming? Why can't I restart from an earlier checkpoint??

Feel free to add me but please send a message so I know where you know me from...

@themcnoisy welcome to the 🟢🟢🟢🟢 side!!

Could be good yeah! I'm not sure if you can do online multiplayer on Forza horizon but I'd be up for that if it has it! Or Halo Infinite seems like an obvious choice too. I haven't played multiplayer on either yet. There's tons of stuff on game pass too that I'm sure has multiplayer, I've sent you a message on PSN with my gamer tag. Feel free to add or post yours here and I'll add you.

I've bought an 8bitdo Xbox Pro Wired game pad for the d pad heavy games. Only got it recently so haven't tried it out much but I'll definitely be using it when I get around to Ori Will of the Wisps, Crash 4 and Rayman Origins

See ya!

@themcnoisy Welcome to the other side mate. I have been enjoying my Xbox Series X, had for a year now and it's a fantastic machine. I am holding out for the redesign of the PS5 before I get one as I don't like the look of the current model.

As far as Gamepass goes I am enjoying it alot. I played alot of games that I wouldn't have normally played because of it I know alot of people cringe at the all digital presentation but if there's a game I do truly enjoy I will by it physically, like Hades for example I am planning to get on my Switch once I replace the one that was stolen.

Forza Horizon 5 does look great, but I am still plugging away at FH3 and still need to play 4, but with work and having to deal with a house being rebuilt I have alot on my plate right now.

Anyway good to hear from you don't be a stranger now.

@BAMozzy I know Tetris isn't your kind of game but I would advise on giving it a go. It plays a strong game. Get through adventure mode on easy with S rating (groups of 3/4 levels with maybe 22 overall) and move gradually up. It's weird I got so good on my vr headset then could use new T spin skills in the likes of puyo puyo Tetris. It's great!

I've bookmarked 33 games to play like two point hospital, Ori and MLB the show. Exciting!

@ralphdibny yes Horizons would be a good shout. Word of warning, terrible at the games like tag and stunt runs. Pretty good at racing and finding an apex though. Unlocked 140 cars so far!

@Tasuki Sorry to hear about the switch bro. The Xbox is great. I've had some hairy moments but it's settled down and I know how to use it now. I've got Hades on my PS5 and it's ok, not a huge fan of roguelikes but did enjoy rogue legacy. Hades is a game which I won't play for long like dead cells, spelunky and Isaac as I don't enjoy them and prefer progressing through a game to the end - the fun in roguelikes is having a great run and it's too repetitive for me. Can't wait for the time to play infinite though and two point hospital!
