No worries. It’s a mix of both. If the kids are watching TV, I’ll stream direct from the Xbox. If we’re playing a game like Forza, then they’ll be on the Xbox with their own accounts, and I’ll be using cloud gaming to join them.

Although they have their own accounts, they’re set up under Microsoft Family (or whatever Microsoft have branded it this week) to be in my family, but I don’t think that has any bearing on the setup.

I have a Game Pass Ultimate subscription and there’s only one Xbox in the household, and that has both theirs and my account on it. So they can be signed in and playing online on the Xbox, and have access to all the Game Pass games, and I can sign into cloud gaming on another device.

Since I’m the account holder for Game Pass, if I were playing on the Xbox, they wouldn’t be able to use cloud gaming, so the only way we get to play Game Pass multiplayer games (with one subscription) is if they’re on the Series X, and I’m on cloud.

Edit: one last thing - cloud gaming is pretty flawless for me (for the most part). Something like Rocket League is tricky because the unavoidable extra lag makes all the difference, but most games I’m interested in are unaffected. I have a decent network setup though (for the UK), with fibre to the premises, and multiple wireless access points all wired directly to the main router, so the whole house gets about 300Mbps down and 50Mbps up, with a decent ping. The Xbox is also wired directly to the router. Ensuring the WiFi is adequate wherever you’re playing is the biggest factor.

To be honest, I’m rarely gaming for long enough for it to be a problem. It’s come in ideal for when one of the kids is using the Xbox on the TV, and they want to play a game like Forza with me, so I’m generally lying on the sofa playing with the controller on my lap, where the weight’s not an issue. It’s not exactly a Switch mind you, but it’s far more preferable to the phone and Backbone combo I was using previously.

As a Brit, I have to agree. So many of the skits that have been shared over the years are terrible, and I have to wonder if it’s a cultural divide.

On the other hand, the weekend update where the guys swap jokes is some of the best comedy I’ve seen.

Difficult to argue against this. GrassRootsGoals Instagram account is far more entertaining than MOTD.

Yeah I get that, and that’ll be because of the long term financial benefits of enticing the companies there. But still…€13bn is a mad figure.

It sounds so bizarre that Ireland has been fighting in court to avoid having to receive €13bn from Apple.

My comment was satirical

Makes sense, thanks

This job sounds like it could be replaced by AI

Remember when a chocolate orange didn’t have fucking hollowed-out concave segments? I do Terry, you greedy prick.

If you replace a word with its synonym, will it still have the same meaning

Only Cans

Deus Ex: Human Revolution aesthetic

Another one for the list: Cube (1997). Low budget sci-fi horror-ish movie that I remember being pretty polarising.

Dark City is a great shout. The director’s cut loses the voiceover at the start, and is definitely the version to watch.

It’s just a phrase, you don’t literally have to feel guilty.

I think that’s why I preferred Rogue One (and Andor), in that they were more like war movies/shows that expanded upon this galaxy we were promised, but only previously had exposure to the same handful of individuals and their lightsabers.

Regarding the reset of the galaxy via TFA as a mistake and what you do with it after that is actually a superb take. I think your second paragraph might even have made me want to give TLJ another go!

Absolutely no judgement here! It’s all personal preference.

That said, Last Jedi over Rogue One is a bold call ;)
