Kickstone

I am\was really excited about this game. I didn't get to play it, but everything I've seen about it looks amazing. I was going to preorder, which I have never done in all my years of gaming. But....no console only crossplay has stopped me from pressing that button. I also think I will hang fire after release day, see how it all pans out.

I've played Apex since it was released, if I was going up against pc players then that wouldn't be the case. Think it's done automatically on Apex, not sure how it works with other games. I've played shooters with pc players in the mix and it just kills it for me. I'm sure I'm not on my own. I'm on XBox, so no doubt switching to no crossplay in settings w

I might come across as a moaning old c*nt here but I'm just going to say it.

Went out for drinks with just a couple of mates the other week. Went to the Olde Cock, Fletcher, Royal Oak. Now, I'm glad the boozers are full, it's good for business. To be honest, in the 30 or so years I've drank there (I'm down the road in Gatley) I've never seen it busier.

But the students in fancy dress were just a fucking nightmare. It totally changes the feel of the pubs. And, I don't know if it's safety in dressed up numbers, but they tend to act more gobby and just downright fucking annoying. And if it's bad enough queueing up at a packed bar, I have to deal with some twat with a blowup crocodile und

As a solo, this would be one of the best features. I know you can back out and invite them, but that's just too cringe to instigate,. It's like I want to be your friend. I might do, but if you're just a decent teammate who doesn't chat shit, pings where they want to go and is generally alright, then I wouldn't mind the option of just having another game without feeling like a bit of a creep. If you don't want to, just back out and rejoin, it's no hardship. Why this hasn't been implemented is a bit baffling to me because it would make the solo and newbie experience so much better.

I've put a deposit down on a Mitsubishi Shogun 3dr Swb, 2014, 40k on the clock. It's 15k all in all, which I think is a good bargain. And I love the look of it. But I didn't fully realise about Mitsubishi pulling out of the UK market. I was planning on keeping this about 3 - 5 years. I'm really starting to panic now as I'm worried about about parts and also depreciation. Whilst I'm willing to accept parts might be a bit more expensive I don't want to chuck 15k down the drain should something go wrong down the line that I can't get a part for, or the price of them dropping off a cliff. At the end of those years I would ideally like to get a reasonable chunk of money back. I don't know if I'

I feel as a parent I should be giving him advice. The thing is, I only know the trade I’m in, which is IT. I wouldn’t recommend it to him and he holds no interest in it. So, I don’t really know what’s out there, or what might be a good job in the future. Also, whilst I want him to get paid well, I also want him to be happy. If he’s anything like me, which I think he will be, a work-life balance will be just as important. It would also be ideal if the job had a purpose and was enjoyable, but hey, I'm a realist!

He has no idea what he wants to do, Christ, I’m 50 and neither do I still! He’s pretty bright and does well in his subjects, but nothing holds his interest really. I also don’t know

I’m an IT engineer of 20 years, and this still confuses me.

I currently have two Xbox Series X. One of them is set to Home at the moment, the one which my boy plays on. This is so he can play the games I buy without me having to sign in (I think at least, is there a way to actually check which Xbox is set to Home? I did this on Xmas day morning and I’m unsure which is which now. Can't find anything obvious).

I want to take the old Xbox One camping with us in the campervan and play games when we’ve got an electric hookup. If my understanding is right, to do this I need to:

Temporarily set the Xbox One to Home.

Download the games I want to play.

Set the Xbox One to offline.

Set my bo

I'm 46 years old with a family. I manage to get a couple of hours gaming in a night fortunately, and most of those have been with Apex since release. I'm nothing special but could hold my own. Don't do ranked, just casual. 370 lvl, about 60 or so wins last season. Probably the definition of a casual.

I love the battles in Apex. Some of them have been absolutely legendary. No other game has really given me that sort of experience in all my years gaming. The wife asked why I play it the most at the moment and I compared it to an action scene in a Jason Bourne movie. When you find yourself in the middle of that battle and you think you're done for but then you pull some sick ass move and win i
