A garage door opener is simply a machine so a shorter name could be "rage against the machine."

Wait...

Even Xbox is loosing to Sony and Nintendo despite being a decent product.

Xbox and Windows are both by Microsoft but they can't even get that right.

I got a free trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate that I've been using to play Starfield and a handful of other games on PC. But half the time I go to play it I either get a license error, which usually needs a full PC restart and signing in and out a few times to fix, or it constantly has to sync with the cloud. I can save my game, close it, not even switch off or restart my PC or even close the Xbox app, and later on when I go to play again it has to slowly synchronise my cloud save again. Why?! And if I want to make sure my save can be used on another device, I have to keep the app open for at least 10-15 mins after exiting the game so that the save can sloooowly upload to the cloud. I can upload things to YouTube, Google Drive, etc at 15+ Mbps but Xbox gaming services chugs along at 0.5 Mbps max. It's infuriating.

Honestly, game pass is a pretty good value proposition (lack of game ownership aside), but with the issues I've been having I won't be keeping it after my free time expires. If Steam has been able to handle license verification and cloud saves for years without problems, why can't Microsoft get this shit right? /rant

Sorry, I really needed to vent about this.

So I tied a salmonella-ridden bag of precut onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.

Do you have a recorded voicemail greeting? There are techniques now to train an AI voice on as little as 3 seconds of audio.

I've downloaded it on two devices already. It's on the Starfield - Standard Edition page, not the premium edition one. The usual play button will say "Pre-load install".

As far as I can tell I think it does require a separate login. I'm still relatively new to the fediverse and had a friend recommend squabbles, but I've already made an account here so have been trying to figure this out too tbh. Hopefully someone can correct me if it is possible.

While logged in, go to your settings (hamburger menu in top right > drop-down arrow on your profile name > settings) and there's a second tab called "Blocks" - can you undo it from there?

This one's my absolute favourite. I must have read it a thousand times. You're on a field trip and turn into this creature when you wander off and eat some weird fruit.

Because I'm a furry. obligatory OwO
