Lol add on xbox. Is it possible to add a ad guard DNS to it block these like with Samsung tv?

datavoid,

There is no way an Xbox would continue to work after blocking MS servers

Depends on the host name, I’m sure there is a PiHole blocklist out in the wild but likely only targets telemetry.

If it connects to the internet, you can change the DNS to whatever you want it to be. If Tim over at Apple had his way I’m sure he’d force his ‘i’ devices to use a “Secure Apple DNS Pro™️” server.

I hadn’t even turned on my Xbox One in almost a year until I helped my brother set one up for his game room this past week.

Every time you go to play a game, it brings up an entire pop-up that looks like the store page for whatever you’re trying to play, then you press “play.” Like, it was entirely unnecessary adding an extra popup screen asking if yes, that’s the game I want to play.

Madzielle,

Yeah, I play all the time and noticed this jist a few weeks back. I fuckin hate it

ryper,

You can disable that

  • On the Xbox home screen, go to "My Games and Apps."
  • Then, go to “Apps,” “Settings,” “General,” and "Personalization."
  • Go to “Games and Apps,” then scroll to the right until the three boxes below "Choose whether game hubs open automatically from the following places."
  • Uncheck the boxes on all three options: “Recently Played List,” “Groups,” and “Installed Games.”–
OmegaMan,

Thanks for this. So annoying.

Xbox has been dead since the launch of series x. Sell it and get off the train before the systems worth nothing.

Did anyone else get a headache trying to parse this run-on description?

Cocodapuf,

I would have struggled if I hadn’t gleaned the premise instantly as soon as I saw the logo.

I actually stepped my subscription tier down because of the price increase on Ultimate. Wasn’t worth the 50% jump for me.

I did too. As much as I hate MS, Xbox live is really our only way to play with our friends (who live all over the world because my husband is a night owl). I got Ultimate for giggles and it turned out my husband games so much it was a good deal. It’s definitely not at the new price. I personally have only used the console to play Minecraft over the last two years since I can’t get Bedrock on my steam deck without some major fuckery.

Alan Wake and some other Remedy games are on the Steam Autumn sale for cheap if anyone is interested. And good stuff Atticus, I really enjoyed my playthrough. I think they did a great job with it. I appreciate the added depth to Cloud over the original.

Humble has a bundle going too with like all their games included, at least last I checked. It even had Alan Wake II irc

These Full Screen ads are the reason I do not own a Xbox Series X and I’m not upgrading to Windows 11.

I’m turning on my console to do use it for streaming or gaming. Anything that gets in the way of going to be vilified.

Not content with shooting themselves in one foot, they go for the other. Knees are next, for those wondering.

Head over to LinkedIn and contact the culprit directly. Choose your words wisely, as they’ll certainly block you before you can get to your second barrage of abuse.

I’m a pessimist. The price increase won’t hurt them unless they lose more than 33% of the user base. Which is a big number of people choosing to change a habit/lifestyle.

Even if they do lose that amount, they could walk back the 50% and wait a few months and “only” increase it by 20%. People will feel good that they owned the big corpo and the big corpo still manages to increase profit.

OmegaMan, do games w this level is amazing

This game did blow my mind as well at this part. It was such a departure from the rest of the game.

calliope,

It’s one of my favorite sequences from any game!

Extremely scummy to not even list the price, but I shouldn’t be surprised since it appears they are going to milk whoever still has autosub on for an extra 10 bucks.
