Wait your son just stays isolated unless ya'll leave the house?

We call him out sometimes and he comes out to eat, etc. He just seems to spend most of his day in his room and he rarely likes to go out to eat with us. Teenagers.

lol going out to eat or to hang out with friends is about the only time I'd come out of my room, that's the surprising part for me.
 
When is the previous Destiny content going to be in GamePass?
Still no official exact date, but given the use of it in Xcloud advertisement, I'd say it will drop on the 15th alongside Xcloud on android.

Just start playing now. Still have content you haven't played before, like the Lost Forges and Menagerie, and once you get 1060 power you can do the prophecy dungeon. Still got thw Whisper of the worm exotic mission. Plus other exotic quests like Lumina, Thorn, Malfeasence, Jotunn, Izinagi's Burden, etc. Not too mention getting a build going with Armour 2.0.

All good points. I may spin it up on Friday.

Yep. The question was 'when' in Sept is the content coming. Menace reckons with the x-cloud release on Android.... in two weeks time.

Their early month gamepass announcements always detail stuff in the first half of the month, and then a second announcement later in the month detailing the second half of the month.

But, the fact it didn't get a specific date could be a sign of a possible delay.
 
So I might as well start playing D2 now before the other content hits GP?

That was my plan but I did find a little boring while waiting on the content. Going to try it again this weekend,

Depends when you stopped playing. Plus, getting your power level up before Forsaken and Shadowkeep hits means you will have access to things like Raids and Dungeons right off the bat.

Well you didn't play it that much. You need to focus on something. Otherwise you flit about the place and don't really get anything for it. Grind Mars for Sleeper Simulant. Make a build around an exotic armour piece. Try and complete a Triumph seal. Focus on exotic weapon quests. Etc.

I did focus on stuff. I was doing the Sleeper quest when I just packed it in. I didn’t want to grind out hours of stuff I’d already played for RNG items. I’ve no interest in doing that again for content I’ve already played. Hence I’m waiting on the new stuff.
 
between Undermine, Fallout 76, haven’t started Cross Code and now RE7 and Destiny 2 I have too much to play!

You misspelled Wasteland 3, Final Fantasy 7 and Crusader Kings 3. (Well, t least one of those is PC only but my struggle with backlog is real).

Yes and I’d like to try out Wasteland 3 at some point. Plus I’m probably about to buy the Tony Hawk Remaster b I loved those games. Not enough time for gaming!
 
I'm still trying to make my way through Cross Code. Gamepass is the gift that keeps on giving.

Crusader Kings is eating ALL my time. I'll say I'm only going to play for a few minutes and HOURS have gone by. I haven't been this engrossed in a world building game like this since Civ 6 or Total War Shogun.

Yeah, same here. I'm still rubbish at the game but damn if it doesn't have that ability to get its hooks in me.

I'm on my 3rd generation of Irish rulers. I've almost conqured all of Scotland and England. Eveytime I get close, Holy wars break out or something randomly happens.
 
They went with that design? It’s FUGLY x 10.

I had a good run with my first two leaders - had Ireland consolidated, and then started to try to get a foothold into Scotland. Forgot that mercenaries are a thing, and that distant alliances don't always pan out. Ended up losing that but the next leader did well for a while, took a while to build up the buildings in the primary county, got some other realm stuff done, decided to knock off a county in Wales to expand that way and suddenly Scotland, backed by Norway, came in for one of my Southern counties and that did not go well at all for me. I had already dropped a couple of Spanish counties my third king had fallen into while he was waiting for my second one to die (them alliances!) so I had 75% of Ireland and a quarter maybe of Wales when it all went tits up. Once that third King died, the fourth was a useless git who lasted a year, and the fifth tried to take back the counties from Scotland, got captured and killed and I think that's where I'm going to end that run. I really need to spend some time getting to know more of the strategic side of things. Though it was fun having a vassal 8 year old bitch get on my nerves so I stripped her title, eventually wound up taking the land and creating the petty kingdom there, ended up making her a secondary spouse, used her claim to another county to annex it, granted those two back to her, and then ten years later had to imprison her and strip the primary title back when she got caught nailing the bishop or whatever the religious council guy's title is.
 
I rarely get to actually play on my X1X now, though - hell, my teenager gets more X1X time than I do and he only comes out when my wife, the 9 year old and I go out to eat - so games coming to the PC version means I get to play them at least on weekends and the occasional evening when we're planning on catching up on game 5 of the Avs-Stars but I already know the final score and the Xfinity recording can't adjust for the fact that the damn Bruins-Lightning went to two OT so we missed the first period. (That made sense when I typed it, but some 12-year-aged Scotch is asserting itself on my functionality so I can barely see straight, let alone think straight so if I'm less sensical than our boy Shawn Jelsic at least I'm enjoying the f*** out of it).
You have to put the kids in place bro. The highest tier console is Dad's. If they play it, it's a luxury. They get my last console. So now they have an S, and they'll get the One X when the Series X arrives...

The Pope f***ing hates me and my kingdoms guts. I changed religions to one of my own making a generation ago. He flipping goes and holy wars me once a generation. Then it takes me the rest of the generation to regain the lands and titles lost during the war. I swear if I had any allies close to him......
