Took the first one for Split. They are all used. Thanks. I am still hopeful they update it to give us an option to sort through movies to choose by date, A-Z, 4K etc.

I had credit expiring at best buy so decided to get midnight suns last night since it was on sale. It said it would be delivered tomorrow but got a notice today that it was out for delivery through shipt and the person sent a few texts including any tips are appreciated with their cashapp/venmo. Is anyone familiar with this and is it standard that shipt deliveries aren't made apparent at order? Makes me even less likely to use best buy if I don't know if I'd be tipping on top of the purchase price until after I place the order.

I played telling lies partly with a guide and partly without. It was an interesting game but think I should've not looked at a guide at first as it slightly hindered the experience. I definitely wouldn't have been able to find all the keywords without it probably. A few other FMV games I want to play, hope some come to gamepass.

Topcashback gives 7% back from purchases as long as you go through their website. Just search Microsoft store.


That's what I usually use as well. Got an email today that there's a $2.50 bonus for spending $10 or more. That always seems to motivate me to spend on these weekly sales.

The shipt employee is absolutely not supposed to be begging for tips, they should only contact you that your package is being delivered and even then that is a stretch. You should report that.
Best Buy seems to have issues displaying whether a delivery is coming via shipt or not

I never heard of Top Cash back. That's another one to add to the list. Rakuten seems to be the one I use the most. I don't know when the other ones pay out but rakuten takes a while. I get paid next month. Seems like it's only three times a year. I like Swagbucks because I can get the money or gift card I want at any time. Usually takes about 10 days to get PayPal.

Interesting. I had no idea it was a thing with best buy and when I googled it briefly I mostly just saw people on reddit delivering with the app to not accept best buy deliveries. I just assumed it was a Door dash type thing but tipping was post purchase and best buy neglected to divulge it would be shipped that way.

Wish I had seen your post earlier. Made an $8 purchase on Xbox. Would have spent $10 if I had seen this. Wish the offer was longer then until Sunday.

Topcashback usually takes 2-3 months.

Got some time with MH Rise on console, playing on default and I'm getting screen tearing. I never notice tearing and I have a VRR set. But there's definite desync lines occurring. 

 

I generally don't give a shit about Tomb Raider, I'm mildly curious with a new writer for the media version(Phoebe Waller Bridge of Fleabag fame) and wonder if the new games will be syncing at all. Possible. 

 

 

Last weekend of the month, have some movies.

It's awesome having a version of Goldeneye on Xbox as a free addition to an older game and included in GamePass. I enjoy the nostalgia trip and updated controls...it's good times at a great price tag!

Cashback posted for Dead Space. $4.41 for $62.99 via credit. Not bad. Don't mind the 90 day wait.

Also, Goldeneye is great. Yes the fps is not consistent, yes it could be more optimized, but I don't care. It's not broken.

I probably played more Goldeneye than anything else for about a year when it came out. Got 007 Agent on all levels. All the speed run times. Memorized every enemy like it was Contra.

I have Dead Space waiting for me and all I want to do is keep playing Goldeneye. Higher res, better texture filtering, etc. Put it on 1.2 Solitare, make sure the Y axis is inverted, and go kill some low poly bad guys.

Obviously I wish it was the 360 remake. But having this in a playable, stable state with achievements makes this 90s player happy.

Got my boys 17+23  to sit down and play Goldeneye split screen with me, and at first they were complaining about graphics controls etc, especially after I won first game, then they started winning a few, we ended up playing straight for 2 hours didn't even know, flew by played all levels different weapons, in the end they admitted it was fun, now trying to unlock more levels.  We found grenade launchers, golden gun or pistols were the most fun.  Mines were just stupid, everywhere you run you die, was funny though. Also stack and basement best maps for close range. Cave was too dark, couldn't see anything.

Anyone using Microsoft cash back to get the 7% back on digital games. It works much better if you go in, add it to your cart. And then go through the Microsoft cash back page and go straight to your cart and check out.

This is what I used to do. One day, the rebate stopped being added. I thought it was patched. I'll give it another go.

 

What cash back program does receipt pics?  Didn't know that was a thing

 

Amazong Shopper Panel is one. You get $10 in amazon gift cards uploading any 10 reciepts.

 

Swagbucks, Fetch are 2 I know of.

 

Microsoft Rewards is the one I'm referring to here. There are plenty of others (Fetch, Ibotta, Checkout51) that I use as well. Submitting one receipt to multiple places is great.

This is new to me. Thank you.

 

Ooooh, if you customize the controls on the Xbox version and change the DPad from nothing to move and strafe, you can strafe run like the original when using the DPad. Still can't peak, but it's an improvement.

Nice find! Something else to play with.

I've only played the Dam level on agent (1:12). Still seeing what is different from the N64 as for speed and optimization (classic feel). There must be a way to peak, somewhere.

This is the info I needed! You can technically do it with twin sticks but it's not worth it.

Introduced Goldeneye to my 13 year old. We played split screen, both winning a couple of times and we are alternating clearing levels or if we die, we switch.. He keeps asking to play it again and again lol.

He keeps asking me "where's Oddjob?" I didn't remember if you had to unlock him?

I think you have to beat the game once to unlock him. I remember using a cheat code to unlock everything back in the day. Very cool that kids still appreciate the jank we had to endure back then!

I never owned an N64 but played Goldeneye at my friend's house a lot growing up. I totally played through the first mission easily precision sniping enemies from long range. It felt amazing being able to control the gun so much more easily. I failed the mission because I forgot to address all the alarms but killed everyone. I guess modern gaming checklist laziness screwed me lol.

Okay then Swagbucks pays the quickest so far. It's in my signature in case anyone is interested. They pay in SB which is the same as pennies. So 1 SB equals 1 penny. They don't just offer cash back though. They have all different kinds of offers and a trivia show M-F at 5 pm PST where you can win money. The trivia show doesn't pay much as I usually average 20 cents or so depending on how people answer. There is also a 7 days a week trivia show that pays up to 10 cents you can play anytime in a 24 hour period. The best part about Swagbucks is the cash back on offers though. I have signed up for 1 month of Hulu for $7.99 and got $40 back. Donated $15 to a charity and got back $45. Signed up with Sofi and put $5 in my account and got back $100. Signed up with webull and got $50. Stuff like that. I am at almost $800 total that I have gotten back. Regarding receipts, they usually pay 2SB so any receipt but have all different brands of items that pay more. Regarding cash back on items, I have found that Rakuten and Befrugal tend to be better but I still use them sometimes.

This appears to be working now.  Had played some games on PC earlier and it must've tracked that since I was playing on console when I got the notification.

I recently did it about 5 days ago and the mission completed a day or two ago, which was actually really odd because normally it takes longer than that. Sometimes I noticed that it doesn't pop after 7 days when I add friends/followers earlier in the month and have to do it again.
