Classic? What? I’m really that old?
I thought it was called the 360 because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away.
Dunno if i’ve been whooshed or if you have a poor understanding of geometry, but have a good day either way.
Guys, these consoles are so old I’ve seen these kinds of memes since the PS4 and Xbox One days. I think its time to accept they’re retro
My first 360 game was FF XIII. Had a massive crush on Lightning.
It’s 21 years old this year 😭
Take solace that old != obsolete.
I still play Just Cause 2, Fallout 3 and a bunch of 360 GOATs
That particular 360 is the new Xbox 360 that came with the Kinect and is only about 13 years old
That’s older than the NES was when the Dreamcast was released.
My current annoyance: my Xbox 360 works just fine, but none of the controllers turn on while battery powered. (IR remote works, but it’s not exactly suitable for gaming.) And Xbox 360 was the pinnacle of Microsoft’s “well we have to do slightly incompatible shit just for the hell of it” attitude - you can’t just use a standard USB cable, it uses USB over a weird proprietary connector. (On the other hand, I’ve looooooved Xbox One and later controllers on PC, they have standard plugs)
My Halloween tradition is Bullet Witch - had to jank up the PC version to working state last year when I first noticed this problem with the 360 controllers.
Edit: Oh wow, I managed to find a 360 controller battery holder that actually works. Geometry Wars Evolved 2 status: got the first cheevo
You can also find replacement batteries online, though hard to say how easy the replacement will be. Wasn’t bad for ps3 or wii u controllers, but no idea how ms approached it.
The official Xbox 360 rechargeable batteries were absolute hogwash. Terrible battery life when they were new, and it just kept getting even worse really fast.
I could imagine the third party batteries being better. I’ve only ever had one set of Xbox One/Series controller rechargeable batteries (third party but AFAIK officially licensed) and they’re working just fine.
Battery tech has improved a lot since they came out and (at least for the other two systems mentioned, plus any other device I’ve replaced the battery for) you can often find batteries with better specs than the original for longer lasting (before recharge is required, can’t say yet about total lifetime).
It’s also not a bad idea to check if your batteries have become danger pillows, though the controller ones tend to be housed in hard plastic that makes it less obvious, but my wii u battery did feel like it had a bit of a bulge to it, leading to a nervous period where I had gotten rid of the old battery but was still waiting for the new one to be shipped lol.
I still have an OG Wii. That thing is a BEAST, even today.
BTW, I had to put all my media in chronological folders yesterday so Nova Media Player could see / stream it from my NAS correctly while I fix my Raspberry Pi / finally bite the bullet and install Proxmox.
Firefly, Harold And Kumar, Knights Tale, Constantine, Austin Powers, Iron man 1, Matrix and bunch of other stuff circa 1999-2009.
It took me right back to people and places. And then it hit me -
“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain”.
Fuck you for hitting me while I’m down.
I was watching my roommate try to play portal the other day. He’s touchscreen generation. Never used a controller before.
It was a horrible thing to watch. Lots of “I can’t” shit you would get from a 6 year old.
To be fair, playing fps with controller has always been garbage.
To be fair to be fair, Portal on Xbox controller is entirely serviceable. You don’t need super fast precision control in Portal anyway.
The fuck you on about? Have you ever played Portal beyond the first rooms? You definitely need fast and precise aiming in Portal.
That true, but the setup we are on can’t use a mouse. (Sunshine on Apple TV.)
Amazing console that can be easily softmodded nowadays. mine has a 1tb hdd attached, with over 200 games (incl. ~1/3 from xbox classic). I’ve been using it more than the PS4 or Steam, until I modded my PS4 too recently
My problem with the PS4 and the Switch was the library. Modding a 360 is just better.
On the other hand, most of the games I’ve gotten for my PS5 are PS4 games, though tbf they are mostly from the used game bargain bin at EB Games, so I guess it says more about the cheap ps4 library vs ps5.
Recently i feel the years piling up on me… i mean, for me, personaly, in my feelings, a C64 is old, a Core2Duo with 2 GB RAM is still a pretty decent office machine, i still convert € to DM in my head and an Xbox 360 is still the console i was well too eager to buy
a couple of years… goddamn… about 20 years ago.I’m in this comment and I don’t like it
Still have mine hooked up for the kinect
I played GTA 5 on the 360. Retro my ass.
But seriously, I have started considering this console as retro. Going back to 2006 and beyond is when I started looking at N64 as retro and GC/PS2/Xbox as ‘the old’. Now PS4/XBO is ‘the old’ and well… yeah… its been 20 years.
I think just the fact that we’re playing some of the same games as we did on 360/PS4 is whats keeping it alive for longer and out of the retro light.
Oh shit. I recently got a core duo for Christmas so I can finally play Lego racers… Recently 25 years ago omfg.
GTA V is as old today as quake 3 arena was when battlefield 4 was released.
Wake up, gen z boys and girls. You are not kids anymore. You are old af.
as an early 90s-born millennial near the upper limit of gen z, it’s been great seeing them discover mid 20s aging as I enter my early 30s :) it doesn’t stop Gen Z. You keep on aging from here on out. I remember thinking the 70s were only 30 years ago, and the 80s only 20.
it feels like there are 2 kinds of people: those who feel old at 23, and those who don’t stop feeling like a child until every hair on their head and face is gray.
I’d fall into the latter category because i’m 26 and i don’t feel quite adult yet, despite the front of my chin being gray already.
Though on the flip side, remember that however old you are right now, it’s also the youngest you’ll ever be going forward.
Feeling old in your 20s? Many people are active into their 60s, some keep going strong into their 90s.
Unless you’re recovering from illness or injury, the current version of your body might be the best version you’ll ever see again.
Though one suggestion that left my own body far more capable, if you’re the skinny and weak type, do some proper workouts. Proper as in spend the time to learn proper form and also ensure you’re getting enough energy and protein in your diet. You’ll gain strength that will stay with you until you do get really old (assuming your body doesn’t atrophy due to starvation or being bedridden before then).
Eg, when I first started working out, I couldn’t curl 20 lbs, had to go down to 15. But I was curling 20 a week or two later and was pushing 40 lbs about a year or two later, then my workout habit dropped off and 8 years have passed and I can still curl over 30 lbs when I get curious in the dumbbell section of stores that carry them.
I used to be over 300lbs a year ago, I’m 170 now after a lot of work. That may be true for most, but 10 years ago my body was horrific
Congrats, that’s some great progress!
Yeah, the bit about working out was intended to be an exception to what I was saying, but I didn’t communicate it very well.
I know xd they still believe they are little kids dependent on daddy and mommy.
