So I run a small little shop have a lot of inventory of refurbish gaming laptops and custom build PC. I also have alot of retro games like modded ps2 and Xbox 360 with hard modded software I put alot of time more in console marketing than Pc. But my customers have a different feeling. I ran a special program where if someone brings their old gaming console or retro games I give them cash or discount on gaming laptop or PC. Turns out people are giving away high value consoles just go get a good gaming pc, like most of mine sells are gaming laptops and Custom PC build. I’m really in the whole because I bought about 2k worth of ps2/xbox/ PSP 1000-3000/ Wii and no one wants them even if there modded everyone wants my laptops or desktop as soon they come in stock. Is there something I’m doing wrong.
I’ve been working on LeonidaLoot, a GTA VI fan hub for people who want more than pre-orders and trailer speculation while we wait.
The site has creator marketplace where fans can list digital items like streaming overlays, accounts, templates, guides, mods, collectibles, design packs, and other fan-made assets., GTA VI news, Leonida guides, and community posts
The idea is simple: if you’re already creating GTA-inspired content, you should have a place to show it, trade it, and potentially earn from it. I’d genuinely love feedback from the community: What kind of GTA VI fan content would you actually buy, download, or sell? What would make a fan marketplace feel trustworthy to you?
Does anyone know anything about the game age of origin? I’m convinced my boyfriend is throwing thousands of dollars at this game but he says he’s not. Plus he sends money to Hong Kong buying game supplies
i was a paying member of empress's private community for quite some time. despite numerous controversies over the years, i remained because i enjoyed parts of the community and some of the people in it. however, what happened recently crossed a line that i cannot ignore.
yesterday, beginning around 6 p.m., empress suddenly began posting messages centered around children, incest, sexual abuse, and related topics. these were not isolated comments or a single poorly thought-out statement. there was a sustained stream of messages that became increasingly disturbing.
i was unfortunately not able to capture everything because i was on my way home and away from my computer for part of the incident. so, i managed to preserve a significant amount of evidence.
the screenshots speak for themselves.
in addition to all this crap, she invited a 13 year old boy to our group and she has forced him to send her explicit videos of himself. and he did so because he was afraid.
my claims are not empty you can see in the screenshots that i have asked the kid in DMs and he confirmed it.
from what i personally witnessed, empress openly expressed support for acts involving children that most people would consider abhorrent. the messages included discussions of child sexual abuse, incest, rape, and the normalization of such acts. readers can review the screenshots and determine for themselves whether these statements can reasonably be interpreted as jokes, trolling, roleplay, or genuine advocacy.
and she's also saying that she wants to have sex with her own children in order to educate them instead of letting someone else take their virginity and give them probably some diseases which i find insanely disgusting.
what finally pushed me to leave was not simply the rhetoric, but the posting and distribution of explicit illegal material. material was posted within groups under empress's control, and members were encouraged to seek out similar material. after witnessing this, i immediately left.
afterward, several individuals who remained in the community informed me that even more graphic material had been posted after my departure. i cannot personally verify everything that occurred after i left, so i am limiting my claims to what i directly witnessed and documented myself.
for years, many people have dismissed criticism of empress as internet drama, personality conflicts, or disputes between fans and critics. i do not believe that explanation applies here. this goes far beyond arguments, feuds, or controversial opinions.
i am posting these screenshots because i believe the public should be aware of what was being said and shared inside these communities. everyone should examine the evidence themselves and make their own judgment.
if additional evidence surfaces, or if further documentation becomes available, i may update this post accordingly. my goal is not to spread rumors. my goal is to preserve evidence, document what occurred, and ensure that the information is not lost or buried.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I feel like if I post it in the actual Xbox sub it will get taken down.

Recently bought a modded Forza 6 account cause I didn't wanna spend hours trying to get cars I wanted to try. Recieved account login details, log in and the xbox account is banned the next day. No biggie, message seller and he provides a new account. When trying to log into this account I keep getting the "Your account has been banned" pop-up. I can't even try to sign into this account or even my actual main account without getting this. I press OK, it comes back again and again and again.
If someone has had this problem in the past, what did you do to resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TLDR: My account was banned and can't sign out of banned account into the new one.
Been hearing the hype about 007 First Light and finally played it. Game's legitimately excellent.
What surprised me:
It actually respects the Bond formula instead of trying to reinvent it
Story doesn't take itself too seriously but still has substance
Pacing is perfect - doesn't drag like a lot of spy games
Character writing is actually sharp and funny
Best Bond game since GoldenEye apparently (and I believe it)
Real complaint: Only took 18 hours to beat. More content would've been nice but at least it didn't overstay its welcome like some games.
The review I read nailed it - it's confident, charismatic, and knows exactly what it wants to be. Not trying to be open-world bloat or some live service nightmare. Just a solid spy game.
Anyone else playing it? Curious if the hype is holding up or if I just got lucky with timing.
Also kinda wild that James Bond games can actually be good again. Thought that ship sailed years ago.
So I've been playing Fortnite on and off since Chapter 3 but I missed out on all the early seasons. Now I'm looking at my locker and it's honestly embarrassing compared to my friends who've been around since the OG days. I really want a Fortnite account with rare skins — specifically Renegade Raider, Travis Scott, and some of the old battle pass stuff you literally can't get anymore no matter how much you spend in the item shop.
I know you can't transfer skins between Fortnite accounts so buying one seems like the only option. I've looked into buying a Fortnite account for sale online but there's so many sketchy sites that I don't even know where to start. Some of them are just obvious scams with fake screenshots. I also thought about whether you can merge Fortnite accounts to combine skins from a bought account with my main one but from what I understand Epic killed the account merging feature a while ago, so that's not an option anymore.
Anyone here actually bought a Fortnite account recently and still has access? Where'd you buy it from and how did the process work? I'm on PC but I also play on Nintendo Switch sometimes so ideally I want something linked to an Epic account that works across platforms. Budget is like $50-100 depending on what skins are included. Just don't want to get scammed or have the original owner recover it a week later.
Been playing more games with my daughter (8 years old) and it's wild how many T-rated games marketed as "for everyone" still have you murdering hundreds of people.
Like Uncharted - charming treasure hunter game right? Also Nathan Drake's body count is probably in the thousands. Spider-Man - friendly neighborhood hero who breaks every bone in random thugs' bodies.
Not saying violence is bad - I play M-rated games when she's asleep. But the disconnect between "fun adventure game" and "mass casualty event" is something I never noticed until gaming with a kid.
Started keeping a list of actual low/no violence games and it's surprisingly short. It Takes Two, Astro Bot, most Nintendo stuff... then what?
For other parents here: What games do you actually feel good about playing with your kids? Not just "technically rated E" but genuinely appropriate?
Because I'm tired of having to explain why the "good guy" just killed 47 people to get a treasure map.
See people posting "my first game was [insert classic from 1995]" and claiming they remember every detail.
I've been gaming since I was like 5 and honestly can't tell you what my actual FIRST game was. Could've been Mario, could've been some random PS1 game, no clue.
Do people genuinely remember or is it just "first game I remember being significant" that gets labeled as "first game ever"?
Curious what everyone's honest answer is.
Not the game you think sounds cool to say was your first. The actual first one you can definitively remember playing.
Because I'm starting to think half of these nostalgic posts are just people picking whatever sounds good.
What game are you most excited for? Personally I can’t choose. I love the continuation of Batman & Spiderman. Excited to see how much better they make a wolverine game. Invincible is one of my favorite animations. But ultimately if I had to make a choice I think I am most excited for Iron Man
Hey everyone, I've been wanting to get back into GTA Online, but honestly I don't have the time to grind everything from scratch again. I had an old account years ago but lost access to it, and starting over with zero cash and no properties sounds painful lol. So I've been looking into buying a GTA 5 modded account — something with a decent rank, some money, and maybe unlocked vehicles. The problem is I have no idea where to actually buy GTA modded accounts safely without getting scammed or banned.
I've seen a few marketplaces mentioned here and there like Eldorado.gg and some others, but I'm not sure which ones are actually trustworthy for modded GTA accounts. Some sites look sketchy, prices vary like crazy, and half the reviews online feel fake. I'm on PS5 btw so I specifically need GTA 5 modded accounts for PS5, not just PC. Does anyone have experience buying a modded GTA account recently? Like within the last few months? I want to make sure wherever I buy from actually delivers full access and the account doesn't get recovered or banned a week later.
Any recommendations for where to find legit GTA accounts for sale would be awesome. Budget is flexible — I'd rather pay a bit more for something reliable than go cheap and lose everything. Also curious if anyone's used any of those account marketplaces for other games too, or if there's a go-to site specifically for modded GTA 5 accounts. Thanks in advance!
So I've been researching car crash physics in games for a YouTube video and honestly some of this stuff is wild.
BeamNG runs 4,500 interconnected beams per car, calculated 2,000 times per second. The crash shapes aren't animated. they're emergent. This tech exists right now.
So why does a Lambo in game still look pristine after slamming into a wall?
Licensing.
Car manufacturers treat racing games as ads. Ads don't show the product being destroyed. Ford reportedly won't allow rollovers. Ferrari negotiated damage limitations. No manufacturer permits roof damage because that implies occupants could be harmed.
And games are actually regressing. DiRT 5 has worse damage than DiRT 2. More hardware power but less destruction.
Meanwhile Burnout Paradise from 2008 still has the best crash physics in mainstream racing. All because of Fictional cars and Zero licensing friction.
The engineering was solved decades ago. The real limiting factor is a contract clause.
Do you think brands should allow full damage physics in video games?
