Took me a while to realize that hotel in Disco Elysium is indeed "Whirling-In-Rags" instead of "Whirligig-In-Rags".

I tried to use the Microsoft store to download outerworlds.

It didn't recognize my pc, so I tried to add my pc to my Microsoft account. Needed a password. I typed in my password, didn't accept it.

Repeated it until I reset my password. Reset, done tried it again, still no.

Repeat that process a few more times until I got fed up and called tech support.

Despite the guys best efforts, it didn't really get much done.

Finally, I refunded the game, and tried my other Microsoft account. Run into the same problems again.

Refunded the game twice. Fuck the Microsoft store, fuck the registering of Microsoft products to your Microsoft account for a game to install you bought on its own fucking store.

Buy physical or buy it on Epic or Steam when it comes out for that.

The Microsoft store is pain. Let me install the game I bought for the PC I have without registering my pc to your account.

Well I know that now.

But holy shit, how bad do you have to fuck up at being a store when Epic Games has the better launcher?

Mainly beacuse, if you buy a game on it, you can download it and play it.


Same goes for Steam except Steam is just better, but both are more functional then the Microsoft store.

Thats about the only thing it's useful for.

Certainly can't buy games on it beacuse "YoU NeeD To ReGISTEr YuR ComPUTER to Ur WndOWs AccCOunt" instead of, just buying it and downloading it.

Like say, sensible logical storefronts do (Gog, Steam, Epic, Even Origin)

The only game I have from the microsoft store is minecraft, but that was because I had bought it years ago on xbox one. They have since gotten rid of xbox one edition, pocket edition, and etc, fusing it all into one nice package of bedrock edition. Giving previous edition users the new minecraft copy that can do crossplay, and you can get it on mobile, console, and any other device that isn't pc. Safe to say, I didn't have to go through the purchasing process for it. Dodging the bullet.

That movie is forever tainted for me, after seeing on Twitter an interpretation of what Sonic on the movie poster would look like from the back. Sonic's ass is permanently seared into my mind since then...

The apps are mostly ignorable actually. And Cortana can be killed and the corpse burnt by using free third party programs.

Holy fuck.

The whole reason why my laptop wasn't detected as able to download Outerworlds was beacuse I didn't have an update from windows installed.

Why did it lead me down a goose chase of trying to add my laptop to my Microsoft account despite it already being there, I have no fucking clue.

I wish it could have just said "you can't download this until you update your computer" instead of this wild fucking goose chase.

His design is soo much better than it was before, and i thought the trailer was a good deal better than the original one.

Still no interest in watching it tho for me as im not a sonic person. Hope it does well tho and we have at least one decent video game movie.

Dang, that sucks.

It wasn't even a small update, it wasn't even an automatic update.
It was one where you need to download the Windows 10 Update Assistant to do this long ass update.
It didn't even take me to the page to get Windows 10 Update Assistant. I had to google that on my own as it was the last thing I could think of to make this work.

And then, it took longer to install. And then it took forever for it to restart beacuse it needed more installing.

All of this beacuse the Microsoft Store requires you to have your computer added to your windows account to install things you bought.

Why am I not even surprised at this point.

I sent them an customer service response message after I told them to cancel my first refund for the Outer worlds.

It was just my last two form posts on this thread.

Fuck the windows store.

It wasn't just that, it was a soul sucking time wasting experience.

An experience that could and should have just been Buy the game -> Download the game -> Play the game,

Like every other store front on the internet.

Not whatever the fuck they wanted me to do here.
