So called 'friends' on XBL


Recommended Posts

guys with female avatars always creep me out. sorry but if you want to be a women in a virtual game i question everything about your manhood.

I dunno, one could make the argument that it's actually more manly to play as a woman. After all, you're staring at your character all day in something like World of Warcraft. Might as well stare at a hot chick the whole time rather than a guy.

Haha, that is another issue. Take a look at the avatar the topic creator made... looks kind of creepy to me. And sorry to say, she does look a bit tranny or cross dresser to me.

I think it's a little bit weird to have a female avatar if you're a male, but if they talked to you before online and got along and knew you were a guy I see no reason for all of them to delete you. You said you did share e-mails and pictures with one, though, which makes me wonder if they didn't delete you for your avatar but just because the girl you were talking to suddenly decided she doesn't like you for some reason.

Either way, doesn't really matter too much. It's strange to have an avatar of a different sex, but there's nothing that can stop you from doing it and there's no policy saying you have to match your avatar to you.

thats one side. i see video games as escapism and you are putting yourself or your fantasy into a game. So if you picture in your head this sweet amazon running around killing stuff more power to you. But seeing as the avatar was intended to either represent you or your personality its a little weird. its just my .02 i could actually care less either way.

Here's a thought, girls talk (Y) :p

They might have talked when you weren't around and thought to themselves there is something more sinister with you dressing like a female and being much older than them. It's definitely not "normal" behaviour, even on XBL..

What I bolded sounds about right to me. For whatever reason they decided they did not like you any more. Might have been the avatar, might have been something you said and do not even recall, might have been numerous things. Whatever it was it was probably really stupid and it sounds like you are probably much better off without them.

Honestly the more I think about it, the more I would think guys would have the issue with the whole avatar thing, not girls, especially if you already had talked to them before the avatars. It just does not really add up to me.

I'm SO glad I haven't been so unfortunate to deal with ****tards like that. They act exactly the same as they would in real life.

Sure you can say that you find the females to have more options, etc... but I think the general consensus of making an avatar is to make one that represents you, be it how you look or your personal style. I imagine that to be the population's mindset.

Really? I actually find that they have a much smaller wardrobe to choose from. :huh:

Considering like 95% of Xbox players are guys.

Oh, I actually have no idea. I was just going off on what the topic creator said in the first page. Didn't try to create a female myself... you, on the other hand... why don't you take a seat over here :D j/k.

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product.
