It’s sad that none of these people you deal with don’t know what service they use or vendors they deal with? That sounds fantastic for you, scary for everyone else.

Im guessing speed. To me, one of my favorite improvements over the ps4 was load speeds of everything. It felt like I went back in time to SNES days when walking into the next room was instant, unlike on the ps1 for the same games.

Im almost not sure if I want that. Most of the games I would do that for are older games from like 25 years ago, and I honestly can’t see playing them today and ever having those fond moments like I did then. In my case, the time of playing them also mattered a lot.

MAHA is funny because it actually sounds like the 1 good thing out of all the crap that’s been going on. Then you look into it, and it’s just as bad as the rest… sure you got some stuff that is positive, but then you see the people who he looks to, and they are all extremists who either contradict themselves or dont actually have any real evidence of anything they spout. They also want some ridiculous changes as well. Idk why it’s so hard to do the right thing for anything, but here we are. Its not like we dont have a bunch of other countries to turn to for examples of what to do either!

I am old because, for me, my favorite was battlefield 1942. Had so much fun, and it wasn’t as competitive, which i enjoyed even more.

But only relatively recently have demos started allowing you to play through a long demo and allow you to use that save and continue playing the full game if you purchase it. They wouldn’t be that long if that wasn’t an option since you dont want people to get too far only to make them start over.

I didn’t think it was that crazy either, until I booted my old ps4 up about a year later, and im sorry, but it made me appreciate how fast the ps5 is. It really is slow, and once you’re used to it, it was very hard to go back, haha.

You can change the default audio device through settings. I set mine to headphones, so it just starts through it, and if I needed to switch, i do it through the menu.

Only 1 less year than the ps4 pro. It’s not really that bad. I don’t own it, but I don’t mind that it exists. If it was cheaper and I had a better tv that took advantage of its features, maybe I would have swapped for it.

Although I had the same experience, I was finally able to get one after a few months. I was very happy I got one over building a PC because at the time PC GPUs were ridiculous amounts of money, and I felt the PS5 was a great deal over the PC. I ended up building a new one in 2023 a few months after prices started falling a bit finally and thought it worked out perfectly.

I still use my PS5 more than my PC just because it sits in our main room and has the nicer TV screen. Everything has its use. If anything, I am always disappointed. I built such a nice PC and haven’t used it as much as I would have liked by now.

I love those demo’s, but it’s on purpose! They want you to play enough so you get hooked enough to want to buy it once it ends. A few hours into an rpg is nothing, but once you invested that much, there’s probably a higher chance you buy it to continue playing.

Now I am confused. Those are not fiber cables. They are regular ethernet ones. No light is in them. If you’re talking about fiber in general, then that would make more sense.

Ok, I figured, but you never know.

Wait really? I’ve never heard this before. How or why does this matter at all?

There have been some really weird shower thoughts lately. What’s going on? It’s not even a thought, just someone’s weird opinion.

Absolutely, we are coming out with new versions of RAM and PCI express and hardware that won’t take advantage of those specks for years. I built a mid tier to slightly lower end pc in 2016, and it can still play most games at max for 1080, which is fine. I built a newer higher end one near the end of 2023, and I fully expect to use this for the next 10 years min. Gone are the days of innovation where year to year would bring something crazy. I like that. Buying something that won’t be outdated in 3 years is perfectly fine by me.

Someone’s getting desperate for new ideas.

Normally, a 2nd company is used where they exploit the first to further grow this one and funnel any actual money into it while bankrupting the first. I am curious to see what aspect of this helps that and what company it will be that profits from it.

Guaranteed years from now, tons of people still buy madden and have no idea EA was ever sold. Honestly, even if they did know, im sure most will still buy it.

Man, I am jealous of how much you get to play, lol. I am literally at the last hour of this game from when it first released, but I haven’t been able to finish it since… same goes for everything I play. I recently saw you going through the last of us 2, and it’s the same for that, but im only about halfway. List goes on and on and I haven’t picked up anything really in the last year that’s not a free monthly game.

I think your post is going to motivate me. Im going to try and beat it this week and break my awful no finish streak.
