PS5 PSA about Rest Mode -


Basically saying it’s best to turn off Enable HDMI Device Link in settings and put Power to USB to Always or Off if not used. Apparently there’s a bug that can brick systems if not turned off correctly.

So am I reading this right, that the hacker was able to steal all that money by exploiting the crypto used by the game?



If so, how is this more secure then.... anything else?
The cruel bitter irony. I ain't even mad at the hacker. Down with the system!

So much for an elite console that cost $500.

Should have gotten more, and give these fuckers major prison time. At least it's something.




Almost no one cares.

I was gonna ask if anyone even gives a shit about Avengers at this point. I almost never hear it talked about anymore.

It should have been a slam dunk and instead it was "Oh, that thing that sounded really good in theory but SE fucked it up somehow because they figured the license would sell itself and didn't bother to make a good game out of it".

Lesson: The best premise in the world isn't going to mean much if the execution is sloppy and/or lazy.

It isn't. It wasn't designed to be. Its entire purpose is to move money from the pockets of stupid people into the pockets of criminals. The fact that other criminals are stealing from those criminals was unplanned for because the whole enterprise was formed by short-term-thinking scam artists who believe themselves to be soooo much smarter than everyone else.

Almost no one cares.
It could make the game better than sex and it wouldn't matter one jot, because now everyone thinks of it as "that shitty live service game". Maybe this will finally destroy live-service ambitions and force developers to get it right the first time.

Look like some old wounds involving the remake have been reopened during a recruitment drive because of the content quality and ethics department and the typical weebs crying about censorship as always.

How is any of this new or news worthy? This was found out and known years ago. A majority of FFVII fans didn't even care; especially when the remake actually came out. The only ones were a super mall minority, and most of them instantly forgot about it or said water under the bridge.

Wait, there was a problem with TIfa's boobs?

They looked fine to me. I'm not just saying that because I'm a dude and thus my brain is designed to BSOD if i see two breast shaped objects next to each other.

CriticalGaming like seven.
For him, it's his own slice of heaven.
Just don't ask about eight,
It makes him irate,
And no-one dares mention eleven.

I don't know if any of that's true, but meh. :p
I do hate 8 and never played 11 because i didn't have a computer to run an MMO in 2002 or WoW was out. I dunno.

Nice poem though. 10/10
