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.

I think 48 hours was the most. Did it as a Kickstart to a diet.

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.

Reading through this thread, I realize if everyone one here got there way porn would not exist at all, lol.

I really don’t mind much to the point of not wanting it to exist. The stuff I wouldn’t want to see i just don’t watch that type of porn.

I guess if I had to pick one thing, it would be most professional mainstream porn where fake tits are the norm and, for some reason, they always were the worst over the top outfits. It definitely has gotten better since, say, the 90s, but it still exists. Gimme no makeup, natural, and her wearing everyday normal clothes any day.

Just curious, is your comment about fake moaning and fake dirty talk apply to every single video or do some actually do ok?

I was in my early 20s and had the best times of my life. I just moved out of my parents’ home and lived in a place with a friend. Since I was one of the first to do so, our place was a very big hangout for other friends. I had a real job that I just started in 2006 but didn’t care much about it like I sadly do today (still at the same place). I discovered what I love, which was music and beer. We went on half country road trips to hit up breweries and bring home the best beer we couldn’t get back home. I went to concerts in NY weekly, and around this time, I had a record 180 concerts in 1 year. Had the time of my life just hanging out doing everything I wanted to.

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.

I have a terrible memory, but for the money you’re giving, I would invest a decent amount of time into reciting this over and over for hours and make it into a game the best I can. Considering the potential of this making all my financial issues go away, it seems like a very easy solution.

Yup, as much as I wanna play this, im going to pass. Hope they get the boycott they were hoping to avoid.

If it’s true to the original, I see no reason not to play the new one instead. As someone who played everything just by being able to grow up in the perfect time to experience it all, I can honestly say it’s hard at my age to go back sometimes without the quality of life updates. I just don’t have the time or care anymore to be able to, sadly.

It’s been about 20 years since the last time I picked it up, so I hope to play this one someday soon as well.

“An issue with a routine firewall upgrade resulted in some callers from the Northern Territory, South Australia, Western Australia and New South Wales not being able to make emergency calls. Approximately 600 calls were identified to have failed during the outage, and at least four people who attempted to call Triple Zero during the outage have been confirmed to have died.”

Wow, as someone who works in this exact role of upgrading firewalls i can tell you i have an incredible amount of anxiety when we need to do them because it is a high risk device that has caused issues in the past. Thankfully, our problems would never lead to the deaths of others, and I really can’t imagine how anyone who had a hand in this upgrade feels after hearing that. Plus, with how much attention it has, someone, if not multiple people, are going to lose their jobs. Sadly, after it upgraded, it probably worked fine except for this one or a few policies that controlled this one specific route. So nobody would have been able to tell until complaints rolled in. I dont even work in a huge company, and ours have hundreds of individual policies, so they easily could have a thousand or thousands of policies on 1 firewall. I really wonder what vendor they use.
