There have been posts on X/Twitter/Nitter and some Discords that some of the Mod-Menus have bypassed the anti-cheat, which makes all of this crappy for Deck players.

700 for the console, 80 for the Disc drive, and who knows what for the vertical stand on top of that. You are looking at probably 800 USD before any sales tax to get it all. Then you have to pay another 80-160 a year for a PS+ level, it just feels greedy.
The AI upscaling had best be top notch if they want these things to sell, because I’m not seeing a lot of reasons to upgrade from the base model here.
It doesn’t even have a frelling disc drive, get out of here.
I hope this means they will start rethinking that plan to launch a bunch of “Live Service” games by 2026. Of course they could come out with something unique, just Concord wasn’t unique and was just another drop in the bucket of a dozen similar games, many of which are free to play unlike Concord.
Customers who purchased a physical copy not directly from PlayStation will have to refer to that store’s refund process.
Oof, that’s rough because some stores have horrible return policies, with most not taking returns after a game is opened.
Before hitting submit I googled to make sure I remembered right on them wanting 10-12 live service games by 2026, turns out Sony already cut that to 6, but could still do up to 12 depending on how things went. Based on today’s news I’m guessing they’ll stick to 6 here.
The price increases were very high, I imagine a lot of people balked at 135 bucks for Extra, and 150 for Premium. I downgraded to a three month essential plan when the price increase went into effect and am seriously considering dropping Plus completely when it runs out in a couple of weeks, I love single player games and enjoy games like GTA Online and RDR Online, but 80 bucks a year is kind of steep for online play when I never know if I can play or not until I get home.
And yes I know those increases are close to a year old now, but subscriptions are just now running out for some people.
JK Rowling doesn’t believe Transgender people are the sex they identify with and as such is labeled a TERF, Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist, and many, especially on the internet believe she should be boycotted and no self respecting person would give her or her properties a money. You typically will see some form of that comment in most postings related to her or Harry Potter.
“Search or website ads” as a “commercial purpose” and that no one can use Reddit data without permission or paying a fee.
That stock isn’t going to sell itself, it needs value for Spez and friends to earn those golden parachutes.
This is bad for the open web, especially if more large sites follow this idea.
This should be an automatic impound of the vehicle and when the rep comes to pick it up hand them the ticket. Or you know, make the police send them a damn ticket.
What’s their policy when someone buys one of these systems from one of these dickheads?
Most likely their policy is the same as the one Microsoft has for their games and consoles. Microsoft once told me, we’re sorry you purchased a banned console but banned consoles cannot be unblocked, buy a new one next time.
I still burn CDs… my ancient vehicle has a multi-disc changer and doesn’t require my phone to be on, so I like having the best quality I can get before I do the burning.
I was already wary of the change from 2D to 3D, then they had a couple of delays and now the main dev is bouncing just before the supposed release, it all looks really bad. This seems to be a wait a year or two and see if Paradox sorts it out kind of title.
They should have taken the lumps on release when they couldn’t keep up with the demand to play and kept the Sony login requirement. It was there on day one but people couldn’t get in to make accounts so they suspended it. That was a mistake if this was going to be mandatory in the end. They also really screwed up by releasing the game in regions that don’t have PSN, how did that even happen is the big question I want to know.
On the other hand, waving it and allowing people to play it without the 3rd party requirement also showed it’s a crappy requirement that doesn’t seem to do much other than annoy people to allow Sony to collect data. Sony also looks like assholes by changing their web page from “login is optional to play Sony titles on PC” to “some games require login.”
Disclaimer here, I have a PSN account because I’ve owned multiple past Sony consoles so I’m not really affected so much, they already lost and sold my data multiple times. For everybody else, I get why they are pissed.
I would say that depends on a person’s situation, sitting behind a computer in America and seeing things that go bad, it’s easy for me to see them as dysfunctional. If I were sitting in Darfur or Sudan starving to death and they managed to get a convoy of food to my location, I’d probably see them as making life better even if I’m not happy with some of them doing bad things.
I guess it’s I think too often they tend to do things in a way that is less than efficient. Not being party to the myriad of laws they have to cut through to get aid to these places, I’m not sure what could be done better there, I’m very unhappy with the sexual abuse claims and how nothing seems to be done about it. So I guess it’s they are insufficient.
Five countries with veto power on the UN Security Council control everything, and they spend almost all their time bickering with each other because they all want to be the big dog at the table. Sadly, most of those are currently involved in actions that the Security Council should be trying to stop, not engage in.
The UN Member States send somebody that represents whatever current administration is in power, not necessarily the citizens of the countries it’s supposed to represent. If I’m not mistaken a proposal was made in the late 90s about forming a Parliament Assembly but that went nowhere so we are stuck with the General Assembly whose votes mean nothing.
The sex scandals involving UN Peacekeepers. When Peacekeepers arrive, sexual abuse of children tends to go up. How do they do nothing about this?
The UN doesn’t function; some aid gets where it needs to be, but there have been past scandals with that from what I remember. I find the UN to be dysfunctional and set up to fail.
I bought it, but I only have about 9 hours into it so I’m no expert on it, still getting used to it really, part of that “play time” is idle as I do other things while it’s in the background.

EWR is still my favorite booking sim. TEW is just too much, but ProWrestling Sim on Steam is showing some promise I think.
It says they believe that mammoths, bison, horses, and reindeer will trample the grass, knock down trees and compact the snow which will cool the ground, based on a small 2020 study in Siberia that showed places that kept those animals, minus mammoths, had lower soil temps.
I think a much larger test is in order before I buy that’s going to save the permafrost.
I’m not saying it’s good to buy knockoffs, but the right knockoff Jersey on DHGate is sometimes better than the real thing, especially now fanatics have control of pretty much all US sports.
It sounds like they do want to reintroduce them…
Colossal has long claimed that mammoths, should they return to the grasslands in the planet’s northernmost reaches in sufficient numbers, would help slow down permafrost thaw.
They also would be elephant hybrids so not quite mammoths of old.
Just for reference on how low that amount really is to them, they had around 75 Billion in revenue, 2.4 billion of that was net profit in the last year based on a quick search… That makes the fine around 1.3% of their net. A ridiculously small amount for multiple breaches.
