Yep, even cheap $20 earbuds connected to the controller work with it.

After using the ps4 and ps5 for many, many years (together - obviously I haven’t had the ps5 very long)... nothing has ever convinced me that the touchpad is anything more than an annoying gimmick. 99.9% of games I’ve ever played don’t do anything more with it than using as a giant “select” button, and the ones that…

Exactly this. It’s why the red hats are very much in favor of laws keeping municipal broadband from happening.

Who knows? All I know is that I personally have no interest in seeing anything with Snyder’s name associated with it after BvS.

No, the original plates were 49.99 - I checked my receipt.

To be fair, the black plates I got from Dbrand nicely makes my PS5 disappear into the cabinet it’s in. (Before you scream at me about heat build up, the front is open and the back has a nice fan that circulates air whenever the ps5 is on). It’s a huge improvement, you only really notice the thing when it’s turning on…

I don’t know if it makes it better or worse... but I definitely would have bought Detective Whiskers 10 years ago, based on the title alone.

The Nook’s Cranny carried random selections of items, and if they didn’t happen to have the exact piece of furniture you wanted, you had to wait until they did. And even if it was in stock, it might not have been in the color you wanted. Honestly, this felt too much like real life.

I mean, I stopped hoping that anyone in our government would do anything about climate change years ago. “Nothing has changed” is literally the only thing that we can ever expect. Words are wind.

Honestly, even old ps4 games that don’t even have a ‘ps4 pro’ upgrade benefit from the improved loading times of the ps5, and they’re not somehow unfun because they’re from the previous gen. Granted, I went from an OG ps4 so it’s probably a bigger upgrade for me, but it’s definitely worth it even to play BC ps4 games.

Yep, I have a few ps4 games I’ve play on my ps5 and some of them have had exponential improvements on load times. One in particular had it’s loading times cut down to 1/10th of what it was. For that matter, I did a side by side on Valhalla before the ps5 version came out - PS4 version on the ps4, from start to loading…

Yep, and not only that, that assumes that everyone is just playing one game on the console... What? The rest of the reasoning also doesn’t make sense - would most people install the ps5 next to their ps4 (assuming they had one) and then insist on only playing ps5 games on the ps5 and everything else on the 4? That…

My nit is the odd texture of the face buttons (square, triangle, etc.). Something about it feels so off and made the controller feel cheap to me. However, I got used to it for the most part so now I only really notice it if I think about it.

Either that or there are a bunch people that have been playing through it over and over since it was released, lol. Which, although it’s a great game, sounds insane to me.

Miles in particular stands out to me - doesn’t it clock in at around 10 hours? I mean, I haven’t played Demon Souls (games that punish you for wanting to play them isn’t my thing) but I imagine getting through that is probably at least 40-50 hours if not more. Valhalla,well, you can easily throw 100 hours into that…

Especially considering how short it is (doubly so when compared to the original), it’s kind of amazing it would get anywhere near a list of top games by hours played. I’m pretty sure I sneezed and went from the opening scene to the end boss.*

*this is, how you say, a joke.

Cant you get rid of the hedges with the island cleanup option, though?

I’m just grateful they just put out a proper wait list and didn’t arbitrarily limit pre-orders like MS and Sony did. I didn’t decide to preorder one until a full week later and I was still able to reserve a copy - no drama, no refreshing, no staying up until the tiny hours of the morning only to be disappointed.

Being well known sadly provides a lot of moderation-armor to just about anyone despite their political affiliation. If the orange nutcase had been just some Joe Schmo and not a reality tv star, you can bet his account would have been suspended ages before it actually was.

I can only hope that their idiotic screams of (repeatedly proven false*) election fraud causes their bases to stay home when the polls open, but I have a feeling that won’t happen.

*ok, there have been very few isolated cases... but they’ve almost entirely** been votes cast in favor of the reds, sooooo...

**and I only…
