Pretty sure my OG PS4 is dying. Shuts off randomly and the fan keeps doing weird stuff. Everything I google seems to point towards things that are Not Great. What a weird position to be in. Do I grab a new slim? Finally upgrade to a pro? Suck it up and wait for a PS5? Hmm.

Big rumor money is on next gen happening in October if you can wait that long. I'm in a similar situation with weird system scares but less severe and at this point if my PS4 goes then I'm just gonna wait until PS5.

If I hadn’t just spent 600+150 on new recording gear and headphones I would just order a pro honestly. My timing sucks! I was thinking about going the repair route but Sony seems to have shut that down for now. No clue what kind of price that would run anyway.

During the time I was working at GameStop 2K gave us a free copy of any major 2K release including Borderlands 2. But at the GameStop manager conference Randy PItchford wasted a lot of time on the stage telling people they had to cheer more and more loudly for him otherwise no one would get their free copy of Borderlands 2 until he was satisfied with how loudly he was being cheered for. He came off as a smarmy used car salesman kind of person the entire time in general so when I heard the news about his money stuff with DN Forever and Colonial Marines I wasn't very surprised. The squirt porn thing was made extra, well, extra, from when later Twitter conversations revealed that he's one of those people that thinks women do not actually orgasm and are only ever faking it 100% of the time which says basically everything you need to know about him.

There was an official Sony job listing that mentioned October as the PS5 release date but Sony has flat out denied it. They did say it's definitely holiday 2020, but I think because of the pandemic there's a chance it could slip into early next year. Besides the major interruption to manufacturing, working from home has already caused quite a few delays and interruptions - Diablo 3 PTR recently got delayed, Monster Hunter World just got a small content patch delayed (and it will lack some voice acting in a couple of languages), and a couple of live service games are having a horrendous time lately. FFXIV got a ton of maintenance, Destiny 2's current season is basically one big pile of buggy failure after failure even compared to how it usually is, all because everybody is working from home and the workflow isn't the same as it was.

If the OG PS4 is dying Gamespot is selling refurbished PS4 Pros for $280 https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/playstation-4/consoles/products/playstation-4-pro-black-1tb/10134659.html Doesn’t seem like a bad deal for a stop-gap system until the PS5 comes out. Even then I usually wait a year or two after a new console comes out to get the inevitable revision updates and also wait for the game catalogue to build up.

I can relate, the one time I have broken a piece of game related hardware was throwing a controller across the room at Bloodborne, theres no real way to justify that kind of behaviour but it was being 1 hit away from Rom the Vacuous spider after dozens of attempts slowly clearing out the spiders and I just flipped I still feel like an idiot because it wasn't even as impressive a break as that Sekiro tweet, the R2 button just got stuck and wouldn't spring down but 0/10 would not throw controller in a fit of babyrage again

So I finished the first act and that intermission bit in the gallery of Kentucky Route Zero and I just don't know what the gently caress is going on. I don't mean I'm confused about the mystery, like who this woman with the TV is or what was going on in the mine or if the D&D players were ghosts or something, I just have no loving clue what this game is trying to say or do, what the hell was that gallery scene all about? What the hell is going on? Do I need to take a course on this game after it's done so I can understand it? Someone just level with me here, is this going to be one of those things where if I keep playing it'll all start to make sense or should I just get used to the whole thing having me at this level of bafflement until it finally ends and I can do something else? Is this going to be like that time I decided to read 'House of Leaves'? Because I just can't do that again Why didn't I listen to Imhotep and play Last Guardian first?

Now take it home for my favourite and therefore the canon ending.

Hey goons! I come to you with a really obnoxious tech support issue that’s driving me bonkers. I’m hoping maybe one of y’all brilliant dudes can figure this out for me cause I’m on the verge of pulling out my hair. The upload speed on my PS4 is borked. i’ve got gigabit down, 20 up, and the PS4’s connection test is showing anything from 150-400 down, (which is fine I don’t expect it to rate perfectly because I know Sony’s servers are often garbage), but the upload is always 5Mbps or under on tests. This matters because I Share Play a lot with other people, and they can’t stay connected to me. This is a new problem. It’s been going on for a few days. I find it weird that specifically upload and specifically upload on the PS4 are where the problems are. Things I’ve done already: 1. Forwarded the recommended ports in the gateway. (Yes I’m using crappy rental equipment, and I’m thinking about this is a next step but I don’t want to drop the money right now.) 2. Rebooted the gateway multiple times. 3. Changed the DNS servers the PS4 is using to Googles (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), yes I know this is likely snake oil but I’m getting desperate. 4. Tried other ethernet cables with the PS4 on the off chance that this is a wiring issue. 5. Tried PS4 on Wifi just to see if there’s any difference in speeds. There is not, and the PS4 is sitting right next to the gateway anyhow. 6. Called my ISP. I got some guy that was actually helpful and said he did notice some upload interference, and that there were enough alerts to hit a threshold and that they were looking into it on their end, but nothing changed since that call and I’ve talked to a couple people since then, all they want to do is reset my gateway. Ugh. I did set an appointment with a tech, thinking that maybe there’s a possibility that their boxes serving my apartment complex could be the culprit. They did do some equipment upgrades right after I signed up about two months ago. But I doubt it, since this issue has only been going on since Thursday. 7. Asked ISP about throttling, which went nowhere. 8. Check NAT type, it’s 2. 9. People suggest putting the PS4 in the DMZ but like hell I’m going to do that. Is there anything I’m missing? This is a long weekend and I was looking forward to playing with folks, but at this point I pretty much exclusively host Share Play, and I can’t do that. Provider is RCN in Chicago, FWIW. And all other devices rate fine for connection. I should be clear that normal multiplayer stuff to my knowledge is okay. I can also connect to multiple other people via Share Play just fine, but I’ve tried hosting with those same multiple people and I get the same problem. Video goes grainy, then drops, after about 5-10 mins. I think the upload is okay at first and then drops off. If anyone has any other suggestions I’d be very grateful.

I think I've spent more time in the first big area of Metro Exodus than I did in the whole of Last Last. Granted about an hour of that was trying to get into a place that was story gated because I rescued some dudes from bandits who gave me a key.

The interludes are usually setting up something in the next chapter: in the case of that one, the artist is a character in chapter 2, and the bit with the tapes ties in to stuff further down the line.

The Neal! posted:So I finished the first act and that intermission bit in the gallery of Kentucky Route Zero and I just don't know what the gently caress is going on. KRZ is an art gallery of a game, and that part just makes it literal. It is a guided tour of an art installation on poverty, regret, capitalism, and countless other things. Some parts will feel like they make sense, others will not and you’ll be confused about what is trying to be conveyed. It is not a game to play for the plot or the characters, though the game does go into them in part as it moves forward. For the most part though the characters you control are there to provide some context but not explain. It is a game to wander around, stare at for a bit, think about, and hopefully make your brain click about something. If it never does that’s okay. All art cannot speak to everyone. There were only ever a few specific parts I could say I “understood.” There are some incredible aesthetically and musically designed parts later on I would say are worth seeing even devoid of any more subtle artistic impact they may have. It’s hard to say anything specific about why it’s worth playing. Not because of spoilers but because so much is literally left up to each player to find and decide what was worth it. It could turn out to not be ever worth it for you and the only way you’ll ever know is to keep going.

Now imagine you paid €70, and there was still another DLC for €15, and the game could softlock your progress, and you can see why the reviews were rough. Let me know when you finish it and see how you feel: I had to practically force myself to finish the side quests late game because it mostly involved walking across the entire goddamn map full of nothing for nothing rewards.
