So like in two weeks?

With Ubisoft games, that's a real possibility.

Right? I heard Jeff Gerstmann talking about it and comparing it to fucking Borderlands and was quite worried. It's perfectly fine, and I'm the one usually responding to other people saying something is perfectly fine with 8 paragraphs as to why it's not!

Glad to hear you're all enjoying it.  That quick look on Giant Bomb admittedly turned me off to the game a bit, despite being encouraged to play the game by the various reviews.  I'll definitely be picking this one up on a future sale.

Please don't eat in restaurants. 

I've tried to explain this to a few friends who have a false sense of security eating at restaurants.  It's troublesome how plenty of responsible mask wearers cannot wrap their heads around why eating indoors with other members of the public is such a terrible idea right now.

something I thought was really cool was when I set a bunch of games to download, and then put the ps5 to sleep, I was getting notifications on the ps app when the game was ready to play. I’m not sure the last gen consoles or the XSX will do that and maybe I’m missing a setting, but I love it. No more checking in to see how a download is going. 

Wow, had no clue the new PlayStation app did that.  This could prove handy for those larger downloads when you want to watch television until it's ready to go.

Have you had a chance to use the Penrose at all?

Penrose isn't released yet, but it's more than likely using the same drivers as the Mobius if you want to get an idea as to how it'll sound.

Did my PlayStation 3 have any part in this.

And by pro-censorship I am guessing you mean "no one is allowed to say anything mean about Trump even if it's true, but it's fine if Trump accuses Cruz's dad of assassinating JFK".

Yup, how dare Twitter flag his Tweets, how dare anybody question Trump.  The guy used to support net neutrality until he went down the conservative rabbit hole and decided that Trump is his god.  

My Republican friend, well mostly former friend at this point is probably going to freakout considering he's be pro censorship ever since Trump stepped foot in office.

Seems like it could be enjoyable enough at a discounted price. 

I feel like the media is so confused right now as for the past four years, presidential doctor visits have been shrouded in mystery, and here you have our next president whose being completely transparent as to why they sought the aid of a doctor.

No, he’s saying he wants PSN cards, not PS+ cards. PSN cards are the digital currency, PS+ is the subscription for online play

I miss Adam Sessler being a fixture in gaming culture. He has a way of articulating things that is very unique.

Same, Sesslers soapbox was such a progressive piece of media that always got people talking.  Sessler was also just about the best person the gaming industry could have had as a spokesperson to defend it on cable news networks.  He was a pivotal figure in defending the medium when everybody was attempting to use video games as a scapegoat for school shootings.  I'd love to see him return to gaming in some capacity.

Yeah, this is not the reunion I care about...unfortunately Leo Laporte is apparently an asshole though so not sure if the others would be willing to do a reunion that involved Leo.

Really?  That's disappointing to learn.  I never pictured him as being an ass.  The only individual from The Screensavers I still follow is Patrick Norton.  His AVexcel podcast is very solid.  Quite friendly on Twitter too.

Thanks... I was looking for gift cards though. I have more PS+ than I need right now lol

All the deals you'll find will be like that one.  I'm not aware of any that will mail you a card.  You'd just have to get creative and write the code down on something to hand to whomever as a present.

You blew it by asking Wade for Demon's Souls instead of Yakuza.

One of the Yakuza fan sites informed me on Twitter a while back it would be getting a physical release on the PS5.  I'm such a sucker for physical media, I figure it's worth the wait even if it means I have to endure the jet engine of the Blu ray drive on the PS5 while it installs.  Besides, the fact Sega stating the saves won't transfer over made me feel like waiting in general.  

Why did this game have to review so well.  I just don't enjoy turn based combat anymore, but it's Yakuza and it's tempting me.  I'll probably breakdown and buy it once it's released on the PS5.  

They really didn't fugging think this one through.  Might I suggest they try to use a word that isn't in Urban Dictionary if they're truly concerned about the theft of signs.

Also, pizza. It's like Godwin's law but with Mussolini instead of Hitler. The longer a thread goes on, the more likely pizza is to come up.

I will forever defend pineapples on pizza.  

AudioQuest Nighthawk with AudioQuest's microphone cable they built for it.  It's a chunky cable that's kinda a pain to have plugged into a controller, but my friends told me it sounds great and it has the magic ability to not pickup the heat/ac blower fan in my apartment that's next to where I sit.

This cycle is going to repeat every time a major product releases.  Companies keep acting oblivious to the existence of bots when they're well aware of the issue.  This year was just extra salty as camping was basically out of the option given the existence of Covid-19.

I can work with either.

I'd love a physical of Demon’s Souls for the PS5!  Thanks for doing this Wade, what a great way to end the rollercoaster of a year!

Alright - our first recipient this weekend is @vaxick

 

What will it be?

Woah, I never expected to win.  Thank you very much!  Do we choose digital or is physical an option too?

Secret Service members asked about protecting soon-to-be-former president Trump full time in Florida: Sources - ABC News

ABCNEWS.GO.COM

Agents in Trump's detail have been asked about relocating to West Palm Beach, Florida, after he exits the White House.

 

I have a feeling protecting Trump will be used as a punishment for secret service agents who misbehave.

I think I may need to call an exorcist because my PlayStation 5 may be possessed.  In all seriousness, it unfortunately appears my PS5 is a dud.  I cannot even play Astro's Playroom now as it just hardlocks my console.  My PS5 did have the coil whine others reported, but it also made a high pitched whistling sound in select games leading me to wonder if something more was going on with it and it looks like my hunch was right. 

Apparently Descenders for PlayStation 4 turns my PS5 into a the sound of a whistling steam kettle.
