PS Store is back up and running now. Enjoy your gaming.

Ah, I was about to say, I just tried a digital game and a disc game and they were both fine.

 

I saw on reddit that it looked like most of the people having issues didn't have their consoles set as primary for whatever reason.

didn't realize there was an issue. Been playing splitscreen Tiny Tiny's Wonderlands for a few hours. Having a lot of fun with it.

Mine is not my primary, my brother has it as his but he's selling his PS5 so I tried to set mine back to primary and it won't allow me, kept saying PSN is having issues. That was a couple hours ago so idk now

Edit-Working now, just in time for the wife and kid to want to watch movies 👍 Thanks PSN

I dunno man I've kind of had it with this 'all digital' future.   After nearly two hours of spelunking the new exotic quest on legendary difficulty on Destiny 2 I get an error that says its going to log me out of the app in 5 minutes bc of "unverifiable license errors".  5 min later the game boots me.  I lose all progress, right at the final boss.  Before that the leader got kicked, and 10 new people weren't able to accept invites and were left wondering why.  Then I can't restart D2 again bc PSN is having errors.  It has locked me out of all online or digital content.  Says to go into offline mode and I can play some stuff but then you get the same error messages saying the game and the network can't verify your content.  So offline mode doesn't even work!  Can't load my character in Tiny Tina's either.  All because the servers are malfunctioning on Christmas.
 
I don't care that everyone thinks all my stuff needs to be online-only.  You have certain windows where you can play games for a couple of hours and you want to play when you're able to play.  I'm not here to beta test your compatibility and functionality.  I'm also not here to be at the mercy of your permissions at any moment.  I don't like this digital-only, GAAS future.  They own everything and we can't control our own shit.  System is just bricked today.  
 
It often times feels like there's no point in paying for anything anymore.  On PS, Steam, or Xbox.  Because we don't own any of our own purchases.   Access can be revoked during any moment. 
 
I just don't want to spend money on this stuff anymore.  While every game is also designed to nickle and dime you. 
 
The service sucks.  and the PS5 era has been a giant step backwards in both user friendliness and basic OS functionality. There are too many inconveniences and poor design choices.

That mission is so good though

PSN was down? Wouldn’t know. I was in the ER all day with the worst case of food poisoning I have ever had.

I don’t know what you guys are talking about, I’ve been digitizing my PSP, PS1, DS, and 3DS collection lately, and have loaded them all onto micro SD cards. Combined with emulators for the 2600, NES, SMS, Genesis, PC Engine, SNES, Game Boy, and GBA, I’ve got a massive library of amazing games that fits in my pockets, which is extra nice since I’m going to be traveling a lot next year. The digital future seems great to me.

The simple reality is that physical gaming has a lot of problems and inconveniences too. There is no perfect solution, I can admit that digital gaming has problems. Personally I'll never trade the convenience of being able to buy a game at 11pm on a Sunday because once a year I may not be able to verify my licenses + I'll get kicked out.

 

The Destiny 2 example strikes me as a poor case to argue, because even if that game was mostly available offline and digital just about everything that you can do in it that's meaningful will always be forced online to prevent save edit cheating, etc.

 

I don't care if companies actually own everything and control some things, because in reality they can't control enough that it will ever matter. Emulation isn't going anywhere--I can still play my entire childhood on a whim at any time I want on my PC. I don't think that's gonna be any different in 30 years for today's 12 year olds.

I have a Retroid Pocket 2+ that I picked up for $100 and plays N64/PSX and before no problem with pirated games, just sad my $500 PS5, with 100% legit purchases, can't be used

Beautiful system for re-living Dreamcast games.  GameCube games, not so much.

damn man, rather had that then a shatter wrist and had to play certain games with one hand for awhile. Never really had chick-fil-a or food poisoning thankfully gotta check that food before eating. Also thought you can deal with food poisoning at home.

[entexman]

With respect to the DRM issues some experienced yesterday. I totally sympathize with you guys. I have had similar issues on XBox in the past. It really sucks when you actually have time to play a game you purchased to be denied access because of service issues.  I was too busy yesterday to have any video game time.  By the time I could play video games I was too tired and went to bed. Sucks getting old.

Side note, anyone play that updated version of XIII? Worth the $15 for the PS5 version?

Depends on the severity and country, but yea, usually, unless you're so dehydrated you need an IV.

Exactly this. Overly dehydrated. It was so bad I almost blacked out.

Good to know, I'll stalk up on gatorade if I ever get food poisoning.

Raising Canes doesn't have breakfast burritos though!

I'm not sure how useful Gatorade is for that.

[SackAttack]

I'm not sure how useful Gatorade is for that.

Gatorade replaces lost electrolytes, which just water doesn't. So there's that. But it's mostly helpful if you're consuming it in a situation where you're at risk of dehydrating. Not as much once you're already dehydrated.

[elessar123]

I'm not sure how useful Gatorade is for that.

It actually helps. While I've never had bad food poisoning, I have issues where Gatorade help. You can also get pedialyte, which is healthier, but less palatable. So it depends on what you can stomach when you need it. They get absorbed much faster, so they're better if you're throwing up a lot. I also use it for the vaccines because I get dehydrated from those too.

Yea yea, it's off-topic. I've been drinking. It's a day off.

[toska]

gatorade got me through food poisoning and alcohol poisoning

[rpgaymer]

If you have severe food poisoning you will likely not be able to keep something like Gatorade in your gut without puking, hence the need for an IV drip in extreme cases.

Although I swear by those electrolyte packets you can mix into water to keep hangovers at bay. One glass before bed after a night of boozing, and one in the morning when you wake up. Haven’t had even a mild hangover in over a decade. And yes I do tend to drink pretty heavily lol, but just on the weekend because I like to go out and see live music or catch the local minor league sports teams when they’re playing.

Also useful after donating blood or plasma, as your body loses a good bit of electrolytes doing that.

Bad food poisoning, I swear I heard something about pumping it out. Maybe give you something to sit you on that toilet or puke it out. I know you can die from food poisoning but hell if you can manage it yourself and keep hydrated rather not waste $ or time at a ER.

I am assuming this isn't possible but has anyone tried redeeming a mature content dlc code on a child account?

My daughter can't buy the RE Village DLC since it's rated mature but I am wondering if I can buy a physical copy of RE Village Gold and redeem the dlc code on her account.

This is now the Alcoholics Anonymous thread.

Gatorade works for some people, but the only choice for me when I need electrolytes, is a can of Brawndo, the thirst mutilator.

The best thing about Brawndo is that you can use it on crops too.  Multipurpose stuff.

Even if you were able to redeem, I don't think she'd be able to play it.
