It’s also possible to play PS5 whilst being to ill to work. In civilised countries, you can (and should) take a couple of days off for minor illnesses - don’t spread that shit at work
I think it’s at least somewhat common in non-US countries. At least from what I’ve seen.
That’s why they specified “civilised” countries, and not the US
It’s a favourite dig nowadays :)
Haha. Good point. Glad I’m not there, or from there.
Yes, I’m on my second week of sick leave in Germany, struggling to get rid of some virus & laryngitis that I got on a work trip, so now I have to rest and not speak at all.
Currently playing TLOU on my PS Portal. It feels “wrong”, but then I realize I’d rather be healthy and back to work (and also do more productive personal things that I can’t now, like go to the gym).
I forgot Sony made that. Why not get a Steam Deck, or one of the alternatives? The portal doesn’t have any storage, and if you have stick drift you have to buy another.
I would assume it’s because they would like to play PlayStation games, not PC games.
But isn’t just cloud gaming? Which needs a solid connection… Unlike every other handheld system, that has the games on storage, or cartridge? I don’t understand cloud gaming.
If you’re living in a home with modern wi-fi and fiber Internet, the latency isn’t much worse than a typical 4K TV outside of its built-in game mode. For many, many titles on console, this type of input lag is acceptable.
Admittedly I know the product isn’t very popular, but for those who enjoy PS games, it’s a pretty neat device.
Personally I just keep stuff on my PS5 and if I can’t be in my living room I guess I’ll wait to play :-)
It helps that I also own a Steam Deck
Ok, that makes sense. I just own only a PC which has everything I need, no tv. The only thing I would love to have is a steam deck.
Yep, and that works for some folks. For me, I prefer to keep my games and my PC separate where applicable (Obviously except specific titles that are simply better with a keyboard) and I like to enjoy my fancy surround sound system and big TV for gaming experiences on the console. Sure the graphics aren’t as good and there isn’t much in the way of modding, but that’s okay for the way I consume games. There’s also the appeal of just loving a certain console’s library
That beep is so distinct. I would recognize it more than the actual startup tune lol

There was an update a while ago that lets you turn it off if you want. I’ve almost forgotten it’s sound. Almost.
I never heard it before, was it annoying?
Startup tune? LOL I don’t even remember what that sounds like for the PS5, but boy do I remember the beep.
In the latest update, it added a setting to turn that beep off. It’s glorious.
But I like the beep
Then don’t turn off the beep?
I like the beep but turning it to the lowest volume setting soothed my soul

When my 2yo son wants to watch Lion King or some other physical movie he beeps like the ps5 at me.
If only my PTO wasn’t deducted every time I take a sick day.
Oof, where is that legal? Usa?
Yes, it is legal in the US.
Man the US doesn’t guarantee sick leave or PTO. It’s not great.
It’s every persons human right to chuck a sickie.
Why does that PS5 has an XBox controller?
Don’t kinkshame!
Either multiple consoles (although having a PS5 and Xbox SX seems a bit redundant) or they use an adapter.
I’m in a situation where I work only three days a week and get by just fine. As much as I love not having to work 5 days a week, I’m not really feeling “free”. Mostly because I still can’t find to do stuff.
