I noted that a couple of games installed updated overnight and suddenly my 60gb of free space on the internal drive was 20gb.
So I moved some of them over to the new drive, just in case.

I just had maybe 60-90 minutes on Death Stranding, found the PS5 disc version on sale. The game looks amazing! It’s also the worst game I’ve ever played. Just left it because Kojima thought it would be fun to make you watch hours of rubbish cut scenes then go hike with your mum’s exploding corpse making you tip left and right. Constant corpse balancing is the gameplay. Going to trade it straight back in tomorrow.

10gb Internet? My god.Ithought I was in heaven with my 1gbps Internet pipe. I now have Internet envy and want to move to Switzerland. Thankfully I speak German already. I'll just have to get used to the Swiss accent.

Constant corpse balancing is the gameplay. Going to trade it straight back in tomorrow. Just hold down both triggers while you walk, and no more balance problems! It's staggering that the game doesn't make this clear. Give it another try this way, it completely solves the problem and the game is great.

I'll just have to get used to the Swiss accent. Of course I have zero hardware that can handle over 1gigabit/s, the modem has one 2.5Gb/s port so that'll be the max download speed I'll be able to get (when I upgrade hardware). It's 10Gbit/s effectively shared over various wired connections and wireless. Come on over, the accent (really another language) is fairly brutal but you'll get there!

I just searched for “does death stranding” and “get better” was the first suggestion. Might give it a second chance tomorrow night.
The menu / map interfaces in the game are near-incomprehensible though, so I’m not optimistic.

I am currently playing through Death Stranding PS5 too and enjoying it, as you get better equipment and experience levels it becomes easier to manage the basics so the whole game is not like the first long trek. I was polishing off roads but think it may be time to continue with the story (chapter 9ish?).

It definitely opens up massively once you get to the 2nd map. It has a long onboarding process. Fwiw, I thought I would bounce off it but ended up loving it too.

So apparently Ragnarok's release date was due to be announced today, but that won't happen now, for... reasons.
Between the entitled, aggressive, and belligerent "I WANT MY GAME NOW!" types on the one hand, and the blasé, too-cool-for-school, "It'll be out when it's out, maaan" lot on the other, comments sections and subreddits have been particularly insufferable today!
Obviously the former are objectively worse, as they're the ones who'll issue death threats to devs at the drop of a hat, but the latter are still pretty douchey. "I don't care - there are loads of other games I want to play!" doesn't apply to everyone, you asshats! There's sweet f.a. out there that appeals to me right now in terms of new stuff, f'rinstance.

In other words, they believe that by sending unsolicited dick pics, the receiver will be so overwhelmed with joy/amazement/excitement/horniness [delete as appropriate] that will return the " favour" by revealing the release date?!? Solid logic, thick as a brick!!!

It's either that, or some sort of threat - "Tell me the release date and I'll stop; keep quiet and it'll be Dick Pic City, population you!"
I'm not sure which explanation is the more objectionable, to be honest.

Poor alanah pearce haha. I dread to think some of the crap she gets sent. She's mentioned in explicit detail what she gets, dick pics, offers of marriage, people asking her to be their gf, people stalking her accounts, people automatically thinking any guy with her in a picture or video is her bf, requests for pictures of her feet, accusations that she's slept her way to her position. It's endless and sounds absolutely fucking exhausting because she's a woman, especially a woman who is involved with games, it's a strange combination of sexual harassment and extreme misogyny.

Yikes! I've seen her call a few posts out but not go into that much detail. Fair play to her for putting up with it all. I know she was getting alot of abuse for the god of war stuff

The best ones are the 'nice guys ' who call her a fucking slut after she either doesn't reply to them or if she blocks them or if she does reply to them to say she's not interested. But then to be fair that's just nice guys as a whole. I don't know why but it feels like this kind of behaviour has been increasing in activity of late.

I don't think I'll ever understand the amount of sheer, undiluted vitriol that poor woman receives.
I'm sure most of it is just common or garden variety misogyny, depressingly common in this industry, but she appears to be a veritable lightning rod for it - even when compared to her peers - and it blows my tiny little mind.
Hell, she was probably Santa Monica Studio's newest employee when Ragnarok was "delayed" into this year, and the incel brigade still tried to blame her for the news! As if she swaggered into Cory Barlog's office on her first day at the company and persuaded him to postpone the game, just to mess with people.
She seems like such a sweet person, too (at least, from what little I've seen of her).
I'm SO glad we've got Font Geek, and I don't have to hang out wherever these hateful dickrags congregate online - I think I'd give up on gaming altogether in five seconds flat, otherwise.

It's been around. That GamerGate shit was pre-Trump, IIRC.
I think that's largely why when I find a gaming community I get along with it I stick with it. The gaming community as a whole is garbage.

I believe she gets it more because she's a physically attractive person who ALSO is into games but that's impossible so she must be faking it somehow. Apparently.
