I’ll happily throw my hat in the ring. Thanks for all the amazing work you do, for your transparency, and the dedication you put forward. :)

Haven’t seen these in more than a decade here in Germany

v4ld1z, 6 days ago

What do you call them? Trying to find any information on them. And it’s weird to keep referring to these gum-mints as “these” and “them” :D

v4ld1z, 6 days ago

Whatever floats your boat or something lol

v4ld1z, 6 days ago

Whatever happened to these anyway? I remember those leaving my life as quickly as they had entered it when I was little

Another prison system, another prison system, another prison system for you and me

Well, obviously piracy if you’re into that. Apart from that, using cheats for games, dumping your physical games and having a permanent copy you can use without the CD and an active license (probably possible with a digital game too I assume? not sure), applying patches like a 60fps patch for Bloodborne, emulation of PS1, PS2, PSP and a bunch of other consoles etc etc.

Running Linux if you’re that kind of person :P

The HDD is replacable and afaik, you can insert an SSD too. Not sure about the sizes, but an internet search should point you the right direction.

Not familiar with NAS. Isn’t that some kind of server?

Actually not anymore. There’s been a recent breakthrough that led to a new exploit up to 11.00 being possible now. 11.00 is from, like, late 2022 I think? Obviously not an option if your PS4 has been in regular use recently, but I lucked out and got an 11.00 console from a friend of mine who hadn’t been using the PS4 for a while.

If you’re on a newer firmware, there is no way of reverting back to 11.00, unfortunately, unless you’re up for some soldering.

Sadly, only around 40ish fps on a base model but very cool nonetheless. The framerate and semi-smoothness kinda puts it in an uncanny valley territory for me since it looks smoother but also not smoother at the same time coming from PS5 performance. Lies of P runs a lot better in comparison even though it’s graphically more demanding, I assume

If any of you guys have a PS4 lying around gathering dust, consider jailbreaking it. Depending on the firmware, it is pretty easy to do and opens up a lot of possibilities. Surely better than being neglected :)

Edit: Firmwares up to 11.00 are jailbreakable as of recently. 11.00 is from around late 2022, so if you have a console that hasn’t been in use since then, there’s a good chance you can jailbreak it. Base model, Slim, or Pro - doesn’t matter

Everything’s 50-50 if you think about it

v4ld1z, 9 days ago

True. But it’ll probably take you a couple of reruns to notice that.

v4ld1z, 9 days ago

Fr, my guy. I was so lost playing for the first time. When it clicked though, I was hooked. Very frustrated at times but also hooked

v4ld1z, 9 days ago

It was a little faster for me overall, but I had to take a four-year break from the game until I tried again. Killed Father Gascoigne and the Cleric Beast, then didn’t have the stomach to continue the game because I was too spooked out to play lol. Finished the game plus DLC in around a year

I don’t really mind spiders, so I was good. Moreover, I was really fascinated with her (lore) as I was listening to the Paleblood Hunt in tandem when I wasn’t playing the game. The fight itself was just really annoying and difficult for me at first.

The rest of the game also wasn’t as scary to me even though it very well could have been. The only actually “scary” part after that was right after you enter the real Workshop in this cathedral or church where there’s absolutely no light whatsoever and a bunch of wolves lurking around. I got goosebumps a couple of times, but the scary factor wears off once you get killed there a couple times lol

Was there anything you found scary in the game?

v4ld1z, 9 days ago

Oof on the hundred deaths. I could very well see myself have that happen to me

I found it quite awesome, but I think I didn’t really get it the first time around. Only after exposing myself to more of the lore (Paleblood Hunt or YouTube) was that I grasped what was happening

v4ld1z, 9 days ago

Yahargul was an experience indeed. I think I got there naturally whilst exploring though. I for sure hadn’t encountered the church woman you meet down there until after I wanted to get the platinum
