Maybe “[this]”

@Ryall Put [ spoiler ] at the beginning of the text you want covered and [ /spoiler ] at the end but without the spaces.

This is a test

@Ryall You did it right!

I didn't. But I just did! It's pretty cool to see how the company works behind the scenes.

@Ryall Quote Octane's post above to learn the secret skill of spoiler tags.

@Octane Yeah it's interesting that it all started from pirated software.

@Frigate Had the old one for well over a year, so thought it was overdue for a change. Probably change it more often from now on! Its always weird when someone changes it after having the same one for so long. I reckon it's @kyleforrester87 turn next!

@Frigate Kind of but with less hair!

@Frigate well done 😁 how’d you feel? Lol

I’ve done 750 miles this year so I’m on my way to my target, my knee has been giving me trouble for the past month though so I’m actually going to lay off it for a week or two. Hopefully that sorts it out..

@Frigate aha. It gets a bit easier.

@get2sammyb are you running the state of play address tonight mate?

@Octane lol wot?

@kyleforrester87 That's what I thought as well. But it's pretty cool, I guess? I'll have to see how it turns out. I hope they keep it all silent and dreary like the game is.

@Octane haha yeah it’s a weird one though. But sure, looking forward to it!

@Octane @kyleforrester87 I think if they get the liberty to do something stylistic, a little like Castlevania, the world and atmosphere could be interesting.

I was secretly hoping Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid would have actually been worth the asking price, sadly - from what I've read and seen so far, it really isn't.

The fighting is pretty simplistic, but it's a decent enough looking attempt at a 3 on 3 brawler. It's very basic looking, they've gone for the 'ripped' look for the rangers and there's barely any differentiating modes.

But worse than anything else, it launches with 9 characters. The season pass(!) only promises 3 more to boot. Out of what must be 100 or so (probably more) possible Power Rangers?

Bloody shame, there's so much they could've put in.

Sammy Barker got a shout out on Sacred Symbols (Colin Moriarty's PlayStation Podcast) this week .

@Fight_Sora_Fight I haven’t got around to this weeks yet. I’m a week or two behind and got distracted by a couple other podcasts, including catching up on some of his Knockback episodes and a few Fireside chats. I pick and choose which of those I listen to (for example I’m listening to the episode of he and his brother breaking down the movie “Solo” now), but I do all the Sacred Symbols in order since they are timely with discussion of the latest news. He quotes Push Square nearly every episode, but I haven’t heard him reference Sammy by name before, other than to say, “They’ve got some good people over there at Push Square.” Or something to that effect one time when he was discussing and referencing an article. I’ll be curious to hear it.

I've been getting increasingly jaded by this community in recent months. It's just been getting more and more negative with each passing week. Ever since E3 week with the perceived poor Sony conference and the crossplay issue blowing up it just seems more and more people are coming just to throw shade and negativity around. And sadly Push Square have done next to nothing to stop that. In fact I think they've been slightly encouraging it. When articles about Crossplay, censorship or PS Plus come up they must know that along with the increased traffic comes slanging matches in the comments. It wasn't so bad a few years ago when it was just a couple of idiots but now whenever an article comes up that shows PlayStation in any sort of negative light they arrive in their droves and I'm fed up with it.
The State of Play reaction was just an absolute joke. It was a great showing of VR content but because a fair few don't have a headset and are incapable of seeing things from VR usesr point of view so have to ruin it for others.
And then today with the Driveclub article, well Sammy will claim he's been constructive but sorry he isn't. He's feeding into the negativity and fake outrage culture that games media has far too much off as it is. It's hardly any better then those "Borderlands 3 trailer was disappointing" articles from Gamespot and Polygon. Push Square and the community should be better then that but if the staff don't get a handle on it then it'll get worse and their going to lose long term readers.
