@Octane Yeah, I can’t tell if you’re happy about the €100 or not. Personally, if I lost my wallet and then found $100, that would be an improvement over what I lost! 😅

@kyleforrester87 They're remastering it. I can feel it in the air.

@Th3solution I wouldn't. In the wrong hands someone could cause a lot of damage just by having your bank card, it's not just about the money element. And then if you have a driver's licence too, that could be a world of pain there.

I don’t carry a wallet, I tried as s teenager coz I thought it was cool but quickly gave up. I hardly ever have cash on me, driving license stays home, carry my bank card loose (suit jackets have nifty card pockets) and usually use Apple Pay these days anyway.

Wallets SUCK.

@JohnnyShoulder @Kidfried Yeah, I was being a little facetious. It can be a real headache having to deal with the identification replacement and canceling your cards and getting replacements. Although in my experience, credit card companies are quick to cancel your card with a phone call and ship you new ones free of charge. The hassle is annoying though. But replacing an ID or drivers license is way more rough. And then you worry about someone using it for nefarious means. Yeah, I definitely feel for @Octane I don’t envy him in the least. Sorry if I came off flippant about it — it’s a stressful event, no doubt.
And although my wallet currently has way less than $100 in it, some people carry loads of cash with them and that would just make losing it even worse.
Losing your wallet is probably worse than losing your phone even. At least your phone can have a backup.

@kyleforrester87 @Th3solution No, I've lost my wallet; and everything in it. Also my gym card, uni access card, everything. Only have €100 of loose cash right now.

I was absolutely hammered last night. We started at 2pm yesterday, and it was 6 in the morning today before I finally got some sleep.

I've seen places last night. Even got stuck in an empty train on a trainyard.

@Octane you’ve been playing too much Dreams mate.

@Octane Ah man, I’m really sorry. That’s horrible. Hang in there. In a world full of corruption, I’m often surprised at how honest people can be, so hopefully some good Samaritan will find it and get it back to you pronto. My friend recently lost hers with her bank cards and university ID and someone plopped it in the mail and it showed up in her mailbox a few days later.
Here’s hoping.

@kyleforrester87 To be fair, it was all so surreal, it might've a dream.

@Th3solution Yeah, I hope so too. There was nothing of value in it, and I already blocked my bank card, so there's nothing they can do with it; and every card has my name on it as well. The biggest problem is that today is a national holiday, so everything is closed, in the weekend as well, and Monday too. Can't really do anything until Tuesday.

Too many games to make, not enough time

There are so many sequels ''confirmed'' for PS5, with Spidey 2, GOW 2, Horizon 2, another Uncharted game probably. Makes me wonder if there's room for old franchises and new IPs as well. That's their only problem, every time they release a successful new game, people want sequels as well.

See?

I think right now Sony first party studios are doing a pretty fair job of balancing new IPs and sequels. I like having both and they have a nice combo of new IPs — Ghost, Death Stranding, Days Gone, Dreams, Spiderman, etc. along with sequels — Last of Us 2, Uncharted series, Gran Turismo, Infamous SS, Gravity Rush 2, etc. and also reboots and remakes — Shadow of the Colossus, Medievil, God of War, etc.

... Sequels, new IP's, reboots of old rp's... GIMME IT ALL SONY! 😋

But yeah I agree with @Th3solution, I feel there's a good mix of the three

... Though I feel they could do with a bit more variety of the actual genres of the games

Rebooting Medievil is a nice to add with Ratchet and Clank with the more kiddy friendly stuff (totally getting it) but I could really do with that possible demon's souls by bluepoint or better yet Legend of Dragoon being redone

... I don't mind if it's nowhere near as high budget as the others, just make it for a bit more variety Sony!

Though I do appreciate all the main Sony studios are putting out high quality products, even if they aren't all my cup of tea 👍

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy @Jriibz Yeah, the library has been a little heavy on the 3rd person action single player (SM, GoW, HZD, UC, TLoU, Days, GR, BB, Ghost, ....)
FPS and platformers is a weakness. But if you take VR into account, I guess those genres have some exclusive coverage there. (Astrobot, Moss, Farpoint, Firewall ...) But I don’t have a VR, nor do I play much FPS, racing, or platforming.
@Jriibz You should try the exclusive OnRush if you haven’t yet if you want a arcadey racer. It’s definitely not a classic ‘racer’, but it really does a few interesting things with the genre. I liked it pretty well.

@Th3solution Erm, Onrush isn't an exclusive? You can get it on Xbox and PC too.

Just had Springrolls with chilli sauce and a pork and black pudding stack main.

Then cake.

Fml I need to go on a diet ASAP. And get myself beat saber.

@themcnoisy Fish, a baked potato, and a bunch of spinach for me. Spring rolls sound good as well; I recently made fresh spring rolls; they're great!

@JohnnyShoulder Aw man! I’m a dunce 😂. Sorry about that. Why did I think it was a PS4 exclusive? I think I got confused because I thought it was developed by Evolution studios because they kept taking about it being the next iteration of the exclusive MotorStorm. But after looking it up, it apparently came about after Evo was merged with multiplatform developer Codemasters.
Wow, now I’m even more shocked that OnRush bombed so bad financially. Being multi platform, it’s even more concerning.
Thanks for the clarification. I’ve had a long week 😅.

Onrush doing so poorly in sales is a testament to how difficult it is for these type of games to break through commercially. It's sad, really.

Changed my name to Sparkle_Fingerz on PSN. So proud.
