@Yousef- Hopefully soon, but if it is a DDoS that's not quite as bad for us PSN members as "usually" data isn't stolen during DDoS attacks as it's usually just a means to disrupt services, that said NEVER say never when it comes to unsavoury hackers especially with what happened over a decade ago on PSN.
@WiiWareWave Yeah, I was trying to play and couldn’t connect. I was excited to have time at home with my PS5 for the first time in several days and this is what happened. 😓
Apparently the issue is resolved now, according to the front page article.
I was trying to play a game from a disc, Dark Souls 2, but when it’s booted up it does some kind of online handshake with servers to load the trophy list and so it would just hang on that screen and freeze. I probably could have tried to disconnect from the internet and try again but I was worried that it would mess up trophy progress or something. Plus, I like playing Dark Souls online to see all the little messages and ghost images people leave behind.

@Th3solution I had a similar-ish worry on Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection a while back. I say ish, as there wasn’t a PSN issue… just that the game would only load up if I was offline. The good news is though that any trophies earned offline will be updated on your profile the next time you log in and sync your trophies.
@colonelkilgore I’m sure I would have been fine. And I’m not deluded to believe I’m going to get the platinum for DS2, but I just don’t like the unknown of not knowing if something is going to end up screwed because of the PSN not doing its thing.

@JohnnyShoulder I hate how dependent I am on technology. The PSN goes down for like 5 hours and it feels like the end of days. 😅
Heaven forbid the WiFi goes down for more than 5 minutes. It’s the modern day equivalence of being put on The Rack in the 1500’s.

Ladies and gentlemen and everything in between, we’ve officially entered the last quarter pounder of 2024. The fourth BBQ of the year and the time I will do my best to actually plan out my gaming and non gaming marathons in order to ketchup with important games. I won’t share my spreadsheet, yet, but i am finally close to devising the mustard plan that’ll help clear over a good chunk of cheese of my playthroughs. Gonna be definitely planning it over over several tea sessions. I’m steaking all my thinking power on this.
Like it says in the book, we are blessed… and we are cursed.
What ******* book?
I may stop playing Souls/Soulslike games after I complete Elden Ring. Five of those games under my belt is probably enough. Then I can play stuff like RE or SH2 Remake, Death Stranding etc. The only vaguely related Soulslike games I am keen to possibly go back to at some point are the Jedi games, (Survivor and the third one when it's released) as I am a fan of that franchise.
