Yeah its pretty massive. I had to clear out a space in my entertainment console to put it as it wont go under on beside my TV. I gave it the biggest cove so it wont overheat.. but so far it doesn't seem to get very hot. At first it kinda smelled like burnt plastic the first hour... only when you get really close to it... I guess not burnt plastic but more like when you turn your heater on for the first time. The UI is crips and has zero lag like the PS4 when you try to move around too fast on it. The power saver options are nice as well as the conviencnes of it asking if you want to download all the major streaming apps during set up. Funi is the only thing I use since my SmartTV doesnt have that app, but still nice.
The controller had to be updated as well, Ill use a different controller tomorrow to see if I need to do it to all 3. At first I thought it was just on the console side but it told me not to unplug it from the PS5.
The dualsense is very nice. Its got good heft and the dynamic rumble is impressive so far. I haven't had any experiance with haptic feedback yet though.
The HD space is a joke.... I tell you that right now. I automatically downloaded playroom, with that, some stream apps, my save data. Spider-Man and COD Cold War. My SSD is already half full.

Yeah. Getting one is straight up RNGesus. Like I have my card info saved on Walmart, Gamestop, Target, Best Buy, and Amazon. I've always got the same.... either sold out or I get it in the cart and get errors on the final check out step. My friend calls me... tells me its in his cart and if he should buy it... I'm raging because I feel like he wasted the opportunity. I'm like YES DO IT!.... dude MANUALLY types in his credit card info and get it... wtf? 

I already have COD so I gave him that as his finder fee. There isn't much out for PS5 because everything keeps getting pushed back for the sole fact that software sales are probably trash since PS5s are mostly in scalpers closets. This is the worst its ever been. We're almost at 6 months now... Half a year and people can't get their hands on either next gen console. I'm just glad to have one finally. I hate gamestop... and they're def taking advantage of the situation... I'm just glad I got a bundle worth getting. I haven't played Spider-Man yet.... I didn't want NBA 2K so I'm glad it wasn't that bundle. 

Season 2 was awful because it was like something taken out of context. Season 3 is amazing and often forget it's split into two since there was a long break in the middle of it. Part 2's sequence of eps is where the pacing takes off and it hasn't stopped yet.

Well I never saw all of season 2 yet. Sounds like it gets alot better. I need to get caught up on it.

I saw on snapchat! Congrats! 😄 that was one hell of a huge combo to buy tho.  gamestop was like by it all or nothing.

Oof, yea that initial infection is a bitch. My tooth literally collapsed on itself (when I was younger my mother insisted on sealants so the tooth literally decayed under the sealant until it couldn't handle anymore pressure and cracked).so when the infection hit I couldn't do anything that was hot or cold. If it wasn't room temp it was going to be intense pain. That is until I found to wonder that is Orajel, good god is that stuff amazing (for the initial 4 hours, once it wears off it's pain city all over again).
Yea, I had to go to a specialist since my dentist wouldn't do root canals. Weirded the hell out of me since I thought dentists were supposed to do them, not oral surgeons. Then again with how incompetent my dentist was it was probably for the best she didn't do it (I've since changed dentists since she decided to start her own practice and I moved to the other one who actually ran the practice she was working at. Much more competent).

I had no idea menards only hired PT. That's some bullshit. My last 3 jobs I got from temp agencies. Those 3 companies I worked for all had a policy of exclusively hiring full time temps only because they could get full time employees without having to pay benefits and they could fire them for no reason if they wanted and have no repercussions from it. The temp agency could work ppl full time for 3 months before benefits would kick in. So either the job they get you hires you directly after 3 months or they let you go and the temp agency then has no job available and because the hours would drop from 40 to zero they wouldn't have to pay benefits either. It's a shitty system to, but maybe some temp agencies around you have some jobs available?

See that's where we're at now. Menards fucked themselves royally at the beginning of the pandemic letting stores work their PT and FT help 50+ hours a week until my Assistant Store Manager emailed them and asked them if we were going to get reimbursed for going over payroll. Menards panicked and now we're on a strict no OT for PT at all (fuck I'm lucky if I get 30 hours a week with my boss fucking all us PT'ers over and giving OT to FT'ers and fucking our payroll to no end. That and refusing to promote me to FT even though I've fucking earned 10 times over (fuck this company and their policy of only hiring PT and making people "earn" FT)) and have been since August.
It's not actually legal to work part-timers past whatever your state designates as the cut off (32 hours in ND) because you're not offering them benefits for doing so (and it really sucks, I really need to see my doctor but without health insurance I can't. Plus I really need to see a chiropractor but can't afford it due to the lack of hours). They're literally working lower paid help like dogs just so they can make more money (something Menards takes full advantage of and yes I just referred to myself as a dog) without sharing the wealth (one of the reasons I thinks it's stupid most companies took away benefits from PT help, reward the backbone of your company who, in a lot of cases, can't find anything better). Really wish the job market up here wasn't shit right now but with the western half of ND relying heavily on the oil field for jobs this fucking sucks ass (and while I don't disagree with Biden's decision with the Dakota Access Pipeline it really made the job market so much worse up here).
Meh, the tax laws are wacky because they fucking change them every time a new President takes office. They need to set a standard tax rate based on tax bracket/yearly income and stick with that instead of giving all these stupid tax breaks to people who don't deserve it and continually tax the shit out of the less fortunate. While this might get me hate this is why a lot of socialist countries due better then America in so much shit, a standard set tax code works but considering this is the capital of capitalism we'll be stuck dealing with a new set of tax laws every 4-8 years.

I made 9 grand less then I did the year before and got $1000 less on my tax return, worst I've gotten since I was in college (where I was paying in). Fucking tax code is all sorts of fucked for that to hold true (and before you ask no my unemployment didn't fuck me over (2 checks worth isn't enough to screw it that much nor did the stimulus checks since I'm still in the same tax bracket as last year).

Cool. O_o i only watched LOTR original triology. never watched anything beyond that. but im planning to watch LOTR series coming out on amazon.
"i could see every strand of hair" rotfl my first moment i noticed that was when i first tried Roku channel with TCL TV. i only watched hells kitchen with that and it wasnt even HD. so i played a movie Forever Young and i thought something was wrong with TV screen because im like whats that on their face and arms? they look fuzzy wtf..as i looked closer im like holy shit i can see their face/arm hair
and when did they convert old tv shows to 4k too? im watching little house this morning in my amazon library and picture looks amazing! BUT then why arent my old SD and HD movies automatically convert to UDH like that? kinda greedy they want full retail price for the same movies i paid for. 

@DeathscytheX I had dust build up in my PS4 pretty bad a few years ago, I used a can of compressed air and a vacuum to blow and suck all the dust out. It really did seem to help the air flow.
@slippers My brother has a ps5, he seems to really like it, but I don't hear him raving about how amazing it is like when the ps4 came out compared to the ps3. I think its still too early and theres not enough games out yet that really take advantage of the hardware. I guess one good thing is that it can play these ps4 games. I remember when the ps4 came out the only game I really played on it for that first year was battlefield 4. With no backwards compatibility my ps4 sat for months without use and got dusty.

One of the best damn shows of it's season and definitely can't wait for the movie to come state side since I hear it's just as amazing (giving ufotable a movie budget is nuts, I can only imagine what they did with it). Really hoping we get a second season and seeing how well the movie did in Japan I have really high hopes it will. Another bonus is the manga is done so we won't have to wait if they do decide to adapt the whole thing (though I hear the ending isn't exactly great).

That looks good. BTW the camera in your phone is better than mine and I can take pics of the moon with it. Lol. Try zooming in at least 30x on the moon and tap on it. It'll auto focus amazingly well.

Its not ultimate protection, but its all I ever need. I don't drop phones... ever. I've only ever cracked one screen and it was my S10+ when I braced a heavy pallet on my leg where it was in my pocket. Its one of those just in case things.

Congrats!  thats a lot. I think jobs can be like a lottery sometimes..well life in general for that matter. i spent almost $100 on mega million hoping to win something last month but i know thatll never happen.

Well this shit got worse. Its a full on tooth/oral infection. My face feels jacked and its hard to eat anything. I'll be on antibiotics and I'll probably need a tooth pulled.

I hope this is true, but not cross gen. What is the point? Old consoles would still be limited to 64.. or 100 at best.
If done right this is what can be achieved.
8-10+ flag conquest... I think 5 is the most I've ever seen with Flag E.
With that many flags, and map size you'd have to double the vehicle count.
Lets face it. Caspian Border, at its current size could do 8 flags with more vehicles. It's a map that was too open and large for this gen.
Not just assault vehicles... more of those.. but a lot more jeeps and ATVs as well to traverse the map.
Fuck it. 128 player Operation Metro and Operation Locker. Copy COD and have 24/7 playlists. (Lock the Metro fam!)
Say what you want about that, but 27/4 Shipment on MW and Nuketown on BLOPs is just a blast when you don't want to be serious.
CQC maps are a must. Ziba Tower and Scrapmetal were a ton of fun. Just don't bring back that fucking Gunmaster assignment.
Believe it or not. BF3 had 29 maps by the end of its life. BF4 had 32. Obviously there were some locked behind gamemodes. But lets start with more than just 8 maps. Give us 15. Even if most of them are recycles. Plus you can dig into BF2's huge maps that haven't been seen by most players these days. The Iron Gator!

Starting Map Wishlist:
Strike at Karkand
Operation Metro
Operation Locker
Rogue Transmission
Siege of Shanghai
Gulf of Oman
Paracel Storm

Literally you could just not make new maps, You could expand old ones and I'd be happy.

 

Nah, you struggled in the Cold War beta because all the guns are absolute shit in base form. Gameplay wise is actually pretty good once you marathon Nuketown 24/7 with a few guns and get them proper attachments... like level 15-20 worth of attachments. 

I tried so hard to do mouse and keyboard and I just can't do it on mutli. We can all suck ass, so long as its modern, has RPGs, and we can go around trolling choppers again.

Grats on the promotion dude! Well earned with the hours I know you put in.
God the day I'm associated with the PC Master Race will indeed be the start of a new era I refuse to play FPS games on PC (I'm complete shit with a mouse and keyboard when it comes to shooters) so I'll definitely still be playing them on console so when BF6 hits the market I'm totally fucking down to get the gang back together and pwn some n00bs (who am I kidding, I'm probably so rusty I'll just hold us back if my performance in the Cold War beta is anything to judge by). Now to just get my hands on the coveted PS5 (well that and actually be able to afford one) before then and we'll be set.

Congrats! Thats some damn good money right there.
 
This other gif popped up and since you mentioned retiree.. lmao.

I'd love to play some battlefield again if the next game is good. The last multiplayer I played online was a couple weeks ago with my brothers. We played Fall Guys on PS4.  Not the same as a good FPS, but it was still enjoyable to chat while playing a game again with others.

He would def have to be one of your favorite characters for you to be into the show. It was nothing like I thought it was going to be. I was expecting it to be about more of his illegal antics outside of Walter and Jesse, but its more a prequel of how he became Saul Goodman. He still has a sense of morality and feels bad when he does shady stuff. Its more about a reject getting his way though the world than a crime drama.

Told you it was awesome. All that juicy drama and that reveal was just icing on top of the drama cake. Was really nice to see how Kyo's character is evolving and how Yuki is finally growing into his own. Really can't wait to see this all come together in the end (I know how the manga ends and have never read it so I really look forward to the anime's climax).
My only complaint was how little they dived into Rin's character but as far as I've read this adaptation is following the manga almost word for word with minor changes so we should hopefully get more Rin character development next season (just don't know if I can wait that long).

Dammit Sledge marathon this shit! Just finished season two... holy shit at that reveal at the end. I wasn't expecting that at all. Akito makes a little more sense to me now. Kureno needs to get his fucking act together and see what he has right in front of him. Ugh, I need season 3! I want to dive more into Rin's character!

My neighbor said he made ramps like that with his dozer around his property. He keeps jumping his atv on them. I hear that guy out there almost every afternoon. All the ramps are way back so I can't see them. Lol.  he hasn't invited me over to check out his ramps yet.
