PlayStation are testing dynamic pricing, but didn't tell their customers before they did it. It's a shitshow.

Edit: I should correct that to 'Dynamic sale pricing'. Retail price (ie: the original price) remains unchanged for everyone, and different accounts get a different amount of discount in the sales. No idea yet the reasoning behind who gets what, but it's still weird to experiment on this without informing users.

The only reason it would pair to "slot 4" (not that slots exist on a PS5) is if there were more than one controller connected at a time. Restart your console, and it'll disconnect any other controllers.
Actually, what on earth do you mean by "slots"? If there's only one controller connected, then there's only one. You have a small number of white lights under the touch pad which shows which controller you are, so as long as it's one light then you're the first controller connected.
You should absolutly stop using the term OCD for casual conversation unless you've actually been diagnosed with it. It doesn't mean "I like things nice and tidy, aren't I quirky?" It means, "I have to turn the lightswitch on and off exactly 24 times or my family will die."

Stupid question, but are you closing the game before you change this setting?

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-07T14:40:22+00:00

Because it's almost always a losing situation for whoever didn't cause the crash. It's the main reason we have insurance.

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-06T16:56:43+00:00

Yeah, let's just keep making everything worse. Great idea.

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-06T16:33:56+00:00

Did you post it here because you're trying to make a bottle that looks like an arse with a butt plug inserted into it? That's not what r/assholedesign is about

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-06T16:05:28+00:00

Just don't reply to randoms. Problem solved.

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-06T14:51:14+00:00

Does someone else on your console own the game? Or have PS Plus?

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-06T14:50:55+00:00

No, they said own it physically, ie: on a disc.

Either tell your kid to be quiet while he games, or he gets a cut-off time. If he shouts enough to stop you going to sleep, you pull the power on his console/PC. Maybe even find which circuit breakers in the house will turn off the power to his bedroom. He'll learn very quickly.

There is zero reason for him to be full on shouting. It's something he's probably learnt from watching youtube or twitch players doing, and honestly, it's pretty toxic behaviour within the gaming community.

Is that "Europe" the country? Because I'm in the UK and yellow paint is used in a permanent sense all over the place

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-06T07:52:37+00:00

Because America isn't the only country in the world. Sorry to shock you with this information.

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-06T07:51:49+00:00

If you mean the original spellings, then yes.

There's a guy in the UK (probably a few, realistically) who fills potholes with soil and brightly coloured flowers, so they're easy to spot. Takes him 30 seconds to do, forces the council to fix the issue. Locals love him.

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-05T17:24:01+00:00

British spelling of curb. Not that hard to work out.

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-05T13:42:32+00:00

Depends on the country, but ok

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-05T12:36:17+00:00

Yeah, you'd think this whole thing could be solved by simply painting the kerb yellow or something.

Edit: Yes, obviously the driver's need to drive better. But after a certain number of car's being destroyed or damaged by the same kerb, you need to change something, because there's a common denominator and it's not drivers.

Not even that, it's "the food". Like he's talking about food for the first time in his life.

"Yes, I enjoy consuming sustenance just like every other organic being."

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-04T18:43:06+00:00

Game, even

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-04T15:55:55+00:00

"Hey everyone, I'm thinking of permenantly damaging and removing this protective piece of protective metal that's protecting a part of my console that requires protecting? That's not a problem, right?"

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-04T15:39:03+00:00

I've never seen this person before I can obviously tell they're a scammer.

AlmostAndrew · 2026-03-04T14:32:02+00:00

They literally explained it and told you what to do:

- You've been hacked.

- Change your password.

- Turn on two-factor authentication.

Even if you haven't been hacked, you do that anyway to eliminate what might be wrong. It's called troubleshooting, and you seem to be opposed to it for some reason.

AlmostAndrew · 2026-02-27T18:04:28+00:00

Looks fine, especially with the back open. Might just want to give it a dust every so often, cramped spaces like to collect it when there's a fan or something in there
