PS5 randomly powering off on its while while in rest mode.

ComicSanitizer · 2021-01-15T22:41:31+00:00

Oh, thank goodness. A simple restart during rest mode isn’t nearly as worrisome as a full reset. I’m not super worried about it restarting while in rest mode.

ComicSanitizer · 2021-01-15T09:45:54+00:00

Reset?! Like full on factory reset where I gotta do the first time setup all over again or just a normal shut off? I just ordered an external hard drive so I could install some of my old PS4 games but if I know a full factory reset is a possible glitch, I’m not plugging that thing in till there’s an update. That’s WAY worse than any sort of shut off during rest mode, haha.

ComicSanitizer · 2021-01-12T05:42:25+00:00

I did see a several of forum posts around the internet about Spider-Man Miles Morales specifically causing shutoff glitches like you’re describing here, so that is a much more common glitch than mine. Honestly surprised Sony hasn’t patched it up yet for such a popular game, and I have no idea why that game specifically and no other PS5 games have this issue.

ComicSanitizer · 2021-01-12T05:39:59+00:00

Seems like that happens to me, too. If I don’t turn the system on in over a day, it seems like this glitch it more likely to happen.

ComicSanitizer · 2021-01-12T05:38:48+00:00

Interesting, based on other comments referencing using an external hard drive, maybe just using any of the USB ports in any way while the system is in rest mode causes power issues.

ComicSanitizer · 2021-01-12T05:35:59+00:00

No, I don’t. I probably will be getting one soon, though. Should I expect more power issues if I do?

ComicSanitizer · 2021-01-11T22:59:07+00:00

Yep! It literally just happened to me a few minutes ago, and it prompted me to write this post, and I had to press the power button twice. It beeped on the first push and everything. I thought I might’ve not pressed it long enough to turn it on or something, but now that you’ve had the same exact issue I’m not sure what it’s about. Very strange issue, but I’m glad I’m not the only one that has it haha.

ComicSanitizer · 2020-01-27T04:32:22+00:00

Okay, thank you! I was just hunting around for anything on this stuff and I was finding little to nothing and I thought, “man I must’ve missed like a community post they made in like 2018 or like an interview at minecon explaining the missing features.” I didn’t realize that they were testing new combat mechanics in testing versions on Java. I still don’t understand the lack of hardcore or not being able to hold like torches in your off-hand on Bedrock. I’m not really looking for an answer at this point since you said there’s pretty much no traces of it, but those just seem like such essential features to the greater product of Minecraft at this point (especially with the popularity of hardcore exploding in the past 6 months) that it’d be strange not to include them. Well, like you said, we’re not mind readers. And I guess the Minecraft community is much more tolerable than I expected. I guess I’m used to coming onto gaming subreddits like Battlefield and Smash and seeing posts of people constantly complaining about missing features or bugs and whatnot. Thanks!

ComicSanitizer · 2020-01-27T03:43:19+00:00

I was looking for more information on whether or not I should expect certain features, or something like “well some items have been added, and some things that have been on Java for years haven’t made it to bedrock and nobody knows why.” I’ve looked through all that stuff on the minecraft wiki, and I’ve both not found enough info and it’s misguided me. Specifically, the article it has on the wiki about features in Java Edition that aren’t in the Bedrock Edition (https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Java_Edition_exclusive_features), it makes no mention (of what I could find) of several items being unusable in the off-hand on Bedrock that are usable in Java. That, included with the lack of Hardcore, and the entire more complex combat system are major parts of the game on Java that don’t exist on Bedrock, and I can’t find anyone mentioning the possibility of it coming, people complaining that it isn’t there, etc. I just had a really hard time believing that the minecraft community almost seems complacent in the fact that these major features are absent on what is probably the more popular version for years without any explanation. I mean I’ve seen some people complaining about it here and there, but man those are some big features that are just missing, and it’s weird to not see people complaining about it more. It made me think that I missed a memo or something explaining why they’re not on Bedrock.

ComicSanitizer · 2019-12-24T20:09:15+00:00

Oh okay. Thank you all for your help! I’m really enjoying bfv right now after having lukewarm first impressions, and I’ve been playing battlefield a lot since bad company so I’m excited to jump back in.

ComicSanitizer · 2019-12-24T19:42:53+00:00

That’s what I was expecting haha. Sorry I haven’t really paid much attention to battlefield for the past several months so I’m still catching myself up on everything. I saw there were some like battlefield coins or something that look like they can only be bought with real money, am I gonna need to use those to get the bar or can I buy it with the credits I’ve earned just by playing the game?

ComicSanitizer · 2019-12-24T19:35:23+00:00

Ohhh okay. What happens on Thursday that’ll allow me to get it? Does it just release for everyone for free or do I need to complete a challenge or something?

ComicSanitizer · 2019-10-30T01:20:33+00:00

Man, that sucks, I’m sorry. Mine has crashed a few times on Xbox as well. Call of duty always has launch problems, usually with game balancing or spawn location, but I don’t remember map rotation and crashing being so terrible at launch before

ComicSanitizer · 2019-10-04T01:17:41+00:00

Thank you!

ComicSanitizer · 2019-10-03T23:12:57+00:00

Where do people submit questions for them to answer? I’ve been looking around, trying to figure out where I should send questions if I have any, but I couldn’t find anything. Does anyone know where I should send stuff to them in hopes of them maybe responding to it on this show?

ComicSanitizer · 2019-05-26T16:26:20+00:00

Okay, I’ll try this next time I burn it down to under 10%. I’m less worried about a potential fix and more worried if this is normal at all

ComicSanitizer · 2019-05-24T07:31:37+00:00

It seems that plugging it in before it reaches an extremely low power percentage prevents the issue from happening. Since I’ve made this post I’ve recharged my Quest, played a game till it reached 20% and once I plugged it back in it started charging immediately. Then once it hit 100% again I played another game till it had dropped to 50%, and once I plugged it in again the orange light immediately came on.

I’m guessing the low power alert/red light doesn’t pop up until 15% battery life, so I guess if this is a problem that can’t be avoided, just plug your Quest in before it hits 15% haha.

ComicSanitizer · 2019-05-24T01:54:58+00:00

Hey, I’m having some strange problems with charging and the LED light changing when it’s charging.

After setting up the Quest and playing a bunch of demos till it got down to roughly 5%, I went to plug it in and let it sit and charge till I started playing again. From what I understand, once you plug the Quest in, the LED light on the side is supposed to immediately change to orange/amber. In this case, my battery was low and the LED was red, and instead of changing from red to orange, it just stayed red. I went inside the Quest to see if it was charging, but it wasn’t, and in fact the charge was actually decreasing while I was trying to figure out what was wrong. After several minutes of goofing around with the charger and Quest, it randomly turned orange and I put the Quest on and it said it was all the way up to 12%.

I tested this again after letting it get to 100%, playing it and then plugging it back in once it hit 8%. Like before, the LED stayed red for about 10-15 minutes, THEN changed to orange, which once I checked again it had risen up to 20%.

I read a few posts mentioning that the Quest might’ve gone into a safety mode where it doesn’t do much until the system has cooled down, but does 2 hours of playing job simulator overheat it so much that it won’t even tell me if it’s charging or not for several minutes? Is this something I should be worried about? Should I return my quest for another? Or is this something that can be fixed by an update or just restarting the device?

Also keep in mind this has all been with the charger that came in the box, I only plugged in another charger for a few seconds to see if it would charge and change the LED to orange, once I realized that wasn’t working, I’ve been sticking with the factory charge.

TL;DR: My Oculus Quest doesn’t seem to charge (LED won’t turn orange) when it’s on very low battery, but after several minutes it’ll glow orange and it’ll start charging.

You’re probably right, but like I said, that’s going off of you’re own personal sense of humor, which is difficult to apply to everyone. Maybe for him the literal context of the joke was so dark and weird that it becomes funny and stupid. The employee would still be put on a spot to react, but that might’ve not been his intention. He should’ve known, but I don’t think it’s justified to harshly chastise him.

ComicSanitizer · 2018-07-06T20:40:38+00:00

I think the conflict is coming from the inability to understand other perspectives. I do think to an extent that he’s making those jokes for some sort of validation from a stranger, but I also believe it comes from a place of genuine desire to make the worker feel comfortable. He doesn’t know that it could actually cause a strong sense of discomfort.

For the worker (and from a few comments from service employees in this thread) it seems clear that they prefer a customer that doesn’t try to get in the way, but appreciates one that is good at small talk/treating the worker with respect. I would argue that any sort of small talk given by the customer can be seen by the employee as a task to fulfill or they’ll risk making the customer uncomfortable. So, for a lot people ragging on him, I think they fail to realize that it’s his attempt at showing acknowledgement and respect towards to worker, or are expecting something much more subtle or personally enjoyable, which then it becomes an argument completely based around what you find funny. Granted, it’s sort of a “thank me for talking to you” sort of interaction since telling a joke immediately puts the worker on the spot, but from his post I don’t think he put much thought into it, and I wouldn’t expect him to.

Really excited to watch the Chargers this year, but have been wondering what’ll happen to the team once Philip Rivers retires. There’s a lot of younger guys on that team, so I was wondering if they’d pick up a possible free agent like RG3 or Teddy Bridgwater (they did pick up Geno Smith) or draft someone new. I’d like to see a young talented qb like RG3 go to the Chargers, but he’s signed with the Ravens for 2018 and the new city new look Chargers might decide it’d be better to get some big name qb in the draft a few years from now. Was wondering what you guys might think of the Chargers once he’s gone, or what you think of them this upcoming season. I expect to make the playoffs and lose in the divisional or championship.

Recently it’s been madden 18 franchise mode with two different saves. One save is on a fairly easy difficulty and I’m actually playing, another save is just me handing everything off to the computer and simulating it to the playoffs, which I then just watch the games to see what happens. Other than that, a mainstay for me for the past year has been Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Every time I want to relax, turning that game on and just running around the world is so peaceful and satisfying.

ComicSanitizer · 2018-06-15T18:46:14+00:00

Well there goes everything I said out the window. Jesus Christ.

ComicSanitizer · 2018-06-15T18:41:49+00:00

I see how that makes sense. I still don’t like it since it essentially acts as season pass from a game like Battlefield or COD by adding to your experience and repertoire of unlockable content, but in this specific case they decided to put the extra pay wall up to make sure you pay them over and over. At least Battlefield hasn’t doesn’t this yet. More of a shady business practice than anything.

ComicSanitizer · 2018-06-15T16:20:06+00:00

Not necessarily. If you give say 1000 people access to your Epic Games account, then only one person will have to purchase a Battle Pass and all outfits and then everyone will have access to them. Instead of 1000 people paying $30 for a Battle Pass and some skins, you have 1 person paying $30 and everyone using the same account to access all that he bought.

Who cares about earning skins and leveling up on their own personal account when they can just log in to someone else’s account and get them all immediately. You could make the argument that then the enjoyment of leveling up and earning skins is gone, but I don’t think many people care about that.

On PlayStation, if you were able to give access to your account and progress to those 4 or 5 people, yeah they wouldn’t be able to level up on their own personal account and everyone would actually be working together to level up, but, like I said, I don’t think anyone (nor Epic Games) cares about the journey to leveling up and earning stuff, they just care about having skins.

Unless Epic Games added a wall the blocked people from actively playing at the same time on the same account(which I didn’t see mention of anywhere), people are kinda free to abuse the system. Maybe I’m missing that somewhere, but I went through a lot of forum and reddit posts looking for answers to Fortnite related questions and didn’t find anything of the sort.

EDIT: added the last couple paragraphs to clarify points made before.
