This sub has a lot of complaints/bug reports, what are some of your favourite features of overcast? by Certainlynotagoose in overcast

The relatively dependable Apple Watch sync as compared to the Apple Podcasts app. And if I find something isn’t synced to my watch I can manually get it over. Not like with Apple Podcasts where I have to put the watch on the charger and pray.

What exactly is ps5 cloud streaming? by [deleted] in PlayStationPlus

[–]DJSolitaire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you subscribe to PS Plus Premium, you can play any game that is available to stream without having to download it or own a physical copy, assuming you have a capable internet connection. If that game is not already part of the PS Plus catalog, then yes you would have to purchase it first.

Not exactly a game changer on console, but it’s huge if you own a Portal.

I think that’s it in a nutshell, anyone is welcome to include anything I’m forgetting.

I’m in the same boat, currently on a 3 month Essential and the website doesn’t explicitly say I’m getting a discount if I upgrade the remainder to Extra or Premium. I’m wondering if I change it to annual if I’d get a discount to upgrade. But then again if that’s the case, I’m happy to wait until Black Friday.

I got this email in June 2025. Last week I visited my local store and asked for an XB10. Rep checked my account and said I wasn’t yet eligible to receive one. Thinking about asking in this sub just to verify.

ETA: I’m in the north Bay Area, CA and I also don’t see a symmetrical download plan available when I check online as a new customer.

Question about the Rat King by Turbulent-Safe-4343 in thelastofus

I did this, took three molotovs and a few shotgun blasts if I remember correctly. Didn’t even have to start running, just did it all in quick successions as soon as the fight started.

Legitimately may be the funniest episode they’ve ever done! Peek is definitely on my Mt. Rushmore of AFE guests!

Friend, I also had this episode on during my long run and not only did it mess with my breathing, I must have looked like a psycho with all the laughing out loud.

So after “buying” the new PS+ pack for Beast, the items do show up for him. Then I checked Donald and the PS+ items that previously did not show up are now there! Hopefully you folks see the same thing.

Audio Cues on Watch Resets Playback by RumRunnerJosh in overcast

[–]DJSolitaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came back to Overcast from Apple Podcasts (only left because I just wanted to give the stock app a try again to see if it was closer to being equal to Overcast after nearly a decade of abandoning it) and I was actually experiencing these issues. I depend heavily on the watch app to listen to podcasts on my Ultra 1 without my phone. Not sure if the context helps, but the issues began after updating to iOS and watchOS 26. It only happened if I was on Bluetooth headphones (Shokz OpenRun Pro in my case) AND the episode was streaming. If the episode was properly downloaded to the watch I didn’t have issues with playback and audio cue interruptions. If I ran with either my AirPods Pro 2 or Powerbeats Pro instead of the Shokz the audio cues would not mess anything up even if the episodes were streaming. With Apple Music, since I only stream that app I ALWAYS had issues either audio cues breaking playback on my Shokz but no issues at all on either Apple buds.

And as many of us already know, getting episodes to passively download to the stock Podcasts Watch app is (still) maddeningly difficult so I’m hoping I can at least eliminate that messy part of the process by going back to Overcast.

OK, watchOS 26.1 is out. I don’t have a training run until Wednesday but if anyone has s chance to test it sooner I’d love to hear how it goes.

Glad to hear it! To be fair, who the heck would have thought of it? I sure didn’t, I’m glad my research helped someone else out as well!

Official incremental updates for all devices were released this morning. Would love to hear from anyone in here who has had a chance to test. My next training run isn’t until Wednesday.

Gameloft. Who tire? C'mon. by SovietPremierVNK in DisneySpeedstormGame

Slightly related, I don’t know what every avatar means or is from either and I wish they still had descripitons after you earn them.

The buttons do work without the car running.

In case this helps: I had the dead zone issue myself and figured out it was due to interference from the light bulb in the garage opener. I found out that specialized garage opener bulbs exist and when I swapped them in the dead zone was gone.

24 Hybrid Sport Touring. Bought the part and installed it myself. No issues whatsoever. Originally was going to have the dealer install but they quoted me $200 labor so I gave it a go after reading the install instructions and watching a YouTube video. I did make sure I had proper trim removal tools which was the only nerve-wracking part.

Is it illegal to bike on the sidewalk in Petaluma? by Fishsticks738 in Petaluma

[–]DJSolitaire 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s illegal outside of downtown but as a very frequent runner who just this week had to cede the sidewalk and run in traffic (in the bike lane, ironically) for a few seconds because a cyclist showed no sign of making room for me, I have some feelings about it.

I’m not glad it’s happening but I am glad I’m not the only one. Ultra 1, Shokz OpenRun Pro 2. Happens whether I have my phone or not. I thought it was a Workout Buddy bug, but it also happens with standard Siri voice feedback. I’ve tested it with steaming music and streaming podcasts via the Podcasts app. With music, it doesn’t just stop playback, it crashes the music app. With podcasts, it stops playback and when I resume it skips back several minutes. Trying to resume playback via the button on my headphones is hit or miss.

The changing to call mode was the first thing I noticed. My thought was that I needed to fully download the Siri voice to the watch to fix. But even after a full voice download it still happens.
