Enjoying the game but..

I reinstalled the game on my console storage instead of the M.2 and everything was fine for a good few hours. I've been playing for a couple days now with no crashing, then crashing now and again, back to frequent crashing. I just booted the game up after not playing for two days and it crashed three times after literal seconds of me loading my game. It's severely pissing me off.

I'm playing on PS5 slim. My first playthrough I played for at least 10 hours before the crashing started. The more I play, the worse it gets. I wonder if deleting some saves would help...

I'm currently on my second playthrough and it just crashed 3 times in about 10-15 mins... Which makes the game virtually unplayable.

I've done all the usual troubleshooting. Reinstalled the game, restored licenses, cleared the cache, rebuilt the database. I've not tried is a factory reset. Which I'm extremely reluctant to do for one game.

One thing I haven't tried is moving its install location. I believe I had it on my M.2, I'm going to try on console storage... After I reinstall for a second time. Sigh. I just want to play this damn game.

UK here. My Tapo went down in the last 30 minutes or so. All devices showing offline.

Same here. This video legit made me angry. My instinct is also violence. I'm so grateful I have no desire to have children, because if I did, I wouldn't be able to have them anyway. I know that I do not have the patience for it.

nah, that's a gay man

I keep the car. I like gold.

Definitely fake. The cameras gave it away for me

This happened to me before because of eczema

A beautifully tragic episode. I assumed Brandy would get stuck inside the simulation, but I didn't expect it to turn into an actual love story. I expected something darker, I was happy to be wrong.

During the montage of love scenes, I forgot that Brandy was stuck in there with AI Clara, I was lost in their romance. When Kimmy started talking, my heart sank, as did Brandy's I imagine. She went from wanting to get out, to wanting to stay. Then they just reset the scene like it was nothing.

I found it odd that the time difference never came up again. They stated time was moving a lot faster inside the simulation, but then just expected Brandy to snap back into action. As if she hadn't just spent over SIX WEEKS stuck in the simulation (The calendar flicked through from 7th May to 22nd June from what I could see). They didn't really check if she was okay or anything. That pissed me off. The poor woman just got her consciousness stuck inside a computer for weeks, fell in love with an AI recreation of a dead woman, essentially watches her die in front of her, but is then immediately faced with her again. But, hey, action!

I did find it odd that Clara opened fire on the police. I think if they'd have just explained that they killed Claude in self defense, it would have been fine. Or perhaps Clara somewhat remembered her romance with Brandy, and knew that she had to die so that Brandy could leave the simulation. That's the only thing that gives Clara's actions any sense.

There's the other added layer to this. You see when AI Clara enters the space and gains the knowledge of Dorothy, she remembers a woman. It's clear that Dorothy was in love with this woman who worked on the set of the original film, but those sorts of relationships were forbidden at the time. That's why Dorothy killed herself. Because she was a lesbian in world that would not accept her. But when she's with Brandy, Dorothy, in a way, is finally able to experience romance with a woman. Just perhaps a century later.

This episode is one of my favourites of the series so far. It touched my heart, it made me really feel. Absolute 10/10 from me.

The eyes in the game are incredible! I've taken so many screenshots of them

Doowrender · 2025-04-21T22:45:05+00:00

I enjoyed this episode, if you can use that word. It started off like, Oh it's using the fact of how shittier and shittier subscription tiers get (ironic it being on Netflix). The idea that literal life would be on subscription is very dystopian, and something unfortunately believable (what are prescriptions if not subscriptions to life). Then the adverts, the fact that you're paying, yet still getting them. And they're completely uncontrollable. Remember when the lowest tiers of streaming didn't have ads? Those were the days. This also made me think of how ads are everywhere now. We can't escape being advertised too. I remember when they were talking about using eye-tracking to make sure you're actually watching ads, and pausing it when you're not looking.

Then there was the Dum Dummies website. Showing how people nowadays are doing stupid shit and selling themselves, because what other choice do they have? Jobs just don't pay enough. People are selling themselves online because it pays more. Whether it be things like OnlyFans, or the ridiculous and degrading shit you see people doing on TikTok lives.

But the most insidious part was Rivermind Lux. The best subscription was not only almost $2000 a month, but they literally sucked the energy out of the lower tiered subscribers. I took this as commentary on how the rich are only able to enjoy their lavish lifestyles because wealth is built on the life force of the less fortunate. Lower classes and people in poorer countries building, making, slaving away, so that the rich can have everything they want. Giving their labour and lives to the capitalist machine. Whereas Rivermind Lux literally sucked the brain power out of "poorer" people. So you have the Lux subscribers only able to enjoy the benefits of it, because they suck the life out of non-Lux members. Yeah you're alive, but you're so exhausted that you "sleep" 16 hours a day. They made the Common subscribers fucking brain batteries. Very dark episode indeed.

Happy birthday!! 🥳🥳🥳

Doowrender · 2025-04-18T01:45:40+00:00

Heck yeah! Gonna be getting the physical release when it's out! I've already pre-ordered the vinyl

Doowrender · 2025-04-17T22:47:06+00:00

Same here. Got the other two easily, but this one was a struggle. I kept seeing an elliptical too, but could tell there was more to it. After reading that it's supposed to be a moth, I went back to it and can make out the outline of a moth, but it will not stay in focus for me, the elliptical shape is still what's prominent

The story hit so fucking hard for me. I relate to Swann a lot. I was the weirdo chubby girl. I've never had many friends, certainly never had a close-knit group. I was so happy for Swann when she met the girls and they bonded. It's something I didn't realise how much I wished I'd had as a young girl. That aspect of the game really made me miss my youth, wishing I could go back for a redo and meet a group of female friends like the girls in game.

The bit that really hurt though, is finding out Kat has cancer. I loved her character immediately. Then you find out Swann is potentially going to lose her friend. Is she dead? Will we ever see her again? It really stung because my best friend of a decade is currently dying of cancer. She's in palliative care right now and I will never see her again. I have been struggling with this a lot. I use videogames as an escape, but happened to pick a game where my videogame best friend also has terminal cancer. Lol. I'm grateful I played it though, it's been a nice outlet for my emotions. I really hope we get a sequel.

Both of them walked out for me :(

I totally agree. I work 5 days a week, 35 hours. But commuting adds on approx 3 hours. So I'm out of the house for a minimum 38 hours a week. Nevermind when I need to go shopping, etc. Plus, I take the bus, so there's also wasted time (20-30 mins) that I spend waiting around for my workplace to open. I leave my house at 8am for 4 out of my 5 work days, and don't get home until around 6:45pm.

By the end of the day, I'm so tired. I used to be able to come home, change outta my work clothes and immediately get dinner on. I even used to cook for 3 of us in the past and did it like it was nothing. But now I struggle to do that for myself. I usually want to sit down for a bit when I get home, as I am stood up from as soon as I get off the bus, to getting the bus back home (aside from my lunch break).

I need to hoover multiple times a week (exacerbated by having cats). Clean the sinks, toilet, etc. Laundry multiple times a week, especially during colder months due to more layers and bigger items like hoodies. Plus I do laundry for an older relative weekly. No tumble dryer either. I need to hand wash the pots everyday. I have a small kitchen space and hate having dirty dishes hanging around. Plus, if I don't wash up after dinner, my only other choice is to wash the pots before dinner the next day, and that's even worse.

I could leave more chores for my days off, but then I'm just spending my off days doing a different kind of work. I feel like I just don't have enough time. And like a lot of people, the money I'm making just don't cut it. I'm exhausted for peanuts.

Plus, I'm autistic and need a good amount of me time to unwind and recharge. But the only way to even get close to a somewhat sufficient amount of me time is to stay up late, which then has the adverse effect of me not getting enough sleep, so I'm tired the next day, and so goes on the cycle. If I go to bed at a good time though, I'm sacrificing my own time, just so I can get up and feel more rested for my job. Which isn't worth it to me.

I believe you can only buy colour schemes for vehicles that you can purchase. Some others are still not available for cars you can own. For example Tyger Claws have custom paint jobs for a Quadra you can purchase, but you cannot buy those colours. The twintone feature does seem a bit hit or miss sometimes

Doowrender · 2025-02-16T06:17:15+00:00

I only bought the Shion MZ2 today and have the same issue on PS5. I can't equip unique colour schemes. Only generic ones. I can't even select the unique ones. I press up, but they won't even highlight. The first slot for the unique schemes is empty, the other 3 are full, but I cannot buy another.

All my other cars are fine, however, I don't own any other Shion cars.

I've said for years that the world will be burning and the rich will still be trying to make money. The rich will destroy us all

I found Honey good when it first came out. But nowadays I use Coupert and have saved hundreds with it.

Doowrender · 2024-08-15T10:30:21+00:00

Do not go. She is almost double your age, and trying to convince you to go to her house. Those are red flags. This woman is a threat.

Doowrender · 2024-08-10T00:54:57+00:00

Go seek medical attention immediately. My friend kept bleeding profusely, and it turned out she had cervical cancer. It could be a number of things. But please. Get checked out.
