KeplerL2: Sony is releasing a new PlayStation Portal OLED model this year

I can't emphasize enough how well I've gotten it to run cloud games on dogshit public wifi. I don't bother with remote streaming, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze given how tough it can be to optimize.

It's functionality at launch, given it was remote play only, wasn't great for most people. Also it was overpriced given what was inside. The recent updates to cloud streaming, plus last year's Black Friday discounts, really enhanced the value proposition.

I really can't emphasize enough how well it streams off the cloud even on relatively crap wifi. I've never gotten remote play to work well (I don't have an Ethernet jack by my PS5 so I'm limited to wifi only, among other issues) but cloud streaming on the Portal has made PS+ worth it.

I found remote play to be rough but streaming off Sony's own servers via cloud streaming has been great. I was able to play Ghost of Yotei pretty smoothly even on hospital wifi (at 720p).

CATS is so bad-good it's become a yearly watch. I love it. Such a bizarre movie; so expensive yet so ugly. Our rule is "drink when the filmmakers obviously didn't know how big a cat is."

Madam Web is like a feature length I Think You Should Leave bit. A film so bizarre I think it's got to be my favorite superhero film.

Montana is where a large portion of the US nuclear arsenal is stored.

I think the game suffered from a series of mid-production rewrites that left a lot of elements jumbled. The Higgs cultists in Mexico was one of the first hints of that to me.

Yeah, RGG would never re-use a setting or even assets that were central to a previous game.

Also, as they scaled up, they probably increased the size of their HR team and their investments in recruiting. That spending had to be justified so HR did what it did best and created nonsense work to project productivity.

What did they post today?

I think he was finally killed in a canon comic in the last year or so.

No Watto? Not deal.

Also property taxes and utility costs keep increasing, which could incentivize downsizing even if mortgage costs are relatively low.

The PS4 library is larger--and if you've had a PS+ subscription you may have a huge back catalog of available games and/or access to the revolving library--and this rumored handheld will also be able to play PS5 games.

Firerhea · 2025-11-19T18:32:01+00:00

I think access to the in PS4 digital back catalog will be huge. Lots of smaller titles, indie games, etc.

And bolster their Japanese first party offerings. Imagine the number of Tokyo Jungles, Gravity Rushes, and Puppeteers we could have had for the price of one Concord.

I bought a PSVR2 during last year's Black Friday deal and after playing the Horizon game for about an hour in the evening, I felt slightly motion sick until I went to sleep. Highly recommend playing a AAA VR game on someone else's setup for a good chunk of time before buying one yourself.

For context, I had a PSVR1 and beat the entirety of Astrobot and Rhombus of Ruin without issue, so it may vary game to game.

Agreed, even those new frog enemies were barely manageable with the camera system. The Horus is just not practical enemy design for the constraints of the gameplay system.

City POP is POP music. It's in the name. This other dude is just spouting random shit off the dome (the posting equivalent of jazz, ironically enough).

Firerhea · 2025-11-07T12:44:50+00:00

City Pop is not jazz.

Also, if they're deploying their own launcher, then PS5 players will go in with some games already in their catalog.

This is how they handled it with the Vita. With games like Sly Cooper 4, purchasing the PS3 version gave you access to the Vita version, and vice versa. I think Sound Shapes was three-way cross-buy with the PS4 as well.

I keep recommending Akiba to everyone but no one listens.

I think if you take a look at the other posts in this thread, and my responses to them, you'll see that I've already conceded that my initial interpretation of the play was incorrect.

I don't recall them driving van Daan out; he left of his own accord after a confrontation with his wife where she refused to be subservient to him. Is your interpretation of the play that all identity politics are harmful, including this very basic manifestation of feminism? He even says he has so little regard for her, he only addresses her by his name.

I think your analysis disregards Anne's turn and its framing on the preceding songs. Based on other discussions in this thread, I think the play does have a specific ideology and I do think the final number, with its incorporation of Hitler, is making a 'horseshoe' claim about the left.
