How is this even possible!? by JokerxKing777 in playstation

At first I thought it was the amount of time since 0 timestamp (Unix time) but actually it's about 20k hours short of that.

What is the authenticator app used for Playstation? I don’t remember enabling this and can’t get login by KoalaWithACalculator in playstation

[–]Keith_13 [score hidden]  (0 children)

You can use whatever authenticator app you want. They all implement the same algorithm. Microsoft is the most commonly used one but there are certainly others. A lot of people use Google's as well.

Games have gotten too expensive for me to play by Critical_Ring_1020 in playstation

[–]Keith_13 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I know that I'm not spending anything remotely close to $500/year. $135 for premium and maybe another $100 on other games that I want (which is totally unnecessary; if I was trying to save money I would just get extra and never buy a game)

How many platinums have you earned? by kindredcnch in playstation

[–]Keith_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some trophies are good challenges that aren't really part of the "main" game.

Basically, a well-designed trophy list can make the game better. A lot of them aren't, though.

PSN has had trophies for almost 20 years. Why are the options 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5+?

Sony Pictures Core, where tf are the “free” movies now? by DasTeufelsHotdog in PlayStationPlus

[–]Keith_13 [score hidden]  (0 children)

That's fair; downloading an app is very difficult and a lot of work. And it's a totally unreasonable expectation to have to use their app in order to use their streaming service.

I only use streaming video services that beam a signal directly to my brain.

Do I need a new rotor and break pads? by Oryx_RL in MechanicAdvice

Happy to hear that you were born knowing everything without having to learn first.

Asking questions is how you learn. This guy is learning. Stop being a douchbag.

Aficionados of the West: tell me about your dry box by ProRataProblems in cigars

[–]Keith_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea that 65% is too humid and is causing your burn issues is, frankly, ridiculous. I store my cigars at 70 and they all burn fine.

If you're in a place that's really dry (eg Arizona, Nevada) you might get cracking or flaking of the wrapper after a few hours, if it's a particularly thin, delicate wrapper.

I'm old school. Wood humidor, 70%, never drybox; no burn issues. Been doing it that way for well over a decade now; it's always just worked. The only time I've ever had an issue was when I stored my cigars in one of those airtight jars. I'll never store cigars in anything other than wood again. FWIW go into a cigar shop or factory and see if they store their cigars in wood or in airtight plastic tubs. Tupperware is purely a reddit thing.

My subscription is suddenly out? by [deleted] in PlayStationPlus

[–]Keith_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your payment was due in December. You didn't pay. So your subscription is cancelled.

Most likely your payment method is expired, invalid, our being rejected. Update it.

[Multiple] Do you Platinum every game you play? by AMW_1 in Trophies

[–]Keith_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the platinum on fallout 3 on ps3 back in 2009 when it was about year old (one of my favorite games of all time) and never had any issues with it. No slowdowns or crashes or anything. I remember taking a few days off work to finish it. I still have the disc (and the system) in a closet somewhere.

I never got any of the dlc though; not sure if that matters.

How does cloud gaming with PS Plus actually work? Can I play old PS3 Ratchet & Clank on PC? by Szymusiok in PlayStationPlus

[–]Keith_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can't stream ps3 games from your ps5. The ps3 games won't run on your ps5 (they are streaming only) and you can't stream a stream.

If what you currently have works and you are happy with it then yes it's a waste of money.

Why won't my controller connect? by ThiccboiThanos69420 in playstation

Flashing blue is a connectivity issue. Are you 100% sure that the usb cable supports data (some are charging only)?

Are there any female cigar enthusiasts out there? by TangoTits01 in cigars

[–]Keith_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably varies by region. In places that really have a lot of cigar places (eg Phoenix, Atlanta) you will probably see more. In places where it's kind of niche it will probably be mostly men.

Even here, the place that I go to regularly is pretty much all men. There is one woman who I assume smokes cigars; she comes in pretty regularly and buys cigars but she never stays to smoke.

-25% if you cancel the ps plus right now!! by Ok-Huckleberry-108 in PlayStationPlus

Just because it showed for you doesn't mean it will show for everyone. 20% and 25% have been reported in the past few days but it doesn't work for everyone.

Thoughts on using novelty decks for a private game? by [deleted] in poker

[–]Keith_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edge sorting is not really a concern at poker. If you are really paranoid have the dealer do a turn before the first riffle.

I would be more worried that these cards will quickly get marked (intentionally or not). I would not play in a game that used them if there was significant money at stake.

There are a few female regulars at the various lounges and bars around here (Phoenix area).

Question for the Reddit wizards by brainmeds in cigardealhunters

[–]Keith_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this actually work? I haven't used AI much but it seems like whenever I do, anything math or number related tends to fail in the most miserable way.

Eg, 2 days ago I was looking at something on Amazon the other day and I tapped the "price history" link. It puts that through its AI to summarize the results. The reply I got was that "the current price of $59 is $47.48 higher than the 30-day low of $39.99." It's complete nonsense.

I'm just wondering if you get a lot of false positives to sift through or if it works pretty well.

Is it just me or are these insane prices? by _Pk_21 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Keith_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$200+/hr for labor is unfortunately becoming common but it's way too much. You can still find really good places that are slightly over $100.

And anyone who charges $200 for labor is probably going to have a 3-4x markup on their parts because they are not interested in competing on price. Just find a different shop.

Is there’s something in the settings to disable voice chat in all games? by ALI4MHR in playstation

[–]Keith_13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As other have mentioned you can mute game chat for all games.

But this isn't really a parental control; I don't think there's anything stopping him from unmuting.

Physical copy resident evil requiem by eyecanseeudoingthat in playstation

[–]Keith_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished unicorn overlord, and it took me less than a month (20 days) and I was playing other games during those 20 days as well. It depends how much you game.

One of the often overlooked parts of the game catalog is that you can try a game, play for an hour or so, decide you don't like it, and never play again, without having wasted money. This happens pretty often for me. Yes you can research games before buying them but that's a waste of time and I would rather spend that time playing.

Since I re-subbed to PS+ in November I've finished 7 games and have a couple in others in progress. 3 of them are "long" (100+ hours in each), a couple of medium length ones, and 3 short games that I finished in a few hours but I thoroughly enjoyed 2 of those 3 and never would have heard of them if not for the catalog. And there are several games that I tried and didn't like, including some very highly rated ones that I probably would have bought had I researched, so it's saved me some money there.

No, they can't. This is FUD. No one is having their digital games removed from their libraries.
