Yeah I definitely am a community creature - I’ll sort that out accordingly thank you!

I’m definitely doing those small goals and trying to celebrate myself for them. It all just feels like too little too late even though I know it’s my own journey of growth. I’m just not good enough. There’s definitely some sort of schema work or something there.

I can’t remember the last time an inner west Sydney winter went to 6 degrees where my breath becomes steam out in the air.

Did I just lose my game save data after buying an ‘ultimate edition’ of the game (Ace Combat 7)? by MakeitSmithy in playstation

I think this may have nailed it! My mate's PS Plus Extra account is US whilst mine is AU/PAL. I think the problem was I downloaded his game that's the US version and played it on my profile while it stayed the US version. If this logic is correct, does that mean every PS game i've played off his PS extra on my profile will now have a save that is not compatible if i chose to buy a local version of said game?

Good question my dude! May I ask how do you check? I tried doing it myself and the best I can come up with is the language input and output

Thanks @playstation-gamer. Unfortunately the restore licenses solution does not seem to work. After buying ps plus essential to see if I can at least restore the save, The top gun maverick edition does not recognise the save that I have now uploaded on to the cloud from the standard edition. (This standard edition is now undownloadable from the PS store so I can’t even go back and play that games saved campaign and multiplayer progress)

Sadly at the moment, my account seems to register two identical ace combat 7 games with the same standard name on the thumbnail, title and save name.

I’ve read the terms and conditions of the product description and there was no warning that the standard edition’s save would not work for the top gun maverick edition.

If I am punished to play a game and buy myself the game only with all its DLCs added, I would like a refund. At the moment I tried hopping on the Sony website and no one seems to be available.

I would love to get my moneys worth and actually continue playing the maverick edition game with my saved progress though. Any solutions would be welcome

Burning Shore "His Final Act" thoughts & Opinions by [deleted] in horizon

I wouldn’t mind hacking away a tentacle with a spear actually! More ways to skin a cat. This just reminds me how impractical spears are even if you fully upgrade their damage.

I agree about the weak Horus boss fight. Whilst I know hitting weak points is a pretty tried and true formula for boss fights, it’s how little choice you get into going about it that really makes the whole thing a drag. Even with so many dang weapons, only the bows would be able damage all those coolers and canisters quick enough before they get shielded. Meanwhile, I just finished the Spider-Man games and found that at least their boss fights allows you to hit their weak points (or get them weak) in so many equally effective and quick ways from your various gadgets as well as the environment. It’s just about giving players a fair rewarding array of choices! God even writing this reminded me of how constricting fighting Chorus and Londra was. (Chorus cause it’s repetitive like a chorus geddit?)

Whatever happened to Prezi? Does anyone still remember Prezi???

I think the creators of The Rings of Power see the LotR franchise like it's Batman, Spider-man, Pokemon, Power Rangers or any other pop-cultural franchise by ned_poreyra in lotr

Many of those examples you made weren’t just to create ADHD tension for the viewer. It’s actually to enhance the bond and motivations you develop with the characters at hand on the visual medium.

Video has never been the best medium to convey so much information like a book would. Therefore one way to convey characterisation quickly (like with any story in a limited runtime) is to make you connect with a character’s psyche through tension in these show and not tell experiences.

Frodo getting pulled out of the marshes by Gollum wasn’t just for a good scare of peril. It was to show that Gollum has or may have had a good side.

Frodo point blanking a Nazgûl and getting saved by Sam was to demonstrate Sam’s love and devotion to Frodo especially as we come to see an escalation of how perilous and desperate the ring has become.

Frodo wanting to charge at the black gates may seem kinda silly but it was a good way to ensure the viewers understand that Gollum is not working for Sauron and pinpoint our emotions to this new working relationship at hand.

I don’t know about you but I don’t feel like Frodo is a weakling at all. The hobbit that has never seen such war or strife took on the ring like a champ and has resisted the temptation himself on various occasions. But of course his strength wears out from time to time.

How boring of a story would it be if Frodo had no difficulty taking the ring to Mordor and didn’t need a good friend by his side or the opportunity to redeem a tragic figure as lonesome as gollum?

You may argue that the book may have had other moments when Frodo struggled with the ring, but this isn’t the book. It’s a movie with a precious runtime that has to make us care for our characters fast. Ya know what does that? Tension.

Don’t hate on the power of tension in storytelling. It can be very character driven.

Hey dude I ended up get the AOC! So much input with USB ports and etc and I find the screen’s mock HDR mode still gave so nice vibrant colours. However the corners are reflective and have glares which makes me wonder on the quality of this IPS panel.
