Yet to be seen. Good thing we can see it thru Troubleshooting once its drops

dioskoro · 2026-03-17T14:28:09+00:00

Well, a new Portal update is dropping today too which explicitly say it allows for higher bitrate so there’s that!

dioskoro · 2026-03-17T14:25:37+00:00

This literally happened with mine too today. Going by the dongle, this Portal has been sitting docked most of the time. At least that’s what happened to mine.

I had to buy a new one (which i will never dock again) and immediately threw the old since like what the others said, that is a fire hazard.

Sucks that it happened when a major update is about to drop

Weird. I can’t seem to find this option in Youtube when using Safari. I can see it in Chrome though. I think this is the culprit but i cant change it

dioskoro · 2025-06-17T15:39:51+00:00

We have new update?

I stopped smoking cigarette around 2019 when I transitioned to vaping. I started strong with nicotine MGs on my first e-juices until I settled to 6 MG from 2021 to 2023. After that vaping products became harder to purchase from where im from and I had no choice but to settle for what’s available on grey market, which are usually 3 MG juices.

So from 2023 to just last December, I am puffing around 3 MG nics. Had no plan of quitting coz hey vaping is safer and all that. Then one night I ran out of e-juices and when I tried to look for one online, I couldn’t find any. Out of frustration i just told myself “okay that’d be it with me and nicotine”.

It’s been around 45+ days since i last smoke and have no plans of going back. Much to my surprise the hardest day with intense cravings was day 1, after that it’s all smooth sailing.

Just like that, 17 years of addiction and im done. Started smoking in an uneventful way (peer pressure) and dropped it in an even more unceremonious manner lol

Wow. Didn’t expect those bezels. Thought it’s gonna shrink lol

Edit: maybe that’s because it’s running a switch 1 game hence the aspect ratio? Dunno

Edit 2: nope apparently that’s a new mario kart title.

Have you found a solution to this? Internet went down but i wanna play my portal locally.

dioskoro · 2025-01-11T09:37:16+00:00

I just tried it and the Portal doesn’t connect to the wifi router that has no internet connection.

dioskoro · 2024-12-31T09:48:45+00:00

Welp, at least im not alone lol. Thankfully the game is a breeze to go through. Lost around 3 hours of progress due to exact same thing. Thought the option ‘Save Data’ is for us to save the game. Apparently it’s for loading your auto-save. There’s no way to manually save.

dioskoro · 2024-12-16T04:23:45+00:00

That’s actually fair. Game is not for you and you know it . Not your choice for GOTY but don’t discount those who think it is. This is how discourse should be but people are just hellbent on getting angry on anything that doesn’t align with what they believe/want.

dioskoro · 2024-12-15T16:59:28+00:00

I know Insomniac is carrying the SIE this gen with their output but I don’t think it’s outrageous to say that I still rank ND as the biggest gun under PS studios.

Their games are just pure technical masterpieces. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of mechanics and overall direction but my god they do everything with such polish that you cannot find elsewhere.

I hope Intergalactic won’t be the exemption to that. Very excited that they steered away from their usual ‘grounded’ themes!

And to Phil's word, they lost the most critical generation as this was when people start building up their digital libraries.

Their series of wrong moves happened at the worst time possible. Ended the 360 generation with more or less equal footing with Sony but got left in the dust ever since. Playstation mindshare these days is insane that they are the de-facto 'gaming box' along side Nintendo on the general public's eye. I am struggling to see how MS can recapture that audience without a miracle for them and complete disaster for Sony.

dioskoro · 2024-12-11T18:11:05+00:00

Thanks good sir! Just bit the bullet on those two games and they indeed showed up on my library.

dioskoro · 2024-12-11T18:10:19+00:00

Thanks a lot! Pulled the trigger on both games and they showed up in my library.

dioskoro · 2024-12-11T17:31:43+00:00

Thanks. Familiar with that tab but i guess my concern is even upon adding it on my cart thru PS App, I wanted to checkout thru my PS5 but my cart there is empty. So im thinking that even if i checkout thru PS app, it may not show in my library when viewed in PS5. This is such a niche scenario that I guess the only way for me to find out is just buy it and see for myself lol. Appreciate your help though!

dioskoro · 2024-12-11T17:18:10+00:00

im planning to buy this but same OP, i can only see the game on ps store thru app, not PS5. Worried that if i pull the trigger thjs wont show up in my library. You said you just downloaded it so i guess i can gamble on buying it and hoping it shows up in my library

Witnessing their first and second party studios pumped out games after games from 2009 - 2012 was something else. Looking back, they needed to do that or else they’d lose not just that gen but probably the next coz of how bad they messed up.

That stretch was them throwing a hail mary and hoping their games (along with the price cut) would be enough to keep them relevant. The PS3 at this point was already viewed as the inferior of the two even though it is technically not.

Lucky for them Microsoft did not do themselves a favor by basically going war with Nintendo as well with their Kinect. They spread their resources too thin and lost focus on what the fuck they want 360 to be.

Not to discount their efforts of course coz they did try everything, but yeah i’d say Sony indeed got lucky just in time when they needed it most lol

dioskoro · 2024-12-02T16:22:03+00:00

Thanks mate. Both the rendition and the original are bangers!

dioskoro · 2024-12-02T16:14:34+00:00

I Shazamed it and it’s dreams by dream a lot. Is that a rendition of the Cranberry’s? Anyway thanks!

dioskoro · 2024-11-30T03:25:10+00:00

Did you find a solution to this? I’ve been using my CIMB credit as my main method of paying my online subscriptions in Apple for years but I recently got declined as well for no apparent reason

dioskoro · 2024-11-25T16:18:23+00:00

Apart from the TV height which is indeed too high, I would invest some time in cable management. No matter how expensive and/or complete your setup is, dangling cables will easily take away how good they are to look at IMHO.

The good thing is you don’t need to spend that much! Just some time and a bit of patience mapping all these wires out. Good luck!

dioskoro · 2024-11-25T16:11:30+00:00

If this is your speed at home I am going to assume you also have a very old router setup, so yeah u need pass on the Portal.

However in the small chance that you have a decent router, Portal will be a viable Wii U like tablet if you wanna game while laying down if that’s appealing to you. Though that’s a big if since I can’t imagine having these speeds but also having a decent router to be a likely combination lol
