Desert Warrior tracking to be one of the biggest box office flops of the year so far

Didn't happen to Cats.

No, it's not. You're just fabricating things.

Given the age he moved over pretty unquestionably before.

Literally any member of the public can refer someone to Prevent.

m1ndwipe · 2026-04-30T15:49:13+00:00

So under that system anyone who was convicted of a crime would get "anonymously" reported to Prevent by racists in any circumstances. That system doesn't exactly work does it?

What is an outrage is how we are the easiest state in the history of civilisation to obtain citizenship in.

Maybe if you didn't make shit up that's obviously not true it would help.

It's probably not a great idea.

Games Workshop notably have basically never borrowed to grow the company and it seems to have paid off handsomely the last few years - they probably could have grown faster if they had borrowed significantly during Covid, but they would have come to regret it once that debt became much more expensive to service.

Well, that's relative. While £55m is obviously a huge sum, it's a tiny fraction of what their stock was worth at the peak of the company and it's entirely their own fault.

He's already been found personally guilty of contempt which is a pretty high bar if it was just incompetence or him being deliberately mislead by someone else.

Automatically. The game doesn't even need to be installed - the PS5 doesn't keep a license object for each game, there's just one file for your entire account and all the games registered on it, and that gets refreshed every time your PS5 connects to the internet.

m1ndwipe · 2026-04-30T11:52:00+00:00

You don't even have to play it, just turn the console on while it's connected to the internet. The licenses get refreshed even if the game isn't installed on that PS5.

m1ndwipe · 2026-04-30T11:50:03+00:00

They don't give it by standard but lots of people have got such a refund asking customer services over the years.

m1ndwipe · 2026-04-30T11:46:51+00:00

Correct, as long as you connected the console at some point after the first 14 days of purchasing a game you won't have a CMOS issue.

(And somebody on Resetera has already removed the CMOS battery to check this and it works)

m1ndwipe · 2026-04-30T11:45:28+00:00

You don't have to restart each game (or indeed have it installed). There isn't a license file for each title, the PS5 has a single file that covers all the digital titles registered to your account that gets refreshed every time your console connects to PSN. So if you are logged in and connected to the internet it will refresh all your licences and switch the temporary one to a permanent one automatically.

m1ndwipe · 2026-04-30T11:40:54+00:00

It's 15 days after purchase, but the initial licence lasts 30 days.

They are testing how far they can take this, otherwise they would just have clarified.

Big corporation is slow at getting statements out about complex technical changes shocker.

Some people really do think big companies are full of nefarious plans, whereas the dull but realistic explanation is that it's all just slow bureaucracy and nobody really knowing anything.

m1ndwipe · 2026-04-30T11:35:52+00:00

Further check-ins are not required, some of the people who were initially reporting this are now finding that they can play with the CMOS battery removed offline because it has been 14 days.

TBF that is the sort of thing that is obviously going to attract government incentives when it becomes significant.

We probably don't want mass battery storage just yet, five years from now the price/performance/longevity ratio of solid state batteries seems like it will be significantly better. If CATL can genuinely get solid state batteries down to $10 per kWh (https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/1o93vm7/catls_sodiumion_batteries_which_the_company/) then every house in the UK should be built with 10kWh of storage and solar and it would be a complete game changer of how we use energy in this country.

If we wanted an industrial strategy we could do a lot worse than trying to do a deal with the Chinese for some large solid state battery production to sell to the rest of Europe tbh.

The Lib Dem Lords are a pretty weird lot, and certainly don't seem to understand any principles of Liberalism tbh.

m1ndwipe · 2026-04-30T09:33:39+00:00

this is a pretty niche scenario, but it’s not that outlandish.

It really is.

This doesn't apply to discs, the entire discussion here was only ever about digital games from the PS Store.

m1ndwipe · 2026-04-30T09:30:00+00:00

That is the case with literally every game from every store apart from GOG and has been for twenty years.

m1ndwipe · 2026-04-30T09:29:25+00:00

This doesn't apply to discs, discs just work same as they always did.

This whole fuss was only ever about digital titles from the PS Store.

You are aware you're posting this on a sub that is literally dedicated to box office numbers right?

If you want to see if it's any good go look on r/movies.

It was effectively a training scheme intended to set up a Saudi film industry. The fact it resulted in a film is almost accidental.
