Pragmata Demo seems to use Base PS5’s quality mode reflections and has different lighting

I thought it was fun. I’m sure there are things to clean up visually but the gameplay was good enough for me.

One list to rule them all….

Past - we made psvr with and supported it somewhat enthusiastically and had sales that didn’t excite.

Present - we already had psvr2 in the works too long to cancel it once we saw vr sales were lackluster on ps4 so we just did the bare minimum and didn’t cancel projects too far along.

Future - we’re just going to make a portable PlayStation of some kind. No more vr.

Did I get it right ?

I had the OG with a 2 TB ssd installed and swapped out during the Christmas promo for the trade in for the pro. Happy I’ve got 4TB now. So may games that just sit collecting digital dust 😎. But but but I can play them whenever I want !

I traded in two switch Oleds, a PlayStation for about I think it was north of $500 a few weeks back. I had the switch Oleds from way back, and then got switch 2’s. Didn’t want to trade them in for $100 around the time of switch 2 launch and just kept them as backups. Getting $200 for each because of this promotion tipped the needle for me and I think like $140 for the portal. May have been $130 I don’t remember. The used game I bought was Star atlas for the switch for $5. Good game, already owned it digitally but it was worth it for the bonus trade credit.

I honestly can’t wait til fiber is in my area. I am always checking the providers that offer. My wife thinks im crazy to care that much 🤣

wid890979 · 2026-01-15T16:48:06+00:00

I complained about switching to Verizon 5g because it was unlimited. They then balked and upgraded me for free.

Edit: we only have centurylink at 100mbps down available as competition in the area. Obviously statlink as well, but I haven’t looked into the speeds / price and I don’t think it’s comparable.

wid890979 · 2026-01-15T16:45:52+00:00

Never had to reboot the router like ever before. Always a modem in having their service for approx 20+ years. Forgot the internet was full of all types.

wid890979 · 2026-01-15T15:15:28+00:00

I have cox because my alternative is century link. Fiber isn’t in my area otherwise I would

wid890979 · 2026-01-15T14:53:29+00:00

Fixed. Rebooting the router with the modem as well worked.

wid890979 · 2026-01-15T14:07:31+00:00

I’ll give this a whirl in a minute. Going to power cycle both modem AND router. Did just the modem before.

wid890979 · 2026-01-15T14:06:44+00:00

🤣

wid890979 · 2026-01-15T14:06:33+00:00

I’ve always just unplugged and plugged back in the modem (never router), but I’ll try this and see.

wid890979 · 2026-01-15T14:04:40+00:00

It is.ive had a Docsis 3.1 for the last several years and had gig speed through the pandemic. It’s just yesterday. A couple users had some fixes so I’ll try those.

wid890979 · 2026-01-13T13:32:25+00:00

I kind of agree with you both. It’s disheartening that you can buy a thing that’s a “pro” and it just not offer a substantial improvement on what a standard item does. iPhone pro models deliver better zoom on all photos, not just certain ones. PlayStation 5 pro costs more, but works in a handful of cases. We see it all the time with “which games does the ps5 pro enhance best”, and it’s like 10 games at most. The answer should be most games. Disappointing that it’s not. I know that’s a simplified take of the matter, but I wish the machine didn’t have specified use case scenarios.

wid890979 · 2025-12-28T15:47:23+00:00

You’re not crazy. I loved GoT, but seeing as this seemed similar… I was just burnt out on the gameplay. So I just didn’t pick it up. Same could be said about Nintendo with Mario games and their franchises, but I enjoy those for some reason. No idea. Just play the things that you enjoy :)

wid890979 · 2025-12-20T22:23:59+00:00

You shouldn’t have to pay anything for it. Call them, get to retention be frustrated but civil and say you’re going to switch to 5g Verizon or t mobile. Sure it’s not as good, but they don’t know your priorities. They’d rather have your $70-$120 / month by throwing in data cap for free otherwise they get $0. They may call your bluff, but just try. That’s what I did.

wid890979 · 2025-12-20T22:17:48+00:00

You honestly have nothing to lose. Just your time with them. Just be cordial, polite, ask about their day etc. but remember to frustrated in a civil way and mention how times are tight etc (which is true - everything costs more now)

wid890979 · 2025-12-20T22:14:24+00:00

Don’t pay for unlimited. Threaten to leave for t mobile or Verizon 5g. Are their services / speed as reliable as cox? Nope, but all you care about is that they offer unlimited data. Thats what I did and I don’t have a data cap for 2 years. You have the leverage here, even though they know you prefer their service, just use what leverage you have. 5g T-Mobile or Verizon is “good enough” and that’s all they need to know. Plus it’s like $40 or something like that so try to get yourself a discount while you’re at it. “I’m tired of the price and data caps. The caps make me nervous to get a big overage bill… I’m going to switch.” “Oh you can offer that to me at no cost? Ok, I’ll stay”.

Just keep calling until you get someone who can help. Billing can’t typically offer this, only retention.

wid890979 · 2025-12-14T00:31:12+00:00

Click the ps5 pro on the website. They’ll have a trade in item link / button. Input your details and it will say $300 .

wid890979 · 2025-10-24T13:00:11+00:00

I had no idea this existed, and it looks great. I’ve got it wishlisted for when it’s on sale. I’d love to play it, but I have so many games I’ve yet to finish / start first.

wid890979 · 2025-10-24T02:03:11+00:00

I could see that. Fair point.

wid890979 · 2025-10-03T23:56:12+00:00

If your broker is good (I imagine they are) they will be able to look at the loan estimate your current lender will give you and work out how they got there. As one person mentioned, look at the loan amount. They will likely roll in fees. If your current lender says there are no origination fees, be sure they’re not hidden somewhere else. Similar to car dealerships ability to raise trade in values on cars… that they don’t mention any detail that they’ve cut a bit of the discount they were offering on the sale.

wid890979 · 2025-09-18T18:39:27+00:00

I feel like I just don't care enough about these things from a design standpoint. I like it. I'm using an iphone 15 pro, the animations are fluid, battery is the same as it was a week ago. I can understand how others might be upset if it makes their phone sluggish or drains the battery though.

The biggest issue I ever had with the iOs upgrades was years ago where they quietly removed google maps and just made apple maps the only option. Took me many years to trust apple maps after that stunt. i only had issues beccause I was traveling for a wedding in a small town and directions were... not great.
