Tried to watch it. Best i could make out he was saying the rose tinted glasses are going back on for... reasons.
Having had to do that a few times in ED, i feel for you.
The parts I was awake for got interesting by hour 15 when he totally organically aquired a roleplayer's cargo, got a leg up by a bodyguard and by hour 16 successfully used persistence, streaming and physicalized cargo to stash the loot on a planet, swap ships, find the location again and load it all up. None of the physics glitches were fatal, the server held up and it was a complete, unscripted heist just as Chris foretold it. The life of a solo pirate is long but when it works, it works.

Yeah had it running in the background for a few hours and most of the bugs after that were mainly cosmetic. (Although they managed to get locked out of the vehicle spawning outpost, which is a new one on me. And various alpha oddities inserted themself, like the 'stealth' gravlev suddenly becoming absurdly loud
)With some org-ish backup, and a penchant for lying in long-grass, it all panned out. And he seems keen to lone-wolf it in future. (Although the guy will still need help. He was lost in Grim Hex for what felt like 20 minutes
)It is so not my idea of fun, in terms of all the long waits and lurking and such, but the sandbox PvP piracy thing does mainly function. (So long as your grassy knoll doesn't swallow you up
)---
(EDIT: Skimming over the last 10hrs or so looks like he got his fair share of crashes and curious deaths and such. Good to know all is well

New meme doing the rounds on reddit due to the Helldivers 2 outrage
Here is another example of the excelet star citizen piracy gameplay

Between the rootkit level DRM and the PSN debacle, Sony is really trying to kill their golden goose.New meme doing the rounds on reddit due to the Helldivers 2 outrage
Anyway, Squadron 54 will certainly be a PlayStation hit.

looks up news
There are no words… well, no words I can use on this forum…
tbf, apparently that was in the T&C right from the start. However, I really don't know why PS needs to know what PC players are doing.
Same as I've got, VKB Gladiator pro...still using the Warthog throttle with it though. I was raging when they charged me 40 quid import duty on it from the Netherlands...all due to the Brexit nonsense of course...I just ordered the Gladiator NXT "Space Cadet" (or whatever it's called) VKB stick yesterday.
Been using X52-Pro for about 8 years now, preceeded by TM Hotas X for the first 2 years of Elite. Thought it's about time I tried something new
For the extra dosh I could have ordered a Virpil gunfighter and paid zero import duty from their UK web store. VKB seriously need a UK sales outlet
Most of it is to stop Xbox ever releasing Helldivers 2 on Gamepass I suspect
I've got a PSN account for the PS5 anyway so I wasn't fussed in the slightest...strangely enough, I play Helldivers crossplay with my PC mates from my PS5 since the initial Steam launch refused to work with my AMD graphics card, took them a month to sort that out and by then I was already level 20 or so with my PS5 character (no cross platform saves).
I wonder if all those revolutionaries complaining about the compulsory PSN account for Helldivers ever complained about the same compulsory Xbox account requirement needed by Starfield...or the myriad of other titles that require Epic or Steam or EA or Ubisoft accounts to play. A linked PSN account was already a requirement to play all of the ported over PlayStation titles released on PC over the last couple of years...like The Last of Us, Days gone, Horizon Zero Dawn or Forbidden West...to mention but a few.
I've noticed that none of those erstwhile activists were bleating about any form of compulsion back then...
Storm over nothing at all as far as I can see...saying that, as a gamer with absolutely zero hardware platform bias, I honestly hope that Sony take a serious slap for their anti consumer and corporate driven anti gamer practises arising from this brouhaha... since at the end of it, I don't really care which piece of overly expensive plastic I play my games on as long as I'm free to play them on any platform of my choosing.
Games for the gamers I say

I never really understood what Frontier needed to know from me when I bought their game on Steam. There is Anno 1800 currently marketed on Steam. I bought it originally on Ubistore but Steam offers bundles now and I can't be bothered to check the Ubistore. But I also can't be bothered to open another Ubi Account or deal with the shenanigans of adding a second Anno 1800 to my existing account.
Frontiers shenanigans with their account and login hurdles also don't add to the my motivation to revisit their game. Steam link should be the only auth I need - everything else is just annoying or useless red tape. You want to sell a game then just sell the damn thing. If I'm not buying in your store then I'm not buying in your store and no crap you add to the requirements to use your product is gonna change that.
Okay, that’s not nearly as scummy. Though I’m not surprised about the outcry, because every T&C I’ve ever tried to read is so dense in dry and dull legalese that I hardly ever read them myself.
Sony should’ve had that requirement in the Steam version of the game right from the start.As an ED player that originally migrated my accounts from Xbox to PC...losing all my Xbox benefits in the process to play the same game on exactly the same Frontier account...like my Cobra 4, my Xbox GPP badge and starting a new account with loads of cash but nothing else...with the exception of my fuel rat membership and badge for my ships strangely enough... I could never realistically understand why my Xbox ED player account couldn't just have been transferred over direct with zero penalties...very strange.Okay, that’s not nearly as scummy. Though I’m not surprised about the outcry, because every T&C I’ve ever tried to read is so dense in dry and dull legalese that I hardly ever read them myself.
Anyway, Sony are seriously stepping in to stop Helldivers ever coming to Xbox is what all this recent hubbub is about...I can't really lay fault at the developers of Helldivers 2 door for that one, it's solely a root decision from Sony and surely as frustrating for those developers as it is for those of us who love the game regardless of corporate platform wars.
Like I said, a compulsory linking of an active PSN account was also in the T's & C's for every other PS title released on Steam or Epic from the getgo...without exception. Helldivers 2 is only suffering this nonsense because of it's insane popularity with PS5 and PC players alike...I will add that among PS5 players in general, there's been lobbying of Sony from it's initial PS5/PC crossplay release for it to be released on Xbox too.

As I heard it was deactivated for the initial rush to provide more server capacity / stability. Usually when I visit Steam there is blue text disclaimer when something requires additional auth and 3rd party accounts and then I just continue browsing something else. I don't remember if they had that disclaimer at launch - I had brief look: It looked interesting and then I found out the game was console and is also console now and that it just like blue disclaimer for me - platform shenanigans is nothing I need.Okay, that’s not nearly as scummy.

Not the case, I bought the game initially on Steam and had to link my PSN and Steam accounts to play right from the start. Like I said, Helldivers initially crashed my PC every time I fired it up so I switched over to playing on PS5 via my already linked PSN and Steam accounts, wrongly assuming there would eventually be cross-platform saves (like Starfield) should I wish to go back to playing on PC...sadly, so far the cross-platform saves havent materialised.

I ordered it to Poland to my parents place. Going there in couple of weeks. I'm praying for the next shipment not to be late, because it's on a backorder so I can totally miss it if it's lateSame as I've got, VKB Gladiator pro...still using the Warthog throttle with it though. I was raging when they charged me 40 quid import duty on it from the Netherlands...all due to the Brexit nonsense of course...

I made a conscious decision not to buy Virpil, even though I really wanted to, because the money ultimately goes to Belarus and they openly and actively support "you know who". Same reason I don't play and promote Escape From Tarkov. (No politics though, so let's just stop there).
