If you mean the player character, she hasn’t been so far.

I thought the player character was a faceless dude anyway.

It’s usually Ichiro Ogami, who was made the girls commander because though they have crazy magic powers and have been fighting demons for a long time they have no teamwork because they’re girls or something.

So I bought a PS Pro and am selling my old PS4 to a friend, we are attempting to swap the hard drives and I know that I have download the new install OS file but when we try to use it on the drive that came from the new PS Pro in the old system it says it can’t find an update file 5.53 or newer. Do you guys have any experience or suggestions with this?

You need to do a fresh install. Format your USB drive as FAT32, create a folder named "PS4" on that drive, another folder called "update" inside that one and place the PS4UPDATE.PUP (full version, not the update version from the top of the site https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/system-updates/ps4/#newinstallation) inside that one.

Rad Valtar posted:

Yeah we figured it out, Sony released 5.53-01 as we were trying this and it wasn’t yet available to download but the system wanted it but it was physically impossible to get it yet.

Are you sure you didn't simply download the update file instead of the fresh install file or had your USB drive formatted the wrong way? But 5.53-01 is now available on the linked website.

Eh I made my own.

I think there are maybe ten licensed tracks on it I like. The original music from Burnout 1-3 is fine enough and while I like a lot of the classical tracks they don't really get me pumped about driving 200mph and smashing my rivals off the road.

Though showtime crash mode to Moonlight Sonata could be pretty fun.

I've been working through my backlog to try to stop myself from spending money on God of War this month even though I really want to, and I've been playing Tomb Raider. I had forgotten how insanely fun it was. I remember not really agreeing people with it about the combat being more fun than Uncharted's, but with some hindsight I'm really having more fun shooting dudes in this than I did in any of the Uncharted games. it's a shame I missed Rise on sale last week because even though I hear it's not amazing I wouldn't mind steamrolling it and ignoring collectibles just to see what kind of crazy-rear end spectacle they come up with.

Edit: I also beat Resident Evil 7 which I thought was really good too. It's the only thing besides Wipeout that made me wish I had VR because apparently I want to die early.

As far as I know the term became popularized with WH40k: Dawn of War and indicated when two units fighting each other would go into a synchronized kill sequence. Nowadays I think it just means any pre-scripted, uninterruptible kill animation.

She has been dealing with Lyme disease for the past two years, which is one of those things that should encourage people to not go outside and instead play video games

It looks like she actually has a new album coming soon

Sorry, it was a joke referring to one of the weirder internet conspiracy theories out there. Google the Avril Lavigne body double theory sometime for some interesting reading.
