Yeah I like the remote, I got a lot of use out of the xbox 360 one, and I missed having one on the PS4. It's solidly made and the volume controls work on my tv. The days of waking up the controller every time you want to pause the thing you are watching are gone.

Wish you could change the app buttons though.

I'd say it's worth it just for not accidentally fast-forwarding when you set down the drat controller :argh:.

And definitely agree about the app buttons. If someone came up with a third-party one that somehow had programmable app buttons I'd swap to it in a heartbeat.

If you’re passing it through a receiver or any other kind of intermediate hardware poo poo you’ll need one for the equipment -> tv side of things too.

Some, but apparently they have hardware issues.

The cable issue for the majority of people isn’t a 2.1 thing, it’s a 4k60 thing.

Be sure that when you first set up your ps5 and get the firmware updates you update your HDMI cable’s firmware too.

This is what i did, the new hdmi firmware made ragnarok run at a locked 60 and it owns. They really outdid themselves. The loving odin slap fest no longer hangs either. Also, i gotta say, loving the box art they went with, digital owners are really missing out



Really gonna take my mind off this nanocurse crisis thats for sure, just hope my plugs are safe at least.

I'm definitely super curious about this game at this point , but I feel like shooting for the $70 price tag is going to bump the expectations up unreasonably high for something that looks like a Housemarque twin stick shooter reimagined as an 3ps. I hope they knock it out of the park though.

So FedEx said they would be here between 8:45 and 12:45. I opened the blinds and pretty much sat in front of the window.

9:35 You package has been delivered.


I go outside and look down the street and see a FedEx truck. It never came to my street. I try to tell them to stop, and the driver sees me about half a block away and runs and jumps in the truck and drives off. Still pretending like he doesn't hearing me SCREAMING, "Sir?! Hey, sir!" waving my loving hands and running in the street chasing him.
At the next stop they make, I see there's another guy in the truck. He's putting packages to the front of the truck. I see a Wal-Mart box.

Me: Hello, I have the FedEx app it says you delivered a package? I didn't sign for anything.
Driver 2: Wtf Driver 1 you didn't get him to sign!
Driver 1: (we have quite a few people here from some African countries, and it's clear this man is a temp and barely speaks english. He is the one humping packages while the other guy drives.) *Looks up scared and confused*
Driver 2: Uhh wait no I signed for that. Yeah I signed for it.
Me: I have been waiting. You didn't even go on my street?
Driver 2: Ohh I know what happened. *Winks?* I'm on the way now I got you.

I take out my camera and take a picture of the plate of the delivery truck. I start to walk home. He passes me on the way and says, "Hey we good?" I shrug, "Yeah?"... He goes, "You want me to... drop it off at your house?" (like they are supposed to do) I say, "You can give it to me right here." He winks and smiles and says, "It's got a little weight to it, I'll drop it off for you."

I circle back around to my block, and I Driver 1 drop a package off at my doorstep. I flag down the driver on their way out.

Me: "So you never came to my street, and signed for the package, and still had it on the truck, yeah?"
Driver 2: *starts to stammer a response*
Me: "And you have NO IDEA what's in it!"
Driver 2: "n-no.."
Me: "Thanks guys." *loving walks off*

I called and complained, too. I'm sorry but how does:

- You never made it to my street.
- You signed my name incorrectly.
- It's no on the wrong doorstep, it's still on your truck.

I had a Fedex delivery say someone signed when my relative was in the hospital and no one was home and the name on the signature was something ridiculous like George Malorge. This was Friday. I wonder how they are going to deal with this if at all.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Just wondering, but do any of you folks ever consider calling the police about this and reporting it as the attempted theft that it is? It's not like they're going to stop trying to steal people's packages if mildly annoyed grumbling is all that ever comes of it even when someone literally catches them in the act and has to chase them down to retrieve their property.

E: I will follow-up on the FedEx thing. They said they would call me back today. I gave the plate number, the full report, full disclosure of what everything was and ... if there was any doubt in my mind this was an honest mistake I'd let it ride. The FedEx hotline has no way to speak with a customer rep without first picking from an option, and no option is complaint, or theft, or about a delivery driver, or anything. It took a long time to get through to them.

Yea, you have to do the normal steps first unfortunately. Let them try and find the package, talk to the driver and then after they say it's gone you have to demand and investigation into the signature (if there was one) and other things. Usually it's a he said she said situation and sucks. We put way too much faith into these crappy delivery companies.

All delivery companies are waiving signature requirements and having drivers sign for packages right now to minimize exposure. That in and of itself is not suspicious. It should still be left in a relatively safe location.

Also I made it clear that the other dude probably had no idea what was happening. He was just busting his loving back for X-Mas money probably, and would probably rather steal a bottle of loving gatorade then try to hustle anything. This dude was mad loving tired.
