I'll take the same approach to Playstation All-Stars as I do with my Playstation branded credit card. Every 6 months or so I'll see how many points have stacked up and just buy as many PSN mickymouse bucks as I can.

I had to turn it off because it kept powering on/off my PS5 when I didn't want it to.

Mine doesn't power off stuff. It sends a standby or power-down signal which is what electronics like PS5's and whatever want in order to go to sleep/stand-by mode rather than to have a cord yank.

I'm sort of curious about the Playstation Stars thing, since I got an email for it earlier today. The 'digital collectables' doesn't sounds all that interesting, but earning points for PSN credit could be kind of nice. Then again, it depends on how the 'campaigns' are handled. Sounds like you can only get it through the Playstation app, which I don't have.

That makes sense. Could have been user error or reflex stupidity when trying to turn it off after accidentally turning it on, which was honestly the bigger annoyance. I know you can circumvent by using the Netflix button or something but I always forget and hit the big red power button.

Buying multiplats on Switch that aren't small portable-friendly indie games is a laughable affair. Every now and then, I'll go try one one of the big games that gets plopped on Switch and they all run and look like poop with insane screen tearing or are streaming and play like poop. Nintendo consoles, as always, remains for first/second party exclusives, picross, and small games. Though now that I have a steam deck, I don't even do small games on the switch anymore so it's really gathering dust.

She knew what she was getting when we got married. It helps that she has her own geeky hobbies so it doesn't bother her much. I've considered getting a travel card instead to get miles instead for cheap travel but after a couple of our friends got screwed on miles a few years back, I've been hesitant.

I had high expectations from the Steam Deck but it’s exceeded literally all of them. What you get for the price is just nuts. I almost can’t justify owning my PC anymore because I’ve stopped using it entirely. Steam OS is the poo poo. It’s so good.

I am looking forward to getting my Steam Deck next week! I do think though that it’ll quickly start to show its age in the next year or so with at least AAA video games, unless developers start to really get creative with optimization for it. Which may very well happen because of how popular the device is. But its hardware can only go so far, although much much further than the Switch, and that gets virtually every game under the sun for it, no matter how piss poor the port is.

I’m going to primarily be using the Steam Deck for retro game emulation, and I am excited.

That's right. I remember now. First party titles on Switch don't seem to get much of price cut, and stock of physical copies (at least on Amazon) is always a crapshoot. Bayonetta 2 like $70 for a physical copy.

Imo Always go physical with switch cause you can sell the game for like 35-50 bux after you get bored of it. Also you don’t have to worry about SD card space.

True. Maybe I can shop on eBay for better prices.

To try and bring things back around to the PS5, do there exist themes for the PS5 dashboard? When I have it open, the ambient (?) music starts to get annoying, and I remember PS3 and PS4 had a lot of themes for the console. I don't remember seeing anything for PS5 when I first got it (around the start of this year), but was there an update that added them in?
