I think it's cool how this thread is now about the origin of a language.

I did this.

You are welcome.


All language derives from what we call North America. But was originally known as Orphir. It was founded by nimrod. Then he traveled to the Euphrates and built babel. We learn all this in the epic of Gilgamesh. Then the Greeks tried to claim language because they added vowels.
 
Why was it down, did they release an answer?

North America would have had vowels, but they couldn't afford to buy any.

Or was it?

We will never know.

FOr example. The hungarian language origins was found in pyramids in bosnia and in hungary and is 4000 year old. And this was discovered what 15 to 20 years ago?

Its all big mystery that i dont ever want to know cuz then you discover all the lies.

I Appreciate your comments. But it all started with you stating the spanish language originated in mexico.

It took someone having to fire up Forspoken for Sony to realize the extent of their fuck up ? Holy shit.

"Sir. We have a Forspoken alarm.. should we move to DEFECON 3 ?"

As someone who finished both, I can confidently say Forspoken > Starfield. Neither, is in any danger of winning GOTY, but both are worth a playthrough.

I challenge that theory, I think it's pretty common knowledge that all language actually originated from an ancient civilization known as Blorbia, located somewhere in what we now call the Bermuda Triangle.

The Blorbians invented communication by shouting different sounds while juggling coconuts. Over time, these sounds became more sophisticated, forming the first proto-language. When the Blorbian Empire mysteriously vanished survivors spread across the globe. The Egyptians turned Blorbian glyphs into hieroglyphs. The Phoenicians borrowed their alphabet but reversed it.

An external disc drive needing to be online synced with a specific console in order to work. Nuts.

At some point, gamepads will be too.
I don’t think that is likely. I think it’s a cost saving thing for PlayStation where the actual usage triggers an activation which then triggers them having to pay for the license & royalties on their side. There’s been something similar for years for playing blu-ray videos on both Xbox and PlayStation. With even higher connectivity, popularity of digital, digital only consoles and situations where people have disc drives but never touch them maybe they extended it so that they don’t have to pay the licenses/royalties for ones that never get used.

I think Im cooked, guys. My subscription is going to end after Black Friday now 💀💀💀
I'll happily take every Friday off for 5 free days! Sony knew what they were doing here though 😂 so many who tactically timed their dates are now fucked 😂

Fortunely my date will move to the 8th of October 2028 now so this is actually doing me a favour.

Do the plus deals only apply to those who are first time sign ups or returning members?

My friend was recently able to renew before his expiration date (add time basically) because PS+ was on sale, I haven't tried myself so not sure if it's a new thing for everyone or some offer just for him.

EDIT: I just tried on my PS5 it and it works. I went to the PS+ tab, went down to find my plan and upgrade options and when I selected My current plan it asked me if I wanted to add more by buying again. So potentially now we can renew when sales are happening so we don't miss out on the deal. Smart of Sony to do this, it's better to get some money than no money. Last year I let my sub lapse for 4 months while waiting for the next deal. That's money Sony lost, they're finally wising up.

Wrong. All European languages originated from Yakub after he made white people

Thanks so much for the explanation!

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Were people serious?
You could always extend your running sub at any point in time.
You can always extend, the problem is that sometimes they only offer the discounted prices when your subscription lapses, if you have an active subscription you do not get the discounted prices.

I had the same thing happen to me last year, only when my plus ended, it tarted showing me the discount for renewing extra. The discount wasn't offered for extending it.

I see, I didn't know that.

Have to admit I have never bought anything on a Black Friday deal in my life.
If I ever happened to buy a subscription with discount, it was by chance.

I will try this, hope it works.

So everyone was impacted but only ps+ people get the compensation (or whatever you want to call it). Pretty funny imo. They should do like a free plus weekend for the other folks or something.

Is gog the only service that doesn’t have these issues?

It's photoshop, isn't it obvious?
That's what I thought, but I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been true.
And that's exactly my point - so much garbage gets posted here that it's hard to distinguish real garbage from the negligible garbage.
The most obvious solution would be to simply include sources. And if that's not the case, I just have to dismiss posted screenshots without a source as nonsense and not pay any further attention to them.

Don't they do free MP weekends often?
I was without ps+ for a long time and was able to do MP in Elden Ring a few weekends.
