For those already owning one - try setting up pihole or an equivalent. Sony could be serving ads from a domain used by something like a cdn, but I bet they don’t.

MrScottyTay,

It’s not an ad per se. They’re replacing the key art and game logo with the picture and title of the latest news post for the game you’re on.

I’m so glad I quit consoles. Now I’m just rooting for steam to get every game running perfectly in linux so we don’t have to deal with Windows either.

daggermoon,

Still have to deal with DRM and not owning your games

Ironic.

It was only a matter of time.

This is satire right?

Every single day that goes by, I am so glad I didn’t waste my money on a PS5 or Xbox Series. PS4 was my last hurrah with Sony, and the 360 was the last hurrah with Microsoft. If Nintendo pulls this same crap with the Switch 2, I’ll be PC exclusively.

nul9o9,

My PS5 is really just a Demons Souls Remake machine.

frigidaphelion,

For real, this was 85% of the reason I caved lmao. The other 15% was that I was presented with the opportunity to purchase one at a time when that was rare so I said fuck it

You can play Nintendo games on PC, with the added bonus of not giving money to that ghoulish company.

I played BotW and TotK on my PC, and let me tell you friend, with the increased frame rate, and the ability to run reshade, it looks and feels better than ever.

barnaclebutt,

Also, tinfoil and ghost shop is pretty cool if you have a hacked switch.

Man it is never enough with these greedy fucking assholes. I don’t even own one and I’m mad about this… It’s with everything lately… Soon we’ll have ads in our fucking dreams like Futurama…

“But not in our dreams!”

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Ugh the constan dream ad reruns

trying to get back in a nightmare to avoid seeing puppymonkeybaby again

Cannabis will be sold as a way to escape the constant dreamvertising.

Asafum,

I can’t even smoke anymore… Stupid anxiety… THC triggers panic attacks and I’ve finally gotten to the point where even if my bowl is 90% CBD it still gets me…

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Not to get all serious n shit but as a fellow sufferer i hope you’re getting your anxiety treated. I didnt listen to my friends when they told me it progressively gets worse and kept gutting it out until i was non-functioning and had to get a pro to get me back on my feet.

None of my biz just hope you’re taking care of yourself

Asafum,

I appreciate the concern!

I have to try again I suppose. I kinda gave up after every med I tried turned me into a zombie and made work really difficult because all I wanted to do was sleep. CBD really helps stop a panic attack, but the majority of my father’s side of the family has anxiety issues so I think my brain is just broken lol

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Never know, you could have undiagnosed adhd which when untreated for a lifetime manifests as anxiety and depression. Like me. Or it could be something different.

It might take you a bit to find it but that’s normal. Those friends of mine warned me it often takes time to find the right mix so you’re not unusual… Just prepare in advance to keep sloggin’ until something hits. It will, but it will take more time than you’d like. I wish i had a better sales pitch.

Finally don’t consider your genes or brain broken, that’s just our brain doin’ the same ol’ self-hate as usual but with extra stolen labcoat to slip our defenses

Asafum,

you could have undiagnosed adhd which when untreated for a lifetime manifests as anxiety and depression.

I see all the adhd memes and comments that usually makes me feel like “hmm maybe I do have this” but I also see a bunch of people saying “we all think that even if we don’t have it” lol thanks again for the concern!

Rai,

I had to look up what puppymonkeybaby is, thinking “am I too young for his”

Tommy horror, I am now too old for this.

Crazy stuff… Ads everywhere. Makes my choice to not buy any console this generation seem a lot better. It saved me money and I don’t get ads forced on me. I call that a win win.

PunchingWood,

I still enjoy my PS5 for a few exclusives I play on it. But damn I’m getting very much triggered to just go back to exclusively PC gaming.

mesamunefire,

Is steam deck a console? From this gen?

Either way it’s pretty good. You don’t even need to run their os if you don’t want to.

rtxn,

At this point, the distinction between console and PC comes down to the corporate side. The PS4 and PS5 operating systems are based on a BSD (probably FreeBSD but not sure), and are capable of running a desktop OS (as long as hackers find a way to bypass Sony’s locked-down firmware). XBox One and Series use a Windows-based OS, also locked down by Microsoft to only run the applications they want.

Everything about the Steam Deck is designed with gaming in mind, but in terms of capabilities, it’s no different from a PC. You could hook it up to a USB-C dock and use it for work. I’d sooner call it a handheld PC than a console.

mesamunefire,

That’s neat! I knew about the bsd origins but I didn’t know they allow other oses now.

I have not ironically used the steam deck for amateur satellite tracking before. Its more suited for that purpose than a laptop in the field lol.

rtxn,

they allow other oses now

They don’t. It’s the same category as jailbreaking an iPhone: possible, legal, might brick your console, Sony hates it.

mesamunefire,

Well that sucks NVM.

RampantParanoia2365,

I’ve used mine more as a PC than console. Love the OS, it’s basically Windows without any of MS’s bullshit.

Tarogar,

I would argue that it’s a handheld PC since it’s not locked down to heck and back. It would also be the one thing I would buy but I have no use case for it so I don’t.

tal,
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah, same. If I were going to get a handheld console, it’s pretty much exactly what I’d want, but…I really don’t need another portable computing device.

Shame on console

secret300, do games w PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off

There is no reason to get a console. sure they can be a bit more convenient but all the negatives are much worse than any of the positives

This isn’t actually ads, just the news tab being brought up front, on steam it would be the top row in your library if you didn’t remove it, it’s a good idea with terrible execution, everytime I see an update over there I go check out the game.

aStonedSanta,

Interesting. This makes more sense. Curious to see what we hear going forward.

celsiustimeline,

There’s a full screen advertisment for Spiderman Across the Spiderverse when the person is trying to play Spiderman Miles Morales.

stankmut, (edited )

The poorly designed feature itself isn’t about showing ads, it’s just showing the top item of the news feed. The news feed can have ads, depending on what the developer publishes to it, which is why I never scroll down to that section.
