Yep! 175gb for a single player game right out of the gate.

Granted, I think most of the size comes from 4K textures, maybe? It really is a good looking game though.

I bought this game a day or two after release, and it wouldn’t even go into the main menu without connecting my account.

The story goes like this.

I buy the game, download and install a 175gb game, and get excited when it’s finally done. I start the game. Get more excited. BOOM. The first prompt I see says PSN account required. The ONLY fucking options I have are to sign in with the account, or fuck off and quit the game. I try to find a mod (this one didn’t exist just yet, more on that in a moment!) and find nothing. I try to change my region via VPN, and still get this prompt. Okay, I’ll use an old account I used on my old PS3 (I really love the new God of War games, so I do want to support and play them). I go to log in, and it says my password is wrong, okay. I go to the PS website and try to do a password reset. The fucking email never came though. I tried a few more times, probably for an entire hour guys, and nowhere in my email boxes was this password reset email. I then uninstall the game, leave a bad review, and then refund the game. I got a pirate copy, let it download, install, scan scan scan, and BAM! I boot the game up, and it’s at the main menu in no time. Played for quite a few hours and loved it.

The mod came out TWO HOURS after I had gotten my refund. I will not be making another purchase of the game, that’s for sure.

Needless to say, if you are like me and tried to be the Good Samaritan by purchasing the product, well, pirate it. It played as it should have when I bought the fucking thing legally. Fuck Sony and their numerous security breaches, fuck Sony and their stupid ass shareholders, and fuck Sony specifically because they thought this was a good idea.

I think it just depends on your body.

Worked night shift most of my life until recently, and never had any issues with it. Actually miss the emptiness of the roads and how little was going on while I was working.

I had to move to days a few times since the factory was closing night shift near Christmas time, and worked that no problem either.

Working days seems to drain me more so than any night shift position ever did. And I’m working an easier job now! It’s quite wild honestly.

If you have been doing it for a decade, then surely you’ve noticed the drop in active crackers…?

There’s not a lot of brave souls doing this as a passionate hobby any longer. Now it’s for the clout, to inject malware, or to receive monetary donations. Or all three!

I hope I am wrong, and we can get back to the passionate hobby, but it’s looking kinda grim from my point of view.

I was such a HUGE fan of Floorp until I saw the main dev behind it talk about how they wanted to start looking into ways to “monetize” the browser. Just really turned me off and I went back to Firefox.

Needless to say, this looks AWESOME, and I hope that more people find it and try it out. (After the early bugs are ironed out, of course).

Good job devs!
