PS4 Fightsticks (including Hitbox) do not work on PS5 native games (yet)! Remember to download the PS4 version! (you can hit Options > Game version to select what version you want to launch/download)

Me: Gets unsolicited call from admissions
Me: Looks up GA and decides to give them a shot; Schedules interview later that day
Them: Does not call until more than 12 hours after scheduled time, when I'm busy.
Me: Decides to try and officially apply, hoping that it will smooth the process out
Them: Calls again during lunch
Me: Attempts to nail down a time in which both parties are ready to properly communicate
Them: Accepts the time
Me: At the accepted time, notes that they're almost half an hour late
Them: Calls, notes a "discrepancy" from my deep voice and feminine name, nearly hangs up
Me: Confirms my identity before they get a chance, is routed to the actual Admissions Officer
Them: "Sorry, I'm not available right now, can we schedule for next week?"
Me: "Okay" 🙃

'Been watching Bojack Horseman. Got to the episode that asks the question: How do you depict intrusive thoughts?

Fuckin' oooooofff it's an accurate and difficult watch.

Very patiently waiting for certain queer content creators to apologize for promoting known anti-queer propaganda now that the literal actual receipts have been collected.

Waiting *very* patiently

:3 *vibrates*

Wolf what's wrong with your neck!?

It's called empathy m'dude.

Gotta vent/gripe about people on twitter complaining about 'rollback heads': The issue is that we want good netcode, and the only known implementation of good netcode was rollback, so that's what was asked for. It's not about blindly asking for rollback, it's that it was literally the only option for consistency.

This is why we need ping, instead of bars, to communicate connection stability

Thinkin' about putting a big "Honorary PS4" plaque on my PS5 when locals start being a thing, since most arcade stick boards don't work for PS5 native games, and I'll be (attempting to) running Strive in PS4 mode exclusively until Sony fixes their shit

I'm so fucking happy Virtua Fighter is back!

Like... I'm kind of shocked this release is going as well as it is so far, considering the lack of communication regarding netplay. Was seriously thinking this game was only going to succeed because of the PS+ promotion on launch, but now I think it can have some serious legs, and might be the catalyst for a VF6

There are anecdotes of folks playing from the US East Coast to the US West Coast with no problems! While we know nothing about how this new title handles their netcode, it's looking like it's better than a lot of non-rollback titles!

Virtua Fighter is available right now on JPN PSN! And I got a few matches in: Wait times aren't bad, haven't noticed any issues in-match.

Minor gripe: Ranked displays 'connection' in the vague bar format that SFV and T7 uses (instead of just giving you the ping), so I don't know how far away any of my matches have been.

Ranked has the SFV feature of offering a Bo3 match that you can opt-out of. And cool 'E-sports' feature of having random online matches play while you idle in the main menu.

Can't find any option to view replays, which would suck if missing entirely.
