I followed a bunch of Twitter accounts that updated you when drops were imminents/happening; they seemed to be on the ball but the PS5s would still often sell out within minutes. Got one at Target several months back since they were in-store only and one out-of-way location in my city had a few in stock even ~20 minutes after it was posted.
I gave up in March. Knowing it would be a year before the chip shortage was done. Just bought one on eBay.
So glad I am not sweating a PS5 again this year. I think I have PTSD from it.
I am constantly telling my wife “I need to see if anyone on UP knows.”

Oh man, Darkest Dungeon 2 looks absolutely gorgeous so far.
couple newb questions if anyone wanted to help.
Are you able to pre-order Starfield somehow now? Is there a good reason not to if you could or when you can?
How likely would a pushback on the release date be?
Never pre order

Fallout 76
Countless others.

I’d say you can pre-order single player games that aren’t meant for online, but those are very rare.
FYP
Darkest Dungeon 2 is shaping up to be a complete disaster, despite my high hopes. So much of the gameplay that made the first one a unique management simulator has been gutted. Artwork is still incredible. It’s still in early access, but I don’t see how this game recovers its footing. good news is that it’s made me thirsty to the original masterpiece that was Darkest Dungeon.
Inscryption is GOTY so far. I watched forsen play it at launch and he was high af or something, he had no idea what he was doing. Marvellous.
The slate review says if you have even the tiniest inkling you might play it at some point to not read any reviews out there.
Im gonna take that advice and go as blindly into it as I can
Looks like it’s PC only. On Steam there appears to be a demo you can try.
looks like his previous games are all pc only too so guess I’ll pick this up for that
Like 4 hours into Inscryption its uh pretty cool I guess but don’t think there’s much game here? The card game is pretty simple. Made it to 4th boss. Then I guess it goes crazy?
Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV probably not coming out until 2023 now. In an earnings call, Blizzard said they are pushing them back and that they won’t generate the income in 2022 that was previously expected. It was vague, but sounds like they won’t be released next year.
In other Blizzard news, I’m really annoyed with them. A while back, I let dlk9s jr. use my cell number on his account because some game required it for security. The account was in my name, too, because at his age, I didn’t need him to have his own accounts just yet. So whatever, I was a decent dad and gave him the ability to play the game.
Fast forward to a few months ago and he wanted to play COD Warzone with me, but Warzone requires a cell phone to be linked to the account. I put mine on my account, but of course, it was linked to my son’s, so no go. I deleted it from his account and put my wife’s number on it, but no go. Now he has his own phone, so I figured he could use his and I could use mine. Nope.
I e-mailed Blizzard (and not that it matters, but I have like 1,400-1,500 hours on Overwatch, so I’m a loyal player) and asked if they could reset the contact info on our accounts so I could get the correct mobile numbers attachedm but they said no can do. Because my phone number was used on a Blizzard account at some point in human history, it is burned. I can’t attach it to my own account. The solution: pay $60 for Warzone instead of being able to play it for free like almost everybody else can.
lol
Yeah - it’s fine but don’t get the hype. I also don’t get the whole don’t read reviews - there wasn’t much to be spoiled - most of the puzzles were pretty easy to solve.
Also, Act II is annoying with the different graphic style and just super easy. Act III is ok so far.
Overall it makes me want to play more STS.
