So, relaxing on my day off and playing on PS5 and finding out if you don't save at EVERY major point you can lose 3 hours of progress. Seems like an average middle school student would make a console that automatically saves your game every 15 minutes, but the thought didn't occur to PS5 engineers.

I know it seems minor among everything else but I don't want permanent reminders of US wannabe dictator in the White House. So Dem candidates should commit to destroying the ballroom AND restore the White House East Wing. The Arc also gone.

What a shame people on this site need to be blocked and reported for their posts and replies. Respectful disagreement is possible without insulting people. If a person makes a factual error that also can be corrected in a polite manner without insults or sarcasm. Moderators overwhelmed I guess.
