Its official: Only PS4 will be backwards compatible on PS5.  :(

Still not officially official per my understanding - it came from Ubisoft, not Sony, but it's pretty close.  I just wish they'd rip the band-aid off already.

EDIT: And now Ubisoft has scrubbed the statement from their post.

As I get older, I’ve realized there’s 2 real problems that come along with being an adult and gaming.

1) You have less time to play games.
2) You have money to buy all the games you want.

I used to spend time in stores just looking at games and wishing I could buy them. Now, I just look at all the games I’ve bought a wish I could play them.

I feel you, I'm in the same boat. I have amassed a huge backlog only to stare at it from time to time. I keep telling myself that all those games will be waiting for me during my retirement after my child has grown up. That's a really long time too.

I only play games on my Switch now since it's the easiest to pick and play during breaks when I have the time.

It's hard to raise a child and especially more than one child, I give you a thumbs up I don't think I could handle having a child to raise and also going to work everyday

the first 5 years of babysitting I could never do that and work with my mental health

Hey turf, remember this?

I’m going to try something that I have never done since somewhere around 1985. I’m going to try not to buy any new games in 2020. This doesn’t count gifts for others or stuff I’ve already preordered.

I have a huge backlog of really good games that are going to get lost if I don’t play them.

I’m not asking anyone to do this with me, but I’ll probably need some support.


I know your every move behind this face; I have control over expendable slaves.
When confrontation comes down to the wire, I'll use my cyclotrode to commence the fire.
You're never gonna get me!

Yeah. That lasted for about a month.

Well, I think that should count for something. At least you tried.

Can you believe no one made a Mario 35th Anniversary Direct thread. Did you people see it?

I've almost made a thread a couple of times, but it just didn't feel big enough to warrant one.  3D All Stars is a big deal, but almost everything just felt kind of inevitable.

I’m digging the Game & Watch. It’ll be hell to get one, but it will be mine.

Yeah, outside of 3D All-Stars that is my #1 want.

Anyone else been seeing the the memes about how Nintendo didn't improve anything in Super Mario 64?

I find it funny how people don't seem to understand the difference between a remaster and a compilation.
