I'm not sure what percentage of Playstation users are very uninformed and just want to play GTA 6. How much will this hurt PlayStation?

Which game do you like more?

I get way too angry. I’m a Marine veteran with stores of rage that I can mostly manage fairly well. But I TRULY dislike people as a general rule and competitive gaming and the toxic nature of it doesn’t help for my temperament. Especially since I do not like to lose. I’ll be having a just fine day, pop in Overwatch or nba2k and if I lose two or 3 in the row it’s full tilt. Especially 2k because if you play 2k you know how unfair it is. You have to basically consider it a second job to grind just to unlock the same badges every season, and it is nearly impossible to win without boosts, which you have to pay for. So when my badges don’t activate despite being maxed, or my screen randomly glitches every time I go for a jumper, I just get enraged. I don’t unleash it on the mic unless someone says something toxic to me first, but once they do, my mouth is just pure venom and vitriol.
So that being said, I’ve made the decision to stop. I love PvP in Elden Ring, which I have moderate to high success and I can play GTO and RDO and hold my own against any crew but I’m cutting it out cold turkey. All of it. Having a game put me in such a funk is not good for my health, longevity or quality of life. I’ve just installed Stellar Blade which I’ve been meaning to play, and maybe I’ll try Lies of P again, or replay Cyberpunk but I’ve got to put competitive games behind me for good.

Anyone find their quality of life improve after quitting?

Heya, I've been playing a bunch of games with friends as of recent late at night, the issue though is that my walls are paper thin and I disturb my family when doing so. What would be the best way to soundproof my external voice? Should I invest in sound suppression foam; or are there masks I can wear that would do the same. I'm not sure how to go about doing this so if you can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Before someone leaves a snarky comment, I don't scream and I always have my voice at a low volume; I somehow manage to make myself audible to my family anyways.

i have been wanting to get into a more longterm game i have been thinking about 3. WOW, path of exile 2, diablo 4. or maybe even the division 2 since it just got a mew update. i used to play destiny. now i mostly play like escape from duckov and things of that nature/racing games. but i want to get back into something like these. someone help me out here. poe2 is 30$ , d4 is i believe 70$ with the new expansion, and WOW is 50$ plus 15 monthly. the prices arent an issue. although i will probably play base game before i buy the more expensive stuff especially being d4 is on sale rn if i went that way. but dont want to get all 3.

So way back when I first got my 360 I had made an Xbox account and I had used my moms email to make it, I was like 10 and didn’t understand what the hell an email was at the time. Time goes by and I eventually switch to a ps4 because that’s what my grandparents got me for Christmas. Well I’m wanting to buy and Xbox series x for gears of war E day and gears 5. Just wondering if I’d be able to get my older account back from all those years ago with little to no information for the account, I have the original 360 I made the account on, I know with Sony if you have the original PlayStation the account was made on you could grab a serial number and go from there so I was wondering if Xbox was the same. And if they even have a number I can reach out too for this kind of thing.

Hello there!

Before I get flamed for it, yes, I am 30, Now that that's out of the way, I need to find fun games to get into. Lately, I've just been playing a lot of sports games. I play just about everything that's not RPG or MMORPG (Skyrim, Diablo, WoW for refference). I LOVE a great storyline, but those style of games just don't do it for me. Help an old gamer out? Open to answer any questions.

I PLAY ON PS5
