How do you hack a PS5? The account?

I'm sorry to hear about the hacking. It must have been so stressful for you all. Thanks for answering my question last week. I can't believe how many games John has!

On the one hand it's very stressful, on the other, at some point you accept that whether it's the hack itself or the process of restoring the channel, it's entirely out of your hands, so why worry. The biggest impact is an 18 hour gap in traffic. It looks to me like the algorithm flourishes on momentum which is a bit of a problem when you have zero views.

Thank you for discussing my question, really interesting and thought provoking. Admittedly, embarrassed by my English despite being British but you did managed to read it as intended!

Loved this weeks show. Would definitely like a series of them diving in to the ‘next’ gen 1yr on.

Thanks so much for answering my 60fps/120hz question! Looks like I will stick with 120hz for the latency benefit, plus the smaller impact of dropped frames is attractive as well. For reference, Vincent Teoh from HDTVTest has discussed the Dolby Vision 120hz posterisation issue in several videos, this one here has a good discussion during the Outriders section (including him theorising that it's due to HDMI bandwidth limitations), as well as further comments in the video conclusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blc5zsQ_ebw&t=269s

I hope that some of weta’s amazing performance capture technology makes its way to unity. If you could capture an actor’s performance in Unity at the level weta is able to do in films like planet of the apes, it would skyrocket the opportunities for performers in games.
