    Jesus turning that off straight away. My 3 year old doesn't even know my PS5 exists and i want to keep it that way for a while. Was a close one when she heard the beep coming from the tv unit "WHAT'S THAAAAAT!?" You Bollox Sony. Handy function though if you're not trying to hide your console.

    The new software update has enabled a setting called HDMI device link and this is causing the PS5 to boot up when TV is powered on. Can be disabled in settings menu.

    Weirdly this happened/worked for my TV before the update, and now it doesn't.

    Don’t know if the right place for this question, but said I’d ask as I’m getting an info dump when I Google it.

    I want to stream a few games of NBA2K21 from the PS5 to Twitch, it’s just a bit of laugh between work mates viewing two of us battling it out.

    I’ve managed to get the voice / chat audio onto the stream, but the game audio is still missing from it.

    Note I’m using the Pulse headset so don’t know if this has an effect?

    Anyone a solution to getting both voice and game audio into the stream?

    Thanks

    My two year old niece recently discovered my PS5 and the Spyro trilogy. She always wants "dinosaur" when she comes for a visit all month :(

    I'm so blessed to have had a dad who let me play his games at a young age.

    I'm so blessed to not have kids ;-)

    My 2yr old is always trying to get one of the controllers but luckily hasn't figured out how to turn the console on. The other older 2 love astro and sackboy, I'm delighted and amazed at the games my kids will get to play compared to what I had at their age.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,406 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    I can't remember what age i was but i remember Little Computer People as one of my first games on the C64. Already comparing that to the games my kids plays on her tablet is mind-blowing. I've being adding all the kid friendly games on ps plus over the last few years with her in mind also. My niece's still make fun of me when i show them old Mario compared to their new ones but you gotta keep the retro games going!

    I am enjoying my PS5 as the last thing i get to keep to myself for a little while yet but not sure how much longer it'll just be 'mine'. She has plenty games on her tablet and she is far from deprived :). Also, that's just the way I do things. I'd never dream of passing judgement on anyone elses parenting as that's a total d1ck move.

    Actually, i remember there was a 'Gaming Dad' thread from a few years back that would be good to revive but obviously make it a 'Gamer Parent' one instead.

    I apologise. I've no doubt that you're a good dad and uncle. It's just that I've read loads of stories of fathers trying to hide gaming away from their daughters for seemingly no reason other than for the sake of it and wrongly put you in that category. I'm sorry.
    Of course when you're a parent you need as much 'me time' as you can get so it's understandable that when you do get that chance that you actually... get that chance, and not have to fight your little ones for it in the limited time you have.

    I come across a lot of judgemental parents so ready to defend myself as even though I'm winging it, I'm killing it at parenting :pac: I can't wait to have my little missus be my player 2 but at the moment the telly is only on a couple of times a day as she's mostly outside playing with bugs and i know as soon as she gets a taste of proper gaming, that'll change so trying to hold onto her love of outdoors for a bit longer. When she's ready, shell have everything she needs to be a proper gamer, i just hope she doesn't fall for whatever Fortnite Bollox is out at that time but i can only guide her towards the Outer Wilds like goodness, then the path will be hers to take.

    Can't remember what settings I have on my PS5 since the update, but the PS5 doesn't turn on when I turn on my TV. On the other hand, if I turn on my PS5 while the TV is turned off, it will also turn on the TV and go to the input for the PS5 - so that seems fairly handy.

    I'm in same boat Zero but with a two year old little girl. Have a switch I9 barely play but whenever she gets to my office we always switch on some Mario and she pretends to play away on a second controller happy out. My cousins used to do that to me when we were young and wouldn't want me playing their Mario, F Zero or Donkey Kong.

    I'm kinda looking forward to playing through all the Lego games with her :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,243 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    My 7-year-old son is really really big into gaming almost too much as he gets obsessed with it lol.

    He has a 3ds xl a fire tablet and a switch lite. Recently his ma and her sisters got there da a PS5 for his birthday (Thanks to me:pac:) So my son has played Astro a few times up in their house so he's on about that all the time now as well.

    He's not playing mine and he knows he's not allowed so that's the end of that :P

    Dont mind him watching stuff but I spend a lot of money on games and consoles so they're not for kids even mine. I've given him my mini nes to play old SNES and Megadrive games in his room and its already kinda broke lol

    My 4-year-old daughter doesn't give a ****e about games so far suits me lol.

    Surely you'd allow him play Astro if you're sitting with him?

    Wonder if Horizon will still release this year or will it get pushed with Covid.

    I think it might still make release, but God of War Ragnarok will probably be pushed to 2022.

    Yeah, there’s been rest mode issues since launch for some. Had this one myself but it happens far less these days. Almost certain to happen if I put it in rest mode with something downloading.

    They reiterated the 2021 date a little while back, if Covid was going to delay it it would have done so by now. GT has already been delayed and I don't think GoW was ever releasing in 2021, so Horizon is their big title this year.

    '2021' is pretty much the only information they've actually given about the game.



    Wildly optimistic, of course, but still a pretty overt announcement.

    Yea I don't think it was realistic to begin with.

    My first ever issue with my PS5. When I turn it on I get an error message that my extended USB drive that all my PS4 stuff is on isnt usable. I restart the PS5 straight away and it works fine. Only started since the last update. I should probably reformat it just to be safe, but the thought of downloading all that stuff again.
