  • It has already been said but the company is complying in the sense that it is providing a solution whereby you can delete your account. That said, where you are unable to follow that process, they should offer you the same ability via email. Each company does things slightly differently but I would hazard a guess that an email stating that you find it more reasonable for the action to be carried out via email, they would be likely to comply.

    The reasons why companies put these in place is simply to avoid mass requests for deletion and, as stated, to also protect you.

    While email spoofing has been mentioned, it is somewhat unlikely anyone would send a request for deletion after spoofing your email, yet, it is not impossible.

    You may have to be persistent, could use services that support or even get some pointers from the ICO. Here is a really good link https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/your-right-to-get-your-data-deleted/

    I wish you luck


  • The first one is definately the best one in terms of the overall feel of the game and storyline. Both the 2nd and 3rd games are good and have elements of story continuation in them. On the 3rd one though, parts of the story did not keep me hooked and I did not feel invested in the character arch as much as the others. For me, great games, new and old, must have:

    • A compelling storyline
    • A believable or even relatable character arch
    • Consistency throughout so the story flows

    Graphics are not the most important thing in any way. I want to feel immersed.

    Feel that went on a little tangent them but you get what I mean (hopefully).



  • While I have loved the innovation of Sony over the years, this one is a little odd. If Sony had thought about this, they would have realised that most people these days already have a viable handheld device, a smartphone. Microsoft got that one right by making remote play work so well on most mobile devices with connection to a pad. I just feel Sony should have done the same.

    That said, I get there are some benefits if you have a shared screen and cannot always get on your PS5 but is that worth the money? I am not too sure.

    Still, this is the early days and Sony will likely have a bigger vision for it. I mean, being able to connect to any network and play games remotely would be a huge step.



  • I have a stack in place built around Tailscale. I mean, this may not be the best route but, hey, it works for me.

    So I have Tailscale running across my devices. Within Tailscale, I have enabled Mullvad Exit Nodes for some privacy control. Then I have overridden the default DNS setting with NextDNS.

    Within NextDNS I have a standard profile with some ad and telemetry blocking which is typically for the family devices and then I have a disgustingly pimped up profile for my main devices with a hell of a lot blocked, including domains that I do not care for (facebook for example).

    The pros are that I can control all connections easier, even when out of my home network. That said, it takes some setting up to ensure I don’t bork connections. And, yes, I learnt that the hard way when I blocked all ‘meta’ tools across my whole network and the kids lost it!
