@phl IT’S THE FUTURE, TAKE IT!

@tomstuart I guess I don’t understand why *downloading* a game update prevents playing. The actual *update* seems like a separate, subsequent process.

@tomstuart I know, but given it could be months between occasions I play, I don’t want to leave it on, even a bit, while not using it.

Every time I switch the PS4 on, which isn’t that often, I think “Will I be able to play a game or will I have to download something instead?”

Just time for a quick game on the PS4 of watching an Elite update download. I only need to update if I want to use “network features” it said. I don’t. It still won’t let me play until update is downloaded.

@samdexter Congrats! May we both repeat our respective achievements in future.

@dotcode It’s like that bit in Blade Runner: “I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like poos down the pan.”

@dotcode Alas, too late. I should have thought of you the moment I looked at it.

@dotcode Enjoyable, gratifying, pleasant, pleasing, rewarding, satisfactory, etc, etc. I’m not sure what you’re after.

@dotcode It wasn’t *that* satisfying.

@tomcoates I haven’t yet released an impact assessment if, indeed, an impact assessment actually exists.

I know we’re all fed up of bad news so it’s important we share good news whenever it happens. I just did a really satisfying poo. Thanks.
