Playstation 5 all set up, PS3 and 4 relegated to a bed in a spare bedroom, wiped down the games and installed Valhalla. I decided to do it without setting up my internet first, because a lot of people these days on game podcasts like to claim there's no such thing as installing games from a disc anymore, a disc is just an activation device to download it from the internet. And one of my nephews wants a PS5, and is saving up money for it, but the place he's currently in doesn't give him individual internet, so I wanted to see if it was true, and so there was no point in him getting a console. I loaded up the Valhalla disc with no wired connection and no password for our wireless hub, and it copied it from a disc and let me start playing it. So I have no idea what those people - video game sort-of experts - are talking about.

Then, afterwards, I set up the internet and tried to log into my Playstation account. But it has two-step verification, so after logging in they send a code to your phone and you have to wait and input that. I waited about 15 minutes for my code, turned it off and on again and tried again, and got nothing. Then when I finally gave up in frustration and turned it off, I got about five texts with verification codes at once. So that was annoying. But hopefully a problem that will be easily sorted out tomorrow.

Yay, I am glad that you were able to get the PS5 all set up and everything! Huh, I'd heard that before about discs and it is quite interesting that the game loaded still with no problems. Maybe they just mean for those updates that sometimes happen on Day One of a release or something? *is unsure* That's good news for your nephew for potentially getting a PS5 at some point too! :D

Lol, I have no idea where my PS4 or PS3 will go when I finally get a PS5. XD

Gah, I hate when things like that happen with verification code texts. 0_0; Hopefully it will all get sorted out tomorrow though! *crosses fingers*
