May 2024

Update 2: Thursday May 30th there will be a State of Play at 6PM Eastern.

Update 1: It doesn’t look like there is a State of Play today, but they have confirmed Days of Play will be on the 29th. It is possible we still get a Days of Play soon though.

This time of year is packed with gaming news. What used to be E3, is not Summer Game Fest and around it is a bunch of showcases and press conferences that showcase upcoming video games, consoles, accessories, everything you could imagine. We already know that June 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th are packed with press conferences. In those four days, ten showcases are already announced. There are two big companies that are missing in those days. Nintendo and Sony have not announced any conferences, This isn’t surprising, for years the two have shied away from the traditional E3 style showcases that Ubisoft, Xbox, and others have done. Normally they do have a showcase all their own around the same time.

This year, May 28th, 2024 is the rumored date for the Playstation State of Play. While it’s not officially announced, the 28th would fall in line with their past events. In 2023, they did a showcase on May 24th.

On May 29th, assuming that May 28th is the State of Play, should start the Days of Play sale. Expect to see games, consoles, accessories, etc on sale. One item that I personally am excited to see if it goes on sale is the PlayStation Portal. It’s been hard to keep in stock as is and having it on sale would only increase the demand even more. I have to admit I didn’t see the appeal at first, it seemed like it would only work on your home Wifi, but I am happy that isn’t the case. While streaming to a phone would have been more convenient, the Portal is the next best thing.

I can’t wait to see whatever Sony is up to, especially since it seems that 2024 will be a light year for first party titles, maybe they have some surprised for the latter half of the year? We will just have to wait and find out.

On February 10th, we adopted Rose. She had a lot of medical issues in the beginning when we got her. We were in and out of vets offices a lot when we first got her. Kennel cough, pneumonia, and the fact that she was spayed right after giving birth and then adopted out right away will take a toll on a dog. Luckily she is as healthy as a horse now. She also sounds like one when she runs, but that’s a different story. She’s about 2 years old and a Pit bull mix. They have a bad reputation, but she is the sweetest dog.

I’ve only ever had small dogs and while 50 pounds is more than other dogs I’ve had, she’s not huge in any sense. In fact, she likes to make herself as small as possible. Luckily I believe she has adjusted to being in her new home. It’s just too bad that most of the toys we get her won’t last. She chews up chew toys really fast. Benebones need to be sanded within hours, other ones are the same way. We got her a stuffed unicorn and a Lambchop and both have almost no stuffing left in them. She goes crazy for squeaky toys and balls to the point where we have to control when we give them to her and it’s usually just outside or else she will just focus on them and squeak nonstop for hours, ignoring everything including her own food.

She’s also become a staple on my stream and other content lately. That is the reason I am writing this, while bits and pieces were given on social media and in content, I thought it best to put everything in one place. Also because I haven’t written anything in a while and I have been really wanting to. I’ve started a few articles, a few new tutorials, and some more video game writeups and while some have gone out, I thought it best to give a life update and properly introduce Rose.
