How is my son playing Minecraft online and talking to his friend on the headset, when it's my profile that's got PS Plus and he's using his own?

Because the console is set to be your 'primary' console meaning any other profile on the console gets your PS+ benefits.

Oh ffs you're kidding I was going to let PS Plus expire. I have done that but I thought that he just got access to my games and not my PS Plus benefits.

Fuuuuuck it is as well, share online multiplayer with 1 account. I already told my wife it wouldn't affect him and he'd still be able to play after she insisted he wouldn't haha.

Nintendo switch pro controller, worth getting? Thinking of getting one for the lite with a cheap stand for use on plane/when a stand is available.

8bitdo Ultimate for me Jon, better quality imo, hall effect sticks..

Not sure I would bother with an external controller with a switch lite and travelling tho fella.

Portal Revolution is good. Not as hard as Portal Stories Mel.

I finally got around to playing Ghosts of Tsushima. 

Fabulous game. Really enjoying of. I’m crap at the combat, but getting better

I liked Got - for a Far Raider game it had quite a different feel.

Yes, love mine. The standard switch controller activates the RSI in my wrist, I find the pro controller very comfortable.

I'm also a fan of the Pro controller.

If it's for using away from the TV Hori make much bigger clip on controllers which are great for people with big hands who don't want RSI

Hitman World of Assassination is £22 or so on the PS store until tonight when it goes back to £60. Three games, all the addons etc, great fun.

It's very very tempting, even for people like us - the girlfriend and I, who probably have a good few years of brand new unplayed games for the latest generation of consoles.

Yay! I just flushed two people's heads down the toilet.

Playing Ghost of Tsushima. Fantastic game!!!
can’t believe I sat on this for a year without even touching it (said the man who has about 15 sealed PS5 games including Elden Ring)

It's absolutely wonderful. I played it on PS5 before the upgrade patch came and even then it's still my favourite PS5 game. 

Though the end of Act 2 broke me a little bit.

I played the Prince of Persia demo last night. I like it! I don't mind if it's not exactly the same as the old ones because honestly I haven't played those in 25 years. It seems fun. I assume it'll get cheaper  

Also started Observation which is weird. It's quite slow but def an interesting sci-fi thing where you play as an AI on a space station

I haven't played the demo, only seen yt footage. 
It may be a good game but mysterious, magical feel of the originals is completely gone, not a fan of very "anime" approach to it. Game itself may be decent though.

I can see that, but tbh that particular ship sailed with the PS3 games.
