lol the PS4 and 5 had Twitter integration? Didn't even know that was a thing and I've been a Playstation user since the PS2 and currently rock a PS5.

Never tried hitting that share button in eight years?

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 11 months ago

nope, it's a waste of a button. I hate that button with a passion.

Nope, I'm pretty introverted and don't really have friends, lol

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Doesn’t mean you can’t save some fun photos for later. They save to your console by default; you don’t have to share them at all.

Good riddance.

PS4 had Twitter integration?

Man, everyday i'm more glad i stopped at the PS3.

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think it's just for media sharing, like posting screenshots and video clips.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

Even the switch had that.

My wife and I share a PS4 and neither of us knew it had Twitter integration.

[–] snownyte@kbin.social -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah because we've gotta share clips of what we play to several dozen fucking media places. I'm glad my better gaming days seemed to be resting at the PS2 era, didn't have all of this social media shit.

Man, Dirt 3 had YouTube integration and npcs telling you to 'upload that sick trick to youtube'. A wild time.

Burn baby burn

Am I the only idiot that read X as X11 then realized it was referring to Twitter?

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

No, the logo is basically identical

[–] yoz@aussie.zone 5 points 11 months ago

Who the fuck is using xitter on a ps5?

[–] Kachilde@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

What are they going to replace it with? The X button is so iconic! … oh, gotta finish reading the headline before commenting.

How will scrubquotesX get content now?
