Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now...

Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be "fixing it".

Man it is never enough with these greedy fucking assholes. I don't even own one and I'm mad about this... It's with everything lately... Soon we'll have ads in our fucking dreams like Futurama....

"But not in our dreams!"

Ugh the constan dream ad reruns

trying to get back in a nightmare to avoid seeing puppymonkeybaby again

Cannabis will be sold as a way to escape the constant dreamvertising.

I can't even smoke anymore... Stupid anxiety... THC triggers panic attacks and I've finally gotten to the point where even if my bowl is 90% CBD it still gets me...

Not to get all serious n shit but as a fellow sufferer i hope you're getting your anxiety treated. I didnt listen to my friends when they told me it progressively gets worse and kept gutting it out until i was non-functioning and had to get a pro to get me back on my feet.

None of my biz just hope you're taking care of yourself

I appreciate the concern!

I have to try again I suppose. I kinda gave up after every med I tried turned me into a zombie and made work really difficult because all I wanted to do was sleep. CBD really helps stop a panic attack, but the majority of my father's side of the family has anxiety issues so I think my brain is just broken lol

Society/economy of 2024 isn't doing me any favors either lol

Never know, you could have undiagnosed adhd which when untreated for a lifetime manifests as anxiety and depression. Like me. Or it could be something different.

It might take you a bit to find it but that's normal. Those friends of mine warned me it often takes time to find the right mix so you're not unusual... Just prepare in advance to keep sloggin' until something hits. It will, but it will take more time than you'd like. I wish i had a better sales pitch.

Finally don't consider your genes or brain broken, that's just our brain doin' the same ol' self-hate as usual but with extra stolen labcoat to slip our defenses

I see all the adhd memes and comments that usually makes me feel like "hmm maybe I do have this" but I also see a bunch of people saying "we all think that even if we don't have it" lol thanks again for the concern!
