Sleeper code in PS4s bricking consoles and launching nukes.

[F for Fake]

According to Leddit, anyway.

What's going on? Reports are coming in that a certain character string are bricking consoles (probably with the error code CE-36329-3). This caused the PS4 to crash.

How do I prevent this? Be preemptive and set your message setting to either friends only or no one. You may also want to disable friend request since those may include personal messages in the request.

Go to Settings > Account Management > Privacy Settings > Enter your password > Personal Info | Messaging, and set Messages to either Friends (if you trust them) or No One.
You can do this on the PS4 itselt, the mobile app or directly in a browser: https://id.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com ... gshttps://" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Set your PS4s to receive msgs only from friends.

Way to make it look like a GH thread.

Cool might try this code on some forum members I know to see if its real or not. I sell ps4s and need to earn some money by wrecking existing ones to accelerate the sales of replacements.

JK so why the fuck isn't sony fixing this exploit? Do they want nintendo to win? You guys are always making fun of them for being so behind the times with online stuff. But at least there aren't hidden things to wreck the machine.

I got a letter through the post with a code that bricked my Switch.

As if. The seal of quality has never failed.

Japanese companies that have been in the game biz so long actually give a shit about reputation. That's why Breath of the Wild is so awesome. No bugs like bethesda games or obsidian games.

Indie gaming developers have a new audience to make a buck from thanks to the switch portability. The Vita being killed by sony was a big disapointment imo. They should have kept supporting it. IT's weak man. You abandoned the handheld gamers. And now nintendo took the opportunity and killing mobile phone gaming with really good indie games that require good controls. The future of portables is not some faggy touchscreen shit that your unco mother uses but real buttons and sticks. The powerglove shit and dancing infront of a camera to control stuff isn't practical and I'm glad we are done with it. The Switch is what the Wii U should have been all along. (waggle with normal controls combined in one neat package so it's appealing to kiddies and normal game fans. The waggle expanded the market to non-gamers which is good but not if it comes at the expense of the normal stuff and I'm glad the balance is back)

Nintendo are not huge fans of online gaming because they want people to play games not trashtalk. Do it in person in local play you sissy. (what's the matter scared to get punched in the face? hehe) Another thing: Nintendo fans never have to worry about swatting and that's safe for children. It worked in nintendo's favour. Did you see the controversy over fortnight being evil because it's giving kids nightmares? That's because these online games are too much for them to handle. Offline games don't have that effect because you need skill to survive in them whereas online games mean a shit player can survive because other people are doing the work for you and you just happened to be there at the right time in the right place which means many wins are not earned or due to your own skill as a player but merely because you got lucky. In offline, you don't just stand around letting others do things for you. That online idea of letting people do shit for you is something that has made people weak because they don't see the point of having to be good at something themselves and as lazy players they join others to make sure they don't need to pull their weight. Another thing: Online gaming has destroyed the single player game and I am most likely not going to have fun playing the upcoming fallout 76. I wish you online guys would piss off for destroying GTA5 too. Fucking pricks. No single player DLC thanks to you shits! CDPR are the only guys left to do that.

Nintendo is the future you mindless dipshits. The future is:
-offline gaming (your mother can be proud that you achieved something and tell everyone it was all YOU. The community newspaper boosts your street cred and then kids can become as good as you. Who else is going preserve game hobby when you die?)

-only playing locally the people you respect enough to trust that they are not exploiting cheats (with online gaming against strangers, rich people can pay the other guy to lose to get a win streak and upload to youtube to become celebrities to little kids watching the stream thinking they are pro players when it is staged, which defeats the purpose of competition. All fighting game tournaments are LOCAL for a reason you dumb shit. Nobody has been able to argue against me on this)

-and only buying games with the seal of quality on it. (you get good value from EBgames if you ever need to trade a nintendo game in for store credit.You can't say that about the yearly EA roster update shit. Why? because nintendo makes polished software that isn't rushed to market. Even blizzard screw up sometimes EG Diablo 3. They are the most experienced show some respect and kneel you softcore noobs. If nintendo disappears it will drop the standard of the quality of gaming as a whole and EA will be all that's left. Games with lootboxes Most of the people running these companies know jack shit about what makes a game fun because they are only in it for money only. If games made little money they would fuck off to some other industry and that's what makes nintendo different: they identify what is fun and then make games based on this rather than think of games as tech demos for some engine or just to rake in easy cash from licensed properties like EA. If a game is shit but sells like crazy you should still feel ashamed! Not clap that you made the company profit from releasing garbage that encourages other companies to stop making good shit because making garbage is more profitable hehe American companies have no fucking shame or ethics. IT's the reason you got shit like Aliens Colonial Marines which could have been awesome in the hands of company that cared about quality)
