TIL the PS5 & 4 had Twitter integration lol
- Iirc it was only used for uploading screenshots and videos captured on the consoles
  
  Now it supports upload them to PS App, at least on ps5. Which is so much better
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?
  
  Not the person you asked, but honestly it's the most useless button on the controller. I hit it by accident, and want the menu to go away quicker than it took to load in.
  
  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
PS4 had Twitter integration?

Man, everyday i'm more glad i stopped at the PS3.
- I think it's just for media sharing, like posting screenshots and video clips.
  
  Even the switch had that.
- My wife and I share a PS4 and neither of us knew it had Twitter integration.
- 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.
Good riddance.
Good.
Am I the only idiot that read X as X11 then realized it was referring to Twitter?
- No, the logo is basically identical
Burn baby burn
Who the fuck is using xitter on a ps5?
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?
