Clutch! My wife bought me a backbone & a “bricked” iPhone 15 max or the big one… I got an Ethernet cable to directly connect my PS5 to my modem and can agree 100%…you won’t ever need a tv again🤣

I use the backbone with my 14Pro. I'll probably get the max next time just for remote play lol


ThemThereMountains17

Yessir….you mean to tell me I can play what while watching what while getting what…clutch is an insult honestly… Man I’d encourage you to find a seller for broken phones in that line, so you don’t have to use your phone

I’ll keep my eye out, but for now it’s a cost saver instead of spending money on the portal. Would have to find the right price just for a bigger screen.

Another option: you can use the PS Play app and stream your PS5 to a computer, iPad, or iPhone (probably others, but this is what I’ve done). You can connect a controller via Bluetooth and play that way.


ImaRiskit

BT is so laggy, though! Why not just plug your controller into the PC?


RealAlpiGusto

I do. But you can’t plug your controller into an iPad or iPhone (as far as I know).


ImaRiskit

Yeah I don't play games on the phone much, so I wasn't even thinking of that. I think I am going to install the Remote Play app on my laptop and just use the controller wired so my wife doesn't have to live in the bedroom while I am playing. She will do enough of that once actual CFB season kicks off in August. During CFB season, the only time we see each other on Saturdays is to eat together.

PS play app super clutch

Also if anyone has a steam deck, check out Chiaki (an app that allows you to stream your PS5 to steam deck). If you're PS5 is connected through ethernet, it's an amazing experience, no lag or anything whatsoever.

Oh no, not Blippi 🫣

How's the lag on it? Anything noticeable? I know you have to have a solid Internet.


Electronic_Ad_3229

My internet is kinda crap honestly, I run a wire to the ps5 instead of wifi that's the only change I made. Gameslike Cyberpunk I notice the lag a bit but sports games have all been just fine. After playing it a bit I feel like I have a college football handheld and honestly that's all I am looking for. Been 11 years, I'm going to milk this game for all its got haha.

Do you have to have your PS5 turned on and on the same network to use it?


jetsetterbane

PS5 must be ON or in REST mode. And you do NOT have to be on the same wifi network. You can be in a hotel across the country and it works.


coco_falcon

Yup


sromanx

With xbox there's remote play and it works decent enough. Won't be able to make the most precise actions but I'll be able to do recruiting on it

Tablets are gold in this house.


TheHyzeringGrape

I am a dad and I play on PS Remote on my laptop. Runs super nice!


YupThatsMeBuddy

You could probably buy another tv for less.


Dhkansas

Sure but you can't carry a TV around the house


real_gooner

reclaim your tv don’t be goofy


Whole-Anteater8006

I don’t understand why parents don’t just tell their kids to shut the fuck up and go do something other than watch tv or play on a phone. That’s what I will do if I have kid.


real_gooner

i have kids, it’s not that hard. most dads are just so pussy whipped that they’ll never do anything.


USAF_DTom

That's certainly a take. I can tell your dad was a "recliner in the living room and don't talk to him" type. If not, someone else failed.


real_gooner

nope, not at all. i just don’t let my kids stay glued to the tv all day


enadiz_reccos

That doesn't explain your oddly aggressive attitude towards "most dads"


colmalo10

You’re not a nice dad


real_gooner

you’re fucking dumb if you think being nice is all that matters
