Bake a cake at 300 degrees for the first minute. Score it halfway in and set it to 400 the last 30 minutes.

The frosting you can buy at your local supermarket. I'm pretty sure you can manage that once you have your bakery tools for decorating.

Totally agree. It's so weird that they seemingly have no idea what games appeal to me. I've done the same thing, deleting games or saying I had no interest in them but they still advertise the same products.

It means they aren't as sophisticated tracking your habits as Google. Personally, I welcome this. I prefer a company that spams the same ad to everyone, than try to snoop every detail to serve "personalized content".

Wow, this looks great! OH WAIT

PS4 Pro is aesthetically better and has a nicer interface. It isn't as powerful under the hood no, but it's a perfectly fine Playstation while waiting for the right moment, especially if you have other gaming devices.

The original PS4, yeah. Fucking plebstation LOL

For the record, this is because you played Fortnite at some point on Playstation. You can "unfollow" the game from the store page and you won't get notifications anymore.

Anyone know of a way to do this on PS5?

Edit: Never mind, it doesn't seem to be there on PS5 right? It's not on mine anyway.
On PS5 the "feautured games" are in a separate section that you only see when you press the PS button, but are not intrusive. You only see ads for these games if you had downloaded them before, because the system auto follows any game you install. If this annoys anyone, then just have to unfollow the game and the ads for that game will not appear again.

PS3 had the worst dashboard ad, at least here in europe, there was a permanent singstar full page backgroud ad that i think it could not be removed.

Never played Fortnite in my entire life and the ads keeps poping up. It has nothing to with play history.
But you have thought about it. And Sony has access to your thoughts. Did you not read the fine print?

How to Stop Ads Being Added to the PS4's Dashboard
  1. Go to Settings. From the home menu screen (where your PS4's app icons are displayed) push up and browse to the toolbox icon labelled 'Settings'. ...
  2. Go to the System submenu. ...
  3. Go to the Automatic Downloads submenu. ...
  4. Disable Featured Content.

Phone reception is more important to me than human rights
I was also confused why OP 's screen looked like that, lol.

This also works for PS5. The unfollow settings on PS5 is now integrated into the OS., so you can do alot at one time vs game by game in the store.

IIts a lil different but has the same effect.

I have never seen that before. Yes, that would annoy me too. I'm already annoyed by the advertising on my TV menu.

On PS5 whatever the game you start, it will automatically follow for new news. You have to go to Fortnite from PSN and unfollow.
