Dirty Playstation Kid Responds To Conspiracy Theories

Reid Godshaw, the Dirty PlayStation Kid? has contacted PlayThree.net to debunk the conspiracy theories against him. He states that he is a long time Sony consumer, a genuine customer, and categorically denies being paid to attack Sony.

Reid Godshaw is the all-American kid who shot to notoriety when his PlayStation 3 broke. Sony refused to fix it claiming it was too dusty. However gamers began to get suspicious because pictures of his PS3 showed a console that wasn't just dusty, but actually covered in a thick layer of dirt. Eager gamers then discovered that the Dirty PlayStation Kid? was a bit-part actor. Conspiracy theories suggested that his whole story was a big set-up against Sony intended to damage consumer confidence in them. Speculation then turned to who was the puppet master. Could it be a rival console maker?

NO. Godshaw has written an emotional post to PlayThree.net to share his side of the story. He says "Yes im an actor, No i definitely have never appeared on Fox News ever before. No i wasnt paid or encouraged by anyone to attack Sony." He goes on to say "First off, I emailed this to Consumerist as soon as i was told that in order to get pictures of my system i would have to subpoena them. Yes I'm an actor, No that doesn't mean i just go out and buy a new console, or just dish out 150$ to have them dust my 600$ console off. I did what i thought was necessary." Perhaps if you thought it necessary to wipe a cloth over your PS3 once in a blue moon all of this could've been avoided?!

Reid Godshaw I am glad to set the record straight, and link to your crap. Please let us know what is happening with Sony and your PlayStation 3, I want to know how this story ends. And don't be too upset by all the press, your IMDB star rating is up 6000% which means film executives will be taking note. Maybe next year we will get to see you in the Christmas PS3 ads?

Check out the link for a picture... wow.:laugh:ugh:

I really hope sony dont give him another one as its his own dam fault for not keeping it clean etc. It dont take 30 seconds to get a vacume and vacume around the area and gently blow it out now and again.

The only way it can get that dusty is due to neglect as not even my home server which lives on the floor gets that dusty!

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say Joss sticks - because I doubt that any fine young actor would have anything else smoking in his home that would create as much muck. :shifty:

How is he a genius?

Explain that one :/

...because it's "killing" a Playstation 3 so to speak. His sarcasm was a bit dry on that one.

Kid's a fool though. Electronics accumulate dust, but that bad boy looks like it sat through an Iraqi dust storm!

He's not being paid, it could definitely be a stunt on his part to garner attention for his career. No way in hell someone let's something get that disgustingly dirty that isn't 'dust' that's dirt... this incident has gotten him more attention than his acting career ever would have.

    • Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes, generating a PSO cache, pre-compiling every shader before loading the game and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly.
    • I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
