Fallout 4 is already a smash hit, shattering Steam’s record for concurrent users, and it’s no wonder why: the game improves upon an already popular formula in just about every way. As with every Bethesda game, the little details sometimes make the biggest impact, such as when the player’s robot butler, Codsworth, refers to them by name. That assumes, of course, you have a name he knows how to say.

An intrepid player on Reddit has unearthed the complete list of names Codsworth is programmed to say, and there are some surprising options. The Kyles and Seans of the world will be saddened to learn that Codsworth has forgotten how to say their names (in his defense, his hard drive is over 200 years old.) However, people hoping to roleplay as Sterling Archer, Battosai the Manslayer, or Philip Marlowe (among others) can rejoice.

PS5 themes: Can you customize your homescreen?
A person plays Crash Bandicoot using a PS5 DualSense controller.

The PlayStation  launched without many features that we loved from the PS4 . Over the years, a few have come back, but what about themes? These could be earned, downloaded, or purchased, and some even came included with certain games that gave your home screen a new look and background soundtrack related to different games or concepts. This made customizing your home screen that much more fun and personal. However, is this feature on the PS5? Here's whether or not you can put custom themes on your new console or change the background.
Does the PS5 have themes?

No, the PS5 does not have any themes. Instead, whenever you highlight a game or app on your home screen, the background will change to art related to that game, as well as show more information on it. While far from ideal, it is the closest we are likely to get to the themes we had on our PS4.
Can you change the background on a PS5?
Again, due to the PS5 dynamically changing the background depending on what you're currently looking at, there's no way to alter your background at this time. Since the background is constantly changing, even if you had a custom image, it would always be changing as you cycled through games. There are a few other ways you can customize your PS5, however, unless Sony gives us the option with an update, there's no way to set a theme on your PS5.
