  I’m in the same boat.

  Elden Ring, Helldivers 2, many games I’d get on Sony Store that I just get on Steam because I want to “own” the full game not just the offline part.

  They could stop charging gamers a subscription to play the paid games (they own) online.

  This could attract some customers that don’t want to deal with PC or don’t want to add fixed costs to their monthly or yearly bill.

  Aesthetically I prefer the old one.

  But if you have to move your PS5 from time to time. (Example going to a second home for a week or so) I’d totally go with the new one as it fits better on a backpack.

  Indeed. I have my TV on a TV desk and behind it there is a mess of cables, all kind of hidden.

  On my desk I have:

  • ISP modem,
  • personal router
  • gigalan powered switch
  • VPN server (edgerouter X)
  • Toslink hifi dac
  • passive preamp with IR receiver to control the volume
  • The TV
  • x2 powered monitors (KRK RP6G3).
  • PS5 console
  • One headphone amp that lately I’m not using (Lyr 2) and I think I’ll reallocate.

  I recently got a PS5 and I only buy offline games because of this.

  They should release maybe some 20€ annual plan just including online gaming and maybe 500MB of cloud storage for saves.

  But having to pay for this is a disadvantage Vs PC games and having to pay like 74€ per year is even worse.

  Yeah and on the living room with a big screen (I got a PS5 recently) I think the PS5 is doing lot of 1440p FSR upscaling.

  And it still looks nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brilliant visuals and growing pains: examining the first generation of Unreal Engine 5 games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m never ditching 27" 1440p!

  I read this post (without knowing the game yet but having it on a future wishlist) and can’t stop thinking how much lucky we were with Dark Souls, Elden Ring, BB and Sekiro.

  I play these games with DualSense even on PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capcom President Thinks Game Prices Are 'Too Low' - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Some prices are crazy in my opinion.

  I generally buy 2 year old games except in some cases.

  And in the consoles they are even more expensive. Game price could be higher than on PC and then you also need to pay an expensive subscription (because they charge you for a lot more things than just the multiplayer costs) to be allowed to play in multiplayer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity Claims PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Will Pay Its New Runtime Fee On Behalf Of Devs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Also valid. Yeah

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity Claims PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Will Pay Its New Runtime Fee On Behalf Of Devs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually…consumers end up paying for it. Companies will just increase prices as when the Government taxes them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing the Epic First Run program⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And steam works like a charm in Linux with windows games.

  Also works fine with joysticks like dualsense. (Although for some reason they started overriding the native driver with their own steam API after launching steam games even if the game is set to disable steam input).

  For me it’s not a deal breaker. But in terms of standby it’s number 1. (Because I deleted everything else).

  If I open BBS I get a mess of partial wakelocks: imgur.com/a/KzMQhR9

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How has Instagram largely avoided being associated with Facebook/Meta?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And WhatsApp, mother of standby battery drain.

  Especially in the compost one.
