If I tip I generally do it based on the work/effort rather than the price.

For a PC with Keyboard and mouse, I prefer a monitor.

But for a PS5 with a controller, yes. But not just a TV, the whole thing TV + sofa + ideally good speakers (personally I prefer 2.0 monitors to keep it simpler)

Some people use a console with a monitor, from a short distance. But I personally use it when I want to relax playing from the sofa on a big screen.

The only issue here is that my wife was the main TV user before I got the PS5, so now I need to add another TV in the bedroom or something.

The PS5 is amazing to play from the sofa. But I recommend getting a big 4K TV with 120Hz, VRR and good HDR (lot of nits) to get the most of it. (I have a basic HDR 4K60FPS 4-5 year old Samsung TV and the experience is still good).

I have a PC, SD and recently got a PS5. And lately I’m mainly playing GT7.

Now… every time I buy a game I check if I should get it on Steam or PS5.

For online paid games I always go with PC because in PS5 you have to pay a subscription.

The only things I don’t like from the PS5 are games that run at 30FPS. And there are quite a lot. And, of course, that you have to pay a stupid 70€+ yearly subscription to be able to play paid games online with other humans.

GT7 and Warzone (the 2 I play the most) are 60 FPS. But FF16 is 30FPS and even on a controller is a bit painful to watch.

Wearing deodorant has nothing to do with bathing regularly.

You can bath regularly and not need deodorant, every body is different. Also depends on the activities done between each bath/shower.

Now some people do not bath regularly and use deodorant or perfume, that never ends up well in terms of odor.

Do you have more battery screenshots but with 48-96 hours of standby?

I wonder how much SoT you can fit if you don’t charge the phone every day.

I used to charge my P5 every 3 nights but lately I do it every 2 nights, sometimes every night.

That being said. If I open Google maps just a few times per day (not even starting navigation), the standby time goes down like crazy.

On PC (Linux). I prioritise Steam.

But if the game is much cheaper in other launchers that can be used with Lutris. Like Epic. That doesn’t stop me from getting it there instead.

I can’t remember well. But: price in the X was good enough for me like 100€ maybe a bit less.

And secondly. The detachable microphone that can be located close to the mouth. That was a deal breaker for me because I use the headset to work (Microsoft teams) and play with friends (Warzone). And I like my voice to be as clear as possible. Especially if I have the windows open and some background noise.

So in short. I prefer unidirectional microphones that point to your mouth and if they are closer (so the gain doesn’t need to be high), better.

I use the “barracuda X” it’s black no RGB. It has both Bluetooth and low latency wireless.

I use it mainly in Windows (work/gaming) and PS5 (gaming).

In Linux I used it for gaming too. The only difference is that sometimes the gain in the drivers is very high. But I think it could be my problem (for messing with the drivers in the past months) maybe I need a clean install.

I must confess that sometimes fast travel removes a lot of value from a game. While it saves you a lot of time like a cheat. Cheats also save you time.

One thing that I also noticed is that my monitor (which has i think 350 nits / LG 27GL850-B) it is much easier and clear to see at direct sunlight because of the anti-glare screen.

But I doubt that antiglare/matte displays is a thing you find on TVs.

It was really straightforward to be honest. But I did it 2 weeks ago.

Maybe 6-12 months ago was more difficult.

I installed Lutris I opened it, then installed epic store Then I logged in and installed hitman.

To play I have to open lutris > epic store > hitman 3.

I recently played hitman 3 with Lutris on Kubuntu in Epicstore.

Sync was working well. Game was running well.

It is not Steam (which has a native Linux installation), but at least it works.

If the price is the same I go with steam, if epic is much cheaper I go with epic.

Thanks for the hints. So that means that in a bright room, a TV with 1500+ nits is ideal for HDR right?

But even with a 1500 nits TV, HDR will be still much better in a dark room? (Where OLED shines?).

Aesthetically I prefer the old one.

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

I have a budget Samsung 55" NU7400 and I can’t see shit while playing a PS5 game with HDR during the day. I need to close the blackout curtains otherwise I see my face reflected.

Next TV I buy I will do some research and spend a bit more money, 120Hz, more nits, VRR, etc.

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 on a 4K TV.

I’m never ditching 27" 1440p for a bigger resolution like 4K or ultrawide.

The overall battery life is pretty good. But the standby (when screen is off) is still taking like 1% per hour right?

I did 59.1% / 53,5~ hours.

I’m more a fan of 1% every 3 hours. Not 1% per hour. If Google managed to do something in the OS to guarantee that it would be amazing. (Note: always considering power hungry stuff like AOD off).

Also, I recommend checking this from 100% and only after reaching 1%. I’ve recently seen my Pixel 5 draining 1% overnight (like going from 40% to 39% in 7 hours), and that’s a lie in my experience it never does this little. I stopped paying attention to overnight standby drain after seeing this. So to be more accurate it is better to account for the full cycle (99%+ usage).

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