I tried that Mamacita song QoP mentioned and it was quite bad imo

It's weird that the only time I feel old is that now Drake is "uncool" and Kanye is legit garbage, and his good stuff is now in the "classic". That makes me feel older. Otherwise I can pretend i'm still in my twenties for another year or two.

My $800 surface laptop is my dream machine! It's sleek, has a superior aspect ratio, and it even has a sweet alcantera keyboard (it doesn't get grimy unless you're some sort of nasty cheeto man). It could use a USB-C port but I think the new ones fixed that

Microsoft are giant dicks but they make some pretty sweet hardware

Probably not worth it unless you cant stand the greyish white default ones for a few months until officially licensed ones come out.

I doubt the software will know that they are off but it likely is better to keep them on so that the fan gets the air channels it was designed for and no objects get into it

Lots of games support 4k and HDR on the oneX. Not sure what software support youre referring to?

In what way is gamepass bad? Btw r6 siege just dropped on it so I'm gonna try that tonight. Should be fun getting my rear end handed to me.

It was $100 more than the pro, but it also had a faster CPU, a superior GPU, more RAM, a UHD player, and a more robust cooling solution. All of that extra stuff does cost extra to produce.

I don't get what you mean by its lack of software support. Anything released for XB1 after the X came out had to be enhanced for it, and lots of games from last gen's best version was on the X. Its backcompat was really well done. It got killed off because there is a new console generation and the XSX is filling its niche, just as the XSS is filling the One S niche. Last gen's consoles do not have enough CPU horsepower to expect devs to continue to develop for the new consoles and old consoles without being stuck in cross gen hell forever. A clean generational break makes development easier and the games better in the long run. The Jaguar cores were always trash, but they are especially trash seven years later. Imagine this generation lasting seven more years and expecting developers to make an SKU of their games for a 14 year old laptop CPU.

I totally understand why Gamepass turns people off, but it's completely optional. You can buy games the conventional way. And there are plenty of game out he XB1, but obviously Sony does much better with first party exclusives. Some people don't care about those, though.

I do not care about Xbox because I have a decent PC, which means there's no real reason to buy one, but I do think the XB1X was a nice machine.

A real hellraiser


Lol my PS5 controller will be most often charged on my Nintendo switch dock.

Also I've been trying to look up PS5 content. Weird stuff.

1) 9 times out of 10 in have to dig through reaction videos and weird content farms before I find the actual official Sony video
2) Every Sony "influencer" or Sony specific channel I've found so far sucks rear end or is extremely annoying. Like that controller unboxing posted earlier, I made it about halfway through, it was just so loving haphazard in presentation. There is a real quality gap from what I can tell between Nintendo fan content and PlayStation fan content. Which is bizarre to me because Nintendo loving hates their own fans and takes them down whenever possible while Sony likes and nurtures their fans. Maybe I just haven't found the good Sony content yet. There's a ton of Nintendo content and influencers who are godawful, I just know where the good ones are.

Even the simple stuff is kind of frustrating. “Smart Delivery” is mostly just a marketing term, but you can Google that easily and find an up-to-date list on Microsoft’s site. With the PS you have to search for “free upgrade to PS5” or similar and wade through five gmerzone.biz sites until you find the one that won’t lock you out for using an adblocker, and even then it may or may not be up to date

Apparently some Sony games are getting patches to optimize load times on the PS5. And in the case of The Last of Us Remastered that's even the case when playing on a PS4, though I'm not sure how much improvement you'll see without an SSD.
