Volte posted:Well yeah, if I end up finding a physical PS5 game for super cheap I'll certainly buy it, but I mean a full priced PS5 game on launch day is probably going to be a digital buy. I very much value not owning a game once I've finished playing it, and with a disc, not only is that possible, but other people give me money for it. Especially if it's a single player game with not very much replayability? why own it forever for $60 if you can play it all the way through and sell/trade it for the equivalent of $30 when you're done?

Shammypants posted:It used to be even better. You could get 20% off games, which was good. But also you could get a $1 credit (sometimes 2) for doing a slow delivery to your house on your orders. Then you could buy Nintendo or PS5 gift cards with them, which you can't do anymore. Then you could use their occasional buy 2 get 1 free promotions and I would get like 5 games for the price of 1 or maybe 1.5 games. They did this to compete with Toys R Us. It worked.

I don't understand how that math works. Normally a game is $60, you get $12 off, $1 back. So you got a $60 game for $47. The buy 2 get 1 never included preorders with the discount but let's pretend it did, that's $94 for 3 games. How'd you get 5 games 'for the price of one, maybe 1.5'? Amazon's deal was appealing but it was $10 off preorders only.

cubicle gangster posted:I don't understand how that math works. You'd have to acquire enough of those digital credits. My wife was really into glitch sales with Amazon and would often get products to resell on either unintended deals or what not and the digital credits would just be the icing on the cake.* So one time for example she got some kitchen faucet for 10 dollars down from 90 and we resold it for 30, and also took $2 in digital credits for not using Prime delivery. I would regularly get 60 dollar gift cards from those digital credits (looking into it, I got 3 60 dollar gift cards). Also, the preorder discounts would work on occasion, but never for super big titles like a new Mario. This didn't bother me too much because getting a physical copy of a game was all that mattered. It was free so I could turn around and sell them and get another game later with the proceeds. So I got Xenoblade Chronicles 2, played it for 30 hours, didn't like it, and someone bought from me for 40. It would just keep going on. quote:Order Summary *So here is an example. This company was going out of business and offloaded a bunch of beach tent kind of things at 90% off. We bought 4 of these, got $2 dollars for each delivery in digital credits and resold each for 10.

Remember that brief period when Amazon had great digital PC sales? There was this cool seeming guy in charge of it all that I think even posted on SA that apparently busted his rear end negotiating the deals. And then one day they just completely stopped.

Real hurthling! posted:Yeah same i got into actually finishing games around 2010 when dark souls came out at the age of 27 Same, but Bloodborne and my early 20s. I’ve always liked video games, and I got a PS4 to play The Last Guardian, but before that I would maybe play one or two games a year, and now I own.... *checks digital library* 517 PS4 and PS5 games, although a lot of those are also demos or free PS Plus games. This year I plan on becoming a true Gamer and I’m building what you could call a ‘gaming PC’, but I’m not specifically building it for gaming, but for making music really. And attempting to use Blender and Unity again, and those programs also benefit from a nice GPU, and I didn’t realize there was a 3060 ti, which is cool because I was tempted to splurge and get a 3070, but I don’t know if i could justify spending more than I did on the PS5 on a graphics card. Obviously this is all assuming that they’re even manufacturing 30 series cards which I’m not fully convinced of yet. imhotep fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Jan 23, 2021 |

Shammypants posted:You'd have to acquire enough of those digital credits. You left all this out of your post though. You jumped from $10 off to paying $15 per game in the blink of an eye. The amount of work that likley took is probably not entirely dissimilar to someone paying for games using money they earned at a job. That's actually what you did, you made money on the side then bought games with it.

First PS5 controller down for the count! R2 trigger lost all tension and I can hear a little broken custom spring rattling inside. Looked up a vid on how to fix and unlike the DS4 it looks like that poo poo requires BRAIN SURGERY, soldering, etc. Shame, the controller is in mint condition otherwise. For usage perspective, this broken DualSense was splitting duty with my other one and I have adaptive triggers turned off, who knows if that makes a difference. Oh well, back to the store it goes! Hopefully they'll swap it.

In DMC V both of my controllers make a terrifying little clicking sound, which I presume is the trigger magic getting ready, whenever the game switches from a cutscene to combat/exploration and L2 needs to have Nero’s sword rev gimmick. No other games make either trigger in either controller do anything like that so I presume it’s just a quirk of the way they’ve implemented it for this one game.

That blows BP. What’s even weirder is, like, don’t you personally turn all the trigger stuff off? I know you’ve been anti-triggers in the past, was this break during a gaming session or did you just come home and your controller fell off the sofa or something? Anyways here’s a WILD story, y’all, life is tough out there for a gamer lmao https://twitter.com/_beeev/status/1352410396498526208?s=21

The PS5 is probably already due for a hardware refresh since the bottom RAM modules run at something like 95C under load. I imagine there's gonna be a lot of memory failures by this time next year.

Cardiovorax posted:Seriously? Because that's a crazy temperature for any computer hardware to reach, even dedicated graphics cards. If any given component reaches more than 80C under load, something is seriously wrong, and usually RAM doesn't get hot enough to even merit its own cooling. Something is seriously wrong with that. Ah I see you have not yet experienced the glory of a Ryzen processor. But yes, it is a serious issue. The bottom two memory modules do not actually make contact with the PS5's heatsink, causing them to run extremely hot.

The only game that pushes my PS5 to anything approaching that temp is Miles Morales, a game I have completely given up on until I get a patch. Unlike my 30 Cyberpunk 2077 crashes, literally all of my last 4 Spider-Sessions have ended with the game completely locking up my console and causing it to scream in mechanical anguish until I power cycle it. There is a huge ongoing Reddit thread with posts as recently as a week ago talking about this. Demon’s Souls, Sushi Ghost, 2077, none of these do anything even half as intense to my console, just Spider-Man.

Yeah, it doesn't really work like that. If the plastic of the outer cover was in contact with the components at this temperature range, it would be hot enough to mold it with your fingers.

My PS5 is also fine and makes like no noise except when it does that weird disc spin. I think it crashed once in demon souls (to the main menu) and honestly I’m impressed that the literally 100+ soft crashes on cyberpunk caused no actual problems. My partner wants to get Miles Morales but honestly I’m a bit sketchy about it I’ve got my PS5 vertical on the floor and it’s got a lot of room front and back. No idea if that makes any difference

Sometimes coming back to a game to explore it or take on a deeper level of mastery of its mechanics can not only deepen your appreciation of that game, but also translate over to other games and further your ability to respond and connect to future works. Also sometimes a comforting thing you already understand can build on itself, and so rewatching a favorite movie, rereading a favorite book, or replaying a favorite game can all help you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Going back to a work that you already understand to be an aspect or reflection of yourself gives you the opportunity to explore more difficult personal spaces because you aren't starting from scratch. This is why some people donate their books, and some people keep the books they like on a shelf in their home.

The only reason I don't have every console I've ever owned plugged in and every game at the ready is basically a matter of not having enough space, inputs on my TV, or outlets to plug it all in.
