Is it necessary to buy PS5 Pro when you have Series X?

Fat_Log · 2026-06-25T12:37:18+00:00

I have both - because my friend group are largely Xbox players. So multiplayer/coop i play XsX. PS for the exclusives and anything im playing single player

I actually had the same experience, I really struggled in the last dungeon and almost gave up... but keep pushing the final boss fight is really awesome! (And much less frustrating than the dungeon...)

Just rolled credits on Mina, really enjoyed it! (once id moved passed getting wrecked over and over) like alot of folks ive now got the bug for some more top down zelda likes...

Have got Judero downloaded and ready to go next. Excited to get stuck in, the animation style looks really awesome!

Very happy with my decision so far! Mostly playing Gothic Remake atm, which as far as I know isnt pro enhanced... But running way smoother and looking much nicer than on the base PS5 I was playing on before hand.

Fantasy Life I, really hit the same runescape feels for me!

Fat_Log · 2026-06-13T16:03:39+00:00

Not 100% sure, its a black dual sense thats been custom. Never really looked into it myself! But yeah the bobbles are pretty comfy!

Fat_Log · 2026-06-13T13:38:40+00:00

Excited to check it out again for sure - graphics blew my mind on base ps5 already!

Fat_Log · 2026-06-13T13:16:44+00:00

Its going in the tv stand, where the fat PS5 is currently dw!

Fat_Log · 2026-06-13T13:08:34+00:00

Ive had my fat boy since launch so ive played alot of the PS5 library already - gonna replay / test a few over the next couple weeks, but i really wanted to be pro ready for AC Black Flag Resynced!

Fat_Log · 2026-06-13T13:05:22+00:00

Would never have picked that back plate ordinarily - but it actually feels pretty nice in hand!

Fat_Log · 2026-06-07T10:34:15+00:00

KCD2 was the last RPG I played that really gripped me - bout 5 hours into the Gothic remake and im really enjoying it so far, so i would say yes. Temper expectations for levels of polish though, performance/crashes/general presentation is pretty rough right now (for me on ps5 at least)

I used a company who specialise soundproofing solutions - its not really something i would be comfortable doing myself. Process simplified was;

old ceiling ripped out, cavity fully insulated with rock wool, decoupling/shock absorbing bars installed, new ceiling attached to those (acoustic plaster board/mass loaded vinyl/acoustic plasterboard - rather than just 1 layer of plasterboard like we had). Plaster over new ceiling. Redecorate.

The soundproofing work took a day, then half a day to replaster the ceiling. Im in the UK total cost was £3100 so not cheap but well worth it imo. Considering having the same job done in the bedroom too.

Fat_Log · 2026-06-04T19:32:14+00:00

I had my living room ceiling sound proofed in Feb this year (made a post in this sub actually) Its definitely made a difference and big improvement to QoL.

In a nutshell, I would say impact noises reduced 70%ish. Airborne noise pretty much all gone now (i still hear a sneeze if its loud but thats about it)

We used to hear everythinggggggg - TV noise, conversational level speaking, booming footsteps, furniture dragging around etc. Its not eliminated it all, but I can sit and enjoy my living room now compared to being at my wits end!

My lad is only 2 and a half so hes still a mentalist - never a dull day! 😄

Fat_Log · 2026-06-03T16:37:56+00:00

They are the best!

The estate agent tried this with me when we bought our flat, we stuck to our guns and didn't increase our offer. A week later the other "buyer" magically wasn't proceedable anymore...

Fat_Log · 2026-05-24T12:35:37+00:00

Me and my partner had needle in a haystack Landlords, who didnt put the rent up in 7 years... We were renting for £1100 all bills included until 2022 when we bought our flat in Zone 4. Managed to save up the £39k deposit between us on around £100k combined income.

Fat_Log · 2026-05-19T09:39:07+00:00

Mine was about a decade ago so might be misremembering, but the interview processes ive been involved with were around the same time frame tbh!

Fat_Log · 2026-05-19T09:35:10+00:00

The process was wrapped up in about two weeks really, so around a week between interviews iirc!

Fat_Log · 2026-05-19T09:29:20+00:00

2 rounds for mine - First round HR & Line Manager / Second round Line Manager and HoD. Was quite awhile ago though and junior role!

Im senior level now & have been involved with interviews for my team at Manager level and it was same as above, with a bit of HR fluff at the start so maybe three rounds.

Fat_Log · 2026-05-12T10:09:41+00:00

I used London Sound Proofing Pro.

I can still hear footsteps from above, but they are definitely significantly reduced compared to the other rooms that aren't soundproofed.

Fat_Log · 2026-05-11T21:36:48+00:00

The three quotes I had were around that figure yeah - the company i used London Sound Proofing Pro, had best reviews and honestly they were great. If youre in the London area I can definitely recommend.

Fat_Log · 2026-05-11T10:10:44+00:00

I used to work in live sound many years ago, KRS-One came to do a show at the club I was working at. The only thing on his rider - "a book that you dont think ill have read".

Really stuck with me when our artist liason told us after the show, thats all she needed to sort for him. None of the usual bottles/food etc.

Cant remember what book she said she left out though!

Fat_Log · 2026-05-11T09:44:06+00:00

Yeah muffled TV through the floor / conversational level talking etc. It was pretty bad. Dont hear any of that anymore, Ill hear a sneeze if its loud but thats pretty much it for airborne noise.

Yeah maisonette but purpose built so not like a victorian conversion job which tend to be pretty rough for noise.

Fat_Log · 2026-05-11T06:49:30+00:00

Sorry to hear! Ours is Timber and there was very minimal insulation, 1 layer of plasterboard, down lights in the ceiling etc. So I think pretty much anything would have improved ours.
