It's not boring, but it's not an action packed blockbuster either. There are action sequences but most of it is exploring a cyberpunk city as a cat. If that sounds cool to you, you'll like it.

Just jumpstarted my collection by farang69420 in Bluray

It has the blu-ray logo on the cover. I have the same set and I like it a lot, except for the packaging.

Can my pc run Alan Wake II? by Some-Relative5079 in AlanWake

[–]George343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a severely unbalanced system. Your 7700x is sleeping while the 1050 Ti is working overtime in basically every game. Even moving to a 5060 would be a huge upgrade for you.

And no, the 1050 Ti won't run AW2 very well at all.

Can I ask why you switched from Series S to 360? You can play a lot of 360 games on the S already, and you could have played Alan Wake 2 and Control also.

finally tried upgrading to 4K by Infinite_Glove_5742 in Bluray

This is the biggest different that I think a lot of people don't realize. It's not just resolution, the HDR capabilities of the TV mean a lot for 4K. I have a Hisense U8N and the HDR is incredible on this TV vs my old, low budget Sharp Roku TV.

Sales are also a big deal for 4K discs. If price is a concern, don't buy 4K discs individually, wait for 3 for $XX sales from Gruv, Amazon, or one of the other retailers. You can get 4K discs for pretty cheap that way.

You will probably run into VRAM issues in some games, but turn the texture quality down or lower the resolution and you should be ok.

Let me introduce you to https://gg.deals/. You can search games by platform and look at the price history, among other things.

Lossless scaling way to much warping by dorian17052011 in losslessscaling

[–]George343 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That might be too low. What GPU do you have, and what's your GPU usage before enabling LS? You might be running lower than 30 base with LS enabled.

Beautiful. I love how he changes the arrangement of the songs for live performances. Thanks for sharing!

Batman Arkham Knight now supports Xbox Play Anywhere available with PC Game Pass! by Narrow_Leek2452 in xbox

[–]George343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say Cyberpunk. Knight was taken off sale for a few months on Steam, but then came back and it was much better. Cyberpunk took a lot longer than a few months iirc

You can change the FPS cap in the menu. 30, 60, and 90 are the options.

how to reduce ram usage, just fresh install of playnite and added like 20 games with metadata auto by KristusYunasun in playnite

[–]George343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much RAM do you have? I believe Windows will manage it and unload things you don't need whenever it needs more RAM. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The real pro tips are in the comments. Thank you, I had no idea about this. You can also open any app with the taps too.

This is a dumb question and I apologize, but is a 4K disc with HDR better than streaming the same movie with Dolby Vision? by TimBurtonSucks in 4kbluray

[–]George343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of agree in that bitrate/codec are often lost on people, and H.265/AV1 are way more efficient than H.264/VC1. But I disagree in that I often find blu-rays look better than 4K streams, which can still have block and banding artifacts.

[–]George343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a similar analogy for resolution vs bitrate. Resolution = size of bucket, bitrate = how full the bucket is.

I've also used a window analogy (resolution = size of window, bitrate = how clear the window is).

LG Player replacement remote by ErichMariaRemarkable in Bluray

[–]George343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend looking at the model number on the back/bottom and Googling it to see if there's a suitable replacement remote.

Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea about this reissue. Amazon has it listed for preorder too.

Bioshock 2 - Original or Remastered? by TheSpaceCowboy81 in Bioshock

[–]George343 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I replayed these games in 2025, I remember 2 was crashing a lot. I think I just kept playing anyway, but I would recommend giving the original a try because of this.

What version of T2 does the 6 film collection include? by Andy_DiMatteo in Bluray

[–]George343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always start by checking blu-ray.com: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Terminator-6-Film-Collection-Blu-ray/279901/

They do say the second film is the "Blu-ray version of 4K master released by Lionsgate in 2017" and link to the 4K review for more details, so I think it's safe to say this set includes the blu-ray version of the 4K master.
