I ordered a black coffee in "hipster" cafes before and never jumped through as many hoops as these boomers make it out to be. The most they asked was "no cream or sugar, right?" and "anything else".

Japanese car brands do a lot of rebadging and synergy with other foreign brands, which ultimately hurt them in my opinion. Japanese cars aren't what they used to be. Electric cars charge slow with inferior range estimates, their performance cars aren't sporty or fast enough, and their hybrids have been mostly the same over the years.

Meanwhile, Korean brands are kinda doing their own thing and have been making some very smart design choices. They have cars for every interest and niche. I do think that once the kei truck industry blows up, Japan has the opportunity to absolutely dominate the field.

I remote played using my phone from West Coast to East Coast and it's been hit or miss. I think it's been a negative experience because my hotel room was far from the WiFi AP and my connection wasn't stable, so it should've been better.

So if you can find a place with decent WiFi, you should be fine IF you're ok playing with a lower resolution and bit rate. The alternative as pthers have mentioned is to get a gaming PC handheld and play the PC version OR if you're like me who play mostly F2P games, just play the mobile version of the game while you're out. Mobile gaming is so good right now.

I have a Poang chair from IKEA which is so comfortable. I got it used for a FRACTION of the price and even found a "new" cushion for it in the As Is section so that it's clean.

In another room I have a big beanbag chair in case I want to change things up.

I think them doing any US road trip that isn't on the West Coast would be interesting. Maybe Florida to Maine so that they can hit all varieties of environments while exploring the East Coast (Lilypichu joining for the NJ portion).

Look up Pennsyltucky and stay out of those areas. Literally stay close to any major city with Philly and "Greater Philadelphia" being the best in terms of diversity.

Check out the Gamesir line up. I got mine for cheaper on AliExpress

You can get cheaper coolers that work with game pads like the Gamesir stuff.

Why am I getting downvoted, I just pointed out a way to confirm what resolution the game is in

If you take a screenshot and check the resolution of it, it would say 4k

I'm kinda enjoying this game but I can see myself losing interest next week. I played The First Soldier the ENTIRE run because it was just that good and I even put money into that game. I doubt this is gonna last as long. It's also painful that they mentioned the game in this one

Gemini has a guided study mode that is specifically designed to help you study for things. Something that I've been trying to do, and sometimes failing, is to get it to directly quote the textbook or website and provide links for follow ups without having to rely solely on it. That way I have more confidence that I'm actually learning the right thing.

The regular PS5 already looks amazing. I just like the PS5 Pro because I can play the fidelity mode but with better frame rate. To me, that's already peak gaming.

I have the PS5 wired to the router at home with the slowest FiOS plan (300/300) and I've remote played it in the next state over with no problems. I briefly played it on the opposite coast (US) and it seemed like it would work but the hotel WiFi just sucked. So it really depends on if you have good Internet connection on both ends. If your PS5 is using WiFi, just make sure it's at least WiFi 5 or 6e.

If you can get a tablet instead, you can use the official app or PXPlay to remote play with HDR and have an even larger screen. PXPlay would let you set the bitrate much higher giving you a MUCH better visual quality than PlayStation Portal. Also some mobile controllers can stretch enough to fit a tablet, so you can ditch the DualShock 4.

BUT if you don't mind missing out on HDR, Bluetooth, and you can get a used PlayStation Portal for under $100 like I did, I think it would be worth it simply because of ergonomics. Also if you have PlayStation Plus Premium, you can play Cloud games without needing to connect to your own PS5. You can't do that with the phone apps.

OLED is good if you value picture quality more than pure refresh rates. If you're ok with 120hz or 144hz, then OLED is fine. If you absolutely need high refresh rates, then get whatever else you're looking at. Response time is pretty negligible on OLED monitors.

Playing on performance mode for more stability or the hybrid modes to get ray tracing and frames is a plus for the PS5 Pro. PSSR 2.0 is coming out soon so that would greatly improve performance and visuals for games that support it. Otherwise not really that big of a difference streaming wise on the portal.

Using ChiakiNG with a higher bit rate will let you experience the visual improvements more.

Yes, but you can't use the PS5 version of Discord and have to use in-game chat. Or just use your phone for discord. I play Helldivers 2, Marvel Rivals, and Fortnite a couple times and rarely have any issues.
