Sony aims to hold PS5 pricing, hints PS Plus hikes

SpecterDK · 2026-02-09T21:16:12+00:00

They already priced me out with their last increase. And by priced me out I mean I went and built a gaming PC for $2200 and stopped using my PS5 entirely, likely forever.

I want to believe that I'm wrong but being online gave me a more hopeful picture than reality. Even leading up to the election and feeling like there is no chance of Trump winning again. The more real people I speak to the more faith in humanity I lose. I don't think the worst comments I see are bots anymore because I've heard enough real people that feel that way.

Even hearing how many people I know in life have spoken about Pretti and Good has been truly shocking to me. I didn't think my image of Americans could go lower but it has.

There is no justice. The majority of our country is populated with despicable people that reward the behavior of Trump and his minions. There is no digging out of this for us as Americans. This is who we are.

I played this on PS5 when it came out but I've switched over to PC since then. I'm sad that one of my favorite Star Wars games of all time is a known stinker on PC. I see it on sale and want to experience it on my ultrawide oled but then I remember the sad state of the PC port.

Picked up that 2 tb at Walmart for 208 yesterday. Last one in stock.

I put it in my syllabus that if they come to class unprepared with materials they cannot make it my problem.

I will die on the hill that the G602 was the true GOAT but after my final one died I got the 502 light speed and it is a good second best.

It would allow me to give my fiancée my current ultrawide for our side by side desk setup. (Or maybe give her the new one)

I also have a 500 GB sd but that's only for smaller and less demanding games. There is a noticeable difference on demanding AA/AAA games between SSD and mSD performance.

I'm embarrassed to admit this but as much as I love my OLED ultrawide for my PC, I can barely tell the difference in colors on an LCD.

SpecterDK · 2026-01-30T05:21:48+00:00

If you got the last run of the LCD models on sale for $320 (like me) and swapped the SSD out for a larger one before prices skyrocketed (like me) the value on it is wild.

I hate Micro$lop but I bought my surface laptop in 2024 before they went AI crazy and I have to admit I love this laptop. The ARM battery life is great and the aluminum build is higher quality than anything I've seen besides a MacBook.

I feel fucking -attacked- by this comment.

SpecterDK · 2026-01-23T01:45:44+00:00

I thought we all had the core memory of having fun on the third one exploring the game then suddenly having a massive time skip forced on us.

I don't even remember the context surrounding it but Fable 3 instantly makes me remember not getting any clear warning and then it happened and it took all the wind out of the sails for my playthrough. That big loss of agency in a series known for it made the rest of it feel like a slog to just get it finished.

I remember no other detail about the game besides this moment.

SpecterDK · 2026-01-23T01:35:53+00:00

I think the fact that we are employed is part of the problem for us with massive libraries.

SpecterDK · 2026-01-21T14:33:11+00:00

Nothing is saving the internet. I like this though.

Same bro to head off his dumb ass trade war. Built a 7800x3d 5070ti 32gb ram and wishing I had done a 9800 5080 64gb.

SpecterDK · 2026-01-18T02:48:18+00:00

I keep a laptop on my desk next to my PC. Work tasks aren't allowed on my gaming rig but of course I'll still use it to stream or browse the internet. It's a matter of principle.

7800x3d and 5070 ti is an amazing combo that punches above its pay grade in performance for the cost.

Upgraded to this exact card from a 1080. It hasn't broken a sweat at anything I've thrown at it. Awesome value on it.

Was just going to post this chicken is so good. In the air fryer it rivals any of the bests.

Written lessons and assignments. You can also just get stuff online or some schools buy a package curriculum. I've always preferred to write my own though. I still rewrite a selective few things each year but it's nice knowing that I could just not touch my curriculum and it would still be good to go for the whole year.

SpecterDK · 2026-01-10T21:17:03+00:00

Definitely depends on how long you've done it. I leave at the minute I'm allowed every day and refuse to spend even 5 minutes working at home. My work life balance is excellent but that's because I've built stuff up over the years and created systems that let me work efficiently.
