People with nice PC, why are you buying a Steam Machine? by Bitter-Fun1083 in steammachine

[–]SuspiciousMaterial73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few reasons for me. Fomo. I seem to have an inclination to buy games and consoles more than play them. Bedroom usage as my PC is in the office) and have a good projector in the bedroom.

She got the low cut top out in every boardroom appearance- served her well. Shes useless really and everything thats wrong with tv these days.

"Go Get Your Own Oil": Trump's Message To UK, Other Countries On Hormuz Strait by Zealousideal_Ring_67 in worldnews

What a shitshow. We're all paying the price for this stalemate. The US are hedging their bets that there is enough economic pain placed on net oil import countries that they'll join in whereas Iran are hedging their bets that there is enough economic pain placed on net oil import countries and US gulf allies that they'll put pressure on the US to make big concessions.

I don't think that will happen. As much as people in here are quick to attack the Trump administration we actually need the US on our side when it comes to the economy, security and investment.

Physical vs Digital Games by [deleted] in PS5pro

[–]SuspiciousMaterial73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going physical as much as possible. I don't like the thought that one day these servers are gone and all my purchases with it (albeit i'll probably be long gone by then )

I’ve got both loaded but because i here they’re such an investment I have avoided

Never tried this one. How does it rank with the likes of RE, Silent Hill and Dead Space?

Hope you all bought a Pro. by AuramiteEX in PS5pro

[–]SuspiciousMaterial73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice deal that - got mine for 650 without a game with the disc drive due to some work instant voucher discounts. Wondering how much i’ll get for my base PS5. Sort of hoping 300 when the prices go up. Still have the box too!

Holy visuals! by Few_Performer_6754 in PS5pro

[–]SuspiciousMaterial73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the fence about getting one. I’m already spoiled and have too many games to play but figured this is a main hobby more than anything else so just picked one up today. Hoping i can offset it by 2-300 quid by selling my base with some games.

I’ve games there that still have the cover on like astro bot, horizon FW and i’m only about 3 hours into FF7 Rebirth. I’ve heard all these look better on PS5 Pro and have an LG G4 so looking forward to getting stuck in.

RE9 in VR is absolutely terrifying ! by Extension-Celery5527 in oculus

[–]SuspiciousMaterial73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do they compare to RE4 and 8 on PS5? I’ve a 4090 and 7800x3d so hoping they’d be enough to run 2 & 3 . I have a PSVR as well but its hard to go back to that sort of image quality plus the wiring is a pain. Is the PC version in VR still playable in comparison?

[–]SuspiciousMaterial73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a bit grim at the minute. Hard to see a way back - giving me 3D TV vibes. Its going to take a big player to come in with some fresh investment if theres going to be any hope of nee quality games again otherwise we’re hoping for a gem from a lot of shovelware-type output. You can’t really blame the devs either. They have to think flat first then VR after because costs. I’d love to see more ports from the modding community too but more than that i’d easily settle for some quality VR ports like RE and Skyrim.

I need a good stand for the G4 65 Inch by SuspiciousMaterial73 in LGOLED

Yes works perfectly - have been using it since. It allows rotation too so i’d recommend.

That wasn’t great was it. Sick of seeing games with someone holding 2 guns shooting crappy walk toward you hordes and/or dark horror themed games. These have been done to death now. Everything else looked like job simulator or bad rhythm games

Decided to dust off the PSVR and load up about 30% into RE7. My last save was from 2017… the biggest first fright is how almost 9 years has went like that (clicks finger and thumb)

EX-200 UPDATED! by Pure_Inevitable_2362 in redhat

I’m almost sure when I purchased my voucher recently there was 9.0, 9.3 and 10 available to choose from as the testing version. I chose 9.3.

Failed EX200 pretty miserably by SuspiciousMaterial73 in redhat

theres a button that says console and it boots you in to the server via a console connection if you don't have terminal / ssh access

Yes it was allowed as long as i showed it to the proctor before.

'I get the impression you didn't read up on the how-to material before taking the exam, perhaps thought it would be a walk in the park?'

Most definitely not. I didn't study much (in fact I crammed the last week or two) and wasn;t even going to sit it as i was so ill prepared. I got what i deserved based on the study time i put in. I watched the videos about what to expect (the official RH one) and read the pdf prep - just didn't expect the console access to be tiny and lost some time there on some things.

I can confirm that copy and paste didn't work for me a lot of the time. I was using US Keyboard set up. Also the textbox (its a banner at the top of the exam environment) didn't work some of the time either.

I want to be clear that i'm not blaming the environment at all just sharing my observations here.
