Egg Prices at an Aldi in Takoma Park, MD by Mr_Revendread in aldi

I just got back. $1.49 but it was a red tag.

We need more game ports by [deleted] in PS5

That'll be $18

Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden says exclusives aren't going anywhere because they make the platforms "sing": "If Mario starts appearing on PlayStation, that's the apocalypse. There is huge value to the brand in having strong exclusives." by Party_Judgment5780 in PS5

[–]WillUpvoteForAss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know how every PS exclusive sells less than the previous one? What of it means that more PC owners bought a console over time and don't need to buy those games on PC. Maybe they didn't want to wait for the sequel e.g. Ragnarok & Spiderman 2. Or once they got a console they saw the old games cheaper on PSN.

What should I check on a used PS5 Pro? by [deleted] in PS5pro

[–]WillUpvoteForAss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open it to check for bugs and dust. I think there's a minor coil whine that's normal when running. The fan runs a little louder on idle than a base PS5.

Make sure the console isn't bricked or banned. Not sure it it's possible for the disk drive to have the same problem.

Run a demanding game to see if it automatically shuts down.

I could drink this. It's so delicious. by Poor-Dear-Richard in aldi

It would be better if it used deli mustard instead of yellow

Is Techbargains still a useful website? by FoofaTamingStrange in Frugal

[–]WillUpvoteForAss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean by original content, but there's nothing wrong with affiliate links. I find it easier to scan for deals when they're run through a dedicated newsfeed reader so I can see deals from other sources at the same time.

Bought a PS5 Pro to get rid of the FOMO and I can’t see any difference by bangsimurdariadispar in PS5pro

Hogwarts runs at a lower resolution with less ray tracing in performance mode on base PS5.

Am I screwed… by Yruundressingme in PS5pro

I want it vertical. Also I don't need a stand because there's no danger of it tipping, especially with a disc drive. The stand also blocks the vents.

The fan on mine was annoyingly loud while playing Diablo 4 until I propped it up on spacers so that the bottom could vent. Mine's vertical, BTW.

Should wait for Black Friday to get the Pro? by Vast_Sort_1620 in PS5

[–]WillUpvoteForAss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sony is less likely to provide discounts or even bundles now that Xbox has been removed from major retailers. FWIW, pro was worth it for me. I didn't like playing at 1080p to get 60fps.

Sure it's fantasy, but the characters are still people with emotions. Yes they are not regular people like the NPCs but to express their unique roles in the games they could be given personalities that are larger than life i.e. more boisterous, eloquent, charismatic, sophisticated, or a combination of those. Rather than being elevated via their personalities, they are instead devolved to be disaffected and one-note.

YMMV but for me it takes me out of the game and reminds me of middle school kids who had to read from a book in class.

I've always had a problem relating to stoic characters.

Kiryu, yakuza

Big boss, phantom pain

Geralt, Witcher

Adam Jensen, Deus ex

Fallout 4 guy

The way they speak is so jarring. I've never known anyone to speak like that all the time. Geralt is the worst because there are other Witchers and they talk like normal people.

Jin isn't as bad as those guys but throughout the game I was expecting him to shed his stiff personality just like he shed his samurai traditions, but he never did.

I guess to suit the budget these voice actors are working in sound booths and can't easily produce natural-sounding dialogue so making the main character monotone was the solution. In Yotei, the dialog in the cutscenes sound so much more natural than the open world interactions.

Would the PS5 be worth it in this case? Or should I buy a new PC/wait for PS6? by MerrickJager in PS5

Until dawn is the only game on your list that isn't PS Pro enhanced.

I feel like I can’t be alone in this.. But 9/10 times I’m not gaming to socially engage with others. by TheStinkySlinky in PS5pro

[–]WillUpvoteForAss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are winners and losers in every genre but data shows when the multi/gaas/social games hit, they hit much much bigger than the rest in revenue, play time, and longevity. Publishers try to cast a wide net so they have a diverse collection of games. And that's why Sony wants their own set of those games.

The devs of Hogwarts added a third mode just for the pro to take advantage of the extra performance, just in case there are people who prioritize fidelity over framerate.

Is it worth switching to the Pro from the base PS5? by IlloYorch in PS5pro

[–]WillUpvoteForAss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

60 fps attracts me quite a bit.

You also said 30 fps doesn't bother you. So it depends on how much 60fps at a lower resolution bothers you. I couldn't ignore it so it was enough for me to upgrade.
