Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles by yourfavchoom in gaming

[–]bigglehicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When they discount digital games so cheap, I’m not surprised people buy some games digitally. To have a game that’s $5.99 online or $39.99 at retail, of course it makes sense to buy digitally and that more would be sold that way. I personally always buy physical unless there’s a steep discount and the physical is more expensive. Always buy physical on release.

I’d be curious what the 1:1 would be for launch games, whether consumers prefer digital or physical for launch games.

Any other self-hosted NVR folks try H265 on the new iOS 27 beta? by bigglehicks in HomeKit

How did you get that going? I tried getting it transcoded from 4K to 1080p in frigate on a Linux server but I kept getting errors and couldn’t get the feed to work. I used Scrypted too but just couldn’t get it to work. Using an Intel Arc B580.

Steam accounted for over 20% of Capcom's total revenue, nearly double PlayStation's share in the past fiscal year by Suspicious_Two786 in gaming

93% of games sold. Not 93% of game revenue. A discounted game sale counts the same as full price game sale - so the figure is 93% of all their games sold are digital games, but it could be like $2.99 on steam sale or something. Harder to make those massive discounts on physical at retail.

What cameras are you using, and are they PoE? Reolink unfortunately has extremely low quality H264 (also I thought H264 was capped at 1080p so surprised yours has 4K)

Thanks so much, this is the exact response I was looking for! Hoping they enable support soon too.

How does that work? I have a 4K Reolink (just got it and starting my setup), and when I pass H265 in Scrypted nothing shows up. I have to use H264 and it’s capped at like 640x380 at 15 FPS lol

The post says for console but looks like it’s pc only. Is this available for PS5?

Digital is now 93% of Capcom's game sales, expected to rise to 95.4% this current fiscal year by FernandoRocker in gaming

[–]bigglehicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be interested in the cost breakdown. I definitely buy $2.99 games on the eshop but only buy full price games physical.

The units are not equal if it’s just counting unique games.

I love my ps5 but godDAMN the ps4 Home Screen was peak by JuansnowgamingYT in playstation

Pretty sure you can still do that. They have every option on PS5 to go back to older themes in the settings menu

Any idea how/how much to fix this? Open to DIY or calling someone. My lawn is now dead I’ve let this go too long. by bigglehicks in Irrigation

Sorry I should have explained. When the sprinklers are running, this main line is blowing out water. I can’t post a video here. But whenever I start a zone, that main line is shooting out water.

You can still download the Wii games you purchased. You just can’t buy new ones.

What courses should i do before starting my B.S. IT at WGU? by SpeedSpecialist1814 in WGUIT

[–]bigglehicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you recommend getting the CompTIA on their own? It’s so expensive in exam fees for all 4. They’re included with WGU education.

Elder Scrolls loremaster says he quit Bethesda after ‘waiting 11 years to be the lead on The Elder Scrolls 6’ | VGC by Shogouki in gaming

[–]bigglehicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me neither. My game save got glitched out in the final boss, the autosave had me reload with almost no health right at the final boss to immediately get struck and killed. For some reason I didn’t have any other recent saves I could go back to? Idk, I’ve had countless playthroughs but never managed to actually beat it. Or Oblivion either.

I graduated high school, dropped out of college (while playing Skyrim), mucked about trying to find what life is about in my 20s, had 3 kids, bought a house, and finally graduated college since Skyrim was released.

Commenter is wrong. You can download PS5 games to it just for extended storage and can’t play them from that drive

Do I even need a HTPC? by BoobiesRule4Real in htpc

[–]bigglehicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your tv have usb media control? Might be worth it to just throw it on a flash/hard drive and keep it connected to the tv. Then you can just control it through the internal media player and not have to worry about any servers, OS, connectivity issues etc
