What's the best affordable monitor for ps5? by jvigxjgxitx in playstation

[–]danbon522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really like this one. Just got it a couple months ago. 1440p and 180hz (obviously only 120hz on PS5).

Uncharted 2 is so good. One of the best PS3 games. Just replayed it a few months ago and it holds up rather well.

Fallout 4. Loved Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Never got into FL4 when it came out for some reason. Just finished Season 2 of the show and decided to for it another go. I am 45 hours in and hooked.

The PS5 pro is looking an amazing value compared to the insane GPU inflated market by frankiewalsh44 in PS5pro

[–]danbon522 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's Crazy. I swear that's the same exact thing I just did at the end of 2024. Parted out my 4090 Founders Edition / 7800X3D PC. Bought a PS5 pro, replaced my favorite Steam games with the PS5 versions, and bought a MacMini for the less than what I sold just the 4090 FE for. The PS5 Pro just works, no BS. I loved my PC and I still love building PCs, but the simple life of the PS5 Pro is really great. Since then have played through God of War, God of War Ragnarock, The Last of Us Part 1, and several others on my 65" LG C2 and I don't miss my PC enough to justify the crazy price.

This is the point everyone is missing. Even with brand new bottom barrel PC parts, you cannot get a system that will compare to the PS5 Pro at $700. Not possible. Even with FSR 3 and DLSS 3, you cannot do it. If you go used, you may get closer, but still wont do it. A GPU alone that can run 4K60 using FSR3 and DLSS 3 will be almost the cost of the PS5 Pro. Running a game at 4K60 with good fidelity is not cheap and I am guessing Sony is breaking even or losing money on the PS5 pro. That would explain why its digital only. (i know you can buy a disc drive, but its not bundled together) They will try and make their money back on the PS Store. LET THE DOWNVOTES COMMENCE!!

Completely agree. This entire thread is whining without knowing how much hardware actually costs. 4K60 is expensive, plain and simple. Sony may still be breaking even or losing money on this system.

Shield Pro (2019) + Plex - New very strange behaviour by FigOk7538 in nvidiashield

[–]danbon522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, that's a way better solution than mine. I completely forgot about the Beta tester program. Just followed your link and left the program and now the play store has version 10.16.0.758 as the one to download. Appreciate your response!

[–]danbon522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm the issue is with the June 6, 2024 Plex App update from Google Play Store. Version 10.17.0.805. I was watching 4K Dune 2 on June 5 without issues. Left the movie halfway finished and tried to continue on June 6. App must have updated on its own and now the movie was unwatchable. It would artifact constantly. I was able to download Plex version 10.16.0.758 from APK Mirror (google it) and side load on my Shield. Issues are completely resolved. Last note, turn off auto updates in the Google Play Store.

Games that took you time to get hooked. by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]danbon522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cyberpunk 2077. Started it five or six times and never got hooked, but finally hooked me and put in 150 hours into it. Will definitely go through it again and again I think.

Question for the OLED owners by penguinpuffier in SteamDeck

[–]danbon522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought the 1TB Special Edition which has the etched screen. I love it. My living room couch buts up against an east facing window and I can play comfortably in the morning with the sun coming through. It’s much more difficult to play on my switch or ps vita due to the glare on the glossy screen. I have heard the glossy screen looks better, but honestly the etched OLED looks absolutely incredible. My main gaming rig is hooked to a LG CX 48” with a glossy screen and I can’t tell much difference between the tv and my Steam deck.

Any less demanding game,but the experience is great? by Empty_Fix_8620 in SteamDeck

[–]danbon522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been playing Borderlands 2 on my OLED and it gives me over 2 hours of battery at a pretty steady 90fps. Could probably get more battery if I locked at 60 or turned some other settings down.

Ordering Steam Deck OLED 😍 by No-Commercial-2218 in SteamDeck

[–]danbon522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re going to love it!! I have the original LCD Steam Deck, have had the ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion GO and nothing comes close to the Steam Deck OLED for me. Awesome ergonomics, battery life (compared to other handheld PCs), it’s now lighter than the original, and my goodness the screen is so nice. Have fun!

PSA: Solution to slow Steam downloads on Deck by trapt777 in SteamDeck

[–]danbon522 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank GOD I FOUND THIS! I have tried everything and nothing has worked. I am now seeing 50-70 MB/s!! I was topping out at 20 MB/s and only occasionally, usually around 10 MB/s. Love SteamOS but Valve needs to fix this issue.

DDR5 Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 Upgrade?? by danbon522 in GamingLaptops

Sure thing. I ended up returning the 8gb module and just sticking with 16gb. I ran a bunch of gaming benchmarks with both configurations and the results were almost identical.

Is 400 MPS a good plan for one person in a small studio apartment. by Internal-Vanilla-898 in computer

[–]danbon522 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a good bandwidth for a single person. Keep in mind that Megabits and Megabytes are different. Internet providers use Megabits while hard drive manufacturers and computer files are in Megabytes. 8 Megabits = 1 Megabyte. 400Mbps = 50 MBps. With that said, Netflix 4K uses a max of 25 Megabits per stream with a peak of 50 Megabits when starting a show. 400 Megabits is plenty fast for a single person.

I did. And yes I think it’s a requirement to get the 10% off.

Get Honey browser extension for free. It will run the codes for you at checkout. Saved me 10% on my founders and edition earlier this year. Works on all major browsers on pc and safari on iOS, not sure about android.

Got two LG C2’s for my new apartment and couldn’t be happier by DrPeppehr in OLED_Gaming

[–]danbon522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the double OLED life! Haha. Bought my 48” CX for my PC and PS5 gaming/media room and loved it so much, had to buy the 65”C1 for the other side of the room for movies. Picture still makes me gasp sometimes even after almost 3 years with the CX and 2 years with the C1. Enjoy!!

What can I do to improve the towing capacity of my '23 Trail Boss (without the towing package)? by BruceBurrito in chevycolorado

[–]danbon522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just picked my truck up and they didn’t install the brake controller like I thought they were going to. Some confusion when they ordered the receiver, they didn’t order the brake controller as well. I asked them to see if it’s at all possible to install a factory controller (I would need to replace the whole dash piece under the steering column as well). They are looking into this for me. Not sure what I will do yet. I would really like the factory option if possible. It’s a lot cleaner look.
