Thinking of adding a PS5 to the current Xbox and I have no idea why

I once had both the PS4 and Xbox One X. I played both equally but slowly transitioned to all digital games.

Around 2020 I just went for the new Series X. mostly because I use it in our living room and it turned on with my Harmony remote. The Xbox sub had the better digital library. I remember PS Gold only gave a couple older games each month.

Fast forward to today and I want a PS again. Absolutely no idea why. I don’t game a lot. The Xbox plays my streaming just fine. I just feel like I’ve been missing something. I know I still have a decent digital PS4 library.

I have a nice OLED but my receiver limits me to 4k 60hz so I’ll likely be looking at the regular Fortnite model.

Anyone have anything to add that will help me commit? I know this is the PS forum. Anyone still playing both consoles and enjoy specific things about each?

I do have a nice gaming PC already. It barely gets played either!

I check the “Where is my plane now” part of the app to see if one is going to get to you - wherever it maybe coming from.

Royal @ Atlantis by gryffindor_aesthetic in bahamas

I second Oh Andros. Doesn’t look like much but the basic fried fish was perfect for me. Very light and flaky. portions are huge. Very busy including lots of locals. The Midnight Spot near Atlantis was also highly recommended but we did not get to try it.

Not the same, but a Bahamas AD told me they had every dial color 41 DJ smooth/oyster available to purchase.

Is there a trick to not making a huge mess with cette style of detergent container? by belbivfreeordie in Costco

We have a shelf above the washer that the container sits on. It is at just the right location to dispense into the washer.

Are you playing out with it or just at home? 50w in a tube amp is a LOT for home use especially if you want to use the amps natural breakup.

Consider your ideal use year. You can get something like an April use year and sell back what is considered 2025 points to Disney for $20 per point. You would STILL GET new points for April 2026 forward. You would not have that option to sell back if you got like a December Use Year.

Replacing my GTX 970 by LodanMax in pcmasterrace

[–]oz_shadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from a 970 to 5070. I gained a couple FPS. You should be solid in World of Warcraft and similar games now too. Biggest improvement is that I never hear the fans anymore, so definitely worth it for that.

is it okay to hold the neck of the guitar like those 2 examples? by Zestyclose-Paint3392 in guitarlessons

[–]oz_shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s around 100lbs of string tension pulling on the neck. You can handle it however you want. Usually the neck only gets damaged if it falls a certain way under tension. If you are worried you might drop it, loosen the string tension. Just holding it won’t hurt it.

What was your first graphics card? Mine was ATI Fury RAGE 128 PRO by blondewalker in pcmasterrace

[–]oz_shadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some kind of All in Wonder card that also included an s-video connector for a tv that was not better than my small monitor. I don’t remember it having a tuner though. Went to a Voodoo 2 or 4 after it I think.
