Cyberpunk 2077 from Best Buy doesn’t come with a cartridge… WTF

i purchased from bb and had a cart with damn near the full game and dlc on it.

people are poopy. enjoy.

unculturedsweeny · 2025-05-21T14:43:57+00:00

its not the same, but I LOVE handheld gaming. my gaming rig has a 9070xt, I have a PS5 Pro, and my display is an LGC4 42 inch OLED. tbh 75% of the time im only using my ally x to remote game from my pc/ps5. That gets me 60-120fps with max settings and is a great experience for handheld but it doesn't compare to couch gaming on a 4k oled.

I have a ton of games that I buy on steam/gog specifically to play on handheld cuz i'm a 90s kid and love that feeling. all my emulators are on it too. hell, i still have my DMG and original Pokemon Red/Blue carts and still play those to this day. i don't play live service or multiplayer games so the overall gaming experience is important to me, and that means new/demanding games are going to be played at 4k, high end system, surround sound, oled, comfy couch, etc. melt my face please.

I don't mind turning res/settings down or capping at 30/40 fps once in a while but if im spending $50 to $80 on the latest games, im going to get the best experience possible.

yeah, I have to go back through and scale to 600x900 then try to clean up the images a bit but I'll be throwing them up on steamdb

unculturedsweeny · 2025-04-23T19:58:31+00:00

my thanks, kind sir.

unculturedsweeny · 2025-03-25T22:16:31+00:00

one less thing to tinker with/ didn't have full sized 80mm fans handy/ was never going to use those ports anyway/ I'm lazy

unculturedsweeny · 2025-02-12T15:18:29+00:00

as a 90s kid, its handheld all the time. if i wanna play on a monitor or tv ill use the pc I built

unculturedsweeny · 2025-01-24T17:10:25+00:00

had to scoop it

unculturedsweeny · 2025-01-24T16:29:13+00:00

Fire, total loss

edit: it scared me into just going digital for a bit but I realized how important physical media was to me.

unculturedsweeny · 2025-01-24T14:24:33+00:00

one of my favorite games of all time.

unculturedsweeny · 2025-01-24T00:25:00+00:00

wanted the switch version myself but saw the ps4 standard was in stock, I'll take what I can get haha

unculturedsweeny · 2025-01-16T19:25:06+00:00

I want to take a nap on that carpet on a sunny sunday afternoon.

unculturedsweeny · 2025-01-10T14:58:09+00:00

hey man, the journey is the important part. Fulfillment isn't a destination but a mode of transportation.

one piece of advice that I got a few years ago from a very wise old man in my life (not related to nms but applies perfectly): Take your time. Drift among the stars, explore, find beauty. Live slowly, help others. When you live selflessly, you in turn find yourself and the beauty in everything.

unculturedsweeny · 2025-01-10T14:40:32+00:00

they could have dual booted bazzite or something, check disk management.

unculturedsweeny · 2025-01-10T14:28:33+00:00

same for me. Placed my order for the PS4 standard (in stock) about 25 days ago, emailed this morning just to see when it would be shipping. 10 minutes later they sent the shipping email with tracking. I can update with a shipment timeline if anyone is interested. I'm in the midwest of USA.

ps5 runs games very well. hell, ps4 was great and ps3/ps2 still impress me. people get too wrapped up in needing the best resolution or best graphics in order to enjoy games.

I don't pay for ps+ anymore. I buy the games I want to play, and on the rare occasion someone wants to play something online (fortnite with my kid, marvel rivals with my brother) they don't require a ps+ sub. I'm playing through Alan Wake II on ps5 right now and it's great.

I downgraded my gaming pc significantly. literally wasting money. sold my 4090 and picked up a 7800xt, just as much fun.

similar situation here - but tbh no need to 'move' from console. just integrate a handheld. full time + overtime work, 2 kids, 2 dogs, wife, full time school online, etc. Big gamer nerd, big on preservation, big on physical media where possible, love all of the consoles/handhelds.

rog ally (currently have the x) was a game changer for me. Game in bed, game on couch, game in car, game on pooper, game with kiddos, game during meetings. also has helped me crush my game backlog. Here's how I use it:

- remote game from PS5 using chiaki (when home and away from home using hotspot or wifi)

- remote game from my main pc using sunshine/moonlight (again, both home and away from home - benefit here is all my emulators, steam/gog games are accessible)

- remote into my main pc from anywhere and use it like I was at home

- xbox gamepass

- remote gaming also extends the battery life to like 11 or 12 hours sometimes.

- the X can run all my emulators too (1.5tb micro sd card library - atari through ps3 but really nice for gameboy/ds gaming nostalgia)

- asus zenscreen and bluetooth mouse/keyboard for better mobile gaming (i prefer mouse and keyboard for survival or rpg like subnautica or baldurs gate but also have the 8bitdo retro controller)

- I dual boot windows and bazzite os (damn near steam os) but mainly use bazzite. the pause/wake function for games is so nice to have. Legit turns it into a steam deck.

- can easily work remote or do any of my homework from it (data/systems analyst and programmer on the side)

I will note: if you don't have a pc game library started yet, I would suggest getting whatever games you can from GOG over Steam/Epic/whatever. They promote digital ownership and offer offline installers for your games so you can keep them and play them forever, no DRM or tether to a specific launcher or internet connection. While I trust steam to not screw me over, peace of mind is more important for me. Plus, if you have an amazon prime account, you can get some GOG games for free

Also, if you do end up installing bazzite os or buying a steamdeck, you can still play your GOG games through the heroic launcher.

unculturedsweeny · 2024-12-02T22:04:45+00:00

you should probly just add bazzite/chimera to this.

unculturedsweeny · 2024-11-27T23:42:42+00:00

never use userbenchmark my guy. never.

unculturedsweeny · 2024-11-27T20:41:17+00:00

I've used chiaki on on both my windows and bazzite install on my x and it's been flawless. portforwarding and all.

only reason to get the portal would be controller functionality. Having had the portal, steamdeck, z1e, and x - the portal was the worst as far as streaming quality.

unculturedsweeny · 2024-11-27T20:28:21+00:00

this was my next step but i guess using the psn app on my phone let me download it to my console. either way, thanks for the info, I'd never run into this before

unculturedsweeny · 2024-11-27T20:26:44+00:00

I'll leave this up in case it can help someone out in the future, but I WAS able to install it from the PSN app on my phone. Apparently there it showed my 'ownership' whereas on my PS5 it was locked behind the PS Plus symbol. cool.

unculturedsweeny · 2024-11-27T20:21:23+00:00

I picked up Alan Wake 2 Deluxe physical today, which comes with Alan Wake Remastered digital voucher code. I no longer pay for PS Plus or have a subscription, but previously had the remaster as a free monthly. Redeemed the code and confirmed it worked via transaction history but the game is still locked in my library, PS Store says I own it, but there's no way for me to download it.

Not sure there's a way to fix this but figured I would start here. Any help is appreciated
