I already have a steam deck. But, I am thinking of getting a PS5 for the games that can’t run on the deck or would be better played on a console. Is this a silly idea? Redundant? I would have a steam deck and a pS5....
The PS5 is amazing to play from the sofa. But I recommend getting a big 4K TV with 120Hz, VRR and good HDR (lot of nits) to get the most of it. (I have a basic HDR 4K60FPS 4-5 year old Samsung TV and the experience is still good).
I have a PC, SD and recently got a PS5. And lately I’m mainly playing GT7.
Now… every time I buy a game I check if I should get it on Steam or PS5.
For online paid games I always go with PC because in PS5 you have to pay a subscription.
The only things I don’t like from the PS5 are games that run at 30FPS. And there are quite a lot. And, of course, that you have to pay a stupid 70€+ yearly subscription to be able to play paid games online with other humans.
GT7 and Warzone (the 2 I play the most) are 60 FPS. But FF16 is 30FPS and even on a controller is a bit painful to watch.
For a PC with Keyboard and mouse, I prefer a monitor.
But for a PS5 with a controller, yes. But not just a TV, the whole thing TV + sofa + ideally good speakers (personally I prefer 2.0 monitors to keep it simpler)
Some people use a console with a monitor, from a short distance. But I personally use it when I want to relax playing from the sofa on a big screen.
The only issue here is that my wife was the main TV user before I got the PS5, so now I need to add another TV in the bedroom or something.

The Ministry of Culture (and a few more: Social Development, Education, Women, Labor) will all get merged into a new one called Ministry of Human Capital.
Generally companies get lower tax rate than physical persons with 10+ years experience in many european countries. And the rich have all assets in their companies. In my opinion it should be lowered to match the same as the companies. As for the lower class that can barely afford stuff with a basic salary in some EU countries, stay very low or just null.
With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose...
In contrast to this (only 2 years to fix the inflation issues. The inflation that has been around since 2002~). He also mentioned in his first speech that the country would take 35 years to go back as a world power if everything goes well. (Source 13:25/15:31)
I do not think this will happen (hope I’m wrong), knowing the country’s recent history, but I don’t disagree with the time. This stuff is very long term and needs many years of success to happen.
Many people in Argentina think that all the stuff can be fixed in just 2 or 3 years. But truth is, it can improve, but will need lot more than that to reach a “world power” / “first world country” level.
On the other hand, the level of corruption is so high, that by just reducing it, it would make wonders.
I use the “barracuda X” it’s black no RGB. It has both Bluetooth and low latency wireless.
I use it mainly in Windows (work/gaming) and PS5 (gaming).
In Linux I used it for gaming too. The only difference is that sometimes the gain in the drivers is very high. But I think it could be my problem (for messing with the drivers in the past months) maybe I need a clean install.
I can’t remember well. But: price in the X was good enough for me like 100€ maybe a bit less.
And secondly. The detachable microphone that can be located close to the mouth. That was a deal breaker for me because I use the headset to work (Microsoft teams) and play with friends (Warzone). And I like my voice to be as clear as possible. Especially if I have the windows open and some background noise.
So in short. I prefer unidirectional microphones that point to your mouth and if they are closer (so the gain doesn’t need to be high), better.
I just hope that in the long term the country can finally liberate the people who are currently economically dependent on the state. So they can find their own economic path, no matter who is ruling.
They always give you money in Argentina. For exchange of a future vote, of course. But nobody really cares about giving you a way out where you are in charge and capable of finding and getting your own work and opportunities.
And the inflation, as always, eats the lowest class first, the one that has less opportunities to find a new job. And less capable of saving money. Remember that. The very high inflation is indirectly murdering people.
I must confess that sometimes fast travel removes a lot of value from a game. While it saves you a lot of time like a cheat. Cheats also save you time.
From improvements in the efficiency of OLED materials to software developments and new testing techniques, OLED burn-in risk has been lowered. OLED monitors are generally a more sound investment than ever—at least for the right person.
One thing that I also noticed is that my monitor (which has i think 350 nits / LG 27GL850-B) it is much easier and clear to see at direct sunlight because of the anti-glare screen.
But I doubt that antiglare/matte displays is a thing you find on TVs.
Anybody has some quick tip for calculating bitcoin fees? (Like, go to this page, do this and this, voilà!).
Yesterday I did a Bitcoin transaction and paid 3.73$ fee. This was using the Android “Bitcoin” app and selecting the default “Normal” fee (there are 3 options. “Economic”, “Normal”, “Priority”).
However in mempool.space the transaction got the warning “Overpaid 2x” and the transaction got confirmed almost instantly. The transactions was with 1 input and 2 outputs.
So I’m looking for 2 things:
A better Android wallet that can let me put a custom fee (so I don’t overpay next time. Maybe I could had spent 2$ and wait 1-2 hours.).
Some tips to calculate the fee. I end up using lot of different pages, but never getting the “right” fee.
Update: I ended up switching from “Bitcoin Wallet” wallet to “Green” wallet on my mobile phone.
I ended up ditching the app called “Bitcoin wallet” for android and started using the app “Green”. This one at least let me use custom fees and also set the fees by sat per vB.
But yeah basically my transactions are of 140.5 virtual size.
So now that I know this I can just go to bitcoinfee.net (or the site you mentioned ) and multiply the sat/vB of preference by 140.5
