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 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.

On PC (Linux). I prioritise Steam.

But if the game is much cheaper in other launchers that can be used with Lutris. Like Epic. That doesn’t stop me from getting it there instead.

The origin for me are the guys who generally demand that the SD should have higher resolution than 720p-800p (approximately).

I personally think the display PPI is good enough in the original Steam Deck. So I wouldn’t raise the resolution a lot. Especially when some games struggle to keep 30 FPS.

Of course, the eye to display distance matters a lot for this and that’s a bit more subjective.

Many people are still playing with a PS4. And generally consoles last several years.

If we can move the optimisations more to the PC world that would be also nice to keep devices running in the longer term.

What I don’t think is going to happen is a future steam deck running a native resolution at 1080p requiring much more GPU PWR.

Maybe they’ll add 1080p or higher resolution screen and start using more the upscaling.

But running a future GPU bound game natively at 1080p will make any medium term upgrade more like a downgrade.

I’ve been playing on planes, airports, beach, outdoor.

But not much at home. There I still use the PC.

I asked this question long ago. And started turning off the deck every time to stop the battery drain.

But basically the issue is the storage space.

Thanks I’ll switch off the beta then!

Is the new engine enabled by default? Because I have 3 options for Betas:

• None
• new-engine - New Engine Beta
• public-beta - Public beta

So if I select None does it mean I’ll still use the new engine?

Any decent coin, not just the USD.

EUR, GBP, CHF, whatever.

But to simplify they use the USD as reference. EUR is probably the second most used.

ARS loses its value minute by minute.

Yes me too. But it’s still an alpha. An alpha that evolves really fast day by day. The new Dev seems amazing.

Sync ATM looks so polished, elegant, material design well implemented, is fast, it hides the bottom nav bar when scrolling down (infinity also does this) etc.

So now I switched to sync as main app. But I still keep updating Infinity until it gets more polished and stable.

(In Reddit I keep using Infinity+).

The app is amazing and I’m not against the Dev just because of what they are charging. They can charge whatever they want, if there is a market willing to pay it’s fine.

But 115€ lifetime is like 10-20 times more than the price I would pay. So as a consumer I’ll just stay with the free version or another Lemmy app.

As a former infinity user, “Infinity for Lemmy” is the one I’m waiting for. I’m also interested in trying Voyager android app once it is released.

Now this “sync for Lemmy” app looks very well probably the best Lemmy app at the moment. Only thing is lacking for me (so far) is to have community icons in the small cards post layout. (So I can identify what’s the topic is about before reading the title).

For the text size I changed base text to Medium and then I changed the specific description and comment relative text size to “Regular”. This gives me the same text size as Infinity, at least in the comments.

I found some but they still looked huge and flashy. Not small like the Jabras or Microsoft.

I only care about design because I plan to use them with the webcam on.

I’ll take a look at the page later! Thanks

These could be nice upgrade for my Pixel Buds A series. I’m using them for Teams (low latency bad quality). (Not just music high latency high quality).

However, what I really also want to have are gaming headsets (with the long microphone and low latency) that are a bit more low profile and not huge.

At first I thought it was a matter of physics, but after seeing 2.4Ghz low latency in these tiny earbuds I guess it’s possible.

Can’t believe low profile on-ear headsets are not popular. They are all over the ear or huge.

And as you said the ones they generally make for teams sucks with BT high duplex latency.

Thanks for the insight!

This is interesting. So these have the “non BT 2.4Ghz” protocol that you generally find in the huge wireless gaming headset?

Ive been looking for a wireless headset that has the low duplex latency of wireless gaming headset, but in a smaller package. Something like the “Microsoft Modern Wireless Headset” but with 2.4Ghz non BT. And I couldn’t find yet something like this.

Is the APTX-HD latency good enough for gaming? (And can be used for VoIP?).

I don’t know much about BT… But I know that my Pixel buds series A, have terrible latency for gaming unless I use them in headset mode (which then has terrible quality).

This is true but there are some exceptions like Fromsoftware games, Monster Hunter.

I play on Linux from time to time. (With my desktop which has AMD hardware and with the steam deck)

Desktop performance in Linux for me is like 80-90% of windows performance on AAA games that are DX12 based. So if the hardware is overkill for the game, I play it on Linux. If the hardware is not enough (for 1440p 144 FPS my limit), I play it on windows.
