More like Sony doesn’t want to cannibalize selling their own dedicated Blu-ray players for a much higher profit margin.

A $100 bluray drive, an Ugoos am6, and coreelec can get play everything for way less than a high end bluray player that can cost $1000.

Shame it doesn’t support dolby vision though.

Imo your best bet is to see if you can find someone else’s used gaming computer.

Roughly ~400$ gets you pretty far for hardware 3-5 years old

The energy efficiency will be much worse, so depending on how much you use it you may want to account for that and get slightly newer.

In my personal experience look start in amd’s Am4 platform, as it’s quite upgradable up to a 5800x3d.

But to start something like a 2700x or 3700x are solid cpus.

Equivalent Intel cpus are an option too.

As for gpus look for 1000s series nvidia 1070-1080 and onwards. Less than might be too weak.

Similar for amd. Vega 56/64, 5700xt etc.

Huh the 1080ti came out 7 years ago, so I was a bit off.

I mean the books are great too, apparently they’re even better in it’s native language.

Imo coop is more similar to a single player game that you can play with other people. Baldurs gate is a rpg that you happen to be able to play with other people.

Another example would be deadspace 3.

Most PvE games on the other hand are not primarily story driven. Helldivers, deep rock galactic and such.

Something like left4dead covers both because its PvE but it also has a story.

Then games like palworld are more like survival MMOs. Coop in these games is more of an emergent gameplay, while in other coop games its essentially forced.

I don’t like putting these games together because story driven coop games are pretty rare, but PvE games don’t seem to be as rare.

Is it just me or is PvE distinct from co-op?

Helldivers is PvE

Baldurs gate is co-op

These are very different categories and experiences.

100 nano seconds is 0.1 micro seconds, so not quite.

I imagine double digit is 99 ns or less

It’s still free, just under a different plan named lite https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/plan/lite/

Yeah it’s annoying and shitty, but it’s not so bad.

Uh no? Cars have functions, and very real material costs that digital art does not.

How long until someone hacks a way to get some of those working anyway

To me it actually felt like a regression.

One of my favorite things in skyrim/oblivion/fallout 4 was environmental storytelling, and this just has none.

I just want to know when it’s going start being fun.

Damn, pretty much the only negative reviews I saw were because of epic and denuvo.

I wonder if otherwise it’s actually a decent game.

Respawn when they made titanfall was not owned by ea, simply published by them, don’t give them that much credit.

It seems like they are targeting something like the steamdeck for low end: 720p 30 fps, low settings, but high at 1440p 60 fps is many more pixels/s (~8 times as much?) and with higher settings.

This I think should be good, as it will scale well with better hardware while still being accessible.

Personally I’d be happier if I could.

I went from playing a lot when it had a lot of updates, to rarely when it stopped. And now never playing with the complete disrespect blizzard has for the players after 2 was released.

Plex is private though?
