Good coffee > PS5

PC > PS5

PC MASTER GIGA RACE

[+] [email protected] -14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

You're not gonna like this but, it depends. Sony implemented some very unique tech into the PS5. So if a game was designed to fully exploit the PS5 capabilities, then your experience playing that game will be far inferior on PC (for now).

SOURCE: I own all the consoles, Steam Deck, gaming PC, GeForce Now Founders subscription, and a number of good coffee makers.

You're not gonna like this but, some unique tech that makes a game look 5% better isn't making the experience better than access to mods, or being able to play 30 years old games on the same machine as a new game, or being able to play on mouse+keyboard. Especially considering games that "exploit the PS5 capabilities" tend to be formulaic AAA games featuring gameplay mechanics that got boring 2 decades ago.

I get the appeal of consoles, people are allowed to like them and I’ll gladly geek out over them IRL.

…but for personal use there’s literally no argument for them lmao. Sure a PC with a decent GPU will cost more, but so do $70 games and a paid sub to use the internet you already pay for to play online. My entire Steam wishlist went on sale this winter, I basically got a 3 for 1 deal.

The only pro would be Sonys ridiculous collection of exclusives but I’ll gladly play the dozens of equally good games in my library as consolation. Maybe another 100 hours into Zomboid…

I've been a PC gamer since the IBM PC Jr (blech) and will continue to be. I see no point for the XBox Series X because of every thing you listed, but I can't agree on the PS5. Sony's dual sense controls and haptic feedback are great tech and any game developed to take full advantage of the will feel better on a PS5. At least until the game is ported to PC with full Dual Sense support.

The bottom line is that you should use the best tool for the job. For PS5 first party titles, use a PS5. For budget gaming, an Xbox Series S with GamePass is a good choice. Can't afford a nice rig to run the latest games but you have good internet access? Maybe GeForce Now is for you? Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, PCs, etc all have their "best use". Nobody should feel shamed into one thing or another as long as they are having fun.

You know there are games on PC that take full advantage of the haptics on the DualSense controller (such as Returnal) and they feel exactly the same, right? You don't need the PS5 itself to experience that, and I agree it's awesome immersive shit that actually made me update my controllers the same way I did back when rumble was first introduced on the N64.

Developers just need to take advantage of it and add the functionality to their games. And I also personally think Sony needs to get all those extra features working via Bluetooth because I don't want to have to have it physically plugged in just for the adaptive triggers. As of right now, adaptive trigger support is the only thing that you can't use over BT.

Idk man what PC specs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I can't play Demon Souls on coffee.

I jitter too much and fuck up.

haha wife bad

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

FWIW I interpreted the couple as being pre-marriage, in the "let's try buying things together" phase.* The joke is that he would rather hang with a bro instead.

clues: they're young-ish; she's not wearing a ring; if they were married he'd have given it as a gift or just told her to buy it herself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

You're partially right. It was love at first sight. He wants to go home with the dude, but he's already in a commited closed relationship with the girl. At least that's my head cannon.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Is that a mixing machine or a coffee machine?

Either way i'd be more stoked about getting that than a ps5

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Me too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

It's an espresso machine

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I don't play on console, but I also don't do coffee so I'd have to take the PS5 in this case.

Now, if it was a bong instead... well that's my kind of drug!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

I think it'd make more sense if it was a car seat since coffee is a cozy luxury where kids are a lot of work and responsibility. Then it's more of a lost free time joke than a "wife bad" joke. I still thought the longing look back was silly though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Count me in on the espresso machine. I'd not complain at the PS5 mind you, but I like me some really good coffee.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (8 children)

I have never understood the obsession with coffee. I drank it once. It was bitter scorching sadness. Why is everybody obsessed with coffee?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

each person has their own palate, most adults tend to develop a palate for bitter foods like coffee, beer, high % cocoa chocolate, etc

It's not a rule, but a tendency, If you don't like It now maybe you're too young or your palate went another direction, not a problem imo

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

My palate apparently went another direction.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

That was bad coffee. There is good coffee. Also, caffeine makes me feel good and get things done

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Because it contains an addictive drug.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I used to hate coffee until I had espresso. Like, good, syrup-consistency espresso. It tasted like a really good dark chocolate.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I drink decaf now, but I just really like a good cup of strong coffee. I make mine in a moka pot as I'm to poor for espresso, but it can just brighten my day.

I like bitter foods though. Your pallet may just be incompatible with it, like how some people just can't do spicy or mushrooms or whatever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

it's tasty, that's about it. and fun. caffeine is also a factor for some but not necessarily for everybody.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Because of the psychoactive stimulant that builds tolerance quickly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

One gives you an hour on enjoyment

The other gives you hours of enjoyment

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

That’s a DeLonghi espresso machine that could very likely cost twice as much as the ps5.
