I have been doing so bad all year lol. It is fudgy crazy that I'm the only one of my siblings that has never gone to a therapist.

But it's all just dumb apple strudel shame in my head. In general I'm actually pretty happy. And I'm mostly through the storm.

Finally locking in and losing the 20 pounds this experience has caused me to gain.

if ps+ wasn't required for online I'd drop it but then I'd buy a lot more games.  I sub to extra because the marginal difference between essential and extra makes the "free" games worth it to be.  but if I could simply own an an extra $130 of games a year I'd do that.

with my large backlog that $130 is my entire gaming budget most years.

Same here, I'd drop it if it weren't for online. But honestly I don't mind it too much, because I do get a lot of games, and I played and discovered a lot from the PS+ games. Also like i said the fact that it deters cheating on the system is a huge plus for me

Honestly I'm glad to pay PS+ essentials, get the free games, and avoid cheaters. This isn't something that's talked about a lot, but PC is riddled with cheaters, playing online is just not worth it.

You can find better pricing for Steam games outside of Steam.

Fanatical and Humble sell games for much better prices than anything you would see on Steam, PSN and Eshop.

I've looked at humble from time to time and I wouldn't consider it good. 

cheap price maybe but on a collection of a bunch of games I would never want to play.  maybe 1 okay game but then the price isn't cheap enough for the one game.

humble is like the ps+ of PC.  I get hundreds of games for my $130 but only a handful are worth more than $0 for me. 


also I buy my PSN and eshop money at a 15% discount which applies so anything I buy there.

I don't engage with key sites.  don't care how cheap they are I don't want to get a discount because of credit card fraud and identity theft or regional price abuse.

Thoughts after a few hours of playing with Steam Machine.

- 3D performance is just…meh.
- The system recommends to default to 1080p - am I going back to PS4 days?
- Some games take a looooooong time to boot, what is it doing?
- System UI is easy to use.
- Being able to boot up… pic.twitter.com/qQL93AALpZ

Has anyone been super positive on it?

Hard to be so if my 2023 rig which cost $1,400 at the time (and is now $2,300) has better specs than the Steam machine.
