OK guys I need some help.

What are 3 reasons why getting a ps5 is a bad idea.

Edit: waiting till Sunday. I want to have a good night out tomorrow and I know if I grab one today, tmrw night ain't happening.

  1. you hate fun
  2. you dislike treating yourself to things you deserve
  3. the idea of playing awesome games like rift apart, FFXVI, Spiderman2 or Astrobot makes your skin crawl.

Have you finished BG3 yet?

I had to sell my ps5 when I was unemployed so never got to finish bg3. Which fucking sucked tbh.

I'm super keen to grab one, was just trying to think of negatives to balance the equation.

ok so to be realistic, do you have enough savings that if the company went under tomorrow you'd be ok till you secured a new job?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I have about 6 months of savings. It was the first thing I did when I get my first couple of paycheques.

I have 6 months rent saved plus all expenses.

to be blunt, then I cant see a good reason NOT to get a PS5 if its what you really want. keep in mind a steamdeck is now around 700 bucks though, and EVENTUALLY most Sony games come to steam.

Does the steam deck connect via hdmi to TV?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

with a dock I think so yeah. But the steamdeck isnt the most powerful thing in the world hence the price. the ROG Alley or Lenovo Legion thing may be a better bet, but then they are more expensive.
