I was just watching “Tokyo Lense” a YouTube channel about a guy who documents his life in Japan and this world is so incredibly beautiful. I wish I had infinite money in more than 80 years cause this little rock we’re on his quite sexy..

Naples area? If so what is the climate like? Has to be such a gorgeous area being on the Mediterranean, ya?

I feel you on light pollution. I live in the burbs(right outside) of New Orleans. While Orleans city proper is nothing remotely close to a New York, Miami, L.A. the metro area is massive.

You can see Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus, Mercury and the major constellations but when you go about 30 miles away the night sky is breathtakingly beautiful.

Thanks! I’ve seen plenty after the fact, I want the wonder and excitement of seeing it happen with my own eyes.

I bought a ps4 for 399.00 in 2014 and played flawlessly until 2020 when I got a ps5.

I’ve paid on average around 3.25 a month for online access plus 3 games per month with PSPlus. You can now get over 900 games with your subscription for a few dollars per month with their expanded service.

The only time you spend 70.00 is when a game launches. After a few weeks games drop usually around 15-25% and if you are a PS Plus member you usually get an additional 10% of sale prices.

I got Cyberpunk steel book edition for 5.99, Dying Light 2 for 25.00, Dead Cells with season pass for around 9.00, Tiny Tina WonderLands for 15.99, Witcher 3 Season Pass for 5.99. Games go on sale at insanely cheap prices every other week on the ps store. If you have disk version you can get launch titles days after launch for 1/2 from people selling after they beat the game. On average I’m spending 2.99 to 25.00 for games in Sony’s ecosystem.

Since the consoles are all alike dev’s can get some absolutely insane looking games running on such cheap hardware. The graphics they pulled off on a shitty Jaguar cpu unit from 2013 was mind blowing. Sony pulled off voodoo magic running VR as good as they had on the PS4 with that cpu. While a console will never match hardware that launches 3 years after its launch its dam close.

Then if I’m online I rarely come across people running hacks, aimbots, etc.

I’ve switched over to playing on my ps5 PSVR2 almost 100% online/single just how great it is and how convenient it can be.

I get not everyone likes consoles but this generation has been a massive leap. Great cpu, gpu, SSD all for 399/499, absolutely outstanding.

The ps5 is an outstanding console(same with SeriesS and X). I have great VR, play outstanding titles from ps1 to Ps5, fantastic controller.

It works all the time without any tinkering and it takes 15 seconds from sitting down to turning TV on, Ps5, to be in game playing.

Can play games from 120, 60, 45, 30 fps.

It is basically like a mid tier pC running something similar to a rtx 2070.

I play online all kinds of games, single player, etc.

Definitely something to consider. Outstanding generation of consoles.

Ha! The day I got the 3DFX and saw Quake II IN 3D blew my mind. How the world was in actual 3D. Seeing that effect for the first few times was so satisfying.

I still remember the first day we got Cox cable instead of Compuserve because I had been trying to download the trailer for Castlevania 64 from Ign64. I was floored the 30mb clip took 27 seconds instead of hours.

Then walking past my Dad’s office around 2am seeing SETI running on the Gateway p3 makes me nostalgic. Hearing the cpu make its noise, seeing the lights flicker off the walls from the modem…

Such great times!

Indeed they were! Loved setting up a sentry at the bottom of our base with a dispenser in the hallway leading down.

Or playing as a spy on the snipers perch on 2Fort.

Or as a medic spamming infection at a spawn location infecting everyone!! Haha, guaranteed way of having others personally hunting you down.

The days of Half-Life, Unreal, Tribes, Quake, Doom, EverQuest, Asheron’s Call, Dark age of Camelot, City of Hero’s, Earth and Beyond were so much fun!
