    I’ve been a PC gamer for 20 years — here’s why you should buy a PS5 Pro instead

    I used to be a PC gamer. I sold my self built gaming rig over a decade ago, switched to console and never looked back. Mostly for the reasons you mentioned (time savings being the highest on the list), but also for cost. You can get reasonably good performance with an affordable box that sits...

    News One of my favorite movies of 2024 is now streaming — and viewers rate it 91% on Rotten Tomatoes

    You must not have heard about Deadpool and Wolverine (which has now crossed a billion dollars) if you call Twisters the best summer blockbuster. I'd even put Bad Boys 3 above it. And Inside Out 2 with its $1.6 billion might have something to say too. Pretty bad call on this one.

    As an owner of both consoles this generation (last gen just had a PS4), I can concur than Microsoft's policies are a lot more player friendly. Because Sony is so far ahead in sales, it doesn't seem as willing to make its policies more friendly and people just put up with it.

    In my opinion its biggest issue was that Sony didn't do enough to help smaller studios port their games from PSVR to PSVR2. Many games that weren't ported could have been, but it would have taken some work. Sony could have incentivized that work and they would have had a much bigger library at...

    News Google Pixel phones just got an upgrade the iPhone can’t match

    Man, what a click bait title. It's not like the iPhone "can't" do this, it's just designed differently. If that's your standard then there's plenty of features Android has that the iPhone "can't" match.

    PS5 and Xbox Series X games at 30 fps are unacceptable

    I like 60fps as well, but technologies that make games really look this gen (e.g. Unreal Engine 5) as opposed to last gen with higher resolution or fps really use a lot of CPU. Current consoles will likely struggle to do 60fps using them.
