  • You’re right in that exclusives are becoming less and less but I still think it’s worth getting a PS5.

    If you have the wallet for it I think the perfect setup is owning a switch for party games and Nintendo exclusives, a PS5 for Sony exclusives/general couch gaming and as your media machine, and a PC for all the rest.

    Ps5 definitely has some great exclusives that imo make the system worth it, not to mention the graphical upgrades and how quick it is compared to a ps4.
    -Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful game, with a great story and gameplay, performs so much better on PS5 -Spiderman 2 -God of war Ragnarok -Horizon zero dawn -Gran Turismo

    I use my PS5 for most of my games over my gaming PC, just more comfortable for me. Also I still like that you can get lucky if you go to a GameStop and find used physical copies of expansive games at a discount.

    I have also always recommended owning an Xbox/PlayStation as a media device as well. Sound and image quality usually surpass your smaller basic steaming devices or built in smart TVs. Compared to my ps5, my ps4 crawls through the menus and loading screens. One of those things that you won’t notice until you upgrade.

    Having said all that, I wouldn’t get the “pro” model, unless you have the cash and want to game in like 8k or some bs















  • I’ve built a pavlovian response to my phone while I’m in bed that instantly puts me to sleep. I started laying down on my side with one headphone on and put a calm show, like an animal documentary or find science channels on YouTube. Turn autoplay off. Lights off. Set up do not disturb, and set so your preferred contacts can reach you if they call twice. This will mute all notifications while giving piece of mind in case is emergency. I also set DND to turn off at 8am.

    Eventually I would dose off in say 30 min of watching. After years of routine I dose off in like 10 minutes. In fact if I lay down and try to browse on my phone I get sleepy regardless.

    Hardest part is looking for the headphone the morning when I wake up lol.
