Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

PS5 and XSX run better at 4k resolution than my 3060ti does at 1440p in at least some games.

And those are all used prices. That nearly 6 year old GPU probably no longer has any warranty, unless someone bought it when the next 2 generations were already out. Not sure I'd trust used memory either when prices are as high as they are right now, people would be hella motivated to try to sell their old failing sticks. I'm also not sure where you'll get a 512GB SSD for $60. Cheapest 512 GB NVMe is 90€ near me. The Playstation has an 825 GB NVMe, or 1TB for some models (2 for pro, but that's overpriced).

The same price range (or a tiny bit less) still gets you a brand new PlayStation 5 with warranty, rather than potentially 5-6 year old components (hell, the DDR4 could be even older). You can also save money on the console too if you go used.

I'm a PC gamer, but let's not kid ourselves by saying that PC gaming isn't more expensive to buy into. It is. You do get a multifunctional machine though. I use mine for work and arguing with strangers on lemmy, for an example.
