You have a very nice room there.So my xbox series x arrived this week, installed a bunch of gamepass stuff... my wife is the one giving it the most use tho, Tetris connect. Quite a beautiful looking and sounding game, not expecting.

Yeah Tetris Effect is great. I think it got less attention than it should have on PC because of the Epic Store shit, but I enjoyed it a lot. Even better with visuals and sound that Lumines, and with (IMO) better gameplay.

Man the days of buying a console, boot it up, place the disc and play away ended in the PS3/360 era
Now when you boot it for the 1st time you have to leave the damn thing on throughout the night so it can configure itself. Then you have to download and install the software updates, that's another 3 hours at least. Then when you insert the disc you can't play it right away, as you have to install the game so that's another hour, hour and half. And of course after that you have to download the 30Gb 1st day update to fix most of the game, so another hour down the drain.
So you're looking at a whole fucking day of maintence before the brats can enjoy it.
Nowadays you're better with PC's in it comes to expidience and comfort. Just install the game and you're good to go.

I haven't really used a console in forever, but I feel like there's still a large "fuss with it" gap. I just bought my first NVME drive in a black Friday sale and now I have to google how to install it, I have to take parts out of my machine to access the slot and then reinstall those, I have to google how to clone my SATA drive to the NVME drive or do a fresh Windows install on it, which would require reinstalling a bunch of random programs like RivaTuner and whatnot, not to mention drivers. Unless consoles have changed a LOT since I last used them then I still think there's a large difference.
Same with the consoles. I had to watch a bunch of tutorials when I was swapping PS4 HDD for an SSD and had to copy OS and all of my files. Then had to rebuild the database because some games weren't working.

Dude you've bought a competent to install in a desktop, of course that's more complicated than buying a console
But most dudes that use PC as gaming platform, simply buy the components and then pay for the store guys to assemble it and install and configure the OS
Then all they have to do is pick the thing up at the shop (or pay for it's delivery), boot up, install steam, install a game and boom
2 hours after unboxing and they're already playing fucking CSGO or LOL while chatting up in Discord
While with the XBox and PS you have to configure so much that 1st time that it ain't even funny (well not funny for the console peasants that have to sit through all of that, I certaintly found it hilarious when a mate told that, the day after trying to rub it in my face that he was going to play Bloodborne back in 2015)

like what? The only thing I ever had to fiddle with were the settings regarding the TV. You're right with the gamepatches of course.

If you can't even swap a fucking drive on a PC without looking at a guide then you have no business using a PC. Fuck off.

Setting up the xbox was ridiculously simple. Boot it up, it asks to connect to your phone app, while it downloads the system update you continue to configure the console settings through your phone.
I waited more time just browsing gamepass and choosing stuff to download, so much awesome stuff there that when I spent a full day just downloading games.
Couple of things about the console itself. Its very hefty and solid, feels like a product with top build quality. Also it's super quiet, fast to boot and load everything, UI is also very snappy, a marked improvement from what I was used to on the ps4.

Never used an NVME and know literally nothing about using them, so yeah I'm gonna Google real quick. You'd have to be absolutely retarded not to. I guess you're the guy who drove in circles for hours instead of asking for directions, back in the day.

How else are you supposed to get anywhere?
Anyway, read the fucking motherboard manual at least.

I'm enjoying the PS5 so far - UI is a lot snappier than the PS4 Pro (especially the PS Store) and the load times are really good in comparison. The controller is ok but has some odd angles at the base of my palms that I notice occasionally (I would have preferred it be more rounded).
Biggest improvement by far is the end of the jet engine fan noise though.

You might want to check up on those glasses. The thumbnail alone shows a huge difference.
The lighting is different and a few textures are worse and that's it

All those things I described were what both my friends with a PS4 had to go through when they unboxed it
The only home console I have is ac chipped GameCube and right after I burn a DVD with a game all I have to do is just insert the disc and play away
That's always been the appeal of consoles
Now you have to make system updates and pay for internet acess
Now you have to install your games before playing and unnistall them when the hardrive gets filled out
Where's the difference to having a PC? Hell where's the fucking advantage over one?

Watch the video. The main character model is better, the lighting is different and there are some better textures but that's it. In some segments it looks borderline identical. Not a case like this:
