  • I think it’s difficult to know where we really are in the release cycle for this console, as it’s been disrupted so much by initial unavailability and COVID. Normally, we’d be due a Pro version this year, but it could be this year, it could be next year, it could be never.

    Last generation I was happy with a standard PS4 until I played Control, and could see that it was struggling. I’m not sure there’s any PS5 games that are known to stress the hardware, and would do anything with the extra resources.

    I’d buy one now if I were you. Worse case scenario: you’ll want to trade it in for an upgrade in a year or two.






  • I don’t think catbox.moe has the bandwidth lately.

    It works, but it plays slowly (It took 90 seconds to download all 17.5 MB directly, which is longer than the gif lasts).

    I’ve been playing around with animated WEBP files. These are much more efficient than gifs (the linked WEBP is about 330KB), but am having a hard time making them work for Lemmy.

    Option 1: upload them directly to Lemmy, they get auto-recompressed and then often look like garbage
    Option 2: direct-link to external host, Lemmy copies it in and auto-recompresses it with the same effect
    Option 3: URL-link to an external host, which then people are reluctant to click
    Option 4: Include as an inline link in the body of a post, then it looks like a text post, and support for it is variable among web clients and mobile apps
