Multiple HDMI cords, I try to avoid switches because you can lose some fidelity with the cheaper ones.

Best thing you can get is a short, gold plated HDMI cable (shorter has lower latency because the signal doesn't have to travel as far, and gold plated is a superior conductor. Gold will also resist oxidation/tarnishing).

If your TV only has one HDMI port then leave the TV port plugged in and plug the other end into the console you're currently using.

Is the issue only with that set of cables?

Witcher 2 and 3. Not sure why but I just got bored after the first bit of each. Final Fantasy 7 is notable as well, I didn't *dislike* it, but I'm not really a fan, it's possibly my least favorite of the mainline games in the series.

Was Factorio critically acclaimed? That game should check off every box I have but for some reason I just don't enjoy it.

It’s funny how visually the best looking “game” coming out this spring is a tech demo from an indy studio. Stoked for getting a chance to explore it in UE5. Just wish a larger company could pick up what they did, and turn out a full-fledged narrative for it.

Imagine an LA Noir style detective game, where you are a detective travelling back to the US, then the crew approaches you to let you know a murder has occurred. They are keeping it quiet, but you have to find out who did it before the ship gets to New York, you unlock a big conspiracy, then shit hits the fan when the iceberg hits.

Skyrim. I know I know. I appreciate it for the technical marvel at the time. And no, Im not new to this. I regularly play NES era and up games so it's not graphical incompatibility. It's just that the regular version bored me to sleep repeatedly. I literally would wake up later with it on like some people say they do with books(don't know how you do that but carry on!) Bout it three times as I thought it was just me. It wasn't until I got it on VR that I actually got into it. But still haven't beat it. I'm stuck in the mountains somewhere because I can't quick travel or ride a horse. So now just a feral bandit with stuff stolen from everyone and everywhere cuz I'm too strong to die and unlimited items that I don't need or won't sell. But at least it's a joy finally!

GTA V. Had the damn game since PS3. Converted to PS4. Would've did the same to PS5 but said to hell with it. Only played online with my family but got bored. Rather just cruise with my Deluxo. Got a shit ton of money from various heists and better vehicles and whatnot, but it don't matter. Refuse to be sucked into a shark card infested money pit and just like GTA 4 better and love SA. Tried the story but never was interested after Michael tore down the guys house. So yea I think it's just me.🫣

I have both, but I use my PS5 more because I just like the controller a lot more than the Xbox controller. It is just the best controller out right now, somehow I just find the Xbox controller to feel cheaper and it just lacks features.
