I got a nice 60 or 65 inch TCL from Amazon last year and it's pretty great, except the Youtube app wouldn't launch the other day unless I reset the TV. Just that app though so lol thanks Google.

Yo, if I don't care about 4k and only even have a 1080p tv right now, have no old Xbox discs, and mainly want gamepass, the series S makes the most sense right?

more games run 60fps on the X but that might not be worth the extra 200

I wish I could look into the future and see what elden ring and the space rpg thing are gonna play like. Edit: 20 minutes before open and there is no line. Lol. Welcome to Appalachia.

I'm just assuming that they'll be harder to find during the holidays, so I snagged one today.

Hundreds and hundreds of games for free.* The most surprising thing to me was my emotional shift from the paradigm that 'I have spent money on this game, now I must play unless it's godawful' to a rapidly decaying sense of guilt now that I know I will never catch up to my backlog, that I am happy to pay $15 a month for infinite selection. I get to enjoy new releases again without having to worry about my work schedule and if I will get my money's worth out of a brand new game. I play what I want to, when I want to. It's great.

DoomTrainPhD posted:Except the very bad remote. Luckily the new remote looks less bad. It's better but still flawed. It still has the "touchpad" component to it. You can disable it outright, except then you don't have a good way of fast forwarding or rewind to any significant degree. It's possibly I'm missing something, though. Mr. Neutron posted:I will never understand how it happened that Bayonetta was developed for the 360. Imagine a hat. Now, imagine that hat is made out of money. Seriously though that was a very odd time for Japanese devs, since that also extended to PC and resulted in terrible GFWL versions of games. Was especially fun with Dark Souls, which was locked to 1024x600 at 30fps and pretty much expected you to use an Xbox controller to play it. Bayonetta was also fun because it also got a PS3 port that had severe performance issues and less than half the framerate but despite that sold several times more copies than the 360 version did because, again, there's minimal Xbox audience outside of the US.

I still can’t for the life of me figure out why they used those awful low-res ray traced reflections on the mirrors in a fixed angle shot instead of screen space.

Mines not even an ad just an image for "Stan" a local streaming app This is gross though. Thankfully I don't think my two year old tv gets more updates so it won't do this I guess.

It's possibly I'm missing something, though. Now we're back to clicking fast forward progressively and guessing at where the upper bounds of the multiplier is before it wraps around to 2x. Good times.

Laserface posted:Mines not even an ad just an image for "Stan" a local streaming app My LG OLED is a few years old and I don’t really notice any ads but I also never spend any time in menus since it’s always showing input from a game system or shield TV. That said, there really is no safe retreat from the encroaching scourge of ads taking over your TV because every manufacturer is doing it and it’s only going to get worse.

You can, which is what most people recommend (and actually started this whole tangent when someone asked why you would use a 3rd party streaming device instead of the apps built into your smart tv).
