anyone know if I should buy a replacement ps4 now or wait a bit? only game I really kinda want is dishonored two but thats not til november.
unless there is a very good sale going on right now, waiting can only mean a reduced price. Glad you are okay by the way.

Yeah I've only been playing dragon age inquisition and not in a rush to finish it so I'll wait and stalk websites for sales. sucks that I lost a blu ray player though. now I have to go to the other house to watch blu rays (I moved to an in law unit in the back yard)

So it started with me looking for a printer, then I wanted to upgrade my computer, and since I'm doing that I want new headphones as well and then I'm looking at like 1k$ expenses suddenly.
Almost decided on the printer and computer parts, now I just need to settle for a couple of headphones. Or maybe headset.
Anyone have wireless headset /headphone (with mic) experience?
|
Does it need to wireless?
Bought a new GPU, I can now play games at greater than ultra low quality \o/

Anyone know of any program I can use to easily see where space is eaten up on a hard drive? My 1TB HDD is really really fully, and I know I can clean it up, but I'm not sure which folders are holding the most stuff.
Or maybe there's a built in feature or something?
|
there is an advanced program called rightclicking folders -> properties
|
If it's few folders you can check properties. A quickle google showed this as a potential tool.

But that's bothersome if there are 20 subfolders in each folder.
I'm fed up with cables for my headphones. spilled too many cups / broken too many cords. The idea of cooking (only a wall between) and listening to music is also attractive.

What button is that on a DS3?

I use spacemonger it's really great. They have a free trial! Or you know there's way for it to be a free trial too.

I'll take a look at those HF/Duvon, thanks.
@Dandelion - I have a lot of folders and subfolders. I'd like to do something like a scan to prioritize which folders to tackle.

I have a steam thing and can't recommend it enough, I can just be sitting in my living room basically just using my pc from there and it's great. Originally I would have recommended the smart tv option but the steam thing has pretty much made that redundant since i can plug everything into my pc and just stream it. I use ethernet though so that might make me a bit biased in regards to quality (not that quality ever bothers me) so it might not be amazing for wireless (i can check if you want me to). Since you were looking into 4k I imagine quality would be a factor so maybe smart tv's are your way to go. I can pretty much plug and play whatever I want into it and it's synced with all my surround sound and tv box to be controlled with one controller which is useful. Do your research for whatever smart tv you buy though because mine seemingly had problems with streaming videos from my pc and was a bit of a hassle (no longer with steam).
I do have 3d on my tv and it is great but to me atm 3d is just a gimmick and doesn't get much use for things so it's up to you really. Torrenting 3d stuff is longer and 3d movies are effort to get and for me there's like 1 3d channel that you have to pay for so it never gets used apart from guardians of the galaxy dvd watching.
As for controlling the pc I'd recommend either universal remote on your phone (it's great for sitting in bed too) which works over wireless or the steam controller which everyone hates but i find useful for browsing my pc and jumping into a lot of games (some games the control is a bit annoying) but you can plug a 360 remote in and that's fixed. Failing that a wireless keyboard is also amazing.
Also buy a wii u.
hmmm thanks for the anecdote. Do you mean the $600 steam machine or the $50 steam link? The steam link feels weird to me cause it only has 3 USB ports (wtf why not four for four player?) and it says "A host computer running SteamOS, or Steam Big Picture Mode" So could I just browse my computer through it? My girlfriend wants a Wii U so we will probably end up getting one. Why do you recommend it?

The steam link, it basically just opens up big picture on your pc running steam (has to be same network i think) and that streams straight to the steam link/tv. You can minimise big picture on the tv and just use your pc like usual on the tv screen. It can also use wireless controls if you have any (ps3 etc?) and i think you can add a usb hub if you want.
The wii u recommendation is purely because I'm a filthy casual now and while I find ps4/xbone games much the same (do want a few ps4 games actually) the wii u games just feel fun and innovative and easy to pick up. It's also great for having people over since a lot of the games are multiplayer and quite easy to grasp for nubs.

I had a great time playing that Nintendo Land game with the ghost mansion and toad chase.

Oh and I'm pretty sure you can mod your wiiu easily to play everything. Think you only need a USB even.

just saiyan there's a 'built in feature'
also just remember where you put your shit
also how do you clog up 1 TB do you never delete shit what a scrub
also if you just rightclicked instead of procrastinating by talking about it here youd be done by now

I am thinking about getting another HDD because my 3 TB is full.
While I don't have headphones that are wireless I have audio technica ath-mx50 it's cord is detachable and you can by them for like 120 sek if they break. The build quality and sound is amazing and it's not super expensive.

I've had this HDD for like 6 or 7 years, so yeah, I'm not surprised it's filled up. I'm not great at deleting things, but there's also a lot of games installed on it, and I think I still have an instance of Windows 7 installed on it (which was nice when getting my new SSD set up and has saved me in the past when I had an SSD firmware issue).

ahhh cool cool. I knew you could mod the wii easily with just an ssd card and I'd be pretty interested in doing that. I'll have to do some research about the wii U And yeah I even mentioned mario party and smash casual company games in my first post so we will probably get one :D
Good to know you can use steamlink to just use your computer on your TV. I'll probably end up running ethernet between my office and my living room. Hopefully I have access to the attic. Maybe I'll get a wireless mouse and keyboard for the living room too hnnggg
