LOL.. i would give it 10-20 minutes try... but based on the video this doesn't seem like my type of game

Surprise surprise... Paper Ghost Stories: 7PM was really engrossing!

And my first playthrough (could only get 17% completion haha) only took around 20 minutes

Got 19/20 achievements by 2nd playthrough, took around 40 minutes

Panasonic Eneloops are regularly on sale from the official Panasonic shop in Shopee

Bought 4pc Eneloop Pros a few months ago for around RM70++

I couldn't figure out how to get the 'Getting to know the neighborhood' achievement

Oh... I couldn't get the card game to start... the only minigames I got were packing the nasi lemak, folding the qingming paper gold, and throwing pebbles at the window

Did that already

Got the mild jump scare after that... still no achievement

Series X draws air in from the back and blows it up top

PS5 draws air in from the front and top and blows it out back

Unless the PS5 is at least 6" (preferably 10") away from the wall, better move it elsewhere

There should be enough room for the Series X to breath IMO

Both PS5 and Series X will just barely fit your budget, although 2ndhand Series X are getting cheaper in Malaysia now that PS5 is easier to buy

If your main intention is to play online, you're better off sticking with PC since games and online subscription (in this case EA Play) are cheaper than consoles.

If Xbox, you need to buy the game and pay for Xbox Live Gold + EA Play, or get Game Pass Ultimate.

I am not too sure how it works on PlayStation, but a PlayStation Plus subscription is definitely required.

If just playing offline it doesn't matter which version you get... although if you want to upgrade every year and trade in the previous year's game, then stick to PlayStation.

Xbox 2ndhand market is dead here in Malaysia.

Of course you can, it's just a matter of creating a custom shortcut named DEFAULT.XBE and pointing it to the default dashboard XBE in C:. Of course I don't see any reason to do so, especially so many custom dashboards offer so many more features than the default one.

And it was always standard IDE hard disks and cables, the only difference is the Xbox assigns a key to the hard disk which makes it unusable in consoles. Of course if you have a modded Xbox the key can be easily nulled.

I have no idea why Microsoft lock down their internal storage so tightly. Sony never bothered, and it was easy to swap/upgrade storage in PS2-PS5.

The original Xbox is really fun to play with once a modchip is installed cos its PC and Windows underpinnings make it very easy to explore and mod.

At least it's easier now with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S and can easily install games in external storage.

I'm using a 2TB Crucial MX500 to store XB1 games, and a 1TB Hitachi hard disk (originally from my PS4 Pro) to store legacy Xbox 360 and Xbox games.

Still saving up to get a 2TB Seagate expansion cartridge...

This setting is just to stop the drive spinning (for mechanical drives anyway, not sure what it does for SSD)... power is actually still flowing to the USB case

The lights are always on for my 2 external drives... but it's safe to unplug them (although I don't see a reason to).

Dunno what to say haha... no idea how TVs deal with USB media... I never used the USB ports for any of my TVs

Anyone here with experience playing Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order on Series X?

I am getting framerate dips quite frequently randomly.

I am playing on Performance mode.

I had asked some friends who had played the game on PS4 and PS5 and they said the PS version did not have such issues.

The dips were mostly in Zeffo.

Also, all cutscenes were out of sync by 4-5 seconds in Kashyyyk and 2-3 seconds in Dathomir. Cutscenes on other planets do not appear to be affected.

Still excited for Senua Saga: Hellblade II and Forza Motorsport... the latter may be motivation for me to rejoin Game Pass

Haha... I bought the disc for the first Senua game cos got hyped by the early trailers for Senua II, until now haven't even touched it yet.

Bought cheap from eBay UK... I get most of my Xbox discs from there, prices around RM40-90 per game inclusive of shipping is quite OK if you're willing to wait 2-3 years after the game is released.

Since Xbox market is completely dead here... memang hard to get Xbox discs at all.

These region locks went away with the Xbox 360

I regularly get Xbox discs from UK and US, and I buy DLCs using my Singapore Xbox account without any issues whatsoever.

Xbox 360 would accept any 2.5" HDD. It's easy to replace them, especially for the S and E models, just use a custom plastic case.

I bought a replacement case from AliExpress for around RM9, and then put in a 2TB 2.5" HDD.
