The 100th pitch meeting is highly recommended if you haven’t seen that one.
@rowe33 Ha! That was great and I hadn’t seen that one, wooopsie!
Damn, now I’ve got a Spiderman itch. Is the DLC any good?

I found it to be significantly more difficult with new enemy types that were annoying to fight, but the added story stuff was pretty good.
It plays like a dream and the story is fantastic.
Platform exclusives are tight
A number of Ryan George fans here, I see. Hope all of you have also checked out his eponymous YouTube channel. There’s some great stuff on there.
So, I upgraded the drives in my NAS recently, and ended up with two 3TB hard drives I didn’t have a plan for. While looking online at enclosures for 3.5" HDDs and noticed there are dual disk external RAID enclosures you can buy. Since I’ve also been running out of space on my PS4 which had a 2TB internal drive and a 2TB external drive, I decided to experiment with using one of these external RAID boxes to expand my available space.
This is the model I ended up buying after reading a ton of reviews:

I installed two 3TB HGST drives and configured them for RAID 0 and plugged them into my PC first to do a quick speed test. After partitioning and formatting in Windows the CrystalMark results showed sequential reads of about 325MB/s with writes at 125MB/s. Obviously not SSD class, especially for random reads/writes but I also don’t want to spend more than $800 on an SSD in this size class.
So after that I plugged it into my PS4 and formatted it as external storage. It was a long process, but I moved all the games on the internal drive to the RAID box, and then switched back to my original external storage and moved everything from there to internal storage. That took like 10 hours all together. But this is how my system sits now:
So I’ve doubled my available storage and games on the RAID box get a bit of a boost in load times. Again, this is just a stopgap until high capacity SSDs are in my price range, but I’m hopeful I can carry this forward to the PS5 as my Backwards Compatible/Cold storage drive.

I didn’t know it was so easy to increase PS4 storage with external USB 3.0
I am on a base PS4 with 500GB and was downloading/deleting games all the time … I added 2 TB external, this is more than enough for my game library.
So when I use extended storage, all game downloads go there. What if I want to store a game on internal? Can I just plug out the external HD and download the game, and then plug it back in?
You can go to Settings -> Storage and change the default install location. You can also move games back and forth really easily.
Yeah, I had no idea it was so easy either. I got a drive and I have 2TB on the side now and it’s been working perfectly and was ultra easy to set up. Just plug in and go.
Anyone with a PSVR might want to try Playstation Now - they just added Resident Evil 7 for the next three months. I played a few minutes of the house demo and noped right out of it because I’m a scaredy-cat.
Not much else on the service to try it with:
Moto Racer 4, Bound, Infinite Minigolf, Robot Golf & Chess Ultra.

There’s definitely something about horror in VR that’s particularly terrifying for me as well.
The Playstation Store is having a dedicated VR sale right now, and Iron Man is $10 off ($30 total). I picked it up. As I mentioned upthread, the motion tracking and UI in the demo was great - made you feel like you were in the suit in the movies.
Some games to tackle while we wait for the next generation…

I had no idea you could actually “beat” something like farming simulator. Can you beat Microsoft Flight Sim too?
Maybe if you see everything in the world? Fly all the planes?
