Am I the only one who feels like unboxing a vacuum pack sofa is basically playing furniture roulette?
I finally moved into my apartment on the fourth floor and I quickly realized that getting a big sectional sofa through the door would be a nightmare. So I bought a vacuum pack sofa online. The ads made it look like I just needed to cut the plastic wrap open and the sofa would be set up in seconds. In reality, when I opened the vacuum seal the sofa expanded fast like an airbag deploying. It almost pushed me against my bookshelf. It's been two days now and it looks like a couch but it still smells like a chemical plant. I spent the afternoon on amazon, Alibaba and even Aliexpress checking the prices of these high-density foam units from suppliers. It's crazy to see that the same foam blocks and tech-fabric covers are sold for $150 wholesale. I paid $900 for a fancy box and a logo. Now I'm worried about the sofa losing its shape. I've read threads where people say these boneless couches lose their support in six months. Has anyone had one of these last for years?. Did I just pay a lot for a big fancy marshmallow that I'll have to replace by Christmas? submitted by /u/rv8n8 to r/ConsumerAdvice [link] [comments]

I saw this ad on TikTok about this boneless couch from a Lumen.com website. $9.99. Seems too good to be true honestly. I know these types of couches are usually pretty cheap but I think $10 is a little sketchy. Has anyone ordered from this website?

Viral boneless couches
I am in desperate need of new furniture. I have the option to buy a 4 piece set from a local furniture store. Chair, ottoman, couch and love seat. That furniture is well rated and durable. Cost is about $1600. My initial wish was to get a sectional. But the ones I have found are cost prohibitive. But I have seen more and more of the boneless sectionals for a fraction of the above mentioned set. Has anyone purchased one? Do they hold up to 325 pounds? Or not worth the cost? submitted by /u/AnimalHot9115 to r/PlusSize [link] [comments]

My 115" TCL 7.2 Home Theater Setup
Here's a video walkthrough of the entire basement area that I couldn't fit in the post We started building a new house in April of 2025 and my wife basically gave me free reign to do whatever I wanted with the basement. I knew I wanted two things 1) To move all the gym equipment from my unfinished basement in the old house to a nice climate controlled space and 2) to make the best home theater entertaining space possible. Problem was while I knew a lot about TVs and computers, I knew next to nothing about audio as I was just jiving with a Sonos sound-producer-that-shall-not-be-named. I made this post five months ago and got a few good suggestions and then went into full research mode. Unfortunately the damage had been done with the pre-wiring so I had to work the best with what I had. I used this video for inspiration for the entire space and besides the glass partition to the gym I did everything myself over a 3 month period. Wandering into a local furniture store in July I saw a 115" TCL QM8 for the sale price of $8999 and was nearly in disbelief. I asked a store associate about it, and they said that it was the floor model they wanted to clear out to put up a QM8k. I almost pulled the trigger but then decided not to make a rash decision on the spot. A month later we came in looking for a fridge and I walked into the electronic section to muse on what I had missed and lo and behold they had reduced the price further to $7,999. I knew it was destiny at that point. I added install and a five year warranty for another $1000 and got what I believe was the best possible deal on a TV that size. It had been on for 10 hours a day, 6 days a week for 8 months straight but I'm praying the life span is a lot longer than that or if it decides to die it will do so in the 5 year warranty period. Anywho, specs: 115" TCL QM8 LCR: Kef Q6 Meta and Kef Q Concerto Bookshelf Speakers Surrounds: Klipsch THX-502-L In-Wall Speaker Rears: Klipsch CDT-5800-C-II In-Ceiling Speaker Subs: 2x RSL Speedwoofer 12 AVR: Denon X1800H PS5 Old PC with 3070Ti and Ryzen 7 5700X built into the cabinet Living Spaces Kennedy Sectional (Every seat is a recliner except one in the corner) I LOVE MY BASEMENT. My family and I spend so much time down here and I've already been able to host numerous events and I'm pretty sure I could never ask for anything more and will never move again. Per reading this forum I discovered that the Race scene from Ready Player One is the most audience wowing demonstration possible and I've shown it at least a dozen times to visitors (much to the dismay of my wife haha) Everything sounds incredible to the point that if a movie has even a semblance of action I'll refuse to watch it in bed or anywhere else in the home because I know I'd be missing out on the experience. A couple musings: My phone camera sucks. Especially in low light. I apologize. I wish I had known in advance what I do now, I would have had the builders wire for atmos. They knew even less than I do and their only surround package was a 7 speaker system all in ceiling, yuck. I can't imagine atmos sounding better than what I currently have, but I would have loved to have the opportunity to find out. While I'm blown away by sound in 90% of what I watch, content that only supports stereo I don't really notice an improvement from just having a Sonos Beam. I'm about as far as you get from an audiophile, so maybe my listening ability is just stunted. I paid a premium on some speakers, but I'm thinking I'm too dumb to notice a difference and should have not spent so much on the LCR. In the same vein, I don't really understand what adding a second sub did to enhance my setup. Before everything was finished I only unboxed one sub. Sub goes boom. I added a second sub and I get more boom but Audyssey turned the subs down to -10d and I never listen higher than 70% on the sub anyway so I really don't know what I gained by getting a second one except symmetry. This TV is so freaking bright. I couldn't believe it. I came from a Sony X850F 85 inch TV and the brightness is literally night and day. I was told putting an AVR in a cabinet would cause it to overheat. LIES. I spent extra to install two AC Infinity fans and a temperature probe that kicks the fans on when it hits 80 degrees. It has not exceeded 76 degrees in there even one time, even watching all of Avatar Way of Water in one sitting. Is this just BIG THEATER COOLING spreading their propaganda in this subreddit? What did need cooling was my PC, so I cut two 240mm fans (I didn't even know they made them that big) in the cabinet and have plenty of airflow. I turn the PC on with a PCIe slot remote attachment and it works great. Steam's version of Quake 2 allows 8 player split screen on a single display, we have a game night and the TV was large enough that even with 8 players everyone got a decent portion. I'm still planning on adding floating shelves to either side of the TV, so I guess I'm not finished finished. I'm always currently building a 10 foot long bar height table to go behind the couch to accommodate more people in the room, but unfortunately I'm not going to finish before my Superbowl party. Anyway, wanted to share my new favorite place in the world. I know reading in here that I need some acoustic treatment in the room via wall coverings but I have no idea where to start with that. I'll take any suggestions I can get. submitted by /u/Bainge to r/hometheater [link] [comments]

Opinion on those “boneless couches?”
Hi :) I am a college student in a tiny apartment and my current couch is not the best. It’s old, broken, and incredibly uncomfortable. I have been looking into buying one of those viral “boneless” or “nugget” couches, but I need a legit and honest review on them before I drop a bunch of money. If you’ve owned one/ currently own one, what are your thoughts, be brutally honest, all the reviews I’ve seen tend to look fake :/ Also if you like yours, where’d you buy it? Sorry if this isn’t allowed on the sub, I just need advice lol submitted by /u/Lettuce_Socks to r/HomeDecorating [link] [comments]

AITAH for not letting my fiancée's best friend live with us anymore leading to the end of our 5 year relationship
I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/Infinite-Series-9493 Originally posted to r/AITAH AITAH for not letting my fiancée's best friend live with us anymore leading to the end of our 5 year relationship Trigger Warnings: verbal abuse, PTSD, mental health struggles, suicidal ideation, emotional abuse and manipulation, gaslighting, destruction of property, theft Mood Spoilers: messy Original Post: July 15, 2025 Hi, I am currently going through a break-up with my fiancée and I need input from strangers. My friends have been validating a lot of my feelings but I feel like that could be bias. Some context I'm 26M, she is 23F, we'll call her Kate, we've been together just under 5 years, engaged for almost 2, I proposed on our anniversary. Anyway, this time last year we moved into a rental property my parents own with her best friend, we'll call her May F27. For the 18 months leading up to this job I had worked law enforcement, that job 100% made me realise that you can't change the system from within and made me fully ACAB. I was injured a few times and also dealt with some close calls and some really heavy things. Even though I knew I should have been talking to a psychologist about these things during my time, I kept neglecting my mental health until I broke down. I got injured again, couldn't stop smoking, and quit the job. I was in denial about my PTSD and kept trying to push past it and get a different job in security. I couldn't do this, and the feeling of failure combined with being terrified of everyone around me outside I struggled to find the motivation to find another job or do anything. I struggled going to the shops for some time. During this time me and May were always around each other and butting heads. Shortly after we moved in we we're setting up rooms, I asked her to not touch some 3D printed dnd models that I had made and painted, due to some breaking in transport and me not wanting to risk more damage. She ended up moving all of them whilst setting up shelves and even unboxed ones I didn't want unboxed. I told her I had specifically asked her not to touch them and it upset me she did, her response was "I needed to unbox stuff and put it on shelves before the party." We had a house-warming coming up, I told her she could have done that without touching them, she yelled "they wouldn't have been touched if you had done it yourself". When I talked to my fiancée about this she took May's side. This established a pattern, May would do something that crossed a boundary, and she would yell at that. I did also do things which crossed her boundaries, and I did try to apologise and explain that I didn't understand that had been an issue and clear communication would help me understand in the future. Few months go by, I am terrified of May, every time I'm around her my heart is pounding, I'm looking for weapons, my body is reacting to her as a threat. And I unfortunately responded by being angry, I felt like my fiancée wasn't doing anything to make the house feel welcome to me. I begged her to talk to May and she said she did, but that I needed to apologise first and show that I can change. Eventually in January it reached a point where May would clean a small section of our patio and sit and smoke, we would all sit and smoke together, she would only clean the section she sat. That area was where I sat most of the time when she wasn't around. One week she got angry because I left my stuff in her spot and a different day I didn't immediately stop smoking and move over for her. I told her it was a communal area and she didn't own that spot. The next day I came home and she was building a couch in that area, I told my fiancée that it seemed like a petty attempt to take ownership of the space. My fiancée dismissed that, but also said I wouldn't be able to sit on it due to the weight rating of it. I tried to overlook it, but I asked my fiancée to bring up moving it, because at this point I was too scared to talk to May and was avoiding her. My fiancée refused for a while, then did and said the couch stayed, and started telling me to "Suck it up" her actual words. This lead to us arguing and me picking the couch up over our heads and moving it to the other side of the table. At this point May said they were moving out, I said it wasn't going to work with us together in the house. My fiancée and May spent the next 6 months just telling me to stop being angry and apologise and that everything was my fault. I had felt so ashamed for this entire year I didn't tell my friends any of this until this past week. I was constantly sent to the bedroom when May was around, though she wasn't there every day. It felt like I wasn't welcome in the house, when I asked when May was moving out, I was told she wasn't, then she was. And this kept happening, I stayed scared of May. And then my fiancée began screaming at and berating me for not having empathy, for not loving her or caring about her. I yelled to, but I also slowly began to feel hated by her, and as it went on, I just wanted to do anything to keep her happy. I apologised and was yelled at by May, this happened three times in a row, so I gave up. I didn't care about May anymore, she destroyed the friendship we had, I felt so unsafe I wanted her out of my life. But I could never ask my fiancée to give up her friendship, I just didn't want her in the house. I accused my fiancée of having an emotional affair, she denied anything, but also told me May thought she has been in love with Kate, but talked it through with a psychologist and she just loves her like a sister. This struck me as weird, and a lot of my friends are calling it manipulative. But last week we hit a point, Kate had gone off and spent the night where May has been staying and told me she was staying at 10:30pm. She gave May $1000 recently to fic their car. I finally talked to some friends about everything, I they made me feel validated in my fear, my suspicions and just didn't make me feel crazy anymore. I had been conflicted with how I felt, I knew I was wrong to be angry and I was sorry for my actions. And I tried to make up from them, but when I asked for the same, I got yelled at for asking. It felt like I was being told May can act however she wants and Kate will defend her, but if I step a toe out of line I will be told off. I felt like a third in my own engagement. Please let me know if you think ITA or NTA. I will try and provide any additional information if possible. EDIT: I just found out that Kate has been lying to me for a few weeks about a mutual friend of ours, one of my best friends. Kate told me this friend thought I had changed and was no longer the person I was and didn't want me in their life. Due to this, I didn't reach out to them after the break until this morning. I asked how I had changed and why they didn't want me as a friend. She then denied not wanting me as a friend, told me she still loves me and wants me in her life. We've begun making plans to catch up and talk this weekend. This has made me realise that I well and truly have been manipulated and lied to, and that I'm not going crazy and losing everyone and everything. I don't know how long this has been happening, whether it's the full 5 years, or just since May has been this entwined with our relationship. AITAH has no consensus bot, OOP is NTA Relevant Comments Commenter 1: I felt like a third in my own engagement. Yep. NTA Time to move on and stop supplementing fiancée and May's lifestyles. OOP: Honestly, thank you so much for saying this. I started to cry because I felt like I was going mad trying to say everything. This went from me trying to get perspective to letting my feelings out, and I thought it might be incoherent rambling. Commenter 2: NTA. I strongly suggest that you have a witness with you every time you interact with either of them from now on. I guarantee they know exactly how they're triggering your anxiety (and likely PTSD) and are doing so intentionally because they know that they can easily manipulate you and situations once you're triggered. It genuinely isn't safe for you emotionally to be around them alone. OOP: Thank you for the advice, I was planning on trying to have a friend around for dividing assets. Commenter 3: Did you ever get treatment for PTSD? Did Kate keep May around because she felt unsafe because of your untreated mental health issues? OOP: I did get treatment. And in the past 6 months she did start feeling unsafe. I do need to keep going with therapy to deal with my issues. We had lived together most of our relationship without any major issues. Also at one point I was very suicidal, my psychologist told my fiancée I should be placed under a 72 hour hold. She didn't want me to go so I didn't. How were the bills split between OOP and Kate? OOP: Bills are currently mostly 50/50 between me and Kate, May has always paid a lower rent. We agreed $150 before we moved in. And then almost immediately said she could only pay $100 a week until she got a job. She would then get a job, keep paying $100 and when I said I wasn't going to keep paying a third of her rent, Kate started paying instead. May also never paid more than a quarter of any bill. Whilst in law enforcement, I was covering about 60-70% of bills when it was just me and Kate. I was okay with that because I was making close to double what she did. OOP should get the ring back OOP: I took the ring a few days ago and have it with me at my parents. I'm only staying this week. OOP needs to get clean now after it seems like weed is creating the harm OOP: I'm getting sober after this week. I realised that myself and I had quit and was good, but my fiancée always had it in the house and the temptation of it was too strong. I know I can be sober and healthy mentally, I just wasn't strong enough then to resist the temptation. OOP needs to find his spine and get this sorted out OOP: I'm 6'8 and have been training to fight for 8 years. I have always been such an intimidating figure that I always try to be calm and go with the flow to avoid being scary. But I do think this lead to me having issues trying to express my own needs in a relationship, because I'm desperate to not be alone.   Update: August 12, 2025 (nearly one month later) UPDATE: AITAH for not letting my fiancée's best friend live with us anymore leading to the end of our 5 year relationship So some people asked for an update. And I have a few good and a few bad things to share. Brief recap, my fiancée (Kate) and I of almost 5 years broke up a month ago after moving into a house with her best friend (May). I was suffering from PTSD and left my job in law enforcement, I had set some boundaries with May and she kept crossing them. She would also get angry yell at me and get in my face, and Kate would always dismiss these outbursts. So to the update, I stayed at my parents house for a week, after returning I didn't know if Kate would be there or not. She wasn't, she took the cat and a few items of clothing, and all our sheets and pillows. I reached out asking if she wanted to talk about things and if she was working that Wednesday because we could sit down and discuss who gets what and her moving out. She had threatened to take all the furniture during the break-up so I wanted to sit down and actually divide the things we'd bought together between us. She said she didn't want to meet, and that she asked for my roster to collect her stuff when I'm not there. Because of her threatening to take the bed and everything else, I said I didn't want her in the house without me and would change the locks. She eventually said she wanted to do it via text, but I told her it should be in person, there are a lot of things in a lot of random places which actually needed to be sorted through. She refused, I then found out a few days later from my brother she had messaged my parents. Telling them I had turned off all her fish tanks and wasn't letting her in to do anything to them. I was more than happy for her to come over whilst I was here, I just didn't trust her after finding out about a lot of her lies about my friends hating me. My parents called, and the four of us spoke, my brother confirmed the tanks were all on and were clean. My parents told me she had hired a moving crew for Tuesday to get all her stuff, my parents own the house we live in. I put a lock on the bedroom door and changed all the locks in the house. I told her Tuesday didn't work for me, but Wednesday would work. She refused and said she was coming, so I sent the list of things she wasn't to take. And she insisted on taking the entire bedroom set. I told my manager about what was happening, she knew about the break-up, I broke down at work the next day and told her. She was so understanding and actually helped a lot and I'm so thankful for her. On Tuesday they came just before I left for work, I called my brother and he started coming towards the house. I had moved all Kate and May's belongings outside that I could find and move. Had a friend help me with May's bed. My brother arrived after I left and told me they were inside the house, I told my manager who agreed to let me leave early when the second staff started, which was in 5 hours. My brother planted himself on the sofa kept an eye on the bedroom and kept me updated. When I arrived they'd gutted most of the house of all of their stuff, but also a few of my items, I found more out after it was over. But she took one of my consoles and the cables to my other so I couldn't use it. They didn't get in the bedroom or get the couch at least. I later found out they stole my cook books, the rice and flour and a few other weird things. However, not long after I decided to try and put myself back out there and just try and have some fun casual dates until I'm ready for something long term. However I quickly realised it wasn't for me anymore and I wanted something seriously. But I met someone and we immediately clicked, we were sending these huge paragraphs, info dumping to each other and we shared a lot of the same interests and passions. We've gone out a few times now and I really like them, and I really hope this works out well, taking it slowly though. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: It doesn't sound like you're taking anything slowly, it sounds like your 'trauma bonding' or whatever the kids call it. In any case, best of luck with everything and hope you're feeling ok and getting the help you need. OOP (downvoted): I've trauma bonded with someone before, this isn't it, I've also been seeing a psychologist who is aware of everything. We're working on helping me recognise red flags in relationships and it is helping. Commenter 2: I have PTSD (military) and the mind slams are really hard to manage. I understand why you spiralled, as you couldn’t properly rationalise the abuse Kate and May were throwing at you. Nor could you process it. It became part and parcel of your trauma — just another layer being added. It does get better, as I hope your psychologist is helping you see, and when others begin to cause problems that start to trigger you, you’ll have new tools to stop them short. Take care and best wishes to you. OOP: You actually summed it up perfectly there, I hadn't even thought of it that way. My psychologist has been helping, after the break-up I did feel a lot of anxiety leave, but I know I've developed new ones. Thank you so much. Can OOP report Kate and May to the police for stealing/theft? OOP: I talked to a friend who is a cop, and he said that it shouldn't have been a civil matter since they had no legal way to get inside. But he said since they made that call I have to go to court to try and get stuff back. And I can't afford to deal with legal fees at this point. I was in a more specific aspect of law enforcement. We only dealt with things within a specific region and didn't cover residential situations. So I never handled domestic violence cases or anything to do with breaking and entering. I know the general idea, but I wanted to confirm since he has experience in those areas. OOP shouldn't have let Kate into the house OOP: I didn't, the doors were locked she came in through a window and unlocked everything from the inside. My brother arrived and text me they were inside. I couldn't stop her retrieving her property, it would be theft, so it was placed in the garage with the exception of boxes I had yet to sort through to gather ny belongings from. I told them to not enter the house in person and via message. Commenter 3: You broke up your engagement a month ago perhaps lay off the dating and stay single and focus on your mental health and wellbeing? OOP: My biggest issue was a lack of safety in my home. In the past month I have regained that safety. We've been on 3 dates in the past week and a half for a few hours each time, we're both pretty busy and won't see each other for a bit. But we text and call, not ready for a serious relationship because I need to work on myself and they are understanding of that. I'm also talking with a psychologist who is giving me some good tools and mechanisms to recognise any abuse signs. Commenter 4: Let the things go. They're things and can be replaced. May and Kate are absolutely together. They've been a couple this entire time and you've been a cash cow. You survived on the job trauma and an abusive relationship. Do yourself a favor, get yourself a pet (I like cats but dogs are good, too) from the shelter. No, don't go to a breeder. Specifically get a rescue. Why? It's hard to explain but there's healing to be had there. Then go and gest therapy. Just work on you and get healed. Keep us updated. OOP: That's actually my entire plan, I replaced the console, I plan on going to a shelter soon, I have been rearranging the house. Had too many echoes of them. I would love a dog but I wouldn't have the time with my schedule, so I'm getting a cat because I miss the one we shared and it'll be easier and cheaper. I don't think there will be any more updates unless she takes me to court. Commenter 5: Please consider getting some professional counseling, or you may end up in the same situation as before. If money is an issue, then consider free support groups such as ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families). If you haven't been in a war, I suspect your PTSD has come from your childhood. In that case, it's worse than someone who has been in a war, because it was abusive for a very long time and inescapable, causing complex PTSD, or C-PTSD. And, males from this situation often go into law enforcement, which makes it even worse. It will take 2 years of serious emotional work to find your true self and live it. So, for your sake, no serious relationships until you've done the work. OOP: You're actually the first person to make this type of assertion and be right. I have a lot of childhood trauma that I am currently working on with my psychologist. I have had previous PTSD diagnoses, but working with my current one to figure out if C-PTSD is more fitting. My psychs main goal is recognition of red flags and how to healthily set and then reinforce my boundaries. I still use a lot of the methods from my previous times in therapy which do help. But I can recognise that I've developed new anxieties and I probably have some triggers I'm not aware of yet. Commenter 6: God luck in your new relationship. Don’t let people treat you the way may and Kate did. Most importantly rely on your support system when you second guess yourself. Do t let people gaslight you into apologizing. Stay happy out there. OOP: Honestly they've already shown me a lot more care and attention. I told them about a book I had been looking for, for 5 years on our first date. On our second they told me they found and ordered it for me, which is something Kate would never have done. My psych is helping me recognise toxic patterns to avoid, and my friends are helping a lot.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Just got a brand new couch… and my brother-in-law’s kids got lice on it.
https://preview.redd.it/6zky9u7z36bf1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14d60860644109b0cb74963305b7f732a091a69c Just got a new couch a couple days ago. Today, my brother-in-law came over with his kids, and they all made themselves comfortable. A few hours later, my wife was cutting one of his kids hair and discovered they have lice. This isn’t the first time this has happened. They’ve brought them over with lice before. No warning, no heads-up, just show up and let the kids run around and sit on everything. And the refuse to treat it, going as far as to shave the kids hair before (2 being school age girls). I’m honestly pretty frustrated. It’s not hard to let someone know ahead of time when your kids have something contagious. We’ve said something before, and clearly it didn’t stick. Just tired of the complete lack of consideration. Edit: Thanks for all the tips. This isn't our first encounter so we already have all the treatments, oils, combs, etc ready to go from previous times. I know the couch isn't ruined, we just need to avoid it for a couple days. I'm just annoyed that I can't spend my holiday weekend chilling on my new couch watching a movie with the kids. Yes, they are my nieces and nephews, but this is isn't really their fault, which is why I emphasize they are my brother-in-law's kids. Him and his ex-wife should be help responsible for never taking care of their kids properly. No, I will not be cutting them out of our life. My wife has already had enough loss on her side of the family, and she loves them even with all the issues. Yes my Christmas stockings are still up, I never take them down and honestly my kids have already been asking for us to put the tree up because they enjoy looking at them. And yes that is a Christmas themed pillow on the old recliner in the corner of the picture, our dog uses it as a bed. Sorry my family enjoys the holidays. For anyone curious, this is the Midnight Madness couch from Ashley and Bel Furniture. Ashley price matches Bel since they carry the same furniture. The ottoman is from the stupendous set. Another edit: CPS where we are from doesn't care. They've done house visits for other issues I won't get into, but unfortunately they really just don't care. Their mom works for the city and has friends all over. Generally my wife is the one who takes the time to treat and clean their hair but she refused this time. She has too many health problems that make it hard for her to stand for extended periods of time and use her hands too much. She lost one brother to cancer and her mother died young as well. She will not cut her last brother off regardless of how much of a pain he is and I don't expect her too. I know some of you really hate my couch but it's super comfy and I love it. It's not the boneless ones from Amazon (which is also very comfy, a friend has it) it has wood framing in it. Something else here idk. submitted by /u/Stuperstrong to r/mildlyinfuriating [link] [comments]

First time on PS5 after a lifetime of PC gaming. It exceeded my expectations !!!!!
I know I’m late to the PS5 party, but there’s a reason for it. I’ve always been a PC gamer. I never really gave consoles a chance because every review and everyone I knew always leaned toward PC being the superior option. I’ve always been a competitive gamer—countless hours spent grinding Valorant and CS with friends. But lately, I started craving slower, story-driven games to relax and unwind. When I heard how incredible Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3 were, I decided I didn’t want to play them sitting at my desk. I wanted a more laid-back experience—on the couch, in comfort. At first, I thought, Why get a console when I can just connect my PC to my 65” 4K 120Hz OLED TV? My RTX 2070 Super handles these games at 100+ FPS just fine. But as much as I enjoyed the games, using a PC like a console was… frustrating. It’s not a simple “press and play.” Even with Steam Big Picture, there are always little steps and annoyances. The Xbox controller I used kept disconnecting, and random Windows popups would break immersion mid-game. It just didn’t feel smooth. So finally, I said, “Screw it. I’m getting a PS5.” I got home, set everything up, and remembered I had a bunch of Best Buy points saved. I used them all and ended up paying just $150 CAD for a brand-new PS5. Unboxing the PS5 was a different kind of excitement. It felt like my inner child came back to life. There’s something magical about opening a brand-new console for the first time. I connected it to the TV and subscribed to PS Plus Extra. Right off the bat, Astro’s Playroom and the DualSense controller blew me away. Then I dove into Ghost of Tsushima and God of War. Both absolutely blew my mind. With bookshelf speakers plugged in, the impact of Kratos’s every move feels intense and immersive.The games are so well optimized for consoles in comparison with pc. That’s when I realized how cozy and effortless console gaming is. The Quick Resume feature is unreal as games boot almost instantly from rest mode. And the PS5 runs so quietly, even during graphically heavy gameplay. My PC can deliver similar visuals, but it sounds like a jet engine in comparison. FPS games like Warzone are tough since I’m so used to mouse and keyboard, but I’m slowly getting the hang of the controller. Overall I’m incredibly happy and honestly a little regretful I didn’t make the switch sooner. BTW What do you think of my setup? 😄 submitted by /u/Away_Repeat_1304 to r/playstation [link] [comments]

I built the ultimate console killer! PC couch gaming FTW hehe! It took me almost one year to plan, build, film and edit a full timelapse from unboxing to gaming benchmarks. Here are some pictures and the link to the video, enjoy!
