I stopped chasing benchmarks a few years ago. Its hit the point of diminishing returns and the quality of the experience is extremely poor. Its almost just " Look at my number " by people who do not even play video games.
Yep.

Hardware maturity is what all the overweight tech-journalists were barking for by the mid 2000's,
now they can roll more dollars into twinkie funds and medical payments.

I've been doing a lot more emulating and enjoying the backlog of 20 years of console games I never bothered with.
PS1 is my cut off for consoles:

Tenchu 1
Bushido Blade
GT2 (for nostalgia)

I recently found an old WII for $50 with 4 controllers/nunchuks from a nursing home. Looked like it has been used twice. (had original walmart receipt for $450+) Hacked that and the kids and I are having a lot of fun with the entire library on a 1tb external HD
Had some friends that liked the WII party games, that one with the rabbits iirc.

My last big upgrade was for VR, and I own two HTC Vives. That was a total blast, and its hard to go back from VR, so they are in storage ;w; Along with my 27inch curve ;w;

Very aesthetic setup. I would prefer 22in CRT for perfect Blood emulation.

I played blood on release, good shit.
