Gym in actual garage, not loft space - folding rack experience

Hey folks I will be moving to a new house in short time and really excited to have home gym in garage. But as title says its main purpose is just to be garage - not storage, not laundry - garage with some spare meter or so when a car is parked. I have no issue pulling out car in front of it when working out, but the thing is that regular rack would not fit there - even half rack.

So what's your experience with folding ones? I saw two types of these - folding upwards and inwards. Any difference?

If this helps im in EU, not US.

PS Plus extra must plays

Which of the currently available in PS Plus Extra (J)RPGs would you consider must plays? Games that should be played na the ones to leverage the subscribtion we still have running before fading away from Sony for taking our physical media.

Lets not narrow down only to JRPGs, non J also welcome.

For me it's Like a Dragon and Infinite Wealth but im curious about yours, like recently added FFXVI

**Specs:**
- Mobo: ASRock LiveMixer B650 (BIOS 4.1)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7500f
- Boot drive: Lexar NM710 1TB NVMe
- Other drives: Kingston SA400S37 480GB, XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro 512GB, Crucial CT128MX100SSD1 128GB
- RAM: Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 6000 CL30 (in A2+B2)
- PSU: Chieftec Vega 750W ~7 months old

**Symptoms:**
- Intermittent boot failures from cold start and sleep/wake
- Black screen with blinking underscore
- Sometimes stuck on ASRock logo
- No keyboard/mouse power during failed boots
- Red BOOT LED on motherboard
- Best way to boot is mash F11 and select Windows Boot Manager partition
- Windows Recovery (I:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt) after failed self-repair
- Once booted, PC runs perfectly — hours of gaming, no crashes

**What I found (via bcdedit /enum firmware and partition analysis):**

  1. Kingston SSD had two leftover EFI/System partitions from an old Windows install — deleted via diskpart
  2. A rogue "UEFI OS" firmware entry pointing to the Kingston — deleted via bcdedit
  3. A second "Windows Boot Manager" firmware entry pointing to C:\ instead of the real EFI partition — deleted via bcdedit
  4. C:\EFI folder existed on the main Windows partition (should only be on the 100MB System partition) — deleted after taking ownership
  5. X:\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi (the UEFI fallback bootloader) was a duplicate from April 2024 — caused two identical "Windows Boot Manager" entries in UEFI
  6. Plugged out everything thats not needed - only Mouse and Keyboard left + Ethernet - no changes. Only HDMI left, one display is out, no adapters just pure HDMI cable so missing display is also not that imo.

**Current status:**
- Firmware now shows only one clean Windows Boot Manager entry pointing to the correct EFI partition
- C:\EFI deleted
- Still seeing intermittent boot failures — red BOOT LED randomly

I doubt its for example RAM as I can play demanding games for hours without any issue. Even with USB stick that has Windows 11 installer its difficult to trigger boot menu to select it to boot from that stick.
The fans do not make any extensive noise like I had in my previous build when PSU was not powerful enough (they went full power) - it sounds like regular boot but nothing happens.
