Hello so I just wanted some recommendations on how I should partition my disk currently on C drive I have 106 gb available of 426 gb on a laptop please tell me and I currently have only two games Fh5 and fc26

First off, I hate this. This is not me being dramatic or overreacting. Ending physical media is a death knell for game ownership and I am not okay with it and you shouldn't be either.

Now here's what I've noticed. Every time a decision like this gets made, the hardcore gamers and influencers lose their minds. And they're right to. But there's a problem. The outrage cycle almost never actually works. The last time Sony tried to shut down the PS3 store, the backlash caused a delay. That's it. A delay. They just tried again and this time they're not blinking. That's because these companies have figured out that we will bitch, we will moan, we will make videos and sign petitions, and then we will keep handing them our money anyway. They have bet on that every single time and they have been right every single time.

The only thing that has ever actually worked, the only thing that will ever actually work, is making it stop being profitable. That means a full, focused, long term boycott of Sony. Cancel your PS Plus. Don't buy another Sony product. Don't touch another Sony game. Don't give money to anything Sony has their fingers in. No half measures, no "I'll just finish this one game first." The line has to be absolute because Sony will absolutely try half measures themselves. They will walk a few things back, wait for the sentiment to cool, and then try again. That cannot work this time.

I know that sounds like I'm calling for revolution over video games. Maybe I am. But here's the thing, this doesn't get discussed honestly enough. People act like organized consumer action is some insane overreaction when the reality is it's the only lever we actually have.

And here's the part that really kills me. I don't think it's going to happen.

I don't think hardcore gamers are united enough or have the willpower to disengage long term. A full boycott is next to impossible to maintain when the thing you're boycotting is also your hobby. And mainstream gamers, which is the majority, don't know and honestly don't care that they're getting financially screwed. They will keep handing over their cash and laugh at the rest of us for taking this seriously enough to try and organize. That's the trap and I genuinely don't see a clean way out of it.

So here's my practical advice for the people who actually give a shit. Buy physical whenever you can. If you're a PC gamer, stay on Steam and GOG. Steam isn't perfect but they have built up enough goodwill that they can be trusted for now, and I believe they have plans in place that would allow most games to be retained if they ever did go down. GOG is the gold standard though. DRM free. You actually own what you buy there. You know, like you should.

Because that's really what this is about. It's not that digital media is bad. It's that you don't actually own what you're paying for. If you did, this wouldn't be the crisis it is. Physical media bypasses that entirely. No server required. No authentication. No "foreseeable future" language that carries zero legal guarantee. Just a disc and compatible hardware.

The PS3 store closing is a preview of where all of this ends unless Stop Killing Games finds real success. A ton of games are going to be lost to time. The people who care have seen this coming. The only way it stops is if it stops being profitable and that takes a level of will and organization that I'm honestly not sure this community has.

I'm suggesting we start with Sony specifically because it's easier to boycott one than all of them. If we can financially cripple one company enough to force a real reversal, not a delay, a reversal, the others will get in line. If they don't, we keep going. But unless that happens, this is our reality. Companies will keep finding new and inventive ways to squeeze every last penny out of us while giving us less and less in return.

Oh and one last thing.

If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't theft.

For the longest time I kept seeing the same thing everywhere.

People looking for teammates on Reddit, Discord, Facebook groups, TikTok comments, game chats… and then half those groups disappear after one session or nobody ever talks again.

After dealing with it myself for years, I decided to try building something about it.

Over the last several months I’ve been working on TapTeam, a platform focused on helping gamers find teammates based on things like playstyle, goals, communication preferences, and the games they actually play.

The web version is live, and the mobile apps are now available on both Android and iOS.

Still early, still improving it, and definitely still learning as I go.

Would genuinely love feedback from fellow gamers.

What’s the biggest reason you think it’s become so hard to find consistent gaming friends these days?

It’s time to ask for your opinion, friends!

So, here’s the situation. I have a PS5, steamdeck and PC. And with PC i have a reeaaaally annoying problem!

I have 4070 Ti Super, a 240Hz 2K monitor, and some decent CPU—I don’t remember which one, lol.

I think that’s a pretty solid setup for gaming. And that’s exactly where the problem lies, because with many games (not the very newest ones, but roughly on the level of Cyberpunk 2077), I can either play in native 2K resolution at around 90 FPS, or in 2K with DLSS-quality enabled at 120 FPS.

Anyway, you get the idea.

And I don’t know what’s wrong with my brain, but I just can’t decide! Instead of enjoying the game, I spend half an hour in the settings menu, comparing options, realizing I can’t choose, losing interest, and closing the game.

To be honest, I’m tired of this.

So I just want to hear from you, my fellow gamers: what would YOU choose if you were in my shoes? What advice can you give? I’ll listen to any advice.

I only play single-player games.

Has anyone else already compared these options? Has anyone else struggled with the same problem as me and already come to some conclusion? I’ve only just run into this, and honestly, I don’t know what to do. I want to play, but my brain keeps thinking, “What if there’s a better way to experience this?” and that’s it—I end up not playing.

Please don’t write, “Decide what’s best and just play!” I don’t know what’s best. I just need a final decision that I can stick with going forward. Please make that decision for me—I’m totally fine with it. That would be the best outcome.

I honestly haven’t played games in so long. I recently started back up. I mean like a week ago… I don’t have any of the same people I had on games. How do I get people to play with me that from the games I play.
