Gris and Subnautica. For different reasons, they made me feel things I didn't think I could feel while playing video games anymore.
As a popular example, IMHO FFVII wouldn't have been half the game it became without its soundtrack.
I also have an external DAC (SMSL DO100), but the Pi struggled feeding it data.
I think Persona 4: Golden is a good entry point into the franchise.
Money has nothing to do with it
While I agree with everything else, I think it's the opposite of this, money has everything to do with it. If people stopped preordering and buying day 1 every AAA game, they would rethink their strategy, but since money keeps coming the don't need to change much.
I've been thinking about getting a thin client or similar for Hi-Res music listening for a while. I tried a Raspberry Pi 3b+ and the music sounded harsher and would crackle as soon as the Pi was doing anything else at the same time.
Having my PC on all day in summer is a bit overwhelming.
I found these some time ago:

But I haven't tried them myself. Might be worth a try.
I had a similar experience. Doom was pure shooting fun, while the platforming component they introduced in Eternal altered the essence too much for me. I finished Doom in a very short time but I never finished Eternal.
As a huge Gris fan, this is one of the few games I still await with excitement.
I took that for granted, It's Nintendo and they had several years of advantage.
Does this mean the Deck is struggling in Japan? I read it was doing well, but I couldn't find accurate numbers.
Many ganes are 80€ in Europe, some even in digital format, they can fuck right off
Last time I tried VLC, it didn't have the ability to play music without a gap between tracks and that was a deal breaker for me.
I played it at launch and stopped due to bugs and performance. Tried again a year and a half later but sadly the game didn't catch me.
Google tried this on YouTube some time ago. They wanted me to verify I'm an adult by sending them my ID or a credit card number. Sure, Google, sure, wait here. I'll be back in 5 minutes.
I use a Pico 4 for PCVR and it works quite well. Being wireless is a big pro of this kind of headset.
