Just wanted to get it off my chest that I haven't touched War Thunder since I uninstalled it a month ago. That is all.

If you can't force yourself to beat the base game then you will not enjoy the DLC. If you somehow want to finish the game it's best to rope other people in with you so you can lessen the impact on your mental state.

These are probably not big enough for their own threads - two outstanding new games came out this week - Void Bastards and It Lurks Below.
Void Bastards is brilliant. In it you play a spacefaring miscreant, travelling across the galaxy looting semi-abandoned spaceships. How it plays out is like a mix of FTL and Doom - starting on the galaxy map like FTL, you choose your next ship to visit from one of the three branches available, with every ship having its own quirks - if you are running low on health, you will probably want a medical ship, if you are running low on cash you want a casino ship, and so on. Once you have reached the new ship, you board it and the game shifts to fps - and in first person you sneak about the ship looking for loot and fuel and trying to avoid the various enemies on board. Here's the trailer -

It Lurks Below is something different entirely. Made by David Brevik, best known for his work on the original Diablo, it is an action-rpg that plays sort of like Terrarria with more hack n slash. Like Terrarria, it's a 2d platformer where you dig up ore, chop down trees, and craft it into tools and weapons. Like Diablo, there are also bosses and minibosses to fight, and they drop gear that is better than the stuff you can craft. There's not really much else to explain - if you liked Terrarria, you'll probably like It Lurks Below. Here's the trailer -

Split storage, 100%. Maybe 64GB flash to run off of and a mechanical hard drive for storage. Dump/load everything into the SSD and run from there, similar to how the original Xbox used its hard drive.
The source of the super-speed for their SSD that Cerny talked about have sort of been revealed now that AMD has published some details of Zen 2. Unless Sony has gone insane and is also using Optane for the SSD part, but that would either shrink the the size of it dramatically or raise the cost significantly.

One thing that does concern me about PS5 is the fact that SSDs have shorter lifespans than HDDs by nature

That's largely overblown these days and I'm sure Sony has taken that into account when picking out the type of memory they use. Most people play the same game for a while, let's say three days, during that time the game isn't erased from memory. With maybe 2,000 write cycles, switching between big games every third day that completely re-writes every single cell, then it would still last for 6,000 days. Reads are no problem.
They probably have some hybrid scheme going where if there is room and a new game fits in that room it will be installed there instead of erasing the entirety of GTA 7 and maybe even if just 3 gigs of GTA 7 was overwritten those are the only parts that will be re-written. Pure speculation but they've thought it through, they're can't be that special in the head to overlook it.
It would be funny if Bethesda bungles an Elder Scrolls 6 patch and cripples PS5's by having the game bug out and just constantly writing quicksaves to the SSD at speeds of 2GB per second for every second the game is running.
edit: I have a bog standard and cheap MX500 SSD, it is rated for 400 terabytes written, that shakes out to writing 1.1TB per day for a year or 110gigs per day for 10 years. That scales with the size of the drive, smaller size lesser write tolerance, so the comparison is a bit wonky, but SSDs are fine these days.

I replayed Link's Awakening on the Game Boy and it still holds up, even with the nostalgia goggles off. It manages to be strangely wistful and beautiful with a minimum of visual or narrative detail. Even the music is fantastic. I'm very impressed.

I've had an extremely realistic dream about watching walkthrough of a s.t.a.l.k.e.r.-ish game called "Enigma Soil", went and googled that shit when I woke up, now feel like a moron.
