> I don’t want to spend 20 minutes of the first hour in a settings menu. Get a console (PS5, Switch, Xbox), they cater to alleviating exactly that!

  Haha, until your PS5 demands a 40min patch to start the game. It's become almost a meme.... All the updates if you don't use those regularly and they don't stay in standby.

    > until your PS5 demands a 40min patch to start the game. Never saw that happen yet or even heard of that as a meme. Even if it does happen it would still be less jank than PC upkeep :)

      You probably pay monthly for their subscription service. With that, you can have it wake and auto-patch everything at night. At least, when I signed up back on the PS3, a subscription was required for that feature—maybe it's not anymore. Otherwise, it'd just hit you with the update when you tried to play. It'll still happen when you bring a new game home on disk, though. Plug in to play: "hold on while we patch for an hour". More or less, depending on your internet connection speed. Certainly none of the gaming services ever come close to saturating my gigabit connection, though, so there's a practical cap on how much that helps.
