I watched a friend’s teenage son play a couple of times. They don’t seem to play battle royale or any kind of competitive mode anymore, they just chat and dick around in what seems to be seasonal levels. Reminds me of my WoW days where I logged in to do my dailies more for the social engagement than the actual gameplay.

I read your comment before the article and I thought you had made the second quote up lol, unbelievable. And people are throwing money at these guys?

Yep, at my previous job I moved a pretty complex build system from Jenkins to github actions. It worked fine and was much simpler to maintain.

And yes there are ways to run github actions on your own machine, but I haven’t tried it.

Most of the controllers beforehand had proprietary connectors that would never work in the PC.

That was in the 90s… 20 years ago I was gaming on PC with a PS1 dual shock using a cheap adapter, and then switched to the Xbox 360 controller which used a standard USB port.

Haven’t played origins but I’m pissed off just reading your comment lol, glad I haven’t bought an EA game in like 10 years

Yeah but for a publicly traded company, quarterly growth is the name of the game. If the numbers go down long enough, it’s game over for them.

I used a compose file from reddit and made a couple of adjustments, it was pretty quick and works great. I dont have a VPN though.

The various Gameboys, DS, Vita, … are all handhelds with much worse performances and graphics than the Switch. I’ve owned quite a few handheld consoles since the original Gameboy, and when I bought the Switch it had the best-looking games I had ever seen. Hence my response.

But yeah it’s been gathering dust since I got the SD :)

Yeah if you consider the steam deck and co to be consoles, which I don’t.

I was responding to the claim that the switch “has the worst graphics on a handheld”, which is obviously wrong.

Yeah I thought about it but IMO the Deck is a PC, as it runs a PC OS, games and software out of the box.

You must not have seen a lot of handhelds then. The Switch is the most powerful portable console ever… And honestly the first party games look and run pretty great for the price.

Nope, France. I checked because I wanted to pay for it after pirating it.

Same, stopped pirating when Netflix became available here. By 2024 I was subscribed to 4 different services, and was still missing out on a lot of cool stuff. So when I got my first Prime video ad I just said fuck them, bought a NUC, set up jellyseerr+Jellyfin+a bunch of *arrs, and canceled all my subscriptions. Now I can watch anything I want, and the experience is so much better than any of the legal services.

I recently… acquired Scavengers Reign. It’s one of last year’s best TV shows, but there’s simply no way to watch it legally in my country.

Wireguard, like all VPNs, definitely does E2E encryption. What would be the point of an unencrypted VPN?

As it seems nobody’s linked it yet, have you read Jellyfin’s hardware selection page? They go into great details about which HW features are required/desired.

In my case I’m running it on a NUC with an i3 8109U + 16GB RAM, it runs great with 2 or 3 transcoding jobs at once. Media are stored on 5400-RPM HDDs.

Jackett and prowlarr are redundant, other than that you’re pretty much set.

As for setting these up, in my case I winged it and went through the config pages, setting up what I thought was necessary, and it went mostly fine. If you have no idea what you’re doing with these good resources are https://wiki.servarr.com/ and https://trash-guides.info/

Because modern Java is an OK language with a great ecosystem to quickly build web backends. And there are lots of java devs which means more potential contributors.

No, the point is to use a legit copy of this game to run burned copies of other games.
