if it can upscale 1080 ti 4k, does that mean I don’t need my 4k collection anymore? It sounds too good to be true.
Because it is. While it does do a decent job upscaling, it’s not some magical thing. Keep the 4k, and be pleasantly surprised when older content looks nice on the larger display.
Good to know!
I can’t speak to the others, but I have a couple 8bitdo controllers and they’re fantastic. If the aliexpress listing is legit, I’d go with that one, no question.
I’ve never heard of the other two brands, but cursory googling doesn’t sound promising for them.
Fair. I did stray from the “rpg” theme on… Most of my responses.
Will look up Spirit of the North though! It sounds right up my alley
For real. Its high time I replay it, too. Been long enough that I just remember general themes.
You sound a lot like me, and probably get annoyed with a lot of grindy mechanics. Especially when you have limited time to play games.
Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes will really scratch that Chronotrigger itch.
Outer Wilds is also incredible (don’t read spoilers, just go in blind). It’s mini space exploration with cartoon-arcadey newtonian physics.
Sword & Sworcery is also great, and a good point-and-click adventure with an amazing soundtrack. I’d almost argue it’s better on a tablet or largeish phone through. It’s very touch input focused, which is OK with a mouse, but I think is better with a finger (as intended)
Others I enjoy :
Yeah. It’s weird. Sometimes a show will pop up to load via jellyfin, which I didn’t use.
There are still some design choices in Kodi that I don’t like (e.g. media continues playing in the background, and messes up the home navigation), but I just need to search their wiki for answers.
Yeah, that’s what I finally settled on. My only gripe is that it doesn’t sync with the homescreen/launcher.
My initial test with Kodi gave me xbmc flashbacks, and felt like I had gone back in time. But a more modern skin and different ui sounds make a huge difference
honestly it’s baffling that I’ve spent 30 years on the internet and can understand so little of it
100% agree.
Honestly, I had to google it, too :D
As far as I know, they mean “Personal Video Recorder” in a fashion similar to “DVR”/“Digital Video Recorder” like the one your cable company provides. It’s a little misleading, imo, because it doesn’t do any recording, but I didn’t come up with the name, so who knows.
Sonarr (and the other 'arrs) is just a management tool. From the servarr wiki:
Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.
At a high level, you tell it where your current tv show episodes are saved, and add new shows as you want. It then automates the process of searching and downloading. But you still need to have an indexer and download client. If you’re not able to find shows searching your current tracker/indexer, Sonarr won’t have any better luck.
Finding a good source of the media you want is the most important part. If you’re not comfortable with installing and managing your own server applications, the *arr stack could be overwhelming at first. The wiki I linked has a lot of good information to get you started.
Sadly, phone/tablet only at this point. I may give it a go anyway, but I’m not expecting much bc it’s meant for touch, not keyboard/remotes
The android tv app is why I switched to Emby. I mostly liked jellyfin everywhere except the one place I would use it the most.
A few of the fixes for things that strongly turned me off were added as feature requests, but the devs seemed to blow them off as unnecessary or “impossible” (even though the “impossible” is done in every other android tv app, including Emby). Their perceived attitude really turned me off of it.
