I never finished Zelda TOTK before my last switch broke, and they deleted all my save data from the cloud so I’m starting over on that one. No regrets

There’s usually a dip around Black Friday but yeah PS5 is a way better value overall if you are patient.

Yeah they are throroughly vetted and work well, competitively priced. I’ve never seen a reason to switch.

I think I tried it once.

I’ve never successfully started a bitttorrent seed. Advice?

Who’s the hot one?

What’s there not to understand? It’s a better version of the first one. Isn’t this what console makers have been doing since the beginning of time? Wii U was weird with the screen on the controller and everything. None of that with Switch 2. Just more of what made it good in the first place.

Yeah it would be very dumb not to capitalize on the success of the Switch.

They can add better upscaling at a minimum.

When we talk about FOSS, we talk about Free, Open Source Software. Plex is free but not open source, and it’s free price is not enshrined in it’s license as with other FOSS software, which means that there could be a rug pull at any time. But I think that’s unlikely due to its business model.

Jellyfin is FOSS software meaning it will stay free and open source due to its license.

I’m with you man, I’m all in favor of the idea. It’s just that I’m pretty sure that Nintendo looked at that market and decided that the risk to their core business was too great to take the plunge.

If anything, I think they’d just release their first party titles on other platforms before releasing a first party emulator (though I’d welcome either).

I don’t think I’d buy a Switch either if I could get the games easily and reliably elsewhere, like on the steamdeck.

You are clearly not in this target market, and that’s okay. You will be able to emulate most of this on your handheld of choice anyway.

The whole point of consoles is to have an easy to use out of the box experience. As soon as 3rd party hardware gets involved, that goes out the window. Look at the epic failure of steam boxes. Rumors are that the next iteration will be first party hardware for exactly this reason.

Seedbox VM running on my Synology permanently routed through VPN running radarr, sonarr, jackett, plex. I find stuff either by searching what’s new for the month or by occasional subscriptions of the streaming services.

This was cringe even in the '90s.

It’s the lack of anti trust enforcement in the USA that causes this. There is little to no competition left in many markets.

Well if all the good mods leave and you only have the bad ones left or people who come in just to profit, you get this.

For movies I will go the extra mile and break out Kodi and go with the big file as I will usually watch it right away and then delete it. For TV, 4k streaming is plenty good enough.

I find 4k streaming to be absolutely good enough for general tv streaming. It’s a bit better on some services than others. Amazon and Netflix do it the best, but it’s generally pretty good on all of the,.

I find it easier to get 4k streaming than to download such large files.
