My Card Is Better Than Your Card

I tried Jellyfin probably 2 years ago and it was fine but Plex is just “plug n play” in regard to my family setting it up themselves with little help from me.

Plexamp is the only way I stream music too so that’s a big reason why I won’t move yet.

In my opinion they should have just discontinued the lifetime sub instead of the ridiculous pricing and bad press.

There is a big different between Farming Simulator and something like Gas Stop Simulator though as the later games are just shitty asset flips of the same 5 minute gamepla loop.

Death Standing is one of my all time favourites but I also understand why it’s on this list.

It is an interesting report.

40w

It’s an old microATX build with 3 HDDs, 1 SSD, 1 M.2 and a Quadro P400 so I think 40w average is pretty good. It’s on 24/7 with no spin down.

Nintendo Switch

I’ve never really clicked with the Switch and we’ve had one since launch. It’s not all bad, handheld and home console in-one is a pretty cool concept, but it underwhelms in all ways. Also browsing the eShop is painfully slow too.

If I was starting new today I’d go for Jellyfin but my family is all set up for Plex now and I’m not going through that painful process again :D

In this case you’d be better off on Facebook and Reddit looking for local services that can help you.

The Little Ones dlc is also devistating great.

DoD Source and TF2 with a good community server was the best of times :(

Squad is by far the most with about 3.5k hours. I dont really like playing other games online nowadays but Squad really hits the sweet spot of 80% social 20% gameplay.

The rest of the list is probably Megadrive, N64 and Dreamcast stuff :D

Fission Mailed

Thunderbolt (1995) is a fun racing movie if you haven’t seen it before.

Also I love the Tokyo levels in Metropolis Street Racer and the Project Gotham Racing series so recommended those too.

As for Forza I don’t particularly care for the series anymore so won’t bother with the new one.

I feel like mods are coming back around to the general public again but I don’t think it’ll go as far as to take over a whole platform. Not even close to that happening.

Also a lot of us didn’t stop with mods and community servers etc but with the rise of PC gaming over the past 10 years of whatever comes a whole group of people who don’t even know how to troubleshoot the basics let alone make games…

Too many to name as the 80s through to early 2000s was full of them. Star Wars on the original Gameboy comes to mind though.

It look much more interesting than I remember from the announcement trailers and hopefully it has a good narrative.

Achievements were an interesting idea but ultimately they are meaningless. Especially now that they are everywhere… Like big whoop I got an achievement on the Google Games app, GOG Galaxy and Steam…

As for console commands it would be nice but most gamers don’t know that they are doing and would probably ruin it for themselves somehow. Breaking saves files or getting stuck in a crash loop.

Halo comes to mind straight away. The way the enemies react, dodging out the way or charging towards you was something special. Also the music score and freedom it gives you in the semi-open levels to play differently.
