I don't mind tasteful, well paced ads. That said, I use New pipe and Firefox with Ublock Origin because no one seems to remember what those are.
I 100% want a bowl of meat. However, if you're going to call it poutine with smoked meat then the poutine should be the star with the smoked meat being the flair, not the other way around.
Who, me? Never.
It's my fault. I signed up for it before I realized it was a pro China instance and the other day I said I'm not a Communist.
I posted elsewhere about my setup. I have a rig in one room and a mini PC set up as a "console" using HoloISO connected to a TV. I stream games to it.
If it's your only rig I recommend what the other person said. Get a full PC or catch a gaming laptop on sale unless you have a very specific use case. You can play modern games on higher end ones but you'll get more bang for your buck out of a PC. You can make your own Ship of Theseus and upgrade parts one at a time.
Zork. The original graphics were garbage.
It's definitely a show of its time. I haven't watched it in YEARS but I can't imagine a lot of it aged well.
That said, I enjoyed it.
Not a dumb question. That setup would probably work great for a lot of folks! There are some reasons it doesn't fit my particular use case.
First, I keep a few games installed locally (stuff with low requirements and emulator stuff). I like being able to do that because I don't keep those on my rig. Maybe that's possible with the Apple TV? I don't know. That leads right into my second reason...
I'm not part of the Apple ecosystem. I do own a MacBook (and a Mac mini from like 2008, but I don't think we'll count that) but it only ever gets used for music stuff. I have an Apple ID but don't even remember what email address I used to sign up. Apple anything never really crosses my mind. I would assume the interface is pretty good because Apple does tend to make a nice UI, but I have no idea.
Speaking of the interface, I wanted something as close to the deck as possible because, honestly, it's easy. That's the reason I didn't leave Windows on there. I could have had it boot directly into big picture mode but suspend doesn't work that great in Windows. Suspend works great and for my use it's no different than the deck. I think I mentioned earlier I had to make a Bluetooth change in desktop mode but that's been it.
Finally, I liked the idea of it. I have an extra input. I have the money for a cheap mini PC. I had the attention span for a short project. Setting it up made me so happy that I'm considering doing it to the living room TV as well. But I'm afraid it's diminishing returns so I'll work on something else next then maybe revisit it. Or maybe I'll put a console out there. Or maybe I'll do nothing and learn to paint. With the Adderall shortage I'm out here raw dogging reality so I'm quickly hopping from project to project. I need to keep them both doable and engaging or I'm going to have a bunch more half finished projects by this time next year.
On the other hand, for someone who has an Apple TV it might be a great solution. No hate from me however you want to set it up as long as it does what you want and makes you happy.
Artists of all types. Egirls. Game creators. News organizations.
It is. I'm decidedly not communist but I've definitely been called one.
Yeah, that's how Big Picture works. The suspend on it is the same garbage Windows suspend. I don't use it on my Deck, but it is on my main rig.
