This has been true for a few years now, but indie studios have been making far more interesting games than the big studios. Add to that the fact that big AAA projects need to tack on tons and tons of money-making add-ons that degrade the experience in order to justify the cost of a decade of development, and the industry seems to actually be trending towards the artistry and innovation you mentioned.

Honestly I don’t remember ever hearing anyone mention Transistor since it released either. Hades definitely proved that they aren’t one hit wonders.

I am a patient gamer™ to the max but if you’re going to pay a higher price for any game this year, this is the one IMO.

Besides that, my only complaint with this game (and it is minor) is that I just can’t stand the UE5 slop anymore. I think Expedition 33 did possibly the best job I’ve ever seen with engine (the weird, amorphous detailed-but-generic textures didn’t detract as much as they usually do because of whole the painting-like aspect) but with everything else, like gameplay and story as strong as it was I would have preferred anything, even a low-res low-poly look.

This has to be the first time in history that the memes were wrong

What are you paying for 800gb?

Same honestly I look back at my younger self and I’m embarrassed. I think most of the debunking stuff out there just focuses on the “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” meme.

How did WTC7 burn and collapse when the only thing that hit it that day was a massive skyscraper? 🤔

You know more than me

Look into NGINX Proxy manager and DuckDNS

Portainer has worked well for me but it has so much that I don’t need or use. It looks like Dockhand has a Home Assistant integration which is nice, so I’ll check that out thanks for the rec.

Same and same! I don’t think it’s fully sunk in for a lot of Linux die-hards the game changer that is immutability/flatpaks.

Yes but I recommend waiting until someone makes a version of Linux specifically for Bigscreen because it’s not really ready yet

It’s in the post. They wanted immutability:

“Unraid has always been a so-called immutable OS— however you modify your server, if you go in there, you type the wrong command, you delete all the files from your root, you still could just reboot and you’re back to the virgin release… and that’s a big reason why we’ve chosen Fedora [uCore].”

— Tom Mortensen, creator of Unraid

Not running on a Pi yet, any spying would depend on the distro. There’s no dedicated Bigscreen distro yet but I’m pretty sure it’s being worked on.

That’s true even the premium brands won’t halfway decent CPUs in them to keep the giant bloated menus from stuttering.

There’s no best answer right now, Plasma Bigscreen is making good progress.

I have to imagine they’ll soon be putting cellular antennas in the TVs to circumvent all that anyway.

I could never get those Android TV builds to work with CEC which kind of defeats the purpose for me. I’ll try it out with the next update. Librelec had no issues.

I couldn’t find a working YouTube app on Kodi, nor any of the streaming sites (besides Disney plus oddly) nor Plex. It kinda felt like a real debrid frontend and graveyard of plugins.

Right and even if it “knew” the contents it still couldn’t interpret them or have a discussion about the meaning.
