The video honestly looks like something one of my hillbilly uncles would come up with and I'd never believe him.

I have been slowly trying to incorporate everything they host onto my own archival server.
The full set of Nintendo power scans was something I was pleasantly surprised by. Haven't seen that anywhere else.

I might even overlook the performance, bugs, and n64 quality textures of the switch pokèmon games if they could ever do that. I've just been hurt release after release by a franchise I used to love so I've become kinda jaded towards anything Gamefreak.

The devs and most fans get so hung up on Master Chief that they forget what a vast and interesting universe has been created. I'd even love to see other genres in that universe, possibly as an ODST or regular marine rather than only focusing on what the war is like for Spartans.

I'm also in love with the platinum style of game design so I might not be the best person to ask. There is at least one person that enjoys that game though.

I doubt I'll be able to do much on my own, but I'd be willing to contribute if the community ever agrees on a new fork. Just downloaded the latest source today so I can start poking around at it.
I really hope development picks back up someday. No other switch emulator comes close to the features and compatibility of Ryujinx.

I'm pretty sure Steams official stance on transfer of ownership is 'never going to happen' though. So if that's something you're worried about then maybe stick to one account.

Didn't realize just how slow the thing was until it started to get serious slowdowns playing Pokerogue.... A 2d browser game that my phone runs perfectly.
It's crazy that nobody is making something competitive to the iPad.

All I can find is a widget for 'favorite' apps. A sorted home screen with app folders will always be nicer than a complete search.

I tried jellyfin a couple months later and now I'm over a year into using it and couldn't be happier.
I typically handle metadata through tiny media manager though so maybe that's the difference. Jellyfin just has so many plugins and skins for whatever I want to do. I'm sure plex has similar functionality but it felt so much more daunting to get going with it. -

The one big thing I miss is how easy Vivaldi made it to turn literally any website into a self contained process like normal PWAs. Firefox has an addon for this but it requires installing seperate software and every PWA uses the same seperate Firefox install so I can't have sandboxed cookies/addons per app.

Inspections for cars in the US can vary wildly depending on where you live. When I lived in Missouri I knew a few mechanics who would sign off on your car as long as the engine cranked and the windshield was mostly intact. Passing inspection has very different meanings depending on where you live and which mechanic you use here. The government doesn't give a shit as long as a mechanic with the proper credentials signs off on it.
At least in the new england area it seems like vehicle inspection is taken more seriously though.
