  • I only played it for about 10 hours myself. The castle is awesome but I lost interest once I unlocked the broom. It took all the wonder out of the game. If I were to compare it to Witcher 3, at least on your horse you would find all these nooks and crannies to discover and investigate between point A and B. In HL you can zip around like nothing once flying is unlocked and there are more side markers than a full Assasins Creed map out of the gate. I dunno, it just killed it for me for some reason at that point.


  • Same here man. I just bought paladin for D4 and am having fun, but having a hard time getting them to bite for even the base game. I’ve told them about other 2P games I own only to find they blow me off and play them in their own duo pairs. We’ve been friends a long time, but I have younger kids so the stars have to align for us all to be able to play together.

    We are now playing Bellright over the holiday break but it’s a little slower than I’d like. Some others are playing LoL which is okay but still a bit too rage inducing at times for me.

    The only reason I was able to play RVTY is because I had it through Family games.




  • Welcoming the incoming dowvotes for correcting your comment just like the many similar comments and posts I’ve seen on Reddit, but this is purely a configuration issue.

    Transcoding on local network is allowed without a subscription. If you are running your own DNS server (like pihole or unbound) you need to configure an internal “plex.direct” record. You also need to uncheck an option to “treat your WAN IP as internal” option which corrects double NAT issues.

    I have yet to see a need to move away from Plex. I paid for the cheap lifetime sub over a decade ago at this point and everyone I invite to my server has no complaints and has not had to pay Plex a dime. I don’t use their plex.tv proxy, I direct connect to my own IP and leave their remote proxy option off in the server and everything works great.

    I will check out Jellyfin at some point if Plex makes things more difficult in time, but for now these articles are literally just rage bait in the homelab ecosystem. They enacted this back in April of 2025 already!






  • Watch the switch 2 announcement direct. It’s full of third party developers “happy to finally bring their games to switch” that have been released over the past 7 years on every other platform. Most of them playable on steam deck or other competing handhelds. I felt really bad for Nintendo during the direct and was a big decision point for me to not be a day 1 buyer even as an avid Nintendo fan. I will buy when the next major Zelda releases, and I will look for second hand devices before buying new.


  • I’m querying my internal meme database and if I recall weren’t these pictures of before and after Square announced FF VII port for the PS3. Not the remaster, just a playable port. And the pictures are reversed timeline, meaning they were very excited (bottom picture), but then quickly disappointed (top picture) after realized Square pulled a switcharoo? Could be wrong but going crazy with the thought now!




  • It felt really bad during the third party showcase for games like Elden Ring and Hogwarts that have been available on the steam deck since launch.

    I just bought a refurbished steam deck last year for less than the price of the Switch 2 and will have a hard time justifying the purchase. I do love Nintendo though and typically buy a good chunk of their first party games. The new 3D DK looks amazing and I loved the BotW Warriors title, so I have high hopes for the new as well.
