Patient gamer reporting here.

I have neither and still find the Steam Deck more appealing for me.

Whiiiich, lends me to the next question, is the Steam Deck an inferior product compared to all the other existing PC handhelds? I mean we all know we have seen the Steam Deck basically created this new sector (inspired by the Switch), but I have seen lots of hate, or lots of praise towards it, by different users and I can’t exactly pinpoint which is the truth (it seems like the console wars of nowadays lol), at the point that all the praise the Steam Deck gets is a meme (I see this behavior on YT especially where this handhelds really show).

I still think the Steam Deck has the best price, but at the time I have enough income for getting one (and putting aside they don’t ship to Mexico) I think the market will have newer alternatives lol.

kratoz29 ,

Huh, TIL the Pi had competition.

and will have the longest support.

I thought Valve wasn’t known for a long support for handheld, at least that is one comment a friend of mine said (that the Deck would be forgotten as the Steam controller).

kratoz29 ,

often have worse frame pacing and battery life especially compared to the OLED model.

Yeah, honestly the fact that the Deck with less raw power leaves similar results is a huge positive point I guess, I honestly haven’t seen anyone complaining that much because of the performance issues.

And yeah, better battery life is always good in my book, I think other handhelds have a joke of battery life.

kratoz29 ,

I’m not sure what else they’d need to do. Other than still produce it, I suppose 😅

Yeah this is the part I’d be worried about if I get a Steam Deck and it has no successor 😅

kratoz29 ,

but Windows is so astonishingly terrible on handhelds

The way you are telling me this reminds me of the old HP windows laptops I used to use that their battery life did not even last 2 hours lol (I eventually got a MacBook Pro and that was a massive upgrade).

I still don’t picture windows doing that great with laptops (as in optimization), but I don’t know, I have seen very good laptops with good specs very recently that it could maybe make up for Windows being not optimized for anything.

kratoz29 ,

You can downvote me too, I don’t really care about imaginary numbers. No need to apologize.

You care enough to be bothered with Lemmy.

I am just disappointed that Lemmy was supposed to be a better place than Reddit, but my experience on Lemmy has actually become worse than my experience on Reddit.

I mean, at least this can be fixed, you can’t really fix Reddit.

And I think we still have a better experience on Lemmy than Reddit, for starters we don’t have ads here wink.

TBH I agree with you, 2 secs doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, especially when many other awesome games implement it, but that could also be because I have been desensitized from the daily ads of my life (it used to be worse, I have an ad blocker for anything, but I still use open TV as a background noise and there are some other advertisements you can’t just evade).

I agree with the statement up here that when we allow these 2 secs it lets the path open for more annoying stuff in the future, but also it is ultimately a decision from Nintendo to continue the deal with them if it is annoying enough for most users.

kratoz29 ,

Lemmy was not always like this. But since about 7 or 8 months ago, it became this way. And there is no going back.

Well, are we gonna ignore where the biggest influx of ppl comes from?

I’d say don’t take it too personal if other ppl think differently than you, I think this is the healthiest approach we all can take (especially when we are discussing hobbies).

This stopped being a matter of Lemmy vs Reddit, you can’t really fix Internet people, and that is to be expected.

kratoz29 ,

I think you mildly infuriated some users here.

kratoz29 ,

Does it have trakt integration or similar equivalent?

It has a subpar integration, if you care too much about this kind of stuff (getting a whole working multimedia center, and thinkering in general) and have a proper device that can handle Kodi in a lagless manner, I’d say you stick with it.

If you want a set it and forget it kind of solution and have less sophisticated hardware Stremio + a Debrid provider is golden.

(My Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 struggles with Kodi and a Debrid/streaming setup, also is significantly slower than Stremio).

kratoz29 ,

I use Real Debrid with Stremio + Torrentio. I just need to figure out how to add the manual torrent search & download plugin for Real Debrid since I watch a lot of obscure British TV, not everything is hosted already.

If you mean caching content to RD I think you can do this with the Unchained app, if you use Android, or you can do it pretty much anywhere you like using the RD website.

Then you can use the DMM addon to watch it on Stremio, or probably it will show up with any addon that supports RD, or if not then you can simply use the Debrid manager that is available at Torrentio, or as a standalone addon.

kratoz29 ,

It doesn’t right away (after a fresh reboot) but it fails eventually, as Kodi is my heaviest app, it could be due to my skin, but man, some ppl say Stremio is ugly, but Kodi with stock addon is way uglier that is not even pleasen to use, my skins aren’t the heaviest, Arctic Horizon 2 and Fuse.

It also could be because the Shield TV is my secondary Plex Server and that would bring some background load (even when it is not serving media), but I have done tests with and without this, same for the PlexKodiConnect addon.

kratoz29 ,

Well, I’d definitely call that an improvement for those psychos who watch movies there in incontable chunks… (Yeah, this species exists).

kratoz29 ,

Hmm, this is an interesting question, as I live in a 3rd world country it is hard to pinpoint exactly which event drove me to this beautiful world.

With that said, the first console that we ever had (sis and I) was a PS1, it came with Gran Turismo and DBZ Ultimate Battle 22, I think.

Anyway, I was probably 6 years old, and my dad took care of chip it (took it to a place, it is common to do that in Mexico) and then I got the pirated games for dirt cheap in flea markets and such, a similar event happened with the PS2.

But when I truly sailed the seas for myself, at least in a gaming scenario, happened when I got my Nintendo DS phat, I quickly knew about a R4, and managed myself to find ROM sites, homebrew, heck I used to use Windows Live Messenger in that little thing lol (DS Lite at that time).

I mean, I pirated software for PC and possibly burned some games for the PS1/PS2 before having the DS, but having unlimited portable fun with the DS (and then the PSP) was when I turned into a no return point.

kratoz29 ,

Can’t unseen it now, thanks.

kratoz29 ,

Man, now the PS1 needs to catch up!

kratoz29 ,

Or AdAway, of any of your preferred DNS blocking methods.

kratoz29 ,

Yep, nothing beats Sync, although the other existing apps are great, and have been great since the beginning if you ask me.

If you wanna know why I chose Sync instead of any other app is because the damn app can survive even the worse ROM you use and it doesn’t matter how atrocious your RAM management is, you are likely never gonna miss the position you left when you minimize and open other apps.

The app basically saves the state where you were and it is highly unlikely that you lose the track of it, even on aggressive RAM management ROMs like MIUI, it still stands better than the others, I experienced the same with Sync for Reddit.

iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air (9to5mac.com)

On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.

kratoz29 ,

Perhaps with a more robust OS, such as Linux or macOS the battery and thermals would just not suffice?

I mean, an iPad is basically a larger phone, which I think can get hot enough if pushing it to its limit

Also I don’t think the RAM would be enough for intensive tasks, the device as it is could be pretty good for gaming though, if only the title list wouldn’t be a shit for the most part.

But at the same time, a MacBook Air doesn’t seem much bigger compared to the biggest iPad available.

kratoz29 ,

Making the prior iPad “obsolete” Apple nailed it 🤪

kratoz29 ,

For Lemming harder.

kratoz29 ,

It is, but it would be like saying Android is just another Linux variant.

What I want to stress in my initial comment is that the OS is so heavily modified and focused on optimization and RAM management, that it can’t hardly work for power users when multitasking is on the board.

kratoz29 ,

Always has been.

Did Siri be good at any moment though?

I remember it sucked since its conception and in the most recent iOS versions too.

kratoz29 ,

This makes sense, now that I think about it, there used to be a tweak that mimics Siri for devices that didn’t support it, it was called Sara lol.

And yeah Siri was better but still Sara shipped some interesting ideas like keyboard support, like any ideas that Apple took from old tweaks.

where do people with pirated copies of games meet to play online together ?

I recently got into fighting games (like: kof - street fighters - Mortal Kombat - Guilty Gear…etc). Now you can pirate the game, and you can play it online with someone if the two of you agree on using same pirated copy and Hamachi for example, but where do you meet these people to play with? are there dedicated forums for...

kratoz29 ,

But if you can arrange play sessions with acquaintances, it would be fine wouldn’t it?

kratoz29 ,

You got me thinking here, what is it when the hospital realizes about this fuck up? They just kidnap him, sedate him and remove the improvements? 🤔

kratoz29 ,

What is that Hulu you are talking about, we never got that in Mexico (nor Pandora now that I am talking about it).

In this day and age where everyone wants its piece of the cake it is weird to me that they never cared about more countries xd.

kratoz29 ,

I’d use Thunder more if they had mark as read while scroll, and hide read posts (I think they already have the later) if these requests are outdated please lemme know.

kratoz29 ,

And the Miyoo Mini!

kratoz29 ,

I think the handheld era is my favorite, it basically ended with the 3DS, but it is the DS which I really can’t put down, I am playing for the first time Chrono Trigger on it, and it is my Jump Ultimate Stars machine (Wimmfi), also have some other bangers as well, but I’ll bore you if I citate them all.

But hey, don’t get me wrong, the current handheld era is good too, we have the Switch, The Steam Deck and a plethora of good quality Chinese handhelds.

kratoz29 ,

Is there any tool like this for macOS?

kratoz29 ,

Ok, this summary won’t be useful in this article 😂

kratoz29 ,

Stremio/Kodi + a debrid service or your HDDs carefully crafted with content though Arr services and with Plex/Jellyfin, or both.

That setup will be infinitely better than any streaming service.

kratoz29 ,

What is your setup? It works perfectly fine for me with Android mobile, Android TV (Shield TV Pro) and macOS.

kratoz29 ,

Found them!

The only way I can conceive this is useful is for OSTs and such.

Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites (www.theverge.com)

In February, HouseFresh managing editor Gisele Navarro called out publishers like BuzzFeed and Rolling Stone as some of the culprits that publish content about air purifiers despite a lack of expertise — but Google rewards these sites with high rankings all the same. The result is a search results page filled with SEO-first...

kratoz29 ,

Same bro, same, for simple shit I usually end up using Perplexity to avoid the garbage articles.

kratoz29 ,

To my natal country México huh? You Google like cheap man-power don’t you?

kratoz29 ,

It is a secret /s

kratoz29 ,

I mean, you chose to have them on someone else’s computer, your butthole was never safe.

kratoz29 ,

I used it a lot when I was in college, it was very useful for that case scenario, I’m talking around 2011-2014, after that it is just sitting there without much usage from my side (especially since I got a Synology NAS), I remember doing “hacks” to get more free storage lol.

Anyway, I think cloud services are used a lot nowadays, just as they were when they became mainstream…

kratoz29 ,

If this is some kind of question like “you can only play this in your lifetime” I’d pick up a DSi XL or closely a 3DS, I enjoy the DS library more, so it would be a downgrade doing it there, unless things have changed since the last time I checked.

The reasons are simple, it has tons of great titles and many of them have a high replayability value.

kratoz29 ,

I don’t know man, I had my fair share of fun with a pair of Nyan Cat games, the original Plants Vs Zombies, Nimble Quest (I just got this again on Android and cracked the heck out of it with Lucky patcher, and still suck lol), Tiny Wings, Angry Birds and I could be missing some others.

kratoz29 ,

That you didn’t like them doesn’t mean they sucked, look along this thread and you’ll find ppl sharing titles worthwhile back then (me included), ofc, this is not GOTY material, but a game must not be a masterpiece in order to be enjoyable, which ultimately is what all games are for, to be an enjoyable hobby.

kratoz29 ,

At least in Android you can install old games yet, I just installed Nimble Quest and had a blast as of recently.

kratoz29 ,

Oh yeah, I fired up my old iPhone 6s to play the Infinity Blade II, no regrets!

kratoz29 ,

Massive spoilers, you should just have provided the video to bring full context my friend!

kratoz29 ,

The only thing that keeps me motivated to use the audio jack is because my old car still has an old stereo and I use it daily, and I am too lazy to use dongles lol.

As a matter of fact here is a pic of a disc that my girlfriend bought recently because it was on discount, and we tried it in the car for the first time ever! (We also don’t usually buy discs, this would be the first time in more than a decade).
