I've had mine for a few weeks now and have experienced a few issues.

Mostly with game performance after it goes to sleep. Not sure why. Doom eternal was struggling at 45fps, but then I rebooted it and was getting 200fps in the same area on the same settings. It's made much worse if my son was playing a game and put it to sleep while the game was open. Even switching profiles doesn't improve it.

It gets stuck in a loop sometimes as well with CEC, I ended up turning it all off.

Sometimes it wakes itself up after going to sleep via the power menu, but if I let it wait 30 min it sleeps on its own no problem.

But other than that I love it. It's such a great device and it has pretty good performance for its power usage.

I have just started rebooting the machine after I wake it if I know the kids were using it.

My entire rare achievement showcase on steam is northgard and songs of conquest achievements. 0.1% for about 6 of them.

If the order is more granular that the pop up displays, Stoat master is the actual rarest.

Not sure why, it's a good clan!

I've seen people getting upset about this. I'm only upset because I have kidney issues and have to watch my sodium and meat really fucks me when it comes to sodium content.

I love mine. My kids have got a ton of value out of it and I enjoy it as well. I have some issues with the CEC and my sound bar just putting my tv in a loop when it sleeps, but I just turned those features off for now. Also sometimes when it resumes from sleep the performance is awful until I reboot it. Also the CEC settings don't apply to my kids profiles and they aren't allowed to adjust them so it's all a bit strange. But I'm sure some of the bugs will get resolved with software updates soon enough. Its a bit worse than my desktop PC performance wise but for 30W of power usage I don't care!

I have a pi hole and my wife likes the Google shopping links that it blocks and my sister in law likes to play games with ads. I ended up just making a bypass list and putting their devices on them.

I've been using nalgene bottles forever because I like my water room temperature. Im probably 80% microplastics now.

I'm currently reading Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. It's been really enjoyable and I look forward to finishing the trilogy.

Low power usage is also pretty cool.

Oddly enough, when it comes to metal/hardcore/pink there is a ton of diversity. These are some of my favourites!

  • Misyrion
  • Castle Rat
  • Punitive damage
  • Days spent
  • Soul glo

Mork Borg is pretty rules light and would let you run something easily. Combat is also pretty quick since things tend to die quickly, including the players.
