No I replied on an app. I think there’s a bug which doubles post reply’s.

Steam Remoteplay together and RetroArch are the only other option which I found usable and works with Duckstation (swanstation) and PCSX2. I remember on Windows there was a way to high jack the executable to play more than what steams offers and it worked, but that was back in 2022.

Otherwise yeah parsec is probably the only other option.

Ah found my video where I documented it back in 2022: https://youtu.be/P3J23OlNMXE

USB -> Anything requires adapters/drivers/dedicated hardware. Composite is a dead format so you’ll be hard pressed to find one, let alone find one which works. VGA is a least a video standard supported by almost all video chips (why I recommended it).

The only PC made in this century which supports composite natively, is the Raspberry Pi.

Good for you?

I don’t care for the medium, I just want to watch my shows. In Canada we get basically the same shows as the US, but many are not available for streaming. So I want to watch Danny Phantom for example, I can’t. It’s not on any channel not streaming services.

And the same goes for dozens of other shows ranging from obscure like Martin Mystery to the ultra popular like The Fairly Odd Parents.

Heck even Disney doesn’t have everything.

DVD does and it cost less than most of these services.

Those have been the more reliable components on mine 🥲

That was my thought too. But when you can't stop another inertia the best you can do is make sure they do it as safely as possible.

Why not both?

The markets are unpredictable. I view my physical collection as the archive. Yes they are in boxes but they are the proof of ownership for my rom library.

If you don’t care and want to sail the high seas for your games, then sell them when you want. Otherwise I’d make nice displays for them and have them as art.

Yet, no. I've played most of them. AC1 and 2 are so far my fav. Black Flag is in it's own category. Skipped Brotherhood and Revelations. I tried AC3 but gave up on it. Didn't play Rouge, Chronicles or Valhalla. Unity sucks. Syndicate is OK, Origins is good so far, Odyssey is fine, but a slog.

I like collecting games for 2 reasons

1. I like the games. Just having a physical copy is nice to have for the box and game art alone.

2. so that I own a licensed and can backup the game before it dies. Since even if the game dies I still legally have a playable copy of the game.

I’ve been using smart watches since the Pebble Time Steel. The reason I use a smart watch is to get off my phone more.

I use it to screen important notifications, read messages, and to tell the time.

It’s a niche use case but I find it helpful especially at work to see what’s happening without pulling it out.

That said my poor pebble isn’t used much these days, and I’ve moved to Garmin. These have always on reflective displays like e-paper that sips batteries. Plus I’ve been using my garmin to track my exercise which is nice.

Definitely cant recommend the more battery sensitive Apple Watch or the Samsung or google equivalent. But if it lasts 1-2 weeks on a single charge with the screen always showing the time, it’s better than a contemporary watch.

Yeah, we'll see. I presume it'll be fine... Or cool enough not to melt the PLA
