Blame alphabet, meta, and all of their contemporaries for making the Internet shitty and unusable. SEO strategies are one of the worst things to ever happen to the Internet.

You’re just being racist and try to make it sound like a tech issue. No amount of appealing to a rose-tinted memory of what the Internet used to be is going to obfuscate that.

Wow, you’re even more racist than I realized

Thats…an opinion I don’t want you to elaborate on.

Fun fact: he is Connor in succession (oldest brother). I couldn’t believe I didn’t realize it until like the last episode.

Most people literally have no idea what you just wrote. I’m not saying jellyfish isn’t the superior option, I’m saying it’s less accessible.

Jellyfin is such a PITA to set up for those that aren't more technically inclined.

This is terrible advice when you’re encouraging people to open up their network to the broader public without full understanding of what they’re doing.

SMH my head where have all the real fans gone?

Sure seems politically skewed lol

This makes as much sense as telling somebody to delete all of the contents on their failing hard drive before transferring them to a new one

Sounds good!

I’m not 100% but I am close. Off gdrive, off gcal, off chrome, almost entirely off gmail. I’ll check out the maps!

This is basically an argument for itemizing any and all things that can be articulated tbh. I don't pay a "kitchen" fee or an "electrical" fee or a "dishwasher" fee when I go to a restaurant. They calculate what things cost on the whole then price accordingly. That's how 95% of non-single-item transactions occur.

I'm not even necessarily against the concept of paying for the service on consoles (I kind of go back and forth on it personally) but this argument simply doesn't hold water.

That was probably just your connection

very difficult to jailbreak

Getting an Xbox into developer mode, booting retro arch, really whatever you want then doing literally whatever you want with it has never been easier. The 360 was far more difficult and continues to be difficult to hack and mod in meaningful ways. The series consoles you can crack open in like 30 minutes with an article and a YouTube video.

The problem is that there aren’t plenty. Every year number of online games that allow you to host your own server decreases.

I still think they're 10 years behind but dude it was unplayable prior.

BolexForSoup,
@BolexForSoup@kbin.social avatar

It was awful prior. The netcode was terrible, MP was a joke on virtually every game.

@BolexForSoup@kbin.social avatar

but i'm fairly certain still that no P2P or just outright free online games exist on consoles

Fortnite, Rocket League, Apex Legends, COD Warzone, Halo: Infinite. Plenty more those are just top of my head.

does it have its own bespoke gaming platform?

Sure steam doesn’t fit that definition exactly but I mean…it kind of serves the same purpose.

Loss leaders to get you to do mtx. I don't even disagree with your larger point but that's not a good rebuttal.

I enjoy PC gaming as much as anyone but the simple fact is you can't do what a Series S does for $250 with a $250 PC. Plus with gamepass the math doesn't even need a napkin. It's simply the best deal in gaming right now, whether you're paying for online play or not.

I don’t think folks remember how truly shitty Nintendo‘s online service was when it was free. The fact is these companies will not put meaningful resources into them unless they are directly generating revenue. I hate it, but that’s reality.

I wish more games would let us run the servers ourselves these days. Too many of them won’t even let you if you want to.
