Nah. My older 1080p stuff remains, but I just do 4k only now. Media server is powerful enough to transcode to 1080 on the fly for any device that can’t handle 4k, or for slower network conditions.

I use Linux Mint, mostly because I’m familiar with it. If I was to redo it, I would likely just run Debian.

Vampire Survivors is basically mandatory at this point.

I like SearXNG

It works, but deck needs to be on. I just pulled a Grim Dawn install from my deck to my desktop PC on Tuesday.

Dunno if it’s been delisted since, but I installed it on all my Rokus and Roku TVs a few weeks back without issue.

I’ve been playing Sea of Stars on it lately, a great modern take on the classic JRPG format which works great on the deck.

NoMachine has Android and Windows clients.

I use NoMachine between windows and Linux and I’m happy with it. According to their site they support MacOS.

I also try and ignore energy costs and prevent ewaste: my home server is my three builds back gaming PC with a lower power GPU shoved into it. Whenever I build a new main gaming PC my old one becomes my wife’s gaming PC, and her old PC is rebuilt into the home server.

Assuming you have a PC, come join us on the Ephinea PSOBB server: https://ephinea.pioneer2.net/

Phantasy Star Online (PSO). I have thousands of hours in that game across Dreamcast, GameCube and PC over the decades and I’m still not tired of it. It absolutely nailed the loot system and you’re always looking to get another rare box drop. BlueBurst on PC still has multiple active and populated servers, but I feel like it doesn’t get much discussion in gaming communities in general despite being one of the pioneers of online gaming on consoles.

Hell yeah it does. I just replayed it on my Steam Deck the other day after previously playing it on PS2 and PSP. My favorite rhythm game by far.
