  • Playstation/Xbox.

    I love multiplayer shooters, obviously hate cheaters. If I have to install a rootkit on my primary machine to play and still come across cheaters, I may as well just get a console with heavily discounted hardware cost and peace of mind that the only thing people can really abuse are xim/cronuses. Also it feels nice that everyone in the match will be on a level playing field in terms of hardware specs and I’m never tempted to buy a new graphics card, CPU or cooling just to eek out a few extra fps.

    Crossplay off all the way.







  • Wouldn’t go for a full ARM64 system (yet anyway). Too many software incompatibilities. You can pick up the lenovo m-series tiny machines used for dirt cheap and have full x86 compatibility and way faster specs + expandable storage/ram for (m93p tiny, m700, m720 etc). They’re a little bigger than a rpi and use a bit more power but it will save a ton of headaches.

    Making the switch to any linux distro is a big jump already, you don’t want to create unnecessary problems.








  • Not sure about your setup but just thought you should remember that the PS2 was primarily designed to be used with CRT TVs and they were blurry as hell. Game designers of that era expected it and even designed their in-game-assets around that e.g. jagged edges in low poly art got blurred into smooth curves.

    PC emulators are even adding CRT filters to make games look more true to the intended vision.

    The fact it can output a 120Hz signal doesn’t mean the processor is making every frame. Many AAA games will be performing at well under 120fps especially in scenes with lots of action.

    It’s not limited to 30fps like the other poster suggested though, I think most devs try to maintain at least 60fps.



  • In my experience, fenders/mud guards can be a PITA. After a little while they start to rattle, move around and rub against your wheels, add weight, make it more annoying to lock your bike, etc

    I’ve been using “Ass savers” for a few years which are little plastic flaps that you wedge under your seat and they’re great for light rain. I’d strongly consider not adding the full fender setup unless you’re really sure you’re going to be regularly cycling in heavy rain.

    Things I would make sure to add:

    • front and rear lights
    • drink holder
    • phone holder
