Yeah, but you really don’t have to engage with every oblivion gate you see. There’s a lot of really great quest lines to engage with, but the main story is one of the least interesting the game has to offer.

I’ve personally been using a raspberry pi with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I just run jellyfin in Firefox and navigate with the mouse - the keyboard rarely ever being necessary. I was able to increase the icon size so it’s acceptable on a tv and bookmark any streaming websites I use. It’s certainly not as clean as using something like an apple tv, but it’s serviceable and I don’t have to fiddle with plugins like when I tried Kodi. Honestly though, apple tv probably fulfills what you’re looking for like others have said.

Are you explicitly looking for competitive multiplayer games? Single player shooters like Prey, or the BioShock games, might be able to fulfill what you’re looking for. I like Helldivers 2, as well. It’s not slow per se, but your fighting AI and not people so insane reflexes are far from important. It’s coop but very worth your time.

I’m playing through Dark Souls 2, and Horizon Zero Dawn. I’m really surprised how well horizon runs, although I’m capping the fps at 30 for a more stable experience. Balatro has also been a big one

Honestly, I mostly just play a lot of old games that still support consoles, cheat codes, or mods.

Which is really less because of the consoles themselves and more because of the priorities of AAA game studios

Perhaps, we should be more concerned with maintaining and keeping relevant current hardware, over constant production of more powerful hardware just for the sake of doing it. We’ve hit a point of diminishing returns in terms of the value we’re actually being given by each new generation. Even the PS4 and Xbox One were able to produce gorgeous graphics.

A lot is going to vary depending on the exact game you play, strategies and game mechanics can be super different. The best way is to find a character that you really like and focus on having a good time. It’s a genre built off of learning from failure, so you’ve got to try your moves in different situations and see what works. You can practice moves against bots to find what situations they work well in, and plenty of people post combos you can learn online. Just gotta lose a lot.

Really unfortunate that Halo Infinite is getting kernel level anti-cheat.
