Ha ha ha, duty

Very spacious, from what I’ve heard

Still not the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK tho

This is the type of pedantry that annoys me and yet I admire. Bravo, good fellow, I salute you

HP

Good printer

That’s an oxymoron

Well I’m a Luddite so I’m probably exposing myself to miners or something

Well now I’ll like Jellyfin even harder

fuck Emby with a branding iron

I installed Plex before learning I’d have to pay for any of the functionality I was looking for. Installed Jellyfin and used the Plex folders lol

I’ve got a Samsung TV and am nearly a complete Luddite (in the colloquial sense).

I managed to install the Jellyfin app on my TV just by following the step by step instructions on a website

Jellyfin ftw

Hmmm, i use a Synology NAS with Jellyfin installed and my family can use their Roku TVs without issue. I didn’t realize Synology made a difference there

Top comment, really. Comprehensive and accurate

+1 for Jellyfin, all the features of Plex (that matter to me), none of the subscription costs.

I installed Jellyfin on my parent’s and sibling’s TVs and use direct play. I don’t get anything above 1080, lowest common denominator and all that. I set up kid’s shows and movies in separate folders and set up an account for my nieces and nephews, so my siblings can let them watch shows unmonitored without worrying what they’ll find. (I don’t trust the show ratings to work correctly) Meanwhile we can watch stuff like The Bear without the kids learning all of the Swears

Also i picked up a 16TB hdd for $250 a couple years ago so there’s that

Didn’t this happen with the last MSFS? I seem to remember Steam extending the refund period for that game. But I could’ve dreamed that

Excuse me, but it’s pronounced GIF

So the throttle control is mapped correctly, and i didn’t have any other throttle related controls mapped to the joystick.

Granted it’s a cheap Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, but it works fine in Squadrons. When I check the mapping in the controller configuration it shows a nice gradual 0-100% throttle increase with no sudden changes as the throttle is increased. In-game the throttle jumps all over the place and arbitrarily lands on (usually) 0 or 100% throttle, seemingly at random.

In the words of Danny Glover

So i decided, since work finished early today, to see if an update fixes the controller.

First i get an Xbox games login requirement using my email, so i do that and get an error, and have to force the program closed via steam.

I try again and am greeted with the (expected) required update message

I’m now waiting for the fifteen GB update to download.

I’ll report back to let you know if my joystick works after this

E: yeah that took 20 minutes to download and another ten to install. Joystick throttle still doesn’t function correctly in flight, even though it maps correctly

I’ll check out Xplane. As i commented elsewhere, i just want to be able to sit down and fly for a bit. MSFS is amazing when it works, and is vexing the rest of the time

Dude I’m happy for you. I don’t play often, and when i do there’s always some giant update to slog through. As is typical for Microsoft, the updates are forced and at the most inconvenient time. My free time is rare and precious.

The last time i tried to play my joystick was borked in MSFS, but worked fine in Squadrons. I haven’t tried to play since

Yes the updates have a point, but the forced nature and size of them isn’t convenient and feels arbitrary. Likely others feel the same way I do

What I want is a game I can sit down and play on the rare occasions where I have a couple free hours. MSFS isn’t that game. I wish it was, because when i can play it, it’s amazing
