From what I gather, making your own little "media PC" connected to a "dumb TV" or never-connected "smart PC" can give you a similar if not better experience!

KDE has a big TV style desktop environment they've made for TVs now, and you can use KDE connect to use any phone as a remote control.

Completely open source! Wee!

This is the way. I've only used it for backed up movies so far but Jellyfin is SNAPPY.

Super helpful thank you! That's pretty neat.

And then that totally banger BassHunter song cemented DOTA into history forever 🎧

Please tell me this perfectly plausible stupidest-thing-ever isn't a thing.

This is how I felt about those monitors with crosshair overlays built in. Silly at best, or in games that purposely don't put a crosshair unless you're aiming or something, scummy at worst...

Just like that?

Are you the one that calls the surrender vote at the 15:00 mark? :|

C'mon, don't let em have their way with you and the rest of the playerbase like that. This move is a gross breach of trust on their part.

I mean...that stupid university "anti cheat" rootkit browser called "lockdown" can detect if it's in a virtual environment and say "this won't run. Plz put me on bare metal so I can read all your secrets."

I imagine this program wouldn't find that hard to do either sadly.

And even then, perhaps illnesses aside even, there's so many dark patterns built into these mass-appeal games it can grab anybody potentially. They'll A/B test every little thing to see what holds a second's more attention.

Everything is designed so hard to push players' brains into a simple loop:

While(Alive == True): One_More_Match() Insert_Money()

Ok now that you point it out that's gotta be intentional lol.

Behold, the wonders of the modern world! ...which we must constantly fight and remain suspicious of as they attempt to manipulate or screw us at every turn.

Or it's just straight up hostile UI. They started camouflaging ads to blend in really well with random search results now! Infuriating.

Hahaha good edit. Could you imagine?!

(Checks for myself)

...Oh...

It's sensible that maintaining a current up to date dictionary is worthy of compensation, but I think the tragedy is that such endeavors as "maintaining current information on human language" aren't just publicly funded, so here they are panhandling for "Dictionary plus" lol.
