Try the library, might save you a buck if they have digital media.

In my experience my local library doesn’t carry 4k

I run a Plex server for my immediate family. I definitely use it the least.

The fun is in building and curation for us, I suppose.

My child-self would have died from pure excitement at the mere prospect of getting their hands on a RPi filled with emulators/games. Now I’m just an old fart and cant appreciate shit anymore.

My child self would have a broken brain over what I can do with emulation on the Steam Deck on the go

That’s why my projects tend to be things that end up being more like art pieces or something I will actually use.

I’m definitely aware I don’t have enough time for classic video games.

there’s something satisfying in perfectly tweaking a emulator play zelda but I never get past clock town in my testing.

I mean, I know the feeling, but I’m doing Switch emulation for games I haven’t actually played a thousand times already.

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were a blast on PC.

I played the hell out of the originals enough, the nostalgia replays have worn off.

I tried playing through TotK on original hardware, After a week or so when the emulation was better I switched to PC and restarted. I found it so much better, the constant frame rate drops on original hardware drove me crazy.

I even went to the trouble of putting mine in a mini snes style case with functional power and reset buttons. Still have it ready to go…in the garage 😅
