Those poor multi-billion dollar…

Nope, I cannot even finish typing that sentence.

Fuck 'em.

I’ll agree that competition is not as robust.

However, it will be interesting to see how many “non-techy” people discover how easy it is to find content for free without ads.

It’s a very hard line to tow.

I think the death penalty should really only be allowed for mass murder / enslavement.

However, I doubt any billionaires are innocent of enslaving people, even if it’s “I paid them ($0.07 / day, which is slave wages)!” So, fuck the ultra rich. They didn’t get there by hard work; they got there by exploiting people and the system. Finances are not unlimited, so funneling that much money to yourself means you are directly depriving whole communities of livelihood and, almost always, actual life.

Well, Putin did increase his army by 1…

For my current use, (mostly screen sharing) I think it has to be connected.

Also, I think most smart tvs require regular updates or they “won’t work”.

It’s worth a shot though, I’ll have to look into it.

All I found in a cursory search were commercial displays. But I’ll keep looking.

I’ve got a 30"? VISIO that’s over 13 years old and doing just fine. I’d love to get another something of that quality; planned obsolescence sucks.

Unless you’re trying to achieve 4K on a projector, you definitely don’t need a $12k model.

Similarly, sound is dependent on the user. I’ve used many projectors that had decent speakers. Yes, speakers can be expensive, but not outlandish unless you’re going for an audiophile set, but then you’re going to drop money either way because most TVs don’t have movie theatre level speakers.

I’m just interested in having a big enough picture without paying a fortune or having unskippable ads while I play Horizon: Forbidden West.

An $80 projector works just fine for me.

I’m not trying to build a theatre or anything here.

Woah… I forgot about all that.

Waking up to the latest AAA that was started 36hrs ago at 75.8kb/s.

Of course it dropped to 0.9kb/s frequently, but it still downloaded.

This citizen kombats.

This is my thought:

Good enough laptops are about $200, and Linux is free.

Then there are fairly good projectors for like $80 or less that have hdmi, av, rgb, etc. with an led bulb.

So, grand total about $300 for a massive screen and zero ads.

So, any recs. on good dumb tvs?

I’m upgrading to a projector soon, but also would love a few screens with actual buttons on the device incase of the inevitable remote loss.

Hey, thanks for letting me know I need to block you and your community.

K, thx, bi!

I’m just expecting ads with any “start” button press.

Press start ADS!

Change equipment by pressing start to access the menu. ADS!

Press start to conti ADS!!!

Son, are you crying?

This better not be another attempt to reach me about my car’s extended warranty, godamnit!

So, please read this as serious and no ulterior-motivation.

I’m hoping to release a game in a few years, and naturally I would like to sell it.

I am also supportive of this community and understand somewhat about the release date underground release.

I’d rather either get the revenue from my work directly, or give it away in exchange for donations, trade, or even nothing at all.

All this especially in light of how often independent creators get their shit stolen by megacorps.

Is there something I should be keeping an eye out for, or preparing for so everything goes smoothly at least with regards to this community?

That’s a different Q.

This Q really looks nearly identical to a 2. So, for many of us in 3rd grade, we wrote about the 2ueen who 2uestioned why ducks say 2uack. It was 2uite difficult.

Yaaaa!

Whatculture gaming is decent enough.

Some hosts/writers are more genuine than others.

Jules is GOAT.

I don’t watch it all the time, but it’s usually up-to-date gaming news.
