  • You are saying steam link for VR correct? Because Steam Link itself works fine.

    The only thing I have to dual boot for is VR at this point. And I havent even done that in maybe 2 years. But it really is the final thing for me.

    All the other games I care to play work fine. The last two Resident Evil’s were flawless. Almost everything is pretty much click and play these days.

    I remote to other computers and remote into my own, so I take it you are using Parsec for something specific? I never used it before.



  • Thank goodness. I hate most current UI.

    It’s funny that one thing I really liked about it was the floating windows and toolbar. Then everyone complained and they brought it all together. But now people I work with using software that we pay nearly a million dollars to license are getting all excited becuase they introduced… floating windows.


  • Pyrosis did a great job answering a lot of your questions, I will focus again on why I cannot recommend plex:

    Opt-In is not acceptable. You need to opt-out of: data sharing, data sharing with partners (unless you are in the UK or specific States), sharing playback data, stopping discovery together and activity feed, and turning off all of their live tv and streaming services.

    Sharing streaming habits with others is not something that ever should have been opt-out. They keep pushing the line.

    By the way, several of the “features” you mention are not included by default. Hardware decoding, downloads, DVR, etc.

    I run both concurrently. I have a plex pass from way back when, maybe a decade or more.

    What plex is now is not what it once was. Trying to socialize viewing habits, opting in by default to analysis, ads, reviews, and sharing that info has gone too far. Plex also works on these features such as discovery which benefits them, instead of open bugs.

    That us why I can’t recommend it.

    As for a feature comparison. Jellyfin is snappier, and faster. Plex is more detailed in their interface, and has better Metadata. Jellyfin sometimes doesn’t restart where I left off. Jellyfin is much, much better on mobile devices, but has less clients for tv’s. Jellyfin doesn’t rely on any server but my own, where plex wants to authenticate with thier own servers and ask for accounts (and money) to have full functionality. Jellyfin always downloads to a client. Plex…might. Plex has better handling of multiple streams in one file.

    Guns don’t block a good chunk of the screen either.

    But YOU do! That is why I do not like third person, I do not want to see me. All immersion is lost! \

    But I started up my game, moused out to third person, and the gun sight didnt change at all. It is the same cross hairs based on gun accuracy either way.

    That was two New Vegas and one VR title. Fallout 4 aiming doesn’t seem bad at all. You can manage with a sniper rifle as good as any other game. There is a slight chance that one of the mods I applied might have improved it, I havent looked through them, but it seems to me that FO4 was not nearly as bad as 3 and NV by default.

    I think that is a bit overboard. I modded the hell out of F04 and it still is a brain dead, choices mean nothing, game. It is kind of interesting wandering around and fighting things, but nothing really ever matters and the story progresses the same.

    The second more important thing for this game besides modding, is playing in survival. Anything else is like whats the point.
