  What’s wrong with whacking it to sports illustrated? Who is being harmed?

  You always finish an entire TV series?

  Do you just remember where you are in every show (or movie that you only partway watched)? That’s the biggest appeal of jellyfin/plex to me, so I can go in and continue from where I left off without keeping track.

  If it’s a subcategory of console then it is a console. Otherwise it’s like saying a square is not a rectangle because it is a square, or a cat is not a mammal because it is a cat.

  That’s why I say you are searching for a term for things like the Xbox and Playstation - because it would be useful to have a term for that. Simply “console” is not a good fit imo, but you may disagree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the point of Xbox?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, that does clarify a lot. You’re wanting a term to refer to the Xbox and Playstation class devices since they’re in this closely competing realm, but people already have a preconceived notion of what a “console” is (I would consider handheld to be consoles, for example).

  It does seem like it would be useful to have a term for those.

  The person I was responding to was citing costs accrued for screen and battery as a reasoning for why steam deck is not a console, so I was giving an example (wii u) that contradicts that reasoning.

  I don’t actually care if you consider the steam deck or wii u or anything is a console or not. My point was that I don’t see a concrete definition anywhere in this thread and that maybe a more nuanced view would be appropriate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the point of Xbox?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reading through the above comments it seems like goalposts keep moving on what counts as a console. Does the wii u not count as a console because the controller had a screen and the price to performance is poor?

  I’m not sure any of you have a concrete definition for a console, and maybe there isn’t one. It might be more of a spectrum with open and configurable devices on one end and the more focused devices with walled garden software on the other.

  Then you can day that ps5 is more like a console than steam deck is, and steam deck is more like a console than a pc.

  Omg I was just complaining about this in another thread. I wish it hadn’t taken them so long, but I’m stoked it’s happening!

  I really wanted to love rain world since it seemed right up my alley. I bounced off it not because of the difficulty, but I think because the character’s movement feels bad. You’re slow, can’t jump high, a lot of maneuvering is fiddly.

  Maybe I’ll try it again at some point though, because the world they made is brilliant and has interesting emergent behaviors.
