Let me know how JellyFin works out for you. I've been looking for a similar solution and would love to hear about it.

Will do! I temporarily set up Kodi on my PC and so far, my rips are playing wonderfully. Even the 4K rips. Which is what I was wondering since it's an old Dell optiplex from 2011/2012. It's not exactly a high-end PC.

Next up, see if I can stream to my Roku's with Jellyfin.

That's just insane.  Remember when Crypto and Graphics card increases were a thing? lol

Remember? I'm trying to forget, lol. These tech bro CEOs won't let me.

I was saving up for a graphics card and I think I might pull the trigger on a 9060XT 16GB card because the prices are about to jump there again, too, due to this RAM price hike. Sad state of affairs for the PC gaming community.

@CreepinDeth That is crazy. Holy crap... even my laptop memory is triple the price.  I bought the Strix Scar Asus ROG and put in 64GB of memory.   That was $220 in September 2025.   Now it's showing as $599.

That's just insane.  Remember when Crypto and Graphics card increases were a thing? lol

Here's the crypto crash topic:

Thankfully, I am not in the market for building a computer.  Also thankfully... I have my new laptop...

Loved it despite the cheesy teenie drama.

I'm thrilled they're still expanding upon the Karate Kid universe (odd typing that out loud, guess anything can be made into a universe) - Karate Kid Legends was a fun watch as well.

Okay I went cyber. I pulled the trigger on a Hyperkin RetroN GX. The price was $68.69, going price $99. It is Hyperkin's new clone console that is supposed to be for Turbo Grafx 16 and PC Engine HuCards. You know me, a review will be forthcoming.

Advance Wars did get a lot of play but my kids didn't get into it so as far as playtime wise something Mario won out.

it's impossible if you play it like a normal tactics game. Somehow they've managed to incorporate run and gun into tactics, a mix I didn't ask for and haven't had much success with.
