  Agree 100%. From the trailer, at least, it looks like there’s a separate “Free Roam” mode, and it will otherwise be normal Mario Kart. Also looks like they’ll maybe have races that will span multiple tracks, which I can see being cool.

  Also, even disregarding the inflation argument, video gaming is still one of the cheapest per hour hobbies.

  I don’t think there was a single party I attended in high school where Rock Band or Guitar Hero wasn’t present. Such a great party game for players and spectators alike. The younger generations are really missing out.

  Shadow of the Colossus was barely even a game, it was art. I don’t think I even played it for more than 20 hours total but just a simple masterpiece.

  One thing Jellyfin is way better at is offline viewing. I have frequent internet outages at my house and I’ve run into issues multiple times where Plex wouldn’t stream my own local media because it couldn’t connect to the internet. For this, Jellyfin has always just worked.

  Easiest way to tell is to transcode something and see if your CPU spikes. If it’s offloaded to the GPU it shouldn’t.

  Also make sure you have it configured correctly. On your Admin Dashboard under Playback > Transcoding, check that Intel QuickSync (QSV) is selected.

  I have an N100 (Intel 12th gen) so I think your settings should be similar. For mine I have pretty much everything checked except for VP8, the two HEVC RExt options, and “Allow encoding in AV1 format”

  This seems like something that should be kept local. What’s the point of all these NPUs otherwise

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to have similar issues, was due to my PC not being able to handle the transcoding. Enabling hardware acceleration fixed it for me.
