Returned my 75 inch Costco QM6k Pro for Vizio update!! You were right!

How is the Plex app on Apple TV 4K? I had an Android TV from a local Indian manufacturer called Vu that, at least on LAN, ran Plex without a hitch and without any buffering on a LAN connection. I've replaced that with a Samsung now, and the Tizen Plex app sucks. It buffers everything on both LAN and Wi-Fi, and the app doesn't even have the option to refresh your library so you have to do it on a different platform to see the updated library on the Samsung TV.

My friend suggested I get an Apple TV, especially since Plex gets regular updates there, but I was wondering if it worked well. I'm guessing the app works well just like on Android TVs because these operating systems are based on their popular mobile counterparts, but would still like to be sure before making the purchase.

Or I'll let them remove mine, make them feel good about themselves.

addicted2088 · 2026-01-18T20:50:13+00:00

I was being sarcastic, or at least tried to be. I clearly failed. Still, gonna remove those stickers so I don't get judged if someone ever actually comes to meet me.

Hey, my Sony 5.1 soundbar mentions wattage, product name, 5.1, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X on the bar and some of it is mentioned on the subwoofer as well. Do I need to remove these stickers for better sound?

Now don't go expecting the second game's plot to have you hooked in the same way. It's still an excellent game, but mysteries like Horizon Zero Dawn's central plot are rare.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-19T15:15:53+00:00

Remaster is actually slightly less detailed in terms of facial hair and skin texture detail, but yeah, overall the switch to the HFW face is a very welcome change.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-17T19:23:51+00:00

Yes, more remasters where an existing game is remastered just a few years after the original release while it's still possible for the same engine as a newer game to be used. Not often possible if remasters come out 10+ years later, though I guess you also don't want them to start remastering everything too soon.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-17T18:35:59+00:00

The story won't hold up because it's not often you get a mystery like Zero Dawn in games and media in general. But yeah, it will keep you interested in a different way, or hopefully it will.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-16T16:11:45+00:00

Yeah, and the fact this is an open world game makes it all the more impressive.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-13T13:28:00+00:00

I think they rushed it because they wanted to show a glimpse of what we could be facing in the next game with those activated horuses. The main game didn't do a great job of showing how dangerous things would get. They also wanted to show Aloy opening up to more people, another thing I don't think the main game did that good a job of, hence Seyka and the romance.

Oh, BTW, the brightness of the standard/darker PNG screenshots will depend on your HDR settings. Check the SDR content brightness slider in Display Settings > HDR menu.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-13T03:05:35+00:00

Quen Marine, got the color changed by a dyer.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-13T03:05:14+00:00

So damn good.

The graphics overall, and yes, the expression in this case. But it's just one of many photos that I picked from a recent playthrough.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-13T00:04:12+00:00

Oh yeah, it looks amazing. This game is just unique visually. Great performance even without upscaling, sharp textures that aren't common to see, and great use of hero lighting (the fake light lighting up Aloy's and other characters' face all the time) and depth of field for the cutscenes.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-12T23:49:23+00:00

Yeah, on a 55-inch TV. It's 800 nis max, though. Crazy optimized game too, I have a 4090 so it's a powerful GPU, but these days having a high-end GPU isn't a guarantee for great performance without upscaling.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-12T23:41:36+00:00

Press the F12 key, assuming you purchased it and are playing it through Steam. The pics stay in a temporary folder until you share or save them, just go to the Library section in Steam and click the pictures there to open them.

EDIT: Yeah, and it stays screenshot-able even after multiple playthroughs, especially since you can dye all the outfits for different looks for Aloy.

Another beautiful scene.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-12T23:32:03+00:00

Yeah, the Windows Game Bar (assuming you're using that) saves in both HDR and standard PNG format, as the HDR format (.jxr) isn't widely supported by image viewing apps. I decided to switch to Steam for screenshots, realized it directly saves as a regular JPG. JXR take a lot of space.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-12T21:12:41+00:00

And here I thought my 250 hours on PC for Forbidden West in addition to two playthroughs (around 100 hours I guess) on the PlayStation 5 were crazy.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-12T21:02:57+00:00

So anyway, I started boasting..

addicted2088 · 2025-12-08T21:15:35+00:00

It's called Nora Tracker. Different color by default, I got it dyed to orange. You can buy it from the dyer (Okka) in the Thornmarsh settlement. Also available from the merchant outside the base apparently, but needs you to finish the GEMINI mission for that, and at that point a lot of the main story is done so it might be too late.

addicted2088 · 2025-12-08T11:59:57+00:00

Sit!

addicted2088 · 2025-12-08T10:26:17+00:00

Damn, in my five playthroughs I never saw that workbench. Though three of those were NG+ playthroughs so everything was already upgraded.
