A critter on the internet

I post non-lewd kink, but make best efforts to tag it 18+. This might not always happen, however (especially if it's only adjacent to it.) Please only follow if you are 18+.

Additionally, please put something in your profile before following me. I probably won’t block over it or anything, but I get a little anxious when I’m followed by an empty account.

…okay, that’s hilarious.

so i’ve been getting frustrated with a $120 roku streambar that i’ve had - it’s kinda sluggish. it plays videos well enough, but the UI performance is bad.

in situations like this, i tend to go to extremes and think “if i get a really high powered device, i’ll never have this problem ever again.” so i was looking at the nvidia shield pro at first (and attempting to justify paying $200 for a 4 year old streaming box.)

however, after seeing a few comments online, i then did some research and realized i don’t really have to go that hard to get better performance than what i have. one trip to the store and a bit of setup later, i think the streambar is being outperformed by a tiny $20 box from walmart.
