No need to put homelab in quotes, it’s whatever is your lab. We all have different setups that grow and shrink as we learn.
Let me show you a smaller option than a full rack amp. I used this exact setup before except using an AirPort Express instead of the pi.
I would do the Pi (your plan) -> this -> bookshelf speakers like these.
Does everything have to be all in one, or are you open to exploring passive speakers and a receiver?
Since this is in Homelab, I’m assuming you have access to a 19” rack. You could rack mount any amplifier (I like crown amps personally) and then feed either a Bluetooth or Raspberry Pi using a line/headphone amp. That also gives you the ability to continuing adding amps to feed more speakers around the house. That’s my homelab answer.
Home theater answer would be to look at a home theater receiver.
What I wish it had was something similar to Roon which would be a Spotify integration. If I search for something and I don’t have it in my personal library, let me just stream it from my streaming service subscription.
I’ve had a whole marriage that lasted shorter than since I’ve backed this game.
I deal with a lot of kids fresh out of college. The surprising part is how many don’t know what Windows File Explorer even is, much less file manipulation. Everything is saved to the desktop.
We just turn them sideways on a shelf at work. We use a lot of micro form factor and they look slick in a row on a 1u shelf. We fit 3 or 4 (can’t remember) wide across 6 shelves.
I’m having the exact same experience on the SteamDeck. Currently level 20 with about 50 hours in.
There are so many questlines and each are so damn good. Glad your having a good time!
How has your experience been so far with the cloud gaming? Having fun?
Bruh, all of this sounds creepy as shit.
I completely feel you. That's the art of it, to indulge the imagination. Glad you are enjoying the game
So say the technology was theoretically possible, what is your take/how do you feel about neuroamps?
At the same, does “painting our selfs into a corner” loose having true ending to stories?
Constraints and limitations drive creativity, but you have accept a final product at some point and move to another universe/story.
