A TV Series can have an IMDB ID set: click the three dots on the series, click edit metadata, scroll down to External IDs, fill in as needed, then click save. (This alone doesn't update the metadata though)

To refresh metadata, click on the 3 dots again, select refresh metadata, and select replace all metadata. It should use the IMDB ID provided to fill in & replace the metadata.

As for subtitles: sorry, dunno anything on that. My subtitles come from DVD rips ๐Ÿ˜…. I've been too lazy to setup any subtitle downloader.

Sure does, if your motherboard plays nicely with it.

Personally, my acer laptop doesn't; if it goes into sleep mode, I have to hard-reset it to get it working again.

Crashed for me, seemingly as it was loading the top image as the second image loaded in fine. (LG G8 (not G8X, etc.), Android 11, Boost 1.0.4)

There's a concept called Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (seemingly coined, in that form, in a Microsoft antitrust lawsuit). Here's the Wikipedia page on it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

As I understand, people argue that Facebook/Meta, via Threads, will use this strategy in the long-term to either kill, or make effecitvely obsolete, the open technology behind Mastodon. If not that, then they could easily make the federation part of Threads buggy & unreliable, souring their users' opinions on the "fediverse".

They don't need to control anyone; they only need to host a majority of the userbase (by being the most popular federated site). And they're not starting from a user count of 1 or 10, unlike a lot of Mastodon sites.

Obviously, Mastodon & Lemmy, and the sites that run them, can keep chugging along just fine, but it's argued that if Meta makes their federation implementation sub-par (or otherwise sabotages it), it'll hurt the user-base growth of sites that use these projects (as people will see begin to see it as unreliable or what-not).

Is it as doom and gloom as people make it seem? Idk, I haven't had time to care.

Thank you for developing this app! Being able to use Boost again has felt like being right at home. Your UI/UX design is just amazing, and I've sorely missed it since Reddit's whole thing happened.

I've been trying out Rune Factory 4 for the past week or so. It's a decent farm sim, with some story & RPG mechanics mixed in. It kinda reminds me of a worse Stardew Valley (farming wise), but with more story, less lore, and more interesting combat. Not a bad game, imo โ€” great to pass some time.

~~I'll eventually finish Bravely Default... maybe.~~

You could technically get around that 300 game limit by having emuNANDs on your SD card โ€” but 300 games is an absurd amount anyway, lol.

I've got a 128GB in my 3DS and a 32GB in an Acekard2i that's shared between the 3DS & DSLite.

I don't need either of those cards to be as big as they are, lol. Those cards had just happened to be big enough to fit my roms & not otherwise used in anything, so they're what I used.

I imagine an avid user could still easily get by with just a 32-64GB 3DS SD, and a 4-8GB SD for a NDS flashcard.

Edit: Oh, and my GBA flashcart's SD size is still somehow absurd for the amount of roms it has on it, while still only being 4GB in size.

So, I'll start with my Biases: I've got a 3DS, DSLite, and only one GBA game lol.

I don't mind if this community shifts its focus more towards the DS family of handhelds, but I personally think we'll have a healthier amount of activity if the scope is kept as it currently is (3DS & all prior.)

I appreciate GB/C/A discussion, as I got into Nintendo handhelds with the DS, so Gameboy is kind of a blind-spot for me. I'm not strongly-held to my stance though; and I recognize your point with /c/gameboy@lemmy.world.

I like the megathread idea, as I like to see others' collections and see what games I might not have heard/known about otherwise; and I can see how such posts might otherwise clutter the community without a megathread.

Thanks for taking care of this community!

Yo momma so fat โ€” she managed to tip the Iceberg.

(Club Penguin โ€” though, it might've been obvious from my profile picture lol. It was just too easy.)
