I experimented a bunch with the Steam Link, today. Even with everything hard wired I have not been able to get a picture quality superior to what I get with the XB1/PS4; it can get pretty damn close, though.
So, if you have a decent PC that's not in your living room and don't want to buy a new console, that's a might be a decent way to spend $50.
@Quid did you ever get yours to play nice with your controller?
So, my brother and I have this holiday arrangement where I just buy him what he wants, and he just buys me what I wants. No gift-wrapping, no waiting until Christmas, just straight-up equivalent exchange. He's my only sibling, so this makes gift-giving really easy (We've had this arrangement since High School, so a couple of decades).
This year, I requested (and am receiving) a Logitech G910 Orion keyboard (which my brother got at 50% off! Go Capitalism!), a new SSD for my PC, and a bone conducting headset (mostly for chat, as I hear they are great for voice, but lousy for music).
He requested a... knife sharpening kit and some stones. This WOULD worry me, except that it's a reprise of a prior gift back in 2012. I'm like "Wait. Do sharpening stones have an expiration date?" I mean, I guess eventually they would wear down and such, but still... I have a plain non-fancy knife sharpening stone at my house, and it barely looks used.
Maybe he lost it, and needs a new one. I don't know.
Cutting through human bone dulls knives rather quickly.

Wired Xbone controller yes but last I tried the wireless adapter didn't work with it.

You should get your brother a big clever.
Clevers split bone rather than cutting, so they don't need to really be kept very sharp.
My city is featured in a documentary on heroin addiction produced by the VA attorney general. Yay?
Lookit this Hollywood bigshot
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
It has some good stuff in the beginning and was some version of "watchable" for most seasons (mainly because of guest actors in some cases) but the last season was amazingly bad. Like, the quintessential example of fucking up the landing. It didn't just fall on it's ass, it shattered both femurs and somehow punched through the mat and the concrete below to end up in a sewer, head down.

Showtime is just delusional.
Season 1-4 are some awesome goddamn television though.

I remember watching the first season and thinking it was really good

Yup. I can see arguments all the way up to 7 being watchable TV with earlier season actually being good. Season 8 can only really be enjoyed by MST3K-ing it up and even then the finale is more WTF than anything.
Tomanta posted this after the Series Finale aired and it captures it perfectly. It has massive spoilers but really, you shouldn't care.
I had a similar idea, only it goes "Which of these does NOT happen in the final episode?"
a) Dexter abandons his son, leaving him in the care of his fugitive murderer girlfriend in Argentina
b) Dexter goes on the run after Miami Metro Homicide discovers he is the Bay Harbor Butcher
c) Dexter fakes his death by driving his boat into a hurricane
d) Dexter becomes a lumberjack
e) Dexter murders someone in a police station, on camera, and is not even arrested.
f) Dexter steals Debra's body from the hospital by just walking out with it and dumps it into the ocean.
I'm thinking it is impossible to pass without seeing the episode.
I constantly worry he's going to die before finishing this damn series. Or I will. The series is over a quarter century old at this point.
It doesn't really seem like something he wants to work on anymore
Like the early chapters are kinda rough
But after that he really went on a stretch where almost every arc was just incredible
The Serpico and Farnese flashback story might just be my favorite single comic ever
The recent chapters have no pathos though. It feels like it's turning more into just an adventure story or something.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

I walk up to security at the very small Lexington airport. The only people there besides security are a couple who are just making it to the end of the completely unnecessary maze of fabric-connected posts. They kiss, then hug, and the dude leaves. The security lady smiles and says "aww, that's sweet" as she checks the girl's ID. They make pleasant small talk, then the lady hands the girl her boarding pass and ID and says "Well, only a few weeks until Christmas!"
I walk up with my ID and boarding pass in hand and greet her with a pleasant "Good afternoon!" She frowns and asks for my ID and boarding pass, which I am already holding out to her. No conversation is made as she closely examines my ID and compares the picture to my face. As she hands my documents back, she reminds me to throw away the empty bottle of water I'm holding in my other hand. A cheery "Thanks, have a nice day" is ignored entirely.

Very happy it's so close to Union.
Just gonna roll over to the train platform.
I'm sure we'll still give each other little heartfelt things but definitely not big ticket items. Maybe I'll get her like a $40 sephora giftcard too.
Sucker, it's even closer to the chinatown one
We do

It requires port forwards. All the forwards are pointing to the public IP address AND are inclusive of over eight thousand ports.
Methinks he set it up incorrectly.
Whenever I've done the 'no gift' thing, they always tell me they're disappointed I didn't spend $50-100 on them.
Bitch, what does 'no gift' mean to you?
is... is that good?
probably got a new router on black friday
good in a bad way
IT'S A POST THANKSGIVING MIRACLE.
No, no. Is morning!
Although I just got back home after spending the night at my brother's house and
My bed IS awfully comfortable ...

Season 5 should've been the last.
