Haven't seen any complaints about F, but the SH2 remake was made by a studio with a spotty record, they made some unnecessary changes, and it still has traversal stutter.

To be clear, I meant that that is why Edgerunners worked for me; having already experienced a story through a visual medium, I have near-zero interest of a movie or show adaptation.

I don't think it's fair to say the shows you listed are bad because their stories differ from the games. They failed to respect the source material. Instead of telling a story in the universe of these games, they hit the universe with hammers and told a story in the result. The Witcher show is a book adaptation that started out mediocre and progressively got worse as it became apparent that they didn't care about the source material.

I hadn't thought to automate connecting to Wireguard when not on my home network, that's a good call. I've just set up Tasker on my phone and tablet.

Too many red flags, I can't see this being good. Would love to be proven wrong though.

Edgerunners works because they told a story in the universe rather than the story of the game, and because of the studio chosen to handle it. I've never heard of this studio before, but I have already played the game.

I can respect them going back and improving the original game, but it still didn't click with me, so I'm unlikely to try the sequel.

I'm still using Plex because Jellyfin refuses to play surround sound on my Nvidia Shield. I do have a Jellyfin server running alongside Plex, with synchronized progress, for the inevitable point where I will have to jump ship.

It ended up being my second distro because Kubuntu completely crapped out after an update. Tumbleweed is excellent!
