If you have any experience with using Kodi with streaming services? I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for it, but testing it out, I didn't really see a good way to integrate it with things like Netflix or YouTube - not even a good way to launch the Windows apps for them.

If you have experience with Kodi, how did you use it with streaming services (if you did)? I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for it, but testing it out, I didn't really see a good way to integrate it with things like Netflix or YouTube - not even a good way to launch the Windows apps for them.

Am I missing something? Kodi doesn't seem to have any support for any streaming services, nor any good way to launch the relevant apps from the home screen?

Dota does too but its fairly hidden and requires unanimous agreement. That said, Dota is far less snowbally, so unlike League or Deadlock, it rarely makes sense to forfet very early.

This is happening in the United States’ backyard, and the US government is doing nothing to intervene other than complain about migrants.

Unless the Haitian government is willing to give significant control of the country over to the US, or pay for US weapons and mercinaries like Israel does theres not a lot they can reasonably do beyond providing financial aid and humanitarian support, as they have been. What else would you have them do, invade Haiti?

Do you know if it works anything like the Steam Deck's game mode? For example, could I potentially add shortcuts for Chrome with specific launch options, or maybe even Kodi? I tinkered with setting up shortcuts for non-Steam items on my SteamDeck and had a some success before, so if its similar, that would probably work well.q

As in just purely screen mirror from a phone?

There is an Avatar TTRPG and it faces similar problems to making a new game based on the series, and handles it similarly to what you're suggesting.

The TTRPG divides the setting into Eras, Kyoshi era with the nations still being established, Roku era with established nations, The Hundred Years War era taking place during the war but before Ang wakes, The Aang era, after the show and its sequel comics, and the Kora era taking place after TLoK and its comic trilogy. Notably, none take place during the events of the main series. This means that the can create new stories that better fit the medium and don't break cannon, and at the same time, you can still interact with significant characters and tie your story into the cannon such as making a quest resulting from the reprocusions of, or a prerequisite for events in the main canon.

Edit: clearly none of us read the article:

It'll put players in the role of an "all-new, never-before-seen Avatar" and take place thousands of years in the past.

Thr trick will be how long this last before they change it back or break it another way.

I'm still kinda confused what the purpose of this new content is. Maybe its just me, but it feels like nothing here is particularly notable mechanically, or visually. The biome itself is ugly and contrasts heavily with most structures you'd want to build in a forest. The new blocks provide little new in terms of colour or texture given that they're just greyscale wood when we already have a relatively large palette of grayscale blocks. Even the new mob, while somewhat unique, doesn't feel like it'd be useful for anything but the most niche redstone builds, and aside from that, will be forgotten. Are they planning on adding a bunch more? It didn't sound like it, but maybe I'm missing something?
