    I don't understand your use flow there. I have a hue bridge with a static ip in my house that controls my lights. Management through a third party app is instant. Are you individua…

    Oh, dang. The screenwriting she's done for fantastic beasts is not on par with her novel writing. If she's something like a show runner here with hands on each script, it would mak…

    You're right in your thoughts. It's the perfect form factor for those single player narrative games, especially if you don't own a tv w/ a steamlink or the like. I usually have tro…
