so heres the deal. currently i have on my main pc, Big Box Premium running from an external 8tb. i also have a raspberry pi 3 b+ running retropie and im setting up another pc that will be running batocera. my question is, do i really need to have 3 instances of every game. in other words is there a way for me to share my 8tb big box drive and have retropie on my raspberry pi and batocera on the other pc access the same games over a network? any help at all is appreciated. thanks in advance.

You could potentially mount the network share and allow access that way, just setting folder locations in the emulators to the share. But the biggest potential issues I could see is how each emulator handles game saves as well as loading speed for games which are streamed from the source.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I do but the optometrist I got my glasses at last year was expensive as fuck even WITH my insurance, so I'm gonna order on Zenni and see if my insurance will reimburse it. And if they won't, then, oh well, still will be cheaper anyway
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    $90 for the safety glasses on Zenni, vs my daily wear glasses were >$200 after insurance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Haven't been to the eye doc in like 3 years but was pretty surprised they cut the glass in office had the in like an hour ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's pretty sweet, I had to wait like a week or so for mine to be ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Lookin at buying another pair of regular glasses too. And maybe prescription sunglasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah most just ship off to a lab could always call around to see if new ones have in office glass cutters
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    too much effort + im shy and social anxiety :( lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I just wear them when I drive cause I'd like to actually read signs
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think they said I'm far sighted or some bs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My eyes aren't that bad, I need mine for driving but ever since I got my latest pair I wear them all the time when I'm home now, I never used to before
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm near sighted though
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like docs just say you're this and that for the insurance claims half the time
    +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But even my computer monitors, that are like 3ft away when I'm leaning back in my chair, so much easier to see now with my glasses than without
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Doc was cool though, he measured my old glasses and I wanted to try different contacts than I had had previously and he's like "hmmm I bet you're this strength and that strength" and damn dude was dead on the money
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    lmao that clip
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Know a guy who did laser surgery for like 2g but argued you'd never need glasses again
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    laser eye surgery scares me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The thought of any kind of surgery shit being done on my eyes gives me unbelievable amounts of dread and anxiety, and with the potential risks or side effects that laser eye surgery has, I don't think my eyes are bad enough to warrant it. I can see without my glasses - not great, but not bad either.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I feel that if it gets to the point where all I see is blurry then I might consider if
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Just do it like in Minority Report. Won't feel a thing.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Is it the full van? If so t's suspiciously cheap.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Ah, the 2000€ is only the deposit
