Hi there everyone !

Recently I bought a new PSTV. Now it´s installed, HENkaku enabled. Great.

First thing to do with it, obviously: Play games. Wonderful. Also there are homebrew games and emus. I know. I also know the Steam game stream app, though I didn´t try, yet and doesn´t make much sense for me since I play better at my desktop.

But now I ask myself: What else can I do with it ?

Ok, there is a mail client and a browser. Though it does not make so much sense without a keyboard. Are there wireless keyboards compatible with the PSTV ? With a keyboard still the browser seems a bit slow, outdated, uncomfortable. Aren´t there any other (actual) browsers ?

Next thing, are there any apps? I mean, apps, as we know them from our tabs and phones. Something to make the PSTV more useful.

For example:
- A audio / video player with (PC) network streaming capabilities (FTP / SMB support)
- Some remote client (TeamViewer, VNC)
- Some streaming service app (Spotify, Netflix etc.)
- Some office tool (Microsoft Office, Libre Office)
- Some ebook / comic reading app (ComicRack, Adobe Reader, MoonReader)
- Some reading flat app (readfy, readly, Skoobe)
- Messenger / Chat app (Skype, Whatsapp etc.)
- Social network app (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat etc.)
- Any other kind of app (f.e. Ebay, ParcelTrack, Cloud, FileExplorer etc, etc, etc.)

I mean, as long as the thing is just to play with it (or use a few extra features with a PS3/4), it seems a bit like a waste to me and I might consider to sell it again then, since other set-top boxes or consoles would be much more useful then for me.

Thanks !

The PSTV is basically a vita in a box to be used in a TV, if playing Vita/PSP/PS1 games and a few homebrews/emulators is not enough functionality for you... Well you bought the wrong device then...

    bout to buy me some prescription safety glasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Got eye insurance? Some do custom laser cutting engraving same day in office
  • 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.
