I used to think this too, but I learned that "soccer" is a slang British term for "association football" or "assoccer". Kinda cool

It was initially introduced to colonies as "soccer", so it's no wonder it stuck in some places.

Anyway, call it what you want. I use both depending on what social circle I'm talking to.

I would not recommend an older flat screen, there is quite literally zero benefit for your described use case. Modern LCD/LED TVs provide much better image and features, and they can still be picked up for cheap.

Regardless, the TV won't matter much for any of the consoles you mentioned that have native HDMI output, with the quality of the panel being the deciding factor and not the console attached to it.

For anything without HDMI just use a scaler such as a RetroTink2x (or the also very capable knockoff Retroscaler2x from Aliexpress) so you can both improve the image quality for a modern TV and get the HDMI output.

Have you tried Symfonium? I liked Plexamp too, but I think Symfonium is even better, and it's compatible with just about any music server.

Not all modern panels have 'smart' features, and those that do need not be used. Your use case is literally changing the source on the TV (smart or otherwise) to various HDMI inputs.

Older panels will offer worse image quality, be larger and heavier, likely consume more power (especially in the case of plasma TVs), and not have features that will improve gaming experience such as game mode to reduce input lag, upscaling to improve image quality especially for the X360/PS3 generation, and some sort motion-interpolation like Samsung's Game Motion Plus especially for 30fps games.

There is no benefit to getting older panels for your use case, except perhaps cost benefits although modern panels can still be found for very low prices. An older panel will not provide any sort of gaming advantage simply because it was manufactured around the time of a PS3 or whatever.

This looks great! Awesome name too.

Over the past couple of days I have been looking specifically for a chore tracking solution, so it's impeccable timing to see this pop up.

I really like the idea of there not being specific dates or schedules, but just a time since a chore was last done. I've only just set myself up with Grocy last night but tracking things on a specific date/schedule concerns me because sometimes I simply cannot get it done and think the flexibility in what you've gone for is more accommodating.

One thing I would certainly appreciate are notifications on mobile. This doesn't necessarily mean a mobile app (but also doesn't mean not!), but even something that could hook into, for example, Gotify would be neat.

Thanks for sharing your cool project!

Thanks, your explanation on the date is what I meant but poorly expressed.

I didn't mean gotify specifically either, just some way of getting notifications out of it would be great. Anyone like me needs them because I am not diligent enough to sign into a dashboard to pro actively check.

Keep up the awesome work, I'll be keeping my eye on this for sure.
