Likewise, I have never been able to get a satisfying answer as to why no one seems to be willing or able to put the same ASpeed AST2x00 chips that it seems half the OEM IPMI/iKVM/whatever solutions use on a standard PCIe card inst

I feel the same way, it's incredibly frustrating how many HTs exist these days that can charge off of USB-C PD but still require these janky headset jack adapters to even do serial data transfers. There hasn't been a good excuse

I would argue that if your game legitimately requires a long and complicated rule book that perhaps a board is not the best medium for the game. My partner loves board games, and one of my takes that drives her nuts is that IMO most board
