You shoulda been looking elsewhere at least a year ago by now.

I was working in sales when I started self hosting like a decade ago. But the things I taught myself then led me to a career in data analysis. Same company.

I haven’t tried the meal planner side of things yet but this has been a great app for managing my favorite recipes.

I dunno if you’d wanna waste a whole sd card for a single game when you could fit hundreds on it.

One more harness, bro.

I pay for

My domain: $75 for 5 years

Usenet newsgroup access: $75 a year

Internet: $100 a month.

I do all that with sonarr. Custom quality profiles with size ranges to look for depending on the resolution wanted and quality profile selected.

You can also tell it to only keep specific episodes, or seasons. I only keep the first 10 seasons of The Simpsons as example. Or The Daily Show, I only keep the last 10 new episodes.

Sometimes, it’s the most basic of realizations that we miss.

This whole comment thread raised my electric bill by $.02/kwh

This is a weird generation of consoles. If you’re an early adopter, you probably saved money. That sorta thing never happens.

Journey before destination.

Used to be that disk jockeys also got to pick what they played to an extent. Now it’s all just predetermined lists nationwide brought to you by iHeartRadio. But yeah. Crazy to think how quickly things changed.

Used to be we would share mixtapes… I really miss that. It was an intimate social interaction that we’ve entirely lost with modern streaming.

I miss the days of people having their own bespoke collection of their favorite movies and shows. Everything is homogenized now. At least when I pirate, I’m still building my own personal media library. And I never have to worry about the show I like being removed later.

But I’m not gonna lie. The quality drop off in content caused by streaming services I think is a bigger issue

Netflix activity tries to make content that’s not actually good enough to watch without browsing a phone. Second screen content, they call it. And I guarantee someone in a finance role realized they could make way more by doing just enough to keep people, rather than try to actively create amazing content, because it’s soo much cheaper to not pay for good writers, or good set designers or actors when you could just find someone who’s good enough. I think it’s because the money people spend is recurring, linked to the service as a whole, and not linked to the individual work… users have to vote by watching now, and some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen is also some of the least watched.

Rust developer opens mouth. Inserts foot.

Being out is kind of misleading for this game. It’s being released episodically, and only the first two episodes are available currently. So you pay for the whole game, but can’t play the whole game for a couple weeks after all the episode release. Think of it like a TV show, every week they plan on dropping another episode or two until the whole story is done. Looks like it’s going to be 7 episodes.

I played it last night and it honestly feels like a TV show more than a video game, the actual game portion of it comes down to very simplistic quick time events, choose your own responses, and then the job loop of dispatching heroes which honestly is pretty basic stuff.

But I really enjoyed the story so far.

Well that’s one way to make sure I never play either of those games again.

Ah ok that makes sense, I totally forgot about the Larian account. Thank you!

So anyone know if this’ll sync save files between Linux and windows builds?

Oh, that’s a shame. My desire to try out Bazzite outweighs my desire to play this game, though.

If it’s proton compatible, it might still be possible to play on something beefier than a steam deck, maybe?
