Then buy a physical copy and store backups on a media server.
That or buy the media on a digital service and rip the file or screen capture it out.
Even buying a physical copy only entitles you to “ownership of a license” nowadays anyway. Ie: how Nintendo gets away with all their bs surrounding emulation.
Supergiant has the level of respect from me that early Blizzard had.
They have done nothing but release complete, solid games throughout their history. Everything in their library is at least an 8/10 and worth the money imo.
I have no reason to believe Hades 2 will be any different based on the tech test and the couple hours I played today.
Syncthing is fantastic. Loving it so far.
There’s always Xcom - the shining example of what a mobile port could be.
I wish other companies would see that and go “yeah, that’s doable”
Instead, this crap happens.
The customer is only right if they threaten to cancel their service
Even then, if the cost of improving service is more than one customer’s cancellation, the customer can kick rocks
I’m just waiting for a good 2-in-1 Linux solution to come around. I don’t have the programming chops to try and make something myself.
I’d love to have something like Gboard (maybe de-googled) that completely deactivates when in laptop-mode.
I don’t even mind if it’s Xorg or Wayland at this point.
Better yet - mine keeps trying to push me to the new version, but the (new) version is blocked in my org.
So every time it tries to open, I get a “teams (new) is blocked in your organization.” And I have to fight it to go back to the old version.
Free hardware is the best hardware!
I’ve had trouble using any kind of VPN on ABB. It’s pretty frustrating.
Second time Sony has done this in almost as many months. Fuck Sony.
Hello! Would you like to destroy some evil today?
The World of Tanks/Warships fans are getting out of hand again I see
Guess I’ll be putting Helluva Boss on my Plex server.
Meh.
My prime was already cancelled because they billed me in early January, when that extra $100 could be used on Christmas gifts, so it always snuck up on me.
I didn’t use it enough to justify it anyway.
I’m able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I’ve got:
One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a ‘cluster’ (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)
One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.
VMs:
Network:
All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price of “it was going into the trash anyway”
The wife and I have really enjoyed playing Ravenswatch.
It’s an early-access rougelite that plays a bit like a Diablo/League (sans toxicity because it’s co-op, not competitive)
Farm efficiently and level your hero within the time limit and fight a boss at the end.
It’s a great time and 20% off on the sale
Plex+Plexamp works great for audiobooks
For some reason the regular Plex player would restart tracks on me after being out of the app for a long time. But Plexamp seems to have that one under control.
Oh, also, while we’re talking audiobooks, check out Graphic Audio versions of your various books. They do a great job
The thought of someone’s Linux install failing catastrophically, displaying a “MSoS”, then the user switching back to the is MS OS because of it is funny to me.
Meh, I prefer Vivaldi because I use it on PC too.
I like the extra customizability and features they offer vs the competition.
The way I’ve been using is to use the Vivaldi browser’s inbuilt adblocking. Comes with the added benefit of syncing to other devices and background audio playback so I can lock my phone and still have audio playing.
The mobile version of the website is also functionally identical to the app, sans advertising.
Nintendo is just on their own planet when it comes to… Basically everything, including game pricing.
