I had a Barcode Battler. I loved it. Looking back, I guess the fun came from the book that accompanied it along with creating my milk, cereal, or soap themed heroes.

8·2 months agoI’m using 2 old laptops for a Jellyfin server. One runs Jellyfin, Sonarr and Radarr. The other runs Jackett and Transmission. I’m looking to add a third to handle Sonarr and Radarr and let the original one do just Jellyfin.
I have no backups except for the ones Jellyfin, Sonarr, and Radarr create 🤷♂️

There are people out there who basically only play Call of Duty. They’d be paying $360 a year for it.

2·6 months agoSo last week my boss gave me 4 older laptops and I was looking for games that would work on Thinkpad T420s with Mint.
I got Myth II running on those 4 Linux machines and 2 Macs. I have 3 friends to LAN party it with.
Check out Project Magma.
They’ve been doing the work for decades now to keep the game alive. You need a “disc” to install (available on myabandonware.com), but they have installers that do all the heavy lifting of getting it to work on modern machines.
Then the two must-have plug-ins are Twice Born Edition, which gives you upscaled graphics and The Fallen Lords: Deluxe Edition, which gives you the Myth:TFL campaign in Myth II: Soulblighter.
I fucking loved Myth as a kid and I am absolutely stoked that I can play it again.

I dunno. It’s plugged in directly to the modem/router provided by my ISP while my wifi is provided by a separate mesh setup, which is also plugged in to the modem/router 🤷♂️
Yea same I don’t even care.
It’s an old laptop, I have a backup. Go ahead, fuck it up.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?English
5·7 months agoI was going to try to host my music on Jellyfin, but I had an issue.
Since 2005 I’ve been curating my music collection with my old iPod that I still use.
I like my albums in release order so, with the iPod in mind, probably 80% of them are named [year] - [album]
Lidarr and Jellyfin won’t find them because of this and I don’t want to manually sort through 2000-some albums.
So I still use my iPod (20 years old next year!)

1·7 months agoThere’s so many games out there I’d like to play, but I’m an adult with responsibilities. I don’t need the newest game or gaming hardware because no matter how hard I try to catch up I never will, so I don’t bother to try and I always have something to play on my hardware.
They might even need 6-7 thousand glyphs
