Almost all AAA games are online live service games. I have absolutely no interest in those games. I have been surviving off of indy or lower budget games pretty well while the big guys are off trying to make all the money doing boring shit.

The choice is to extend the deadline and work as normal or crack the whip in a vain hope you reach the deadline. Don’t lie like a fucking cunt and say you had no choice.

I have zero interest in online live service games so largely the entire AAA output for the last 5 years I have no interest in.

I only use DODI when there is no Fitgirl release. DODI torrents are always behind spam/scam link gates and the installer is horrible. In the DODI installer to start it for some reason you have to press the up arrow or something. Just… why? It’s like he saw that feature on his phone lock screen and decided to add it without asking himself what purpose it serves. The installer is also totally broken if you have changed windows scaling so every time I want to use it I have to go into the properties and disable scaling.

In my opinion core infrastructure like the router should not be virtualized. I want to be able to work on my proxmox server or reboot it without bringing down the whole network. And if there is a problem with my proxmox server I now have the additional headache of having the network down too and my IPKVMs don’t work.

I would 100% still work if I were rich. The only thing that would change is when and what I work on.

I have been looking at Garage. Not sure if you can set certain buckets to different mount points or whatever but it does seem to be easier to setup and update which would make running two instances much less painful.

Thanks, this looks like a possible solution. I will have to dive into it to see if it will work the way I need it to.

You could probably set up a cloudflare tunnel. I forget what they call it. I think technically sending video through it is against their TOS but if just a few friends and family are using it I doubt you will hit their naughty list.

When you have a leveling system and everything in the world levels up along side you there may as well not be a leveling system at all. Devs do it when they want to say they have a leveling system but are too lazy to make it work correctly.

Disable passwords and use public private keys and don’t worry about it

Cards like this are notoriously counterfeited so I would be cautious

The lifeless performances will come through in the end product. Wish them nothing but the worst.

I have a lifetime plex pass so this does not really affect me but I expect the trend of degrading experience to continue. I would have switched to Jellyfin a long time ago but I am dreading contacting everyone I share with and getting them migrated.

I have a minio instance that I use to distribute files

None currently. Wish I could afford a GPU to play with some stuff.

I don’t have any insight into the hardware you mentioned but I wanted to say that I put opnsense onto a low powered computer a few years ago and love it. It is extremely configurable and easy to use with some pretty good documentation out there.

I got some extra room in my house too
