After getting a NAS to replace my raspberry pi 4 as a home server, I literally just SCPd the bind mounts and docker compose folder, adjusted a few env variables (and found out of a few I needed to add for things like the uid/guid the NAS used as default for the media user I created) and it took maybe 30 minutes total to be back and running. Highly agree with you from experience.

They are also way too small in terms of storage given that they don’t support external cards (Apple is similar). Google/Apple definitely want buyers to also buy their subscription storage services or pay the high premium for the next storage level.

I’m on an XR right now and it feels older, but still very much usable. I wish companies offered options to only get security patches instead of having to buy new phones every few years, that’s the 1 thing I hope Google keeps around and doesn’t walk back in the future.

I hate being out of battery tho :(

Always happens with BT headphones.

As a recent refugee from W10, I agree. Not shitting on Lutris since it did kind of worked, so it might have been a matter of playing with some settings, but heroic just worked.

Lutris on a fresh bazzite install: install GOG launcher and sign in. Crappy launcher to install the game (same as windows). Install Witcher 3, start playing. Find out the installer never reported success. Next time it launches it throws an error because the game was not installed. Default is to not cache the installer files. Multi-GB download starts again.

Heroic on the same setup (after the above): sign in to GOG. Get black and white icons for all games in the platform you own. Double click or right click (can’t remember which) to install. Game installs and the icon is in color now. Double click, it starts and works.

That’s fair, but as someone that has not played the game, you need to provide some specifics otherwise it just gets lost within a lot of praise for the game (which I’m not sure I will like).

Tentacles sounds more delicious than anything.

Great summary “a lot of common error checking has gone into it. It can be told what you want without specifics that would only potentially be applicable to 1 system type.”

While I read the title I was thinking “that sounds like Linux with extra steps” - maybe that’s good enough for some discussion.

I understand that’s the purpose of a party game, but the mini games I saw were literally chose a thing and it will explode or it will not, no fun involved after you experience it once. Not even like a blue shell that still needs you to move forward.

Also there was a game that made you chose a 1 or 2 and once you got to a few players, it was impossible to win regardless if you got left with the option before the bee hive. At least make the dice spin faster when less players are around to make it feel random but fair (even if it isn’t).

There is a point where things move from fun and chaotic to completely random and less replayable.

A chance to be a much better Mario party if there is less RNG.

Saw a stream of some people playing Mario party superstars from a year ago and it looked very unfair/RNG based to the point of being boring.

What about Edd and Eddy?

Unfortunately it’s all undone by:

• Distracted drivers in their cell phones
• Very large cars. More mass = more damage and less visibility

It’s especially sad when a very large portion of the deaths are kids 0-4 in some residential driveway at a very disproportionate rate:

Edit: for cell phone damage specifically, look at the uptick in deaths following the 2010s on many studies when smartphones became commonplace.

As the saying goes, the average person isn’t very smart, and by definition half of the population is even less savvy.

Out of curiosity as an owner of a QNAP NAS, how did it go out? Any signs it was in its last legs? Now that I’ve used one, the form factor is the only thing better than most options out there when I got it.

Nowadays all QNAP, Sinology and other NAS vendors supposedly offer a lot of extra value with their cloud options, but I find them a sure way to get hacked based on the average company’s investment in security (I work in IT, it is a sad affair sometimes) combined with all the ransomware specifically targeting them due to old packages they rely on = I’ll build my next system from the ground up, even if the initial cost is higher and the result is uglier.

Personal opinion: Because some food should not be that cheap. It’s part of the reason we are so fat in the US (plus car centric cities). Subsidies keep some things like corn artificially low and they end up being hammered in into every product (biodiesel, sweeteners, animal feed, etc.)

With that setup, companies have learned to use those subsidies and other workarounds and loopholes to maximize profit at the expense of the product being output and we fall for it every time.

Edit: plus the usual smoke screen if using some events like COVID to jack prices up, increase executive pay and acquire smaller companies to artificially set the price in some instances.

The problem is game companies don’t make games for gamers, they make games for investors. Hoarding IPs and patents is what they do.

Forgot the top 5/6/10/25 things you didn’t know about game XYZ pulled directly from some YouTube video. Also applies to Tech news websites.

He was probably referencing the one on his tattoo on a mirror?

Reminds me of The Legend of Zelda’s Satori/Lord of the Mountain. Are they based on the same Japanese lore or reference perhaps?
