I loved Monster Train, and Slay the Spire has such a great reputation, but the art style is ass so I’ve been reluctant to pick it up (Monster Train’s is pretty bad too). This doesn’t look like much of an improvement, but perhaps gameplay trumps graphics again here.
Dwarf Fortress? Go hard or go home.
This version of Warcraft II has the map editor, right? I really enjoyed building my own tower defense scenarios.
I’ll pass otherwise.
I would be using Fintube for Youtube integration, but it’s broken :-(
Yeah, my main complaint with PoE 1 is the way it bludgeons you with lore. The writers are so excited to show off this massive world they’ve invented, they just aren’t very artful about it.
I’m (re)building a bird feeder for my mother. I have a design I came up with that makes good use of crappy big-box cedar boards. The squirrels eventually ruin them, so I’m ready for this year’s iteration.
The body is dovetailed together, which feels maybe a little over complicated, but it is a really strong joint and I enjoy cutting them.
The imgur album for the one I made five years ago is actually still up:

The tone is much less dour than the first one, and I think it does a better job introducing the world. It’s still a lot to take in, but all of the text has links you can click on that explain anything you don’t recognize.
This would have been funnier with a cow, IMO.
I’ve been replaying Pillars of Eternity II - in fact I have the tavern music stuck in my head right now. Mostly I just need some CRPG gameplay, so I’m not doing anything wildly different with my character this time around. Maybe I should do an evil run…
Knowing how the ending works, I’m still not sure which faction to go with.
Probably Persona 5 at 60% off. I liked 4 and 5 has an incredible reputation.
Wasteland 3 is $8. Seems like a great value.
That’s good to know. I leave location services off on Android when I’m not using them and the possibility of a triangulation leak always nagged me a little. Not a lot, because I’ve never heard of any actual harm coming from it. But a little.
I want that cow calendar.
The server certainly should have picked up the change in metadata but I can’t help you with why it didn’t.
I can suggest that you edit the metadata in Jellyfin rather than using external tools and moving items in and out of the library. Just click the three-dot menu for a track or album and choose “Edit metadata”. If it doesn’t pick up changes made from Jellyfin then something is very wrong.
If you can avoid having you server and the media library on separate systems you should. That means buying (or I suppose building, but I wouldn’t recommend it) a NAS with sufficient processing ability to stream / transcode as much as you need, or stuffing a lot of storage into your mini PC.
One of the problems you’ll run into if you use separate systems is that it’s non-trivial to get the server to automatically notice new items in the media library and update to include them. I’m sure there are others.
Ah, okay. I’ll hold off on updating then (I think I’m using native mode, but I can’t remember).
So this WON’T break the “Jellyfin” Kodi plugin? Just making sure it’s not the same thing as “Jellyfin4Kodi”.
Well that’s a shame. I’m sort of half-assedly using syncthing to backup my photos from my phone to my server, but mostly I rely on immich. I never really got the hang of using syncthing with my phone.
I’ll second Tyranny and Pillars 2.
Tyranny’s ending is… well… they tacked on some text - but it’s a great game otherwise.
PoE2 is more enjoyable than the first one, IMO, just for the lighter tone. They do a better job of explaining the world, too, because you aren’t bludgeoned with lore-dumps like in 1.
The only console I ever spent a lot of time with was the NES, so I’m not at all native to the modern XBox / Play Station controller with its 166 buttons. But I know that some games are best with a controller, so I bought a Steam Controller and an XBox controller. I made it most of the way through Nier Automata with the Steam Controller, but I put the game down for some reason or another. I also gave Hades (what I think was) a good effort, but I never made it out and I stopped caring.
The only game I’ve completed with a controller is Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, which you really shouldn’t play with m+k, if it’s even possible. I’d never try to play an FPS with a controller.
I got a free copy with a graphics card I bought recently, but AAA games aren’t really my jam. OTOH, I would like to put the card through its paces… Chances are it will make me create yet another account somewhere to play it, so I probably won’t bother with it.
