Julie Christmas is a personal favorite.
The Battle of Mice records are harrowing (content warning for DV). Made Out of Babies was incredible as well. Same for her work with Cult of Luna. Some really, really unique vocals there.
My personal favorite is the Spylacopa Self Titled record. That album was a great blending of styles and guest artists, but Julie’s work stands out.
That’s just like, your opinion man.
There ya go, you can make a site for each of those. Use promo code ImATroll for 0% off.
Been playing quite a bit of the saboteur lately. Its a great game.
Posted above, I’ll drop it here as well, requestarr performs the same service but via discord.
Layering on top of that (I’m sorry to recommend a discord app) but, Requestarr is awesome as well. It allows you to attach a bot to a channel and request up through Overseer, Sonarr or Radarr. Works for local and remote users.
Live service means there are constant “content” updates being released by the developer/publisher.
This can be character skins, weapon skins or other cosmetics, new maps or modes, new classes, skills or really anything. A lot of times these are wrapped up in to “battle passes” time limited, purchaseable collections of stuff designed to keep players engaging with the game daily for carrots being dangled in front of them. Most of these are also time limited so if you don’t jump through all of the Hoops before the timer expires you no longer have access to the content that you were playing for and paying for.
To relate to old school gaming think of them like mini-expansion packs. The part that most people take issue with is the strategy behind the majority of them.
Almost all live service games are designed to keep players running on the hedonistic treadmill looking for the dopamine hit of that next unlock. In the more egregious free-to-play game you see that crafted through dark patterns in a way that incentivizes users to buy shortcut items through the marketplace to either automatically collect the ranks needed for the unlock or provide double accrual rate for whatever the experience marker is.
The reason they are coined lives service is due the nature of them receiving this constant update drip in a manner that would be live as opposed to static in traditional, Old School multiplayer games where you may see a large expansion every once in awhile but certainly not a weekly or monthly driven of new shit for the players to grind away at trying to unlock.
Aye, that was my suspicion. Really awesome to be stripped of options for privacy so they can suck down that data.
Yt-dlp still works thankfully.
Grayjay started shitting the bed on me recently (Android via Samsung and Graphene, and on Desktop Linux/Windows) unless I disable vpn.
Even with Agent andDNS whitelisting for the apps.
A bit of a bummer after recently donating.
I think its kinda nice we have a shit poster filling my feed with recycled memes.
Sure beats the usual spate of climate crisis, muskiness, and Palastenian genocide.
To each their own I suppose, but filters can be your friend.
While I somewhat agree, my key (pun intended) inference was that they’ve offered the key caps as a standalone purchase for quite some time and I don’t think those are selling well so now you can get a bundle with a board to help move stock. The opposing point being there are likely boards that are superior in a similar price range you could combine with the standalones.
If you’re a lotr fan this very likely doesn’t matter.
Feels like they’ve had a hard time selling these caps so now they’re bumbling them with a mid board.
Not sure there’s any value here unless the price drops.
The guides are pretty solid. The one that sometimes holds people up is ensuring you have a post-roll playout for the channel. I forgot that when going making new channels after a few months of initial config and it caused issues with channels rendering properly downstream.
Yup. It’s easy to setup the tuner in JF. We use Plex and Jellyfin frontends without issue.
I can second this. Been running Ersatz for about 6 months now after getting endless frustration with Disque. Currently have 7 channels configured, upwards of 2 to 3 active at any given point.
One of the things that seems to help with not dropping streams as much is configuring it to treat your media shares as local to ersatz. I had tried mirroring my Disque setup with Plex managing the libraries via Plex Playlists and it was sloppy and dropped a lot between episodes/media.
Anyways, +1 for Ersatz.
Would you mind DM’ing me that link when you have some time?
Unfortunately my external users don’t have access to my jellyfin instance. Which is unfortunate because I enjoy it way more for Ersatz channels than I do Plex
Thank you for the suggestion! I could try and see if my user pool would give that a shot but, I have some pretty tech illiterate people using my services.
My partner has embraced overseer though so it’s been a win in the acceptance stack in that regard. . since they don’t use Discord
Additionally, you can purchase “parts” bags/kits which are marketed as “repair accessories” for 11+ rd magazines(usually 30 rds for 5.56 and 7.62). These somehow skirt around the law from my understanding. You’re buying the complete mag, but assemble it yourself.
