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.

Nice, hope you enjoy it. Sail safely my friend!

In case you missed it, they did do a TV show within the world that expanded on the origins of some of the characters in the movies. It was pretty good. Just as ridiculous but with different actors.

I too enjoyed the lore building in the movies and this was cool to see it from a different time period. B

Wolfs was fantastic. A classic dad-action movie with some aging, charismatic dudes having fun making a silly little film with low stakes and just enough heart.

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.

This looks great. Thanks for the link!

Heck yeah! Stoked to see Josh’s standup getting posted here. He’s easily my favorite comedian right now and relentlessly release’s material every week that is fantastic.

Highly recommend folks check his channel out.

Back from the dead. holy cow. spent so many hours on this game in vita

I mean I would go with gorilla arms but your point definitely stands.

I just happen to enjoy punching people into a red mist. Lol

It’s weird that you make that comparison. I have been an avid 2fort fan since og TF and feel like that map at least had some breathing room to get away from the constant grenades spam and chaos. It might not have been much but there was at least a chance to stop for a split second and figure out what the hell is going on.

I think being able to choose whether I wanted to jump into a 24/7 2fort server or not also helped with the feeling of “this map is trash why are we even here” less than it does in modern games where you only have skill-based matchmaking and voting based upon randos.

I love a good 2fort battle with people I know and have been playing with for years.

Yeah that might be the thing that isn’t jiving well with me. It just feels like chaos. There’s nothing tactical about mashing the fire button and spinning in a circle. Definitely a skill issue.

Gripping points. Thank you for your contribution.

Are we married to the same person?

There was a great response to this from Gabe several years ago (looks like 13 years ago, fuck, I’m old)…

I get that for some users. In my case, 90% of what’s in the catalog that I’d be interested in I already own. I know this isn’t the standards, but it’s what happens when you’re an avid Steam Gamer with a Humble Sub and a collecting problem.

I joined Game pass to have Xbox live to play with my console buddies and for day one exclusive access. At this point, I’ve moved most of them on to PC and Xbox has done nada with my 5 or so years of subscription.

You know, that’s fair. They haven’t shit on us… yet. 😁
