TNG 4x17 - Night Terrors

Still a fave.

I’ll play whatever game is good, from whatever platform has the best price, provided it’s compatible.

It’s excellent. There’s missing art assets (placeholder graphics, especially noticeable with the keepsakes - they’re all just gold rings with a single letter pricetag rn), but the gameplay loop is great, the mechanics all appear to be in place and the audio is incredible (just wait until the zone 2 boss fight).

It absolutely feels like a worthy successor to the original. Mel plays very differently than Zag, but the controls are no less tight. God Mode returns if you dislike “git gud”.

Playing it on my Steamdeck, and thoroughly enjoying it.

S2 will be on Netflix

Premise was great, buildup was okay, outcome and resolution were awful.

Sir Patrick Stewart as the Encarta (or was it Britannica?) encyclopedia “help” narration was hilarious in how unnecessary it was.

Loved him as the evil Protoss in SC2.

Jellyfin happily runs on a pi, but really only for direct streaming.

You’re generally better off just making the pi a samba server and connecting to it in Kodi. For jellyfin, you really do want a 7th Gen Intel or better (old 7100t-based thin clients are «chef’s kiss»).

Immutable distributions are the future. I’d suggest getting used to them. Fedora Kinoite is my daily driver on my PC.

René’s.

“Rémy-Luc Julian Michel Auberjonois is an American actor. He is best known for his recurring role as Mr. Albin in the television series Weeds and as Dr. Emerson on the television series Mad Men.” - Wikipedia page.

He can act.

“After rejoining the Great Link, I carry with me now the voice of all my People. I apologize if I… if we… sound… different.”

Problem solved.

René’s son is basically a clone of his dad, appearance wise.

Eureka Facile (or Manuale - they’re basically the same thing, Facile has extra sound dampening)

A few 3D printed extras (angled based, angled hopper chute), and silicon bellows (Etsy sells everything), and you’ve got yourself one hell of a single doser.

And it’s actually quiet, unlike many of the Baratza products; if they’re too much $, though the Encore ESP is good, and while loud-ish, quick.

I had the Breville SGP before my Eureka, wasn’t a fan of it - stepless is the way.

Signal was fantastic until they stupidly killed SMS integration.

Dude, with the exception of Gamepass, Linux gaming is really easy.

If you’re okay with Redhat/Fedora, using Nobara Linux (it’s a spin-off, unofficial, but by the guy who does a lot of the Proton [magic compatibility sauce] stuff, GloriousEggroll, who AFAIK is a dev at RedHat) literally installs everything you need.

Steam → Steam
GoG/Epic → Heroic Launcher
Amazon/Blizzard → Lutris
Gamepass → You have to use the cloud version with Edge browser

Click, install, game.

There’s only a few Anticheat PITA titles still (I believe Valorant is one) that won’t work.

Toys r Us is still in business… in Canada. Went there yesterday, in fact.
