You can just play Halo 2 multiplayer.

It's right there. They're stabbing and shooting all day long just waiting for you.

I have a friend like this, well, he was like this for years and years, and I get it. You want to follow the hype and excitement of the greater gaming public when a game is new, but it's just so fleeting when you could go play nearly anything similar with an active playerbase basically... forever.

My parents blew up any inheritance I would've ended up with due to bad decisions and shit luck.

Now my mom depends on me during her final years as we cruise the stars in a two-bedroom apartment.

A lot of my friends live together and share rent. Some with their parents, and a minority got hitched and live with a spouse. It seems like a lot of people depend on small family groups these days.

They hate any color that isn't white scaled to a slightly off-peach beige.

What you actually are has nothing to do with their perception. There's stories of Mexicans and Indians after 9/11 getting killed because some idiot thought they looked like Arabs.

I've been referring to sexual predation as pulling a Gaetz for a while now.

Better is subjective.

Simpler in a more streamlined sense, yes. Plex is more hands-off, and is doing a lot behind the scenes to automatically configure itself to your hardware for the best transcoding experience and such.

Jellyfin needs a little more work but can get there, it just needs to be shown the hardware and be configured correctly, but I find Jellyfin to be simpler and less cluttered overall when properly finished, with less strings attached to a parent company.

My headcanon:

Leftist: One who supports the general ideas of the Democratic party and supports the people at the head and their usual goings-on, voted Harris, enjoy the color blue.

Liberal: A Leftist, but they don't think their party speaks for them enough, or aren't extreme enough on certain issues they don't think are represented enough, so they think the party has abandoned or doesn't speak for them. These can be anyone from lgbtq+ activists to worker unions to Bernie Sanders. The idea that the left has left you, or whatever you stand for, and you are the liberal left.

Liberal(2nd definition): Someone who's into traditionalist communist ideals, Lemmy calls them "tankies". These tend to... not be what most people are talking about when they say liberal, despite arguments to the contrary.

Correct me if I'm wrong, this is in the context of the USA.

I'd like to start out by saying I'm not an Audiophile, but I do have a few methods of getting 80% of the way there. I have some FLAC, I have a pair of open Audio Technicas I use for gaming, an old pair of Sony MDR's, and an H2 I can use as a DAC. I've also tried a pair of Grado sr80s and I've tried portapros and owned HD555's for like a decade.

Cheap stuff in the Audiophile realm, but hey, it works.

These things are mid-treble heavy, with punchy bass, detailed as hell instrumentation, but feel like a rather small, enclosed space. They are in no way echoey. If I could compare them to anything, they're like an IEM pair of Grados with more detail and less shrillness. Fantastic for Jazz, Metal, Hard Rock, anything with a good boom and some highs to send it with. Early Mastodon riffage is goooOOOOoood.

I put some Floyd through them and I felt like I had a very pleasant experience. Every instrument stood out in its own space. I put my DAC to them and quickly found out I didn't really have to, but it did bring up some of the lower bass for better or worse.

Should you buy them? I'm not entirely sure. They were $35. I'm sure something... $70 might knock the pants off of these, and some might say "Well it already stands with $70 offerings". It may, I don't deny that Sennheiser iems probably aren't good. The trick is figuring out which of the few million Chinese ones are just as decent. Threading the needle with Ai Amazon reviews and Audiophile influencers gives you a weird mix of truth and lies and you kinda have to sort it out for yourself.

But, if this brand pulls this off at $35, imagine $70, and that's where I'm aiming next. These will become my new Steam Deck earbuds, but for now, they're great for FLAC and enjoying my music. They're quite fun sounding iems. Put some riffs through them and ride the rollercoaster.

 
 

One day, I tossed some MAXIMUM THE HORMONE, all caps because it's... how it is, into my Music folder, which just happened to have the Japanese text identifying the band.

Well Jellyfin took it in and labeled it as it does with the Japanese text. I changed it to MTH, thinking the albums would follow suit and... Albums gone.

I head back to the home screen, the albums are there, attributed to the Japanese name. I check the band name, listed under the japanese name, and there's no albums.

Then I moved everything, deleted all of the content from Jellyfin, changed the names to the English names BEFORE importing, imported it again, aaaaaaand, Japanese text.

Do I have to dive into the metadata directly?

 

Miss Nessa is/was/occasionally semi-feral, and still has signs of it. She will not lay on a human. She'll walk over you, let you pick her up, let you pet her, but she hard-bites and has zero differentiation between play and ripping to bits. It also isn't easy to read her cues unless you're with her for a while or know her already. So, I take care of her since she can't really be around kids or the elderly, and as long as you remember her rules and keep your eye on her when petting her, she's fine, loving and chill.
