  • Been self hosting my own content since Netflix removed King of the Hill. Cancelled my sub immediately.

    For the most part I was doing everything manually with a seedbox, SFTP, and then renaming things.

    Just scrapped that setup and did a docker environment with gluetun, qbit, and some *arr apps. Pretty good so far, some annoyances, but was a bit easier than I expected.


  • Oh let me clarify a bit more…

    I do believe all of these digital unboxing of items, where you don’t know what you’re gonna get, is all gambling and should be banned, straight up.

    I just think the way the NYAG is trying to attack this is completely asinine and might make them lose the case more than help it. And if what Valve is saying is true(NYAG wanting them to collect all kinds of data from everyone) then frankly I hope the NYAG loses this if that’s the “solution” NYAG wants.

    I think the solution should be to just ban all this crap.











  • I grew up playing Gen 1-4 as they came out. But I think Gen 3/Emerald is my favorite and honestly I think it’s where Pokemon peaked. I loved Gen 4, but that and the later gens never “clicked” with me.

    Anyways, if anyone is looking for a replay of Emerald I would highly recommend the ROM hack “Modern Emerald”. It’s Emerald with Gen 1-3 Pokemon all being available(with like 5 Pokemon from Gen8&9) and some QOL updates and other content stuff. It’s probably the best Gen 3 experience out there at the moment(well from a vanilla perspective).

    Or if you want a twist, Pokemon Emerald Rogue is another great hack for Gen 3 that makes the game into a Rogue lite genre game.

    And a shout-out to PokeMMO if anyone wants a MMO experience.

    My kids are still a bit young…but my oldest is about to turn two years old and I bought them a Anbernic RG35XXSP and I’m going to put Pokemon Red or Blue or Yellow on it and have them play. I remember playing Pokemon Blue at 3 years old on my Gameboy Color and I genuinely believe it helped me with reading comprehension before I started school.


  • Personally I hope no one buys this “console”. There’s been way too many rumors and general discussions that this will be the “last Xbox” and Microsoft has already lost the “first party” game front.

    There is zero reason to buy Xbox at this point. Game Pass is stupidly expensive(and you can’t even buy Gold separately anymore). This new “console” is supposed to be stupidly expensive as well.

    I would hope this would force people to just switch to PC, but the hard heads will buy Xbox and the noobs will buy PlayStation.

    I loved my original Xbox and the 360, but Microsoft has been on a steep decline since. The writing’s been on the wall for a long time.
