  • Well, I’ve tried it since this comment, and I’m using it occasionally (primarily because I like the Delfin app for Arch Linux), but there’s a lot of reasons I still prefer Plex. First and most importantly, I use PlexAMP as my primary music player and I have 1tb+ of music that I don’t feel like perfectly setting up again. It’s a huge amount of work, and I listen to a lot of lesser known shit that just isn’t easy to gather data for, and a lot of Various Artist shit that I’m really particular about how it shows up.

    The other big issue I have is that Collections is a separate tab in Movies, rather than being listed alongside the rest of my library like in Plex, and that’s really just not useful for me. It automatically populated my collections just fine, but if my primary Movies tab is just gonna list each individual movie and I have to actually go to the Collections tab to see collections, it’s just not how I like my library. If I can find a solution for this it’ll go a long way to pushing me toward JellyFin.







  • Haha Malk as a first run? That had to be a treat.

    It’s genuinely my favorite game of all time, I only found out about it this year and I’m on my fourth playthrough (only finished twice, abandoned my brujah and am saving it for later cuz I wanted to play Malkavian, now I’m on Nosferatu).

    If you like WOD lore on its own, check out Coteries of New York, Shadows of New York, and Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of The Forest. They’re incredible visual novels that I found captivating.

    Redemption is a mess, but great if you love WOD/VTM and can deal with Doom ripoffs from that era, but it’s genuinely frustrating to play a lot of the time. I admit I only love it because I’m a huge nerd more dedicated to the lore than I am interested in actual gameplay.

    Swansong is buggy and badly animated, but the story was very enjoyable for me, and I think a lot of the problems people have with it are more… Let’s say, things to complain about in a YouTube video, than issues actually worth being upset about as a fan.

    The rest are basically text adventure novels, they’re great but it’s ultimately just reading a book in which you make choices about the direction (which Coteries and Shadows also are, but accompanied by absolutely gorgeous artwork and dynamic backgrounds).

    Wraith: The Oblivion - Afterlife is incredible if you have VR 🤩





  • No doubt, most people would hate this and I understand why, but I for one am just not one of those people.

    I live in the northeast US and nothing depresses me like watching the days get longer as spring and summer approach. When winter comes, I sleep through all the daylight hours and only wake up once it’s dark, going to sleep as the sun comes up.

    If I’m ever crazy rich, my dream is the have two houses, on either side of the world, so I can live where it’s perpetually night for six months, and fly to the other house as soon as it starts to switch, so I can live in perpetual night.



  • Winning is good, right? Yeah, but not if it’s too easy

    That’s how you feel about it, though, not an objective thing everybody feels the same about. I absolutely cheat whenever I’m finding a game too difficult, and I assure you, I’m still enjoying the game. I don’t know what people get out of what I find to be the extremely infuriating act of repeatedly failing over and over until I finally get it right, but I have not ever felt the sense of accomplishment I’m told I should feel after finally beating something I struggled with. I feel angry and like I wasted a bunch of time when I could have been enjoying something more fun.

    I’m just trying to have a good time, not compete with myself or prove that I can learn just the right way and right time to hit certain button combos or whatever.
