You know he saw that and probably thought how clever he was to point this out while posting it.

I am, but I am also in a tight spot since I have a kid who has 1 more year left until school starts and we can’t really afford daycare. This job has been nice since the work has also been much easier compared to 5 years ago. After that happens I am looking for something new immediately.

My job once gave us water coolers and coffee. At one point the coffee was a big all in one where you can make great drinks with it. Then they took it away because it cost to much. We then had kurigs. They then took away the pods because apparently we cant be trusted and people were stealing them. At least we could still bring ours in! Oh once they broke they refused to replace them so we had no more coffee. Then they took the water away as well once the company claimed it needed cutbacks because it is not doing well. Even the perks are all going away. I remember when I first started 20 years ago we got 2 holiday parties where the company rented a big venue and gave out 10, 15, 20 year anniversary gifts and bonuses and the other party was our department one. Those ended 10 years ago and not a word on anything ever coming back.
The only perk now is that they cutback so much they have no room for my department anymore and we became full remote a little over a year ago. Yay!

Wrong. Something about Mary taught us all that you need to clear the pipes right before the date.
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 1 week ago:
You need to set yourself up with radarr and sonarr. Get into torrents or usenet. And finally pick either plex, emby, or jellyfin. The movie one didnt exactly change my world since I had to pick the stuff, but shows one was crazy! Add the show and gets all existing stuff and will download the news ones when released. Its especially great the following year when you didnt even know it was coming back and boom you already have it. Bonus points, I use android app nzb360 on local network to connect to all those apps and it shows whats new so I can easily add stuff. I can even connect to my download app so it shows everything in 1 spot.
- Comment on 2025 Game Awards Results Discussion 1 week ago:
I don’t think I have ever watched the game awards, but I do look at the results and trailers the day after. I am glad Claire pulled through! I was following that game the year before it released and it looked incredible. For me it was a day one purchase and glad I was right! It was definitely an experience. It’s also the only game I have purchased this year outside of black friday where I used a gift card to buy 3 cheap games.
- Comment on 2025 Game Awards Results Discussion 1 week ago:
My biggest complaint is not that they sell you stuff, it’s that they price everything so dam high… like spending $20 in these games should get you something significant in my eyes, instead you barely get a 10 random pull where you probably end up with crap. Screw that… with that said if I do get into one I will normally throw the game like $20 total purchasing a few things if they feel worth it. I am currently playing Chaos Zero Nightmare and the prices are so bad I haven’t spent a dime and don’t think I will. Its a good game otherwise.

- Comment on Day 498 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
When i was looking into switching to linux I tried out a bunch of flavors through vm’s and I am glad I did because the one I thought I wanted ended up not even working through a vm and in the end I also loved CachyOS the most as well! This was earlier in the year and honestly I am still planning out how to rebuild my main pc. Im more afraid of spending an entire day formatting and rebuilding and not be in a position where it works well enough and be disappointed that I lost my setup that worked fine.

I never thought of it that way, but now I see why they push hard for auto pay. Thats dark.

I actually thought he did it so the family wouldnt lose anything. Since he never resigned wouldnt the family also have received benefits from his death. Maybe im wrong, but I felt like I read that a while back.

Quick question, can you buy a pc and run the same OS and version of steam that this pc they built uses? Im assuming its the same as steam deck. Just wondering if you could build it exactly the same outside just installing steam.

Man just think, when he was caught for that bj I can only imagine what his thoughts where. Like “I cant believe I gotta go through all of this, boy if they only knew about the other stuff I do from day to day.”
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 weeks ago:
Oh, I agree. My price is just speculation. Also, Xbox is done. They had a handful of exclusives this year that, as far as I saw, were nothing to sell systems over, and from the looks of it, only Fable is set for next year. As soon as I saw them jump ship with a console and finally share their best games like gears of war, I knew it would only be a matter of time.
That handheld is also windows only and to late to the party, and your right they just went full pc only at a price nobody will pay when you can probably get your own pc that will have little difference. They will be with Sega soon enough and probably use the companies they purchased to continue creating games for everyone else and maybe just focus on the windows store for semi exclusivity after the pc thing fizzles out.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 weeks ago:
On the one hand, i get it. It will be for enthusiasts only if that’s the case. On the other hand, I feel like for the amount of profit this company brings in, I am a little shocked that they don’t even try to cut the price back a bit to sell more. I guess whats the point when you don’t even have to do this at all and it sounds like the entire project is just a fun way to spend some time seeing what you can come up with and sharing that with the people that can afford to buy cool things.

- Comment on Our first look at the Steam Machine, Valve’s ambitious new game console 5 weeks ago:
It looks cool, but to me, if it’s not being offered for around $500, then it’s just a pc replacement in my eyes. From the questions he asked, it definitely seems like it’s going to cost more than $800.
Good timing though, get your system out first before the next generation starts releasing at the end of next year or 2027. From what I have seen, the first to release generally does the best.
My problem seems to be how much it talks about the ps5. It’s been 5 years, so of course, better hardware can fit into smaller space. My problem with that is generally any hardware that compacts it this much will run into heating issues a few years into owning it so I would absolutely prefer the bigger ps5 anyday which has shown no issues so far. Also, they were comparing it to the ps5 alot which is a 5 year old system. I would hope it does significantly better!
I also would like to know more about the OS. Is it just the steam deck OS slapped on this, or is it customized more? I would want/hope they deliver the things that a console offers and more that make it more convenient than just a PC.
Overall, I am interested in this, but if it really does costs as much as I think it will, I am not sure who this will ultimately be marketed to, and I could be wrong, but I doubt it will sell enough for them to say it was a success lets make more. They do have the money to throw at it though, so I guess that was enough for them to take a stab at it after the success of the steam deck.

As someone who never saw Instagram before yesterday, I was a little shocked at just how much crap was AI generated and just useless fake content. I kept hearing how bad AI was, but until I saw just how bad I really had no idea. I imagine reddit is getting closer to this exact model soon enough.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 1 month ago:
As someone who loves music and listens to it every chance I get, I honestly never got into using headphones and walking. It just doesn’t feel right to me. I am also very attentive to my surroundings, and if I feel like I don’t know what’s exactly going on, I really don’t like that feeling. It may also be a generational thing? Im in my 40s, and the headphone market was a bit different 20 years ago when I was younger, and none of that really appealed to me. I never even had an iPod, I owned a zune lol.

I have been self hosting since 2008. Went through around 7 different apps since then, and I am currently using Navidrome, which is a fork of Subsonic with the android phone app Symfonium. For a while there self hosting looked pretty bleak around 2020, but it seems to have found a resurgence which I love because the development has been big again leading to more modern looking players and a lot of great new functionality.
