Why? There's a bunch of different possibilities that can happen directly related to NG+. The game feels like it's meant to be played endlessly with it.

I'm doing my first playthrough on Explorer mode and I'm pretty OP. I am terrible at these games. Compared to DOS:2 the game is a breeze, truly. I could probably bump the difficulty up to Balanced mode and still be fine.

In other words, the combat is much more accessible than DOS:2 in my opinion.

Check out Kavita! It sounds perfect for what you're doing and I have had literally 0 issues using all of their built-in features. It's a surprisingly stable and full-fledged open-source product.

I would go back if it was easy. The speed difference from just getting a listing of contents in a large directory over SMB is insane. It used to be instant and it takes like 10-15 seconds now. I'm not even using their app setup anymore, I gave up on it after a while because of a bunch of random issues with updates over time and switched to a dedicated box with Portainer installed. I really wish I could go back to core.

I'm sure they'll iron everything out but BSD is still king at the moment.

Pop!_OS on my laptop for everything except gaming. Programming, media consumption, reading, etc. I am much more productive using their stupid simple tiling window manager.

On my servers/cloud VM's I run Ubuntu Server.

On my NAS I run TrueNAS Scale. To be completely honest I kind of regret "upgrading" from TrueNAS to TrueNAS Scale. It's less performant and the amount of issues I've had with their application setup made me completely abandon it and just run Docker on a separate computer, which defeated the entire purpose of installing Scale. I'm sure they'll iron everything out over time and it's not like the performance is horrendous, it's just incomparable to good ol' regular TrueNAS (based on BSD instead of Linux with great ZFS support).

My player (Roon) does not support ListenBrainz scrobbling and it's always really bothered me. I just set multi-scrobbler up and I'm so happy. Thanks for linking it!

OP, if you don't mind paying and self-hosting I highly recommend Roon / Roon ARC.

So if I'm on a self-hosted matrix server I could join rooms in any number of other matrix servers (just like joining communities across Lemmy instances)? That's a game-changer if that's the case. I have no idea how to do that within Element.

100% relate to this. Same thing in every game. Especially RDR2, literally no way I will ever make different choices through multiple playthroughs. Same with Witcher 3 and really any game with choices like that. I don't know of a mod that could help really.

The thing is, I don't really feel like I'm missing much by not doing a bad playthrough. If I really want to I can go watch a video or something. That's just me, though. In the end, I guess what I am saying is, there's nothing wrong with playing like this. Just play the way you want to. :)

Serious question, can you join multiple homeservers yet? Having an account tied to one server is a massive drawback compared to Discord. I tried Cinny earlier and currently use Element with my friends but I don't think that feature exists.

In the grand scheme of things this isn't a big deal. If you're not using some kind of RAID parity system I guess I wouldn't mind the notification. I think it is probably overkill, though. Just seems like they want everyone that's had a hard drive for three years to buy a new one. The fact that some drives that are still under warranty show the warning is sketchy.
