I really wanted to be in on it from the beginning to be along for the entire story as it develops, and ooh boy was that a mistake. Haven't played it since January and looking at the progress since then there isn't really much to draw me back in.
I’m using Geek, they’re pretty good so far. I’ve found everything I’ve searched for on them. I don’t even search trackers anymore, with how fast and efficient Usenet is compared to torrents.
Well the management are out of a job now, too. However in this case it’s the parent company that shut them down, because of the parent company’s financial troubles.
The other side of that coin is that employees can quit without notice.
Though really it’s not a balanced relationship. Businesses can absorb the loss of an employee much better than an individual can absorb the loss of a job.
The employees are still probably getting a layoff package, and they can file for unemployment, so it’s not like they’re out on the street, fortunately. We do have some protections in the US.
honestly i think they’re pretty equal, but if all the best surfers in the world are adamant that source is better, than i’ll listen to their opinion lol. CSGO has some great plugins that aren’t available on source, source is still the surf king though
They would be identical, assuming they are both actually modified to allow for the proper airspeed, since they are still both in the Source engine. You couldn’t surf in either with the default movement settings.
Lol, I forget that’s a thing. Tried it a couple of times but didn’t really get the appeal after a while. So random, you think Valve ever thought people would be playing CS:S like that 20 years later?
No worries! I’m a big fan of FROM and you are absolutely right, they just aren’t for everyone. I honestly wish more people would see that a game can be good but you don’t have to enjoy it. That’s me and a lot of strategy games like Crusader Kings.
That’s a shame that even a 30 year-old studio is just one commercial failure away from closure, even when part of a larger company. Then again, Volition’s output after Saints Row IV has been pretty middling… So it’s not that big of a surprise that they were on the chopping block.
Wow, and those aren’t unlistenable due to compression? Cool. Yeah I would have thought it was more like 1gb per 10 hours, but I guess it’s orders of magnitude less than that.
For real. I become a little bit of a snob when it comes to my audiobooks. I have a collection going of near 2000 and thats about 2TB of space. Now, I do try and get the “best” I can of what’s available, and, to be fair, 64kbps books are truly well and good. There are also ones that sound great and don’t pack a high bitrate, but once it hits the 32kbps that when its rare I’ll touch them unless the are the only copies I can find. Personally, I hate how much highly compressed books make the narrators sound. Just awful
That seems normal. The copy I have in an m4b ~530 MB (@63kbps). There are various tools like the one you mentioned and (github.com/VarSell/iAmDeaf) which I’m sure does the same thing. Unfortunately I am not too well versed in the actual ripping of content so i dont really know how people get the untouched “highest” bitrate content. But what you did appears to be wihtin the normal range, I would say.
I am not really part of the scene but am part of a community that shares the booty
Setting up a plex server takes less than 5 minutes and audiobooks are less than 100mb most of the time. So not really. Setting up audiobookshelf takes a bit more time if you don’t already have docker installed/setup on windows but even then. An hour maybe? At most?
Cool! Could you direct me to this five minute guide to setting up a Plex server? Also for these you’d need another computer that’s always on, right? If it’s off, you wouldn’t be able to access the server? Our family only uses laptops right now so that would be an issue.
I can write the 5 minute guide out for you in this comment. Im assuming windows. And yeah the machine has to be on. Although you could just run it off your main machine, especially if its just audiobooks.
Make a plex account Download and run the latest version of PMS (plex media server) and follow the gui to create your media folders
Now if you only want to access the media within your home, you’re done. Grab the apps for each device and be on your way. If you want to access out of your home theres one more step. Port forwarding. Thats done within your router and is different for each one but basically boils down to this.
Find setting. Create port forward entry for whichever ip is hosting plex. Port forward 32400 on tcp/udp Done.
Im explaining it in short bullet point lines because it should be that easy.
Yes. You need a PC that can act as a server (so run 24/7). If you want outside access you would also need a VPN or expose your services to the internet.
Eh, for me, it has story and apparently I can romance people and shoot stuff. So it’s already up there for me. But can totally see how people will feel different. Especially if you felt any hype for this. Me however has had no hype for Bethesda games after fallout 76
I’ve started using alldebrid. It technically is torrents but not using my home network so I don’t need a VPN anymore. I use RealDebrid Client with my alldebrid account and it works with all the *arr services. Most torrents I can download at my full ISP speed.
I know it’s not what your asking for but just throwing the idea out there.
Some of this will have some bias because of my own experience, but for me the best setup has been with:
Apple TV 4K - It has apps for both Steam Link and Moonlight, generally has low Bluetooth latency, and the wireless and wired network adapters are great at getting low latency.
if you’d rather avoid Apple, the Nvidia Shield is another good option, it supports those apps as well. I just personally found the experience smoother on ATV.
the chrome cast ultra can be a good first step. I just can’t remember how different the base model is. But try finding Moonlight app.
Regarding software, Steam Link is the easiest to set up because it is integrated with steam, but sometimes you get encoding artifacts, and you have less control over setting the best bitrate for your network. I do like the network connection graph it has in the configuration settings though.
So check out Sunshine to stream from your pc, supports AMD cards as well. And then the Moonlight app.
