LemmySoloHer: Across the Fediverse
I just did it and it worked! It’s definitely a jumble of music files but it’s all there, every last bit. Thank you, thank you so much. This has been weighing on my mind for so long, there are so many songs I can put back on my offline playlists now that I have them again. You’re the best!
I used Google Play Music for purchases/online music locker and loved it. I eventually became that idiot that never downloaded all their purchases before the switch to Youtube Music happened.
Now I can’t even open Youtube Music because it loads up my GPM library and rubs in my face that I essentially paid to have a bunch of music pre-listed for streaming that now has unskippable ads that I can’t listen to unless I leave my screen on and unlocked.
I was too broke and slammed to get a new external drive in order to get all my music downloaded and saved from GPM at the time of the switch, but I look back on it and think about how I could’ve skipped meals and stuff to have gotten something with just enough space to save that music.
I don’t know how, but I hope I die better than I’ve lived.

If you’re wondering who puts mayo on a hotdog, the answer is “probably one of your brothers,” according to Clint Barton.
I had this same thought when I started playing games again but found out what you mentioned, which is that the Intel integrated graphics processor was just not having it. I remember having the money back in 2013 to go dedicated but since I wasn’t gaming at that time I said “nah it’ll just distract me into wanting to play games again.” Five years later I get back into it with massive disappointment in my past decision.
I do only play for about an hour or two so I really like the free version of GeForce for helping limit it to that (or at least forcing me to take a break and get up and walk around every hour when I do swap out sleep for more playtime). There’s been a couple times I’ve thought about getting GamePass for a month and smashing through a couple games but I know I can’t trust myself to play that much right now and will end up just paying for another subscription service but not using it often like a schmuck.
But Alternate option B…my goodness have I been eyeing that Steam Deck. I usually try to save five or 10 bucks or so here and there to build up for “fun stuff” and I’ve wondered if I could build it up long enough for one. I think you’ve just inspired me to make that a goal, or at the very least cut that into two separate batches so I still can do fun stuff or buy a cheap game on sale every now and then while still building up a Steam Deck fund.
I’m on a 2013 Macbook Pro so it’s not just potato city but potato city in MacOS country. I run a decent amount of games but Firewatch was about the most it could handle and it wasn’t exactly a smooth experience. Even something as low-demanding as SOMA is all just stutters and choppy frames moving in slow motion at the lowest settings. Bootcamp was pretty much just taking up space because of that.
With GeForce Now I’m actually playing games I wouldn’t have even thought about otherwise (just got 100% on Jedi: Fallen Order the other week and it all looked and ran beautifully). For me it makes it so I can actually run the games, plus they actually look really good, plus it means I can play those “Windows only” games without having to take up space with bootcamp (which again, would struggle immensely with something like Sunset).
Obviously I’d love better hardware but being able to hop on GeForce for free for an hour to play a game I picked up for a few bucks is a much more reasonable option until I get a lot more money.
If they’d opt-in to GeForce Now I would buy this on Steam in an instant.
Whoa whoa whoa, the pilot episode for Olan Rogers’ new show is out?! Looking forward to watching this, thanks for the heads up!
Good use of natural framing, combined with rule of thirds and selective focus. It’s a good photo!
A lot of big names attached to working on this which is great, but I still hope some of the original writers can get on this. If no one else, I’d at least like to see Greg Weisman involved.
I know Greg’s working on the comics but ultimately I’d love to see him able to finish the original animated series too.
I just watched Totally Killer and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don’t think it hits any means of “greatness” but it’s a just a fun horror comedy that’s a mix of Back to the Future and 80s slasher films. Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Legend of Korra) is hilarious in it and Julie Bowen (Modern Family, Happy Gilmore) does fight choreography – it’s a great addition for anyone looking to add something new to their horror comedy watchlist.
Hereditary is a must-see if you haven’t already! It’s one of the big ones in the “elevated horror” subgenre that strays from traditional horror and leans into arthouse type stuff. Midsommar, The Lighthouse, The VVitch, It Follows, etc., cross into this subgenre. In that way it’s sort of defined like film noir where it’s almost more of a style instead of a subgenre, but can be considered both. It’s not for everyone but I really like the unsettling, creepiness of elevated horror as a nice contrast to the fun, in-your-face tropes of more traditional horror.
Just a clarification, Trigun Stampede is not a prequel but is an alternate universe re-imagining of the original.
When the producers approached the creator about doing something very different from the source material, the creator mentioned that the first anime adaptation was “really excellent”, and that “anything beyond the original anime is more of a bonus time, so you could pretty much do whatever you want to with it.” They liked the idea of how, for example, there are different versions of Spider-Man in the Spider-Verse (so that the 90s Spider-Man show, Ultimate Spider-Man, etc., would all be very different from each other). This is them doing that for Vash and company.
It’s very different in a lot of ways, you can think of it as an alternate universe from the original. I would strongly recommend first time viewers watch the original anime in its entirety first and then check out Stampede if they’re itching for more of that world in a very different flavor.
