    Been watching One Frame Man, though episode 9 was decent.

    I've also been watching Digimon Beatbreak though it hasn't really pulled me in. The plot seems to be a slow burn but a bit too slow for my liking.

    About two weeks ago I finished Digimon Story Time Stranger. It has some good parts, some weak parts and some bad parts. The story itself is pretty solid and the locations in the digital world are distinct, though the human world's locations are quite forgettable. The digimon themselves look great. A lot of quests don't have any voice acting, even some main story quests are completely silent which is bizarre. The game's side quests are quite weak, some are just "Go here and talk to a guy". I think the worst part of the game is its UI. For example the keybind for the full screen map is Right Shift. Renaming a digimon is a hassle. Using the digifarm is a hassle (You can improve a digimon's stats at the farm like its speed or defense), thankfully you're not forced to use it. I think all the interfaces for interacting with your digimon could have been streamlined into a single pane of glass. Also the game will censor the names you give to your digimon even though this is a single player game and the censoring is language specific.

    I've been watching One Frame Man (aka One Punch Man season 3) and Digimon Beatbreak. Digimon Beatbreak has been a bit of a slow burn so far but it's spent its time setting up characters and their relationships with each other. OPM S3 has been dreadful.

    An R510 was my first real server, I didn't know that its fans would run full bore so when I plugged it in it got real loud in my room. Thankfully no one was home, I had hearing protectors and I found the fix fairly quickly.

    I mute all those shitty subreddits. It does require that you actually go to the subreddit to mute it but whatever.

    I've been playing Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers. It's a player vs computer roguelike blackjack game. It's good but needs a bigger variety of opponents to fight. It's not the same as Balatro but if you like Balatro you'll probably like D&DG

    My dad and I made meatloaf and it was really good so we mixed the leftovers into some tomato sauce for spaghetti and it was good in that too.

    So by default sonarr, radarr, etc use sqlite for database stuff like storing TV show info, episode info and the like, sqlite is easy to set up and use because it runs within the program. This is fine but I had a lot of performance issues and radarr's sqlite database corrupted on me meaning it broke. The developers of these projects semi-recently added support for PostgreSQL which runs independently and is much faster and reliable.

    • Burnout Paradise (not remastered) runs great on the Steam Deck, the servers have been shutdown so you have to skip logging in every time but it's still a fun racing game.
    • Stardew Valley runs great but inventory related stuff is slower compared to using a mouse.
    • Backpack Heroes
    • Dicey Dungeons
    • Cassette Beasts - I had issues with the game's design but it runs great
    • Cat Quest - Runs great plays great
    • Cat Quest 2 - Runs great but not as good as CQ1, difficulty is inconsistent
    • Cave Crawler - Free to play so why not?
    • Dwarf Journey - A fairly simple action platformer roguelike
    • Enter the Gungeon - Bullet hell shooter
    • Holocure - Free to play reverse bullet hell shooter, play if you watch any of the Hololive VTubers
    • Mr. Shifty
    • Patrick's Parabox
    • Peglin
    • Potion Craft
    • Rain On Your Parade
    • Rimworld (I've only played this on desktop)
    • Roots of Pacha - Neolithic Stardew Valley but not as good
    • Sable - Feels more like a tech demo than a game, has a truly unique art style
    • Shadedown Hawaii
    • Slay The Spire - Well regarded but my brain is too smooth for me to be tactical
    • Streets of Rogue
    • Terraria - I didn't like the controls but maybe you'll fare better

    Pokemon Infinite fusion runs great but is a bit of a fiddle to install on the Steam Deck

    Yeah it's the same type of game. I'm not entirely sure why I think Slime 3K is better but four reasons is that in Vampire Survivor experience just lays on the floor and enemies spawn so quickly that you can't pick up that experience to progress while in Slime 3K you're given the XP automatically. Second more health drops that greatly increase survivability. Third better art style (in my opinion) and fourth I just don't like vampires and all that stuff
