PS - here is a more ambient/psychedelic mix by him as well, if you ever trip I'd definitely save this one! :)

Comment on ‘The Simpsons,’ ‘Family Guy,’ ‘Bob’s Burgers’ renewed for four more seasons in ~tv
datavoid Link ParentBob's Burgers is definitely not in the same category as Family Guy. Family Guy tends to be offensive and edgy, and Bob's Burgers is heartwarming.Bob's Burgers is definitely not in the same category as Family Guy.

I also really, really hope they don't decide to change the ending. Actually on second thought I don't really care, as that would make the book's ending even more special.

I need to get motivated soon, I have so many books that I want to read and are ready to go. Sometimes I feel like university destroyed my ability to read for enjoyment - I know this isn't true as I've read at least one thing since then that I couldn't put down and really enjoyed.. but that was like 4 years ago now.
Maybe I just need to read easier books. A nice children's book perhaps.

datavoid Link ParentIt's been a while since I tried Jellyfin - how do they handle subtitles these days? That's probably my favourite Plex feature, being able to instantly find subtitles for most content.It's been a while since I tried Jellyfin - how do they handle subtitles these days?

Personally I feel like the final boss of Sekiro prepared me for anything, that fight took me like 2 weeks. I was not good at that game, was hands down the hardest thing I've beaten. Besides the last boss, I'd say that Lies of P was generally closer to Bloodborne in terms of difficulty.

I actually finished it this morning before work - it was way better than I was expecting, even after having played the first couple levels around a year ago.
It took me 40-50 hours, which is longer than any guide says it should (which is weird, because I only struggled on the final boss). I did search everything pretty thoroughly however, and did a "victory lap" through the whole game before the last boss to pick up anything I missed.
I'd probably give it an 8.5/10, and would definitely recommend it for any fans of Dark souls, Eldin ring, or Sekiro. I would not recommend paying $80 for it, however.

Once turned on / logged in on both PCs, they will behave as if on the same network, making any remote desktop program easy to set up - I just use Windows remote desktop connection for connecting to Windows from Windows. You can also configure Tailscale to let you use your home PC's Internet connection.
Assuming you have a static IP and can set up port forwarding on your router, you could just write down your IP and connect directly that way, however.
