u-2at Link ParentHere's a good insult to injury as well. Shortly after my last post, the emails from Red came through. I'll hop in Orpheus IRC this week and give it a shot.Here's a good insult to injury as well. Shortly after my last post, the emails from Red came through.

Gaming and window focus was a real issue. But it's definitely promising. It's a fairly easy transition from bspwm and my config is all in one folder, so it will be easy to go back someday.

So I went to the IRC to sort it out and holy shit did they interrogate me. After an hour of that, they denied me, lol. I have good standing on other private trackers, but that never came up. I feel bad I wasted that guy's invite, but man... That was a bit over the top. Hopefully Orpheus is a bit more mellow.

I'm over games that build around me being a beta tester where things constantly change retroactively or games that just never pan out, so it dies prematurely.

Granted, I don't think I could do it in a pizza oven because the temps are 700+, but now that I'm into this little hobby, I have all of the stuff to do that!That looks like something I should try.

I've been on it for about a decade now and a few times every year I always get that same itch to just try something else, but I always come back. It almost feels like an achievement to be truly happy with a setup.

The first couple pizzas were a little charred on the outer edges. I'll hopefully get a little more creative soon.
Just yesterday, someone posted this link here on tildes and I decided to really get after making the perfect (to my ability) dough. So I'll probably try and maintain the same general style of pizza to really compare the crust before I get creative. It's fun though.

I've never experienced a pizza oven before, so it was pure magic to me seeing a pizza cook in about 1 minute.
They are pricey, but when you have family over for dinner weekly and pizza is $50 to $80 delivered, it starts to pay for itself fairly quickly. With homemade dough and other ingredients, I'm looking at less than $10 for a stacked pizza.

It was hotly advertised in Australia that Game of Thrones was "next day" at the time. Still didn't help for spoilers popping up everywhere online.
If I get an invitation myself, I can pay it forward to you!
Ha, all good. I'd never say no, but definitely push it onto someone you know first. Just cool to see that stuff happen.

Like, I felt a slow decline in Netflix quality over time, personally, but I feel like Disney+ did a speed run on that. I toyed with cancelling my Netflix account for a bit before I did it. Disney+ didn't give me that struggle. Weird either way, it's not like I have to have someone come out and set up the service or anything.
Anonamouse is pretty good, that's my go to for books. I didn't know you could get into RED from there.
I'm not banking on it, but you know... Diversify. If I branch out enough, an opportunity might arise. Man, I see you got into PTP down below, so that's cool! The private tracker world works in mysterious ways.

I actually used to have access to a decent rage of legal movies/tv, but once everything forked out into its own individual service, it became harder to follow, a waste of money half the time and just draining to follow. Then after traveling abroad, there's TV shows that weren't available locally, so after that, I just went full automated high seas. Path of least resistance.
I've spent days in Red's invite IRC over time, but just never get the interview. Orpheus as well. I did get into ananamouse though. Although not music, it might lead down the path to Red someday.

I was with waffles, then what and finally notwhat and they all died one by one. I find it pretty hard to get good releases now.
