  • On Reddit way back when, I joined a trek sub as I’ve wanted to get into Star Trek but found the 90s shows too dry (early 2000s video games however, 👌). Posted about how I was really enjoying Picard and got RIPPED to shreds in the comments. No actual death threats but a bunch of people called me intellectually challenged and one combed through my post history to point out why exactly I was so cognitively bankrupt haha







  • Oh boyo! You can have literally everything automated. All you’d need to do is search a movie or show and click request and then bam it will appear on plex.

    How?

    Arr stack (as everyone is commenting here with)

    Prowlarr (to pick your torrent indexers), sonarr (for shows), radarr (for movies) and overseerr for requests (this one’s optional but it’s so nice).

    Add API codes from your sonarr and your radarr into prowlarr (and overseerr if you go with it) and add your qbittorrent web ui server to all of them.

    I port forwarded overseerr so that it can be accessible by web and made a web app to it on my wife’s phone. Now while she’s bored at work she can scroll through recent releases on all streaming sites in overseerr and pick what she likes and click “request”. The requests get automatically approved and my prowlarr starts searching and sends the download to sonarr or radarr, which automatically moves everything into their right folders into my plex library.

    I come home and open plex and bam my new releases are there, ready to be watched.




  • I also recommend IKEA Tradfri bulbs. Almost as good as Phillips hue except that they don’t fade as smoothly. I’ve only had a couple issues in like 5 years with them and they were fixed by just resetting the bulbs and re-pairing them to the hue hub. The ol turn it on and off 5 times fast until they start pulsing.




  • I agree with you. The pace of crafting to progress is slow. The story forces you to uncover it by exploring further and deeper. The distress calls nudge you in the right directions.

    My last playthrough I was determined to beat the game. It took 50 hours and at the end I got frustrated because just when I thought I was at the end, they wanted me to grind even more for some hard to craft materials which would require me to dive far and deep and look for things while things were dangerous.

    Exhausted, I used a single console command to give myself the thing I didn’t want to grind for and bam. Completed. The games a marathon. It’s entertaining, scary, interesting, and tedious. I’m not interested in any sequels.
