Oh, God yes. And I do it on audiobooks no less. I was reading something a few months ago. “And she still had no idea who the spy was that one of her friends had been killed and replaced with master impersonator”. Wait… WTF? The chapter just started out that way. Well crap, chapter rewind. No I heard how that one starts out, tractor rewind again… No I heard that one too. I moved back through four chapters…nothing. I went and found the ePub downloaded it and text searched it. It happened like seven chapters ago in the middle of a chapter and I missed maybe 15 pages of content.
It also happens when I’m commuting now and then if I’m listening. I’ll realize that I’m not paying good attention and tap 30-second rewind half a dozen times. Listen to it all again and realize that I totally missed everything they said again even though I’m not doing anything else but driving. I just put some music on and go the hell home.
I have been playing a lot of BotW and DRG on it. Playing BotW on it is amazing, for DRG or mainly any shooter on it there is the problem of me not being used to aim with the gyro properly yet.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Minecraft and it’s open world base building goodness.
If you want “Minecraft, but more grown up,” I can’t recommend Vintage Story enough. It’s actually an offshoot of a survival modpack for Minecraft if I recall correctly. A more involved crafting system (i.e. knapping tool heads out of stone, casting and forging metal tools, etc) and a threatening winter make for a very fun survival game. Still in active development with a pretty good pace of new content regularly, and a lively mod scene.
I’m using a Ramnode VPS since I had some unused credit I wanted to use up. 2 vcpu, 1 GB ram, and 35 GB ssd.
Seems to be working well enough so far, but right now it’s just me. If I open up to more users, I might need to upgrade, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
Edit: I may have spoke too soon; had to reboot the server due to low memory. Hopefully a swap file will alleviate that a bit, but I might have to upgrade the RAM on this server. We’ll see.
Google Pixel 6. I upgraded from an iPhone 8 a year ago. I love how open the os is, letting me do a bunch more then what’s on the app store.
For headphones I have Soundcore Q30. They’re decent Bluetooth headphones, that were pretty cheap when I bought them.
I use Windows with WSL. I tried switching to Linux for over a month, but I had too many issues with Windows only apps.
I also love usb-c. Almost all my devices can charge using the same cords. The only exceptions are my laptop with a 200W brick, and my diabetes pump. Nothing I can do about those.
Welcome back, Tenno. So, I’m sure people have made step by step guides, but the reality is that you’re going to want to dip your toe into everything you can that interests you. Even some stuff that doesn’t interest you.
The most bog standard, but not incorrect, “new player mid term goal” is “Complete the Star Chart”. It’s something you’ll hear people say all the time, but it’s for a good reason. They made it such that you HAVE to do main story quests to progress through the planets now, and you’ll by nature learn what every new mission type is, start farming some new gear, dip your toe into every one of the bounty zones. By the time you finish it you’ll have a good overview of what the game has to offer, as well as unlocking almost all the alternate game modes, including Arbitrations and Steel Path.
I’d recommend building everything you can along the way, every weapon and every warframe, companions, etc. Just getting a lot of that grunt work done so you can cash in on the mastery rank is nice. MR doesn’t equate to skill or proficiency at the game, but until MR16 some content will straight up be locked out which isn’t a system I agree with but it’s the way it works.
To address a few of the things you asked about specifically; Railjack is mostly a content island, you need it for some quests but it’s its own thing. Archwing missions are kind of dead old content, but having access to the Itzal and Amesha archwings themselves are nice because they can be used in other content.
Void Keys don’t exist anymore, and have been replaced with Void Relics, which is how you get prime parts to sell for platinum or build to get access to weapons and warframes. It’s not my favorite system because it reduces all primes to the same one kind of farm, but it does keep it a lively and healthy community so farming those missions is never hard to do.
Tenno Powers aka Focus Schools will be something you largely do passively these days. They’re incredibly powerful and useful now post focus 3.0, which while I have my problems with it I think it was overall a healthy change. Certain new enemy types will just give you sizable chunks of Focus when you kill them, so you no longer have to do eidolon hunts to make any real progress. Zenurik used to be the old golden standard because it gave you access to energy regen and that’s not bad, but all of them are useful now. Madurai is my standard equip. You can get a good amount of focus just by playing the Zariman missions, but you get a ton from Duviri as well.
PvP is mostly dead, and Rivens are kind of a mess. Rivens can help certain specific weapons, in certain specific contexts, enable builds that wouldn’t otherwise be possible, but in terms of rivens for just raw power increase at what the weapon already does they’re kind of irrelevant and not something you need to worry about.
currently just running a monero miner as I have not been playing minecraft recently.
Hardware: Main server Ryzen 7 3900XT with 64GB of ram, two 240GB ssds running in raid1, two 4tb hard drives running in raid1, running proxmox with mostly alpine linux VMs
Secondary Server: Intel nuc running alpinelinux, only running secondary unbound/dnsmasq server so if my main server goes down, dns still works.
Late 2013 iMac: I was using it to run an iMessage to matrix bridge but I was not able to get it to work so now I just vnc into it to text. (suggestions welcome as vnc is annoying)
I also have another intel nuc that does not do anything.
All of these servers are connected to an APC back-ups UPS.
I changed some stuff on the Lemmy-Ansible documentation for clarity, but I’m garbage at coding anything useful. Getting my head around rust or typescript is a real challenge from square zero.
Always looking for more, but so far it’s pretty minimal.
Pi.hole with Gravity Sync
openhabian for smarthome hub
Looking to add Jellyfin and a sonarr radarr setup, but my QNAP doesn’t like doing actual work so I’ve been struggling. Planning to add a mini PC soon as a more stable server and to centralize things a bit.
I have a shared linux host account (and I occasionally help the admin with some installation stuff)
I currently host a few PHP sites on it like Dokuwiki, a few feedback forms, a mail image bug tester, piwik and a few others
Also I host a gemini server for my own site and a gemini chat server that I actually wrote myself in Java
a web2gemini gateway
a Misfin server (again wrote myself)
On a pubnix host I host a uptime kuma instance to check my main server
On a vps host I have an instance of Linkace that I wanted to try out but am not really using
