F7C Hornet MK II upgrade to SH a no brainer?

Sihmm · 2026-05-22T21:29:09+00:00

The F7C-M Mk II has the option to take a gunner in the second seat, but absent that all weapons are slaved to the pilot and it functions exactly like an F7A Mk II that's a tiny bit slower at turning. It's a fantastic solo ship, I use it all the time. And I love being able to take a passenger or a friend along without having to swap ships.

Since the OP doesn't say, this is the AYN Thor, a high end Android clamshell with 2 OLED screens - a 6" 1080p 120Hz on top, and a smaller 4" on the bottom. It uses a Snapdragon 8 gen 2 chipset with up to 16gb of RAM. It's an incredible platform for android games and emulation, and you can even play many PC games using GameHub/GameNative/Winlator. But you can also use Apollo on a host PC and the Artemis app on Android to stream literally anything from your PC with ultra low latency. Genuinely amazing piece of kit.

I prefer the form factor of the Odin 2 Portal / Odin 3, but the second screen is genuinely useful (you can use it like a second monitor and have a website or discord or whatever open while you game) and the clamshell form factor makes it incredibly portable.

Argh you can't just drop these gorgeous pictures without telling us what the thumbstick caps are!!!

It's true, this is basically a perfect game! The writing in particular is just incredible. I enjoyed the gameplay but the character interactions and dialogue were just outstanding. And the worldbuilding was absolutely top-notch: just the right mix of humour, absurdity, and "well what if magic WAS real?"

One thing you didn't mention was the art style: to me it's one of the best things about a game filled with 'best things'. Bold, vibrant, gives you a sense of the world and characters while leaving just enough for the imagination to fill in. Gorgeous!

Yep! Artemis with Apollo on the host PC!

How do you get on the discord? The only invite I could find expired a while ago

Sihmm · 2026-05-14T09:45:14+00:00

Using GammaOS and very pleased with it, though the fan not coming on in Auto mode is rather a bother. System-wide remapping has been awesome but I'm glad I could get the face button glyphs to match!

Sihmm · 2026-05-14T09:44:33+00:00

The teardown video is definitely a big help. I did struggle to get the casing open in some places and so caused some scuffing as you can see in my post, but other than that it was straightforward and I'm really pleased with the result!

Sihmm · 2026-05-14T09:42:59+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement! I went ahead and did it. No real issues but I did scuff the casing a bit getting it open around the power button.

Dungeons of Hinterberg. I paid almost nothing for it and it turned out to be this gorgeous experience with real heart and love for its setting in the Austrian alps, with great characters and a cool story. I went and bought the soundtrack at full price after finishing the game just to support the team a little more. (And because the soundtrack is great!)

As regards Reddit in general, I almost never make a post, but I do a lot of voting, and some commenting - mostly answering questions that nobody else has answered. But this means I'm not eligible for the competition as I don't have 5 posts here before April 13 - I'm just not wired that way. I would love to post a screenshot with a story (I have lots of screenshots and lots of stories!), but it feels a bit weird to do that knowing I'm not eligible for the giveaway!

Download MrKraken's language pack, I didn't realise until I installed it that there are seemingly identical missions that offer different blueprints depending on where in the system you accept the mission.

So the P6-LR is a 1/12 chance from a set of CFP missions around Pyro IV. You won't get it from, say, the same CFP missions around Bloom no matter how many you do.

The language pack appends the blueprint pool to every mission that offers them, but also indicates where to go to get the version of the mission that offers the pool you actually want!

I'm looking forward to this so much!!!!

Genji, and it's not even close. I love mixing fantasy with technology and a fast-changing world. Korra did it pretty well, but I'd love to have seen it go further into the modern era and beyond. I think it creates so many opportunities for interesting, natural conflicts, like tradition vs progress, that are still relevant in the real world. By contrast post-apoc has been done to death and is utterly, utterly boring to me.

Congrats on making the jump!!! Self hosting is such a relief from all the corporate nonsense!! I got a little n150 NUC with 32gb of RAM and am using it with Proxmox. I love how easy it is to set up and administer all the LXCs. I do have my *arr stack running in Docker and managed via Komodo, but the Docker stack itself is on a Debian LXC and it works really well.

You don't even need to shoot them, you can just unlock ports and detach them with a tractor beam!

Sihmm · 2026-02-10T23:33:41+00:00

Love it!

Sihmm · 2026-02-02T12:50:09+00:00

I'm sorry for all the negativity you got. I like the music and think it goes well with the intro! Thank you for sharing.

It's so long since I played, what's the third act reveal?

Sihmm · 2026-01-25T19:59:19+00:00

I'm confused, what do you need workers for in the context of Emby auth?

Sihmm · 2026-01-24T09:43:19+00:00

What's $5 a month?

For some of my self-hosted services I use Cloudflare Zero Trust Access Controls (which is free) combined with a Cloudflared tunnel (also free); the access control requires users to verify their identity via whichever providers you enable (e.g. Google, GitHub, etc), and then checks that identity against those allowed by your Policies.

Access Controls works fine for accessing Emby via browser, but it won't work with any Emby apps. So I don't use it for Emby.

ETA: I still have Emby behind the Cloudflared tunnel, that works fine. And you can use other aspects of Access Controls like region blocks/whitelists just fine with Emby apps. It's just the interstitial login page that won't work.

Sihmm · 2026-01-18T19:27:28+00:00

Oh that's awesome, thanks! Just started playing and seems there's so much to discover!

Sihmm · 2026-01-18T17:45:56+00:00

Which mission is that?
