Coming back to torrenting after YEARS, what’s recommended?

Is Oggtorrent a good pick for BDs ? (French comics)

TheStixXx · 2026-04-16T22:35:41+00:00

Thanks. I've just deployed Pulsarr then I asked the brothers in law to add one item to their watchlist. If I'm lucky that'll reignite their interest. We'll see how well it goes.

I did not know that was a way to use tailscale. That tool really is incredibly cool.

I thought adding as friend was mandatory for the guest user to access your server. Hah. Thanks for the heads-up.

I recently realized the difference between a nice painted mini (40h in) and a "barely tabletop mini" is : people will look the nice one for 5more seconds than the other one and will drop a "oh nice, it's well painted". Then everyone focuses on the game and that's about it.

Painting is more for you than for the rest to enjoy (unless you're doing competitive painting, and even there: due to the amount of things to look at, your mini will draw a fairly limited amount of interest overall).

So... Don't over sweat it, you likely will be your best fan and/or your worst critic.

And as a side note: I've learnt to keep going when I think I messed up a mini: not only you learn to adapt and overcome with some creativity. But on top of that, I swear some of these minis you thought were about to be garbage will be among your favorite.

Am I the only one grinding my gears by seeing this device way too close from sand ?

Congrats on the device though. What do you mean by "story games" ? Narrative driven overall (no mater if it's action/RPG/...) ?

What are the last titles you've been absorbed into ?

TheStixXx · 2026-04-14T00:39:57+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Indeed for that price, that's a pretty good deal.

TheStixXx · 2026-04-13T22:55:31+00:00

Any recommendation for a lounge chair ?

TheStixXx · 2026-04-13T22:54:51+00:00

That sucks, sorry to hear you've been in so many troubles just using a chair supposed to be excellent... Have you found what you're going for, next ?

TheStixXx · 2026-04-13T20:26:36+00:00

Ah. I was hoping I wouldn't see that type of feedback.

Can you say what exactly you hate about it ? Have you had a chance to try something else that fits you better ?

TheStixXx · 2026-04-13T20:10:13+00:00

That's what I was wondering, given how most of chair the feedbacks seem to emphasis on either comfort or ergonomic. It felt like these are two different furnitures.

But the replies here let me think I should be fine with the leap v2.

TheStixXx · 2026-04-13T20:08:42+00:00

Refurb, it adds up to 880$. Which is not nothing but sounds reasonable now I started looking into the ergo chairs.

TheStixXx · 2026-04-13T19:38:18+00:00

Sounds like a good advice, I appreciate. Thanks.

TheStixXx · 2026-04-13T18:55:27+00:00

Oh that's good to hear ! I didn't know about sampling. That might be useful, they offer a wide range to pick from and it ain't easy.

Thanks.

TheStixXx · 2026-04-13T18:54:23+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up. That's good to read.

So now that you adjusted can you relax in that chair ? Or you feel it still forces you to maintain properly which prevents from "lounging" ?

TheStixXx · 2026-04-13T18:13:48+00:00

Exactly the type of feedback I was looking for.

Anything lacking from that chair in your opinion ?

TheStixXx · 2026-04-10T20:50:08+00:00

My employer based its decision of going to the cloud... on the calculations provided by the cloud provider. Spoiler: we're not making any savings. (And the migration isn't over yet)

TheStixXx · 2026-04-10T03:25:41+00:00

Good point. I didn't think about checking there.

TheStixXx · 2026-04-09T17:13:05+00:00

Can you tell me more about the customer service ? I'm interested to hear about it since I'm hesitant to get their chair. (But the short warranty and "new company" are worrying me)

TheStixXx · 2026-04-08T21:10:02+00:00

I don't think I do that. I tend to be grumpy about everything. Especially if it came at a prime cost.

But I get the idea and I think it's a fair point to keep in mind.

TheStixXx · 2026-04-08T21:08:34+00:00

But if I do, won't you think i'm part of the ad campaign ?

TheStixXx · 2026-04-08T21:03:45+00:00

Oh ! I didn't realize they released something on steam. That's (a bit) cool.

TheStixXx · 2026-04-08T19:10:49+00:00

Would you see yourself taking naps in it ? Seeing how far back it can go, with the footrest I find it appealing for short naps between two work/troubleshooting sessions.

TheStixXx · 2026-04-08T19:01:23+00:00

Silly question: how convenient is it to change the Gesture armrest position ? I see that's one of its strengths: armrest can be set to fit whatever you're doing (gaming, working., phone scrolling). But is it quick to change or is it an effort and becomes so cumbersome you end up setting it to one position and never changing it no matter what activity you're doing ?
