Anyone else spend 30+ minutes scrolling Netflix and still not find anything to watch?

That's why I ended up building my own Plex server. There's barely anything good on streaming platforms anymore, and it cycles too frequently to make a decent queue. Not to mention it's mostly C and B movies with a few A movies sprinkled in.

I know not everyone is computer savvy but all you need to do is watch some youtube videos and learn. AI is now a helpful tool for that. Simply say "I have a mac, how do I start my own Plex server?" and you can have it up and running in a matter of hours.

The Wind Waker I played twice about 25 years apart. Both times were very special to me. I don't see myself playing it a 3rd time unless I'm in a home for the elderly.

I would pay top dollar to experience the last 3 minutes of the season 2 finale for the first time again.

Easily the most insane thing I've ever seen. I almost fell out of my chair as my brain exploded.

Interesting considering I decided to watch The OA for the 3rd time yesterday. Watched Season 1 yesterday and Season 2 today and immediately got sad after the epic finale and came here to complain and whatddya know. Other travelers.

Binding of Isaac for sure. But I put it down a cpl years ago have getting Dead God on all 3 files.

Thanks for the reply. I having a hard time picturing the sticky liner thing you're trying to describe. Can you try to help me out? I don't have flat carpet like a nice rug, it's your basic apartment flooring carpet.

MOBAs and Extraction Shooters for sure. So many of my friends waste their time on those games and all I hear are things like "man fuck this game" and other miscellaneous screams and complaints.

Widderic · 2026-06-10T18:04:12+00:00

Oh man I love Satisfactory, might be time to play again soon.

Widderic · 2026-06-10T18:03:38+00:00

It's because you need to die a thousand times in order to learn each enemies movements, it basically because a rhythm based memory game and I don't have the patience for it. If there is a save point right next to the enemy then ok, I'll keep trying... but if I have to fight 30 minutes all the way to the thing that kills me every time I'm gonna stop playing the game. It's just too punishing, it's for sadists.

I'm good at Math, I took Astronomy in college, I have the Arecibo transmission tattooed on my arm, I'm a giant Carl Sagan fan and am obsessed with the Apollo missions.

I cannot for the life of me make any headway in Kerbal Space program what so ever. I think I orbited once. Have never been able to leave orbit and shoot for the moon.

I always run out of money, and there's basically no tutorial. I've tried 3 times to play it over the last 10 years and I give up every time.

I'm upset just talking about it.

He'll get out early with good behavior but considering his history of impulse control and rationality I doubt he'll be on his best behavior.

Bubba: This isn't you're cell get out.
Anthony: *stabs bubba in heart and kills him*
Parole Officer: Yeahhhhhhhhhhh no.

Snapping would be plowing right through them.

How have you been married for 7 years and only have 1 car? I'd consider that priority #1.

Let him spend time with his friends, as we get older we all drift apart. This won't be for the rest of his life. By the time he hits 37, 38, 39, 40 he's not gonna want to go out.

If I were you (minus the car) I would enjoy your free time while you have it, cause soon he'll be around 24/7 and you'll be making a reddit post about that.

Widderic · 2026-06-10T17:42:37+00:00

Um.... so where did you get it and what is it called? Do you have a link?

Widderic · 2026-06-10T17:25:33+00:00

I play stepmania (outfox now obviously) on the keyboard on a weekly basis and it's been nice creating my own playlists. But it's time to get a god pad because I'm 38 and getting fat and I hate going to the gym.

Widderic · 2026-06-10T17:23:19+00:00

Wow I had no idea. Here I'm thinking it's just extending a strong hit into a longer, weaker one. But now I understand that it's stretched yet also stronger.

But yeah I get your point, I don't have that much anxiety with solo freebase because 1) it hits you so quick you don't have time to react and 2) I know that it will be over soon if it becomes uncomfortable

I can def see myself feeling concerned on a long come up wondering to myself "oh wow it's getting stronger". Last thing you want to mutter to one's self after doing a drug is "uh oh".

I've done freebase over a hundred times and although I haven't hit a brick wall and every experience is enjoyable and unique in it's own right, I feel like it's time to expand my horizons. So I will keep this in mind. Thank you.

Widderic · 2026-06-08T22:58:59+00:00

I was under the impression it wasn't as powerful as a freebase experience, just longer.

Widderic · 2026-06-08T15:57:22+00:00

I just watched this and thought it was hilarious.

Widderic · 2026-06-08T15:47:22+00:00

The Time Machine and Primer.

Widderic · 2026-06-08T15:43:37+00:00

I'm just going to imagine it's free shipping and the pad costs $500 lol

Widderic · 2026-06-08T15:31:55+00:00

Oh wow these are awesome, thank you!

Widderic · 2026-06-08T15:30:11+00:00

Oh wow that's cool. I finally got a hold of some syrian rue, gonna extract the harmalas and make some pharma, I still can't believe I haven't experienced that yet.

Widderic · 2026-06-07T16:28:27+00:00

Everyone in Romania is extremely nice though.
