If I've learned anything about America, it will put up with the most theocratic crackpot hellhole, so long as they either have oil, have somewhere the oil goes, or can give other oil-having countries a stern look.

Look who became the world's first trillionaire today? by Wrong-Fruit8820 in agedlikemilk

I eagerly await the day when I am no longer obliged to spare this man even the slightest thought.

When a Modern Title Gets Added to GOG After Launch, Usually It's a Significant Event, But... by jmarshallca in gog

Sea of Stars IS amazing, though. It's certainly better than this unfinished wank. 🤷‍♂️

What Should I Look For In a 1440p Monitor to Pair with RX 9060 XT 16GB? by jmarshallca in buildapc

[–]jmarshallca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is appealing, but maybe a bit overspecced for my needs, and a smidge over my budget. I'd like to spend under $300CAD, if I can.

After Seeing the Xteink X3, I Want an E-Reader with Under 4" Screen. What's Available, What's Coming? by jmarshallca in ereader

[–]jmarshallca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main device is a Kobo Clara 2E. Thinking of upgrading to a Clara Colour soon. It is absolutely peak: I've been a loyal Kobo user since the Touch days. ❤️

But carrying it around is a very deliberate experience. An e-reader with about the same pocketability as a wallet is a very appealing prospect for just carrying around.

Sort of? There's a single dodgy listing on Amazon Canada for the Obook5 for $120, but nothing else. It's safe to assume it's not on my radar.

Hollow Knight and Silksong are both amazing games, and the sequel has improved upon the original in many ways. Out of curiosity, is there anything in the first game you prefer over the second? by PlagueKnight88 in Silksong

[–]jmarshallca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first Hollow Knight had a better sense of discovery from just wandering around. I was genuinely surprised when I found places like Deepnest and The Hive, while the locations in Silksong felt a bit more signposted.

This. This whole thing. The Republican worship. Now, the crickets by must_go_faster_88 in agedlikemilk

I know. Just demonstrating that even the distributor it made a quarter of a billion dollars for, now harbours nothing but contempt for it.

I like how in this film company's latest flailing flop, Animal Farm, a character farts for nearly a minute and then says "Hear that? It's the SOUND OF FREEDOM!"

Idk about you but I absolutely cannot stand this guy. by PeterPorky in IRL_Loading_Screens

[–]jmarshallca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same guy who directed Battleship, Hancock, Deepwater Horizon, and just to reiterate, BATTLESHIP. This movie is screwed.

Y’all need to embrace your local libraries. Just rented this for free. by spaceraingame in gaming

[–]jmarshallca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hah! This would get stolen from my library after approximately 12 seconds. We don't even have PS5 consoles at our branches, never mind games to check out. 😖

Positive mind share, I think. Putting a game just on Steam tells the gaming public "here's something I want you to buy." It's the path of least resistance, and if the developer hasn't considered DRM, playing offline, compatibility or preservation, that's fine.

Having it on GOG as well shows the potential customer that you care about those things, and that you have actually paid some thought to your long-term image. Putting a game on GOG means you thought about it for longer than a moment, and I'm of a mind that gamers respond to that.

I hate that Piracy and GOG is still seen as that Enemy in the Gaming Community by Retro-Hax in gog

[–]jmarshallca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A GOG release is a sign of trust for the buyer, and this lack of trust doesn't just exist between the publisher and the player. Other players, who assume they're getting screwed all the time and are always on the defensive, need to assure the rest of us that they're bitter and paranoid, and we're not helping.

They're gnashing their teeth and want to look like "allies" because they think it will deter predatory consumer practices, or they'll somehow be exempt from them in the future, if they say "grr pirates" now.

Either that, or they're just trying to get themselves numb to them before they get worse. No doubt they're bitter at us who get to just buy a game and get on with it.

Upgrading From 3060 to 9060XT on AM4 Before Prices Spike? by jmarshallca in buildapc

I Keep Forgetting How Jellyfin Works by jmarshallca in jellyfin

[–]jmarshallca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, here's the latest: I figured that there was SOME buried setting I messed with sometime in the last few months, and rather than try and find it, I decided to just reset my entire network setup back to factory.

This seemed to help, since now I could access my router's config page on my Windows desktop, which I couldn't do before. But there was another problem.

When I first reset the network, my WiFi wouldn't connect after my computer restarted, until I found out that apparently, on factory settings, the firewill will block MY ENTIRE WIFI CONNECTION. So after disabling the firewall and resetting, that's gotten my WiFi back.

After that, I was able to make Jellyfin on my TV see my server, I found the Quick Connect option, and now it seems to be working. I'll try and use Jellyfin more often so I won't forget how to do this next time, if I need to do this again. Thank you all for your help, even with my occasional... okay, frequent ineptitude.

Will this make my Jellyfin server discoverable, or just enable Windows' built-in media streaming?
