A great product does not necessarily mean there is a winning formula though. We have a trash sequel when the new game does not do something that the existing game does. Even worse, the existing features are locked behind additional payment, so why would players not continue to play the existing game?

KSP 2 - Let's forget the technical disaster. A lot of features are missing at the start. You could argue that it's in early access, but why would I pay for a product that does less? Then we add in the many bugs and performance issues, and you know it's game over.

Cities Skylines 2 - Again, you can't do everything you already can in CS1. Plus, the first game is supported by a huge number of mods. There's really no reason to play the new title. Again, it does not perform any better.

This is a weird take but I think remake or remastered these days are more like sequels than sequels, just because they keep the story and mechanics.

I find that game developers or many businesses try to reinvent the wheel when there's no reason to. Say the Subnautica sequel, why waste money on voice over, add a land mass, cut the beloved submarine, shorten the story and overall map size, all that. I will never understand and sincerely hope the next Subnautica title does not reinvent the wheel.

Basically Tesla, oof

Seriously, don't buy the game at launch. Wait till the GOTY edition because many features that we had in the past will be packaged as expansions.

Omg, my previous company did the same. But you missed a part. If you accidentally left out a real email, thinking it's a scam, then the client will file a complaint.

Honestly, I do not plan to buy it after Below Zero. Now that they did all the evil stuff I guess my decision is well justified.

Clickers. I don't get it.

They sold it after achieving success.

My advice is to make sure you have plenty of RAM. You won't just install Plex. You probably want your NAS to download and manage the videos and all those applications take up extra RAM.

Agree. Definitely a wait and see game.

No need. Asian countries are not blocked from using Twitch. It's just Twitch won't have local business in Korea now.

Technically, you don't really need to touch those Arr applications once you set them up. As others have mentioned, Seerr (merged from Jellyseerr and Overseerr) is probably the only thing you use on daily basis.

You mentioned an app for remote streaming, I assume you know about Jellyfin already. If not, it's like Netflix but you watch your own videos.

Witcher 3 and Skyrim are pretty good. RDR2 is great, particularly because you can see it coming.

Perhaps the reason is more simple. When did we have a non-indie platformer title well received by the mass? I don't think people want a combo of "platformer" and "AAA" (hence the price).

You mentioned "plugged in my external HDD". I presume you are using a USB drive. When it connects to RPi, the contents are mounted somewhere which can be accessed by applications. This "somewhere" most likely got changed when you last unplugged and plugged it back.

Try to locate this mount folder (perhaps called "mnt") then see if you reference the same path inside Jellyfin.

Flox, MediaTracker and Movary. Didn't try any of those.

Not recently, but yes.

Also, there's regulation to disclose the probability in getting rewards from opening "chests", which is actually gambling in nature.

You mean you don't have family, friends, colleagues, school mates or anyone you know personally who would benefit from this giveaway, so that you have to resort to a stranger? A nephew or niece is the perfect recipient for such a gift.

Instead of hiring brave and smart people to be the police, it seems people who are not brave, and dumb, are hired so they have access to guns to protect themselves again whatever scares them, including innocent humans. Sad.

Just curious. Is piracy your strategy to kill the big companies, since you really want to consume their products but don't want to pay, because of your stated reasons?

For the sake of discussion, is it not possible for you to not buy products from big companies but also not consume their products?

Using myself as an example, I hate EA so much I don't install any of their products on my machine. Or I hate Adobe so I don't use it at home (the workplace is uncontrollable). I don't pirate their products as there are alternatives, and I cannot imagine how I may enjoy them since I cannot forget who made them.

Three options you could explore: Tube Archivist (with plugin), Pinchflat and Toothpick.

(No personal experience in using Toothpick)

Create a separate library for YouTube contents, then TA or PF will create different 'shows' inside it. The TA plugin or PF built-in option to generate NFO files will prepare all metadata necessary for Jellyfin import. To separate the channels, you simply set them up separately in TA or PF then they will show as different 'shows'. All these GUI applications are built on top of yt-dlp by the way.
