It's subjective. Easy builds can be super fun. Especially if you earned it by getting some gear. It's also an accessibility issue. Not everyone is 25 years old with lightning reflexes (or, conversely, not everyone has 20 years of history with the genre).

Anyway, my point was only that if you're bored with being OP, try something different. If you think you're invincible but killing things is a slog, maybe shift your gear to be more offensive etc. The way these games work, difficulty is entirely up to you.

I enjoyed D3 and D4, I think they both do difficulty well (at this point, D3 was stupid at launch). In both there are now hundreds of fine grained tiers you can shift up or down to find the right difficulty for your gear/build/skill.

That said, holding down a button to win is more of a build issue unless you're running embarrassingly low difficulty. There will always be easy builds and more challenging, technical, timing based builds. Finding a fun build is part of the fun of ARPGs.

So it's not fully self hosted then? I can't see how it would do that without registering you with their own service as a middle man. Seems like that kinda defeats the purpose.

Sorry, why would Jellyfin be different from Plex for exposing to the Internet? Dynamic DNS service / static IP and router port forwarding just like any other self hosted thing. It requires a user/pass to login as usual. VPN is nice but not required.

Bakula just hit the Archer casting too perfectly. The man just exudes boy scout, it's what made Quantum Leap work too.

As if the Democrats would do a damn thing. They had four fucking years to put nails in Trump's coffin and couldn't do anything for fear of their corporate masters being denied the same grifts.

Hear hear. This has Ankh Morpork written all over it.

As the old saying goes: soap box, ballot box, ammo box in that order.

I agree that a primary probably still ends up with Kamala and would probably just be the illusion of choice. The DNC would close ranks around her in the name of Biden's legacy, just like they did for Biden back in 2020 when the vote was splitting in Bernie's favor, and in 2016 when it was obvious they just wanted to coronate Hillary and move on.

That said, even with a rigged primary, putting your candidate on the debate stage to address your constituents instead of skipping directly to fellating non-existent centrists in the general would have been good.

Cheers to that, fellow Texas drunk

Texas is incredibly resource rich, even if the people who live here are generally fuck faces.

Child abuse is still illegal here regardless of corporal punishment. You can get CPS called on you for a lot of things that aren't physical abuse too.

But of course I'm sure it being illegal in Europe means it's totally non-existent. If there's one thing kids are known for it's having enough awareness to self report their parents bad behavior behind closed doors, right?
