I’m about 40 hours into Trails To Azure and it’s been a blast going through The Legend Of Heroes and the Trails series in order.

I think this is the case where certain people simply can’t see it here the difference.

I collect video game and movie soundtracks and the main difference I can hear between a 320kbps VS a FLAC that’s in the 1000kbps range is not straight up “clarity” in the sense that something like an instrument is “clearer” but rather the spacing and the ability to discern the difference where instruments come from is much better in a Hi-Res file with some decent wired headphones (my pair is $200). All this likey doesn’t matter much though when most users stream via Spotify which sounds worse than my 320kbps locally and people are using Bluetooth headphones at lower bitrates since they don’t have better codec compatibility like aptX and LDAC.

This is a great example of the rude way to use that phrase.

I have a Battle Tracks playlist of RPG battle music that really pumps me up!

“It’s my first rodeo.”

When I’m working, I listen to Lydian Collective and Tennyson (some of his tracks don’t have vocals). You might enjoy them as well!

For me it was Badminton. You can start off with cheap $15 rackets and plastic shuttlecocks. Now my racket is $260 and I play with feather shuttlecocks which are about $2 a piece and only last a few rallies.

I host my own private “Facebook” for my large family. The web app is called HumHub and it’s free to use (though some premium add-ons are paid).

I do whenever I’m indoors somewhere with a lot of people. Both my wife and I are immunocompromised. I hate being told the masks don’t work and I hate even more explaining that I’m immunocompromised. People just need to mind their own business.

Where do walk from/to? Is there a place you go to (like a large park) or do you just walk instead of drive?

The code I wrote from a few years ago.

When I first met my now wife, we just planned on dinner. My thought was if dinner went well, I’d ask her to go down the street to the local pool hall to continue the night. We ended up eating dinner for 4 hours and were the last to leave the restaurant.

I’m glad we never ended up at the pool hall because it turns out she hated that place lol.

But but but enemies go splat and colorful loot!!

I’m usually a lot of what others are posting. One of my favorites so far has been HumHub. It’s a social media platform that’s like an old-school Facebook before all the news and ads. Currently have about 20ish members and it made available just for my large extended family. A lot of us already left Facebook so it’s nice to have a similar set of features just for us without outside influences.

It’s called Vietnamese sweet/hot and sour soup or Canh Chua.

My wife is Vietnamese and there’s a hot and sour soup that contains both chunks of pineapple and tomato along with pieces of meat/seafood. Your dish isn’t all that crazy 😎!

Not the poster above or if I understand the difference between a VPS and an unmanaged VM, but I currently have 2 VMs running:

• Ethernet Servers OpenVZ $25/year for 1vCPU/100GB/3GB.
• Cloud Fanatics KVM $4.05/month for 2vCPU/60GB/2GB.

I’ve been tinkering and selfhosting a few applications and a subsonic music server. Works great!

Mind going into some details about what you’re selfhosting overall?

I was going to suggest FFVI as well! I would also suggest the Trails in the Sky series as the first 2 games focus on the female protagonists Estelle.

I don’t play games while my son is awake (ever) because why wouldn’t I want to spend time with him 🐥. I usually get to sneak in my hour or two while he’s asleep at night. My PC is in the den so I enjoy sitting next to him in bed while to play games for a bit.

I am looking forward to when he’s old enough to start with retro games like the original Mario Bros!
