It's like being a patient gamer! If you can wait long enough, you can get what you want at a cheaper price, with all the DLC season add ons!

Agreed, and the main reason for 26 episodes per season was to get a show for rerun syndication as quickly as possible which needs 100 total episodes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_episodes
This caused a lot of high stress during filming to be able to to produce that many episodes in such little time.
With streaming, companies like Netflix and HBO/Max are no longer looking to sydicate, so they can produce at their own pace a bit more. It sucks for the audience that is used to more shows, but I rather have a bunch of mini series that have a beginning, middle and end, than dragged out abominations like The Walking Dead. Shows like Breaking Bad that have both have always been very rare.
I always liked racing games combined with violence like Carmageddon and Twisted metal! Others along those lines are RC Pro Am, Spy Hunter, Road Rash 3D.
$200 for a refurbished 20TB drive on Newegg
The new ones were on sale for $270 so around $10-15 per TB. The best I can find is $40-50 per TB for SSD. Certainly not 7times more expensive but more like 3-5.
Port forwarding, got a good deal, reviewed well. It exports Wireguard and OpenVPN files easily, so you are not tied to their Eddie client. I'm happy with it so far.
Firefox and ublock on desktop. Revanced on android.
It feels like 20 years ago migrating from large chatrooms to bulletin board forums with a smaller more specialized community like setup. Posts and threads don't instantly get buried, and there don't seem to be as many assholes looking to pick a fight.
I see that by scaling down, some of the the more niche forums don't get the traffic, but that will likely change over time. I'm digging the integration with Mastodon so links to people and articles don't have to flow through Twitter. It minimizes having to sift through tons of ads to read what I want.
I also like the region based instances like lemmy.ca and midwest.social having communities and news that is of interest to those regions. It would be cool once more countries have their instances / communities.
Reddit had a good idea with having subs, but many of them got too big to be able to have meaningful discussion for many people. What is the point of trying to comment and engage in a topic that has 5000 posts? Lemmy hopefully can solve that by having the same community in different instances to keep the size where more people can discuss topics in a smaller more engaging setting.
I also use an air mouse with keyboard Like this
I run a linux HTPC that runs Kodi so once it's configured, you can just use the arrow buttons to navigate, not just the air mouse.
