Ahh, you’ve got to live a little, even if you risk dying in the process

The corporations always do at the moment

You see what they want you to see

Thank you for the quality assurance, you may have saved my install.

Yeah but, you’re a towel.

Huh, it must have been, because it’s all looking normal now. And here I was assuming it was a questionable artistic choice, good on you and thanks for following up on it.

Why make the text so large in your comment? It really threw off the flow of the thread for me

Hopefully it will help to shift your perspective, so while your situation might not change, your outlook on it will

You could get something like a 5-bay HDD enclosure that connects to the mini pc via usb, but while that’s very clean it also might be slow and/or expensive. Alternatively you could get an NVMe to 5-port sata adapter and cobble together some kind of Frankenstein pc, which is probably cheaper and maybe faster, but is certainly a hack-ier solution and who knows what the reliability is like with them. I’m sure it’ll be a fun project regardless of what you go with.

I do indeed use linux, on an unused laptop hidden away in my tv cabinet. I’m fairly confident it’s not spying on me… but you never know. Unfortunately you are correct, most people do just use whatever is on the TV, ignorant to the accompanying issues this causes for both themselves and society at large.

Just use a hdmi input?

Good lord, how much does electricity cost where you are? Combined with the air conditioning to keep the space livable, that would be prohibitively expensive for me

There’s not really a fix for something like that, it’s more about learning to work with it

I’ll elaborate on artists I see here already amd recommend MF Doom’s Mm…Food, The White Stripe’s Elephant, and a collaboration between MF Doom and Danger Mouse; The Mouse and the Mask. The last is particularly good if you’re familliar with Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Oh man I cannot stand it, it’s a tolerable meme format at best when used correctly, but I find it insufferable when it’s applied mindlessly like this

Ah, that explains the high player count on release

It does get better, and one day you’ll look back and be glad that it turned out the way it did, just keep going ❤️

I’m starting to feel this way more every day
