Not really into platformers but man the art style aesthetic they have going here is amazing.

Quoting: SupayHDD prices have gone up so much. I went to refresh and replace some of my 4 and 8TB old ones with 14TB, and was horrified at how expensive 4 and 8 still are compared to when I bought them years ago. It's why I went with Snapraid and mergerfs for my big media array. Can use any mixed sizes and types of disk, parity is confined to specific disks, only disks in use spin up, and if the array fails then I can still read each disk independently so only lose the disks that died. It's great for WORM type setups, doing the overnight sync and able to recover from disk loss if needed. I have had to do that, and it worked perfectly.

If you do get a Poweredge or similar, I recommend putting something like Proxmox on to start with and then out OMV on that. Keep to a very basic config for Proxmox, don't try and learn too much to start with, and then pop OMV on as a VM. That'll let you then be able to add other VMs/containers and nodes to the system later as you learn it. Though OMV can do a little of that as well, so can always just install that directly and get used to the options that provides first.

thanks again for the advice :)

and agree on prices. I think I will just try to keep those old wd red drives spinning for as long as I can, I just don't want to put down almost $2k for new ones. Holy shitballs.

What's the general consensus here on the AI usage inside Arc Raiders?

YES! Been looking forward to this. But now, alas, I don't know what to do. Do I either play this or Quartet on the Deck as my next game? CHOICES!

^ the "indie" category has always been that way. It's so dumb. They have been told a million times to fix it and they ignore everyone and continue to put massive studios in that category. My all time fav was dave the diver. Just insulting. Nexon has 7000 employees, $3 billion in revenue, and is one of the largest gaming companies on earth. Get outta here with that nomination.

all hail the fake frames?

I have never and will never use any form of frame generation or upscaling. If I wanted to play my games on a 480p monitor, I would have bought a 480p monitor and a 3dfx voodoo gfx card from 1998.

It's (as its always been) just a popularity contest. I liken it to a high school play production or something. The cool kids get the acting role but the real people doing the actual work putting on the show are behind the scenes getting no recognition.

Thank you so much everyone for all the insight! This is super helpful. So I think I will definitely look at doing the following sometime in 2027 / 2028:

1) steam machine in living room under tv.
2) some form of storage server (dell poweredge or similar) with whatever is at the time the cheapest way to get to around 100 tb worth of wd red nas drives (or similar at the time). And have this running something like OMV.
3) install plex and jellyfin on the steam machine and network connect all the directories from the storage server.

Not sure if I'll continue using the current wd red drives I have or if I will spring for new ones as the current ones will be 7 / 8 yrs old. But new ones are SO EXPENSIVE. It'll be almost $2k to get 100tb worth of those damn things.

Thanks again everyone!
