Does Fluent Reader count? Doesn’t have an amazing interface but it’s free and simple to use.
I remember being confused by the ending but tbh never to the extent it ruined the rest of the franchise retroactively. Not even Andromeda managed to so that! I still have fond memories of ME and I’m constantly tempted to replay it with the legendary edition, if only I had the time.
Oh I think i tried at one point and when the guide started talking about inventory, playbooks and hosts in the first step it broke me a little xd
Got any decent guides on how to do it? I guess a docker compose file can do most of the work there, not sure about volume backups and other dependencies in the OS.
Wasn’t that more for games like wizardry or the more modern example, legend of grimrock? It sounds more related to what a dnd party would do than just fighting hordes of enemies.
Back in my days we called games like Diablo hack n slash RPGs
Sounds like the original creators of these games should get the rights back for chump change.
When you’re working with purely digital products nothing is going to stay around for very long
Illuminating and very worrying statement in this context
Hmm, I bought a used laptop on which I wanted to tinker with linux and docker services, but I kinda wanted to separate the NAS into a separate advice to avoid the “all eggs in one basket” situation (also I can’t really connect that many hard drives to it unless I buy some separately charged USB disk hubs or something, if those exist and are any good?)
However I do see the merit in your suggestion considering some of the suggestions here are driving me into temptation to get a $500 NAS and that’s even without the drives… that’s practically more than what my desktop is worth atm.
Could be a regional thing but Synology HDDs are around 30% more expensive than ‘normal’ WD/Seagate/Toshiba that I’m seeing at first glance. Maybe it does make it up for quality and longevity but afaik HDDs are pretty durable if they are maintained well, and I imagine them being in RAID1 should be good enough security measure?
Considering the price of the diskstation itself it’s all quickly adding up to a price of a standalone PC so i’m trying to keep it simple since it’s for a relatively low performance environment.

Sorry, with ‘docker drives’ I meant ‘docker volumes or bind mounts’. I dont have a lot of experience with it yet so I’m not sure if I’m going to run into problems by mapping them directly to a NAS, or if I should have local copies of data and then rsync / syncthing them into the NAS. I heard you can theoretically even run docker on the NAS but not sure if that’s a good idea in terms of its longevity or performance.
Is the list of “approved HDDs” just a marketing/support thing or does it actually affect performance?
Thanks for the answers! The DS2xx series looks like something I could start with. DS223 is a bit cheaper and has 3 USB ports so that could be useful, I’d guess I don’t need to focus on performance since it’s mostly just for personal data storage and not some intensive professional work.
They are still being vague about the monetization (it does seem like it will have MTX) and I’m am completely certain that designing it with co-op in mind is going to ruin the singleplayer vibe and progression. Hopefully I’m proven wrong though
Someone must have signed off on this and thst person should have gotten jail time IMHO.
Logseq
I’ve been using logseq for a few months now, can you go into more detail why you switched to Joplin? You can also just stick to pages rather than the journal with logseq (it’s mostly what I’ve been doing) so I’m not sure from just that comment what’s the benefit of Joplin.
Oh yeah I played both before and after hots 2.0, I just don’t want battle passes and overpriced skins. I always thought the gold, gem and shard prices were pretty fair and accessible in hots, which made me actually spend money on it more than any other game at the time… but apparently it wasn’t designed in a way to draw the whales in so it didn’t make as much money off them.
I got blasted with a tidal wave of nostalgia when I saw this, the first game was amazing! I haven’t even thought about it for years
I started playing it again recently and it’s as good and fun as ever. If they start up the development again I hope they don’t make it worse, I don’t want hots2 with the same ‘blizzard overwatch 2’ mindset.
Why was there even pressure to deliver if the official API wasn’t even out yet? I thought they were just working on UI and basic functionality until they can plug in the API, so if anything they had more time and leisure than if everyone were screaming “i need it now”. It seems more likely they just bit more than they could chew and decided to give up the app development since it ended up being harder than they thought (and that’s completely fine to do). You don’t really make an app like this overnight, especially if you have no prior experience doing it.
I can give so many but you’ll have to narrow down your preferences a bit ^^
I’ve recently been playing Remnant 2, Songs of Syx, Age of Darkness, dotAGE, Helldivers, Valheim, Against the Storm… all really impressive and amazing games made by (relatively) small studios or AA developers with a passion for games. If you’re completely new to the indie scene you probably can’t go wrong with Hades, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Terraria
