  • Pretty much every time I played Oblivion I’d spend a week in the tutorial cave, levelling Agility by using a turbo controller and rubber band, jumping in a corner where the ceiling height is just high enough so you can spam about 5 jumps per second. Later on you can do what you said near a goblin to max Sneak, but I think it’s quicker by that guy you need to kill for the Dark Brotherhood as he’s ill and perpetually sleeping
















  • It hurts, but you may be right. I hate trendsetters for price hikes. Hopefully releases like Peak for $20 can help remind folk that AAAs aren’t always worth the base cost. I just really dislike how capitalism ruins everything, in this case the obsession over currency has led to the games development industry being corporatized; for all but indies it’s largely about how to appease the consumer and maximize profit, instead of how to make something people will love and get enough sales to make another game.

    I came in to the franchise at Vice City Stories and San Andreas, loved them! I do know a little about the chronological releases and that there were spinoffs that for some reason weren’t numbered aha. So:

    Vice City (Miami 1980s) GTA III -

    • Liberty City (sort of NYC) San Andreas -
    • Los Santos (Los Angeles)
    • San Fierro (San Francisco?)
    • Las Venturas (Las Vegas) GTA IV -
    • Liberty City (New York City) GTA V ( -
    • Los Santos again
    • North Yankton (North Dakota)
    • Surroundings are a mashup of several real-life counterparts GTA VI -
    • Vice City again

    I preferred San Andreas, and liked it mainly for the size and beauty of the map (post storyline appeal) and radio stations, Vice City for the collectibles, GTA IV for the brilliant and crazy storyline characters, and GTA V for the same reason as San Andreas.

    A couple of my all-time favourite games were Rockstar (Need for Speed Most Wanted and Midnight Club 3, underground street racing).


  • Self-hosting be like ^^

    I think I had issues similar to that. Perhaps the PiHole is running a conflicting DHCP server? I have my own set of weird issues… Bad connectivity so I need a WiFi range extender, but it’s not a true extender and has its own IP address, acting as a router sometimes and not forwarding DNS queries to the main router… That, a lack of NAT loopback functionality, a lack of changeable DNS settings and the AdGuard Home apparently taking precedent in that side of the house, and I have a cocktail of connection issue bs lol. The main router can DNS perfectly fine, but if I’m connected to the extender I have to add DNS rewrites to AGH… which works for most services…

    The journey is largely about overcoming obstacles aha, and the reward for doing so… Hope yours goes well!


  • Yes! This.

    I have one machine for network sharing storage and thus a user for login and r/w powers. The same storage is used by other machines to save the files, and so each autonomous user for CCTV and qBitTorrent needed to have the same UID as the Samba login, so each program had rw permissions.

    And those containers had to be privileged iirc in order for each root (UID 0) to access the shared storage properly. I may be wrong though
