Mostly because if I'm going to go through the trouble of maintaining a Nextcloud instance, I might as well use its calendar to maintain more control of my data. If Nextcloud gives me trouble down the line (as it tends to do in my experience) then I'll give Tuta's calendar a try.

I'm optimistic for Nextcloud though, the latest AIO docker versions seem solid.

Unfortunately I made the mistake of really digging myself into the Proton ecosystem.

My current plan is:

VPN -> Mullvad

Mail -> Tuta

Pass -> Bitwarden (not sure if I want to host yet)

Drive -> Nextcloud (Self-Hosted)

Calendar -> Nextcloud (Self-Hosted)

Standard Notes -> Memos (Self-Hosted) (already done)

Simple Login -> no fucking clue, I am dreading migrating these.

I can deal with Andy Yen being a dumbass in his own time, but the official Proton reddit account doubling down on this shit is over the line for me.

I literally just renewed for 2 years a couple days ago. I will be looking for alternatives and hopefully I can get a partial refund or something.

Mostly games that don't fit into an existing category that I don't feel like creating a dedicated category for. Like I could create a stealth category for Thief and Hitman, but it would only contain those two games. Then there's games like Transistor, Cloudpunk, Spiritfarer, etc where I just don't know how I could even categorize them.

Ubuntu in Nobody (slightly nsfw), great movie too.

It checks all the boxes. Pinging some random IP, checking their python version, installing pip updates, the output of ls -l /etc, all in a virtualbox VM. Clearly a professional hacker. /s

The extent of my Digimon knowledge is this animation and OP's image.

Do... Do digimon just transform into women? is that an actual thing in the show?

I will not google this question.

I mean, if you've already paid for the games in the past, and you're going totally DRM free anyway... I feel like you're morally all good to go sailing.

My problem with most Souls-likes is the slow/clunky (for lack of a better word) combat. I've bounced off Code Vein, The Surge, and Elden Ring (which was a refund instead of a backlog) over this. I want to try them again with an open mind at some point though, just with adjusted expectations.

Sekiro on the other hand I really liked the combat of, the reason it got backlogged is because I got tired of fighting through all the grunt enemies between deaths to bosses/mini-bosses. I like difficult bosses if I can immediately try again upon death (a la Furi), but it felt like Sekiro was wasting my time in comparison because I had to GET to the boss again for each attempt. The grunts didn't pose enough of a challenge to be interesting, just enough to slow me down.

I'm not sure if that's a common thing throughout the game, or if it was just in the areas leading up to the point where I stopped, but I am definitely planning on giving it another shot either way. It's been a few years since I last played it.

I avoid early access in general, so I've only ended up with a handful from game bundles.

Sekiro, Code Vein, The Surge, and Steel Rising.

Honestly the first three are candidates for the "Dropped" category, I've started and given up on them before. I want to give them each one more chance at some point.

Very much intentional since I don't own a headset at the moment. If I ever get one again, I'll give the category an emoji to push it back towards the top lol

One of my favorites, I can't wait for the sequel

Let me know how Severed Steel is

It got stuck in backlog hell for a while, just finished it today. It's great!

A lot of these games are pretty short and playing on my Steam Deck during lunch breaks at work is responsible for several completions. I also basically never play online multiplayer games.

Shorter games is the biggest factor though. Just for fun I combined my time in To the Moon, Parking Garage Rally Circuit, Jusant, Sprawl, Toem, ExoOne, Ghostrunner 2, Loddlenaut, Unpacking, Lunistice, Up left out, Naboki, Hook 2, and Inside, and the total number of hours it took to beat all of those was 37.

I'm guessing you probably have more than 37 hours in your favorite online game this year, I just spend my hours on different games lol

Corn Kidz 64 looks super fun, I will definitely be picking that up!

lol when I was reviewing my HLTB log for this post, I had the same thought. "I did all that this year?!" The benefit of mostly playing shorter games, I suppose.

Sea of Stars has been on my radar for a while. I'm not huge on turn-based combat, but it looks so good!

Finally picked up the Cyberpunk DLC. Got Pacific Drive as well.

Still deciding on:

Dead Cells - I found two roguelites I actually like this year (Dome Keeper and Hades) and want to see if I can go three for three.

Dragons Dogma and Stalker - Games with recent sequels I've never touched. For $5/piece I'm tempted to give both a try.

Dying Light 2 - Been in the mood for some dumb open world fun recently, and I refuse to buy anything from Ubisoft to fill that void. This seems decent and I liked the first one.

One of the last good public multiplayer experiences I had was DiRT 3. Simple lobbies, small player count, people randomly joining and leaving and everyone was chill. You'd occasionally get that guy who was stupidly good, perfect lines through every corner, and the entire lobby would try so hard to keep up. Loved it.

One time I stumbled into a lobby where the host was "hacking" but instead of cheating for an advantage, he was selecting weird car class and track combinations for the entire lobby. Stuff that the game wouldn't normally allow. Shit like trailblazer cars on rallycross circuits. So much fucking fun, one of my favorite memories from that game.

That must've been what, 4, 5 years ago? DiRT 3 released in 2011, so...oh my god DiRT 3 came out 13 years ago...

Same here. I really enjoy Nonagon Infinity but haven't been able to get into any other album of theirs.
