That’s why we always stan on studios like Remedy. They use their own engine, and pretty much everything they produce is stellar IMO.

Yet, no Half-life 3 😢

They’re absolutely useless as well. Only cause issues and produce less than mediocre food. I’d be happy if they just straight up banned them.

Nope. Not worth staying up that late for what we will mostly likely be a less than entertaining game.

Buzzing for this. Hopefully it’s up-to-scratch with their previous releases. Loved pretty much everything they’ve put out.

Top crisp, but will ruin your fingers for about 6 days.

Honestly, I have no idea how this is acceptable these days, let alone legal.

Great. Now I want cheesy chips.

I was in a similar situation to yourself a while ago. There are so many options, I couldn’t decide which route to take, and I kept breathing life into my underpowered NUC server + external HDD for longer than I should have.

I’m not going to offer any hardware/software advice as there’s plenty of great suggestions in the thread already.

What I will say is… whatever you go for will be better than choosing nothing, and remaining on your existing setup. I can tell you’ve already put so much thought into it, that whatever you choose will not be a disappointment.

For me this ended up being a UGREEN DXP4800 Plus with Unraid.
Off the shelf hardware gave me much less to think about, and a great form factor. And Unraid gives me the freedom/flexibility I need as an enthusiast, whilst keeping things super convenient and maintainable.

6 months down the line I’m super happy with it. It’s surpassed my old NUC setup immensely. I would have been just as happy sourcing all the parts and making a custom build with TrueNas. But the many variables overwhelmed me to the point where I never made any tangible progress.

Liability insurance. For cycling, a membership to UK Cycling will cover you for up to £10M. And also gives you other benefits.

You could purchase this type of insurance independently too.

Hope this helps!

Remember them? I hung these up not but 3 weeks ago at my parents house 😆

Wish this was coming out sooner. Love playing a Remedy game over the Christmas holidays
