We watched StarCrash recently as part of our weekly bmovie watching ritual, and it was one of the better ones.
Clearly a feeble attempt at a Star Wars ripoff, the movie has surprisingly good production value, and the story makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Highly recommend!

Rage comics fed and thrived on negativism to an extreme. Other memes templates like Advice Animals did too, but not to such an extend.

I swear, Stealth is broken in this fucking game
I have every perk related to stealth maxed out, I'm wearing every possible invisible space suit / helmet combination PLUS that stupid tactical stealth suit, and basically every turret fire at me from miles away.
If an enemy is above level 10 they spot me almost instantly as well. Very frustrating.
It took me AGES to max out the perk that requires you to stab 75 NPCs because it doesn't work!

This is what happens with every single music license game in existence.
It sucks but there's nothing they can do because the shrinking user base does not justify renewing the licenses, both in terms of fee and effort.
At least you get to keep the DLC titles you purchased, which probably wouldn't happen with a SaaS title

Firefox doesn't have native HEVC support. So I switched to Opera because no other browser except for Safari has that feature.
Supposedly Edge has it, but couldn't get it to work on my media server app.

I can't find a way to do this. When I'm on a planet I would like to do all related quests, but I couldn't find an easy way to do this

Thanks to whoever took the time to transcribe those. * Alien DNA - You volunteered for a controversial experiment that combines alien and human DNA. As a result, you start with increased health and oxygen, but healing and food items aren't as effective. * Dream Home - You own a luxurious, customizable house on a peaceful planet! Unfortunately it comes with a 125,000 credit mortgage with GalBank that has to be paid weekly. * Empath - You are deeply connected to the feelings of others. Performing actions your companion likes will result in a temporary increase in combat effectiveness. But, performing actions they don't like will have the precise opposite effect. * Extrovert - You're a people person. Exerting yourself uses less oxygen when adventuring with human companions, but more when adventuring alone. (Can't be combined with Introvert) * Freestar Collective Settler - You gain access to special Freestar Collective dialogue options and better rewards from some missions given by the faction. But, crime bounty towards other factions is greatly increased. (Can't be combined with any other faction allegiance trait) * Hero Worshipped - You've earned the attention of an annoying "Adoring Fan" who will show up randomly and jabber at you incessantly. On the plus side, he'll join your ship's crew and give you gifts. * Introvert - You really need your alone time. Exerting yourself uses less oxygen when adventuring alone, but more when adventuring with other human companions. (Can't be combined with Extrovert) * Kid Stuff - You parents are alive and well, and you can visit them at their home. But you will automatically send 2% of your credits home to them every week. * Neon Street Rat - You grew up on the mean streets of Neon. You gain access to special dialogue options, and better rewards from some missions on Neon. Crime bounty by other factions is greatly increased. (Can't be combined with any other faction allegiance trait.) * Raised Enlightened - You grew up as a member of the Enlightened. You gain access to a special chest full of items in the House of the Enlightened in New Atlantis, but lose access to the Sanctum Universum chest. (Can't be combined with any other religion trait) * Raised Universal - You grew up as a member of the Sanctum Universum. You gain access to a special chest full of items in the Sanctum Universum in New Atlantis, but lose access to the House of the Enlightened chest. (Can't be combined with any other religion trait) * Serpent's Embrace - You grew up worshipping the Great Serpent. Grav jumping provides a temporary boost to health and oxygen, but health and oxygen are lowered if you don't continue jumping regularly - like an addiction. (Can't be combined with any other religion trait) * Spaced - Your body has become acclimated to space. Health and oxygen are increased when in space, but decreased when on the surface. (Can't be combined with Terra Firma) * Taskmaster - Occasionally, if you have crew trained in a certain ship system, that system will automatically repair itself to full health whenever it is damaged below 50%. However, all crew cost twice as much to hire. * Terra Firma - You've never acclimated to space. Health and oxygen are increased when on the surface, but decreased when you're in space. (Can't be combined with Spaced) * United Colonies Native - You gain access to special United Colonies dialogue options and better rewards from some missions given by the faction. However, crime bounty by other factions is greatly increased. (Can't be combined with any other faction allegiance trait.) * Wanted - Someone put a price on your head and word has spread. Occasionally, armed mercenaries will show up and try to kill you, but being cornered gives you an edge - when your health is low you do extra damage.
I *might* be a little OCD about all this, but sometimes when I browse my Plex I notice that Plex changes the artwork of my film collection. This is quite annoying. Is there an option to tick somewhere to restrict Plex from doing this?

I enjoy Voyager but I always thought is was slow and overall unresponsive. Turns out that when installed as a web app it's much more quicker and a better experience. Firefox is my default browser and the install option doesn't seem to work properly (or at all?) To install Voyager as a web app on your android phone if Firefox is your default browser (or any other brower other than Chrome), simply go to the voyager link using Chrome and then install it from the menu. The difference is night and day
What the title says. I have one account with a long Blocklist, and each time I try to add this account on Connect, it breaks something, nothing is showing at all (local/all/subscribed) and all my accounts are affected. The only way to fix the situation is to clear data in the block list and to sign-in all my accounts over again
I wanted to block a community, but clicked on instance instead. The instance appears on my block list, and no matter how many times I unblock it, it always come back in my block list. It seems that the change doesn't save when I exit the menu.
