  • Wait, is it? Like, vanilla, not Northstar? I stopped playing months ago because I’d leave it running looking for a match in the background with my speakers turned up so I could go do chores and watch TV and then run back if I heard the “joining game noise”, occasionally checking to see if matchmaking kicked me out to the menu. It was just too much hassle to get into a game.

    Is all that fixed now? Can I come back? Please god, can I play TF|2 again?




  • I second this, I love my Apple TV. Blazingly fast and stable and the extra features are amazing. Bought a new sound bar the other day, held my iPhone up and it perfectly configured audio latency. The TV itself had trouble communicating with the sound bar over CEC so I told the Apple TV to learn the volume controls from the sound bar remote, took 10 seconds. When I got my TV, the AppleTV used the camera on my phone to configure the picture settings for most accurate colour reproduction. Added a couple notches of saturation because it’s my personal preference, done.

    It plays everything I’ve thrown at it via Plex and Jellyfin, no issues. I also have Moonlight for streaming games from my PC via NVidia game stream and Steam Link for whenever Gamestream shits the bed. Just paired up an Xbox controller to the Apple TV, job done.

    Oh, and TV OS 17 just came out and added third party VPN support, so if you do have Netflix or whatever, you can change region using a VPN.

    I’m not an Apple fan boy but the Apple TV just works and if you already have a modern-ish iPhone (mine’s a 12), it makes it so much better.


  • Diagnosed at 25, Tis hella lame. There are days that I genuinely wanna cut my right big toe off because it hurts so much.

    It’s not hopeless though. I started eating healthy, taking glucosamine and cod liver oil, vitamin supplements, drinking plenty of water and the pain has decreased a LOT. Inflammation is a removed and avoiding foods and drinks that aggravate it seems to help a lot, at least for me. It’s not an overnight thing but a couple months down the road, you might go “Huh, I’ve not been as shitty and depressed lately. Oh, I’ve not been in agony as much!”.

    Just my experience, may be worth a go, can’t hurt! Not more than it currently does anyway, haha. Oh, get comfy-ass shoes too. Got me some Nike airs for going out and I would die without them! OH, and check out a 5 minute morning stretch routine. I thought yoga was bull until I was in so much pain I’d try anything and it really did help, just in general with back pain and stuff.

    Good luck, try to stay positive and manage the pain the best you can. Find what works for you and things will get better :)
