  • As a person who’s not into the table top games, but loves the lore.

    I watch/listen to a few channels:

    WesHammer - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSDj6ttwzj2sr464jDdg_pA

    He does a short introduction (on camera), then the rest is audio with relevant artwork and some video from the games.

    Aside from the usual deep-dives into the various factions and popular characters, I enjoy his Grim Dark Story Hour vids. These focus on creepy (horror) short stories from random Warhammer books, where Wes does some voice acting as well.

    The Sleepy Hollow - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC86zNGwCUt5gBnizRSWSLuA

    Warhammer lore (and game lore). It’s meant to be for helping people get to sleep. But I listen to it during the day. If you do use it for sleep, watch out for the super loud Youtube ads that play in the middle, if you don’t have Premium or use Peertube.

    There are a lot of other Youtubers that do good content as well, like Arbitor Ian etc.

    The top two are my recommendations.




  • Starting to think that companies are all competing on a secretive Achievements Global Leaderboard.

    Synology finally unlocked: “Hubris - only 99% of other large corporations have achieved this”.

    I have an old Synology NAS; which i was considering upgrading.

    But…

    1. They removed Video Station and HEVC support
    2. Recently moved to remove all hardware transcoding
    3. This stupid HD restriction
    4. The decision to once again cheap out on hardware. My Synology is about as powerful as a first-gen Netbook. Newer models aren’t much of a step-up. I’m surprised they opted to upgrade networking to 2.5gbe, probably pressure from competitors.
    5. Edit: from a comment, the e-waste builds with non-upgradeable RAM

    Yes the software is easy and reliable to use, but the fact that I only need to interact with it a few times a year, means it’s no longer a selling point for me.
