Gee, I think that’s about the same time they decided that they community wanted more difficulty and made the decision to make the lowest levels of the game into bullet-sponges and to make no changes at all to the parts of the game that veteran players wanted more difficulty in.
Now it’s super grindy for veterans, and not fun for newbies. Exactly the opposite of what was wanted by all.
I am not at all surprised that people are quitting.
I have another answer: It’s because true innovation is hard.
We have a ton of super-popular violent games to source ideas from for new games. We take an idea and modify it a little, and it’s fun.
We don’t have nearly as many super-popular non-violent games to source from. They exist, but there just aren’t as many of them, and they’re generally pretty “cozy” instead of pumping the adrenaline. Sports/racing games are an exception, but “non-violent” still depends on the exact sport and implementation. Many of them aren’t non-violent.
It’s the same reason that fantasy often still uses elves, trolls, and dwarves. They’re really easy to source from, and coming up with compelling new races that aren’t essentially the same as the tropes is hard.
Indies are into innovation. AAAs are into money.
Yup. Feeding the trolls. Doomed to failure.
Not only can it be removed, they’ve already said it going to happen soon.

There’s some irony for ya. :D
To expand upon that, I had something similar to the OP’s setup at one point, and I found things worked a lot better when the files could be moved on the same volume, rather than appearing as separate volumes (because they were mounted separately). I ended up re-engineering my whole setup for that and it’s much faster now.
As for duplicates… I assume this is so you can continue seeding after the file has been moved? I can’t think of anything that would fit the bill for that off the top of my head. Ideally, I think you’d want QBT to just start serving from the new location instead, though I admit hard links does sound like a solution that could work.
And after Googling, it seems like it already does hard links for torrents for this exact reason. I think if you just map /media (and drop the 2 maps you have after that) things will work like you want.
“round file” is a cute name for a garbage can.
It used to be 12 months, and I was so mad at that that I stopped subscribing, used all my credits, and basically never went back. I won’t even consider subscribing again so long as things I pay for don’t continue to be mine. I paid for the those credits, and they should be there forever until I use them. If they don’t like that, they should give my money back instead.
I can see a lot of people using the drumroll thing, and that’s going to let it in the door for so much crap.
It’s one of those things that you can see slowly coming from a mile away, but there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop it.
Legit?
I could see it maybe being useful for certain large games that you only play occasionally, but…
That’d mean redownloading right when you actually want to play, which is a pain. Also, in ability to tell it to archive or un-archive something manually makes that situation even worse.
It feels like those “ram doublers” back in the day… Neat in theory, but just painful in reality. It puts a check mark on a sales pitch, but doesn’t actually help anyone.
If you’re only watching on 1 TV, I don’t think there’s any reason to keep them a separate 4k library. And if your server can handle transcoding easily, there’s still not much reason.
If you have an often-used second (or third, etc) TV with lower resolution and your server doesn’t handle transcoding well, then it’s probably worth keeping them separate.
I’ve also started to disagree with the guide about file size. I don’t think I can tell the difference, and I’m not trying to preserve media for the future. So long as the video has the features I want, I think just about any file size is fine.
I turned on the video upscaling initially when I got mine, and then turned it off immediately and left it off. I hated it. I would rather watch 1080 native than upscale it.
I’m not real happy with how scary the warnings are for sideloading apps, but I think this is different. In this case, it was installed from 1 place, then updated from another. I think the user needs to know that, and that it might be undesirable. And it doesn’t keep warning you about that app afterwards, either.
Like you, I don’t see that setting, and only see the one you see. I don’t think it exists. I think they just had it backwards.
It makes no sense to delete movie files when clicking unmonitor.
I think the newer ones have a single SATA. I’d probably go the NAS route even if it had 3 connectors, though. There’s something about having my data storage separate from my computing that I like. I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what since I’ve been typing this, and I’ve failed, though. :D
If companies can say they can respond to my concerns within 2 business days, then companies can also take 2 business days to take down reported content. It takes a human being to review that stuff and it’s not instant. If it was, trolls would end up with everything being taken down. UFC’s outrage that it can take “hours” to remove the content is ridiculous.
I don’t see Watchtower in there anywhere. Even just used as a simple on-demand updater, it’s worth the time to set it up. (Which is pretty minimal anyhow.) But it can also just run automatically and keep things up to date all the time.
What do you use for a launcher now?
I did, at launch. It was somewhat fun, and I didn’t regret my purchase. It’s pretty much exactly the game you expect, from the ads. That alone makes it noteworthy, IMO. :D
