Start with your city and parish, do either of them run a household hazardous waste recycling center? These places will take chemicals, batteries and other dangerous materials so they don't end up in the landfill. Sherveport is hosting a dropoff day on July 26: https://www.shreveportgreen.org/community-garden-2-2-1
Also look and see if any local recycling centers will take them. We also have electronic/e-waste collectors in my area.
There was a big shift between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. Compared to Zero Mission, there is almost no plot in Super Metroid. The only major plot point is the whereabouts of the metroid which Ridley abducted in the opening scene.
Super Metroid is much more action focused then the later entries. I will say that the later areas are a little more atmospheric than the first half of the game. Wrecked Ship definitely has a different vibe than the rest.
I've kept a blanket for 20 years. I remember when I bought it at a department store with my mom before I went off to college. It's the perfect thickness and texture for me to sleep with. The nostalgia is an added bonus for a really comfortable blanket.
Sprinkle some smug self-satisifaction on top of this and it's a real good portrait of the Christian right. Religion is a narotic for these folks who spend their days judging others. They believe in the correct God™ and His prosperity gospel. Anyone who is poor or those who "sin" deserve their lot in life. And how are kids to learn self-reliance when they're coddled with free food? We're so weak to let our kids live in such decadent times! What's next, they won't have to pay for healthcare after they made the bad decision to get hurt or sick?
They ask how we can be so wasteful as a society while they clutch their imitation pearl necklace. Meanwhile the public's share of wealth shrinks and everyone is left to fight for the scraps. When the situation is so dire, it's easy to fight with each other than to question big business, Wall Street or the financial sector.
APKs are available wherever you'd like to source them. F-droid should technically work on Android TV, as well. Android TV OS is a different OS from original Android, so I've never seen an alternative like Graphene.
Prices for physical console games has exceeded any historic cycle. I've been shopping at the same local used store for 30 years and stopped in a few days ago. I saw a copy of Aerobiz Supersonic for $200. Authentic carts for Earthbound are listed at $400.
A great game, but it's being sold at a borderline criminal price during a massive market bubble.
If a game isn't legally available for purchase (digital or physical) from the original company or subsidiary, it's absolutely the correct decision to pirate a game. Subscription services like Nintendo Switch Online don't count in my book.
Even with inflation, the game should only cost around $100 based on original price. And even if I buy a used game, the original creators don't see a dime. We should support the developers/publishers and reward those who create good rereleases like the Castlevania Collection.
I'd also grab a ROM or ISO of a game that I've bought on Steam so that I can play it on original hardware. But that's just me.
All *arr apps should use root folders to organize media. If I understand the question, here's the hypothetical situation:
Create a root folder for *Arr App.
Download media until drive is full.
Create a new root folder that points to different drive.
Configure *Arr App to move new downloads to new root folder created in step 3.
You should be able to have multiple root folders, but I've only checked in So are. One problem you'll run into is that you can't break up music artists or TV show series across root folders.
You might want to consider something like OpenMediaVault or Unraid to manage your storage. Either platform (or others) allow you to add drives as needed. I don't use either so I'm just passing that along as a consideration.
Not sure if my setup is unique or wrong but here's what I use:
I registered a domain with Name cheap and created subdomains for the tools I wanted to access (i.e. jellyfin.domain.tld, sonarr.domain.tld)
A DDNS client on my OpenWRT router updates the IP address for those subdomains. Traffic for each subdomain is pointed at my server.
Nginx Reverse Proxy runs on my server. This provides HTTPS certificates and is pretty straightforward.
I also use Tailscale for remote access and I'm not sure that my friends and family are ready for that. (Admittedly, I'm still on Plex.) Registering your own domain and using a DDNS service and reverse proxy will give your users an easier experience than Tailscale. I can give an easy-to-remember URL to folks rather than a new VPN platform to learn.
If security is more important, Tailscale is the best option for remote connections.
Why don't we need this for Plex? Because Plex has all of the above steps baked into its service.
I wish someone would make a new RTS with the Halo Wars control scheme. It works so well on the Steam Deck. I played Halo Wars 2 on the Xbox and I was disappointed by the new gameplay.
I use the ONN 4K Pro and the ProjectIvy launcher. You can completely hide the standard Android TV OS launcher and its ads. Button Mapper is another good app to have on Android boxes. The remote is full of app-specific buttons that I've either disabled or remapped to alternative apps
I think hindsight bias is always a factor when talking about old video games. The N64 was a runt in sales but the library was stacked in my opinion. But it sold nearly as many U.S. units as the SNES or Genesis, so the fact that the PS1 was such a blockbuster doesn't reduce the N64's quality.
Catalog wise, I always felt that the N64 had enough games until at least 1999 when the PS1 pulled away. It had better shooters (with awesome multiplayer) and great party games.
People in 2025 should remember that some folks were lucky enough to have both systems, which plays a factor too.
The depressing thing is that I thought they were referring to the Saudis and the latest U.S. investment trip.
