That back plate looks pretty dope. It’s nice that it uses its own power/battery as I don’t think I’d be comfortable hooking a third-party accessory up to the deck’s internals.
Neat, thanks. I'll have to give it a go!
Does ESO have a 'story' you can play through? I've seen it pop up a few times over the years and all I know about it is that it can become a massive time sink haha.
A couple of people have spoken to me before about wanting to cut back on, or completely cut meat from their diets, but didn't know where to start. If anyone reading this feels the same way, here's some fairly basic recipies that I usually recommend (Bosh's tofu curry is straight up one of the best currys i've ever had - even my non-vegan family members love it)

Tofu is also super versatile and is pretty climate-friendly. there's a bazillion different ways to do tofu, but simply seasoning and pan frying some extra/super firm tofu (like you do with chicken) with some peppers and onions, for fajitas, is an easy way to introduce yourself. Here's a little guide for tofu newbies: A Guide to Cooking Tofu for Beginners - The Kitchn. If you wanna level up your tofu game with some marinades here's six.
Lentils and beans are also super planet friendly, super cheap, and super versatile! You'll be able to find recipies all over that are based around lentils and beans so feel free to do a quick internet search.
Sorry for the huge, intimidating wall of text! I do hope someone interested in cutting back on meat found this useful though :)
psst, since you shared those videos I thought I'd share a cool resource. There's a website called kinderworld.org that has collections of videos on the egg industry, dairy industry, and meat industry. I hope you find this useful :)
For anyone reading who’s curious about iOS options, using Yattee with your Invidious or Piped instance of choice is a good way to go!
You're welcome :) Also just a tip, when I updated my Plex library to add the albums it auto-matched a few of them and changed the artwork to generic pictures (2018 and 2019 did this I believe). Just click the three dots below the album and hit 'unmatch' if this bothers you!
Something I picked up in the summer sale was Space Haven (Steam) and it's really fun. Challenging, but fun. It's a nice mix of building, colony simulation, and resource management - and it's all in spaaaace!
I also picked up Death Road To Canada (Steam) for just under £3, planned on doing a few runs, but I'm currently 20 hours in and still not bored haha.
I made a fully tagged collection of Gizz's KEXP sessions with custom artwork for your listening pleasure :)
Sup weirdos, like many of you I love Gizz's KEXP sessions and wanted a local collection I could stream from my plex server. I downloaded some broadcast rips from archive.org of each set but they were completely untagged and had filenames like "KGATLW6718" "01.flac" etc. so I spent the morning tagging them up and making custom artwork!
In this collection there are: KEXP 2015, 2017, 2017 II, 2018, 2019, and 2022 which I believe is all of them. Each set also includes the post-performance interview :)
I chose .M4A ALAC over FLAC because it works great with the MacOS music app (I use it for my main library) whilst still being compatible with pretty much every music player in existence.
And finally here's the download link. (Mega)
Feel free to share this wherever. No credit needed. I don't have a reddit account anymore and maybe the sub would be interested 🙂👍
copy of the readme.txt (with content sources):
Aye, I have it set up on my server but haven't used plexamp before so I was just unsure. Works as expected :)
No way! Excited to use this, I hope it works with my last.fm plugin though.

Oh boy 😍 the advertisers are here, it’s a success! /s
The thing I’m liking the most about the fediverse so far is the lack of advertising, Lemmy and Mastodon (so far) have a much bigger emphasis on conversation and cool topics, and less on trying to sell us stuff which is really refreshing :)
Easy Grated Tofu & Bean Wraps!
I posted this to mastodon (link) a few weeks ago and thought I'd share here as well :)
There's no 'proper' recipe as it's something I improvised but here's what I did:
I grated the tofu and added it to a hot, oiled pan to brown it off, then added a few splashes of soy sauce, a dash of taco seasoning, a cheeky blob of tomato puree, and and some nooch. Then I tossed in some red kidney beans, and some diced onion and green pepper. Fried on high until the onions went clear.
Wrapped it up with some fresh salad and vegan chilli mayo 🌯
LPT: Clean out your earphones!
For the last few months my airpods have been a very quiet. I thought it was because they were getting old and the batteries were dying. After a quick scrub with some cotton buds dipped in isopropyl alcohol they sound like new again!
Really let the cleaning alcohol soak in there and dissolve all of that nasty earwax, and don't forget to let them dry before using them.
Do it now if you can, it only takes a minute :)
Holy shit Gizz Gator in the wild
I'm considering getting Devour, Deep Rock Galactic, and maybe Dead by Daylight to play with my brother (I haven't played any of these before!) if anyone knows any cool, and perhaps spooky co-op games that are on sale, I'd absolutely love some suggestions! :)
Edit: Some fun co-op games we've played that are on sale are:
We also played Inside The Backrooms which was pretty short but Escape The Backrooms looks similar and is 20% off at the moment, does anyone know how it compares? Thanks :)
Steam Summer Sale (June 29th - July 13th) is now live!

If you haven't played it yet, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series. It's a packaged, remastered bundle of the four Telltale TWD games and DLC stories. I don't want to spoil anything if you're unfamiliar, but the story in these games is an absolute rollercoaster. The overall story of the whole thing is centered on a girl called Clementine, who you meet as a young child at the beginning of a zombie apocalypse and follow her through the motions into becoming a young adult. Being in TWD universe it can get pretty grim but she always finds a reason to keep going :)
Recently, getting S-Rank on every mission in Metal Gear Solid V :)
An older achievement is probably when I blasted through the Borderlands 2 campaign in one sitting in like 4 hours lol
It's not a new one, but I rewatched the 1998 film Dark City (IMDB/RT) 2 weeks ago and totally forgot how atmospheric it was. Whilst it takes it self seriously there's some pretty bizarre moments, I totally cracked up at a scene where one of the 'strangers' exclaims "HE CAN TUNE!" which is followed by a shot of a child stranger smiling and chattering their teeth (YouTube clip)

Also new here, I believe the best way to link communities from across different instances is like this: [email protected] , (!communityname
@instance.url
) this should let anyone from any instance view the community from their home instance (and stay signed in)🙂👍
The VCJ subreddit community is over here:
[email protected] Source: VCJ Reddit post
or for us .ml people you can use lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] to access from this instance 🫡
Bonus tip (for vegoons only): as someone who's new to the fediverse I've found that the "Lemmy Link" extension for Firefox and Chrome is pretty neat. It adds a clickable mouse icon in the sidebar when you access a lemmy community from another instance that redirects you to the community on your home instance 🙂
