I don't think there's anything wrong with being bad at singing as long as you readily admit that you are a novice.

I did a lot of community theatre when I was young and there were plenty of people who were firmly in the camp it sounds like you're describing. Really bad, trying to emulate the style of pop or stage performers but not understanding the technique.

They think they sound close enough and to the untrained ear, they do so they get a decent amoun of praise which makes them dismiss any notes from people who actually know what they're talking about- people like their music directors etc

True

Dude seriously it's so much easier than anything else. For a personal media server with remote access, jellyfin + tailscale on an old computer you may have laying around plugged into your router is all you need

Most stable vista install

Yeah luckily it doesn't come on any place I'm walking around but I agree.

I figured I never really got it because it came out a few decades before I was born, a few pop songs have been like that for me

Christopher cross griffin this is the final fucking straw

True again. That's what I run upstairs and downstairs on my TVs. If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to use RPis for the same sort of thing if you really really didn't wanna touch any Google stuff, which I would understand.

I also totally get people having slightly different uses for their media servers, like maybe they share their collection with friends and family members who aren't as tech literate/don't wanna use a Google TV when they already stream everything else on their PS5 for example. For those purposes, it has especially made sense historically to go with Plex.

This is true very generally I would say, like you have to do a lot more digging but there are games that deviate from this chibi style you're referring to. Blazblue or any of the SMT games come to mind as examples
