Nah it's actually decent.

Then again I didn't get the cowboy bebop hate either. It was okay? Like not OMFG THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME, but it wasn't as shit as people claim it was. I fairly enjoyed the show, even after rewatching the anime right before.

One Piece actually captures the flow and the mood of the anime. It is over the top, like the anime, but realistically toned down so it doesn't seem like it's trying too hard. The pace is good and the changes to the story seem coherent to adapting as an live action and for people who have heard of One Piece but never really got into it. The dialogues aren't literate master pieces but they really do not need to be. The special effects sometimes look a bit weird but they didn't bother me too much.

Ich mag Discord auch, aber ich bespreche dort nichts privates, nutze es nur zum scheiß pfostieren, oder mit der Gemeinschaft eines Videospiels zu interagieren.

It's a really fun time to self-host today

I usually cut down on domain/DNS cost by using a free dynamic DNS service called duckdns. It works super well, provides Let's Encrypt support and sub-sub-domains. (for example your could have https://git.$username.duckdns.org)

I've found as a IT noob that Caddy 2 provides as much "batteries inside" and "boiler-plate free" to support me, because I have no Idea what I'm doing. So I just let caddy handle my encryption and reverse proxy to my actual server.

I'm an embedded software dev, who only discovers ethernet protocols on a surface level, because we hadn't need it yet in previous projects, so I'm a bit lost on how to do cloud stuff. So having all these great tools for free for me to try out and connect from outside to my media servers and stuff is awesome!

Game itself is a ton of fun. If you and your friends just want to learn the game you can just print out the cards, no problem. Or if you want real^TM^ cards you can get a starter kit with 2*60 card decks for about 10-15$ from your local game store. (Or amazon if you are in a remote area with no Game Stores.) They are not the best decks, but they are balanced to each other and the cards are simple enough for new players to navigate.

Better Magic Cards do mostly 2 or 3 things at once and can combo with others or are just great by themselves. Not that worse Magic Cards can't combo or anything, they just need more setup or can be a bit niche in their usefulness.

What's your favorite Cyberpunk visual media?

I don't really know since when I started to like cyberpunk, but I was gifted a book in a somewhat child-friendly cyberpunk setting. It was called Back-Up (Unfortunately only available in german). I don't recall much of it, just that there was this hacker called "GoTo" uploaded his conciousness into a computer and was able to access the internet and stuff. His catchphrase was "bilbao" something like "everything will be fine". I guess that really stuck with me, since I remembered it after 20 years...

The other big influence of mine was of course manga and anime. Ghost in the Shell was my favourite movie for a long time. I also watched Serial Experiments Lain, but didn't really understand it. Just that it was cool as heck.

What's your "old person" trait?

If the publisher ceases to exist and you lost the CD/DVD you don't own that media as well. Since you lost it. So the point you are trying to make in regards to GOG and Bandcamp is invalid. Those explicitly state that whatever you buy there is yours to own and keep.

GOG only has the convenience that you COULD get it back, if you lost it.

Anyway back to topic: This is the reason why I buy the media from digital distributors, download the media, crack the encryption, which I am allowed to do, because European Laws and this is my own bought copy of this media. I self-host it on a physical server I have access to and give no public access to it. I bought this thing to own, not to own the right of consumption.
