Obviously, the live read ads by the podcast hosts will still be there, but yep, the other ads are all usually targeted ones inserted when you download it. Once it’s downloaded, you can change your VPN back to wherever so you don’t have to deal with every site defaulting to Thai or Japanese lol.
This works better than the “skip x seconds” idea others have since some podcasts have mid-show ads, too.
If it’s one of the podcasts that uses a service to auto-insert ads, you can always change your VPN to a country that wouldn’t be relevant and it’ll usually download without ads. It almost always works if I set mine to Japan or Thailand.
What’s the best way to compress mp3 files but still retain the quality (even possible)?
If you’re not starting from a lossless format (like FLAC), you shouldn’t really be compressing anything. When compressing from a lossless format to MP3, it’s totally subjective. When I was more into ripping CDs, I’d do V0 or 320 - there’s probably plenty of internet arguments by people more knowledgeable than me if you need a breakdown in different MP3 compressions.
I’ve used Kotatsu. It’s pretty good for all kinds of comics (not just Japanese manga).
You can download chapters while on WiFi and read without using data.
You might be signed into youtube and it’s remembering where you last had it open?
Death Stranding is more focused on the environment and exploration - it’s just a slower game and doesn’t have bright yellow markers telling you where to go
It’s a good game, but it has a super niche audience. You either like it or don’t
So should I play Horizon Forbidden West instead of this? I don’t like tedious shit.
I get that people have different tastes in games, but that’s a funny “not tedious” game to play instead of Death Stranding lol
And the art for Angel’s Egg, if anyone wants a movie that’s in Amano’s style.
Product Placement: the Game (now with more product placement)
It’s a short story and not a novel, but I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
This one’s especially worth noting since the original author also wrote the game!
Stalker is loosely inspired by Roadside Picnic and the Stalker film
I love when they do the table of contents with little codes that you can find command your way through the guide lol
Still enjoying Unicorn Overlord! Just making little bits of progress here and there.
I also started playing Dome Keeper. I think I like the mining portions a lot better than the tower defense bits. Yes, I played Motherload a lot more than the little tower defense flash games lol
I like playing stupid anime strategy games on the couch while my partner does her hair (yes, I know I could do this on a steam deck, but it didn’t exist when I got the other thing)
They just go back to making Morrowind expansions

I remember .beats being used as the clock in Phantasy Star Online ages ago. Is this still used for anything?
