Another possibility: some VPNs will allow you to connect multiple devices together via the VPN. I know NordVPN does, they call that feature “Meshnet”. See if you can put your TV on the VPN too and set it up for that. But yeah, the VPN is definitely your problem here.

The solution might be to ditch Popcorntime for separate torrent and media programs, then you could set up a split tunnel.

Child’s Play Charity have been putting video games into children’s hospitals and hospices for years for exactly this reason. It’s awesome to see more good science supporting it :)

Has it occurred to you that maybe I am perfectly capable of googling something, but the level of technobabble that I got back in the results went way over my head? And that Wikipedia wasn’t especially helpful (see link elsewhere in the thread), so the best way I could think of to understand something was to just ask the people who’re talking about it, and, presumably, know about it?

So, thank you for the information, but please do work on your soft skills a little. For example, apologising for something that “feels rude or offends”, and then going ahead and doubling down (with added assumptions, no less), makes that apology feel highly questionable in the first place.

I mean, it’s not the best choice… 😎

Wait, I’m confused. The site you linked says that FLAC files are typically larger than mp3s?

Citation…?

Just curious, what’s a flac?

I’d recommend Gnosia, a visual novel themed entirely around time loops. The presence of Steins;Gate and Majora’s Mask on your list make me think you’ll enjoy it.

Also: Life Is Strange can have time loops depending on the decisions you make and how you choose to play the game. And there’s one segment in the Two Whales that I think you will really really enjoy.

It’s their adults-only tracker.

Fun fact: When you check a book out of your local public library, the publisher gets a small royalty. I have no insider knowledge but I suspect a similar arrangement is their endgame here.

From a business perspective, the bottom line is: if you’re treating people who’ve paid you money worse than people who haven’t, you’re doing something very wrong.

Nah, October was a good month, let 'em have this one.

Visual Studio. You can buy it for mid- to high-three figures, or you can use the nerfed version of VS Code (or, better yet, VSCodium) for free. In practice, most people pay a monthly subscription and never actually own it.
