Pre-ordered my β€˜The A1200’ today and I feel giddy

Can’t wait reminisce about and re-experience all the classics of my childhood

Occasionally I’ll watch video reviews to gauge a purchase or check channels like Worth A Buy etc.

But ultimately I only do that for some games.

I typically watch reviews on certain channels just because I like that channel’s content, not to actually use the review as part of my decision

Still play it regularly, it’s a really nice β€˜zen’ game. Works on W11 too with some tweaking and you can grab the files from abandonware (which I had to after the retail CD version just won’t work whatever I do)

Decided to Treat myself to the Octopath Traveller bundle on Steam

Octopath Traveller
Octopath Traveller II

Both games look incredible and by all accounts thats a good 100 hours worth of gaming pleasure

Looking forward to starting this later tonight in bed on my Steam Deck

I used to host it on my Gaming PC & have players connect to my external IP, but now its just really nice having set it up as a VM, Cloudflare Tunnel and a dedicated subdomain

Highly recommend, enjoy!

I also plan on grabbing another Mini PC then I’ll be able to spin up a DMZ Server and segregate the internal Network. Just to make things neater.

Honestly best hobby I’ve had in a long time

Followed by getting some addressable LED strips and an ESP so I can whip up some cool status lights, maybe slap a RAG status scheme so if the lights are Green, all metrics are good, Amber if they’re low & Red if they’re critical

Next step is to find a decent Enclosure & I can move 2x 3.5” 3TB HDD from the Gaming PC to the Homelab, then I’ll switch from Plex streaming to a nice low wattage JellyFin VM

Also looking at getting a couple cheap high capacity SSDs to fit into the HPs for extra scalability

I may have gone a bit overboard with my
#HomeLab, bought a 10 inch 6U enclosure

2 HP Prodesk G3 Minis, 1 on each of the bottom shelves & a TP-Link Switch on the next shelf up

The PCs are in a Proxmox Cluster

AdGuard VM
Foundry VTT (for #DnD) VM
Docker LXC (for #Minecraft)
Home Assistant VM

WatchTower
Servarr
Foundry (for #DND)
