7 Days To Die. It may have taken them 10 years, but the game is pretty solid now. This release has a huge number of quality of life changes, fixes and is extremely performant compared to many previous alphas. Great fun with friends.
Excited for this and perfect for the Steam Deck, but I doubt I’ll get it yet. The early access aspect is putting me off, and I’d rather play the full game.
Sker Ritual has been taking up my time. It’s basically CoD Zombies with another name and different aesthetic. Great fun, and even better as co-op with friends.
Minishoot Adventures. A cross between Zelda and a Bullet Hell. Honestly, great fun and perfect for the Steam Deck. I’ve had a hard time putting it down. Shame about the name tho :)
I have this and use it everyday. I use Beets to give the files metadata (using Musicbrainz and the Discogs plugin as a fallback). I then host Navidrome as a music server and connect it to Last.fm. Once you have all that in place, find a client that does Radio or Instant mixes and it works like a charm. The two clients I use the most for this are SonixD on PC, and Symfonium on Android. If you’re feeling adventurous, then host a VPN at home and connect into your Navidrome server using your phone client, and you have mixes on the go! :)
If by locally you mean all on the same PC, then absolutely. Anything can be a server. Look into running docker on your PC, and then running a Navidrome container on that. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it’s nothing a YouTube video couldn’t teach you (pay attention to anything about persistent storage). Once you have it running, connect to it with 127.0.0.1:4533 (localhost) using a browser, scan your media, and then connect your clients to it with 127.0.0.1 too. Good luck :)
I use Firefox and uBlock Origin. Not sure what kind of experience anyone else is having with YouTube, but recently my home page has been empty because I “don’t have watch history turned on”. Okay, fine. I won’t be able to browse suggested videos, and I’ll spend less time on their platform....
More often than not, adverts are about brand awareness. You might not buy that car based off that advert right now, but when you do decide to buy a car, you’ll remember that brand name and they become a consideration.
I was in your position a few years back. I missed MediaMonkey when shifting to Linux.
I found Tauon media player was a pretty solid replacement for playing local and network files, but ultimately settled on running Navidrome server and Feishin as a desktop client. I haven’t looked back.
For organising your collection, I’d look at using either Musicbrainz Picard (GUI based) or Beets (CLI, and it’s a little complicated at first). I generally use Beets with Musicbrainz database, and the Discog plugin for anything not found by MB.
I haven’t found anything that is a complete package like MediaMonkey, but with a bit of effort and once the parts are set up, it’s so much better.
