OP probably meant 'onslaught', with all the communities that have basically became lists of articles posted by automated bot accounts.

There's !SquaredCircle@kbin.social but I feel like there are 6~ active commenters there... the other options are like ghost towns.
Nvidia has this classed as a "New Features Branch" release, as opposed to a "Production Branch" release, so... Beta?
Is this a stable 545 release, or just another point release for the 545.23.06 beta?
You know its a crazy fight when they even give the translator a bonus afterward! 🔥
Metal Gear Solid Triangle
Yeah, I know Kojima left but like they could still just use the number 3.
Mister Bondman, please pay this month's rent. Also, there are noise complaints from the neighbors!
So far these last two episodes have been B-story bonanzas, but I'm still enjoying the spotlight shining on the supporting cast for a change.
- That reporter Franklin was really portrayed as a bit of a slimeball, wasn't he?
- The Bondman segment just being him acquiring a queue of girlfriends that ultimately being his downfall was decent.
- I liked the little omakes after end credits too, especially Anya's telepathy giving her a reason to never get in the pool again!
I tried both Lidarr and Beets before, but their automation tended to pick matches with a "eh, close enough" attitude, so I just decided I'd do it properly myself.
I tag metadata on everything with MusicBrainz Picard, and then store it in a /{Album Artist}/{Album}/{Track} hierarchy.
I kinda enjoyed them giving a bit more depth to Damian though; showing that his two friends are really there for him, almost to their own detriment, and that while he is determined to live up to the goals his father set for him, he might actually be willing to mellow out a bit from time to time.
The lake was really nicely drawn too.
I would've suggested MusicBrainz as a metadata library to pull genre tags from, but I'm pretty sure beets uses that as it's source too. I tried beets on my collection, but ended up just using MusicBrainz Picard and tagging things manually because beets would basically pick the first match it found a lot of the time, and there was usually a more correct option in the database.
As far as bulk downloading diverse music catalogs, I don't really know of any good sources, but there probably are music-focused trackers out there that could provide that. I've just slowly build my collection up album by album as I found things that interested me. Maybe check the likes of last.fm and ListenBrainz for most played music in their stats, and start collecting those?
How do you intend to access your music collection? Navidrome? or are you just building up folders of music?
The "bluescreen" was actually a bunch of hints at Portal 2's announcement at E3 later that year IIRC, but whatever.
