  • "[In] nine out of the last 11 elections. Our sales of the successful candidates’ [campaign merchandise] outpaced that of the candidates who lost in the elections,” Steve Ferber, co-owner of Lori Ferber Collectibles, told VOA Mandarin.

    “I think Trump merchandise was outselling the merchandise for Joe Biden 2-to-1. And amazingly, the day after the debate ended, that completely flopped in the other direction. And now we find that items that are promoting Kamala for president are outselling Donald Trump items 3-to-1.”










  • I previously commented that I was interested, so I downloaded the Docker image and set it up. It has potential. I haven’t tried too much out on it, but have managed to get it to index and install a subsection of the DRM-free GOG and itch.io games I own.

    One thing I couldn’t easily see was how it deals with DLC. I own AI War: Fleet Command along with a handful of expansions which have their own installers. The server picked up the metadata for the main game, but not for the DLC, which are in their own archives. It also didn’t pick up a metadata match for “Dungeon Keeper Gold” despite it having an entry in IGDB. What I’d like to do is be able to assign the IGDB ID as part of the filename, much like one can with IMDB, TVDB and TMDB in Plex. It would also be great to be able to store and separately access non-game assets such as manuals.

    Finally, having to use Microsoft Store to install tears at my soul. Is there really no way to distribute a standalone installer?
