  • I went through a lot of humidifiers for this exact issue until I landed on this guy. https://a.co/d/d9KsgV5

    It’s not perfect, but it fit nearly all of my needs (which you listed above). It uses Tyua, so it’s not local UNLESS you set it up with LocalTyua like I did. The only major downside is, it beeps every time you have it do something via home assistant. If you’re crafty, you could probably remove the speaker, but I haven’t bothered (yet).






  • Far too many to list, but Final Fantasy IX’s soundtrack is a tremendous work of art, and a perfect final bow for Nobuo Uematsu from the series. It’s always stuck with me among nearly ever other soundtrack.

    Notable Mentions (in no order):

    • Sonic 2 and 3&K
    • Hotline Miami 1 & 2
    • Street Fighter 2
    • Nier Automata
    • Castlevania (Whole Damn Series)
    • Donkey Kong Country & 2
    • Doom I & II
    • Undertale
    • Freedom Planet
    • Golden Sun 1 & 2
    • Hollow Knight
    • Skyrim
    • Kirby Series
    • Mario Series
    • MegaMan 2 & 3 (Shout-out to The Megas)
    • Super Meat Boy

    And so many others, but I’ll be here all day if I keep going.
