A while back Giant Bomb switched podcast hosts and lost *years* of Bombcast episodes across 2008-2013, and never fixed the issue.
Using a fan-made RSS feed & Internet Archive to gather those episodes, I’m now self-hosting an archive locally with Audiobookshelf running via Docker on my Synology NAS.

I have a compulsion to keep/maintain my 100% completion of Vampire Survivors, so whenever they release an update that adds more achievements I do appreciate more reasons to dip back into one of the greatest games ever made, but gosh it is a challenge to keep up. Some of the ‘cheevos are wicked hard.

The aforementioned bunny nest. It stormed last night so I moved the kiddo’s sand table to provide cover for the nest and then moved it back this morning (apparently mama bunnies use landmarks not scents to locate their nests), and finally got to see what appears to be at least three baby bunnies.
