People are welcome to mod games in whatever way they want, but Nexusmods has zero obligation to host anything, let alone content that violates their TOS.

I prefer nanazip to 7zip because it's just forked 7zip that's been updated for modern windows. They're working on a dark mode too.

The purpose of the comment is to demonstrate banding. The only reason I marked it in bits is to show how banding can be reduced in video encodes by increasing the bit depth, not the specifics depths itself, it's not a technical write-up.

It's an exaggerated example to demonstrate the concept of banding more clearly, not a technical breakdown.

Banding is that annoying color gradient you see sometimes in dark scenes.

Example

On the left is 8 bit and on the right is 10 bit.

HEVC 10 bit in order to reduce banding for animation, especially during dark scenes. I know H264 Hi10 exists, but it has poor hardware support, so using HEVC 10 bit is the best option (I don't own a single streaming device that supports HW accelerated Hi10, besides my PC). Also, an added benefit is reduced file size. I find that doing my own encodes is very rarely worth it, but when I do, I use FFmpeg in the CLI and not tdarr.

Why both Overseerr and Ombi?

You can install any extension you want, but it's a bit of a process. https://www.androidpolice.com/install-add-on-extension-mozilla-firefox-android/

Overseerr - Request management and media discovery tool for the Plex ecosystem, can auto add requests to Sonarr/Radarr

Jellyseerr - Fork of Overseerr for Jellyfin support

It's worth mentioning Kapowarr which is a new app in the Arr suite for downloading comics, it's still a bit feature-barren because it's new, but it's absolutely functional.

It's not so much that I can't find things on torrents, it's that I don't have to worry about something not having seeders so it's more reliable for old uploads. In addition I've found it to be better for single episodes, multiple release groups that I use seem to only use Usenet.

As for things that aren't movies/tv, I think Usenet is better for slightly more obscure content, such as comic books.
