Okay, tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US.

This is a day I tend to not enjoy!

My family is fragmented, and a lot of them are dead or very ill, and most of the ones who aren't dead or very ill suck!

I miss my mom, and 3 of my grandparents, and I think my dad is about to start declining very quickly, and I'd just as soon never have to interact with my step-mother's family again.

My wife's family is better! But holidays there are still pretty stressful, and usually involve at least one person saying something completely unhinged. And also forced prayers!

So I'm thinking about how I'm actually going to spend the day so as to not want to fucking die.

I have for several years intended to sit down at watch Raumpatrouille – Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion, the West German "star trek" style science fiction television program from 1966.

It aired for seven episodes.

You can find them with hard subs here: https://archive.org/details/raumpatrouille-orion-ep-03

or soft subs in multiple languages here: https://archive.org/details/space-patrol-raumpatrouille-orion-1966/Raumpatrouille+Orion+%5B1966%5D+1+-+Angriff+aus+dem+All.mkv

In either cause, they appear to be be pretty good DVD rips.

I have been fiddling with a #gameDad, and it should play movies pretty well, so I'm going to slop those over to an SD Card and watch them on my Game Dad instead of engaging with thanksgiving.

@ajroach42 I have never thought of having media on gamedad other than games.

There any programs/distros best for that? I only got emulators...
