It used to be a given that Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon followed along perfectly with the movie The Wizard of Oz. If you started the album after a specific MGM lion roar, you could play the album on repeat and it would fit eerily close to certain scenes.

For me, this question comes up because I was playing Spider-Man 2 for PS5 and had Unicorn by GUNSHIP playing. I may have had it on shuffle but the number of times things lined up was crazy good. “Tastes Like Venom” as Peter gets the black suit for the first time, “Monster In Paradise” as he beats the snot out of the Hunters, and “Darkness for Dreams” as Miles and Martin Li enter Peter’s consciousness are literal perfection. The only outliers are the parts of the game, like Howard’s mission, where the song is meant to accompany that section of gameplay. Otherwise, I could play it on repeat and feel some kind of weird connection between the two separate but awesome pieces of art.

Lemmy, what’s your video gaming equivalent? I don’t just mean albums that are cool combined with a game. I mean a combo that gels in the same way as DSotM and Wizard of Oz.

I just added a series to my Sonarr list and a few of the episodes started downloading successfully (I did choose the option to search for monitored episodes when I added it) but several of them just say "Episode missing from disk" with the ⚠️ symbol next to them. When I click the "Search Monitored" button, nothing changes and nothing is added.

What's going on here? If I click on "Interactive Search", there are results that are returned and they don't have the red exclamation point and, as far as I can tell, they fit my criteria.

Why would some of these download and not others and why aren't the episodes with results downloading when I click "Search Monitored"? Am I misunderstanding the way this is supposed to work? I've never had this happen before but this never became an issue until I had to recreate the container.

Apologies if this isn't the best place to post this...

I'm not able to receive phone calls anymore after updating to iOS17. My friend told me that they tried calling me 4 times and got a busy signal every time. I told them that my phone never rang (which is true) but, when I went to my missed calls, it shows 4 missed calls from them. I asked them to call me again (while I was looking at my phone) and the notification banner for the call comes in for a split second but is "greyed out" and says their name and then "User busy" before disappearing.

I've restarted my phone, checked to make sure I didn't accidentally block them, added them to my Favorites, and even had someone else try to call me and all result in the same thing. My computer rings via FaceTime when some people call me but it seems like my phone won't ring at all and everyone just gets a busy signal.

Any ideas? Anyone else getting this after the update? I've searched for a while now but every reference to "User busy" is old and just says something to the effect of "restart your phone" or "change your settings to allow unknown/junk callers". This isn't either of those things, though.

I just swiped accidentally from the top of the screen and uncovered an off-screen ad in Voyager. What is this and is this disclosed anywhere?

Edit: Why is this post being downvoted? This is a legitimate bug/issue. What an unwelcoming community…
