If the series you're trying to pull is region locked then youtube-dl would need the VPN to get around the region locking, at least that has been my experience.
I have used youtube-dl with proton VPN and it works fine, I often have to use a US location to access a lot of stuff that Tubi doesn't offer in my country. You should be able to do the same.
For me personally, Velious was the last expansion that still felt like "classic" EverQuest. Luclin introduced some pretty significant changes such as The Nexus and The Bazaar, that for me really impacted how the game world felt. If Quarm is just up to Kunark then it would definitely be worth playing there as well.
Even without development skills, you can still contribute by helping develop and maintain good documentation for your favourite projects or helping with testing and bug reporting.
That was really good. It's something I hadn't given any thought to , but the fact that First Person Shooter didn't exist as a term when Doom released, it was interesting seeing the progression. I remember as a kid referring to Heretic and Hexen as Doom-clones, but wasn't really cognizant of the term as it fell out of use in favour of other descriptions.
The big issue for long term storage and exposure to moisture is hydrolysis, in which over time water molecules infiltrate and alter the polymer chains of the filament, causing the mechanical properties to degrade. Hydrolysis is, to the best of my knowledge, not reversible by simply driving the filament as the water molecules become incorporated into the polymer chain.
That said, simply storing your filament in your vacuum bags and tossing in some dessicant pouches before you seal it should drastically increase the time you can store filament before running the risk of it degrading noticeably.
Personally I just have a large plastic bin with a rechargeable dessicant device that keeps things relatively dry and I haven't had any issues storing filament long term.
As an Australian, why bother importing "y'all" when everyone is already "mate"?
