I love the squeaky gate call from Blue Jays, so much energy goes into this one call, they often bob up and down as if they're excited or furious when they make it.

Depends how you define "HQ" and most people can't seem to universally agree on this because of visual acuity, display being used, viewing conditions, viewing distance, etc etc. "LQ" or dogshit quality is easy, you just set a JPG or WebP image with a quality parameter of 0 and ~100% of humans would agree that it's awful. WebP is a very interesting image codec because it can, without intermediate formats, use:
A) YCbCr pixel format with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. This is the one image photographers get upset about because raw camera images can be 4:2:2 or even 4:4:4 JPGs (set to 100 quality).
B) RGB (+ alpha). This is the exact same thing being used in PNG.
You rarely hear about B until now because there used to be a serious security vulnerability so it was effective banned on the internet. It's been a few years since all the security patches got sent all over the world so it's pretty safe to use. This is also why things like JXL won't see widespread adoption until like 2030, there could be dangerous hidden security vulnerabilities especially since it's 10X as complex/more lines of code vs WebP.
Anyway umigalaxy seems to be one of the first websites that allows the usual boring YCbCr pixel format with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling but also the historically banned RGB (+ alpha) color space in Webp uploads. If the former isn't "HQ" enough for you then you can use the latter.

Probably not grim/dark enough for me tbh. I tend to enjoy more fantasy drama shows like Game of Thrones and Shogun.
Still, Peter Dinklage is in the show and the concept of serial killers being paid to kill people does intrigue me somewhat so I'll bookmark it.

How long until prices go down?

What do you think think of Star Citizen?
I know a lot of people would call it a scam, but I've never felt such a massive sense of scale in any other game

No widespread quick travel sucks if you have a job IRL tbh. The idea of becoming a space pirate is cool though.
