  • I don't think that's a healthy way to be.

  • Tooth fairy??
  • My Daughter has lost 8 teeth so far(she is 7) and we give her a toonie($2) per tooth. However, when she lost two in one day(she was really nervous about losing the second one so I said "the more teeth under the pillow the better the bounty from the fairy" we gave her $5).

    She is a light sleeper, so we worried, but kids even the light sleepers sleep through things like quietly reaching under their pillow. If they do start to wake up, just give them a kiss and say you wanted a midnight kiss.

    For one tooth we forgot and she woke up at 4:45 in the morning and checked to find her tooth there and we calmed her down and said she must be at the end of the tooth fairys loop tonight, and she would be fine but she had to go back to sleep so the tooth fairy could do it! Then when I was tucking her back in I quickly swapped the tooth for the coin and she didnt even notice until she woke up.

    Also always have the coin/money on hand. My wife usually carries the cash and we were camping without my wife and my daughter lost her tooth, thank goodness my parents were there and had cash!

  • Games you want on the deck
  • I would just like to see more games be a bit friendlier with settings. Give me some real potato settings or focus a bit more on optimization so I can play stuff without having to futz with settings so much.

  • Apex Legends is taking away its support for the Steam Deck and Linux
  • Nope. They had anti cheat that supported it, but they experienced higher issues with cheating via linux than elsewhere. Which sucks. People who cheat suck.

  • Apex Legends is taking away its support for the Steam Deck and Linux
  • It is still a loss for linux gamers.

  • What is your linux backup strategy?
  • Dump configs to backup drive. Pray to the machine spirit that things don't blow up. Only update when I remember. I'm a terrible admin for my own stuff.

  • Day 86 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • I've always loved the idea of this game but always struggled with it. But in feel like playing with friends would make a difference.

  • Am i the only one who feels like it's the same handful of users posting and commenting on lemmy?
  • I try and post, but I feel like I'm always slow to the uptake and people already say the things I have to say. But I do make sure I vote as much as I can.

  • Your Most Frustrating Configuration Experience?
  • I use sway, and for the life of me can not get steam link to display my games. I have tried so many things. If I use flatpak steam it works, but it breaks remote play together, which works fine not flatpak! I can get them both to work with KDE Wayland as well. It's frustrating but also not a huge deal.

  • Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home
  • I use my personal computer as a work PC. But I run a VM for the work stuff. It's great.

  • Youtube increases Family Plan price by 56%
  • This is the same for me and my family. It's such a great feature to have and worth not seeing ads. I feel like supporting the platforms I use is important to me.

  • Steam Families is here
  • This is a great feature! I can finally have both my kids play whatever game they want at the same time.

  • To those who hate anime, why do you hate it?
  • Hate is a strong word. But I have never really cared for it. The content I have watched felt like it was the trillby wearing "um actually" kid writing his own edgey story. And something about the yelling outbursts I have seen a few times make me want to curl up and die.

  • How much do y'all spend on coffee a month?
  • My wife works at Starbucks and we have an espresso machine, so not a lot.

  • Anyone has been using Wayland with zero issues?
  • I have been using Sway for ~2 years now without issues. AMD CPU and GPU. I am not super particular about input lag and stuff, but I haven't noticed any issues.

    I have a VM that runs windows for my work stuff and it has no issues I play video games via proton without issues either, other than having to muck around with a few titles launch options to unset my SDL video driver I stream to twitch periodically when I am bored and it works well by using the obs vkcapture plugin

  • Sharing A Bed
  • Look, as the apparent blanket hog in my relationship, if you can't defend your blanket it will be taken by the stronger will. Same for side size. My wife sleep persona favours pillows and bed space, my sleep persona demands blanket. it works for us.

  • [Discussion] What games have you been playing on your deck? - September 2024
  • I keep getting lost! But then I find secrets I walked by and vacuums I can pet so it's worth it. But the colours can be really difficult. I find I use the flashlight quite a bit while exploring. I've been playing half on the OLED steam deck and the other half on my PC(standard LED) and the colours seem better on the steam deck.

    Baldurs Gate 3 - No game window

    I'm having a weird issue with baldurs gate 3 and am hoping I can get some advice.

    The launcher works without issue but the game itself never opens a window. I can hear it launch and play, but it never actually renders a window. Even in gamescope its just a black screen.

    I am using AMD+Mesa with Sway as my WM. if I do a swaymsg -t get_tree it shows the launcher window, but nothing for the game window so its not on a different or invisible workspace.

    anyone else experiencing an issue like this?

    EDIT: I managed to resolve this issue with Steam flatpak. Odd.

    Request: Customize buttons on cards

    I really like how with Sync I can have a Hide button available on the card. Please let us customize the card buttons! (if it does exist I haven't found how to do it yet).

    Simple bash scripts or commands to mess with user

    Hi Folks,

    I am going to be participating in Extra Life this year and created a script that will flip my monitor upside down for 5 minutes randomly. I am looking for some more ideas for simple scripts or commands that could be entertaining for some donation incentives.

    As a side not I am currently using EndeavourOS and Sway.

    Spectrum Lake, British Columbia

    I went here with my 6 year old daughter and my parents this past weekend. I grew up coming here with my dad and it feels really special to share it with my daughter. I can't wait to go back.

    There are apparently known problems (GitHub Issues #5807) in both Edge and Firefox with this newly released browser extension update (2023.7.0), which should hopefully be fixed soon.

    Where do you get your patches from?

    I generally find Ebay/Etsy are the most cost efficient. Especially when starting off, but I do like supports the artists myself. So shows can be a good place.

    Where do you find patches?
