Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of June 2nd
  • Roblox with my son. Love it.

  • [Match Thread] Coventry vs. Manchester United | FA Cup Semi Final
  • Yet another setup as our back four. Casemiro as a CB pairing with Maguire? I'm too afraid to watch.

  • [Match thread] Manchester United v Fulham - Premier League 24.02.24
  • Did Forson get lost in the player tunnels or someone notice if he got out on the field?

  • First game you played
  • Prob some racing game on Commodore 64. Or Mario on NES. It's hard to remember.

    On PC though, Little Big Adventure 2.

  • Introducing Steam Deck OLED - November 16
  • I bought mine from uPerfect. Excellent quality. I wouldn't look beyond their brand. They are awesome.

  • launching titanfall through steam opens an ea app installer and then immediately crashes
  • You need to search for the fix. Done it myself once. I believe there are executables for this. EA messed up their launcher when the remade it a while back. One of the things that need fixing is getting the correct font on your device. It's pretty fucked up.

  • How do you moderate yourself?
  • I'm not overweight either. But I wouldn't wanna look at the inside of my body. I'm probably an overweight person I skinny body. Mental health is a big thing. As in having a fresh mind, able to focus on semi mundane tasks, keeping a good temper, etc. If you manage to gain just a small amount of muscle every year that's just a bonus. Glad my post made some sense to you. Tried summerising the things I think matters for everyone regardless of individual situation. Stay good!

  • Introducing Steam Deck OLED - November 16
  • Sure! Seems my screen isn't up for sale anymore. This is the closest I could find without diving too deep: https://a.co/d/01D6h52

    Portable, built in battery, plug into the deck with USB-C and you even get touch. Chose if the screen should charge the Deck while plugged in or not. Mostly just plug it with hdmi though and play Mario Kart and Kirby with my son. Has Samsung Dex-support so with one of those phones plugged in you get a laptop like experience. Truly a great buy. Can't recommend enough.

    Do some research though. Make sure you get a screen with touch and battery to get the most out of the screen (touch isn't good enough to play mobile games but good enough to navigate menus, use YouTube, etc). Stay in the range of 14-16" for it to be portable. And check that your phone is compatible with the screen you buy. Also check the ms so the game experience is good.

    Now you can play 4p Mario Kart on mount everest.

  • Introducing Steam Deck OLED - November 16
  • Very, very good. Pricing seems okay as well. Glad the specs are the same so games will work on both versions. Saving straight performance upgrades for the next version seems like the right move.

    Very interested in upgrading but I can't justify it to my wallet. I love my Steam Deck as is and often use a portable external screen with it anyhow.

  • MMO players blast "disgusting" $90 early access charge for WoW: The War Within - "We must say early and loudly that this is not okay"
  • Your points doesn't make his points invalid. And the other way arround.

  • Turn out you can have nice wifi spend afterall
  • Mesh routers are nothing to recommend lightly. Most are a complete headache to set up.

  • How do you moderate yourself?
  • Multiplayer games in general are hard to regulate. MMO's, Mobas, FPS, ARPGs. This games are designed to swallow weeks of your life before you react. When I stopped playing these type of games it didn't become as much of a problem to regulate my gaming.

    Write down what an optimal day for someone your age, in your living area, looks like. Weekly activities. Exercise. Etc. Start implementing the we things into your life at a pace that isn't to slow but not too fast either.

    Set goals what most of your days should consist of. Most days. Don't set routines that are too nailed down. Don't go overboard. Excersise three times a week? Two days need to be back to back but the third can be anytime during the week? Things like that.

    Work this into your routine. Take one step at a time.

    If I regret one thing at the age of 37 it would be not having some kind of exercise in my weekly routine from my early 20s. I would be in sooo much better shape, have more energy, be more alert.

    Balance in everything is key.

  • Game prices are too low, says Capcom exec
  • I'm still puzzled you compare soldering circuits 30 years ago with pressing a disk today. Games took a year to one and a half with about 15 people to develop compared to teams of 100 working for years. Like I stated earlier, the electrical bills alone to create the new AAA titles today are probably equal to the entire development budget of the AAA titles 30 years ago. However we twist it, we pay the same or less for games now than we did 30 years ago. A lot of games are even free now if you don't fall into the pit of buying skins. We are in a good place.

  • For all the doubters that Linux gaming is smoother and faster.
  • Depends. I need Parsec as host. Or something equivalent. And I couldn't find it. So I'm stuck where I am.

  • For all the doubters that Linux gaming is smoother and faster.
  • This went south, east, north and west at the same time. Calm down people :)

  • PS5 Slim Requires an Internet Connection For Its Detachable Disc Drive
  • No one was complaining. At all. Yet quite the few of you force this 'just get a pc' argument from nowhere. Yes this thing requires an Internet connection when installed. You claiming that your pc doesnt? Nothing here is worse.

  • PS5 Slim Requires an Internet Connection For Its Detachable Disc Drive
  • I've been a pc gamer for almost 30 years but I can also recognise consoles have their place. Some people wanna sit in the sofa and play on their 70" TV with a gamepad with as little care as possible. Sometimes with a friend or with family (even if it's not as common as with previous gen consoles). Price don't bother them much. Playing Smash or other co-op games with 4 people on an emulator is not as user friendly as you might think. Controllers sometimes connect weirdly etc.

  • For all the doubters that Linux gaming is smoother and faster.
  • Linux gaming is a little hit or miss. Some games have a performance boost. Some are about the same. And some games perform worse. This is the reality. And this is what should be expected.

    Your post is still true for your specific hardware and this specific game, with these specific drivers, but let's not go crazy here. Linux is good, yes. Fantastic even, on the Steam Deck. On PC most people are better off sticking with Windows, especially if you play a couple of competitive multiplayer titles. Or if you want to stream games from one device to another in house. Or if you have limited time and just want shit to work. Linux is getting closer, but the out of the box experience need to become way better and I don't doubt it will sooner rather than later.

  • Keyboard doesnt autoshow

    Keyboard doesn't autoshow when I reply, post comments or posts. Only formatting options are showing to add photos, links, Bold, Italic and the three dot menu. I have to tap the middle of the screen once, which seems like a small issue but it's actually extremely annoying. I'm on a Pixel 7 if that helps.

    Coloring in dark mode

    Hello!

    First of all thanks for the awesome work on the app! It only took a few days for it to become the best Lemmy client out there! And it's still getting better day by day. Good job!

    I would love to be able to tone down the agressive colors in dark mode. Right now I feel attacked by everything blue, red, green, orange or purple. In my opinion pastelles would be a lovely addition. Or just an RGB slider and we make our own. Thoughts?

    Also Android (Beta) mode in app only seem to have true black currently?

    Thanks in advance!

    Just throwing a coin down the wishing well that Boost offers the ability to categorize saved posts and comments. It was always my gripe with Reddit that I couldn't find that post or that comment because I couldn't categorize them.

    Any chance?
