I used to be really into theming. But now, the default Breeze and Adwaita look good enough that I haven’t bothered wanting to change them in a couple years.

That and thmes always appeared to be some degree of “broken” that I just don’t bother anymore.

I do always change the cursor to the black Adwaita one, even on KDE. It just feels right to me.

When I did still use themes, Numix, Arc Dark, and whatever “flat” themes that I could find were my favorites.

Circles, the thing I hit accidentally when blocking a corporate account

fr! I’ll start calling it “X” when he calls his daughter Vivian

All the NMS comparisons that I’ve heard are also making me want to play it again too, lol

a bunch of records from a retired local DJ ended up scattered in thrift stores around my area; I ended up getting a bunch of really good condition 80s disco and funk 12in singles

They do. sorta. It’s definitely possible to put something like Starfield on a dual layer BDROM, probably even uncompressed! But then load times would be fucking crazy because BD is an order of magnitude slower than an SSD.

Distributing install files for a day 1 version of a game and using the disc as an auth key, (which is what they did last gen iirc) is still possible.

I never went to the homepage unless I accidentally landed there because of autofill. I normally just go straight to subscriptions. There are still recommendations under videos, so I check that out every so often, mostly because my secondary monitor is portrait and I can see them under the video

I disagree. I think it’s mostly a combination of baby duck syndrome and the perceived difficulty of gaming (unless you’re a kid who “needs” to play the flavor of the month over-monetized multiplayer trash)

Why tho? The Venn diagram of people who use Teams and enjoy it enough to use outside of the workplace and PC gamers is two separate circles.

It’s a combination of Nvidia not supporting mixed refresh rates and mixed DPIs until like really recently and the open source driver not being nearly as performant as the closed one.

Most of my time on Reddit was because of the constant flow of actually new content and “new to me” content (binging subreddits that I had just found out about).

Lemmy only has a constant flow of actually new content and it’s slower.

I’ve been switching between Arch and Debian for the past 5ish years. I don’t really notice much of a difference, other than Arch has updates much more often than Debian Testing usually does. I like how meta-packages in Arch are more minimal than the ones in Debian, but that’s a very minor thing.

Higher pay and a housing market carsh

I’ve been running mine on a cheap (€4/mo) VPS from Hetzner since my ISP doesn’t let me host from a residential IP.

My NAS is loud enough without lemmy; hate to see how loud it’d get with it

They were, but the porn wasn’t popular until after Fallout 3 and is mostly based on their Fallout 3 and 4 models.

I joined Beehaw first because I like their philosophy, the admins seem pretty level headed, and they’re decently large. But they defederated from/were never federated with a couple of instances that I was interested in, so I made my own instance and am here now.

It doesn’t really matter as long as you’re on something with recentish packages.

I’ve been on Arch for the past year or so and it’s been working pretty well.

I’ve used openSUSE, Void, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu in the past for gaming and they’ve all been decent.

I’m just on Arch because I wanted a newer kernel and graphics drivers than Debian.

I’ve been distrohopping for the decade+ I’ve been using Linux. Keep coming back to Arch. Once I get the initial install done, everything works and I don’t need to touch anything.

The plight of the adult gamer with an amount of disposable income. Too many games to play and not enough time.

I get stuck with those problems most of the time I open my Steam library. Too many games that I haven’t started. Too many that I haven’t finished. Yet I still find myself rotating between the same 2 or 3.

I’m not a streamer; I feel that people watching me play would be waaaaay too much stres.

Elon Musk and I’d post “im deleting this entire site, sayonara you weeaboo shits”
