I'm still running a Ryzen 5 3600 and a 3060ti. I can't afford to upgrade right now, so if my PC takes a shit during tarrif hell I'm going to use my Steam Deck as my main PC until living becomes affordable again, then maybe someday a new PC will.

It's kinda like each Mii is a little pet you indirectly take care of. You feed them, give them entertainment, decorate them and their homes, and they ask you advice on relationships and such. There's also fun little mini games to play with them! Highly recommend if you like pet simulators and the like!

Oh it's because I don't have a proper HDMI switch, I'm using the three inputs on one monitor, so unless I switch the output manually thru the monitor, it won't automatically switch to the console. The solution for this is to select Laptop screen under the win+p menu in KDE

Did you find any other comparable solutions out of curiosity? Annoying, but obviously not a deal breaker to make me go back to Windows!

And I used to solve this back in the day with a KDE Widget that added Display Profiles as a function and I could press a button to switch them on the fly, unfortunately it hasn't been updated in five years and it only works on X11 and not Wayland.

The thing that's fucking me up in the last month since I switched is the fact that when I press Windows Key + P to switch Displays to just my second monitor (when I want to use my consoles), switching it back causes KDE to count the monitors as separated for some reason. Like they are virtually spaced apart, so I'm stuck in one monitor instead of being able to use both. It also resets my second monitor to the primary one for some reason. Very strange, never an issue on Windows.

I ran my Pebble Time into the ground, so I'm hyped as fuck for this. I bought it in my early highschool years and wore it nearly daily until last year when the rumble motor finally gave out. Still wear it from time to time, but it not buzzing for notifications is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

I bought a replacement and it's so pristine I didn't want to risk slowly damaging it at work, but now I'm charging that bitch up and running it into the ground until new Pebble comes out. Thanks for sharing OP, this news made me week!

Bonus, here's what mine looked like as of a few years ago right when the vibration went out. You can see I slapped a skin on it to cover up the bezel scratches, but the screen still looks totally fine!

Evoland games are a neat commodity. The whole "game grows in complexity" gimmick is pretty well done, and their chock full of references to games of the past. Definitely not the peeps I'd expect to make a massive space game that was actually good though.

If I had to pick some of my favorites:

  • BuzzKill, Gives you total control over your notifications. I use it to auto clear apps that think they need to have a persistent notification like VPNs, Smart Watches, etc.
  • DuckDuckGo, For their very useful, (In my opinion) app tracking protection proxy that they have built into the app.
  • GAMEYE, For tracking my physical games collection and my extensive Amiibo collection.
  • Grayjay & Revanced , For when I want to watch YouTube on mobile.
  • Image Toolbox, Great for doing a whole bunch of different things. Works especially well for image related tasks, but does more stuff than that too.
  • LocalSend, Airdrop but cross platform and open source. Really good.
  • Privacy, An app that links to your bank account and lets you make virtual cards to obfuscate your real debit card. Super useful as well for setting up with subscriptions so you can just turn the individual card off instead of having to go find the subscription cancel option for each service.
  • p!n, A very simple app that adds a quick actions menu button to pin a notification. I use it to essentially add reminders and notes to my notifications real quick.
  • rdx, A simple Reddit viewer for when I have to view a Reddit link for any reason. shudders
  • Shortcut Maker, Super useful app for when I'm not using Niagara Launcher. Let's you make home screen app like shortcuts for a wide variety of things, including going to specific settings, launching specific sets of apps, and way more. Used to be my favorite app before I got into Niagara.
  • URLCheck, Acts as a middle man after I click a link, telling me a bunch of info about it before letting me pick which browser I want to open it in.
  • Niagara Launcher, my launcher of choice. Not for everyone, but I have found it makes navigating my phone super fast. I have tried so many different ones, but the fact that the app drawer is always on open on the home screen and I can navigate to each letter quickly made it the best for me.

Anyway yeah, those are some of the ones I use frequently. Sorry for not linking to them, but it would have taken forever lol.

Just started using Image Toolbox a few weeks ago, shits fucking dope.

Not original commenter, but I got the hell off of Swiftkey after Microsoft bought it for privacy purposes. That could be why.

Had this phone, Google pushed an OS update that caused the bootloader to get corrupted on a factory reset. Tried to tell me I had to pay them to get the motherboard replaced even though their faulty ass update broke the phone. Three months out of warranty. Never buying a pixel again.

 

Hello folks! Due to some of the serious AI pushes Notion has been doing recently, I have been trying to seriously migrate my video game tracker database over to work on Obsidian. I have most of the features from my Notion one ported over, but I can't for the life of my figure out how to use the Meta Binds plugin to replicate this particular button from my Notion database entries.

I know Meta Bind can be pretty technical, but I'm curious if anyone has any idea how I can replicate this functionality within Obsidian. My goal is essentially to:

  1. Be able to press the button, adding the current date to a property of the document I have labeled "last".
  2. Add a bullet point with today's date below the button, creating a list of dates that I pressed the button as I press it.

Thanks for reading my post! Any help is appreciated! I've been pouring over the Meta Bind docs to try and figure this out but so far I've had no luck.

Hello all! My buddy and I finally finished up Baldur's Gate 3 this week and we are not left with a giant co-op game shaped whole in our hearts. It was such an incredible experience and it was truly even more fun running through it together. We are excited to hop into another game, but we have no idea what to play. We've played a lot, and some games we've finished or tried recently included:

  • Borderlands 1, 2, and 3
  • Minecraft, Terraria, Vintage Story
  • Raft, 7 Days to Die
  • A Way Out, It Takes Two

I'm posting here today to ask if any of you have some suggestions for co-op games we could check out! I've Googled for suggestions to no end and 90% of what's there is games we've already played. If anyone has any recommendations for us they would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

~ Hyrulian

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!! I'm going to compile a list and check them all out one by one!

Hey folks, it's been a while! I'm here today with a giveaway for a key to one of my favorite games ever made, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut. I am so excited to share this amazing game with whoever wins this giveaway! Be warned however, there are a few things you might want to consider before entering:

  • This game features some very intense content that some people might find disturbing or at the very least depressing. It also has some humor and imagery that some may find offensive.

  • There is some serious controversy surrounding the creation of this game and things that happened afterwards that lead to multiple followup projects being canceled and a very messy split with the original concept's creator and the company behind the game. Read more about this here if this is something that may concern you and sway if you want to play the game.

With that stuff out of the way, what is Disco Elysium? According to the Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/632470/Disco_Elysium__The_Final_Cut/

A groundbreaking role playing game. You’re a detective with a unique skill system at your disposal and a whole city to carve your path across. Interrogate unforgettable characters, crack murders or take bribes. Become a hero or an absolute disaster of a human being.

Honestly in my opinion though, this doesn't even begin to describe the chaotic intrigue that this game is. I highly recommend this one if you played Baldur's Gate 3 and want to play something similar, albeit a lot different in themes and gameplay. This is also quite a bit shorter.

Anyway, so how do you enter? All you have to do is:

  • Comment telling me what games you've been playing recently or what other
  • Wait till Friday, June 28th at 10am CST to see if you won! A random comment selector tool will decide if you win. If you do I'll comment on your reply to this post telling you to check your DMs where you will find the key to the game!
  • (Optional) Share this post with a friend or fellow lemming to let them get a change to try and win this gem.

Thanks for reading the post and thanks for entering the giveaway! Good luck folks! If you have any spare Steam keys lying around you want to get rid of, this is a great place to do so. DM me if you have any questions!

~ Hyrulian

Unfortunately the first two people I tried to send the key to did not respond to my message. I'll be trying some other folks in the coming days! Thanks!

 
 
 

Hello everyone! Things have slowed down quite a bit over on Gift of Gaming, so I thought I would post about it on here to get some more eyes on it. We are a community dedicated to hosting Video Game giveaways! You can come join for a chance to win some games, or if you're feeling generous you could always host a giveaway too!

Right now I am personally doing a giveaway for Doom Eternal, and I hope that by giving away a bit more of a substantial release I can bring in some new people to the community. A lot of our previous giveaways had no one enter, so we had to close them and keep the unredeemed keys.

If hosting or winning giveaways for video games sounds interesting to you, we'd love to have you join in. Many more giveaways are planed for the future. I have 300 keys that I have been holding onto from Humble Bundles over the years, so there just might be a game in there you might want. Thanks for listening!!

Back in May of 2022, I was bored so I decided to boot up Brickadia and create some pixel art of the map of Pallet Town. It took me a few minutes to find the map of the town online, load it up in a pixel art software, and recreate the color pallet (pun intended) in Brickadia. Over the next hour I proceeded to place each of the blocks down to perfectly match the pixel art in the original games. After finishing that I was thinking about how it would be neat to make the pixel art 3D.

I spent the next four hours systematically making 3D voxel models in Brickadia of all of the objects in the town, filling out the town as I went. I had finished everything except the patch of tall grass and Professor Oak's Lab before having to close the game to go to work. I would then forget about the entire project until today, July 28th 2023, when I accidentally stumbled across the files on my PC.

I spent only another few hours making Oak's Lab and the tall grass models, placing them in the scene and finishing the town. I can't believe I forgot about the project!! It was a lot of fun and really not too bad for only taking about six hours or so. The hardest part was definitely the water area, because I had to decide how to make the 2D texture of the rock 3D while maintaining the pattern on all sides to keep it looking seamless. I think the finished version looks pretty acceptable, but there where some ugly versions in there at one point.

That's about it. Thanks for listening to my story about my fun little day project.
