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.

The key for me has been finding a job I don't hate, and I don't have to take home with me. Don't get me wrong, I don't LOVE my job, it's not what I'd like to do for the rest of my life or anything, but it's decently manageable most days and I don't have any outside of hours responsibilities.

As an added bonus, I've always been a second shift person ever since highschool and it still works in my life right now. This allows me to spend the hours I have the most energy at home doing what I actually enjoy like my hobbies and such.

Thanks for sharing! In the future please refrain from posting the keys directly to help avoid automated bot claims. A good way to prevent this is posting the key minus one letter then typing the letter separately. Thank you!

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

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (6 children)

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!

Congrats! You've won the giveaway! Make sure you reply to my comment here to let me know you've claimed your key. I will be sending it to you via a PM here on lemmy! Thanks for participating in our community!

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.

[–] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Based. I really hope that it doesn't get overshadowed by the rumoured Oblivion remaster if it's real. You know Skyblivion would be way better anyway.

Happy new years folks!!

Thanks to everyone who has been participating in giveaways on the community in the last couple of months. Your participation is greatly appreciated, and as the sole mod of the community, it warms my heart to see so many people giving away great games.

Now for the matter at hand, I have a key for Superliminal, an excellent mind melting puzzle game up for grabs today. This game blew me away back when I played it in late 2020, and I recently snagged a spare key in a Humble Bundle, so I thought someone on our Lemmy community here might enjoy getting the chance to experience this gem as well.

Steam Store Page: Superliminal

Here's all you have to do to enter:

  • Comment on this post, and tell us what game you are the most excited to play in 2025. It could be one releasing, or one in your backlog that you plan to check out in that year.

I will randomly select a winner of this giveaway on January 7th, 2025 at 10am CST, so if you want a chance to win make sure you comment by then. Thanks again for participating in this little community and sharing the gift of games with everyone here on Lemmy. More giveaways from me coming soon!

~Hyrulian

Congrats to @Kory@lemmy.ml for winning the copy of the game! Thanks to everyone else who participated as well!

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.

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 folks! Mod team here! (Just me right now lol.)

I thought it would be fun for the community to be able to pick what icon and banner we use to decorate our page. In this thread, we are going to vote on the images you think should represent us. For the original icon and banner images I just went back through my Midjourney generation history and picked a few cool looking images, so I figure they are overdue for being replaced anyway. I'm sure you folks have far better ideas and cooler images that we could be using instead.

Here's how to we will run the vote:

  • The most upvoted reply with a proposed icon image will be set to the community's icon.
  • The most upvoted reply with a proposed banner image will be set to the community's banner.
  • I will periodically be checking back on this post and updating the images, so feel free to enter at any time. Whatever image has the highest votes at the time I check will replace the current image.

Some things to keep in mind:

  • NSFW images are not allowed for the icon or banner.
  • Please only submit a maximum of one icon and one banner at a time. If you want to submit a new icon or banner, please delete your old reply and make a new one.
  • If you want to submit images for both the icon and the banner, please create separate replies. Replies with more than one image WILL NOT be considered.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns in regards to how we are operating this vote. Thanks for visiting the community!!

Hey there Naruto fans!! Want a game about Naruto!? Here's the game I'm peddling today:

Naruto to Baruto: Shinobi Striker

I gotta be honest, I've never seen an episode of Naruto in my life. I assume someone out there on Lemmy has, (Seems pretty likely) so I'm here today to giveaway this game. Seems to be some kind of action fighting PVP game. It could be pretty neat!!

To enter, please do the following:

  • In three words, please summarize Naruto for me. I want to know what it's all about.
  • Make sure you're subscribed to our Community, so you don't miss future giveaways.
  • (Optional) Tell any friends you might have that like Naruto that I'm giving this game away. If you don't have any friends, I'm sorry I asked.

The first person to successfully comment on this post will get the game since no one has entered past the deadline.

Hey there folks! Time for another giveaway!! This week I'm giving out a copy of:

Into the Radius VR

If you haven't played it before, Into the Radius is a virtual reality survival game HEAVILY inspired by the STALKER series. The general idea is, you enter the nuclear reaction zone and you have to complete quests and collect resources while surviving the horrific anomalies that live in the area. I personally find this game to be really spooky and stressful, so keep that in mind when entering. That being said, I love the style and the mechanics! There's even a whole system where you have to physically clean and maintain your weapons or they could jam in the moments you need them the most!

Here's the steps you have to follow to enter this giveaway:

  • You MUST have a VR Headset compatible with Steam VR. I couldn't find a reliable resource online listing all compatible models so I highly recommend you verify that your headset works before entering.
  • Reply to this post, sharing what your current favorite VR game is.
  • Wait until Friday, July 14th at around 10am CST. I'm extending this giveaway out for the whole week to allow as many VR gamers to get the chance to enter as possible. Update: Extending the giveaway out for now. I'll try again next Friday instead! Share with your friends that have VR!!

Thanks for entering the giveaway! Remember to follow the steps to enter the giveaway so you don't end up with a key for a game you can't even enjoy. Shout out to everyone who has participated in the giveaways on this community so far!

Edit: Two weeks passed and nobody entered so I'm closing the giveaway. I'll try again later!!

 

I've noticed Lemmy.world is having significant struggle with posting and loading content in the last few days. This is likely due to the influx of users after "that one other platform" did the bad thing. wink wink

For the time being, I'd encourage anyone running giveaways to extend their open for entries window by a little bit to allow more folks to enter. I had a hard enough time as is trying to reply to the winners of a few of my giveaways, so I'd imagine we will have people who want to enter and participate that may run into the same issue. Thanks for considering!!

I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone for participating in the community thus far, especially those who have hosted giveaways. Keep Lemmy wholesome folks!! Feel free to reply to this post, (If you can...) if you have any questions about the rules of our community or any suggestions on how to make it better. Thanks!

-- Mod Team

(Just me as of right now lol)
