I also find stress relief games. Mindless 3rd person action games for me. Mad Max was great because I could drive around picking fights or crashing stuff. The Batman Arkham games and the Shadow of Mordor games are other great examples for me.

Yeah, so for me it would be most Switch games through emulation (such as Captain Toad, 3D World and Odyssey) and P3R/P5R.

I have not found any relaxing "cozy" games that work for me. Nothing has really grabbed my attention enough to stick with.

I checked ‘cozy’ games but like you, they don’t seem to be my type of games.

I’m truly debating about the Deck but €670 is a lot to invest when being uncertain. Also what if it wouldn’t fix the exhaustion issue of screens and desks.

How long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment.

For about 2 months and a few days now. So I think, I already adjusted to the changes.

School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people.

Definitely! It was tough the first few weeks, lol.

Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.

At the moment I don’t yet, I purposely asked if I could work full time at office. I still live with parents and the distractions are a bit much. Might try working from home sooner or later though.

Apple has teased with making the iPhone-as-a-service, meaning you lease it instead of owning it.

I really like iPhones (more so iOS), especially with sideloading now.

But if leasing becomes norm and we can’t purchase it or get it through subscription of service (2 years with Vodafone and then the phone is yours kind of thing). I’ll just purchase an older Samsung. Then I’ll take the loss and struggle for a few months with the interface and all that.

Probably;

  • I’m proud. You proved everyone that you were able to do everything, they said you could not (education-wise).
  • Don’t be afraid to change jobs, get the one that’s better for your future.

Just use Real-Debrid with Stremio and you can toss out every streaming service after that.

I don’t see the problem with having both- they fill different niches.

Money. Steam Deck OLED costs in my country €700, Switch OLED €350-360 and the Switch 2 will be around the €560-600.

steam deck, I’d be really sad to not have any Mario kart, Zelda, etc…

I’m so close on purchasing a Steam Deck OLED to game in weekends or in bed after full 5 days behind a desk job. But I’m always worried that these games won’t work well with emulations. I’ve been researching like crazy but keep reading different things.

And spending €700 with uncertainty is not my favorite thing to do.

Unfortunately I don’t have knowledge about Android tweaks but I’m almost certain there is one.

Best is not to use the platform but if you do, then the best thing to do is; use a tweaked version.

One that removes the ads and gives more settings to tweak.

For iOS you can check EthMods Telegram channel and find the tweaked version and then install them through SideStore sideloading.

I’m wondering how Tumblr is a safe space while it’s still filled with porn-bots. I tried the platform several times and no matter what I do, I always get smacked with some random NSFW content.

When Lemmy first got popular and all debates happened and such, I kept debating politely while they kept bashing, insulting and all that. I’m over that.

When I see such opinions now, I block them. They are seriously not worth my time, energy and effort. Let them wallow in their misery.

They won’t realize it but everything bad they hope happening to others will certainly bite them back sooner or later. The moment they do not fit their (own) ideology of fascism just a tiny bit, it’ll bite them back.

Seemed fun but I noped out of everything the moment, I heard the prices.

Steam Deck OLED + Emulations is the way to go.

It's crazy how strong this guy's compulsion to steal art was.

Yeah! Even after

::: spoiler Spoiler he got caught once in Switzerland and Anne-Catherine wanted him to stop. He continued.

What amazed me the most is the way he got caught. Anne-Catherine told him explicitly to steal with gloves on but he didn’t listen and poof he got caught the moment, he didn’t do it.

EDIT: I genuinely hate how Lemmy’s spoiler-tag system work. Can never get it to work decently.
