I love my Kobo Clara. I've read more in the past few years of ownership than I did the 10 years before. Plus I have a calibre-web server that it syncs with so I don't have to manually move things over.

It was ok. It felt like it needed something. The basic ship was clunky feeling to fly and the weapons felt mediocre. The enemies didn't feel fun to fight either. But it was fun with my friends. But I think that was spending time with them more than the game was. I walked away from the game not disliking it, but not having any particular interest in playing any more of it.

Even just the RTS games that never came out. Northgard is great on the deck!

Pretty much. If it works for the steam deck it should work for the desktop. There are some exceptions for some brand new games. But if you want to wait a week or two for new releases usually it's fine.

Get some Darn Tough socks! I've been using them for years and outside of the initial purchase I've been rocking free socks!

I have a sit/stand desk and it's great. I feel like my posture has improved and being on my feet all day bothers me less. I really want to get a small treadmill so I can walk and work. That would be the dream.

They do. Just not 3rd party.

I'm loving it. But most of the people I talk to were put off by eternal. It's more of that Soni can get people not picking it up for it's very expensive cost currently.

People are upset about doom. I'm enjoying it, the engine is crazy cool and I love how badass I feel playing it. I get that it's not a super long game, but I'm ok with that. I like just hopping in, murdering demons and being badass for short periods of time.

I played a couple matches and it was fun, but nothing I felt like playing more of. I feel like unless they get a huge influx of players buying the game they are just shooting themselves in the foot.

[–] _spiffy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I'm really looking forward to this. I loved the world of control and really want to experience more on wacky stuff in it.

I've been buying $80 for years thanks to being Canadian!

 

New clan and lots of visual changes.

I'm having a weird issue with baldurs gate 3 and am hoping I can get some advice.

The launcher works without issue but the game itself never opens a window. I can hear it launch and play, but it never actually renders a window. Even in gamescope its just a black screen.

I am using AMD+Mesa with Sway as my WM. if I do a swaymsg -t get_tree it shows the launcher window, but nothing for the game window so its not on a different or invisible workspace.

anyone else experiencing an issue like this?

EDIT: I managed to resolve this issue with Steam flatpak. Odd.

 

I really like how with Sync I can have a Hide button available on the card. Please let us customize the card buttons! (if it does exist I haven't found how to do it yet).

 

Hi Folks,

I am going to be participating in Extra Life this year and created a script that will flip my monitor upside down for 5 minutes randomly. I am looking for some more ideas for simple scripts or commands that could be entertaining for some donation incentives.

As a side not I am currently using EndeavourOS and Sway.

 

My wife and I are looking forward to learning how to maintain our starter and bake with it!

 

I went here with my 6 year old daughter and my parents this past weekend. I grew up coming here with my dad and it feels really special to share it with my daughter. I can't wait to go back.

 

There are apparently known problems (GitHub Issues #5807) in both Edge and Firefox with this newly released browser extension update (2023.7.0), which should hopefully be fixed soon.

 

I was born in 1989 and the math is HARD some days.

 

I generally find Ebay/Etsy are the most cost efficient. Especially when starting off, but I do like supports the artists myself. So shows can be a good place.

Where do you find patches?
