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!

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

[–] 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 4 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.

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 5 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!

 

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!

 

Thanks to GitHub user zoeyjodon for dropping this incredible 3ds fork for the Moonlight PC game streaming client. You can run this software on any hacked 3ds (though a new 3ds is recommended) to stream PC games from any PC to your 3ds. Although it's not super useful for most games since the 3ds has such a pitiful screen, this is still a really cool piece of homebrew and I imagine running retro games from later than the n64 era could be really sweet. Attached is a picture of me running Super Mario Sunshine through Dolphin on my PC being streamed. There is shockingly a very low level of latency at play here. Just wanted to shout out this cool project. Head to the GitHub page if you want to check it out!

 
 
 

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.
