I’m not sure if I have bad luck but every time I’ve tried Ubuntu I’ve had stability issues. Constant crashes and things I’ve never run into in other distros.

It makes it hard for me to recommend it to new users.

I love Gnome. But I have a pretty simple workflow where I don’t use many applications. Generally I have a browser and terminal open and that’s it.

I do all my window management inside of Tmux, which is effectively my actual window manager.

I’ve tried KDE in the past but I’ve never liked how it feels like a stepping stone for the Windows interface – not a huge fan of pullout menus. I’ve been using Linux exclusively for almost twenty years so I don’t have any love for that UX.

I used to use a lot of simple/tiling window managers when I was younger and more patient, Gnome feels similar to those in how it has very few bells and whistles to get in your way.

If only maintaining extensions was easier, it feels like every major release breaks every extension for something stupid like renaming a constant. The Gnome team seems to put very little consideration into making the JS extension API stable.

I think that’s fair. Though I do think fizzling out is kind of in the spirit of a proper Lovecraft horror.

I don’t think it’s that short if you factor in the completion aspect. Getting both endings took me 7 hours, and completing will probably be another 12 if I choose to go that route.

For $25 I don’t think it’s that bad, but I’m pretty biased in preference of quality to quantity.

Been playing through Dredge this weekend, it’s an awesome game for Deck. Very pick up and play

While this is true, ProtonDB has even better numbers than Valve so it’s still a win for the topic.

From Kbin you can subscribe to whatever sublemmies you’re interested in as if they were magazines.

You could also do the same in reverse from Beehaw/Lemmy.world, but KBin currently doesn’t federate properly (due to Cloudflare DDoS protection.)

This looks super cool. I’m very excited to play it! Crazy to think it’s only a few months away.

I’m hoping it runs well on Steam Deck, seems like it’ll be a great game to play from the couch.

Note for others reading this (not applicable to OP) but glass protectors aren’t recommended for the 512GB model. It clashes with the anti-glare coating on the screen and causing the picture to become fuzzy.

If you’re on a 64/256 though definitely consider investing in a matte glass screen protector

If you like horror Outlast Trials is pretty good. It’s a little short on content (there are 9 unique missions) but the experience is well worth the money, I’m hoping they add new content soon.

Communities -> Search, make sure you are on ‘All’ (so you aren’t just searching communities local to your instance)

Seems like pathfinder.social is an instance dedicated to Pathfinder communities.

Edit: I should also add, there’s a pinned post “This community is not for support!”, there’s a specific [email protected] for these kinds of questions.

Beehaw had the same issue until a few hours ago so I assume it’s a load issue.

This isn’t the case for me. I have a bunch of lemmy.ml subscriptions pending, and none of them show up on my subscription feed. Hopefully this is fixed soon

I went to see the orchestral tour live in Chicago, it was amazing! Really fantastic soundtracks.

Jerboa has seen huge improvements in the last two weeks alone. I think there’s been a lot of traction on that front, and the dev seems particularly receive to feedback.

I’m enjoying Boltgun a lot, but the year was so jam packed I couldn’t fit it into my list.

If you liked Boltgun I’d recommend checking out Cultic: Chapter One, it’s probably my favorite overall ‘boomer shooter’.

Best:

• Hi-Fi Rush: Holy crap, I didn’t expect Shinji Mikami to make the best character action game since DMC3. From the soundtrack to the gameplay to the artstyle this game really stands out as something amazing.
• Pizza Tower: I’m gonna be honest, I missed the hype train for this game. I knew it was coming but I didn’t play any of the betas or follow the community, but once it released I was pleasantly surprised by its blazingly fast and addictive gameplay loop.
• RE4 Remake: I prefer the oldschool tank control RE games, but this is a pretty fantastic remake that stays pretty faithful to the original game.
• Dead Space Remake: GOATed. Reimagining the game as one giant open area instead of locked off mission zones really opens up the exploration aspect, and the random scares you’d run into while re-treading old environments caught me off guard every few hours.
• Street Fighter VI: I didn’t expect Capcom to hit it out of the park so hard. After the disaster of SFV leading to me quitting fighting games for a few years and eventually discovering Tekken/Guilty Gear I never thought I’d be back to playing good ol’ Street Fighter, but the systems are really well thought out and deceptively deep.

Disappointments:

• Diablo IV: I might be a little salty since it’s so recent but I’m not really jiving with D4 right now. The game feels like busy work, the scaling feels wrong and it just doesn’t have the QoL I expect from a billion dollar company. Maybe it’ll open up later, but with Path of Exile 2 around the corner I don’t need this game to be great.
• System Shock: The game is probably great. Issue is I bought it on Deck and the controller support is extremely half baked to the point where I am just going to shelve it until they update it.
• Last of Us 1 (Steam): It just doesn’t work.

Not OP, but outside of very occasional crashes it runs pretty great. In about 20 hours of play I’ve crashed maybe twice.

I imagine it’ll get more stable over time. I’ve also heard rumblings of there being a memory leak that’s been around since the closed beta tests, but there’s no concrete proof of that.

I think they did do research and third party app users make up a small enough portion of their user base that losing them is okay to Reddit.

Keep in mind how popular Reddit is – for the most part the people left will be content with the karma bots reposting memes for the thirtieth time and there’s always going to be somebody racing to be the first to post some news to a related subreddit.

I doubt it’ll affect their bottom line too much and in a week it’ll be back to business as usual for most subreddits.
