It seems really dumb to play on such a device, but I’ve been playing a few rounds of Bejeweled 3 when looking for something in short bursts. There’s a controller profile that works surprisingly well with the dpad + face buttons.
For laid back / cozy games, I recommend A Short Hike, TOEM, the Frog Detective trilogy & Dave the Diver.
A mesh system would be better or even an old router in AP mode. That’s actually what I’m using to get full speed downstairs. It works really well, with no latency even for complexe things such as my Plex server or VirtualDesktop (wireless VR with my PC).
Wired is always better than wireless. You’ll get better WiFi speed with AP than Wi-Fi repeater.
Don’t give Todd any idea. The world would crumble if Bethesda was to port Skyrim again.
Doom on the wrapper, it really can be played from anywhere. Now that’s peak gaming.
Why am I not surprised it’s been done. Mad lad.
It’s been in my backlog for a while (it just keeps getting bigger & bigger…). I try to switch genre every now and then just so I don’t get bored of the sameness, but given the appreciation this received online and your comment, it’s been pushed to the top of that list haha :)
Almost done with Eternights. It has its janky moments but for a first game by a one person studio, it’s surprisingly good!
I’m also halfway done with Gato Roboto, it’s a great (but short) game where you play as a cat in a mech suit à la Metroid 🐱🤖
I’m using a mix of Sync and Eternity. I was using Infinity for Reddit before the migration.
Because Sync came first, it’s still my default way to navigate Lemmy but Eternity is slowly growing on me. I prefer to alternate between a few apps to stay up to date on the alternatives, and to ensure I don’t become dependant on a single app/interface.
I’ve also tested a few times Photon, great web UI which can be installed as a PWA.
So many questions on a single image. Why the red marks? Why is the laptop so old it has a XP (maybe Vista?) certified sticker but shows a recent Sonic game collection? The world may never know. Godspeed little hedgehog, may you go fast and eat plenty of chili dogs.
Fair enough, I was only joking haha. I’m using both Sync and Eternity (known as Infinity for Lemmy) and both clients render Markdown. Can’t say for others clients. Seems like not every client see the same thing…
Everyone should use uBlock + Facebook Container. It’s still far from perfect, but every step counts.
Same scenario for me! My laptop only serve to have a device when I’m on-the-go, but at home, I use my desktop. It was one of the reason why I went with an older Thinkpad, it’s well supported and with no dedicated GPU, it’s dead silent most of the time. I’d love a 16:10 screen, but the options are pretty expensive and often not as repairable as my T480.
Switching between “Active” and “Top [1h/6h/12h]” at different times of the day has provided me with enough content & interactions to make Lemmy my new home. I always was a lurker on the old site, no comment nor post, not even an account. Now, I’m slowly trying to break from this habit. Being on Lemmy feels like I’m not shouting in the void; when a platform gets too big, you get lost in the crowd. It’s always nice to see recurring usernames on different communities.
Seems like someone is new with Markdown notation haha :-)
You probably tried to write “number 1 […]” but the hash (#) converted your whole text to a Heading level 1.
I’d say lack of marketing and higher price tags. Money / Performance ratio is also better with a decent Thinkpad.
Some of these options can’t (or not without high markups) be bought and shipped to Canada.
Because it use common hardware and bought “en masse” by enterprises; they tend to be more supported with FOSS than other options.
I’ve been happy with my used T480 so far.
There’s KOHO for Canadians, still not a proper Privacy.com replacement but you get two Mastercard cards (one physical & one digital) and they are refillable via Interac payments.
When doing trials, I set a few dollars on the card to ensure if they try to do a 1$ transaction to verify the card and I’m good to go. Even if I forget to cancel, the payment won’t pass.
Saving this post for later! I got started yesterday with Miniflux and didn’t know where to look for good RSS feeds. Can’t have a better timing than this haha!
I’m halfway through the first Witcher book. After being disappointed with the Netflix show, I had to read the original source. I’m enjoying it so far. My goal is to read them all and play the games afterwards.
It plays really well on Deck. You can lower TDP limit and still get 60 fps. 16:10 support is also possible with the use of this mod: https://github.com/nbusseneau/hephaistos.
Ordered LE ~20 minutes after launch. Currently stuck on “Packaged items”, and refreshing way too often to see the same message…
I’m hoping this backlog won’t be too long. 🥲
