Returning to the hobby after 4 years
Returning to the hobby after 4 years - Lemmy.World
My son came into my life 4 years ago, and my daughter arrived 2 years after that. It’s been wonderful having them in my life, and I’m really happy! But I left some things aside when they arrived, they take your life by storm and it’s difficult to focus on the things you used to do before them. One of this things is board games. I used to play with friends like once a month, and built my collection around that group. Some games were meant to be played with my wife, and occasionally with her friends too. Now I want to start playing again, and I’m thinking of two paths that may not be exclusive. 1. Play with friends really late at night when my kids finally get a full night of uninterrupted sleep (not yet) 2. Play with my kids. Haba games are well received here (my first orchid was a success), and these holidays we’re stacking up with like 4 more games (I really hope they like them). So yeah, this is not much of a question but just wanted to share that I still like this hobby after 4 years, and hope to keep sharing it with friends and family 🙂
Petition to redesign some icons
Petition to redesign some icons - Lemmy.World
I think Dolphin and Discover share the “Blue square” base design, while Settings and Konsole share the “Black square” one… I usually misclick these app icons because of this. NOTE: I know Dolphin sticks to whatever the Accent color is set to. But the default color is that shade of blue, similar to Discover. Would it be possible to change some of these icons? I’m not a designer nor have artistic skills to do so, unfortunately. Some ideas: - Maybe set Discover to be a paper bag or another shopping icon - Settings could be a gear (wink wink) - Global settings and System settings share the same icon unfortunately. Maybe these could be different :)
Where are the GPU drivers?
Where are the GPU drivers? - Lemmy.World
Ex windows user here. I really like my Linux installation, but I don’t know where the drivers are at, or if I should worry about it. It feels great to have one less thing to worry about (I use an AMD GPU), but GPU drivers in Windows seem to have their own release cycle, fixing game compatibility and bugs, while in Linux it also feels like we have to wait for a next kernel release to get that fix. Or maybe it’s mesa? I don’t really understand that. TL;DR: where are the open source drivers at? Mesa or the kernel? And also, is the release cycle the same or close to Windows counterpart? Or it just doesn’t matter?
My new system: Ryzen 7950X, RX 7900XTX, 64gb RAM, 2x2tb 980 pro, 1x1tb 990 pro
What game has a great story and is worth the time investment?
What game has a great story and is worth the time investment? - Lemmy.world
I recently finished Rise of the Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy XVI, and I’m hesitant what I should play next (PC or PS5). With FF I enjoyed the game and the story was all I expected from it, and I’m really looking forward to the DLC. With Tomb Raider… damn that game is all over the place. The story is predictable, and also stupid. “Why did you rush in there? Without weapons? Against an army?”, and other similar thoughts kept running through my head. I don’t feel inclined to play Shadow of the tomb Raider (the sequel). I have a backlog of too many games, and lately it takes a lot of effort to start because I don’t know if it’s worth the time investment. I love games with good stories, and playing a game that puts the lore and story in the background feels like a waste of time. Sure, I could get started on Baldurs Gate 3, I’ve heard great things. But is the story great? Will I be able to say “oh that chapter/fight/act is awesome!” To other people looking for game experiences? Experiences like Escaping from the ship in Super Metroid, helping that king in Witcher 3, fighting Psycho Mantis in MGS, fighting Titan in FFXVI, killing the first colossus, escaping from darth Vader, that first Mario odyssey stage, beating the first boss in Bloodborne, playing “Brothers” for the first time and getting to the ending… all great experiences with awesome stories to tell TL;DR: what am I missing?
Planning to switch from Arch. Anything I should be aware of?
Planning to switch from Arch. Anything I should be aware of? - Lemmy.world
Title, basically. Once kernel 6.5 arrives (has support for some sensors in my mobo), I was planning to reinstall using archinstall. But I’ve read that Endeavour is kinda better, as it doesn’t install a full DE, and has good default settings OOTB. I’m planning to use systemd-boot, pipewire, KDE Plasma, Wayland. I have an AMD system (GPU, CPU) which runs great on Arch right now. I also use Discover for Flatpak, and yay to manage packages. So my question is: is there something to be aware of? Are there any additional apps that I might not need?
