I can’t wait for it to be a thing that only a small handful of actually good 3rd party titles use that feature and the rest are gonna be 1st party titles shoehorning it in to say “Look at our fancy new feature we swear nobody has ever done before! Trust me!”.

There was a small amount of thought put into it, but my official refurbished Steam Deck. Fairly impulsive of me to have gotten it. Love it.

Also, if you look at the majority of the stuffed animals in my room besides a couple, they’re kinda impulse buys and a couple of them have been amazing because I can just cuddle with them while watching videos on my phone in bed or hug them when I’m excited or stressed or bored or whatever I’m feeling. They make for great companions for me.

Well, it’s only gonna be a matter of time before they remove this. I can almost guarantee that.

Until my laptop dies or cannot support it, I’m sticking with KDE Plasma. Love how MX configured it (because I’m lazy) and absolutely will keep using it for as long as my laptop survived or can hold it.

Might try other ones in VMs (like ratpoison) in the future for other machines I might set up in the future, but for now KDE Plasma is my go-to that I’ll probably be using for a long time.

Damn this is something I need to look into.

Correction, you also need money because ain’t no way in Hell the RIAA or any other version of them from another region will allow a small fry to do the same thing. They’ll bleed your bank account and then send their death squads.

As much as I’m not a fan of this, I’ll at least admit it was helpful in helping me quickly learn how to scale videos using FFMPEG. That, combined with the documentation and now I have a command saved to a reference text document to help if I ever forget.

I still do it from time to time because I like playing them on original hardware, but Sonic 1&2 on Genesis/Mega Drive. The Origins Plus versions may not be 100% accurate gameplay with regards to movement/moveset, but anniversary mode’s retry special stages is real nice when half of the time I get screwed in those. Especially 2’s special stages where I feel I feel like I’m constantly getting screwed over by my favorite character/sidekick being incompetent at the special stages.

Just recently got the 3rd game (still need & Knuckles to complete the set) and while not being able to retry special stages is an issue, I can at least reset the game without having to worry about needing to replay the whole entire game over from the start. So it gets a pass because all I gotta do is replay a stage.

I’ve been wondering for a while what’s up. I just assumed that they’re working on a redesign and somebody messed up with the original site code but haven’t fixed it yet.

I have yet to watch it, but I have the drive to eventually get around to watching the new Wallace & Gromit film. I have it available to watch whenever I want on my desktop but have yet to get around to it.

Otherwise, I did start watching s1 of The New Batman Adventures, despite only being somewhere maybe either towards the end of s1 or very early s2 of BTAS. Not that any of that matters since I probably ain’t missing anything major. Only complaint I have with it is a very minor “I don’t like how Bruce Wayne’s eyes are blue now instead of black”.

Only times I have ever used it for anything has been whenever I’ve created an account for Perplexity* using a temp email and need the verification code but don’t wanna copy or type it out.

*I only use their AI for inconsequential things that have no impact on my life and are otherwise pointless, like writing very dumb stories.

The only thing that makes me question that is my current laptop not having a working headphone jack port. It’s most likely a hardware issue that I would need to put a ton of work into figuring out why it isn’t working properly. It’s a Samsung Galaxy Book, so I would have to look up the specific model and find out what hardware they use, which I’m not too fussed about since I can just begrudgingly use bluetooth.

Same type of issue with the last shitty worse-than-a-toaster laptop with detachable touchscreen monitor laptop I used to have that ran Ubuntu (my first experience with Linux in general).

Headphone jacks on laptops are the bane of my existence when it comes to Linux (obviously not including android because I count that as its’ own separate entity).

Summer because I love the long, warm days with cool nights. I’m also a heat lover.

I’m a bit boring in terms of my favorite 90s platformer, but absolutely love Sonic 1 & 2.

I follow a couple people like Hempuli (Baba Is You dev), Internetarchive, and David Revoy (Pepper & Carrot comic creator). Really depends on what you wanna follow. I follow them because I’m interested in their work in one way or another.

I’ve been playing it off and on since maybe 2016-18 (somewhere within that range), so a pretty long time for me, but Pokemon Rejuvenation.

If you don’t mind swearing, death, and generally kinda edgy stuff, it’s a fun enough game with a lot of content. 15 out of 18 badges (one per type) are currently available, with a very long story to go with it.

Just started over on my Steam Deck, making this my umpteenth time starting over, because I felt like it and wanted to do a grass only run, similar to my fire only run. Also, unlike just about every other RPGMaker XP fangame, the devs have a Linux version available, which has an appimage instead of the .exe file to run the game and have made a bash script to update the game to replace the .exe file for that. Wine not required to play at all!

Sad that one of my favorite go-to sites for shows/movies is slowly dying. I hope the site gets itself together and can keep running.

Had no idea they existed and now I wish I had $1k because apparently sintendo(dot)com is supposedly available for purchase from a 3rd party. Would absolutely buy that immediately and it would drive me to use it as a site where every week I provide what I consider the best emulators for every single one of n•ntendos consoles.

More of a genre than a particular movie, but any and all video game movies that aren’t the 90s shitshow M•rio movie or the 3 live action Sonic films. I’m talking live action because there have clearly been good video games based animated films like… well I can’t think of any right off hand, but they surely exist.

The first ever concert I ever went to November of last year I got super lucky. Headliner band, a local hometown Rock group, had a few different CDs for merch sales. All the other acts had vinyl if they were selling their music on physical media, which was a real bummer because I would have totally gotten a CD from one of the other acts I really liked.

I’ve also been seeing vinyl at walmart any time I am unfortunate enough to have to go there. It doesn’t feel right. Totally agree on the space thing since I can currently fit all my CDs (for now) in a small drawer in my desk but would absolutely struggle to fit vinyl just about anywhere on/in my desk without it sticking out like a sore thumb.
