Very true! Being early adopters of something new like this is definitely fun, but it has it’s challenges!
I am definitely a human, and therefore have a profile description, as humans do.

Yeah, same! There’s a few others I’ve experimented with posting in, and gotten the same response. I would keep going, but I feel like people are also going to avoid the community if it’s just me talking to myself! So it’s tough to find a good balance.
That sounds fun too! I take some screenshots here and there too, there’s some really great landscapes.
Yeah, I’ve noticed that a lot unfortunately. I’ve got a community I moderate and try to post in when I have something to say, but there’s so many others and not enough time in the day!
Your ESO screenshots look good! It has been my go-to for a while now, it’s been fun. It’s a shame the community on Lemmy isn’t that busy, but I guess there’s not a lot of players here yet.
I’ve been starting to get a few posts (besides me) showing up in [email protected], so that’s good! I feel like there are a few too many communities (there are 7 general Star Trek communities, plus the more specific ones) for the amount of users currently here, but that’s how it goes! The community founder decided not to continue, so I decided to take over rather than let it disappear.
It is an enjoyable way to contribute to the OSM project! I mostly use JOSM or the iD editor for mapping, but when I only have my phone I’ll pull out StreetComplete and do a few quests.
For beginners to mapping, it’s a very easy way to contribute without the worry of messing up something!
Same here. I had nearly all the XCOM2 DLC purchased from GOG, and then Steam ran a sale on the bundle that was cheaper than buying the last piece to complete the collection! Since then I think GOG have run similarly cheap sales, but it wasn’t the last time I saw that happen.
I know launchers like Heroic are available, and I use it for some of my games from them, but I actually liked the Galaxy launcher on Windows. I wasn’t linking it to anything else though, so I didn’t run into the issues you mention.
It’s sad, because I think they could do well in the Linux community. Hopefully they eventually start supporting it, but until then I’ll be buying most of my games from the company that’s actively contributing and improving things for the community.
I used to purchase everything I could from GOG until I switched to Linux full time. I still like the company and buy some from them, but until they become more Linux friendly or Steam gets worse I’ll still prioritize Steam now. And it’s not only the (very odd) resistance to making a Linux version of Galaxy, I’ve also seen them not offer Linux versions of games even when the developers have released it on other platforms.
I’ve been gaming on one since 2021, and on modern games the only issues I’ve had are a few games with pillarboxing and pre-rendered cutscenes showing in 16:9 instead. For me the benefits of having a wider monitor far outweigh the few things I’ve noticed.
Why don’t you recommend it? I’ve run into very few games that don’t support a 21:9 aspect ratio, and the extra screen space is very immersive.
I’ve seen people doing that, I should look into doing it sometime. I mostly use the Steam Deck for handheld emulation, but it can’t hurt to have more options!
Yeah, it gives it a really nice look!
Yeah, I should have specified I was just talking about the switches!
I was never a big fan of the “Vader” style 2600, but it seems a lot of people like the aesthetic. I was always partial to the six switch look, I just wish they would have made a Sears Video Arcade sixer with the Atari branding! I like the silver by the switches better than the black on the official ones.
I’ve still got mine, and it still works great! I sold my PSP to get a used one about a month from launch, and I’ve kept it ever since. It’s a great console, if only there were more games for it.
Nope, there were two different versions! The 6 switch is the original. (And in my opinion the better looking one!) The 4 switch came later, and still has 6 switches, they just moved the difficulty switches to the back. I believe it saved them some money and made production a little easier because everything was on one circuit board with that setup.
I’ve got to go with the 2600 as well. Mostly because of the wood grain!
I’m amazed by how well it works, Proton is literally a game changer! Most of my games are older too, but I purchased the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Farming Simulator 25 on launch day or soon after with zero Linux associated issues. Not being very interested in multiplayer games helps a lot. My only multiplayer game is Elder Scrolls Online, and they’ve made Steam Deck specific tweaks, so I’m lucky there!
Same here. I’ve never run into any of the edge cases that need the bleeding edge updates, and I’ve been running the same install for a while without any stability issues.
Hmm, strange. I’m afraid I don’t have any other ideas! Just figured I would mention it in case.
Ubuntu was my first when I started poking around with it. Not sure which version, but it was during the Unity era. Pop!_OS was the one I started using when I switched full time. I’m still using it on my main computer, but I’m also using Fedora, Ubuntu, NixOS, and Mint on other devices because I like variety!
