‘If it’s the only place to play Mario, you buy it’: Former PlayStation boss reacts to $80 Nintendo games in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Alk 2 points 1 day ago

I do! Many of my favorites are indie games, I'd say more than not. But I guess there's some things that you can't do without a massive budget or many many years in development, because many nintendo core franchises just aren't beat in quality in my opinion, at least for some entries.

What's a stupidly expensive adult purchase that you now swear by that you would buy again in a heartbeat? in c/ask@lemm.ee

Yeah I'm stuck on the "expensive" part still. I built one, but very quickly ran out of storage. I'm looking to buy some 18tb drives but holy hell they are expensive.

I thought for sure it was a dream until she didn't attempt to explain at all and just said "you'll understand when you're older"

I'm going to try very hard not to be, but I'm definitely the type of person you're describing. That Nintendo direct had me drooling at the new Mario kart and donkey Kong games, and nothing hits like a zelda. Super mario wonder was a delight.

I only hope I can emulate this system relatively quickly. I am not a man of strong willpower.

What happened to car colours? in c/cars@aussie.zone
[–] Alk 2 points 2 days ago

Especially with electric cars becoming more popular. It's cheaper than ever to go a certain distance. Now that I can use cheap power, give me less efficient and more interesting designs. (yes range is affected too, but it is negligibly cheap to recharge)

Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] Alk 0 points 2 days ago

It's not niche being a woman obviously. What's niche is having a community exclude 50% of the population. Nothing wrong with it, but it is niche.

Wait, did she actually sleep with the droplet spirit? Or was that a dream?

I absolutely love IKEA's Swedish meatballs 🇸🇪 in c/foodporn@lemmy.world
[–] Alk 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They do. The one near me has a whole menu that changes regularly, aside from a few permanent options. Some of the items can be very good.

It's a whole cafeteria setup with trays and a line with workers dishing out different things. Then you pay at the end of the line.

Wait aren't you in the foodporn community? Is this not the purpose, to post pictures of food that the OP finds delicious? Either you're very lost or you misinterpreted the "porn" part of the community name and wanted the mashed potatoes to take their pants off.

Surely you don't simply disagree that it's delicious, because you're blocking them. Even a downvote isn't appropriate for a well framed and high quality photo of food that you personally don't enjoy, but is enjoyed by many. In that case a user would simply not upvote. So that can't be it.

Yesterday's mystery print revealed in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world
[–] Alk 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I saw the initial picture and thought "Whatever that is is still a mystery print to me." haha

Thanks for the explanation. I thought it was some sort of construction-related apparatus, with that rebar.

Mods are asleep. Post trackpoints in c/trackballs@discuss.tchncs.de
[–] Alk 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I wonder if someone somewhere has made a trackball the size of that nubbin and replaced it. Not practical at all, but I feel it needs to be done.

I just obtained a large van. What do I put on the sides? (self.dull_mens_club)

It is a Ford e-transit. Huge white empty sides. I enjoy the plainness of it, but am open to putting something interesting on the sides/back.

I will implement my favorite idea without fail.

It's for transporting my disabled mother around, but also for personal use. (I am too tall for normal cars so this will be my only vehicle)

Edit: There are so many good suggestions. My current favorites are some sort of grand fantasy mural or the mystery machine (possibly with mystery replaced with my last name that also starts with an m and has the same amount of letters), or that 90's jazz pattern.

To all of you who are done with your daily tasks, I hope you enjoy some downtime today. (self.dull_mens_club)
 

I am as well. It is time to play some video games and eat a piece of raw cookie dough.

Nobody came trick-or-treating :( (self.casualconversation)

I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn't want chocolate).

Not a single child came. I didn't see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.

The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.

Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.

How was everyone else's Halloween?

Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED "trick or treat" sign we hung on the porch.

Yet another "What distro should I use?" post, but at least I did some homework. (self.linux_gaming)

Edit: Tumbleweed and bazzite are currently the most attractive options based on what I've learned from the comments. I will trial run those and 1 or 2 others.

I am currently on Pop OS.

I am dissatisfied with the DE/UI and I've been playing with others but half the point of this distro is it's custom UI. So I figured I would try another. I have several criteria that may narrow it down.

  1. I am going to use KDE or KDE Plasma (preferred). This is the only non-negotiable criteria.

  2. I will be gaming. This means I would like relatively up to date kernel and software. Rolling or semi-rolling releases are preferred.

2.5. I also work from this pc. This mainly entails using discord and Firefox though so no special requirements. I do have 4 different sized monitors with 3 different refresh rates that I use for work. Only one for gaming. One is vertical. I can tell I'm pushing x to its limits with that setup.

  1. I would prefer Debian-based as that is what I'm used to and because .deb packages are so common.

  2. I don't want it to be a ton of effort to set up. Pop OS worked out of the box with my Nvidia GPU and all other hardware. I am willing to put in some effort though.

  3. I have been using and very much like apt and flatpak. This is not a requirement, just an observation.

  4. Wayland is neat

  5. Active community with lots of support to search through. Pop OS has been good for this as it's Ubuntu based and has its own great community.

Ultimately I want an easy to use desktop OS that uses some sort of KDE, supports up to date packages and drivers, supports most games and isn't a pain to maintain.

Here are some contenders that fit at least some of my requirements.

KDE Neon user edition

Opensuse tumbleweed

Kubuntu

Endeavor OS

Debian

Manjaro

Bazzite

Mint Debian edition

Right now I'm leaning toward KDE Neon, Kubuntu, or Debian (whatever the rolling release version is), but the others all have their draws. I've heard the aur is great but I have come across several applications only available in website downloads of Deb packages so I'm hesitant.

I have been using pop as my first desktop distro after Windows and I've enjoyed it a lot. I barely run into anything I can't solve with some effort and headache and not a single game I can't play. I'd like to keep it that way.

Now that that's out of the way, does anyone have suggestions? Am I looking in the wrong direction? Am I asking the wrong questions? Should I just install arch, live in the terminal, and throw away my mouse? /s

Thank you all for your advice in advance.

How many of you have heard the "collision imminent" warning and NOT died? (self.starcitizen)

I am bad at the game, and I often fly my ships too fast towards a space station and can't stop in time. I've never heard that warning and NOT blown up seconds afterwards.
