as is par for the course, nothing will be done.

this is why the og ds mariokart is the one i’ve sunk the most hours into BY FAR

try thrifting if that’s an option near you!

babe i’ve given BOTH of us a great idea. i’ve still got my very first big ass CRT. i’d love to give it life again.

bonus points if you reuse the old DVI hookup as a video out. TIL regular-ass DVI can handle 1920x1200 @ 60hz!

do folks do pc builds inside of old CRT cases? that seems like a niche that should exist.

there’s something so funny about them both being apple products, but the offending party getting the disrespect of “this stupid antique computer”

i’ve got an ad-blocking DNS on home network and my phone, i use youtube revanced, i’ve even got a fucken apk patcher to strip ad shit out of mobile games. it’s WILD to me how tolerant people are of ads. like anytime someone’s showing me a video on their phone and an ad plays, i have to do a little mental math on whether it’ll be annoying or mutually beneficial to just start playing the video on my phone instead.

and it takes such little effort to get rid of them! i’m constantly offering to teach people how to use patchers or revanced, folks are just like “nah it doesn’t bother me” MAN, HOW? sponsorblock alone is a goddamn godsend, sometimes more than 30% of a video is just ads and self promotion! how does anyone happily throw away their time like that‽

that’s who the soup is for, wildly enough

start the countdown until “i’m gonna blue shell a ceo” becomes a credible threat you could to to jail for

i’m a photoshop simp who straight up couldn’t use GIMP because of the clunky UI, but after switching to linux i’m an avid photogimp advocate.

It’s as complicated as you make it to be, and that’s gonna vary WILDLY per person lmao

scrubbing floors with an RC car still sounds pretty cool

It physically hurts me to see so many other people loved the PSP as much as me, and we’ll never get to go back.

Make sure you don’t skip any of the goof ass noir/comic book cutscenes. Some real fucken bangers in there.

I love it and I notice when it’s absent. The coolest thing about games as an art medium is player choice and the potential to “break the game”. Playing in a way the developer didn’t intend is probably consistently the most fun I have in games, and advanced movement tech like crouch jumps almost always creates unintentional whackiness.

I’ve got the legion y540 with an RTX 2060, apparently they made this same model number with a couple different gpu‘s.

I have no idea if it officially has linux support or not, I just got frustrated when it wouldn’t stop bluescreen’ing with windows 10. Ubuntu worked fine but was finnacky with peripherals, and I couldn’t change the brightness without fixes. Pop!OS has just worked perfectly across the board, straight out of the box.

What’s whacky is I could swear games run better on linux. Not even natively, like WINDOWS games run better through proton than they did when the same system ran windows. I’d bet a lot of it is just overhead from general bloat; windows is expensive to run these days.

If my experience is anything to go by, just start installing whatever OS strikes your fancy and hope for the best. Keep a windows usb handy just in case, but just start fucken around! You could spend a week reading documentation on ONE SINGLE OS, or you could spend just an afternoon trying probably every single OS you could find a modern ISO for. Just make sure you try the popular ones first hahaha

argh that’s literally the ONE that was tempting me, now I guess I GOTTA buy one! this sucks!

(thank you so much i’ve wanted to buy this since it came out)

Huge is just about 9 times the size of normal.

Goofy like silly, not like unacceptable. Reckon all three of us are happy it’s as high as it is!

I like it! Even if the majority of em completely abandon the accounts afterwards, it’ll increase the visibility of a fledgeling platform AND it’ll show a few folks that alternative social media platforms exist.

I mean, shit, if lemmy can suit my needs there’s no reason it shouldn’t work for at least some of em.
