I'm still running a Ryzen 5 3600 and a 3060ti. I can't afford to upgrade right now, so if my PC takes a shit during tarrif hell I'm going to use my Steam Deck as my main PC until living becomes affordable again, then maybe someday a new PC will.

The key for me has been finding a job I don't hate, and I don't have to take home with me. Don't get me wrong, I don't LOVE my job, it's not what I'd like to do for the rest of my life or anything, but it's decently manageable most days and I don't have any outside of hours responsibilities.

As an added bonus, I've always been a second shift person ever since highschool and it still works in my life right now. This allows me to spend the hours I have the most energy at home doing what I actually enjoy like my hobbies and such.

It's kinda like each Mii is a little pet you indirectly take care of. You feed them, give them entertainment, decorate them and their homes, and they ask you advice on relationships and such. There's also fun little mini games to play with them! Highly recommend if you like pet simulators and the like!

Oh it's because I don't have a proper HDMI switch, I'm using the three inputs on one monitor, so unless I switch the output manually thru the monitor, it won't automatically switch to the console. The solution for this is to select Laptop screen under the win+p menu in KDE

Did you find any other comparable solutions out of curiosity? Annoying, but obviously not a deal breaker to make me go back to Windows!

And I used to solve this back in the day with a KDE Widget that added Display Profiles as a function and I could press a button to switch them on the fly, unfortunately it hasn't been updated in five years and it only works on X11 and not Wayland.

The thing that's fucking me up in the last month since I switched is the fact that when I press Windows Key + P to switch Displays to just my second monitor (when I want to use my consoles), switching it back causes KDE to count the monitors as separated for some reason. Like they are virtually spaced apart, so I'm stuck in one monitor instead of being able to use both. It also resets my second monitor to the primary one for some reason. Very strange, never an issue on Windows.

I ran my Pebble Time into the ground, so I'm hyped as fuck for this. I bought it in my early highschool years and wore it nearly daily until last year when the rumble motor finally gave out. Still wear it from time to time, but it not buzzing for notifications is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

I bought a replacement and it's so pristine I didn't want to risk slowly damaging it at work, but now I'm charging that bitch up and running it into the ground until new Pebble comes out. Thanks for sharing OP, this news made me week!

Bonus, here's what mine looked like as of a few years ago right when the vibration went out. You can see I slapped a skin on it to cover up the bezel scratches, but the screen still looks totally fine!

Evoland games are a neat commodity. The whole "game grows in complexity" gimmick is pretty well done, and their chock full of references to games of the past. Definitely not the peeps I'd expect to make a massive space game that was actually good though.

If I had to pick some of my favorites:

• BuzzKill, Gives you total control over your notifications. I use it to auto clear apps that think they need to have a persistent notification like VPNs, Smart Watches, etc.
• DuckDuckGo, For their very useful, (In my opinion) app tracking protection proxy that they have built into the app.
• GAMEYE, For tracking my physical games collection and my extensive Amiibo collection.
• Grayjay & Revanced , For when I want to watch YouTube on mobile.
• Image Toolbox, Great for doing a whole bunch of different things. Works especially well for image related tasks, but does more stuff than that too.
• LocalSend, Airdrop but cross platform and open source. Really good.
• Privacy, An app that links to your bank account and lets you make virtual cards to obfuscate your real debit card. Super useful as well for setting up with subscriptions so you can just turn the individual card off instead of having to go find the subscription cancel option for each service.
• p!n, A very simple app that adds a quick actions menu button to pin a notification. I use it to essentially add reminders and notes to my notifications real quick.
• rdx, A simple Reddit viewer for when I have to view a Reddit link for any reason. shudders
• Shortcut Maker, Super useful app for when I'm not using Niagara Launcher. Let's you make home screen app like shortcuts for a wide variety of things, including going to specific settings, launching specific sets of apps, and way more. Used to be my favorite app before I got into Niagara.
• URLCheck, Acts as a middle man after I click a link, telling me a bunch of info about it before letting me pick which browser I want to open it in.
• Niagara Launcher, my launcher of choice. Not for everyone, but I have found it makes navigating my phone super fast. I have tried so many different ones, but the fact that the app drawer is always on open on the home screen and I can navigate to each letter quickly made it the best for me.

Anyway yeah, those are some of the ones I use frequently. Sorry for not linking to them, but it would have taken forever lol.

Just started using Image Toolbox a few weeks ago, shits fucking dope.

Not original commenter, but I got the hell off of Swiftkey after Microsoft bought it for privacy purposes. That could be why.

Had this phone, Google pushed an OS update that caused the bootloader to get corrupted on a factory reset. Tried to tell me I had to pay them to get the motherboard replaced even though their faulty ass update broke the phone. Three months out of warranty. Never buying a pixel again.

I'm so hyped for that DLC. I'm hoping it makes VS even more expensive and fun. It's a match made in heaven.

That's my favorite Castlevania game!! Good luck with your runs! I'm so hyped for the Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC.

I've also been playing with my buds WEBFISHING which is basically an Animal Crossing esc chill fishing game with lots of neat stuff to do. It's really fun to play just to hang out with your friends and chat.

If you want something more intense as well, STRAFTAT just released yesterday and it's fun as hell. It's basically a Free to Play (Not P2W) 1v1 arena shooter that's really hectic. It's got a really strange aesthetic that I really like and it's quite fun for a free little game. And if you end up liking it, you can throw the devs a bone and buy a $5 DLC that adds more maps, weapons, and cosmetics. They even made it so only the host has to buy the DLC and anyone who connects gets to play on those maps with those weapons for free. Really neat little game and really fun with a buddy.

Just got into Metaphor ReFantazio! Just reached the first major dungeon and so far I am very impressed. Quite a lot of great QOL stuff over the Persona series, and it has a very well written story with a very unique vibe so far.

I personally think I still prefer the vibe of Persona over Metaphor, but this is seriously a really cool game. I highly recommend you try out the Prologue demo even if you've never played Persona before or don't care for JRPGs, because this is something truly different and I think there's still a chance you might like it. The demo is super meaty too since it's literally just the first four hours or so of the game.

Can we talk about how he is directing people to not donate to him, but instead donate to help others in his area. Absolute Chad.

Rural American here. We drive 30 mins to the nearest bigish city to do all of our grocery shopping every weekend.

Have Eclipse on my list up next after I finish up Astro Bot. Happy to see it getting good reviews!
