I wonder how people will show off all of the books they haven't read, what with analogs going out of stye and all.
I don’t know whether this is sarcasm or not, can’t figure it out. But if isn’t, well, I suppose they won’t.
Reading is usually for oneself and not to show off, so I assume, people who purchase such a thing wouldn’t care about showing off.
I like reading normal books but, I currently prefer devices (I.E screens) because it’s easier to carry around, multiple books possible and less preying eyes “what are you reading”.
The moment this becomes an obligation for each person, no matter what, I’ll just quit Discord. I’m tired of stuff like this.
If people want to do bad stuff, they will find a way no matter what anyway.
Yeah, no. It is not the only place to play Mario. There’s emulation and Piracy. I’m quite certain skilled people will try to hack the Switch 2 and sooner or later there will be a Switch 2 emulation (although might take a while). €80-90 euro for one single game is nuts.
The only reason I would purchase a Switch 2 is when it is capable of being hacked.
Yeah, I have. Back then I was active in a lot of political and semi-political communities, at first it was pretty decent and people were polite, debates with actual facts and links to trustable sources.
After a while though, people become more hostile, insulting and debated with emotions and zero facts. I just grew tired of it and wasn’t really active in any other community. So I left for 4-6 months.
Then one day got bored, decided to return to Lemmy but unsubscribed from every political community and I straight up blocked anyone who’s being a douche. I now stick a few communities (Piracy, gaming and books).
You can change your context with a new console, but I think it may be cheaper to do something like buying a controller and playing games while standing up, or on your couch/armchair
I will try this! Will try the standing. Though, eventually I’ll sit due just tired of standing up. The gaming PC is in my bedroom so there’s not really much room for couch and such.
I have a controller that, I often use but same issue happens of being exhausted of the feeling ‘being behind a desk and screen’.
You can also achieve this by identifying the things that you have to do in your job that mirror videogame genres you enjoy and picking a game that shares few of those qualities.
The thing is, I don’t think anything mirrors my work. I currently have a very basic accounting job and it’s not even that demanding. My work week exists of a mix with doing accounting, listen to podcasts, watching videos on phone and such.
It’s one of the most relax work I have ever had to be honest. Yet it’s the first job where this feeling of exhaustion started.
I also find stress relief games. Mindless 3rd person action games for me. Mad Max was great because I could drive around picking fights or crashing stuff. The Batman Arkham games and the Shadow of Mordor games are other great examples for me.
Yeah, so for me it would be most Switch games through emulation (such as Captain Toad, 3D World and Odyssey) and P3R/P5R.
I have not found any relaxing "cozy" games that work for me. Nothing has really grabbed my attention enough to stick with.
I checked ‘cozy’ games but like you, they don’t seem to be my type of games.
I’m truly debating about the Deck but €670 is a lot to invest when being uncertain. Also what if it wouldn’t fix the exhaustion issue of screens and desks.
How long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment.
For about 2 months and a few days now. So I think, I already adjusted to the changes.
School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people.
Definitely! It was tough the first few weeks, lol.
Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.
At the moment I don’t yet, I purposely asked if I could work full time at office. I still live with parents and the distractions are a bit much. Might try working from home sooner or later though.
Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen?
I recently got a job after finishing university, all is good. However, after 5 full days of being behind desk job, I feel a bit exhausted of being behind desk.
Thus my desire to game on PC has soured immensely. Despite having a huge backlog and actually want to finish games.
I’m debating to purchase a Steam Deck OLED in the hope, I can actually play some decent games on there without getting fatigue of desk/ screens but that’s a big investment (€670-700).
So I was wondering; how do the adults of Lemmy with 5 full days of work still get the time and desire to play their games?
Apple has teased with making the iPhone-as-a-service, meaning you lease it instead of owning it.
I really like iPhones (more so iOS), especially with sideloading now.
But if leasing becomes norm and we can’t purchase it or get it through subscription of service (2 years with Vodafone and then the phone is yours kind of thing). I’ll just purchase an older Samsung. Then I’ll take the loss and struggle for a few months with the interface and all that.
Probably;
- I’m proud. You proved everyone that you were able to do everything, they said you could not (education-wise).
- Don’t be afraid to change jobs, get the one that’s better for your future.
Just use Real-Debrid with Stremio and you can toss out every streaming service after that.
I don’t see the problem with having both- they fill different niches.
Money. Steam Deck OLED costs in my country €700, Switch OLED €350-360 and the Switch 2 will be around the €560-600.
steam deck, I’d be really sad to not have any Mario kart, Zelda, etc…
I’m so close on purchasing a Steam Deck OLED to game in weekends or in bed after full 5 days behind a desk job. But I’m always worried that these games won’t work well with emulations. I’ve been researching like crazy but keep reading different things.
And spending €700 with uncertainty is not my favorite thing to do.
Unfortunately I don’t have knowledge about Android tweaks but I’m almost certain there is one.
Best is not to use the platform but if you do, then the best thing to do is; use a tweaked version.
One that removes the ads and gives more settings to tweak.
For iOS you can check EthMods Telegram channel and find the tweaked version and then install them through SideStore sideloading.
I’m wondering how Tumblr is a safe space while it’s still filled with porn-bots. I tried the platform several times and no matter what I do, I always get smacked with some random NSFW content.
When Lemmy first got popular and all debates happened and such, I kept debating politely while they kept bashing, insulting and all that. I’m over that.
When I see such opinions now, I block them. They are seriously not worth my time, energy and effort. Let them wallow in their misery.
They won’t realize it but everything bad they hope happening to others will certainly bite them back sooner or later. The moment they do not fit their (own) ideology of fascism just a tiny bit, it’ll bite them back.
Seemed fun but I noped out of everything the moment, I heard the prices.
Steam Deck OLED + Emulations is the way to go.
It's crazy how strong this guy's compulsion to steal art was.
Yeah! Even after
::: spoiler Spoiler he got caught once in Switzerland and Anne-Catherine wanted him to stop. He continued.
What amazed me the most is the way he got caught. Anne-Catherine told him explicitly to steal with gloves on but he didn’t listen and poof he got caught the moment, he didn’t do it.
EDIT: I genuinely hate how Lemmy’s spoiler-tag system work. Can never get it to work decently.
Thank you! I didn’t know we could scroll through it, found it now.
The Art thief and about 70% in it. I’m amazed how the guy managed to get away for so long and even more amazed on something else but since I don’t know how to spoiler tag on the Mlem app - I can’t write it down.
Kunnen ze volgens mij nooit echt goed handhaven.
Question regarding Piracy on Switch and Steam Deck
I’ve been heavily debating between Steam Deck OLED and Switch OLED. My initial thought was getting a Switch OLED, let someone mod it and then download games on it (I don’t care about Nintendo’s Online).
Then I got told it might be better to get Steam Deck OLED and use emulation on it for switch games.
Now I’ve been a bit of researching on both and it seems that Steam Deck runs Linux and that the emulation isn’t really as good as it is on the PC. I don’t have any knowledge on Linux either, plus most of my games are pirated (thus Steam Library isn’t really a thing for me).
Getting the Switch OLED modded going to cost me about €150 but then I’ve been reading that the games are mostly 30FPS locked and that using cheats and/ or mods is a bit of a hassle (similar thing with getting games on it through piracy).
Price wise; Steam Deck OLED going to cost me at least €680 while Switch OLED will cost me €350 (and when Switch 2 comes it might be on sale).
I was wondering what the opinions a
What is this new heart thing and how do we use it?
I have noticed in some of my own comments that, I can see a heart next to it. It seems to be new (at least for me) and I was wondering how do we use it and for what is it for?
I was not sure which community to post this, so apologies in advance if this is the wrong community.

Can we change our account name?
So made this account a year ago or so and would like to change the account name (not the display name).
But can’t figure out how and where. That’s why I was curious whether it is even possible or not.
Best place for sideloading ipas
So I recently got into sideloading on iPhone but I have no idea where to get the (tweaked) ipas from. Not sure which site is safe and trustworthy.
I do have AltStore installed and ready though.
Just finished Alan Wake 2
I just finished Alan Wake 2 and the 3 episodes of the DLCs. Alan Wake 2 is a literal masterpiece in my opinion, the gameplay was similar to its first game but refined, the story dark, mood, mysterious and weird. I also loved the references to the other games. Like Ahti. The ending of Alan Wake 2 made me wonder and sad (I won’t mention it to avoid spoilers).
The 3 DLCs made me immensely hyped up though - they were weird and like a love-letters to their fan-base of all three games. Spoiler tagged, don't open if you have not played the DLCs (you have been warned);
I was not certain how much, I could write without spo
Fantasy anime with magical cozy feeling
I'm in need of a magical, cozy anime series that gives off an old adventure vibe with fun and comedy moments. Everything I play, watch, and read currently is so depressing, so I need something with happy moments.
If it is necessary to put my anime-list on here, let me know. It is a Excel file though. After a certain site died, I decided to do it myself.
I was not sure whether, I should post here or in another community. Apologies in advantage of this is not the right community.
Twitch Adblock issue
Any idea how to fix this annoying message when having ''TTV LOL PRO'' extension installed on FireFox? The Twitch Adblocker seems to be detected and gives either this message or a infinite loading circle.
Is there a official DB0 Piracy Mastodon server?
I wanted to retry Mastodon after not using my .World mastodon account for months and was wondering if there's an official DB0 Piracy mastodon server before joining any other one.
If there's not, which one do you suggest me to try out which is Piracy friendly?
One Piece story & Burning Blood game
So, I just got past the episode of the timeskip where Luffy's training of
. I really enjoy the story and the character development. I was considering purchasing the Burning Blood game. However, I'm a bit hesitant and wanted to ask if it's 'okay' to get it at this stage of the story. Will the game spoil a lot of the story for me, or can I enjoy it without major spoilers?
Note: wasn’t sure which community to post this, there were like 3 gaming communities. So apologies if this isn’t the right one to be in.
Switch V1 still worth it in 2024?
I currently play most games thru emulators but been wondering whether it is worth it to get the Switch V1 version for handheld.
my plan would be putting the roms onto the Switch and then play handheld (is this possible?)
Playing when traveling, a few hours in bed before sleeping or cozy up next to the heather in the evening seems nice. However is it still worth around €300 euro for it, may I have your opinion on the matter?
Telegram issue
So I’m trying to get a bot from a channel to forward its messages to my private channel. But I keep getting this message and I have no idea where to change this
I have checked both channel settings and the telegram setting.
This is the message I keep getting:
“Disable UserTransmission so bot can send files to users!”
I tried to upload a picture but for some unknown reason, Lemmy won’t let me.
Memmy development
Just out of pure curiosity, is the Memmy app still in development?
I haven’t used the app for a month or so due to “an unknown error has occurred!”
But haven’t seen a single update from the app nor a single post about the app lately.
It is quite sad to see that decent amount of semi-developed apps are stopping. Artemis is an example of this.
Yuzu Games Emulation
So I’m pretty new to Yuzu and Emulating the games.
I managed to get FitGirl repacks games of emulation and they work without Prod-keys and Firmware.
Now, I managed to get Prod-key and Firmware 17.0.0 but no idea what, I do with it and what I do after to get games.
I tried googling here and there but couldn’t get an actual answer or landed on unknown sites which, I find hard to trust.
Could someone explain, get me into the right direction or anything like that?
EDIT: SOLVED. Apparently the only thing I just needed was the NSP-Games files and then load them into Yuzu.
Monster (2004)
I was searching for an anime with a similar vibe to Code Geass and DeathNote and came across “Monster”.
It seemed good but the art/quality are quite dated. I often struggle with dated quality because, well, I’m just spoiled with the current quality of animes.
Is this anime actual similar to the two I mentioned and worth the struggle?
PiratedGames content Lemmy/Reddit
I recently checked back on the PiratedGames subreddit after long while not being there. And I wonder what other people here think but in my opinion, the quality of the subreddit has gone downhill.
Most posts from what I see are now ‘’meme’s’’, ‘‘I justify pirate because..’’ and ‘’This is my collection!’’. Pretty much just hurr-durr look and upvote me kind of content.
Actual content to help with problems, discussions (besides, I justify it because) are not there.
I know this is kind of an ironic because, this post isn’t necessarily a helpful thing either. So apologies for that.
Also what is the smartest thing to do, follow the megathread here, there or both?
The more I check Reddit, the more glad I’m that the original Moderator of PiratedGames went to Lemmy.
Anyone seen ‘’Elaina the wandering witch’’?
So, I’m curious if anyone seen this short anime. I’m currently watching it, 3 episodes in and don’t know whether to proceed or to call it quits.
I love the worldbuilding, visuals and the fact that she’s a traveler but that’s about it. The fact she does not do much of help when needed kinda bothers me and I originally started his anime to have small cozy magic anime but 2 of the 3 stories are quite something (the plants & slave).
What’s your opinion about it? Do you recommend to continue?
Having posts but does not show up
I was not sure where to post this, so apologies if this isn’t the right place and would like to know where I should go.
For a while now, I cannot see my own posts. Despite having made 33 posts.
It will show up as if I have never made one
I have this particular problem with several Lemmy apps: Avelon, Memmy, Mlem and Voyager.
I’m curious if other people have a similar issue or what I can do to fix this. I tried to log in/out & delete and reinstall app. Doesn’t work unfortunately.
I attached an image of what it shows me when, I try to check my own posts.
Is there A way to download all my pins on Pinterest?
Title basically:
Is there A way to download all my pins on Pinterest?
Because I want to save all of the things I once categorized and then leave the PoS garbage app and its company with its BS ads.
Anything that would just download everything in one Zip or Winrar and put it into one big folder would do it.
Apologies if this isn’t the right place to ask.
Do you buy books you have already read?
Do you buy physical books you have already read?
For example; I have read a book named “The Words We Keep” digitally. I loved it, it really resonated with me because it’s about something - I personally have and struggle with as well.
Thinking to buy the book physically but feel like, I can’t justify it due to the fact that I’ve already read it.
I don’t really re-read books either.
