The Elden Ring one actually isn’t so rare. It feels more like a 10%. Every time I boot up the game I half expect it to crash.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Lemmy become my daily social media/fourm since last year,. Huge thanks for all the mods that keep this place running.

Looking forward to all the things and participation this year!

Really cool! Love to see some modding. And wow, that full kit of IFixIt.

Thanks for the suggestions! 😃 I will take the two phone method into consideration in the future.

I see, perhaps changing my approach & mindset towards privacy is the next thing I should work on.

Will definitely still do more stuff like boxing & containing non private services.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I will give more office alternatives a shot, and see Windows more as a “tool” that I don’t prefer, rather than something to banish.

And yeah, Google sees all on stock android. I definitely will make Pixel+ custom ROMs my top choice when I next switch phones.

Guess I tried to push privacy a bit too fixated. Thx for the reminder👍.

Dead By Daylight! This game is very comfortable at low wattage. 45Fps @7w all low. The deck basically turn DBD into bite sized excitements.

Bought an OLED model for 6 months. I still use it for 60% of my game time.
Sure, 40% of the time I need to have online experience with friends (Fps games / long gaming session), or the games simply don’t feel right on The Deck.

But being able to use it everywhere is just so nice( friend’s place / sitting in garden / on my bed). Plus, I regularly use it as a mini TV, watching YT and Netflix on it.

It’s surprising they’ve paid for an anti-tamper for THAT long, instead of spending those money to keep updating the game.

Being subscribed to this community taught me that even if you trust the company you’re giving your data to(Don’t trust any), it’s still only a matter of “when” it will be leaked not “if”.

It’s just a good rule of thumb that all data you give will end up open/sold.

Did I hear a Rock and Stone!?

Sponge~ Boooob !

Using the Tomtok ultra slim carrying case. It feels very close to the NS’s one , and make carrying it much less of a chore.

Would like to try out the Killswitch, but I remember it takes the place of grip case too (Meaning I can’t use other grip cases).

Typing this on a Zenfone 10.

The good thing is that this phone don’t really have bad querks like ZF8&9, and the 2 years update only means not getting new android features, Zenfone still works perfectly fine a long time after the 2 year mark.

And yes, Asus has been quite an A** hole in the whole bootloader situation, but putting that aside there are still plenty of ways to tinker a phone without root(Fdroid, adb, launcher, netguard, etc…).

I would say If custom ROMs are too important for you, get a Pixel, they are just that good with it.

But if you are willing to look past that, Zenfones are great.

And… then you’ll find out that stuff piled up so high, it crushes motivation too. :(

And the science gets done, and you made a neat distro.

For the people who are using linux.

I just can’t believe how we are supposed to even trust this company not pulling the plug on all of their apps and services.

I avoid google products, but seeing this still hurts knowing that a lot of people will be affected.

Actually glad to hear about this rather than hearing more “Loot boxes” or “Battle pass”.

Too often do we feel hate about bad things, and too little do we voice our love toward good things.

I agree. Context matters!

1. The bigger/closer the screen is the more you’ll be discomforted by low fps.

2. Different genre of games feels different. (Fixed camera games are less likely to dizzy you compared to FPS)

3. I found that input method plays a role too. M&K or Gyro input will feel sluggish in low fps. Wile pure stick inpit might be fine.
