I'll just die, thanks.

Have a look through this list. There are so many great games that hold up really well today.

PSP has such a great games library and emulates so well on phones. I owned a PSP back in the day and played it constantly, but still I feel like I'm getting so much out of the games I didn't play back then.

Try China Town Wars. It's disappointing that top down games like that don't get made more often.

"Report Abuse"

Agree with all that. "The year of Linux" will be built up to incrementally; and the fact that gaming is so good on Linux pushes that a long way.

The Steam Deck is what pushed me to change to full-time PC Linux myself. Having hardware with pre-installed Linux that works flawlessly has been great.

Mine was a pre-release preorder as well.

I wouldn't upgrade it now. Knowing me, I'll probably end up waiting till 2027 and buy a secondhand device from 2026.

I mostly play indie 2D games, so games I want still work fine. The revised Deck has a bunch of improvements I would have liked (OLED, WiFi 6, etc). If there are enough improvements in usability (screen, WiFi, size, battery, hardware power), then I'll upgrade and give the old device to my kids (who currently use it for more than 75% of the time anyway).

I hope so too, but I don't think a shift that big is coming any time soon.

Linux users are still a tiny proportion of the online player base. Steam Deck sales are negligible compared to Switch or console sales.

I hope it happens eventually,but I think it's going to take much longer for AAA gaming corps to take Linux seriously.

Hyped about the devices we're going to see over the next year or so. Should be just in time to replace my first release Steam Deck as a noticeable upgrade.

If you're looking for a "life hack" to make any exercise instantly enjoyable, then that's really not going to happen.

But you sound like you're motivated to start exercising so that's great. You can add this in layers to make this genuinely enjoyable:

1. find something you like (for me: weight lifting and squash are fun. Running and swimming are hell)
2. Decide on a fixed time (for me: 10pm every day is designated for exercise)
3. Make it as simple as possible and remove as many barriers as possible (for me: I don't sit to watch TV or play video games close to exercise time, otherwise I know I'm not going to get up again. I put on exercise clothes when I get home from work so I'm already ready when the time comes).
4. Add something else that's really enjoyable (For me: I have a TV series that I only watch when I'm in the gym. So if I want to find out what happens next, I'll have to go to the gym tomorrow.)
5. Make this routine (once you're habituated to doing this regularly, then it stops taking will power to force yourself and is just embedded in your routine)
6. Forgive yourself for missing sessions (any time you miss a session, it doesn't matter, you'll start making progress again any time you start exercising again)
7. Make it social (some people love this and you can do exercise with someone. I personally hate that and I love the meditative solitude of exercise time)

I came to say, the top pic is pretty metal too.

I haven't found any. Anything of that sort would need heavy handed and laborious moderation and would lend itself to quite a lot of bias from moderators. Your best bet is to do this sort of thing locally with a small group of friends (or internet friends).

Oh look, it's my 2 kids who decided to wake up at 5am and are wondering why I'm not awake yet.

Punchline isn't even funny. Anyone who laughs is an idiot and the creator deserves to die.

This is not a question for Lemmy.

Could be anything from dry eyes to glaucoma. Get it checked.

Is this the trend now? Dog theme?

👍

make you attack me

Oof. Totally not an attack.

Isn't this the point of therapy? That we can change out own world by working on how our brain perceives and processes it.

Circle of influence vs circle of concern. The answer still lies within you to be able to calibrate your mind to be able to live through a shit situation, and do what you feel able to improve it.

I have trouble making friends and breaking the ice too. I'm going to go around giving out money to break the ice too. Is $7 enough? How much conversation time do I get for that?

I agree completely and struggle with the same.

Lemmy is too small and insular. Only mainstream (politics) or echo chamber (Linux) content gets enough momentum.

Reddit was large enough that you could shun the main communities and still find enough content in really niche communities.

People also don't stick to designated communities and posts overflow to all sorts of places. I block all politics, but want to see memes. But all the meme communities are overflowing with political memes.

It's a difficult time politically too, and Lemmy (socially liberal) is very much against incumbents (conservative nationalists) in most parts of the world.

My advice would be to expect little relevant content. Use an app that let's you block things (I like Boost). Block all the communities and keywords you want (Trump, parliament, elections, Ukraine, etc etc). Ultimately cut back on social media use as it will always focus on politics. Go directly to sites that cover content you like.
