I would piggyback on the people saying to get a PC, and think about building a home theater PC. You can use steam big picture mode to make it act like a console, but you can also use it for other things. You can even use steam’s streaming capabilities to stream to other devices on your network like your phone or laptop if you want to be elsewhere.

4·3 years agothis looks pretty neat, definitely adding to my wishlist.
My wife has struggled with disordered eating, and it’s been a long journey for both of us. She is also tall and got to a really scary place. She’s doing much better now, but it continues to be a process. Keep up the great work and don’t give up!

I really love A Show of Hands by Rush. It’s one of my favorite of their eras, though I feel like the “synth era” isn’t as universally loved by fans

Gaming@beehaw.org•whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether?
3·3 years agoYeah, it wasn’t until my second time starting the game that I took in any of the combat tutorials

Gaming@beehaw.org•I’ve fallen into a deep gaming rut lately. What helped “get you back into” gaming and rediscover the magic of video games?English
4·3 years agoFor me after some time away from PC gaming, getting a steam deck was one thing that got me back into it. The other thing though was definitely selecting relatively short games. I played a lot of open-ended games that I could never finish like rimworld or crusader kings, it was nice to get back into games with a beginning middle and end. And in the same vein it means I’ve been playing stuff that I was interested in playing back in the 2010s but didn’t really have the time/money/hardware for

Chat@beehaw.org•Whatever happened to federal student loan forgiveness?English
8·3 years agoDo you think that a significant number of people who would benefit from some amount of student loan forgiveness are in this situation? Do you believe that it would be good to do nothing so that some undeserving people aren’t helped as well?

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Looking for OneNote AlternativeEnglish
1·3 years agoI’m using it both for notes at work (software development) as well as a separate graph for my own thoughts, ideas, todos, pretty much everything. Using Syncthing to sync my graphs between devices works pretty well, though it’s had a bit of a learning curve in getting it set up.

I’ve been playing Dishonored 2 on my Steam Deck. Played the original for the first time and went through in a pretty non-stealthy high chaos way, so I’m trying to go for a low chaos playthrough here.
I also grabbed Cassette Beasts on sale, so I’ve put a few minutes into that and I’m enjoying the 3D with 2D sprites aesthetic that I loved so much in the NDS Pokemon game

Patient Gamers@lemmy.ml•Katamari Damacy and Katamari Damacy 2English
1·3 years agoKatamari is just such a gem of a game. Totally novel concept, amazing presentation, lots of replayability. Really hard to follow up on that
Where is Phantom Hourglass? I loved that game!

Self-hosting@slrpnk.net•The Fediverse is Inefficient (but that's a good trade-off)
1·3 years agoI really like the gardening analogy. It also feels that way from a user’s perspective since I’m not getting content fed to me by an algorithm, I’m seeking out users and communities to follow and cultivating my own feeds
