haha I took this screenshot just before I upgraded my system, 64GB now and a 7950X

Finally got round to starting Starfield and all I have to say is… wow

personally I’m moving to self hosting but that’s not viable for everyone. There doesn’t seem to be any direct replacement, other than wikitide but I wouldn’t trust that due to a few factors (ToS and Privacy policy ‘coming soon’ sounds legally dubious)

oh cool, thanks for the info! i’ll source mods manually then, love a good custom pack - feels more like the modpacks from 1.8 days, idk if u played back then

awesome, the pack i was looking at (BigChadGuys plus, idk why its called that) had a focus on pixelmon. Haven’t played pixelmon since it’s early days, excited to see where it’s at now!

i’ve never tried Prism launcher, is it easy to use packs from curseforge? i guess i could always just install the pack in curseforge and copy the mods folder over?

anybody with a deck tried modded minecraft? if i get one and it works i’ll probably end up having another one of those month-long minecraft phases haha

ahhh I’m loving this game so much, only managed to get 30hrs so far as I’m in the middle of exams but I just know I’ll have 200+ as soon as I finish haha

had a friend recommend me to get this so we could play over summer, have you tried the multiplayer?

i switched to linux so that i could customise everything, so ubuntu and manjaro (the first two i used) didn’t really do anything for me. After using a macbook for a bit (still my primary laptop), I found Arch which i now daily drive and love it!

the two i plan on starting this summer are pokemon glazed and pokemon reborn - going in blind, these are just what i’ve been told by friends are the best

idk about gnome but this sounds like you should look into tiling window managers

yeah from what i’ve heard most of them pretty much skip the whole tutorial as anybody playing a romhack has almost certainly played another pokemon game first

awesome! i was just thinking about a ttrpg community

as somebody consdering buying a steamdeck, have you tried emulation at all? I’ve been using a RG35XX atm but it’s quite low power and as a result can only really handle GBA/SNES games - I’d love to play some Wii and DS games on the go.

I haven’t been able to play loads due to exams, but I’m just finishing the last temple now. The colgera (temple of wind) fight has been my favourite so far - definitely not the hardest but its just so satisfying and fun.

I’m just replaying gens 1-5 over and over. I’ve had a few friends recommend RomHacks, and I’m thinking about trying some after finals.

yeah, I mean I’m using a 2060 and still able to play most games at 4k. I’m not playing super hi spec modern games too often, but even those I seem to be able to do at 30fps or just run at 1080p.

nah those things are ugly
