Shrinkflation!

Great app, been using it for years

Daily backups. Currently using restic on my NixOS servers. To avoid data corruption, I make a zfs snapshot at 2am, and after that restic does a backup of my mutable data dirs both to my local Nas and CloudFlare r3. The Nas backup folder is synced to backblaze nightly as well for a more cold store.

Tbh I tire of society and it’s insurance of putting things in labelled boxes.

It means different things to different people based on their age and experiences growing up.

For me it’s PS2 backwards.

I’ve been using logseq with syncthing for sync, across laptop/desktop/Android. Works ok, app can be a little chunky though and sometimes the manualness of coding queries can. E annoying. I have used joplin, trillium, Zim and a few others in the past. Installed silver bullet as a try too but haven’t gotten far into playing with it

Not digital. I used to preorder popular games way back before digital was a thing as supply could be tight, but it makes zero sense in a digital world where they can’t run out of supply.

Especially with how the trend today is release and drop hotfixes (or in some cases just laugh to the bank) I won’t drop $$$ until its in a good state

When AI appeared in my android text messaging app was the day I relented and installed GrapheneOS. Between Graphene and Bazzite on laptop/desktop, and NixOS for homelab/self hosted tools,.couldn’t be happier to be free from all big tech BS while still getting tech benefits on my own terms

I remember this, but apparently I was young enough to not make the connection!

Mate informed me a hour ago his OG LCD battery is dead and it only runs on external power now…

Good thing they are somewhat repairable!

Yeah I’d say so - but you can’t put the genie in the bottle.

It’s just fighting for who gets the privilege to do so

This is shaping up to be shiiit. PLS make smaller games with less staff and stop chasing bigger is better.

I fucking loved doom 2016 and the tightness of SP design was a feature

When I can finally beat act 1 boss I’ll be there with ya… I’m usually good at deck builders… usually…

Inscyption, dredge, ufo50, hades

We played in beta, pre-blueprints and will loop back around for another play now it’s 1.0 That said, it didn’t grab us as much as factorio did

Factorio - 1200hrs

TF2 - ??? But lots

Counterstrike source - ??? As above

Satisfactory - 150

Rimworld/hell divers 2 /wargame red dragon / both new xcoms - 100-150hrs

I would have high scores on other titles before steam started tracking playtime / pre-steam

But… just one more turn

Been great for me but I have had to clear config a few times to get settings to stick. Been mainly playing switch/with though, haven’t tried GBA. I have done writeups years ago on manually setting up emulators/steam rom manager, so I think they’ve done a great job automating a lot of it away… But at the end of the day it’s still a fiddly proposition

I also only got my first deck last month a d went through a similar though.

I’d suggest:

• Play with it a bit stock. It’s a great experience and you really don’t NEED more.
• If you have any interest in playing older consoles, Emudeck is an amazing experience and worth it for the ‘oh wow’ factor
• Add Plex / streaming though flathub/discover and add to steam for travel streaming
• Consider decky for a few QOL menu additions
• For pick up and put down games review threads on indies for games you’ll love. Balatro, Hades, Dave the diver, dredge, undertale, into the breech, FTL, the list is quite long and there are utter gems, but it will be dictated by what you enjoy

Very much free space 2 here. 99 was a fine year for games.

Deus ex and system shock 2 should definitely be on a retro shooter/rpg list. Shock 1, you’d probably be better off playing night dives shock remake from last year… or perhaps a modified remaster of the OG. The controls from shock1 are outright painful
