  • The Steam Deck Crushed It In 2023
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    Right now I'm mostly playing Pokemon Prismatic Moon (a difficulty ROMhack of Ultra Moon) but I got Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Xenogears, Xenosaga (all three), Xenoblade Chronicles, and a good number of other Nintendo games and games not on Steam.

  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    The Steam Deck was an amazing purchase for me. I put on EmuDeck and a bunch of ROMs and can play those from the Steam interface while also playing many of my Steam games and it's now a great all-arounder.

  • what caused you to get into Linux?
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    Once Windows got rid of the gorgeous Aero theme starting in Windows 8, plus the shitty UI/UX that Windows got again starting in Windows 8, pushed me to Linux.

    I always like to remap Y to yank from current position to end of line, so it works just like D.

  • Your chosen desktop Linux defaults?
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    Honestly because it's quite customizable, that's about it. Being able to customize my software to look and work the way I want them to is a big reason why I use certain programs over others.

  • Your chosen desktop Linux defaults?
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    EndeavourOS as the distro of choice for easy installation and AUR access.

    Depending on the DE, if it's not MATE, I almost always install Caja, Engrampa, and MATE Calculator since they just have the most sane look and UX to them for my use cases.

    • Waterfox as my browser of choice (reason over Firefox is that it offers tabs below address bar as an option in Preferences rather than mucking about in userChrome.css files that often break on updates)
    • Vivaldi as a secondary browser for websites that only render right in Chromium
    • Kitty as my terminal of choice.
    • Clementine as my music player of choice
    • yt-dlp for downloading Youtube videos as mp3s
    • htop over top, also have gotop for a more graphical look
    • exa over ls

  • What's your preferred DE?
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 81%

    MATE as is or Xfce with some MATE software (swapping Thunar for Caja, swapping the XFCE calculator program for MATE's calculator, using Engrampa instead of whatever Xfce uses for a file archive manager, etc.). I like things simple and following roughly the same paradigm that I've used for years.

    And for the love of god, PLEASE KEEP MENU BARS AS THEY WERE IN THE PAST! Stop removing menu bars from programs in favor of "hamburger buttons" or whatever nonsense modern programs like to use! That's honestly one of my biggest gripes with "modern" software, they keep changing the paradigm to something that I haven't used and I can't be bothered to relearn everything.

  • Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 66%

    I disagree. I actually like the LibreOffice, non-tabbed, UI. It's a UI/UX that I'm used to from Office 2003 and honestly prefer. The 2007+ ribbon interface makes things harder for me to find.

  • Microsoft might want to be making Windows 12 a subscription OS, suggests leak
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 83%

    Anything after 7 is bad in my eyes. I HATE the direction Windows went with the UI style, doing away with the Vista and 7 Aero look. Plus Windows 10 drives me up the wall trying to find the proper settings (is it Settings or Control Panel? Why do we have both?!).

  • Ask Lemmy: Traditional vs natural mouse scrolling; which do you use?
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    Traditional for everything. Scrolling down means the view goes down. The mouse controls the camera (the reason why I always invert Y axis on controllers).

  • What is your favorite terminal emulator.

    Been using kitty for a while now, though honestly any terminal emulator works for me.

  • Wayland or X11? Why?
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    X11. It just works for me, no reason to switch. Plus I exclusively use Xfce or MATE which as far as I know do not have Wayland support.

    How do you decide what treasure to give players?
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    Usually I would swap out some existing loot for different but equivalent in level and power (roughly) to better fit the party in this case. Still leave normal loot in for the party to either figure out how to use or sell, but throw them a bone or two as needed.

    Nope, never learned. I'm 31 in the US. Never had the need to learn as I was raised with automatics only.

  • ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON runs well on Steam Deck and desktop Linux
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    Plays somewhat well, but I get an amdgpu gfx_timeout crash within seconds of starting the Baltheus fight. This is apparently a known issue with the game itself (something about shaders not being calculated properly, which given the boss has a ton of particle effects, makes sense) so I'll have to wait til that gets fixed. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7045#issuecomment-1693816570

    Apparently there's been a patch made here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7045#issuecomment-1697542953 so I'll try that out.

  • Stop using Brave Browser
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    That's why you install an adblocker like uBlock Origin in Firefox. The browser isn't responsible for blocking ads, that's what add-ons are for.

  • What's your favorite Linux Desktop software?
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    The Caja file manager. Hell the MATE desktop environment in general is just perfect for me. Xfce is acceptable too, though the inclusion of CSD in recent Xfce releases has made me a bit more wary of it when it comes to theming.

    I also use Waterfox as my browser. A Firefox fork that has the option to put tabs below address bar (where they belong imo) out of the box without needing to muck around with the userChrome.css file.

    Xfce4 rice from the mid2000s
  • Vorthas Vorthas Now 100%

    Yeah the term comes from the same one used for customizing cars. As to why it's been used for desktop customization, I have no idea, but that's where it's from.

    Bestiary of Hyrule: A Legend of Zelda bestiary for Pathfinder 2e
    https://scribe.pf2.tools/v/8JvddWY4-bestiary-of-hyrule

    Just wanted to start up this Homebrew community by sharing a link to a bestiary I've been working on for PF2e filled with monsters from the Legend of Zelda series. It's still very much a work in progress but I already have several dozen monsters ranging from levels -1 to level 18 so far.

    Can be any format. For Commander decks, I have at least 5 Dragon tribal decks already and am planning to try to build a dragon tribal deck out of every possible multi-color combination plus mono-red eventually. But Slivers and Eldrazi are up there too as two of my favorite tribes to build around.

    Is there a way to have Lemmy instances render in wide-screen mode (sort of like old reddit or older themes of Wikipedia)? I really dislike the default look of everything being in the center with tons of blank space on both sides (I use 1440p monitors). For what it's worth, I came up with the following Stylus css script to work on the lemmy.ml (also works on github.com for what it's worth if you so choose): ``` .container, .container-lg, .container-md, .container-sm, .container-xl { max-width: 2560px !important; } .col-md-8 { flex: 0 0 85% !important; max-width: 85% !important; } .col-md-4 { flex: 0 0 15% !important; max-width: 15% !important; } ``` Can just adjust max-width under the .container* options to whatever you want (I chose to set it to my monitor's width). The col-md-8 and col-md-4 are for the main content and sidebar respectively, so I have main content at 85% of the width and sidebar at 15% of the width. Result looks similar to this: https://i.imgur.com/FMAZYbh.png Published my style here for use on Stylus: https://userstyles.world/style/10168/1440p-lemmy
