Pixelologist,

Bad bitches is the only thing that I like 🤷

Pixelologist,

Hopefully there will be, although it's going to be a challenge

I feel obligated to recommend a Steam Deck if you have interest in one and can afford it.

We have 2 and I would get a 3rd if I could lol (with a bulky protective case etc. so I can be less careful)

The most cost efficient way to go is buy the cheapest version and then put something like this in it https://www.westerndigital.com/en-il/products/internal-drives/pc-sn740-ssd#SDDPTQD-256G

IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU GET A 2230 SIZED NVME DRIVE. 2280 drives will NOT fit.

If you don't want to do that you can alternatively just get a big micro SD card and save the SSD swap for laterFor best speeds you want it to say A2 and have a 3 inside a U.

Even besides playing video games it's an awesome little mini pc. Not perfect but awesome, and an amazing value at $359.

No that is not true. Also even if you drop it they have a repair center you can ship to that charges fair prices. They have a very positive reputation about this kind of thing (also RMAs, which I went through personally)

Pixelologist,

That's a good question but no, it will work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSWb6jFlDk4

Pixelologist,

Probably because they're losing money on the cheapest one

Pixelologist,

Do you know how much it would cost to cost to ship from the US?

Pixelologist,

There's this sweet rarely known game where you punch trees and build stuff but you've probably never heard of it

Pixelologist,

To add context for people viewing, putting games on a fast micro sd card (A2, 3 in a U) has negligible performance losses compared to putting the game on an internal drive. I was skeptical at first, but other than slightly longer times loading SD cards work beautifully for steamdeck games

Pixelologist,

Minecraft but close enough

Pixelologist,

Damn, I didn't even know that. We're still in the early game, I made a axe like a plebian

Pixelologist,

Me too. I played a lot of pokemon on a GBA emulator with the physical keys

Pixelologist,

Awesome! I asked alyaza if they would consider adding a content creation community. I'm not sure where else it could fit besides maybe gaming

Pixelologist,

It doesn't have to be a spammy place if we don't let it. That's what happens with low quality engagement and moderation. We could create an actual community instead of just people promoting themselves.

If beehaw doesn't want to be that place that's ok, it seems like a good idea to me though.

Here is my comment for visibiltiy

Pixelologist,

It is twofold. one: support in general, and creating a schedule where people watch each other together and greatly boost the likelihood that that stream will be suggested to someone else. Engagement in the chat also greatly boosts the likelihood that new viewers will comment/stay longer.

The other thing is full time streamers live a very specific kind of life that is generally very different from most people. I feel there is value in congregating with other people with the same goals and mindset.

By having a community with schedules/party trains streamers learn about each other and form friendships, and in theory everyone wins. I'm ok with streaming to 0 people and then people watching it later but it's a lot more fun when you have all your friends in the chat with you.

Additionally, certain games (like among us just as an example) are way more fun when you're playing in a voice call with people you know as opposed to random people. Having this sort of community makes a lot of games fun that otherwise wouldn't be. High skill multiplayer games might take months of learning to get good at, but if everyone is new this isn't a problem.

I will think more about what could be done to mitigate the potential issues you mention, but from what I've seen the best way is just to remain small and have a strong focus on community building. Beehaw seems to already have a very compatible culture, although I must admit I am new here.

Pixelologist,

That's what I do so that's where my head is at, but I actually decided to make it ANY form of content creation for the time being.

Any thoughts as to what instance would be best for this? I chose lemmy.world due to its size, but am open to any and all feedback.

I'll try to start populating it tomorrow

Pixelologist,

My question then is what is a good neutral 3rd instance?

Pixelologist,

Tekken 7 is what got me 100% invested in the FGC, strive is my main game currently.

Here are my toys: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/225838

Typically xbox 360 mode is most compatible with PCs so I think you have the right idea. I'd love to get some more sticks since 4/5 of my controllers are leverless.

I recently got a 4080 (upgrading from 1.5gb GTX 580) so I have just begun exploring the world of new games. They're a nice change of pace between my speedrunning and fighting games.

Pixelologist,

Nice! I'm a lot newer to the scene than you are, but I've been playing I-no since strive launch. I kinda fell out of playing but Asuka has me captivated! I love this character. I'm happy to see SF6 bringing in so much new blood

Pixelologist,

Does anyone have before/after images? I never got into skullgirls
