Vorthas,

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.

Vorthas,

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,

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.

Vorthas,

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

nnoremap Y y$

Vorthas,
  • Black Lagoon
  • Slayers
  • Canaan
  • Kara no Kyoukai
  • Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex
  • Hellsing Ultimate
  • Outlaw Star
  • Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure

That would be my list.

Vorthas,

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
Vorthas,

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.

Vorthas,

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.

Vorthas,

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?

Despite being a heavy cell phone user for more than 25 years, it only recently occurred to me that vertical navigation on most phones is inverted when compared to traditional computers. You swipe down to navigate upward, and up to navigate downward. I recently spent time using a MacBook, which apparently defaults to this...

Vorthas,

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).

Vorthas,

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

Vorthas,

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

Vorthas,

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.

Vorthas,

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. github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7045#issue…

Apparently there’s been a patch made here: github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7045#issue… so I’ll try that out.

Vorthas,

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.

Vorthas,

It basically means customizing your desktop to look pretty in some way.

Vorthas,

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.

Vorthas,

This exists, but it has the downside of being a web app rather than a native application. Can’t use it offline for instance.

Vorthas,

Canaan’s OP Mind as Judgement is really really good and I rarely hear people talking about it, much less about the anime itself.

I guess I should begin my time here with a classic: what's everyone's favorite Pokemon game(s)?

Mine is Pokemon HGSS (the amount of content is mindboggling), Pokemon Platinum (grandest Pokemon experience) and Pokemon Black 2/White 2 (most fun and unique playthrough). I’m also looking forward to buying Legends: Arceus on the Switch, have heard many great things about it!

Vorthas,

Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, because it has the most available Pokemon (no Dexit). It has Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves. It has a fun Battle Tree and good breeding mechanics. For what I like to do in Pokemon post-game (breeding competitive for battle facilities), it offers the best selection.

For running through the game itself, probably HGSS (big fan of gen 2 since I started with Silver) or Black/White.

Vorthas,

Nope, the bottom right quadrant is the acceptable one. Z is up and follows the right-hand rule. I will die on this hill.

Vorthas,

Tabs belong below the address bar on a browser, not above. Also the menu bar should always be a thing and there should be a title bar as well, not merging the two or three (including tabs) into one single bar.

Vorthas,

A little bit, there’s a lot of specific subreddits I enjoyed browsing and talking in that have yet to reach a good critical mass here on Lemmy. I’ve been sharing my own custom Zelda monsters for Pathfinder 2e on the ZeldaTabletop subreddit and there’s no substitute for that subreddit over here yet (I might make one once RiF dies on June 30th).

Vorthas,

Mostly Commander these days, but overall kitchen table. Not a huge fan of rotating formats, and not a fan of having to put in a ton of money to get a competitive deck (I don't mind spending extra for Commander since it's just singles anyways). Kind of a psychological thing, I don't mind dropping $30 on a single card, but $120 for a playset just feels bad.
