Not a stats guy myself. At most, I get trophies out of something that feels a bit like OCD. Ultimately, I just want to have fun with my games, and not to boast them around. And tbh, one of the reasons I started dropping Steam was precisely the enforced social features (still use it, but now I'm finishing more games than I get instead).
It’s exhausting because I spend a good portion of the day waiting for my mind to start working, and it’s pretty inefficient. I’m trying to figure out what this is all about, like is it temporary due to burnout, Strattera, or something else.
First, I'd suggest flashing a community system ROM. OEM systems are both very bloated, and stop being supported much earlier than community ones, so they're not ideal unless you need to use it with some banking app or the sort. And if you don't need Google's services (de-Google, anyone?), I strongly recommend going for a vanilla system instead of a Gapps one.
Now, as stated in MargotRobbie's comment, one good use is as a media player. If you can sideload stuff like VLC and Librera Reader, you should be covered.
You can also use it for some lighter gaming, if that's your thing, as there's plenty of emulators, wrappers and engine implementations for Android.
You can also use it for running servers, if you do this sort of stuff.
And if you like to test around with softwares, a spare Android device is pretty good to have.
You also need to find instructions specific to your device on how to unlock the bootloader, and a TWRP specific to your device. From there, you do a clean flash through TWRP (erasing certain partitions and then installing the new ROM), and then, you should be good to go.
Hello, the past few weeks i have been a little stressed. I tried to meditate but most generic techniques dont work for me, do you have any that worked?
My "meditation" is singing along musics from power metal, symphonic metal, etc., specially the extra cheesy ones, like Blood of Bannockburn (by Sabaton), Keeper of the Celestial Flame of Abernethy (by Gloryhammer), The Phoenix (by Fall Out Boy), Defenders of Gaia (by Rhapsody of Fire), Venom of Venus (by Powerwolf), etc. Helps me with dealing with situations of pent-up stress.
Got a gaming laptop some months ago, and it is actually very powerful indeed. But it came with Win11 by default, only requiring the final setup. Now... How can a system lag a decent laptop so much.
Needless to say, it didn't take much for me to decide to swap for good ol' Mint Xfce, and even try out a few other Linux systems, and now, pretty much everything runs flawlessly, at most requiring to avoid using the ultra settings.
But indeed, Windows is bloat incarnated, and it only gets worse. So much so it even feels like Win10 on a VM can clog the whole system. Weird how that doesn't happen with Win7, no matter how long I leave it open on a VM.
Final Fantasy II is a good game. Yes, plot sux, but it's a NES game that was never remade on that aspect, so it gets a pass. But for people like me, who either (or both) like to powerlevel, and find enjoyment in abusing game mechanics and oversights, it's a banquet, specially the PSP version and the now-delisted OG Android and iOS versions.
This might sound a bit cliche, but The Lord of the Rings was that book for me. I read it when I was 20. I’d just started my first real job, I’d started to spread my wings a little and I’d finally gotten around to reading this absolute titan of a book....
Can't remember much now, as it's been well over a decade, nearing two, but what I do remember is that, when I was a kid, I had read "Raptor Red" that was lying in a shelf from my home, and I found it great.
I accidentally found out that mpv can play videos from the TTY, meaning I don't have to log in to a graphical session. It even has a scaled OSD, unlike anything I've seen in a terminal UI....
Unsure what are those acronyms, but one text-only Linux program I can't recommend enough is ncdu: it helps managing storage in your system, as well as, indirectly, browsing your files.
No meu notebook antigo, Ubuntu demorava pelo menos 5 minutos para iniciar. Eu literalmente deixava ligando e ia fazer alguma outra coisa. Já com Xubuntu e Mint Xfce na mesma máquina, esse valor consistentemente caia para 1 minuto a 1 minuto e 20 segundos.
m/Conservative is a magazine about environmental conservation, and m/TrueConservative irnonically enough is ran by a left-wing little despot who deletes ideas he disagrees with and lies about people....
Although I'm not looking for such communities/magazines, what I would do is to increase the search scope to look for federated instances too, as each social media have their own vices and tendencies which may hinder variety growth, and federation allows for you to circumvent that while staying on your main.
Since it seems that the Ren'Py PSVita Distribution Tool (GitHub link) lacks of documentation, I think it's worth sharing what I found and had to figure out, specially for non-PS Vita devs like me. It's not meant to be a tutorial, but if people find it useful as such, great! Also, I may edit the post later on as I test it more....
I'd suggest maybe trying to increase the scope of the searches for communities. Like searching for overall language and/or language learning communities. Or worse comes worst, maybe create a community yourself would be interesting too?
The ones I've used enough to have an opinion on are Kbin Social (current one) and Lemmy World. Out of the two, I liked Kbin the most for being the most minimalist. Even if Kbin is the most unstable/beta forum of the two, I still prefer it over all the visual noise of Lemmy World.
Dunno when/how a game is classified a classic, but since PS2 is from the 6th gen, guess I have some suggestions! =D
Ultimate Ninja 5 is pretty cool, I think. Don't like the anime much, but gameplay loop still feels pretty good nowadays. Only released on PAL and NTSC-J regions, though.
Dragon Ball - Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is also pretty fun, coming from someone that also doesn't like the series it comes from.
I guess Godzilla: Unleashed could count as fighting game too? If so, I recommend it too.
I wasn’t able to find out much about this piece, not even the name - so if you know something about it, please post it, and I’ll change the title....
I check sites that list hardware specs, and once I find a phone that seems interesting for an average price I'm willing to pay, I check places like XDA to know how much of a hassle it'll be to unlock the bootloader and add a custom ROM. And if modding the phone has too many/too big drawbacks, I return to the first step until I find a phone that seems good.
But I’ve spent most of the time tweaking and setting up and downloading stuff rather than actually playing. Games seem to work really well. Not doing benchmarking but I really like how stable the framerate is when frame cap is in place. So far everything I’ve tried was absolutely buttery smooth.
And besides the discussion that brought the controversy, from what I can gather, Linux benefits the most from KVM, making using a virtual machine with some super old Linux system in it very viable. ^_^
Then you can filter pages around, subscribe to pages as they pick your interest, etc.
Then, if it's anything like Lemmy World about sorting (can't verify since I don't have an account in your instance), you can visit https://lemm.ee/?dataType=Post&listingType=Subscribed&page=1&sort=New to check all your subscribed contents, and by newest (I recommend "newest" because I get the impression posts start repeating themselves after a while with other sorting features).
Technically not the first of such project I'm doing, but I imagine OneDrive sheets are easier to manage and format than Fandom/Wikia, have bigger scope than Retropie and GOG's forums, and are much lighter than Google's sheets....
