Yeah it was a little over a year ago lol

I was there all those years ago…

The owner had the domain itjust.works, and was in some large thread asking what subdomain they should use, and some genius said “sh”.

PCGamingWiki has that info for most titles I believe. It would be nice to see it in Steam though.

I use Ecosia (which uses Bing results) and it seems decent, although I haven’t used Google or DDG in a while so I can’t compare.

Amazon Sidewalk?

It’s great. I also downloaded DigiLux so I can swipe left and right to change brightness as well.

An interesting comment from when this was asked a year ago.

Funniest one imo is Lemmegians (as in Norwegians). Not a very practical name though.

It even comes with the engine! You can right-click on a node or property and click “open documentation” and it opens in the code editor

Nix as well

I have home and root partitions encrypted with LUKS, and since they use the same password it automatically unlocks both of them. I think it tries using the first successful password to unlock the other partitions.

Started playing Factorio again with a friend, been fun so far. Just today I played Tooth and Tail again which is really cool, as well as Skullgirls Second Encore which I’m not great at but is still fun.

I wish

I love Loop Habit Tracker, I’ve been using it for almost 3 years and it works great.

Yeah, it probably looks quite a lot better. This one doesn’t look great in dark scenes, and I can see how per-pixel dimming would be a big improvement even in brighter scenes. But this one looks a lot better than my old TN monitor at least, and I just did not want to worry about burn-in or brightness degradation. I’m also a CS student so I do a decent bit of programming, and I got it for a crazy deal from Best Buy for $550, while the Alienware looks to be around $1000.

In terms of brightness, I used to run my old monitor at the lowest possible, but now I kinda wish this one could get even brighter than it is lol.

Now that I’ve gotten a taste of true HDR though, I can see how an oled would fix quite a few issues with this one. Thinking about it now I think I might rather have a 1440p oled than this 4k MiniLED, HDR just makes that big of an impact. Although most of the time this one looks pretty good. I was just hoping this would last me a while until MicroLED or something actually came out.

Maybe 3% voted for a third party, and because they aren’t shown the other bars were expanded to fill the entire space

I have an Acer XV275K P3, a Mini-LED 4k 160hz monitor, and I’d say it looks pretty good. If games have FSR 2, like Baldur’s Gate 3, then I can run them at 1080p and they still look pretty nice.

There is a noticeable difference between running 1440p and 4k, but I’m not sure how that compares to native 1440p since I’ve never had one. It doesn’t look terrible I’d say. I only have an RX 7600 so on games like Doom Eternal I play at 1080p which still looks pretty good. Forza Horizon 5 looks and runs great at 4k though.

I’d say honestly going to a good HDR monitor is a bigger difference than running games at higher resolutions. It looks really nice, mine is MiniLED not an oled, so dark scenes can look weird sometimes (mainly in movies, not games), but the benefit is it can get really bright. And the colors are incredible. HDR doesn’t have any performance impact as well, and SDR content will also look better simply because you have a nice monitor.

Some splitscreen multiplayer games I’ve played and enjoyed:

• It Takes Two - 2 player couch. Amazing game
• Octodad - 4p. Every player controls one or two limbs of an octopus, who needs to pretend to be a normal father
• Nom Nom Galaxy - 2 player couch, 4 player online. Land on an alien planet and build a soup factory. Collect ingredients and fight against another corporation.
• Crawl - 4p. One player is a hero running through a dungeon, the other players control monsters trying to kill them. Whoever kills the hero then becomes the hero. Whoever kills the boss first, wins. Great soundtrack and art.
• Stick Fight - 4p. Competitive yet silly ragdoll combat game
• Magicka 1 and 2 - 4p. Wizard game, create spells by mixing elements and blow up a bunch of goblins.
• Stikbold! - 4p. Dodgeball game, a decent bit of skill involved. Can fight each other or against AI.
• Tooth and Tail - 4p. An RTS game that works well on controllers, you control an army of woodland creatures and have to kill / eat the others. Great soundtrack and art. Can play PvP or against AI.
• Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - 4p. Work together to pilot a spaceship and kill monsters and save people.
• Guns, Gore & Cannoli - 4p. Arcadey shoot lots of zombies side scroller.
• Treadnauts - 4p. Fight each other by driving tanks on walls
• Ultimate Chicken Horse - 4p. Design a shared platforming level with traps, so that you’re able to get to the end but the other players can’t.
• All the Lego games - 2p.
• Stardew Valley - 4p. Grow a farm and befriend villagers
• Speedrunners - 4p. Just run and do parkour faster than the other players
• the Trine games - 3p. Cooperative adventure / puzzle game.
• Wizard of Legend - 2p. Wizard roguelike

• Spelunky - 4p. Roguelike, delve into a cave searching for gold and riches

HDR (and VRR) have been working for me for the past few months (Plasma 6, AMD), but I still keep Windows around for some games and yeah there’s no way I’m trying VR on Linux. I think I get noticeably worse performance on Linux as well, I think there’s some issue I need to fix with that.

kid3 can apply metadata based on the filename if that’s useful for you (just things like title and track depending on how you name your files). I also use it for manually editing metadata once in a while, selecting multiple songs and setting the same artist or album tag is pretty easy to do.

I’m not sure how well it works as a mood tracker, but I love this app, I’ve been using it for years.
