Same here but 80fps. It’s been a great time.

I just got an ultimate 2 and it’s nice, but I prefer my DualShock 4 ergonomics. I will however get a steam controller over this because of the touch pads.

I played Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip and laughed multiple times in the first few minutes

Right!

I finished the first of the Mars trilogy. I just found it for the most part very boring. I started the second but moved on to other books. I’m sure I’ll finish them but they just need to be after things I desire to read more.

I have a stock pixel 10. I mostly just ignore it because I have so much more shit going on in my life that needs my attention. The last thing I want is a more complicated phone. Also it’s a work phone so it’s free for me so I just try and keep personal stuff to a minimum on it.

Google provides functionality for me and my family. Sure it would be nice to be able to trust that my data is mine. But Google photos is great to keep my family photos all shared with people who want to see them. Maybe when I have lower life overhead or Google really makes things bad for me would I consider taking on more technical responsibilities for my privacy.

I play a game called townsfolk that’s pretty fun but it’s free for the basic stuff but a one time purchase unlocks a bunch of content.

We got the Bambino because the grinder is not included. This way if the grinder breaks we can just get a new and different grinder!

Wouldn’t it be cool if people used loops instead!

I’ve got a 6800xt and it runs really well on medium settings. Looks pretty good as well. Never had the game crash on me either. It’s 60fps but I’m cool with that. Gameplay feels smooth at that and it’s steady. No upscaling no frame Gen. 3440x1440.

I have heard a lot of people are having issues with Nvidia hardware though.

If you wanted to you could host your own server with Owncast.

Owncast

I set one up on an old laptop and it worked well enough the few times a mucked around with it.

I need to get rid of my Diocletian patch…

Having a 6 and 8 year old is very time consuming! The good news is I have 2 nights a week of D&D which gets me a bit of social time. Though not face to face.

Depends. I find making new friends very difficult because I don’t have many of the same interests and the rest of the people that I naturally get exposed to via my kids, wife or life. I work from home and don’t have much time for social hobbies. I go to concerts sometimes but I really struggle to make conversation with strangers. I can see how someone like me would end up being lonely for a long time.

Mine is I have IgA Nephropathy!

I love my Kobo Clara. I’ve read more in the past few years of ownership than I did the 10 years before. Plus I have a calibre-web server that it syncs with so I don’t have to manually move things over.

It was ok. It felt like it needed something. The basic ship was clunky feeling to fly and the weapons felt mediocre. The enemies didn’t feel fun to fight either. But it was fun with my friends. But I think that was spending time with them more than the game was. I walked away from the game not disliking it, but not having any particular interest in playing any more of it.

Even just the RTS games that never came out. Northgard is great on the deck!

Pretty much. If it works for the steam deck it should work for the desktop. There are some exceptions for some brand new games. But if you want to wait a week or two for new releases usually it’s fine.

I have a sit/stand desk and it’s great. I feel like my posture has improved and being on my feet all day bothers me less. I really want to get a small treadmill so I can walk and work. That would be the dream.
