I will just not purchase an console anymore, don’t need one anyway due to have a good PC.
- Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game 2 weeks ago:
I think another good example would be Cyberpunk 2077. Its release was insanely horrible but it seems they managed to solve it somehow.
Haven’t really followed the gaming news regards this game though. However, I hope they manage to find a solution. The Ori games were truly masterpieces (in my opinion).

Last time I checked, uBlock blocked ads on Spotify.
Yeah, your right. uBlock Origin block advertisement on the browser. However, Spicetify blocks advertisement within the desktop app and allows for multiple add-ons/ extension plus customizing your entire app.

There’s no reason to waste your time on ads.
- Comment on Jeremy Renner Turned Down ‘Hawkeye’ Season 2 Because He Was Offered ‘Half’ His Season 1 Salary: ‘Did You Think I’m Only Half the Jeremy Because I Got Ran Over?’ 3 weeks ago:
That’s what you say now because you are not in that situation. But I’m quite certain you would not. Because if you know, you used to have for example 500k salary and suddenly it would be 250k, you would refuse and want the full 500k. No matter whether you produce “slob”.
I certainly would not be okay with getting my salary suddenly halved. No matter what kind of work or salary it first was.
- Comment on Jeremy Renner Turned Down ‘Hawkeye’ Season 2 Because He Was Offered ‘Half’ His Season 1 Salary: ‘Did You Think I’m Only Half the Jeremy Because I Got Ran Over?’ 3 weeks ago:
I sort of find it funny and sad that some people expect another person to do the same work (or similar) for half the salary. While most of us would not do that if it wasn’t needed. Sure, he’s rich but money is money.
Would you do the same work you’re currently doing for half the salary when you know, you can get the same or better salary elsewhere? I don’t think so.
Renner went on to suggest that the proposed lower salary was a result of his near-fatal 2023
Though his take on this is… well, odd.
“This is not Marvel, mind you. This is like, just Disney, not even really Disney. It’s just the penny pinchers, the accountants. I told them to go fly a kite. I mean, just at the at the insult offer. So we didn’t see eye to eye on it,”
It’s sad that he became arrogant. He could’ve just let it at “no, I will not do it”.
- Comment on Netflix Renews Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Series 'The Eternaut' for Season 2 3 weeks ago:
Anyone watched this show and could tell if it’s worth to watch?
- Comment on What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week? 4 weeks ago:
Quick summary because I’m at work; I found it a very good show.
- Decent/ good story.
- Good action.
- Good acting (both the guy from Fantastic beast and the woman from LaCasaDePapel).
- It did not overstay, the episodes were just about right for the show.
- Comment on I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought. 4 weeks ago:
I have been using IPS displays for many years, and I had to look up what is IPS glow.
I was the same as you with my old (still current) monitor but then, I bought the DELL and it was well, very notable: DELL IPS Glow (IPS Bleed?). To the point it was not a black screen anymore. It never really bothered me until, I had the DELL for a short time.

Smear and ghosting are bad on VA in my experience. I had one around when Miles Morales first came out and it was so bad I thought my tv was broken, and Samsung agreed and sent a guy to replace the panel.
That’s what I have been reading here and there, that VA are good for visuals (movies, tv shows and such) but bad for gaming. Though it seems that some people have a decent experience with VA panels when gaming but I don’t want to risk it (yet). Unfortunate that the new panel did the same thing.
bought an OLED.
How has the OLED monitor been for you when gaming (and either general usage or office work)? Response time, text clarity, motion and actual black screen? Since like another person said that there’s not really one-fit and always have to have a compronis (IPS with glow and OLED with possible burn-in), I’m tempted to purvhase an OLED monitor for around €600 and then just save up money for when the burn-in happens. I have been trying to find a decent monitor for quite a few months, so I have become a bit impatient and just want a good monitor to game mostly (say 80% gaming and the 20% is either browsing, movies, tv shows and office work).
- Comment on I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, so from them (Monitor Unboxed) and Rtings I had gotten to the point to purchase the DELL G2724D but unfortunately that ended in bad luck.
- Comment on I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought. 4 weeks ago:
How’s gaming on the monitor? I kept reading about how VA isn’t good for gaming due to black smearing and motion blur issue.
Yeah, the IPS glow is a major issue. When I bought the 24G2 4 years ago, it was on a whim and probably had luck. Now it’s tough to find a good IPS monitor.

- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 5 weeks ago:
Recently finished university and got my first job in basic accounting. All I do is well, watch videos on phone, messages people and a bit of accounting here and there. Boring, relaxing and that’s about it. Going to stick with it for a year and then prolly find new work.
- Comment on Nintendo lawyers want to force Discord to reveal Pokémon Teraleak source 5 weeks ago:
The more I read about Nintendo, the more genuine dislike I get for them. The only thing I read, hear and see are negative bullshit for some petty reason they’ve.
I hate how such a shit company holds so many good nostalgic games. Truly hoping for a quick hack on the Switch 2 and a PC emulation (and I hope truly, hope that Palworld wins the whole fiasco).
- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 1 month ago:
You can change your context with a new console, but I think it may be cheaper to do something like buying a controller and playing games while standing up, or on your couch/armchair
I will try this! Will try the standing. Though, eventually I’ll sit due just tired of standing up. The gaming PC is in my bedroom so there’s not really much room for couch and such.
I have a controller that, I often use but same issue happens of being exhausted of the feeling ‘being behind a desk and screen’.
You can also achieve this by identifying the things that you have to do in your job that mirror videogame genres you enjoy and picking a game that shares few of those qualities.
The thing is, I don’t think anything mirrors my work. I currently have a very basic accounting job and it’s not even that demanding. My work week exists of a mix with doing accounting, listen to podcasts, watching videos on phone and such.
It’s one of the most relax work I have ever had to be honest. Yet it’s the first job where this feeling of exhaustion started.
- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 1 month ago:
I also find stress relief games. Mindless 3rd person action games for me. Mad Max was great because I could drive around picking fights or crashing stuff. The Batman Arkham games and the Shadow of Mordor games are other great examples for me.
Yeah, so for me it would be most Switch games through emulation (such as Captain Toad, 3D World and Odyssey) and P3R/P5R.
I have not found any relaxing “cozy” games that work for me. Nothing has really grabbed my attention enough to stick with.
I checked ‘cozy’ games but like you, they don’t seem to be my type of games.
I’m truly debating about the Deck but €670 is a lot to invest when being uncertain. Also what if it wouldn’t fix the exhaustion issue of screens and desks.
- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 1 month ago:
How long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment.
For about 2 months and a few days now. So I think, I already adjusted to the changes.
School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people.
Definitely! It was tough the first few weeks, lol.
Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.
At the moment I don’t yet, I purposely asked if I could work full time at office. I still live with parents and the distractions are a bit much. Might try working from home sooner or later though.

Just use Real-Debrid with Stremio and you can toss out every streaming service after that.
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 1 month ago:
I don’t see the problem with having both- they fill different niches.
Money. Steam Deck OLED costs in my country €700, Switch OLED €350-360 and the Switch 2 will be around the €560-600.
steam deck, I’d be really sad to not have any Mario kart, Zelda, etc…
I’m so close on purchasing a Steam Deck OLED to game in weekends or in bed after full 5 days behind a desk job. But I’m always worried that these games won’t work well with emulations. I’ve been researching like crazy but keep reading different things.
And spending €700 with uncertainty is not my favorite thing to do.
- Comment on Gen Z's safe space - Sick of Musk and Zuckerberg, Gen Zers are flocking to Tumblr 1 month ago:
I’m wondering how Tumblr is a safe space while it’s still filled with porn-bots. I tried the platform several times and no matter what I do, I always get smacked with some random NSFW content.
- Comment on Thoughts on Mario Kart World 1 month ago:
Seemed fun but I noped out of everything the moment, I heard the prices.
Steam Deck OLED + Emulations is the way to go.
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #8 1 month ago:
Heavy emulator user here, the Deck made my Switch obsolete
Oh wow, that the Steam Deck had such an effect on the usage of the switch.
If you don’t mind the tinkering to get the emulators configured, the Deck is a no-brainer for me
I don’t really mind tinkering with it, already know my ways with emulation on PC. However, I have no knowledge on Linux and that’s what worries me a bit.
However, the Deck can also run every other console up until Switch/PS3/Xbox 360
So the Steam Deck can run the PS2 emulation and play these games (just as the PC can?).
Most of the games of the Switch I’d like to play are the Mario games. I can name them all if necessary but will do it later (at the moment at work).
On the Deck, ToTK can struggle to reach even 30 in many areas without community modpacks.
Can the Steam Deck run Breath of the Wild without issue?
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #8 1 month ago:
As I’m uncertain how strict this instance is regarding sailing high seas, I’ll just mention that 95% of my games are through sailing the seas including emulating.
I’d recommend a Steam Deck
Alright! I will message you on Matrix but if it is okay, it’ll be on Saturday or Sunday due to work.

Always love reading your posts!
You seem to emulate a lot on Steam Deck (right?). May I ask how smooth the emulation of Switch games goes?
I have been heavily debating between Switch OLED and the Steam Deck (and then emulate Switch games). But keep hearing different things about how smooth things run.
Steam deck going to cost €700 while Switch €550 (switch + get someone to mod it).
Also; I assumed that BlueSky can see posts from Mastodon but unfortunately can’t find you through BlueSky.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 24th 2 months ago:
I’m currently playing Final Fantasy 16, about 3 hours in. So far, so good.
Once (finally) my new monitor arrives, I’ll re-start with couple of games that I had to put down due to monitor giving me trouble (white lines, lagging and such);
- Last of us part 1 remake
- Plague tale requiem
- Hell Blade 2
