Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, the cyberpunk aesthetic, Linux, photographing graffiti, and firmware modding.
I’ve switched instances a few times due to technical issues.
- Comment on Valve won't sacrifice battery life to deliver a more powerful Steam Deck 2 1 month ago:
I’m glad they aren’t planning on releasing incrementally upgraded devices.
Retroid makes a lot of handheld emulators that are decent quality but it feels like they release a new model every few months that’s just slightly better than the last. It’s an easy way to feel cheated and hesitant about what you’re buying.
- Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living? 2 months ago:
It’s more the need aspect you mentioned that I’m talking about. People living with what works or is good enough. I feel like it can be totally be intentional. I imagine a lot of people just sleep with a mattress on the floor because they don’t feel like a bed frame is necessary for example.
Where people draw the line is one of the things I’d find interesting if that makes sense

What would be something homey but not presentable?
- Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living? 2 months ago:
I get you. I rarely have other people over. I feel like if I had to start over, like if my place burnt down, I would live more like that
- Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living? 2 months ago:
Gotcha. I feel like they might have the recliner there to potentially have easy access to the counter and outlet that’s also nearby
- Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living? 2 months ago:
Like the post says this isn’t my place it’s a really common meme and meme template. I’m looking for communities of people who live like this.
It’s kind of minimalist but without the stressed cleanliness and lack of all clutter
- Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living? 2 months ago:
I feel like that’s 3/4 well furnished full spaces and the last quarter is people posting after getting divorced
It did help me find MaleSurvivingSpace which seems a bit more like what I was describing with people having more of just the essentials without clutter
- Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living? 2 months ago:
It’s not an issue. Just a meme that’s common and demonstrates kind of what I’m after
- Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living? 2 months ago:
Thanks but that’s still kind of on the fringe of what I’m looking for. I feel like that’s more about working within the confines of the van rather than living effectively.
Someone trying that might be stuck using a hotplate but they could still have a decent sized mattress and gaming setup for example if that makes sense. It seems more like living densely

- Comment on From a cyber security aspect how hazardous are random mini PCs from Ali Express/Amazon if you are starting with a fresh OS install? 2 months ago:
I’m consider getting one for surfing the web on a secondary monitor. Nothing important is occurring but I asked this question for two reasons.
- I’m a nerd who finds a lot of this neat
- It can be hard to create a threat profile if you don’t know a threat exists.
Plenty of people put some level of work into making their PC’s OS more secure using YouTube tutorials and tips but they may not think to update their BIOS for example

Do most motherboards receive long term support updates? I feel like I’ve only ever gotten a few updates for the ones I’ve used but maybe that was because I was buying older boards.

I feel like there has to be more movies with this premise
- Comment on GTA Online update pops a quality-of-life feature behind the GTA+ paywall, making it unavailable on PC 5 months ago:
allows you to collect cash accumulated in safes, request vehicles and replenish ammo using your in-game phone - but only if you pay up $8 or $7 a month for a GTA+ subscription, which is currently not available on PC.
- Comment on Why do many search engines seem to ignore operators (e.g. exact phrases, term exclusions, OR, etc.)? Is there a good reason for having a dumb 1997-level search logic that I'm not seeing? 5 months ago:
Have you not had much luck using operators?
I’ve found them relatively reliable

- Comment on Does different parts of the world use different standards for water pressure similar to voltages? 5 months ago:
Is that substantial though or is it like calling 120V something like 110V/115V?
- Comment on Beloved and janky spy RPG Alpha Protocol returns to Steam after four year absence 5 months ago:
Glad it’s back. It was considered abandonware for a while there.
I played it on my PS3 not too long ago and it’s definitely a middle of the road game. It feels ambitious and like it fell flat at the same time. The game gives you a decent amount of choice but it didn’t feel fun enough to replay. For a spy game I didn’t think it had the best stealth mechanics.
- Comment on What's up with all the "___punk" stuff? 5 months ago:
I believe the term punk has kind of drifted towards a catch-all term to describe something that clashes against what is considered the norm for most people.
There are definitely traditional punk themes in genres like cyberpunk and solarpunk. I feel like with dieselpunk and steampunk it’s largely a matter aesthetics.
Kind of an easy way to describe broad themes. If you are looking for a game similar to Mad Max for example with a post apocalypse desert that’s full of scavengers it might be easier to just use the term desertpunk.

The other person was also in the process of turning away and leaving.
- Comment on In Dystopika you are the chill landscaper of a vast cyberpunk city, and it is exactly my cup of noodles 5 months ago:
I could see that being a game I play sporadically or once and never again. At least it’s price fairly.
For those interested AirCar is another chill cyberpunk game. You fly around the city in VR. It can be a bit nauseating if start doing rolls though. It’s also free.
- Comment on Starfield will get at least one more expansion after Shattered Space, Todd Howard says 5 months ago:
Howard referred to Shattered Space as being in the vein of Bethesda’s other “annual story expansions”, adding that the developers hope to release additional content for Starfield for “a very long time". That means we’ll see at least one more big expansion, with Howard saying that the team “more or less” plan to put out annual DLC in a similar way to their previous games.
“We’re planning for the one after [Shattered Space], so there will be another one,” Howard then confirmed.
I feel like these two comments hint at different things. I hope there is more than one DLC to come.
I haven’t played Starfield yet but I’ve heard the base game can be kind of dull at times. I was hoping we would see some kind of No Man’s Sky or Cyberpunk 2077 changes to the base elements of the game that might address this.
