    spends an hour configuring Proton to run a game smoothly, plays for 10 minutes

    [–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I feel personally attacked... I have done this with too many games on my deck, with Cyberpunk I spent 3 hours testing all kinds of different settings configurations (and then running the benchmark between every change...), trying to decide if I wanted to stick with native res and lower all the settings or upres with fsr and bump the effects up... then I got in game and realized I didnt have mods and didnt want to deal with them at that point and uninstalled the game.

    It comes from a place of personal experience.

    me when I feel like digital drawing:

    1. open Krita
    2. spend 2 hours getting a brush just right
    3. exhausted, only draw for 5 minutes before giving up and getting my physical sketchbook and a pencil
    [–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

    There's such a relief in using simple physical tools that have a very limited number of parameters and degrees of freedom to consider. Same with reading a book vs reading on a computer.

    I go on lemmy to laugh at memes, not to see pictures of myself. Did I open Instagram?

    i cannot confirm nor deny these allegations, but i can provide you with my dotfile repo

    If you used NixOS, you could move your whole OS there!

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Seriously thinking about nuking my years old Gentoo installation to try Nixos at this point.

    Could always just get another drive instead of tearing it down, storage is pretty cheap these days.

    The whole OS is configured by a single file (or subfiles you include from the main file) - every package and setting can be there. Meaning you just move the file to a new OS, run a single command, and you have the exactly same OS.

    I feel attacked and I don't even use Arch btw

    [–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    I have Elite: Dangerous. I literally built a 6D motion sensor headtracking rig with IR diodes and a modified PS EYE. 30 hours of config later I had the P E R F E C T config, so I moved on to new games.

    Balancing the insane ADS in Cyberpunk 2077 by manually editing core files while battling 150+ mods, now that's what I call enjoyable gaming!

    Stopped flirting, I'm married! But...u know...don't stop.

    i can optimize a system for negligible results all night until it runs smoooth and purrs like a kitten

    Wait, is that purring a destabilized fan? I'll have to get back to you.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Sounds like my buddy configuring like 300 Skyrim mods over the course of a week until the game is thoroughly unplayable without a crash for longer than 5-15 minutes, then he'll play it for a couple days and do something else.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I played New Vegas over 150+hours on my last run and -50 of those hours was just installing mods and testing them :D

    If I can customize my house in the game, why shouldn't I customize the game in my house?

    • Play Cyberpunk on max difficulty? No challenge.
    • Play Cyberpunk with ultra hardcore difficulty mods? Death isn't even routine.
    • Make Cyberpunk run well, while incorporating missing features? Now that's a challenge on my level, it truly feels like me versus the challenge the ~~developers~~ CDPR executives have laid before me.
    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    And I thought I was insane with 53 Valheim mods... give this guy a trophy.

    tfw OP just posts your average Gentoo user

    Is coon still a disparaging term or has things changed?

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    In this case I’m pretty sure it’s a play on “coomer,” given the masturbatory nature of the referenced mentality

    Edit: clarification + link added

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It is still a slur. creator should have put an extra oonin there.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    Yeah. At first I quickly hid my phone (I'm in public) because I thought this was going to be a really racist meme.

    I use Kubuntu in mostly default configuration. Am I special or a normie?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    A special normie.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I'm trying like hell to figure out what all of you are on about then I decide to actually read the topic

    !Linuxmemes

    Oh, that makes much more sense

    I may not spend hours customizing stuff anymore but anytime I open a new piece of software I instantly jump to settings. I can't help it.

    Where did you get that picture of me?

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    College-me is in this picture and I don't like it

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    I feel attacked.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    I object to this blatant misinformation about me.

    I am Thirty, not twenty-three, mister.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    The best part is configuring a wm to my liking then migrating to another .config flooded with conf files but I am using plasma without any changes ATM, lmao.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    Good times.
