I use Arch with XFCE. Yes, it took a while to get running properly, and just the other day I went to print something and realized cups hadn’t even been installed yet, so I spent 15 minutes getting my printer up and running, so I totally get that it’s not for everyone. I like it because of the detailed wiki with great tutorials and instructions on getting things working, like the one I used to get a nextcloud installation working on my computer. And I like it because of the extensive Arch User Repository, so I know I can install whatever I like. I mostly just play Stardew Valley and trackmania on it. I’ve used Manjaro before and enjoyed that too, and it comes with all the benefits of arch.

I installed Mint on my friends computer, which works totally fine, but I don’t know how it is for gaming; she definitely doesn’t game.

It’s not an instance, but what about https://join-lemmy.org/ ?

If you find yourself in a fight that you keep dying to, you may try exploring other areas to make progression elsewhere before coming back and trying again.

I sure hope people aren’t deleting all their old useful guides and troubleshooting posts. Yesterday I was playing Stardew Valley, I had a simple question, so I duckduckgo-ed it and found some promising links on r/StardewValley, but StardewValley was private. Very frustrating. I hope this isn’t the norm. So, so far…that. I miss StardewValley. Besides that, I will miss r/bestofredditorupdates

Lol, I’ve put 120 hrs into TotK and I love it, and still haven’t finished all the side quests or shrines. I can’t get my wife to play past the tutorial, she’s disappointed that it doesn’t foster creativity like Garry’s mod

This terrifies me…

No, it’s pronounced in two syllables, as so: “Ni-key”, with the first syllable pronouncing the I as in the word “I”. It’s named after the Greek goddess of victory.

I just finished redoing an old Excel spreadsheet at work so that things update automatically. It’s a good feeling. Years ago I made a spreadsheet for my independent contracting work that I just had to input the date and it generated a summary of my work to give to my boss, I was pretty proud of myself. I also used it to understand which days I made the most money on so that I could make better decisions about when to work. I wish I could have a whole job just making spreadsheets…

I played vanilla Stardew Valley once, and now I’m on my second go around, and I’ve installed a bunch of qol mods so that I don’t have to keep checking the wiki and my collections to see if I should keep or sell this item I got because I don’t know if I need it for an achievement, and now I have a notification that it’s an NPC’s birthday and I can just check to see if I own or am carrying an item they have. It just makes the game less stressful for a completionist like me.

I actually pay the $2/month for squaredle.app for the extra features. I play this game while in boring meetings so that my mind doesn’t wander and I can keep my concentration on what people are saying.

That’s what I have too, and I also use it for torrenting. I put a dlna server on it, and works really well with my roku tv

I’ve been playing TotK since day 1 for over 100 hours and still haven’t run out of content. Breath of the Wild was my favorite game of all time, and Tears of the Kingdom easily beats it. I wonder if it plays well on Yuzu yet?

Daisy! She’s the beeest!

I think I’m a socialist, though I’m open to change my mind; however, due to the political climate in the US, I kinda feel stuck just voting for anyone who is even vaguely for LGBT rights, as I feel like trans people are in serious danger right now

I’ve been playing TotK like it’s my second job since day 1, and I still don’t feel close to maxing out on its content. Breath of the Wild was my favorite game of all time, and somehow Tears of the Kingdom is even better.

Yeah, cults tend to funnel money to the leadership, so Mr Crabs would probably join, realize they want his money, refuse to give it to them, see through the scheme, then start his own competing cult.
