And I want to move Windows fully to my past

I feel obligated to recommend a Steam Deck if you have interest in one and can afford it.

We have 2 and I would get a 3rd if I could lol (with a bulky protective case etc. so I can be less careful)

The most cost efficient way to go is buy the cheapest version and then put something like this in it https://www.westerndigital.com/en-il/products/internal-drives/pc-sn740-ssd#SDDPTQD-256G

IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU GET A 2230 SIZED NVME DRIVE. 2280 drives will NOT fit.

If you don't want to do that you can alternatively just get a big micro SD card and save the SSD swap for later For best speeds you want it to say A2 and a 3 inside a U.

Even besides playing video games it's an awesome little mini pc. Not perfect but awesome, and an amazing value at $359.

All I'm saying is I think it's cool 'lgbt' can be used in this way

Sorry if I was unclear

Wow great job! Wouldn't have known it was homemade

That's a good question but no, it will work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSWb6jFlDk4

Probably because they're losing money on the cheapest one

No that is not true. Also even if you drop it they have a repair center you can ship to that charges fair prices. They have a very positive reputation about this kind of thing (also RMAs, which I went through personally)

That really sucks, I'm sorry.

Do you know around how much it would cost to ship from the US?

Recently switched back to firefox + duckduckgo. I do not regret it.

That's what I do so that's where my head is at, but I actually decided to make it ANY form of content creation for the time being.

Any thoughts as to what instance would be best for this? I chose lemmy.world due to its size, but am open to any and all feedback.

I'll try to start populating it tomorrow

I'm an early steam decker (and got one for my gf) so I know about how great proton is.

I agree sf6 is really well optimized (it also runs great on deck). I hope Tekken 8 is the same, as that looks to be a big visual jump from sf6.

What controller do you play sf6 on?

Hi, quick question: Would you consider adding a community for content creators/streamers? Having a small positive community like this is ideal for small creators.

If no, could you recommend where I should try to foster such a community?

Thank you for your time

Good to hear, thanks.

Does anyone have before/after images? I never got into skullgirls

There's this sweet rarely known game where you punch trees and build stuff but you've probably never heard of it

Damn that's a good idea. Sort by highest karma and make them word soup that makes readers question their sanity. I just went with '.'

Is the bot situation better now?

Wow funny you say that, I already decided the same and created it

We have lemmy.world, and I made a backup on lemm.ee, but I like DB0, glad to see you agree.

I'm a big fighting game enjoyer , do you know where that kind of discussion happens here? I have some in other instances but would rather contribute to an existing community here if one exists

Do you know how much it would cost to cost to ship from the US?

Luckily I already had some of that stuff from my switch. I do hope v2 steamdeck has a USB-A port (And I wouldn't mind a second USB-C on the bottom)

I got Diablo 4 with a gfx card bundle and haven't opened it yet. I need to get on that. Do you know how good the co-op is?

Also logged into my pure for a screenshot (Combat lvl 73.4). Was planning on getting strength up before I stopped playing. I love the wilderness in osrs, nothing else like it.

It is twofold. one: support in general, and creating a schedule where people watch each other together and greatly boost the likelihood that that stream will be suggested to someone else. Engagement in the chat also greatly boosts the likelihood that new viewers will comment/stay longer.

The other thing is full time streamers live a very specific kind of life that is generally very different from most people. I feel there is value in congregating with other people with the same goals and mindset.

By having a community with schedules/party trains streamers learn about each other and form friendships, and in theory everyone wins. I'm ok with streaming to 0 people and then people watching it later but it's a lot more fun when you have all your friends in the chat with you.

Additionally, certain games (like among us just as an example) are way more fun when you're playing in a voice call with people you know as opposed to random people. Having this sort of community makes a lot of games fun that otherwise wouldn't be. High skill multiplayer games might take months of learning to get good at, but if everyone is new this isn't a problem.

I will think more about what could be done to mitigate the potential issues you mention, but from what I've seen the best way is just to remain small and have a strong focus on community building. Beehaw seems to already have a very compatible culture, although I must admit I am new here.

My question then is what is a good neutral 3rd instance?

Have you been able to set up a windows VM for the purpose of gaming, or do you just play proton compatible games?

Bad bitches is the only thing that I like 🤷

Awesome! I asked alyaza if they would consider adding a content creation community. I'm not sure where else it could fit besides maybe gaming

It doesn't have to be a spammy place if we don't let it. That's what happens with low quality engagement and moderation. We could create an actual community instead of just people promoting themselves.

If beehaw doesn't want to be that place that's ok, it seems like a good idea to me though.

Here is my comment for visibiltiy
