As someone who doesnt mind 30fps, there shouldnt be games running at 30 on new gen hardware anymore lol

You will get downvoted in any disagreement, that's not exclusive to reddit or Lemmy, that happens in any social media with downvotes.
The purpose of downvotes is to show what the general people in that common section think about your comment. You shouldn't give any hoot about it other than the info it provides.
Obviously, if you are talking in controversal topics or ones with conflicting sides, you are gonna see alot of downvotes. Its just people expressing their opinion.
Echo chambers are just a natural part of communities. People often come to feel validated so they stick to ones with the same thoughts as them. I don't recommend trying to argue/discuss with people who only want to "win" cuz there's nothing to gain.
Talk with those who argue because they want to learn or understand something better. (or perhaps help you learn something new)
I almost never watch stuff outside of YouTube and the like. If I really did wanted to watch something, its likely an older show that I can just torrent.
Its definitely a mindset thing. In any game with any sort of competition, the majority of people seem to have this thought that "I must win". And if they dont, then they are having a bad time.
I notice this alot in smash specifically when I play with new players, they put all this emotion into matches with nothing on the line. Then beat themselves over every loss.
I even get questions like "Why you did this dumb thing?" which sometimes leads them to thinking im trolling. Like bro, im playing for fun.
Or if im not sweating 24/7, "Are you sandbagging?" Dude, we are playing friendlies, this is not a tourney that decides my future career, its not that serious.
Its like people forgot what casual gaming was.
When I can't buy it in a reasonable way lol
Simply wanting to save money is a valid enough reason to pirate. The only time you should have any second thoughts is if its a product you REALLY want to see more of or if its made by a smaller group that could really use that money.
Even then though, you can always help without spending money. Easiest way is to spread the word.
You enjoyed that game?
Tell others its a good game worth getting. In many cases, that might help more than buying the game and saying nothing about it.
If it ever did happen, I definitely don't remember lol
Its rare for me to even relate to people.
Man I can only dream of a new pixel having a headphone jack. And ain't no way I'm getting off grepheneos.
Once a day, I feel like trash if I even skip one day.
Tho honestly I often wonder if twice a day is optimal. I always feel great the few times I take it twice, but when I only take it once, I always wake up wanting to shower immediately to get the oil off.
That was my favorite app, I need to get that asap.
Same, I tried lutris but it just wasn't working consistently. Bottles is both easier and consistent for me.
Lutris still got them scripts tho for specific needs.
General rule of thumb is to update luma before performing a system update. If the luma version is old, then it wont support the latest 3ds update and wont boot to the home menu.
This doesnt mean its bricked, but that you are now forced to take out your sd card and update luma to boot to the home menu properly.
So just update luma, then do a system update and you are good. Worst case is that it fails to boot, you update luma on your sd card, and then boot just fine anyways.
I had a similar issue and honestly I would just recommend worrying about it later. Don't force it, just try it when you have some free time.
I started off with dual boot to play with Linux and jump to windows when I need it. Then eventually to full Linux once I realized I never actually needed it to do all my work.
I recommend Linux mint as its the most similar to windows and is built for new Linux users. I tried Ubuntu first and the experience was pretty bad, but I learned much quicker in mint and had a much better experience right away.
Damn that new version already looks alot better.
Halo 2 music tho 😳
ODST is great too.
People like games like those cuz of how rewarding it feels when you overcome it. With that said, its not for most people.
I think the bigger problem is how commital those games are. They all want you to play 24/7 which makes it hard to enjoy other games.
I love competitive games, but I have too many other games I want to play. Im not gonna grind on one when I could of played like 30 games off my list.
Left 4 dead is probably the best example of that.
Yeah steam does it very well. On stuff like the switch, the prices are so crazy I immediately go hack my console. But in steam, prices were so much lower to the point in which I never thought about it.
I only recently started doing it when I noticed some games block you from playing offline.
Yeah, the limited content can and will be a dealbreaker for some. I personally had more fun here already than I ever did in reddit. (Over a year since I even logged into reddit)
But I understand that im in the minority. I never enjoyed large subreddits much, and the stuff im interested in just happen to exist here too. For me, its a fresh experience with the majority of stuff I didnt like from reddit gone.
For others, its a hollow version of reddit with not enough content to make it worth it. Thats how it is tho when you switch from any big app, the small ones got to start somewhere.
Which is why I am finally commenting again, because interaction is the only way to build up to something greater.
You can honestly probably just ingore it, but I would still update luma and update to the latest 3ds update cuz:
you can still install game updates iirc on the latest version
you will be missing new features that luma offers now (I also notice better performance in general like quicker boot times)
latest homebrew assumes you are up to date so it may cause some rare problems.
Updating luma is also literally just dragging the boot file into the root of your sd card and clicking "replace" so its very little work. And then of course, you then update in the system settings.
Btw for cias, check out erista. QR codes if you are lazy or direct downloads for huge installs. (like if you have a 64/128 gb sd card)
A boring answer, but a new pixel with a headphone jack lmao
But I would love one of those tablet laptops that can also run Linux. Iirc, they just run android for now.
Pretty much any trait that awful people usually have. I feel these kind of people are pretty easy to spot usually.
Lacking basic manners, can't be bother to do small things that can help others, greedy to a point that hurts other and is OK with that, only looks at people as tools/resources, only argues to win instead of to teach/learn, and the list goes on forever.
It becomes a lot harder to despise people if they don't have any of the usual awful person traits.
I do hate it when people ask to ask though, that always annoys me to no end. Just tell me what you need help with lol
I just use reddit for basic news on specific products I'm looking forward to, and the occasional time I need to search a specific question on it.
After trying out Lemmy, I used a script to delete mass edit/delete all my stuff in reddit, deleted the account, and never went back. I find no enjoyment in commenting on reddit anymore so it was an easy decision.
I agree Lemmy has a long way to go, but I only see it getting better from here which is enough for me to stick with it.
Now that you mention it though, communities do kinda feel empty. Not as in a lack of users/content, but that theres nothing in them that try to promote discussion like "weekly discussions" you would see on reddit. Its more or less entirely some random post by someone, or a news post.
As someone who only cares about news and the discussion around that news, Lemmy satisfies me pretty well. But for people who want a more social experience (probably most people), Lemmy begins to fall apart quickly.
Right now, I think the memes community is really the only active social one.
