That’s a helluva expensive shot. I mean, you should definitely get it, but nobody should have to pay that much for it. I guess that’s USA…

That would be Farscape + Nox Archaist. Very difficult to imagine what the crossover would be like 😅

Leaving Twitter was easy.

Just log out once and since you can’t even read embedded tweets without being logged in, you are practically isolated from the whole platform. If you last a few days, you realize that you’re not really missing anything…

Maybe so, although I don’t really have a interest in that. I really wish I was able to maintain my skills in both “fields”. I’ve found out that nowadays it is important to have people who can interpret layman problems and wishes to techies and explain technological “jargon” to “normal” people. Being a middleman like this seems to have it’s benefits.

A humanist here, working in the cultural heritage (which is also increasingly digital) field.

I reckon I have more computer skills than an average user but in no way I am a “techie”. It’s just that I know how to search for tech solutions and am not afraid of breaking the computer. Due to using Unity I also have some experience with C# and currently I am trying to learn python (mostly just for fun but you’ll never know if it ends up being helpful at some point).

So definetily not a tech person, but interested in both the humanist and technological side if life.

Never really used it that much and I’ve been much more active in Lemmy than ever in Reddit.

However, if I have problem that need a quick answer, I usually search Reddit. This in not because it is somehow amazing, but because Google searches suck nowadays. Typing Reddit into the search query usually brings out the answer I need instantly.

I’m sure it also has something to do with that when you get older, you’ve had those experiences many more times than as a child. They just don’t feel that specia anymore.l

Great! I’ll need to get one before they run out of stock then.

So Intel Nuc’s are not probably ideal for that job? 1080p is good enough for me for now :)

Damn, we are using them at my work and they have been very good as remotely updateable media kiosks. I just started to learn how to use them. Ofcourse well keep using them for some time still, but at some point we’ll need to find another solution.

I was also thinking getting one to work as a streaming computer. Currently I use one computer setup, which causes performance issues with some games. Would a nuc work as a computer to encode the video live or would it make more sense to use a machine with s proper GPU? Any thoughts?

There’s a little game called Dorfromantik in which you build a map with tiles. The PC version is my go to game when I need to multitask (made long Teams meetings during covid bearable). It’s very simple, yet I have like 150h put into it. Not even that expensive to buy.

There’s also a board game version which apparently ok too.

Wait until he realizes where the ventriloquist’s hand is…

These kinda belong to a museum or some other instance that has the resources to catalogue and preserve them. Any idea if an instance like that exists in USA? Library of Congress comes to mind but I don’t think they are responsible for preserving such materials.

Could be. Like I said, I only remember reading about this as I have no interest in owning a Steamdeck myself. Just tried to be helpful and bring that up.

I remember reading that it has problems with some AAA games released this. Cannot remember which ones though, but there’s probably some articles about this. And come to think of it, the complaints were probably about some games not running smooth 60fps all the time, which is not a problem for most people.

I personally am not that interested in Steamdeck, but if I was, I’d probably wait. Considering the age and the fact that newer games are already not that smooth on it, there is a likehood that a new version is on it’s way. May not come out next year but the current gen definetily won’t have the same lifespan as Nintendo Switch for example.

I had no idea GameStop still existed 😅

This pretty much sums it all up. Gabe seems like a nice guy, but definetly not an anarchist.
