- Comment on Thronefall's tiny tower defence townbuilding has reached version 1.0 4 weeks ago:
It’s really fun! I picked it up yesterday and I’ve been playing on ky deck.
I will say that I usually prefer tower defense games with more ‘linear’ pathing (think bloons) but it’s been a good time regardless.
- Comment on Old School Runescape is raising membership prices 2 months ago:
It’s even more popular than the ‘main’ version!
- Comment on Nvidia is ditching dedicated G-Sync modules to push back against FreeSync’s ubiquity 2 months ago:
I use freesync on my monitor between 48 and 144 hz.
The range depends on the specific monitor.
- Comment on What were your (now retro, but not at the time) gaming wow moments 2 months ago:
Loading into World of War craft for the first time back in 2005 is probably the biggest.
Seeing all the people running around and doing their thing was incredible. It made me super excited to go explore the world.
- Comment on SanDisk introduces the first 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards - Liliputing 2 months ago:
The target use case for large SD cards is high-resolution video recording.
Recording at 4k+ eats up space faaaaast. So you need both large-capacity as well as fast storage.
- Comment on FOSS Alternative to Chromecast? 3 months ago:
I’ve heard that the focus is on the ARM versions (so maybe they are much more developed) but I tried the x86_64 version on my HTPC recently and it was super barebones.
In the end I found Gnome with a few extensions to be a better solution for my needs
- Comment on Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardware 3 months ago:
KDE: traditional desktop environment with focus on lots of customization, options, and features. Often aimed more towards enthusiasts or everyday users who want the latest features.
GNOME: non-traditional desktop focusing on simplicity. Designed to be used a very specific way to maximize productivity. Often aimed more towards corporate or professional users.
Mint uses their own desktop environment (cinnamon) which is somewhere between the two.
All of these are nice in their own way, you just need to find which one you like best!
