I run everything at 720 so I can go seamlessly from docked to handheld, and quite frankly, this little magic Gaben rectangle has no business performing as well as it does.

If you’re trying to run games at 4k, then yeah, it’s not gonna be as good. Temper your expectations

I’ve read some stuff about Jsaux being huge douchebags, so, you may need to make an ethical choice, but I’ve been very satisfied with this bag

I guess update for anyone who cares: I am not using Arch btw, not for this little machine. Goal of having a second workspace using KDE is running out of steam, but goal of learning about Linux is proceeding as (in hindsight) expected.

Netbook is an old Asus eeePC with only a gig of ram, so Endeavour straight up told me no, Tumbleweed stalled out for 6 hours, Leap probably won’t do any better, but I’m downloading it anyway because I’m now reaching that phase of collecting distros just to see what works.

Which is all to say: greetings fellow Linux users, I feel like I have finally arrived.

Saw a bit on the Discord server, guy tested the backplate and found that it had little appreciable thermal gain, but the vent hole over the fan made it much much louder. “Unusable without a headset,” were his exact words, “cannot recommend unless you exclusively play AAA games with headphones on”

Monster Hunter Rise, Dark Souls 3, and Fallout New Vegas all have really impressive battery life, considering they aren’t 2D retro titles.

Good ol’ invisibility

Any chance of adding Kbin logins?

I’ve found, at least in myself and friends, burnout comes from playing one game or one type of game, and getting bored with that specifically. You need to find something new, but I can’t really give any suggestions since that’s entirely subjective.

I fell off gaming for a while because my job got crazy. The Switch and specifically Breath of the Wild pulled me back in. Then I honed in on Monster Hunter World in particular for a long time and kinda burnt out because a different job got very demanding of my time, and it wasn’t even a change of game, but just getting a better internet connection so I could actually participate in multiplayer that pulled me out of the rut.

Keep it varied and it’ll stay interesting. A buddy of mine just tried to swear off all veeja because he declared himself an addict. He’s not an addict, he just burned out after playing nothing but Elden Ring for a solid year. He took a break for about a month and now he’s right back on ER with renewed passion.
