Mini Monitor Recommendations
  • If you have an iPad, you can use the app Duet. I used it for college back when I only had a laptop and and iPad and it worked surprisingly well.

    There's some lag and you'll need to install some software on the PC as well, but it's pretty lightweight if I remember correctly

  • Meta Debuts $500 Quest 3 as Apple Prepares to Launch $3,500 Vision Pro Headset Next Year
  • I think that in an already niche market, it is hard for the average consumer to even further differentiate them into their own niches.

    Plus, they're in the same market. I can't see someone owning both because they have completely different use cases. If you buy one of them you basically already can do most of what the other one can.

    It's kinda like comparing a Honda Civic to a Ferrari. Yeah they are different, but they are still cars and have a lot in common.

  • Nintendo Switch Successor Rumored To Have Been Shown To Press/Devs At Gamescom
  • I don't think Nintendo has really cared much about graphics since the gamecube era. They realized that people buy their consoles for the games not the graphics

    I doubt they would make the console significantly more expensive by adding a GPU that most people wouldn't really care much about

  • Nintendo Switch Successor Rumored To Have Been Shown To Press/Devs At Gamescom
  • I mean Nintendo has been pretty good with backwards compatibility so I'm hopeful they will do that again. That will be the only thing that could push me towards buying a new nintendo console atm. I would sell my switch lite to add to my new switch fund lol

    If not, I will just stick to my Steam Deck and PC

  • I Simply Do Not Have Room On My PC For Starfield
  • Same. Those comments are coming from a place of privilege.

    A lot of people in a first world country can't afford splurges like that anymore. In third world countries it's even worse. Because of import fees, scarcity, and price gauging, a $60 SSD can easily become $100+. In some countries that's over half of the average monthly income

  • Looking for resources to rebuild my music collection
  • Noob question

    Whenever I search for 1337x or any other site someone recommends, how do I know which one is reliable? Because if I search in Google, DuckDuckGo, or any other search engine, I get results with domains ending in .is .to. .tw .skin .net etc.

    Are they all just different proxies to the same thing or is there a list of reliable links?

  • What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?
  • I get what you're saying but there are ways to implement it in the gameplay with prompts, descriptions and dialogue.

    I love a lot of the games I'm criticizing, but sometimes they go too far. I'll pick up the fart machine 3000 and the description will just say "Butt Fart Pfffft Toot Toot" and I'm just kinda left like wtf and i have to close the game and go into the wiki to see what the hell i just picked up and if its worth the inventory space

  • What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?
  • I don't have an exact answer, but there are a lot of games that you need the wiki up on your second monitor for. Their tutorials teach you the basic controls, but nothing about what you're supposed to do or anything like that.

    I feel it's kinda lazy on the developer's side and leave it to the community to do their job. You see a 5-10 min video on youtube explaining everything, yet the developer couldn't do that?

  • Doing things in games because it simple felt good.
  • In CSGO I constantly switching guns andbinspecting my weapons. The animations and sounds are really satisfying to me

    In Minecraft flying around in the Elytra feels really nice. I wish there was some sort of time trials minigame for the Elytras

  • I need a better body for my job
  • Yes please!

    Also warming up your body with a short 5-10 minute walk might help as well. I do this before working out to loosen up my muscles and it really does help.

    Personally, stretching, small amount of cardio, and hydration on three long life habits I never want lose

  • Just want a solid gaming laptop
  • It might also be worth looking at Steam Deck alternatives. GPD, AYA, ASUS, etc.

    I only own a Steam Deck, but I've seen a couple videos on alternatives and they look pretty good. Since you were already planning on spending laptop money, an upgrade might be worth it so your mom can have that extra power. They might not be as user friendly as the Steam Deck though

    i also recommend doing a factory install of your OS with a USB drive

  • Fashion Community Request

    I joined Lemmy after the Reddit API protests, and I miss the fashion subreddits the most. I never really posted my outfits, but I really liked making inspo galleries to share with the community. I also really liked talking about fashion in general. I think a fashion community would be a nice addition to Beehaw.

    I have a rough outline and condensed of what I hope the community would be like. One thing I liked about the fashion subreddits is how curated some were. I like that most of the content you saw when you opened it up, was generally pretty high quality. No low effort memes or questions. I hope this request is taken into consideration.

    C/FASHION

    Permitted Post

    - Look Books - Inspo (collections/galleries) - Fashion General Discussion (trends, colors, silhouettes, pieces, brands, etc) - Open ended questions that start a discussion I think should be okay - Articles/News - Guides/DIY - Data/Infographics - Fit Pics (Weekends Only)

    Weekly Threads

    - Sales (Pinned all week) - Questions/Advice (Pinned all week)

    Not sure if the communities should be gender specific like on Reddit. Also, some fashion subreddits usually need approval before posting, not sure if that should be done here as well.

    I read the FAQ for beehaw, but I see other people requesting communities here as well so I might as well bring it up now and later when it's more appropriate. I'm sorry if this is not allowed. I will also be willing to help however I can with the community.
