I've been really enjoying playing minecraft on the steamdeck and I just realised you can record game play also so here is what I've been working on in c/minecraft

Damn. I'm impressed. How often do you get disoriented moving around and thinking things are smaller than they are?

Thinking about switching to Linux; main concern is son's games in c/[email protected]

[–] halloween_spookster 3 points 3 days ago

I have been running Linux full time on my gaming PC for a number of months now. I have found only a few instances where a game hasn't worked. I know that certain games won't work because of their invasive or Windows specific DRM, but for me personally I don't want to play those games anyway. Some examples of games I can play without issue: Horizon: Forbidden West, Brotato, Plate Up, GTFO, Dome Keeper, Noita, Enlisted, Power Wash Simulator, Risk of Rain 2 ...

I highly recommend this game! I played through it with a friend and really enjoyed it. I think I recommend it with more than one player

I legit thought that after dropping off my ballot yesterday. I checked online in the evening to see if they showed my ballot as received but it didn't show it yet. Thankfully I did get an update a few hours ago that they did receive it

What's something unique that you carry on you every day? in c/[email protected]

[–] halloween_spookster 4 points 1 week ago

Probably not super unique but a glass breaker/seatbelt cutter. If I'm in an accident or I come upon one, I want that ability with me.

You can already do this. If you click on the publisher or developer there is an ignore option

Does limiting things you actually enjoy help? in c/adhd

[–] halloween_spookster 1 points 2 weeks ago

For things like playing video games, I don't. I'm okay with switching between games several times in an evening. However, when I'm looking at something to buy I try to recognize when I'm hyper focusing on the thing vs having a long term need/desire for. On those things I try to delay purchasing for a while to let the hyper focusing subside.

So for me it's not really a case of limiting or restricting, but just delaying. I did this recently with a tool for my workshop. I waited long enough to let the hyper focusing subside but also long enough to stumble on an amazing deal on a really nice version.

Error when loading Ubuntu live USB (lemmy.world)

I've been trying to boot a Ubuntu 24.04 USB (please no discussion of distro choice) but I keep getting a very unhelpful error during the initial startup. I've tried using a different USB drive, a different USB port, booting from UEFI. The only thing that has made a change was booting into safe graphics mode. It got to the install wizard but when I got to the end of the wizard it gave me other seemingly useless error messages.

I'm concerned there's an issue with my motherboard but I don't have strong evidence to support this idea. I recently took a trip where the computer was fine before I left. I turned it off while I was away and when I came back my main drive no longer worked. I couldn't boot from it or even see the drive in gparted. I've replaced the drive without issue though. If my motherboard is somehow going bad, it's being very subtle about it. I was ready to blame Nvidia but when I got it into safe graphics mode, it didn't get to the point of having Nvidia drivers.

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on or any way I can get additional information about the errors I'm getting? The lack of information is really frustrating.
