I can't play anything that requires precision aiming with a controller.
A Steam Controller though? I'm way better. Especially with the gyro aiming or micro adjustments on the touchpads.
I know they are discontinued but as someone like you who had a rough time with those types of games without a mouse, I'd see if you can find a steam controller on ebay or something.
But I don't play FPSes at all any more really. And with games like cyberpunk, I'm always more stealth than action oriented so it hasn't been a problem. And when I have to use a normal controller and am forced to aim, I heavily rely on aim assist settings. I don't care 😂

the regular P9 is 128GB only
I've got the regular pixel 9 with 256. It's not limited to 128, it just is the base model size.

Personally I stopped custom roms a while back. I'm not hardcore in the anti-google camp though.
If you are, obviously custom roms will be all you should be looking at. Tons of good recommendations in this thread already.
If you're not in this camp though, the default pixel experience has been great for me and might be for you. I find it the least annoying of the oem experiences (not cluttered in features I'll never use, simplified settings menu where I've never had to use the search on since it all made sense etc).
I'd say use the stock rom for a few weeks. If you hate it, custom roms are always there for you.

If you have a file manager app installed you should get that as an option for most content (I use Amaze).

The Minisforum HX80G. That's the older model. They have the HX99G, HX100G and others now. They all range in price but Amazon has sales.
I picked mine up for $650.

I'm the same way but I bought one of those mini pcs that has a laptop cpu/gpu in it, installed ChimeraOS on it which essentially turned it into a steamdeck.
I have that hooked up to my living room tv and it's my main gaming device. It's essentially a console. I never upgrade anything. It runs what I play at 1080p with med or high settings.
Suits me just fine. I mainly just want to sit on my couch and game on the TV instead of being at a desk like I did years ago.

Ah OK. Every time someone asks how to find other communities, I see that Lemmy Explorer site linked, which is why I searched there and was confused why this community wasn't on there.
Nice to know it's showing up in other indexers though.
I checked that Lemmy Explorer site and searched for "patientgamers" and this community don't show up. Just the ones on lemmy.world and sh.itjustworks I was just wondering how you all found this place. Are you all on lemmy.ml? Does this community show up on any lemmy indexer?

Like others have mentioned, I am in the same boat of having multiple communities to follow with the same name but on different instances and I forget about others or (more likely) don't even know that others exist.
It does bug me that I can't group communities that exist on different instances together. It would be nice to be able to subscribe to a collection of communities that I can give a label to.
A way to group all patientgamers communities together would be a huge help.
It's just the way the whole federation stuff works I guess. And I like it...Except for when I don't 😂

That would be really awesome of you!
After I've picked two winners, we can have you pick two more and you can send them the codes directly as well.
We can make it the giveaway part 2.
When we get to announcing winners I'll message you!

Thanks!
It's more like thanks to everyone who has been posting and commenting in the last year and keeping the tone/mood of this place chill, inviting and friendly, which is all I wanted.
Subtex 5 months ago • 100%
Apparently I hadn't checked in a while, because Steam used to not have digital gifts, I swear! But Yay, I do see they offer gifting digital codes now.
Thanks for the info!

I just checked and I already had that in my wishlist! Definitely looks cool
Hey everyone, We're coming up on a year anniversary (I think) of this community and I thought I'd do some giveaways to celebrate that. It's semi-annoying that not all game stores have digital gift cards you can purchase so there are a few options here. 1. **Amazon digital gift card**: for those of you who buy physical games 2. **Physical Steam gift card**: the slowest option, as it requires me to leave my house and buy a stamp and mail something (the horror). 3. **Gifted game directly in Steam / GOG.com** For the gifted games / gift cards it'll be capped at $30 -- after all, we're talking about old games here right? If you want a few games that total up to $30, that's cool too. **I'm going to pick two members at random from those who reply here as the winners.** Just comment with what option you prefer, and ideally tell us about what game you'd like to get (I'd prefer to limit the low-effort comments if we can. I like the discussions people have here so please do try to comment more than just "#1" ). I'll sticky this post and will leave it open for 2 weeks (**end of April is the deadline**) Thanks for keeping this community a cool place with good discussions! ----- # UPDATE 4/30/24: This contest is officially over! The 2 randomly chosen winnders are: ## @Klanky@sopuli.xyz ## @Dymonika@beehaw.org Congrats! I will be messaging you both individually to get your email addresses or steam/gog usernames so I can gift you your games! Thanks again to everyone again for keeping this place going!

This has definitely been the case with me as well. Especially as I got older and had less time to play anything.
I've always been partial to story over mechanics though. I just think the preference has tilted much further in favor of story games now.

I use feedme on my phone and page turning works with swipes as well as physical buttons. Is an on-screen swipe not as good as on screen buttons for what you prefer?

Trying to figure out why this post is so down voted.
I looked up the game and it was released 3 yrs ago.
It's recent but it's not new so it's not really incorrectly posted here vs a normal games community, right?
Is there some other info about this I don't know about?
Trying not to moderate too much here. And I haven't needed to really. Everyone's been great with posting great stuff here overall.
Just was curious.

No worries.
I'll be removing this post now though.

Agreed. I've been trying not to be too micromanaging here but this seems like something I should just delete as it doesn't fit the community topic.
What do you guys think?
Subtex 8 months ago • 100%
This seems to be a bit more general gaming news and less a good fit for patient gamers.

If it's competition that's just an eReader that has a good store and hardware, Kobo is the main competitor.
They're good and have a nice range of products to match all of the types of readers a Kindle user would expect.

This looks like a nice update.
My nas is too old to run a current jellyfin server but I plan on setting one up temporarily on a macbook so I can test it out.
Been meaning to keep up with this as an alternative to plex (which has served me well for over a decade)

Wow that's an amazing run you've given that kindle! I used to have that one as well, years ago.
If you are sticking in the Amazon/Kindle world, then a new Kindle (whether you go with the base Kindle or the Paperwhite) you'll have a much faster experience for sure. The newer eink readers now can do several page turns without any real visual flash of the refresh. It's a small thing but very nice.
The Paperwhite has a backlight which is helpful for night reading. You'll also get dark mode in the new software (not sure if your keyboard kindle has stayed up to date with software updates or not). Also there's waterproofing.
The base kindle just loses the light and the waterproofing.
If you're not going to stick with Amazon, take a look at the Kobo readers. They're a great alternative to people not stuck in the Amazon world.

Supernote A6X right now.
That's the size I prefer for paper notebooks so I definitely gravitated to the 7" devices and don't really want to schlep around the larger devices like the RM and Scribe.
I love the write feel of the SN screen. Hard to describe but it's soft. Coupled with the Lamy stylus it's wonderful to write on.
Subtex 11 months ago • 100%
None that I know of.
Seems cellular capabilities are low on the list for eink device makers.
Even the Boox Palma doesn't have a sim card. Crazy
Subtex 11 months ago • 100%
I looked at the Remarkable and Scribe almost went that way but ended up with a Supernote A6X. The only outside app it has is Kindle, go figure.
I bought the device to replace my notebooks though. I have a dedicated Kindle Paperwhite for ebooks. But it is nice to know the kindle app is on my supernote in a pinch, so I can see why you'd be questioning the Scribe over your Remarkable.
I think the RM probably does the notebook thing better than the Scribe currently, but maybe that will change in the future.
Do you currently not have a dedicated ebook device for reading? Or do you just like the idea of a single device to do it all?
Personal I like the separation but I can definitely see why people want one less device to schlep around.
Personally I like my eink tablet being separate from my reading device. And I do like how Supernote has mad their device really tailored to people who write mainly vs trying to be an all around tablet device.
However, if Amazon offers an A6 Scribe in the future I may be tempted to pick one up...

Can't say I've felt much diffence in the legacy app I upgraded a few months ago either.
But honestly, the upgrade was more to ensure stability and being able to maintain the app over time vs expecting any gains.

Awesome. Didn't even know about that community. I'll take my woes over there.
Thanks!
I can fetch the comments for a post using the API using: `comment/list?post_id=` and that works fine but I have a question about how to determine what comment is a reply to another/ determining the comment nesting/threading. From what I can tell the only thing tying any two comments together is the `comment.path` prop. Is that correct? That prop seems to be in a format where each nested comment has the root parent `path` number followed by `.` then their unique number. And each subsequent comment is another number sequence after that and so on. Example: root comment: ```json { "comment": { "path": 12345 } } ``` child comment 1: ```json { "comment": { "path": 12345.327928 } } ``` Is this correct? Can someone who has used this API explain how this works? There are no doc comments in the docs for the http client so I'm just winging it here.

At least they explained the second slot size limit being from lack of space in the case.
I still think it's a great setup they're going with. Can't wait to see the reviews
It's only been 2 weeks since starting this community up but I do love how active it has been. Lemmy was very much a ghost town for me when I first signed up and couldn't find any communities to match the ones that filled my feed on reddit. Now I see a healthy amount of activity in this and other communities that have sprung up recently. Really cool to see people starting threads and offering the nuanced discussions on games here--which is really the stuff I was hoping would happen. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has posted and commented and contributed to making this community alive. Keep it up!
`r/thatsabooklight` was one of my favorite super niche subreddits I followed on reddit. So glad someone decided to start the same community here!
Hey everyone! Figured I'd start up this community as I look to replicate the subreddits I followed now that I'm here on Lemmy. My summer project is creating a Lemmy mobile app in RN and I hope to engage with other devs here during the process. Hopefully we can get a decent community here.
Sticking with my “old” theme, here’s one from Peter Jackson’s King Kong. I did love that T-Rex fight.
This is old but I do love matte paintings. Nice collection of some great ones here.
Always interesting to see the various ways of handling lighting in 2D games.
**Reproduction steps:** 1. Add a profile from some instance that has unread replies 2. Verify that the inbox icon shows the badge with the count of unread items. 3. Add a 2nd account to the app from a different instance. Be sure this account either has a different number of unread messages or has none at all **Expected Behavior:** The badge on the inbox tab should change to reflect the inbox unread number for each respective account **Actual Behavior:** The badge on the inbox tab shows the number for whatever account has unread messages. Changing to an account with zero unread messages will not clear out that badge when using that account.
With the news that the the new 16 series will offer gpu modules for upgrading, I really hope someone makes a non-laptop enclosure for the mainboard +gpu. I'd love it if instead of buying non-upgradable mini gaming pcs I could have one of these that offers more flexibility, upgrades, and would be supporting a company I think should be rewarded for their entire ethos. Guess we'll find out soon enough.
Not a recent movie but still a good video that covers the type of cg/composting I always find fascinating.
This is the post where I mention I created this group for any ex-reddit people who are searching the Lemmy communities looking for equivalents to subreddits they followed. I know this is a super niche group so who knows how dead this will be but even still! It's here for those who want to discuss and show their Unity 2D stuff.
Anything good? I'm hoping to get some time to play Return of the Obra Dinn if I could get any significant amount of time blocked off to game.
I saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it. Joined Lemmy here and noticed one of my favorite subreddits had no Lemmy equivalent — so I created it. I have no desire to be a mod, so if anyone wants to take on that role just let me know. I’m just hoping people do post here if they’re checking Lemmy out and seeing what’s available community-wise.
