No I'm definitely thinking console gamers. When buying new, most console gamers just download. I imagine Sony is basing this decision on purchase numbers of new games physical vs digital, and not paying any mind at all to the secondhand market. Customers of the secondhand market are not their customers in this perspective.

Again, not saying I agree with this, but they can certainly use new game purchase numbers as a justification here, even if it cuts out a portion of gamers, because that portion doesn't account for most of their game revenue.

That's a nice combo. I do wish they had some more vibrant main colors. Green stood out the most to me but I would have bought a bright blue or something if they had it.

I'm not sure what you mean by layers. Like symbols? And I have, and it's okay, but I never got good enough at it for it to feel natural. I mostly tap type with 2 thumbs, or 1 if it's quick and I'm lazy.

Yeah, but I bought the phone knowing the layout. I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't right for me, so not being able to customize it later isn't a problem.

[-] Alk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

Me too. Which colors are you getting? I was torn between the default white/maroon and green/brown. I settled on green/brown eventually.

Exactly what I want haha. Completely utilitarian communication device that can do media in a pinch.

(On a side note my calculator in high school spent more time playing homebrew games than it spent doing math)

Might not work for some people, but I've never once changed my keyboard layout after customizing it the first time like a decade ago. I only speak one language though.

They aren't wrong though. Gamers at large just prefer downloading games. The vocal minority likes physical games, including me. But the average person who wants to play the latest popular title doesn't put that much thought into it. "Why buy a game when I have to download patches and content anyway? I don't want all those boxes I'll never use cluttering up my living room."

I think there is merit in producing physical games even without mass demand, and I'm upset this is happening. But they're not wrong in their claims.

Kind of looks like shadow the hedgehog's shoes.

I see this on a daily basis. Switch to another VPN node and you're good. Sometimes it takes a couple times.

It seems the embedded video may not work. You will have to click the link. It’s just blahaj.zone’s peertube instance.

Here are details: https://github.com/kapowaz/doorbell-tool

I made the gif custom for the doorbell, converted from another higher quality and larger gif.

It is a Ford e-transit. Huge white empty sides. I enjoy the plainness of it, but am open to putting something interesting on the sides/back.

I will implement my favorite idea without fail.

It's for transporting my disabled mother around, but also for personal use. (I am too tall for normal cars so this will be my only vehicle)

Edit: There are so many good suggestions. My current favorites are some sort of grand fantasy mural or the mystery machine (possibly with mystery replaced with my last name that also starts with an m and has the same amount of letters), or that 90's jazz pattern.

Also, it's possible to be priveliged and also understand and sympathize with the problems of other people.

I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn't want chocolate).

Not a single child came. I didn't see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.

The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.

Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.

How was everyone else's Halloween?

Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED "trick or treat" sign we hung on the porch.

Edit: Tumbleweed and bazzite are currently the most attractive options based on what I've learned from the comments. I will trial run those and 1 or 2 others.

I am currently on Pop OS.

I am dissatisfied with the DE/UI and I've been playing with others but half the point of this distro is it's custom UI. So I figured I would try another. I have several criteria that may narrow it down.

  1. I am going to use KDE or KDE Plasma (preferred). This is the only non-negotiable criteria.

  2. I will be gaming. This means I would like relatively up to date kernel and software. Rolling or semi-rolling releases are preferred.

2.5. I also work from this pc. This mainly entails using discord and Firefox though so no special requirements. I do have 4 different sized monitors with 3 different refresh rates that I use for work. Only one for gaming. One is vertical. I can tell I'm pushing x to its limits with that setup.

  1. I would prefer Debian-based as that is what I'm used to and because .deb packages are so common.

  2. I don't want it to be a ton of effort to set up. Pop OS worked out of the box with my Nvidia GPU and all other hardware. I am willing to put in some effort though.

  3. I have been using and very much like apt and flatpak. This is not a requirement, just an observation.

  4. Wayland is neat

  5. Active community with lots of support to search through. Pop OS has been good for this as it's Ubuntu based and has its own great community.

Ultimately I want an easy to use desktop OS that uses some sort of KDE, supports up to date packages and drivers, supports most games and isn't a pain to maintain.

Here are some contenders that fit at least some of my requirements.

KDE Neon user edition

Opensuse tumbleweed

Kubuntu

Endeavor OS

Debian

Manjaro

Bazzite

Mint Debian edition

Right now I'm leaning toward KDE Neon, Kubuntu, or Debian (whatever the rolling release version is), but the others all have their draws. I've heard the aur is great but I have come across several applications only available in website downloads of Deb packages so I'm hesitant.

I have been using pop as my first desktop distro after Windows and I've enjoyed it a lot. I barely run into anything I can't solve with some effort and headache and not a single game I can't play. I'd like to keep it that way.

Now that that's out of the way, does anyone have suggestions? Am I looking in the wrong direction? Am I asking the wrong questions? Should I just install arch, live in the terminal, and throw away my mouse? /s

Thank you all for your advice in advance.

I am bad at the game, and I often fly my ships too fast towards a space station and can't stop in time. I've never heard that warning and NOT blown up seconds afterwards.
