  • It’s definitely more a habit of people who’ve used a smartphone more than traditional PCs.

    I’m older GenZ and my friend group is split pretty evenly between those of us who had laptops/desktops growing up and those who only semi-recently (like last 5 to 8 years) got their first actual PC for gaming.

    And you’re right Firefox does handle memory usage better in general, which is why some of my more “hardcore tab-hoarder” friends use it. But Chromium, not so much Google Chrome but mainly OperaGX/Brave seem to be the choice of my generation…






  • I’d wanna know what percentage of mouse haters are on laptops w/o an external mouse instead of desktop setups.

    I’ll die on the hill that mouse + Good Guis are gonna be easier and faster for most tasks.

    But laptop trackpads just still kinda suck, I’d probably go for as keyboard centric of a interface as possible if I was forced to use a laptop without an external mouse.

    Also just gonna call it. People like the “Hacker aesthetic” and that’s fine. I care more that people use their PC how they want to.






  • I play on my Linux desktop or SteamDeck, upscaled to my monitors native resolution, 60fps+ patches if available/needed at all.

    I mainly play PS2/3 era stuff with some earlier games now and then. I try to go out of my play what’s considered “the best” version of any given game and emulate that if possible. But ideally I’d go for the native PC port if it’s not terrible.

    For me I care more about playing good games rather than trying to capture nostalgia. Most older titles I play nowadays I don’t even have any nostalgia for since it’s my first time playing a lot them.

    Also I’ll play Remasters if they’re overall considered good and don’t take anything away from the original game, But I’ve been burned on bad remasters more times than not.




  • If you’re a fan of the 3D era Grand Theft Auto games but never played the Stories games, do yourself a favour.

    They’re also playable on PS2 but both versions have trade offs even if you’re emulating.

    The PSP versions are a lot smoother to emulate and can be modded to support the right analog stick and 60fps but the render distance is a lot worse.

    The PS2 versions doesn’t seem to emulate as well can keep a stable 30fps but the 60fps patch available on PCSX2 just makes my fps drop below 30 more times than not. even after overclocking the EE Cycle Rate. like suggested.

    PS2 version of LCS in particular also has some heavy handed colour filtering which some people say fits the “vibe” better. But I never liked it.





  • Okay two things.

    I didn’t set my pfp to clippy mainly because I’m lazy and don’t really comment on Youtube.

    People complaining people are only doing this to follow a trend are completely right. BUT! some of those trend chasers might actually stop and think about the message, and might realized we’re all being scammed by modern tech/software companies.

    I ain’t expecting some mass protest or anything, but it’s at the very least a small handful more people giving a shit about their relationship with technology. As apposed to most who just throw their information and money at any sign-up page that asks.


  • Honestly depends on the hardware. I still had an Nvidia card for the first year I used Linux and 90% of my issues stemmed from that…

    As for everything else I’ve had a much easier time with Linux than most people I know because I unintentionally bought peripherals that already worked great with Linux before I was even thinking about switching.

    A few people I know have tried Linux but ran into issues with their mice or audio equipment that require proprietary drivers or dedicated software to fully function. Most of these are the big name “gamer” brands like Razer.

    I had issues with Razers software all the way back on Windows 7 so I swore off buying anymore keyboards or mice that require 3rd party drivers so I never had an issue with them when switching over.
