overview for Water_Melon

Gotta be hyperaware of everything everyone does and carefully mirror them so they don't find out I'm neurodiverse and start expressing sympathy or some shit in c/adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I get the feeling that people can sort of "feel" that something is different (Monkey instinct?) despite us acting totally normal.

Is this where dreams are streamed from? 🤔

Compulsion to help others in c/adhd@lemmy.world

I feel the same, it genuinely hurts when I think I let other down (despite they might not feel so).

Compassion is good, but we should probably reserve it for people who are close to us.

For those people who you probably will never meet a second time, close your heart to it.

Nine Sols!

Who would've guessed a hand drawn 2D side scroller runs amazingly at 90Hz. That sound of parrying attacks coming out of deck's speaker is just so satisfying.

So I'm not allowed to see how much data usage certain apps use?!? in c/android@lemmy.world

I think it just mean you blocked/restricted these app's internet access.

type the distro you use and is and let your keyboard finish it in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Elden Ring & Resident Evil 6!

Elden Ring: Man this game is so long but fun. I just can't help myself playing this game everywhere. Somehow getting my ass kicked, and winning a fight or two time to time, kills time so efficiency.

RE6: Despite it's bad rep, it's a really good game for couch coop on a TV. The performance was great, and just really enjoyable when laughing at bugs & absurd writing with friends.

720p upscaled to 1080 looks really good, and is a nice balance for performance.

Some TV don't play nice with the fps caps, try uncapping the framerate if you don't mind some fps fluctuations.

Rock&Stone btw.

Sure would be, hope they don't lower the resolution as aggressive as FSR2.

Steam deck for a TV party game emulation machine? in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

[–] Water_Melon_boy@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago

I can only speak for Wii emulation, it works great.

OLED deck have excellent Bluetooth compatibility with WiiMotes, I can hook up 4 of them using emulated bluetooth mode. (Can't get passthru mode working tho)

Some configuration beforehand such as changing all four controller slots into "real WiiMote" & enable continues scanning is all you need to do.

Just a side note. Switching between handheld and docked mode is a dull process. In order to switch input source you have to go to desktop mode every time.

The Elden Ring one actually isn't so rare. It feels more like a 10%. Every time I boot up the game I half expect it to crash.

I've been playing DRG on a steam deck，and I noticed that there are much more stutter, even at max wattage.

~~And CPU usage now are no longer evenly split across threads(Only maxing 1 thread per core).~~ (This one is fixed in a quick update)

Anyone encountering similar lag issues on season 5?

Edit: This is likely shader compilation stutter, since it was the beginning of the season and not much cache is shared & built.

Really cool! Love to see some modding. And wow, that full kit of IFixIt.

Hi privacy community. I genuinely want to hear from both people who are very private and those who didn't go to such an extent.

I started my journy since high school and replaced a lot of stuff since then.

Ditched most of Google's app . Only 2~3 apps on my phone require google play store(Banking/School's app/ Train ticket).

Switched to Protonmail + Email alias, and manage my passwords with Bitwarden.

Got off social media and made sure I removed all data that can be found about me in quick Google searches.

Switched to Linux for desktop.

But

I can't get rid of gmail because I still need those apps, and some professors heavily relies on google services.

Windows ain't getting off my laptop because I need to make sure document format and software compatibility don't become reasons I fail a class.

I feel like the obstacle I hit isn't just convenience anymore, it's my life and the situations I'm in.

I wish to hear what kind of dicisions / realizations / mindsets you guys had in your journy.

Thanks in advance.

DRG on Steam Deck OLED performs well, but I want to see how low I can push the TDP while maintaining playability. And I want to share it so others don't have to go thru the hassle.

Assuming battery usage from 90% to 10%，so only 80%(40Wh) is used in playtime estimation.

All presets are tuned with Haz 5 difficulty. Different cave generation/ swarm sizes will cause dips and power hungry moments from time to time.

Modded difficulty are not tested.

(Cyro utility 2.0 used)

In game Settings:

Texture Quality:High , the rest all low.

Using DX12.

fov 103⁰.

Mods used:

-Remove decals

-No ragdolls

-Cyro cannon partical fix

-No flares.

Presets:

7w / 45fps (to be sync with 90Hz) / FSR 2 Ultra Quality / Gpu Auto/ ~4.5 HR / TotalDeckPow=11w

(This one is surprisingly stable, it even have headroom up to 50fps)

9w / 60fps / FSR 1 performance / Gpu Auto / ~3.5 HR / TotalDeckPow=14w

(Really like this one, used most when not desperate for battery.)

11w / 60fps / FSR 1 Ultra Quality / Gpu Auto / 2.5~3 HR / TotalDeckPow=16~17w

(Nice upgrade over the last one, couch gaming recommended!)

2024/4/29 Update, Aiming for nicer stability and no longer pins GPU (Valve fixed the apu's power allocation)
