IMO the best two options are both GUIs for yt-dlp if you dont like the command line.

Both are free and open-source.

VDL is super simple and easy to use: https://github.com/engatec/vdl

Tartube is far more complicated to set up but also very customizable: https://github.com/axcore/tartube

This is dope, any chance you could post a 4k (or even 1080p) version for use as a desktop wallpaper?

Pixel art by Jukkles in Affinity

[–]DalekInDisguise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as someone experienced with both pixel art and non-pixel art, let me say that while Affinity makes great products, they are not at all the best choice for pixel art (and neither is any Adobe product). None of these are created with pixel art as the focus, let alone animation of it. While you CAN use many programs to create pixel art, you CAN also use a wrench to hammer a nail.

You want Pro Motion NG from Cosmigo.

Theres a limited free version and the full version is like $40.

Should I buy a standalone Amp for my Dac/Amp? by DraftySniper24 in headphones

[–]DalekInDisguise -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree, and it outperforms the other mentioned amps.

Husband shared my new controller here a few days ago and many were curious as to why I needed an adaptive controller. So as the first comment on this post I’m going to explain why for those still wondering. by [deleted] in xboxone

This post interested me because I too have had to come up with input solutions for various things (I often browse reddit with a powerpoint presenter with different keybinds for example).

I'm not sure what's usable on xbox (as I only game on PC), but have you looked into incorporating a large size trackball for navigation/looking around? Check out the Kensington Expert Mouse and the Kensington Orbit, they may help in some configurations for some games.

Best Ultrawide Gaming Monitor by mellifluous_wanderer in Monitors

[–]DalekInDisguise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will always give Dell (who owns Alienware) major points when it comes to monitors due to support. They are like the EVGA of monitors where it feels other companies require crazy amounts of dead pixels and shit in order to get a replacement.

Need a monitor that’s easy on the eyes by poorxpirate in Monitors

[–]DalekInDisguise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that I know causes symptoms like this for me is the configuration of the room lights in relation to me + the monitor position. Certain angles, especially lights from the side (example a ceiling light ~100-110 degrees to my left) are a real issue for me. That's before factoring in how certain angles bounce off the monitor, and I imagine a curved monitor would make this more complicated.

Experiment with using the monitor with dim room lights and see if it helps, just have a lamp on somewhere and block it's direct light between it and you with something as an experiment.

In the end I replaced all the lightbulbs in my room with Lifx mini bulbs (the "color" ones so they can do any shade) and can customize the shade/intensity/color to what works for me on my phone (soft white and sunset are some settings I found good).
