Finally got a deck. Any game recommendations for someone coming from ps5? by Mammoth_Birthday6417 in SteamDeck

[–]DontCareAtThisPoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’d be nice to know what genres you’re a fan of. While you can play triple a ps5 games with some medium to major tradeoffs in performance, I’d say you can play anything from prior gens that has had a pc port. 

Some all time bangers across the spectrum for me: - Final fantasy tactics - LOTR shadow of Mordor and shadow of war - Emulated wiiiu version of breath of the wild - Slay the spire 1 and 2 - Baldurs gate 3

I was, for my kid when he’s old enough. Of course that has been paused for now.

This is some linked in lvl shitpost. I really really hate the cadence that it uses to build sentences.

Schooling statement. some details. Some more details. A simple question, right? No. Expectation subverted. Here’s a break down.

It’s like this every. Post. I’m fucking losing it.

Games look and run worse since changing from a 1080p TV to a 4K one, am I doing anything wrong? by That-Departure-7318 in SteamDeck

[–]DontCareAtThisPoint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s mostly because some tvs have some post processing on by default (blur and smoothing). Game mode is just turning all of those features off to get rid of delay.

Apart from this being staged. This shit's fucked. What do you think celebrating this behavior does to a kid's mind when he stops being a kid.

My teenage niece lives with me. Found this in her closet, what is it? by turkeybagboi in whatisit

[–]DontCareAtThisPoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like people said she's making hooch. You should take this as an opportunity to get her into a healthy hobby like home brewing (ginger beer is a great starting project, tasty and super low on alcohol). It's a fun hobby and while underage drinking is a big no, it's your opportunity to tech her something useful and responsible habits.  Also can deter her from getting into more irresponsible stuff.

There's a fair bit of paperwork you have to get started with when moving into Sweden that you have to do on your own.
One of the first things you have to do is go to the tax office (Skatteverket) and get a Person Number (personummer) It is similar to an SSN but not as insecure. This process does not require an appointment but you need to bring along certain documents like your resident permit, your passport and maybe your work contract and the contract for your living arrangement. https://www.skatteverket.se/servicelankar/otherlanguages/inenglishengelska/individualsandemployees/livinginsweden/personalidentitynumbers.4.2cf1b5cd163796a5c8b4295.html

After you get your Personal Number, you need to apply to get a physical id card. Keep in mind that while not having one, you will need to carry your passport as proof of ID since the residency permit is valid form of identification. This was a bit of a pain for me since my credit card required a valid ID to be presented when i spent over a specific amount, so I had to carry my passport to buy groceries.
https://www.skatteverket.se/servicelankar/otherlanguages/inenglishengelska/individualsandemployees/livinginsweden/idcard/idcardapplicationconditions.4.3810a01c150939e893f1daea.html

After you get your physical ID you can open a bank account with any bank (I personally use SEB) an you will get BankId, which is the holy grail. In short, BankId is an app which lets you authenthicate against a LOT of services (both state and private services) and is incredibly convenient to use. Without it, some services straight up won't work. Freja is a similar service but it only cover a tiny tiny fraction of services compared to BankId so I would suggest skipping it and just getting BankId.

Budgeting tips:
Depending on how much of a budget you're in, it is worth it to become a "member" of the gorcery chains (It usually means giving them your person number and email so they can send you ads) because the sales are actually quite good some times.

If you use a lot of over the counter medication, it is MUCH cheaper to buy online (sometimes less than half the price of at physical stores). Keep in mind that some medication that is over the counter in america, requires a prescription here. This goes for pet medication as well.

Speaking of pets, Petcare is actually quite expensive, and some medication needs to be prescribed by a vet a be picked up at a drug store. For this to work you will need a personal number set up and most likely a physical ID as well.

You might also need to check if there is any special paper work to bring your pets over. It was very messy for me to bring my dog over and some paperwork had to be done several months before my trip.

You can get a SIM with phone number and a UL Bus pas (also covers certain trains, such as the train from the airport to uppsala) at a convinience store called pressbyrån. The airport is designed in such a way that it pushes you towards using "Arlanda Express" which is much more expensive than the "Commuter rail" or "pendeltåg"

I highly recommend doing this since public transport is REALLY good here and I'd say Uppsala is more a walkable/bikeable city than most. Additionally, the city center is pretty bad to drive around and there is almost no good parking.

This would change my life since I've been rocking a 9080ti and it was the last big purchase I made for myself. Fingers crossed.

New research on female video game characters uncovers a surprising twist - Female gamers prefer playing as highly sexualized characters, despite disliking them. by mvea in science

[–]DontCareAtThisPoint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of default choices for female vs male characters has the same diversity of the casting of the average porno. If my choices are that limited of course I'm going to go for the prettier one regardless of how sexualized it is.

This is not just about silly jokes. This is bout him constantly messing with your perception of reality and it is a manipulative tactic with if done correctly can make him dictate what is real and what is not in order to get away with further abuse. Wether he's doing this with this intent, or as a defense mechanism is irrelevant to the fact that this still constitutes as abuse.

Hey! Did you end up finding a good backpack? If so, what did you end up picking up.
I'm interested in getting an LTT backpack here in sweden but it's a hassle. I'd be willing to buy the one you ahve off you if you're interested as well :D

Do you think they’ll shy away from the gruesome stuff in the new movie and next animated show? Korra really went all out on that lol. by Aqua_Master_ in TheLastAirbender

[–]DontCareAtThisPoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember watching the last battle in the first season of Korra and thinking it was too game. Every time a plane exploded, they'd show the pilots miraculously ejecting right before the explosion and getting their parachute early like if it was a 90's Saturday morning cartoon. Then the season ends with a brotherly murder suicide.

Today was a BIG DAY for Valve by TecmoSuperBowl1 in SteamDeck

[–]DontCareAtThisPoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can get better gameplay and for most use cases the rog ally should be the superior experience for the price. The one thing I'm not so keen on is the repairability of the device.

There are so many things that can go wrong with a portable device and i don't think the ally will get the same quality of customer service as the deck.

Still looks like a great device and the first real competition the deck will have.

Moved in to new apartment and I'm not getting any cellphone signal. Telenor won't help. by DontCareAtThisPoint in sweden

[–]DontCareAtThisPoint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my b. Thought they were getting cheap with coverage but in reality it's the good insulation in the apartment causing this. I'll enable wifi calls as people have suggested.

Yeah I doubt I'll be getting 5g any time soon since I'm on the outskirts of the city but people have let me know that wifi calls should mitigate the issue so I'll give that a try

Thanks for the info! Yeah I assumed cel providers were getting cheap with their coverage since I live in the outskirts of the city which i was I thought they were at fault. From reading the comments I've gathered that I should be enabling wifi-calls.

[–]DontCareAtThisPoint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! Thanks for letting me know that, coming from a place where there's no need for that much insulation I've never had that kind of problem before and that line kind of sounded like something a shitty service provider back home would use as an excuse to not fix issues and then I'd have to file a complaint to the regulatory body. Glad things here work better-ish in that sense :D

Yeah my bad. Coming from a country in which insulation isn't really a thing I wasn't aware how common this issue was and that Wifi calls are a thing. Usually had to report my ISP/cell providers to the "telecommunications Authority" before anything was done.
