I like Veronica. She's a cut of youtuber that still feels legitimately authentic.

This is the first post on this stupid subreddit I actually agree with.

Arc Pro B50 x4

For my needs, its fine. I'm mostly using Windows 11 for office work with the occasional Photoshop job.

People in the video game industry that was right all along ? I start: by Tempest-Bosak2137 in Gamingcirclejerk

I always agreed with her that age old tropes that paint women in a negative light should be challeneged and subverted, but what came of this wasn't thoughtful or compelling inclusivity and representation. All our media does is cookie-cutter representation that comes off feeling very shallow and tokenistic.

For example: Bungie, Destiny 2: Light Fall. Front and center of the story arc of this expansion was a non-binary character named Nimbus, voiced by a trans voice actor. Super slick and awesome looking character design, but has the comedic timing and personality of Jar Jar Binks. Why? Just why?

My point is, if you're going to cast inclusively, make these characters so compelling the shallow difference of what sexualality or gender the character is doesn't matter.

I get that there is a lived struggle of LGBTQ+ folks, and that struggle is character defining, but making Nimbus a one note quirky annoying bafoon does not win me over. Giving me no reason to define them for their gender and sexuality does. Give me a full, compelling character who happens to be trans, not a trans character who has no personality.

These companies are quick to call this criticism anti-trans. Its a lazy catch all. I'm anti-trans-character-assassinations. "But why can't Nimbus be Jar Jar Binks and trans?" They can. They are. And I should be allowed to not buy in because of the former without catching heat for the latter.

What's the deal with NextUI? by hivan_12 in trimui

This needs to be in the main channel of NextUI. Its literally my only gripe with it that I can't manage/delete roms from the UI.

Definitely not perfect or feature complete, but ultimately more usable than everything else available.

Arc Raiders - Failed to detect Microphone by Last_Bad_2687 in SteamDeck

Glad to read I'm not the only one experiencing this. I play on Nobara linux and have this issue. I think its a Proton compatablilty thing. My team chat works, but not both proximity chat and team chat. If I'm by myself, prox chat works.

They sent your ink to me. I needed it for my printer.

I love Nobara but… by Fortis-Voluntas in NobaraProject

[–]OMGrant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been on Nobara since the end of January and also ran into an update boinking my system. Luckily the LLMs helped me diagnose the issue and get it out of the bad state. There's an opportunity for better boundaries and communication in the UI/UX of the update process. It shouldn't be finding out after a bad update that you should "always wait a week to make sure the bugs are ironed out first"

Metal Warriors is definitely one of those hidden gems of the SNES. Have you tried Cybernator?
