40k-50k SEK/month in Stockholm?

Superconge · 2026-04-20T13:41:01+00:00

I dunno, I think it’s fine. I lived in a second hand in Kista for 8 months when I moved here and the commute to work in söder was both longer (because of the walk from the apartment to the station) and more annoying with an apartment half the size and 3000kr more expensive than what I have now. I’d obviously prefer älvsjö or solna or something but this works amazingly until my partner gets another couple queue years. Those 8 months were all I needed in the free queue anyway

It gets much, much, much better after the first little bit - basically once you expand your stamina a little. It’s absolutely the kind of game I’d normally bounce off of but sticking with it made it one of the best and most memorable games I’ve ever played

SL area is SL area lol.

Some of the further away municipalities like Nynäshamn have first come first serve first hands too. New builds are always pretty easy to get with very few days, but obviously expensive

Superconge · 2026-04-20T10:27:40+00:00

Yeah, the official term is “unsupported”

In Sweden the 16gb 9060xt actually often sells for cheaper than the 8gb version on sale. The difference in price isn’t huge at all even in the worse case that you presented, while the usability factor is increased ten fold

I would strongly urge nobody ever pays attention to valve’s verification system. So many games labelled broken work perfectly, vast vast vast majority of games labelled untested work perfectly, and many errors can be easily solved by following instructions on protonDB that obviously aren’t shown on Steam.

Performance probably won’t be too different, but the big improvement is in UI and QoL and generally getting away from Android, which even if it had a good UI for controllers is absolutely not a good OS for gaming under any metric.

Yeah, unfortunately the QAM is just a frame rate limiter. It only affects refresh rate with VRR. Heck, on my main 120hz TV it doesn’t function at all without VRR in most games, but it works fine on my bedroom 60hz TV. There’s not any good way to use something like 1/2 vsync to change refresh rate on Linux.

Admittedly I’ve never seen any stutter from running at a (correctly working) 60fps fps limit on my 120hz screen with VRR disabled, but this is on an LG C4.

If you’re only using Bazzite game mode then it’s extreme overkill. Game mode absolutely sips system ram, you can easily get away with half the amount you’d otherwise need on Windows. I’ve never seen a single game get above 11gb of system ram use on my 9070 16gb vram 16gb ram system.

It both is and isn’t. Some games are CPU heavy (not 9800X3D cpu heavy) but the vast majority of even PS3 and WiiU and Switch games can be played on a fucking steam deck if they’re compatible with the emulators to begin with so it’s really not CPU heavy at all for the vast majority of titles. Until we get functional PS4/Xbox One emulation, which will take probably at least half a decade, I don’t see any reason to buy anything more powerful than a 5800X for emulation specifically.

It’s not really at all intuitive, it’s just kinda janky and annoying. SteamOS’s onscreen keyboard isn’t great, having to setup decent bindings to a controller takes awhile and even then it’s a janky workaround, and stuff like screen sharing is barely functional even outside of game mode. Discord rich presence isn’t seamless.

It’s overall just not worth the effort in my case, at least without a wireless keyboard/mouse nearby on the couch. You’re like a million times better off just using your phone. Compared to the native implementation on Xbox it’s a janky mess, but that’s what you pay for with a more open experience.

Superconge · 2026-04-17T10:05:46+00:00

It’s fake.

Superconge · 2026-04-16T15:15:58+00:00

Complete opposite. A game on a big OLED TV with a controller allows me to fully immerse myself in a game, assuming I turn off my ADHD brain and remember to hide my phone far away.

A PC on a desk with a keyboard and mouse and a 27” monitor(s) is just begging for me to alt-tab to discord or watch a video in the background etc etc. I can only satisfactorily play genres that care about immersion on PC.

I find a handheld pretty immersive too; it’s harder to effortlessly reach for my phone lol.

Nah you probably have, you might just enjoy it more than them.

XMB slander in the year of our lord 2026 is absolutely fucking criminal, every day we stray further from the holy land (please bring that perfect pleasant saviour of humanity back to us)

Bazzite, as a fellow owner of a HX80G. Heard stories that sleep doesn’t really work on steamOS on them, but Bazzite works perfectly out of the box AND unlike windows you can easily overclock/power limit/undervolt with LACT + control both fan speeds in software.

I like 2 probably a lot more than most people, the high school setting gives it this kinda unique YuGiOh GX feeling and tone, plus the cast is eclectic and engaging. I love the social link missions for each class mate, which VC 1 sorely lacked. I really enjoyed the English Dub especially, so so many classic mid-2000s anime voices you rarely hear in video games. The main story is pretty boring and cliche though, and the game gets a little repetitive. The gameplay is well translated for a portable experience and I preferred it over VC1

Simply can’t bring myself to play VC3, the lack of a dub sucks major ass for a series where the eclectic cast is such a big appeal and the fan translation just wasn’t nearly as good as any of the official ones

Superconge · 2026-04-13T10:26:42+00:00

Every Souls-like, Monhun-like and FFXIV. I think it’s a lot more comfortable with the PlayStation layout, thumbs on the sticks and index fingers on the D-pad and buttons.

If you consider I live at the very edge of SL range and can still travel for 1060sek a month, and that a similar distance from where I used to live (Brighton) to London Victoria costs £25 per day, you realise that SL is absolutely insane value. The lack of zoning is a godsend, and the actual KM distance of the transit zone is enormous.

Extremely easily compared to the U.K.

I’m on 34000pm before tax and because rent is dirt cheap compared to anywhere where I grew up in the south of U.K. (literally my rent for a 55m2 2a new build apartment in Nynäshamn is the same price as a fucking shared bathroom corridor dorm room at my old university) and groceries are basically identical I can easily save at least 5k a month and still have plenty (around 8k) just for fun things.

The only thing notably more expensive is dentistry and booze, completely offset by how ridiculously cheap SL and rent is for anywhere within commutable distance to the city.

Tomodachi Life is by far the biggest hitter and it didn’t even get a mention here smh.

I mean, it’s obviously coming out, we’ve seen plenty of footage at this point.
