Mini Monitor Recommendations

I’m looking for a small 7” or 8” computer monitor to keep on my desk to display Discord and other things without taking up real estate on my main monitor. Ideally something cheap and therefore not a touchscreen. There’s tons of options online but I’d like to get some recommendations from people who have a similar...

If you have an iPad, you can use the app Duet. I used it for college back when I only had a laptop and and iPad and it worked surprisingly well.

There’s some lag and you’ll need to install some software on the PC as well, but it’s pretty lightweight if I remember correctly

I think that in an already niche market, it is hard for the average consumer to even further differentiate them into their own niches.

Plus, they’re in the same market. I can’t see someone owning both because they have completely different use cases. If you buy one of them you basically already can do most of what the other one can.

It’s kinda like comparing a Honda Civic to a Ferrari. Yeah they are different, but they are still cars and have a lot in common.

Looking for games with unique core mechanics

I’m requesting for recommendations for games that stand out from the rest in their genre, and not in the sense of being the best game in that niche but actually bringing something new and innovative to the table. I’ve not had much experience in gaming, but I have a few games to give you a hint on what I am talking about:...

Neon White: A parkour FPS puzzle game where you cards are your weapons

Rollerdrome: Best way I’ve heard is described is: Doom x Tony Hawk

Same. Those comments are coming from a place of privilege.

A lot of people in a first world country can’t afford splurges like that anymore. In third world countries it’s even worse. Because of import fees, scarcity, and price gauging, a $60 SSD can easily become $100+. In some countries that’s over half of the average monthly income

I mean Nintendo has been pretty good with backwards compatibility so I’m hopeful they will do that again. That will be the only thing that could push me towards buying a new nintendo console atm. I would sell my switch lite to add to my new switch fund lol

If not, I will just stick to my Steam Deck and PC

Limeaide ,

I don’t think Nintendo has really cared much about graphics since the gamecube era. They realized that people buy their consoles for the games not the graphics

I doubt they would make the console significantly more expensive by adding a GPU that most people wouldn’t really care much about

Limeaide ,

are you going to buy starfield at launch?

Limeaide ,

couch co-op. i don’t think it has online co-op

I really like the hunter call of the wild. it’s not perfect visually, but there have been moments when i just stop to look around and not even care about hunting

Looking for resources to rebuild my music collection

In the pre-streaming days I used to have a large collection of ripped and downloaded music. However as my taste in music is extremely wide and it became easier and more fun to use hacked streaming services (i.e. Youtube Music Vanced) to play music especially on the go, I decided to let my music collection go years ago. Plus…...

Noob question

Whenever I search for 1337x or any other site someone recommends, how do I know which one is reliable? Because if I search in Google, DuckDuckGo, or any other search engine, I get results with domains ending in .is .to. .tw .skin .net etc.

Are they all just different proxies to the same thing or is there a list of reliable links?

Limeaide ,

I don’t have an exact answer, but there are a lot of games that you need the wiki up on your second monitor for. Their tutorials teach you the basic controls, but nothing about what you’re supposed to do or anything like that.

I feel it’s kinda lazy on the developer’s side and leave it to the community to do their job. You see a 5-10 min video on youtube explaining everything, yet the developer couldn’t do that?

Limeaide ,

I get what you’re saying but there are ways to implement it in the gameplay with prompts, descriptions and dialogue.

I love a lot of the games I’m criticizing, but sometimes they go too far. I’ll pick up the fart machine 3000 and the description will just say “Butt Fart Pfffft Toot Toot” and I’m just kinda left like wtf and i have to close the game and go into the wiki to see what the hell i just picked up and if its worth the inventory space

In CSGO I constantly switching guns andbinspecting my weapons. The animations and sounds are really satisfying to me

In Minecraft flying around in the Elytra feels really nice. I wish there was some sort of time trials minigame for the Elytras

Limeaide ,

Lol i like that they come with games bc its easier, but i feel like once the big companies catch on, that will be the downfall of the industry

Just want a solid gaming laptop (reddit.com)

My mom likes to play No Man’s Sky and Valheim, but her Asus TUF started freezing on games. RMA found no problems and sent it back to her but it still happens. I ordered a Legion for her but now I see these posts about all Nvidia 40-series laptops freezing up. What’s a gaming mom supposed to do?

Limeaide , (edited )

It might also be worth looking at Steam Deck alternatives. GPD, AYA, ASUS, etc.

I only own a Steam Deck, but I’ve seen a couple videos on alternatives and they look pretty good. Since you were already planning on spending laptop money, an upgrade might be worth it so your mom can have that extra power. They might not be as user friendly as the Steam Deck though

i also recommend doing a factory install of your OS with a USB drive

Limeaide ,

Any gaming feeds that you all recommend?

Limeaide ,

Added. Thank you!

Limeaide ,

I really wish it was ported to PC. It looks like a lot of fun

Limeaide ,

Lmao wow so defensive. Haven’t seen this type of behaviour since I left reddit

Limeaide ,

I’ve never used Sync before, but something worth noting is that it isn’t open source, and there are ads and in app purchases according to the google store page

Limeaide ,

I wasn’t aware of this! Thanks for putting this on my radar

Limeaide ,

Seriously one of my favorite games of all time. It really reminded me of my childhood and how big a small place felt. The map is relatively small, but it didn’t feel that way while playing it

Limeaide ,

I’ve been mostly playing Risk of Rain 2, but over the weekend I finally beat it after about 30 hours lol. I honestly didn’t even try to beat it, I was just having fun killing a bunch of things. I think it’s one of the only games where I don’t feel bad losing a 1hr+ run

After finishing this game, I think I might have the confidence to go back and try to finish Enter the Gungeon. This time I might just look up a guide on how to finish it since I’ve been strictly trying to beat games without outside influence in recent years and I have no idea about anything outside of what I have discovered in the 15+ hours of gameplay I have so far

Time to Move on From PS5?

I’ve been having some thoughts lately that I would have believed crazy just a few years ago. I’m starting to think it might be time to move on from my PS5 and triple A gaming as a whole. I’ve had a PlayStation from the PS2 all the way to the latest generation of consoles. I remember fondly time spent roaming the lands of...

Limeaide ,

This is a great time to also be introduced to the patient gamer movement lol

Most games that have come out recently have had their fair share of issues. I like to skip all of those games and instead play older titles that have already been patched, have a definitive edition, and are much cheaper

I can’t remember the last game that I bought on release and tbh it has saved me a lot of time and money. Usually when I start seeing video essays about a game is when I start thinking about getting it lol

It all comes down to personal preference though. I don’t mind missing out on initial hype even if it can be exciting to experience the community discovering new things all at once. Sometimes bashing on the developers/publishers as a community can be just as fun lmao

Limeaide ,

Not sure if I fully understand what you’re saying, but if I do, it’s hard to agree when new games are now costing $70USD

Limeaide ,

Not a bad idea considering that both can be docked for a more traditional console experience.

I use my steam deck the most for gaming nowadays. Plus, the steam deck is basically a console as long as you stay on steam. I have added heroic launcher for games from GOG and even that is really simple

Limeaide ,

To me, having an SD card with DRM free games is even better than physical copies for switch and such. I’ve bought switch games before that aren’t actually on the cartridge and you have to download a bunch of stuff to get it running.

Not only that, but files can easily be transferred and copied wherever you’d like.

Idk if that’s an issue on ps5 and xbox

Limeaide ,

It honestly seems like some sort of virus going around. It has affected people I know, strangers I see on the street, CEOs, celebrities, comedians, etc.

People have just lost their common sense and are more likely to believe the impossible than the improbably. More likely to act out of spite than the interests of society as a whole, or even their own self interest.

Not sure if it was COVID, the internet, media, or idk what else, but people like Elon are popping up left and right. It’s crazy and I don’t even have the words to describe it.
