  • Analogue 3D - I've Never Spent So Much To Play Old Games..

    Jump

  • I would say I would never spend that much, but then I remember my £1000 Desktop I mainly use for playing old games...

  • Mozilla is working on a big Firefox redesign, here is what it looks like

    Jump

  • I'm far from an expert, but Ui design as a job seems to have a huge flaw were if you eventually make the "perfect Ui" you're suddenly out of a job.

    So you're straight up punished for doing your job well and the only way to maintain a career is to just re-invent the wheel every so often and chase the trends of others doing the same thing so your Ui designs don't look "outdated"

  • Firefox Nova - our first look at the browser's big redesign - OMG! Ubuntu

    Jump

  • I've been using FireFox-Ui-Fix since back when it was still called 'Proton Fix'.

    Makes it look more like an actual desktop browser again. And it works on LibreWolf which I use nowadays.

    Let's hope it keeps getting updated for the foreseeable future...

  • Steam hardware survey for February 2026. What happened? Why did it lose such a big percentage?

    Jump

  • No clue, Think it's one of those 'Worked well enough in the past' things they just never bothered to re-work.

    I personally wish they would update it to be more globally accurate but it's Valve so.

  • Steam hardware survey for February 2026. What happened? Why did it lose such a big percentage?

    Jump

  • It's due to how Valve conducts these surveys. Rather than pulling from the entire user pool at once, they rotate between different chunks of the userbase every month.

    You'll notice this if you look at the system language stats, The Chinese speaking population jumps and falls by a rather large percent every month.

    This also could explain why Windows 10 had another jump in users this month, From what I hear internet cafes are still a popular way to game in China. and I doubt many of these places have updated all their machines to Windows 11 yet.

  • Manjaro let their SSL certificate expire again

    Jump

  • Purple Arch has yet to fail me.

  • Which Rhythm Tengoku (or other retro games) song do you guys consider the best option for a phone ringtone?

    Jump

  • Barely counts as retro but I have a friend who's had the in-game ringtone from Saints Row the Third as their real life ringtone for over a decade now.

    Always funny when someone new hears it for the first time and asks about it.

  • Western Digital Has No More HDD Capacity Left, as CEO Reveals Massive AI Deals; Brace Yourself For Price Surges Ahead!

    Jump

  • Bought 60TB around the same time. Think I'm living easy for a while.

  • I made a kernel module for overclocking USB devices (gamepads, mice, etc.)

    Jump

  • I heard way back when that overclocking mice wasn't too unheard of around some competitive Quake players. But this was when mice were still mainly using 100 to 250hz polling rate.

    Think most big brand mice and certainly any half decent gaming mouse will be 1000hz nowadays. But people will always want bigger and faster which you see now with some 4000/8000hz peripherals popping up.

  • Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers.

    Jump

  • My grandmother owned a PS1 which was the first console I ever played on as a kid.

    But it was also the last console she ever owned and she said it was because of the move to thumbsticks made her gave up on gaming. Kinda sad...

  • Something to agree upon.

    Jump

  • it's a simple question

    Jump

  • Honestly the skill level for Arch is kinda overblown nowadays.

    You can use Archinstall and get a full desktop and a pretty hands off experience if you don't go around tweaking any lower level system stuff.

    And if you're extra lazy (like me) Endeavour or Cachy makes the minimal setup even more streamlined with good default settings. But you still get the AUR and fast updates, which I assume it what the average user wants more than complete control over how their system is setup.

  • Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why?

    Jump

  • Social media turning every hobby into a "hustle"

    "Retro, Vintage" old stuff in general is trendy right now. And people saw this and bought up as much cheap stock as they could and raised the prices to insane levels because all the cheap stock is now own by them...

    That's a very oversimplified explanation but it's affected more than just retro consoles.

  • You can now use Debian without Linux

    Jump

  • Minimal requirements for Linux: Linux Kernal (optional)

  • Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases

    Jump

  • I'm using 32GB of Corsair DDR4 I got back in 2016. Think I can safely say I got my moneys worth already and still intend to ride it into 2030 at this rate.

  • Latest Steam Deck update will warn you if an Xbox controller needs upgrading

    Jump

  • Ngl I only played the PS4 for about a month to play Bloodborne before I gave it to my brother. I just kept one of the controllers.

  • Latest Steam Deck update will warn you if an Xbox controller needs upgrading

    Jump

  • I mainly played on PS3 for years from release and that was never a thing...

    The console got plenty of updates but never the controller.

  • Latest Steam Deck update will warn you if an Xbox controller needs upgrading

    Jump

  • I have NEVER heard of any controller before this current generation needing firmware upgrades.

    Even the launch model PS4 controller I use on my PC never asked for an update and still works fine...

  • New Mozilla CEO: "[Firefox] will evolve into a modern AI browser"

    Jump

  • I use LibreWolf but tell most people to use Waterfox since it's just Firefox without Mozilla's crap.
