its also unfortunate when you mistype it thurstmaster…

Nothing to see here, just a simracing company

You’re not wrong! Just a proof of concept that ended up working pretty well

You should see some of the first iterations of this rig. Scary stuff

Seems like every hobby is too obscure for most to care at the level I do. Sim racing, rtlsdr, self hosting, ANY kind of motorsports, home automation, blogging, DND, video games… At the surface these are not too obscure but I find very few people in my day to day life that care about them in detailed way

I just posted a similar response but I think the issue, at least for me, is how deep into the weeds I get with each subject. Anyone can be into coffee for example, but it’s the ones who do the research and watch the videos about the subject in their free time, that make a simple thing such as coffee become more of an obscure thing. 🤷‍♂️

Wow that’s really neat. I’ll check it out then. Cheers

Divinity original sin 2 id assume. Great game as well by Larian.

Yep…that entire situation is so crappy. The devs deserved better.

Dharkstare, to pcgaming

Despite how much I dislike working with hardware, I'm toying with the idea of building my own PC. A quick perusal through Newegg leaves me wondering why everything related to gaming PCs has to have RGB lights everywhere? How am I supposed to sleep at night when my computer's acting like it's at a rave?

#pcgaming @pcgaming

@Elegast@lemmy.ca avatar

Yep. I didn’t choose to have rgb in my current build, but it’s also very simple to turn them off. Whereas 15 years ago I remember pulling the blindingly bright blue LED from the chassis fans just to be able to have my room dark. Lol

Larian blames localization studio for missing Baldur's Gate 3 credits, says they'll be added in the next hotfix (www.pcgamer.com)

Larian Studios says it has been in contact with a localization company that failed to provide complete credits for the Brazilian translation of Baldur’s Gate 3, and promised that all missing credits will be added in the next hotfix....

Another reason to like Larian. Plus they even called them out which is neat imo.

Oh this is very cool. I’ll definitely check it out. Thanks!

Edit: just downloaded and gave a a quick read. I’m very tempted to give this one a shot. I love the esthetics and theme.

That being said, have you done any similar one shots but for DM and 1 player? Cheers

Elegast,
@Elegast@lemmy.ca avatar

Looks neat I’ll check it out. Would be cool if you could login and it would pull your subscribed communities and then come up with similar communities based on already subbed ones. Cheers.

Torrent galaxy rune release. However not seeing any issues? Malwarebytes scans coming up clean. No integritycheck folder in app data. No hidden process running when game running. 🤷‍♂️?

Elegast,
@Elegast@lemmy.ca avatar

Nice. Got it installed and walking through settings. Seems nice so far. Not sure about ultra pricing though…

I spent some time experimenting with Sync today, but I found that I prefer using Connect for Lemmy. While I appreciate the cleaness of Sync, I don’t enjoy seeing ads when there are alternative options available that are ad-free. As well as Connect handling hidden posts better. I may switch between the two services depending on my needs, but I’m more comfortable with Connect for now.

I haven’t seen anything. My biggest issue with Rocksmith 2014 was I learned guitar reading tabs and could never follow RS as well as auto scrolling tabs.

I know Rocksmith+ has a tab layout that I tried in beta that worked pretty well. Won’t pay a subscription for it though.

Beeper.com ? They have a selfhosted option. I’m using the non-self hosted as of today and it’s been pretty great. Mainly sms bridge and discord bridge are what I have been using.

The BBC on Mastodon: experimenting with distributed and decentralised social media (www.bbc.co.uk)

“As the social media landscape ebbs and flows, the team at BBC Research & Development are researching social technologies and exploring possibilities for the BBC. One part of our work is to establish a BBC presence in the distributed collection of social networks known as the Fediverse, a collection of social media...

Nice. That’s a good idea and I’m happy that the BBC is taking these kinds of steps. Followed the R&D account. Thanks!

This app is quite nice, albeit somewhat minimalist, yet it gets the job done if you prefer not to use the web interface.

I’ve gotten the automatic1111 Photoshop plugin to work pretty well.

Lifespan: Chinchillas have a long lifespan, and potential owners should be prepared for a commitment that could last 10 to 20 years.

Social creatures: Chinchillas are social animals and may benefit from having a same-sex companion to prevent loneliness and boredom.

Special diet: They require a specialized diet consisting of high-fiber hay, chinchilla pellets, and occasional treats. They should not be fed sugary or fatty foods.

Dust baths: Chinchillas need regular dust baths to keep their fur clean and healthy. The dust absorbs excess oils and moisture from their fur.

Temperature sensitivity: Chinchillas are sensitive to heat and should be kept in a cool environment, ideally between 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit (15-21 degrees Celsius).

No water baths: They should never be bathed with water as their dense fur takes a long time to dry and can lead to health issues.

Chewing habits: Chinchillas have constantly growing teeth, and they need appropriate chew toys to prevent dental problems.

Escape artists: Chinchillas are excellent escape artists, so their cages and play areas need to be secure.

Regular exercise: They need opportunities for exercise and playtime outside of their cage.

Veterinary care: Regular check-ups with an exotic pet veterinarian are crucial to monitor their health and catch any potential issues early on.

Quiet and calm environment: Chinchillas are sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements, so a calm living environment is beneficial for their well-being.

Time and attention: Chinchillas are active and curious animals, requiring daily interaction and mental stimulation.

So. Much. Poop.

That’s my understanding of it. It is apparently common in the rodent family.

What can a senior desktop support tech do who is burned out?

I am wondering what kind of career moves I have available to me because I am over the bullshit of desktop support. I have been brushing up on my Linux skills, learning docker, and doing a whole bunch of networking-related things. At this point, I am 46 years old. Would it benefit me to go back to school to learn a skill to help...

Man that’s a jump. My issue is leaving the fairly good pay. But I think it’s going to need to happen soon.

Elegast,
@Elegast@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s interesting. How did you come about finding the job? I’ve done IT my whole life and wouldn’t even know what to look for if not IT.
