Parellius@lemmy.worldto [Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•What is your current wallpaper? Where did you find it?English3·1 year agoI’ve had wallpapers of the latest McLaren F1 cars for the last few years. In my case this is from the official McLaren website but sometimes the official ones are a bit pants.

Parellius@lemmy.worldto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] New month of a new year, new games. What are you playing on your deck? - January 20243·2 years agoGrabbed Mass Effect Legendary Edition on sale for £4.99 and having a blast. Completed the first game last night and now started on the second one. Runs like a dream, EA launcher didn’t cause any issues (I loaded it in desktop mode the first time) and the game is as good as I remember from first time around.
The only issue I’m having is when I use the HDR calibration in game I wind up losing a bunch of detail in dark areas and the image overall is way too dark.
I’ve also picked up subnautica ready to give it a proper go at some point after picking it up and it not quite gripping me on game pass on desktop.
I’ve never been a Linux guy but recently I’ve switched to Pop!OS on my laptop and bought a Steam Deck. Other than a few teething issues with the laptop I’ve had a great experience and I wouldn’t consider myself ridiculously tech savvy. I’d absolutely consider switching my gaming PC over but my worry is loss of performance and being unable to use my game pass games. I’d be super happy if I could switch my PC over in the next couple of years.

It was also mostly ignored by people desperate to get their selfie with a postage stamp-sized painting for their social media.
Parellius@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was a profound moment that a video game caused you to experience, and why?3·2 years agoGod, Planetside and Planetside 2 in their prime were my absolute jam. I was a reasonably active participant in an outfit called Libertas de Dominitas on Werner and even went to an outfit meetup in Manchester. There’s never been anything else that quite comes close to Planetside.
Parellius@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August2·2 years agoI’m on the UK and taking paternity leave in December. By using some of my holiday allowance plus a Christmas shutdown I’m turning my 4 week paternity leave into 8 weeks off in total. It’s hardly a holiday (seeing as we’ll be lookin after a newborn and my other half will be recovering from a c-section/childbirth) but god-damn I am looking forward to two months of just focusing on mu family.
I love this and would love to buy a print/support the artist but the only place I see to get hold of her is Reddit.
