Finally playing computer games again;
I feel... good?!?

I inhale silence
Slowing steps gather myself
Feelings flaring home

#haiku #betweenSemesters

Get well soon!

Tag yourself I'm Rise and Grind (I loved Vampyr, I should replay it)

That's when I realized DLSS 5 is the natural culmination of its whole principle!

As soon as you start "playing" with native render, the wall is already broken, why not basically replace the original render with your own? Aren't you kind of doing that at the very first step???

2/2 #showerthoughts

This morning I was thinking about the Steam Deck and how it would be nice to have something smaller but more powerful and how it might be possible in the future

AND I was telling myself, I absolutely don't want something upscaled/cheating in some way the rendering. Just give me the real thing

Man.

I finished going Eastward. It's rare I finish a game. It managed to speak to me in a very special language: when something matters, the only sensible thing to do is to go after it, take care of it; the rest is unnecessary complication. The journey is always for that which matters.

Zorin also has a GNOME environment, avoiding complications between GUI's and driver-level stuff (which I got with Cinnamon).

Watch out for Flatpak's, avoid like the plague unless they have miraculously gotten better (they haven't). Apt is your friend.

Hm that's all I have for now

I get to recommend a Linux distro: YES! ✊

My main PC is dual-booting on Linux Mint/Windows, I think 21.3 Cinnamon. I tried multiple but I ended up preferring Ubuntu/Debian based package managers/structures (you can handily install .deb's). Zorin also uses the same stuff, so I say go for it!

Had to hand-trace a bubble-sort for my assignment. It was... great...

Lesson learned, I guess

I have a dino from 2012 running lubuntu ver.??, still going strong although need to be a rucking champion to lug that thing around. Distro trialing is such a time-consuming but oddly satisfying thing

Nice wallpape too, on yours!

GL for your glitching problems

Never though of them dancing, but I have interpreted them as in a prayer pose, when they are bare like this

Thanks, #Eastward, you always know which of my buttons to push

Man these are incredible. I'm gushing over Roshi and Gogeta shots

Now that you've had a peer review, your paper's the real deal/it only gets better from here 😬

You had me at "dear reader"
- idk what kind of black magic is happening at the menufix screenshots but it looks painterly
- i also always use rule of thirds
- indeed kind of deranged but also passionate and makes me want to jump in the game and my own writing again 🫡 (but midterm tomorrow SATURDAY)

Yeah but you were busy with the DD2 paper, so it's legit!

Loving the bird shot!

You got this, boss
