My wife has one, I don’t like to use it, it’s too aggressive for me.
I can reach my back with my arms. To get the spot right between my shoulders I have to reach up and come down from the top with one arm, while using my other hand to grab my elbow and pull it to push my hand low enough to get it more effectively.

Or if you’ve already got multiple copies of the game on multiple devices, you can use something like a multiviewer to split it up.
No need for a special TV in either case 😉
It’s an interesting trend these days, people wearing headphones and earbuds everywhere they go.
It’s not my preference, and I get that it’s a personal choice.
I agree there are definitely times where it makes sense, alone at the gym for example.
But I see groups of kids walking around, most of them with at least one or both headphones/earbuds on/in, and I’m like, what are you listening to? I can’t imagine doing that.
But obviously some people like it, it’s just not me 🤷♂️

This hits HARD. I was so stupid.

According to my pet peeve, this looks fine? I just scrolled past a meme that said something like “download a ISO” and I was like gah, no, it’s AN ISO.
beastlykings@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•I swapped the entire school computers to linux mint1·2 months agoI was thinking more like using an immutable or atomic os instead, like bazzite or bluefin. At least then you get regular updates, and core functionality is safely protected.
This actually got me into a car accident as a young driver.
I had just gotten on the highway heading home, rural towns. The gas gauge was broken so I had to count miles on the odometer to know when I was low, and I realized at that moment that I was desperately in need of gas.
So I took the first exit, and started looking for a gas station. I’m driving the speed limit, 55mph, and coming around a very large slowly sweeping curve I see what looks like a gas station up ahead on the left. There are no other businesses on the road. It had a tall sign out front. I didn’t recognize the sign, I was trying to read what it said, to see if it was a gas station or not. But I couldn’t read it. I was struggling to make sense of what I was seeing, honestly. A Martin Glass? An olive? I don’t remember all the things on it. But the point is, it was items, party items, that spelled out the word… party? It was a party store… and then I hit the guy in front of me who was stopped dead in the middle of the road waiting to turn left into a driveway.
I was so distracted trying to read that stupid sign, I didn’t even see him until the last second. I had time to swerve a bit, and I locked the brakes. I ended up hitting his back right bumper and crushing it in, a glancing blow that didn’t even touch his trunk. Just the bumper. He drove away no problem.
My car was a different story, it tore my lower control arm and snapped my tie-rod. Took out the front left quarter panel, hood, bumper, and headlight too. I had to get towed home, like 2 hours.
Technically my fault, and I got the ticket. But dang it if to this day, I don’t still blame that stupid sign. The Martini glass was the Y, I think the olive was the A? I don’t remember, I should try finding it again.

Know that feeling 😂
That’s the point. The first option killed everything but the player. This kills only the cows.
beastlykings@sh.itjust.worksOPtoAppliance Repair@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Fridge thermostat making rhythmic steady ticking noise?1·3 months agoSorry life got really busy, and doesn’t look like it’ll let up for a few more weeks.
The compressor seems to be running as normal, things are still cold. Just the constant ticking. Sometimes it’s quieter, other times louder.
I’m just glad it’s still kicking. I’m pretty handy, so I imagine I can replace the part pretty easily, just need to find time

beastlykings@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Framework “temporarily pausing” some laptop sales because of new tariffsEnglish18·3 months agoJust bought my FW13 last month. USA. It’s either perfect timing, because tariffs. Or terrible timing, because tariffs. I haven’t decided yet.
Love the laptop though!
beastlykings@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?English2·3 months agoDefinitely you should look into Linux, it’s really gotten quite good. Especially if you don’t need games with anti cheat.
But if you just want to use Windows 11, it’s super duper easy. Just Google “download Windows 11 iso” and grab the iso file from Microsoft website.
Then download Rufus.
Then pop in a thumb drive that’s at least 8gb. Open Rufus, select your thumb drive and the iso, then choose the option to remove windows requirements, then click start.
Backup your files on Windows 10, save them somewhere. Then pop in the thumb drive and install windows 11 fresh.
The requirements aren’t actually required. Win 11 runs fine on all sorts of hardware. Support stops at 8th Gen Intel, but I’ve installed it on 5th Gen. My work laptop is 2nd or 3rd Gen. It’s fine 🤷♂️
Technically less secure? Yeah, in some ways. But it’s miles ahead of running unpatched windows 10 after September.
beastlykings@sh.itjust.worksto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•I hate people who only release their App on flatpak0·4 months agoI’m coming back to Linux after a hiatus. I’ve spent most of my time with the Debian flavors. Not afraid of the command line, but not an expert either.
I’m trying out Bluefin right now, semi-immutable atomic os based on silverblue, based on Fedora.
On normal installs, I usually change and install enough stuff, that when it comes time to upgrade to the next os version, I’m sometimes not able to without introducing instability or it outright falling. The former more common than the latter.
Let’s just say I got used to reinstalling and starting from scratch, especially if I experimented too hard and broke something big like my DE or drivers.
So with bluefin I’m hoping to leave everything that’s core, alone. I’m trying to rely on flatpaks, app images, and distrobox for everything else.
So far so successful. I’ve only got a couple minor gripes, some limitations of flatpaks. But I’ve also only been at it for like a week, so we’ll see.
I guess my point is, flatpaks have a place 🤷♂️
beastlykings@sh.itjust.worksOPto Framework Laptop Community@lemmy.ml•I finally caved and got a FW13, I love it!1·4 months agoWell finding accurate, well written information like that is harder and harder to find in today’s AI slop landscape. So you’re helping out tremendously, even though you didn’t write it.
I’ll find a way to thank the writer if I can 👍
beastlykings@sh.itjust.worksOPto Framework Laptop Community@lemmy.ml•I finally caved and got a FW13, I love it!0·4 months agoThis did it!
Specifically, installing the QXL-WDDM-DoD driver did it!
It’s still not full resolution, it maxes out somewhere below the 2.8k of the framework screen. But it’s almost full screen, and 90% perfect.
Thanks a million man!
Edit: To be clear, they have other options for spice manager and stuff, and none of that worked for me 🤷♂️
