@killyourfm nobody benefits more from your help, than projects you'd be passionate about anyway. im sure you know this already, but im just putting it out in the world that if there are projects you love, then your help will mean all the more to them!

@killyourfm depending on the game, you might well get away with 40FPS locked, or even 30FPS for casual games too!

@killyourfm and just like learning to dance, you gotta practice and practice and practice until you hit the marks, and these games are in my opinion, exactly like that

@killyourfm if they're not your taste if games, that's fine! everyone is different. but please, be kind and try not to put yourself down like that. the games are not too challenging for you, i am quite sure.

if they're not what you'd find any enjoyment from, then there's no good reason i can say to play them. but if you would find enjoyment, then please be good to yourself and don't hold yourself back for reasons that are simply not true!

take care, and have fun!

@killyourfm i think you'd probably be surprised. I am definitely not in my younger years anymore, and it shows when I do attempt to play counter strike online. strategy helps, but my reactions are down.

anyway, i think they're a fantastic teacher of the skill of patience, and a fun reinforcement learner of perseverance. most of the game is really just about finding the dance rhythms and learning it, but it takes time.

the reward of bettering myself is, in my opinion, worth it.

@killyourfm Dark Souls 3, after having finished Hollow Knight and Silksong and wanting more. Gonna do Sekiro and Elden Ring after too. Great games to sink countless hours into, really enjoying the rhythm/puzzle aspect of the combat!

@killyourfm indeed. if you want to edit straight from the NAS, i would recommend one with 10Gbit network port, and make sure devices connected to it do so using 10Gbit networking too. That way there's little chance you'll have any issues with it, it might even be faster than editing locally (although latency could be higher).

The tricky part is finding a good tradeoff of which RAID type to use, and the answer depends on how much you value performance vs security, and which NAS and filesystem.

@killyourfm USB-C is fine for all of those, even networked is completely fine. It all depends on the speed of the interfaces and cables. USB-C can be USB 2 speeds 480Mb/s, or it can be USB 4 speeds of 40Gbit/s.

@davep you also can't afford a nuclear power station or a wind turbine farm but you can power your house with wood burning stoves too. sure is some bias here, even if intentions may seem decent.

@wonka unfortunately to my knowledge this is impossible following current living standards. solar is not free renewable on a long enough timescale either, nor is nuclear. they're the better option I'd argue, but we shouldn't ignore their demand for destructive industrial mining and imports of rare earth metals and such, all so we can post hot takes on social medias like these.

@wonka there's a level of sustainably that may be possible, but if we are to stop entirely then the human race has to cease existing. but i do agree that current levels of consumption and industrial waste pose a great threat.

@wonka no, it shouldn't stop us going towards using those, but we should absolutely be mindful of the effects those have as well. long lasting and low polluting systems may well lead to lower consumption and thus an increase in sustainability, but this is not guaranteed without being mindful and enforcing regulations that make it so.

@wonka or to put it another way: solar panels only sound like a good idea if they can last 15+ years. if you have to replace them every other year due to low quality materials and planned obsolescence, then we might not be better off. there's a bigger picture that matters too, and it all needs to fit decently together to ensure we can ie. reduce CO2 emissions and also maintain a sustainable consumption.

@wonka i am not from the US, nor have i ever been. I'm not saying PV panels are becoming uneconomical in less than 15 years. I'm saying in order for them to be sustainable, we have to ensure they're regulated to KEEP them being sustainable, so we don't end up with them being made cheaply at the cost of sustainability. as with most things.

@killyourfm you COULD make videos that YOU want to, and only WHEN you want to. not everything has to be profit and growth driven.

@killyourfm unfortunately a lot of people who reviewed even the Steam Deck also didn't get it, even when they praised it.

@killyourfm if you take your time with it, it might stay even longer too

@killyourfm having those experiences is a great way to remind ourselves how good it feels to live out our daily lives. and to remind ourselves in our daily lives, how great the experiences out there can be too!

@killyourfm the main quest is the side quests we made along the way!

@killyourfm you should try comparing it to the Steam Deck gyro then, might be fun to see how different it is. They can both do this.
