I'm not sure how this with this community at all. This community is about old games not as a place to highlight new games or post dev updates, sorry.

I'm going to lock this

First time I hear about the Boox Palma, a phone-sized E-reader with Android and the Play Store, does anyone have it? in c/android@lemdro.id

Saw this on another patient gamers community and figured I'd share it here too.

HOMM3 was my favorite by far. Such great memories of playing that game in college.

I've been meaning to replay it recently. Think I'll bump it up in the queue.

Any other HOMM fans here?

There was an article recently talking about how forums are still around. Has a decent list too:

Google working on RCS encryption between Android and iPhone in c/android@lemdro.id

Preach! I hate knowing that GV is basically on autopilot as a project at Google. They don't seem to ever treat it like it matters to them.

I've got a Palma. Love it.

Like others here, I keep wifi off while I'm reading and only turn it on to update my Omnivore articles or update my saved position in a book (using Kindle or Kobo apps).

I have no idea how the battery holds up for the people who are trying to use it as a phone (ie using it a lot for browsing or chatting and other battery-heavy apps).

I just wanted a phone sized eReader that could let me install apps other than just a bookstorr. The Palma fits that bill wonderfully.

I can't play anything that requires precision aiming with a controller.

A Steam Controller though? I'm way better. Especially with the gyro aiming or micro adjustments on the touchpads.

I know they are discontinued but as someone like you who had a rough time with those types of games without a mouse, I'd see if you can find a steam controller on ebay or something.

But I don't play FPSes at all any more really. And with games like cyberpunk, I'm always more stealth than action oriented so it hasn't been a problem. And when I have to use a normal controller and am forced to aim, I heavily rely on aim assist settings. I don't care 😂

Buying a Pixel 7 Pro, install Custom ROM or stay on default? in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] Subtex@lemmy.ml 20 points 11 months ago

Personally I stopped custom roms a while back. I'm not hardcore in the anti-google camp though.

If you are, obviously custom roms will be all you should be looking at. Tons of good recommendations in this thread already.

If you're not in this camp though, the default pixel experience has been great for me and might be for you. I find it the least annoying of the oem experiences (not cluttered in features I'll never use, simplified settings menu where I've never had to use the search on since it all made sense etc).

I'd say use the stock rom for a few weeks. If you hate it, custom roms are always there for you.

How save a file locally when choosing `share` on Android ? in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] Subtex@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

If you have a file manager app installed you should get that as an option for most content (I use Amaze).

Just an fyi for those of you that have the 500gb model and enjoy no mans sky in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

Thanks for this! I was definitely curious about how it would run.

I checked that Lemmy Explorer site and searched for "patientgamers" and this community don't show up.

Just the ones on lemmy.world and sh.itjustworks

I was just wondering how you all found this place. Are you all on lemmy.ml?

Does this community show up on any lemmy indexer?

One Year Anniversary Giveaway! - WINNERS CHOSEN! (lemmy.ml)

Hey everyone,

We're coming up on a year anniversary (I think) of this community and I thought I'd do some giveaways to celebrate that.

It's semi-annoying that not all game stores have digital gift cards you can purchase so there are a few options here.

  1. Amazon digital gift card: for those of you who buy physical games
  2. Physical Steam gift card: the slowest option, as it requires me to leave my house and buy a stamp and mail something (the horror).
  3. Gifted game directly in Steam / GOG.com

For the gifted games / gift cards it'll be capped at $30 -- after all, we're talking about old games here right? If you want a few games that total up to $30, that's cool too.

I'm going to pick two members at random from those who reply here as the winners.

Just comment with what option you prefer, and ideally tell us about what game you'd like to get (I'd prefer to limit the low-effort comments if we can. I like the discussions people have here so please do try to comment more than just "#1" ).

I'll sticky this post and will leave it open for 2 weeks (end of April is the deadline)

Thanks for keeping this community a cool place with good discussions!

UPDATE 4/30/24:

This contest is officially over!

The 2 randomly chosen winnders are:

@Klanky@sopuli.xyz

@Dymonika@beehaw.org

Congrats!

I will be messaging you both individually to get your email addresses or steam/gog usernames so I can gift you your games!

Thanks again to everyone again for keeping this place going!

Bug: Inbox unread count does not update when you switch accounts (lemmy.ml)
 

Reproduction steps:

  1. Add a profile from some instance that has unread replies
  2. Verify that the inbox icon shows the badge with the count of unread items.
  3. Add a 2nd account to the app from a different instance. Be sure this account either has a different number of unread messages or has none at all

Expected Behavior:

The badge on the inbox tab should change to reflect the inbox unread number for each respective account

Actual Behavior:

The badge on the inbox tab shows the number for whatever account has unread messages. Changing to an account with zero unread messages will not clear out that badge when using that account.

What are you playing this week? (lemmy.ml)
 

Anything good?

I'm hoping to get some time to play Return of the Obra Dinn if I could get any significant amount of time blocked off to game.

Hello Ex-Reddit people! (lemmy.ml)

I saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it.

Joined Lemmy here and noticed one of my favorite subreddits had no Lemmy equivalent — so I created it.

I have no desire to be a mod, so if anyone wants to take on that role just let me know.

I’m just hoping people do post here if they’re checking Lemmy out and seeing what’s available community-wise.
