BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?English5·8 months agoSomehow ctrl+f failed to find this one, but Path of Exile is probably my drug of choice there. While I raked in 1k hrs with Dota2, I’m not sure I"d recommend it unless you really want to sell your soul to MOBA life. And it’s not quite to 1k yet, but honorable mention must go to Satisfactory as it’s well on its way to being game #3 in the 1k+ list with me.
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Rough Roman Memes@lemmy.world•A true post-apocalyptic societyEnglish2·8 months agoInterestingly, when I was doing some research on the European cultural shift from Humanism to the Enlightenment, I recall some sources (forgive me, at work and not able to refer to them) suggesting that living in and around Roman ruins greatly lent itself to the Christian narrative that the people were living in a “last age of decay” just prior to the apocalypse. So technically pre-apocalypse, but more or less on the nose
Yeah, as a Pennsylvanian, this def needs an update
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Selfhosted alternative to SpotifyEnglish41·9 months agoIf I may recommend it, give Symfonium a try for an app front end. It’s actually stellar. I tried Finamp with the same and wasn’t as jazzed
I actually adore all of your miku posting. I can feel the Philly patriotism 100% hahaha
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structureEnglish17·1 year agoThat’s cool as hell to hear. The cynic in me is a bit ignorant of Swiss law and corporate behavior therein but is sure that at some point some douchebag will figure out a way to weasel out of it or push it in the direction of enshittification all over again, but it’s cool to see them make this move none the less.
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too”English10·1 year agoOn top of this, I doubt many of the Steam Deck’s current competitors could have sold at a loss like Valve did (IIRC, they sold at a loss or at least pretty close to it). Microsoft, however, definitely has the spare money as a larger corp if they decided to really back the XBox/Gaming division. Price-wise, they could compete. If they’re in the same pricing ballpark, manage a reasonable quality handheld, and can promise perfect windows compatibility with games, that might be something.
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•What is your favorite Open Source Game on Steam Deck?English4·1 year agoDude, I just started getting into BAR and, while a complete noob with a strong nostalgia for TA, I can’t even begin to imagine playing it on the Steam Deck. Not that I’m naysaying here, I’m just more in a kind of “I want to believe” state since it’s pretty much becoming one of my all time favorites.
All that said, brilliant write up! Share some of your control details for BAR too if you have a chance!
I use it, mostly because I wanted to build an analogue to Google Drive/Photos, though it took some work to get it to a point where it felt good. Since the default Photos app feels pretty garbage to me, I installed the Memories app (same thing but better, very like Google photos) as well as Preview Generator & Recognize.
These seem to do the trick. The automated tagging isn’t without its issues (pretty janky, frankly), but I’m pretty content with it to the point where I’m not looking to change in a hurry. Haven’t tried Immich, though it looks pretty enough like I’d probably just go with it since it does the one task it’s supposed to do, but again, I’m comfy and don’t feel the need to find a new home for my photos yet.
Absolutely beautiful
Big issue for musicians. Many of us have instruments that are just small enough to be carry-ons but just large enough to be a bit unwieldy compared to other carry-ons, so nabbing primo carry-on storage is a must.
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?English2·1 year agoLoads of data sciency stuff - one monitor for normal text editing/terminal work, another for accessing remote environments, and a third for a combo of work comms and music.
When not sciencing, I won’t lie, there’s a lot of Path of Exile with PoB on one screen and a podcast on the third.
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Let's Talk About Games@feddit.uk•I saw a recent post that 60% of playtime in 2023 was spent on games 6 years or older. What 6+ year old games are you playing?English4·1 year agoIt’s some backlog for me, but also some just solid as hell live services that have been around a while:
- Path of Exile
- The Messenger
- Warframe
- Yakuza 0
- Sea of Thieves
- Into the Breach
SoT and The Messenger both turned 6 just this year, so they’re squeaking by, but I suppose the thrust of the idea is still there
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consentEnglish86·1 year agoHighly recommend at least trying to poison your data before deactivating/deleting; they have some legalese that gives them a workaround to keep things to an extent

BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consentEnglish7·1 year agoYeah, the deactivation link takes you to “delete” it, but they do have some legalese that suggests they could keep it to “enforce their agreements” among other things
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux on the desktop breaks 4% for the first time on StatcounterEnglish2·1 year agoThere’s that and Heroic is doing some excellent work implementing proton and steams stuff into GOG games!
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Castles - Migrating to feddit.online@lemm.ee•Warwick CastleEnglish5·1 year agoWow, absolutely gorgeous. According to my father and his cabal of genealogy enthusiasts, allegedly this place used to be a holding of some distant ancestors of mine. I always used to get a kick out of looking at the family tree, where one guy would have a title, something like “Lord of Warwick Castle” (I can’t remember it exactly), then only to look a generation later and see a note by the next guy, saying “Re-Took Warwick Castle.”
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto MTG@mtgzone.com•Bo3 Timeless Metagame Tier List and Rankings - MTG Arena ZoneEnglish2·2 years agoDamn, dude, those are considered rare? That’s a hell of a bummer
BaroqBard@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Superb survival city-builder Against the Storm is finally finished and releasedEnglish13·2 years agoSuperb is right! Absolutely a delight, it’s become something I keep returning to on a regular basis. Each time, just enough balance between “chilled out,” familiarity, and freshness of relevant judgment/choice-making. Definitely helps that the UI is absolutely on point throughout and the music is a delight.
Oh choices, choices! So many possibilities, and with spare latch points on the spreader bar too… Looks like you had a lot of fun!
