even when binging I watch the voyager intro every few episodes, I love the music too much

I hope they don't make that update to windows 10 as well 😭 control panel feels faster to use than windows settings

I really like the lore behind the vaults in the Fallout games. The only book I know that's somewhat similar is Wool, are there any others?

I use obsidian and syncthing, although I use it for just myself; as long as you aren't editing the same document at once it should work. If there is a file conflict, nothing will be deleted, just the conflicted file with have the word "conflict" in the name. So you can do a text compare between the original and that file to see what needs to be merged.

Syncthing is self hosted, obsidian has desktop and android apps. You can exclude certain files or folders from being synced on a certain device with syncthing. Obsidian uses markdown so that might take some getting used to, but the plus side being all your notes will be text so you aren't locked in to using obsidian.

You can also use another markdown / text editor as well, maybe one that supports wiki links for obsidian compatibility but obsidian works with the markdown link format as well.

I really enjoy time loop games where the player can explore and there's a story, and isn't just a puzzle game. I played Outer Wilds a few years ago and I loved everything about it, it's my favorite in the genre.

Ones I've played and liked / have on my list to play that look good:

  • Outer Wilds - (I still need to play the DLC)
  • Deathloop
  • Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
  • Undertale?
  • The Sexy Brutale
  • Zero Escape series (on my list to play)

Ones I don't like as much:

  • The Forgotten City - I liked the story (for the most part) but I felt it was spoiled far too early. I think by being a shorter non-linear game that was likely to happen. I got 3/4 endings in 6 hours. It was very hand-holdy which I didn't like. It had quests and quest markers which I felt didn't help the game at all. I wish it went the Outer Wilds approach and instead listed everything you learned, so the player would have to piece together what they needed to do next.
  • Twelve Minutes - I watched a playthrough of this game. The story was very interesting, but I don't think I would have the patience for the puzzles, it's a puzzle heavy game. I would like a game with more exploration.
  • Minit - Played it for ~3 hours, it was interesting but I would like a longer time loop.

These games have a time travel mechanic which I still enjoy but aren't really what I'm looking for:

  • Braid - The story is very interesting but it's a puzzle platformer with levels.
  • Life is Strange - I love this game but it's a time travel game rather than a time loop.
  • Chrono Trigger - I think this game has time travel instead of a time loop, it's still on my list to play.
  • Steins;gate (now on my list to rewatch rather than play, and it's more time travel rather than groundhog day time loop).

Are there any hidden gems I'm missing? Preferably looking for games I can play on PC but I also have a Switch, Wii U, and 3DS.

My partner and I played through Divinity Original Sin 2 many times with co-op, and now we are playing through BG3 and we are having the time of our lives. It's really really good. It's like co-op in DoS2 but I'd say it's even better.

Just make sure you recruit someone and they recruit someone to your party (just like in DoS2) so you both get to control another character. But it's really easy to switch out party members if they are in your camp.

he's pissed that Elon took his handle but not that pissed because he's still on the platform (cancelled his twitter blue, wowwww great protest), he still loves Elon, and calls X "Twitter" 😭 this is wild

the experience on mastodon / micro blogging platforms is very different from lemmy which is more of a forum / link aggregator. I get that the fediverse can be tricky to understand but I think for the best user experience it might be better to have a microblogging account for all those instances, and a forum account for lemmy / kbin. I think there's features that some platforms have and others don't? and the interface is very different.

although kbin is different as it supports both, and hashtags.

  1. downvotes can be disabled by admins of the instance for the entire instance, so it's optional and up to them. is there a karma system with lemmy (like showing how much total karma you have on your profile)? I know kbin has that

  2. user level instance blocking would be nice to have!

I'm on windows 10.

I occasionally like to play valorant with friends and starting in the middle of this month it's going to require TPM 2.0 to be enabled. I currently can't easily enable it because I'm on legacy BIOS for a reason I can't remember (and when I switch to UEFI, it can't see my windows installation). I have a new SSD that I can format in hopefully the right way to enable UEFI in the BIOS, but before I dive into fixing this mess I have some questions about TPM 2.0.

  1. If I enable TPM 2.0, can windows decide to update to windows 11 without my input?

Edit, I looked into this a bit and windows makes it very very easy to click to install windows 11. It's kind of disguised as a regular windows update notification :/

  1. Are there any downsides to enabling TPM 2.0? Are there any exploits I should be worried about? Will some legally acquired software not run anymore?
  2. Bonus question - why would Riot Vanguard (valorant's anti-cheat software) need TPM 2.0 to be enabled? Would it be a way for them to stop players from playing on a virtual machine? Or is it more so they can stop cheaters?

Thankfully someone already made a similar one here /c/bestupdates, I used to read BORU before bed too

A very niche tv show at this point, but it's very very good /c/personofinterest

I love Factorio so much. I find it's pretty mindless with a few settings changed, like biters not being aggressive. But nuclear energy always makes my head hurt so I avoid it for as long as I can

Honestly feels like I've traveled back in time 10+ years, it feels way more chill and 100% more approachable

r/BestofRedditorUpdates I fall asleep reading posts, it's bad (edit, thankfully someone made one here /c/bestupdates)

r/PersonOfInterest because it's my favorite tv show, I'm really due for a rewatch when I think about it
