Showed this to a German friend who had me er seen it last time he stayed with me in the UK. It was such a staple to me and my friends I was shocked he hasn’t seen it!

What? Why is it an issue to drink anywhere so long as you’re keeping yourself to yourself and not causing an issue? America, land of the free…

I’ve had wallpapers of the latest McLaren F1 cars for the last few years. In my case this is from the official McLaren website but sometimes the official ones are a bit pants.

Oooh! I’d forgotten super meat boy. I’m off to see if it works on Steamdeck

Mass Effect - Legendary Edition on Steamdeck. Coming up to the end of ME2 now and having a blast replaying games I haven’t touched since I was a teenager.

As a Brit who misses the EU a lot they always did a lot right but are underappreciated by the people living in it.

Grabbed Mass Effect Legendary Edition on sale for £4.99 and having a blast. Completed the first game last night and now started on the second one. Runs like a dream, EA launcher didn’t cause any issues (I loaded it in desktop mode the first time) and the game is as good as I remember from first time around.

The only issue I’m having is when I use the HDR calibration in game I wind up losing a bunch of detail in dark areas and the image overall is way too dark.

I’ve also picked up subnautica ready to give it a proper go at some point after picking it up and it not quite gripping me on game pass on desktop.

I’ve never been a Linux guy but recently I’ve switched to Pop!OS on my laptop and bought a Steam Deck. Other than a few teething issues with the laptop I’ve had a great experience and I wouldn’t consider myself ridiculously tech savvy. I’d absolutely consider switching my gaming PC over but my worry is loss of performance and being unable to use my game pass games. I’d be super happy if I could switch my PC over in the next couple of years.

The Wedding at Cana by Paolo Veronese is hung opposite the Mona Lisa and honestly was far more worth seeing as far as I’m concerned. It was also mostly ignored by people desperate to get their selfie with a postage stamp-sized painting for their social media.

Just picked up the Legendary Edition Mass Effect Trilogy for £4.99 to play on the Steam Deck. Read a few guides online which made it sound pretty complicated to get set up but actually just doing the initial load of the game in desktop mode and logging into EA there has meant it now works through the standard deck mode without a hitch. Great game for the deck and (touch wood) performance seems pretty solid.

You’re joking right? I’m in the UK and every bugger going has a Merc or a BMW.

OOTL… What revelation?

It did!

My username on here wasn’t descriptive enough for Bing so I went with an old one I used back in my teens - DarthGrapefruit

God, Planetside and Planetside 2 in their prime were my absolute jam. I was a reasonably active participant in an outfit called Libertas de Dominitas on Werner and even went to an outfit meetup in Manchester. There’s never been anything else that quite comes close to Planetside.

I have literally no idea what “hexbear” and “tankies” are. I’d never even heard these words before being on Lemmy but they’re all over the place on here.

I dunno. They’ve provided this for free for Early Access backers (like me), which they didn’t need to do and none of this is required to enjoy the game. I just considering it as a bonus for backers and a small top up for people who don’t want to miss out.
