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 😂

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

Welcome!

🥳

Ah OK. Every time someone asks how to find other communities, I see that Lemmy Explorer site linked, which is why I searched there and was confused why this community wasn’t on there.

Nice to know it’s showing up in other indexers though.

That would be really awesome of you!

After I’ve picked two winners, we can have you pick two more and you can send them the codes directly as well.

We can make it the giveaway part 2.

When we get to announcing winners I’ll message you!

Thanks!

It’s more like thanks to everyone who has been posting and commenting in the last year and keeping the tone/mood of this place chill, inviting and friendly, which is all I wanted.

Apparently I hadn’t checked in a while, because Steam used to not have digital gifts, I swear! But Yay, I do see they offer gifting digital codes now.

Thanks for the info!

I just checked and I already had that in my wishlist! Definitely looks cool

This has definitely been the case with me as well. Especially as I got older and had less time to play anything.

I’ve always been partial to story over mechanics though. I just think the preference has tilted much further in favor of story games now.

Trying to figure out why this post is so down voted.

I looked up the game and it was released 3 yrs ago.

It’s recent but it’s not new so it’s not really incorrectly posted here vs a normal games community, right?

Is there some other info about this I don’t know about?

Trying not to moderate too much here. And I haven’t needed to really. Everyone’s been great with posting great stuff here overall.

Just was curious.

Thanks!

It would be nice if you could include a description of what the video is when you post link to a video.

This was a really cool thing to do. Thanks for sharing with the community!

Wow that’s an amazing run you’ve given that kindle! I used to have that one as well, years ago.

If you are sticking in the Amazon/Kindle world, then a new Kindle (whether you go with the base Kindle or the Paperwhite) you’ll have a much faster experience for sure. The newer eink readers now can do several page turns without any real visual flash of the refresh. It’s a small thing but very nice.

The Paperwhite has a backlight which is helpful for night reading. You’ll also get dark mode in the new software (not sure if your keyboard kindle has stayed up to date with software updates or not). Also there’s waterproofing.

The base kindle just loses the light and the waterproofing.

If you’re not going to stick with Amazon, take a look at the Kobo readers. They’re a great alternative to people not stuck in the Amazon world.

Yup! I see there’s another Patient Gamers on another instance too:

https://lemmy.ml/c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

I think when I start getting to the subscribing functionality in my summer lemmy app project I’ll try and add some type of grouping.

Would be nice to have the multireddit type functionality to see a combined feed of communities with the same name that you follow on various instances.

Welcome!

Please do! That would be great!
